)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
One week later...
Tala was still in his room ever since he got out of the hospital, he'd been locking himself in that dark room for hours hoping that the maiden would change his mind and might grant him the death wish he wanted. He stopped eating, training and and other things he used to do when he still had his sight. He was grateful for one thing, his blindness was a benefit to him. He began to grow into it, he was getting used to it by now. At least with this, he didn't have to see everything around him anymore...he wouldn't have to see her again... as she to him.
Knock...Knock...Knock...
Tala sighed, "Who is it?" he ask as he rolled over to one side of his bed, hugging the pillow tight.
"Master, Tala...Master, Kai sent me to bring your tray of food..."
Tala bit his lower lip, "I'm not hungry... " he called back.
"But master... It's been days since you had you meal..."
"Jaken... I'm really not in the mood. Tell Kai I appreciate the concern but right now, I really want to be alone..." Tala called out and then he pulled the blanket on to his waist and began to force himself to sleep.
"Of course master..."
Tala felt relief, he was gone... ever since the accident, he never allowed anyone inside his room not even his brothers. He left Bryan to be his right hand man during his absence, and it was a good decision to make. He never got news on what was happening in the BBA or the Brotherhood, he never cared what happened now... All he cared right now was himself...
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Hilary absent-mindedly walked around the mansion. She was bored being around with her girlfriends so she decided to walk around…
Until something beautiful caught her ears…
A Piano being played…
A familiar tune from the orchestra she watched at the television two days ago…
Etude No. 3 'La Campanella' by Liszt and Paganini
From where, she already had wondered to the Music room. She silently walked towards the door and peaked through the gap.
Kai was sitting in front of a grand piano, his back towards her. From her angle, the room was huge and has a lot of space. Along the walls, were different instrument mostly were the String Family instrument.
Her eyes returned to Kai, he perfectly played the piece. His fingers were dancing around the keys gracefully and with no mistakes made. No music paper in front of him, he knew the piece by heart and Hilary watched closely.
So Kai's at peace here…And I thought the jasmine perfume will calm him…
Hilary shifted her body for comfort but she accidentally made a huge noise by bumping her head at the doorframe.
Kai stop immediately, stood up and closed the piano with a loud BANG.
"Come In!" Kai announced
Hilary gulped but did not move.
"I said come in!!!" Kai shouted angrily. Hilary straightened up and opened the door completely. She was dead…
Kai turned around and was about to attacked at the person but he stopped and stared at the person. Hilary nervously approached him.
"You play beautifully…" she whispered.
"Whatever… What is it that you want???" Kai snapped at her.
"Nothing… I just accidentally came here. Didn't know you were having your privacy. Sorry, I'll just leave" Hilary said at once and turned away.
Kai stared down at the floor. "Wait…" he said more calmly. Hilary stopped and turned at him.
"Julia plays the Violin right?" he asked
"She does… Brooklyn showed her how to do so…"
Funny… What an odd coincidence the Julias they have. Tala taught her as well…Kai thought.
"See that Red Violin over there by the fore wall? Grabbed it and bring it to Julia. Tell her to play it at the Garden below the balcony. Yes that's were Tala's room is. Then come back here at once. I… um… wanna show you something."
Hilary stared at him, confused. "Okay" then she did what she was told.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"Warrior..."
Tala's head snapped to his side... The maiden was in his room. Tala sat up and he bowed his head as a sign of his respect, nor did he cared about it right now... "My Queen... "
Tala felt the Maiden approach his bed and he felt the bed creek slightly as the Maiden sat down.
"My Queen..is there anything you wish?" Tala asked.
"My warrior...ever since you came back here; you've been isolating yourself lately."
Tala said nothing as he turned his head away. The queen sighed at him, "Warrior... I have granted you a second life and yet you waste it. Is death really what you want, my warrior?"
"There is nothing else that would please me..." he whispered sadly.
"But I thought the female you crave is your source of your happiness?"
"That's what I thought...But I soon discovered, she wasn't happy with me. I realize that now, she wasn't happy with me because of the way I am. The way I treated her, the way I never considered how she feel... It was my fault to begin with. She too wished that she was dead so she didn't have to suffer under me. She wanted to be freed; I gave her no freedom but pain. It was my fault she died... I just hope she is happy, wherever she is... "Tala said slowly.
"Warrior... are you sure this is what maiden Julia wanted or is this what that Slayer wanted?"
Tala bowed hi head even lower, "Both..."
Silence.....
"Warrior...Turn your head towards me..." the maiden said quietly.
Tala did as he was told, then he felt a hand touch over his eyes. He felt a cold sensation run inside his orbs from the bandage. Then the hand was gone, he fekt his bandage being removed and when it was gone, he slowly opened his eyes.
"Warrior... "
Tala blinked as his vision was blury, after a few moments of clearing his vision...His vision came to normal and he sighed sadly. His vision was back....
