Part II: See The Sun
Chapter 7: Vegas Night
1
My eyes dart from Eddie to Snow to Joss to Eddie to Snow to Joss to Eddie.
"What the hell are you doing here? And why are you with him? Come help me. He's a slayer Eddie he'll kill you too!"
He scoffs.
"Shut up Vlad."
Eddie shakes his head as Joss approaches me, Joss presses his hands on my head and they slug their way to the back of my neck – and suddenly he's in my face smiling.
"I just want to be able to take you in for a second…"
I sit there as Joss closes his eyes and his nose brushes against mine. I let my eyes lower as his hands move to my cheeks, and I don't move. For some reason I'm paralyzed.
"I'm so happy you're here. Russell will be as well."
He looks over at Eddie and smiles.
"Please go with the girl back to Russell and inform him that the Pravus has been captured."
Eddie nods and drags Snow out of the room. Her eyes are glazed over and her demeanor is impersonal as she follows the other vampire out of the room.
The door shuts and it's just the chair, Joss, and I alone in the all-white room.
"Vladimir…" He whispers into my mouth and smiles as he brushes his nose against mine. "Do you know how long I have waited for this?"
I whisper back. "For what?"
He presses his lips on mine briefly and I don't move when he does it, I just sit there and let him kiss me. I close my eyes as his tongue slides past my lips and entangles with mine. My own tongue softly caresses his as he sucks on my mouth softly. His hot saliva is left in my mouth when he breaks and goes back to staring into my eyes. I realize his eyes flicker – is that shock? I assume my eyes are glowing with their usual purple iridescence.
His hands go back to my neck as he brushes his nose against mine again. My eyes are barely open, for some reason my brain hasn't yet reacted to the kiss, nor does it have time to when he presses his lips back to mine.
Well, they aren't exactly pressed to mine. They briefly touch but this time I move forward and eagerly breathe in as they make contact. His mouth again opens first but this time my tongue darts forward as his hands fall onto my lap and caress my thighs apart as he slides between my legs on his knees.
His soft stomach rubs against the base of my crotch and his kisses get a bit more sporadic and uneasy.
That's when I finally break this kiss.
"Joss… what are you doing?..."
He looks at me and I notice his usual demeanor returning, the cold, calculating Joss as he stands up and takes a step back and leans against the wall.
"I'm just going to be open and say it Vlad. The reason I haven't killed you all this time is because I've cared about you, and now that Russell is to have you cremated, I just wanted to show you that… well, I'm going to miss you."
"That's sweet but… who's going to have me what?"
I budge a little and realize my wrists are burning behind my back, they must be wrapped in silver.
"Russell Edgington, the vampire king of Mississippi, is having you crucified publicly tonight, and then burned at the cross."
I hop in my chair out of fear and my eyes get wide. "WHAT? Joss you can't let him do that! I haven't done anything wrong!"
He gets back on his knees and I open my thighs to let him slide close. We immediately begin kissing and sucking each other's lips. I realize Joss is crying and I lean back.
"Joss…"
"I asked him not to do it Vladimir. I know I've done a lot of awful things to you, but I'm not ready for you to die. I'm not ready for you to-"
"Then stop kissing me and get me the fuck out of here!"

Roman and Russell arrive at the warehouse where Vladimir is being held captive.
It has been an entire twenty four hours since Vladimir's kidnapping from the hotel he had been staying in, but Roman is just as nervous as he was a day ago.
He wasn't sure what Russell's plans here were; were they to harness the power of the Pravus, or terminate the threat permanently?
He was scared to find out.
But he kept his cool as they entered the warehouse and walked toward the room where Eddie Poe had promised to have the Pravus.
"I've been waiting a long time for this."
Roman and Russell approach the door and Russell opens it. The boy is tied to the chair, his head is limp and he is facing the opposite direction.
"Awake Pravus! Your time has come!"
Russell says as they approach the boy, but he doesn't move.
"I said awake!"
Russell claps his hands as Roman zips to the other side of the chair to face the boy.
"Shit."
Roman says, as Russell growls. "Don't say shit. This better not be a shit kind of situation."
Russell zips over and looks down at Eddie Poe, who has tape over his mouth and is bleeding heavily.
Russell takes a step back and smacks his lips. "Shit indeed."

Vladimir was able to acquire a four bed suite for himself, Joss, Henry, and Snow. Henry and Snow hadn't said a word since they escaped the warehouse but Joss was very close for the whole trip. Vladimir stepped out on the balcony for a break from all of the awkward silence, but Joss only followed him out.
"We don't have to discuss it." Vladimir says as Joss approaches him. Joss places his hand just below Vlad's ass and then presses up and grasps it roughly. He presses forward and his lips make contact with Vlad's, and the two both close their eyes as Vladimir places his hands on Joss' hips.
Joss breaks the kiss and leans his forehead against Vladimir's.
"I don't forgive you Joss… we still have unfinished business."
Joss nods as his hand stays on Vladimir's ass. Vladimir doesn't move it nor acknowledge it as Joss goes up the back of his shirt and then down his pants to grab his ass with only his underwear blocking instead of his boxers and jeans.
Vladimir moans softly against Joss as Joss rubs his crotch against Vladimir's own. Joss talks softly and with complete control as Vladimir's eyes close and mouth opens. "You will punish me for it. I am aware that it will be needed. But not right now. Russell is going to find me soon, and we will have to split ways." His lips press against Vladimir's and the two hungrily take in each other's taste. Then Joss begins speaking again. "Until then, I'm going to take in every bit of you I can. And we will never speak of this with anyone. It is only to show we have passion for each other, and we love each other. Sure we're nemeses, but that doesn't mean we hate each other. We just have natural competition with one another."
Joss pulls his hand up again and this time goes into Vladimir's underwear, grabbing his firm ass and listening as Vladimir sweetly moans into his mouth.
"If you're okay with that… relax your ass for me…" Vladimir does as requested, and Joss' fingers pull his ass open and then prod at the tight hole. Neither of them had ever done anything like this before as Joss pulls his hand out, sucks his middle finger briefly, sticks it back in Vlad's underwear and slowly inserts it into his tightness, having some trouble at first but then sliding in all the way to the knuckle.
Vladimir buries his head in Joss' neck and blushes brightly, moaning as Joss pushes in and out of the hole, getting it wet and sticky. Vladimir's fangs pop out from the horniness as he looks at Joss. Joss, also getting horny, exposes his neck to Vladimir and smiles.
"I know you want to. Like I said before this entire encounter never happened, so do it Vladimir."
That's when Vladimir buries his fangs into the neck of Joss, and begins to drink.

