Dancing with a Demon
Grimm: We're almost half way now.
XxX
The memory made her shudder in fear. She looked down at herself and found no tendrils wrapped around her but a slight change in wardrobe. Eve gasped, who had changed her clothing and why? For now, she was stuck wearing a black and teal blue corset dress. The gown itself was black but the corset had vertical teal stripes imbedded in it. The shoulder straps didn't even hang on her shoulders. They sagged but the dress didn't fall. Its sleeves weren't connected at all. They were cuffed to the lower half of her upper arm, right before her elbow. It widened as it went down her arm before ending at her wrist. At each end was black lace, the rest was blue.
Eve got up off of what she now knew was a bed, and began making her way to the exit. The exit was a large doorway; there was no door. As she neared it, the crystal walls began to darken before large crystals emerged hurriedly, stopping the lilac female from escaping.
She yelped as they suddenly appeared and blocked the only way out. Soon the same male laughter echoed throughout the room. The violet hedgie looked around trying to find the one who had brought her here. She was scared but determined to know why.
"Over here, little one," a gruff male voice called out. Eve whipped her head to the voice, finding a black puddle of what looked like ink. She froze when a figure started to emerge from it.
Instinctually, she backed up to the blocked exit. The figure was revealed to be a hedgehog. Only he didn't seem to be a real hedgehog. He, strangely enough, looked almost exactly like Shadow. Which wasn't helping the lavender female calm down one bit.
The male's muzzle was like it was wiped clean. There was no mouth or nose, nothing, just grey. Instead, of the blood red that Shadow had on his quills and fur was a sickly teal blue. It matched her outfit. Was he...? But what scared her the most was that his eyes...his eyes were those reptilian green. The shade that she always saw in her nightmares.
Eve could hear her heart thump loudly. She never took her eyes off of the form, but shivered lightly. The greyed male let out a deep chuckle that brought the female's attention back to him.
Ceasing his laughter, the teal-striped hedgehog gazed at the violet female before him. She was tensed like frightened deer which... amused him.
What would she do if he stepped closer?
The plum hedgie intrigued him. What kind of person would the Ultimate Lifeform keep around him? Who would he allow close to him? Apparently, this girl. She, herself, interested him as well. This female managed to... tame the Ultimate Lifeform. The one he couldn't convince to join him. The one that nearly destroyed him.
"Who are y-you?" a little voice questioned softly, earning a perk of greyed ears. The male set his gaze on those scared sapphire gems of her eyes. If he had a mouth, he would be grinning like the Cheshire cat.
"I... ," he finally spoke, "am Mephiles the Dark." The mouthless hedgehog, now known as Mephiles, gave her a bow, not once breaking eye contact.