Henry and Snow are sitting in the bedroom. They both are looking forward at the wall and neither of them are reacting to anything in the room.
A fly lands on Snow and she doesn't even notice it. Her mind is a floating cloud that isn't seeing any of her surroundings.
They especially aren't aware of Joss and Vladimir in the master bed, sucking face in nothing but underwear. It would look like a bloody scene to an innocent bystander, but to a vampire it would look like a damn good time.
Joss was on top of Vladimir, two holes on his neck were oozing sweet blood but at a slow rate, Vladimir had scratch marks going down his chest and to the bottom of his abdomen, and a bruise lay at the top of the waistband of his boxer briefs.
The only reason why the two of them weren't completely naked was because the two had been battling on who's underwear were coming off first.
The scratch marks on Vladimir were already healing, he was fine with Joss playing rough; in fact, he thought he might like it like this. Joss atop him was one of the hottest things he'd ever encountered.
Other than Snow in just her bra.
Snow…
Vladimir stops and lays back in the bed, Joss straddles him and then leans down and pecks him on the lips. "What's wrong Vladimir?"
"Snow. I don't want to do this anymore. I don't want to cheat on her."
Joss kisses him on the mouth and smiles. "She cheated on you."
"You raped her."
"So? She wanted it. She knew it was me."
Vladimir pushes Joss off of him and Joss immediately gets back on top and pins him down. "I want you and you want me. Let's just fucking do this."
"I can't Joss."
"You can Vladimir."
Joss kisses Vladimir again and as he does so, Vlad notices a sliver of something black in Joss' hand. Vladimir keeps kissing him but gets wary, and then pushes Joss off when he notices two shadows moving in the bedroom.
"Vladimir?... Joss!?"
Vladimir looks up at his beloved, she is crying and gasping, while Henry stands behind her with his eyes wide and mouth agape.
"Wait. Snow, Henry, I can explain."
Henry scoffs and looks at Joss. Then back at Vladimir as he grabs Snow protectively. "Don't bother. This is just like you Fanger."
The two leave the room and Vladimir looks over at Joss. "You did this. This was your plan all along."
Joss smiles. "Oh, but it gets so much worse."
The French doors in the bedroom open and a man walks in.
"Pravus! Your time has come!"
Russell Edgington walks into the room and smiles. Vladimir's eyes get wide as Joss begins to stand.
"JOSS! You said you'd protect us! You promised me that you didn't want this for me."
Vladimir's eyes swell as Joss grabs his pants.
"I guess that makes me a liar."
Russell frowns after Joss says this, mockingly. "Boohoo."

I lay motionless on a wooden cross. My arms and legs were tied onto it and the cross overlooked busy traffic down on the Las Vegas strip.
I close my eyes but the tears continue. Bloody tears.
The cold air bites at my nearly naked body as Russell and Joss come back into view.
"Where are Henry and Snow, Joss?"
No answer. I repeat myself, louder. The excessive amount of saliva spurts out of my mouth as my bloody tears run down my chin.
"WHERE ARE THEY!?"
Joss smiles and I notice Russell licking his fingers. "Your drudge was quite tasty Master Tod. I must say I rather enjoyed ripping the boy to pieces."
Joss reveals the object he had been concealing behind his back, I lose control of my emotions.
"She didn't struggle. I guess that shows defeat, maybe heartbreak…"
The bloody stake dripped on the ground and my eyes began to glow. I pulled at the silver chains but couldn't free myself from the wooden cross.
"Don't worry Pravus, you will be joining them soon enough."
Joss steps forward with the stake and four silver nails. He pulls my hand up and uses the stake as a hammer, pushing the nails into my weak skin.
I scream in pain, but after realizing it's only a waste of energy - I sit in silence.
He nails in my remaining hand and my feet, then he backs away and smiles at his work. I look at him and all I feel is anger and hate.
Rage.
Rage at the fact that I had been taken advantage of.
He hands the stake to Russell and the man smiles. "Any final words Pravus?"
Russell approaches me and I only stare into his eyes.
"Has anyone ever told you how spooky your eyes are?... No? Well allow me to be the first, and last."
The stake is pressed up against my bare chest, and I barely feel it. All I can feel is my anger and power increasing as the silver around my wrists and the nails in my feet suddenly seemed feeble.
"I have one thing to say."
Russell scoffs and pulls away the stake. "Make it quick boy."
My eyes go completely purple as my fangs bare. "I am going to rip out your undead heart."
End Chapter.