"Don't look at what it seems, but listen to what your heart has to say. Julia may have died in the past but let's put it this way. She returned. For fate has brought you two back together. Don't let her go just yet…"
Tala bowed his head, "Fate is not on my side…"
"Well, I do hope you eras are more open than your heart…" The Maiden smiled at him then she faded away. Leaving Tala confused at her words…
Great… More Puzzles as usual…
Then again, the Maiden was never wrong.
OOOOOOOOOOOOO
Julia cursed as she carried the Red Violin to the dark Garden, Hilary told her to play there. With no any idea why. Things just get weirder and weirder every night. Luckily, Brooklyn somehow taught her the basic fingering so she can play her favorite Violin piece whenever she like… She couldn't help but wonder the violin playing was new to her not. For some reason, she always like the sound of it but by the way Brooklyn plays it, it wasn't just quite right.
Julia blew her bangs away from her eyes and positioned the instrument between her neck and shoulder, the bow at the basic position. She sighed again and drew the bow to make the sound come out.
Tala turned his head toward the sliding doors of the balcony. Someone was playing his Violin, and no one has access to it but him and… her.
He stood up and walk slowly to the balcony. He opened the door and the sound grew louder. He knew that tune perfectly well. They played it always.
Violin Romance…They called it that…
But the real name of it…
"Salut D'Amour" by Sir Edward Elgar
He always played that song to her whenever she was feeling down, or whenever they got into a stupid fight. He was always the one to apologies for the fight either it was her or him who made the offense.
Tala leaned on the balcony and he saw her, her eyes were closed as she allowed the Music to do the movements for her. His body eased into comfort as the song flowed to his ears and into his heart. She was always like that to him…
By the time it ended, she open her eyes and looked at the garden…
Great… That was plain stupid playing here…
"You play well…" Tala said to her.
Julia looked up immediately at the balcony. Shit…
"So… Ummm… Shouldn't you be resting? You might fall off the Balcony, if you know what I mean." She said trying not to point out his blindness.
"Forget it, I can see you. The dear maiden returned my sight… No worries." He said as his arms braced on the railings.
Julia sighed, "I see… Anywwwwwwways…." She turned to leave but in a sec Tala was beside her.
Oh shit…
"That Violin…" Tala began "It was hers… I bought it for her…"
Julia glanced down and extended the instrument towards him, "I'm Sorry! Hilary brought it to me told me to come here and… here, Sorry… Didn't mean to pry on it…"
Tala grabbed not the Violin but her Hands. She tugged at her arms, but he held her firmly as the Violin was safely tucked in her hands.
"Umm… Tala… My hands…"
"I know…" Tala lifted one if her hands and brought it to his lips. He closed his eyes and felt her skin on him.
Julia bit her lips to stopped her from the urge to scream but then again, she didn't mind him at all. Tala was whispering words now, words she didn't know. Then he silently her hand slide to his left cheek, his brows curved into a soft angle.
Then she sensed something weird… familiar.
"Feed from me…" she whispered to him softly. Tala open his eyes slowly and he looked at her concerned.
"Do it…" she said silently.
Tala stared at her wrist, it has been a week since his last feeding. He open hi mouth and his fangs elongated. She gasped at the sight. His thumb slightly massaged her wrist to relax her, it did. Then he gently brought it near his mouth and bit her.
She moaned…
Oh God…
Tala took in slow gulps and his free arm released her other hand and encircled it around her waist, pulling her towards him.
This was gonna be a long night…
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
She didn't now what happen, all she knew was that by the time she returned from Julia's room, Kai had her down on the floor.
Oh Fuck…
Kai's face was buried in her neck, he was silently licking his prey there. Hilary was just shocked as always at his movements. He was nipping at her skin but never puncturing it, just teasing her, scaring her.
"K-kai…" she whispered, as Kai gave her a long lick at the throat.
"Shss…" he whispered back. "Don't worry, you won't be hurt."
"That was what I was afaraid of.." she replied, So much for being a trained Slayer.
"I want you…" Kai told her as his lips made contact with hers. Hilary stiffened and she grabbed his shoulder to push him, no budge.
Then she let him kiss her…
She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer. To hell with the war, she needed a life. Kai smiled against his her lips and his tongue slipped into her, she gasped at the invasion but did not pull away.
She gasped loudly as his hand was on her thigh as was moving upwards. Her head arched backward on the floor as Kai released her mouth.
"Kai!" she gasped.
"Relax… Nothing's happening" he assured her as his hand landed straight at her privates, cupping her. She moaned.
Hilary quickly pulled away from him, but he held her down again. "Just Relax…"
"Kai… Stop it! This isn't right…"
"In what way is this isn't right?"
"I'm a damn slayer—"
"That is no reason and that is not it…"
"Please—"
"I won't do anything but—"
"We know damn well what you are going to do…"
"You want this and I can sense it… So don't you dare lie in my face and tell me you do not want this."
Fuck her, he was damn right…
Hilary turned to look at the piano, "Is this my punishment for meddling around your life?"
"Let's just say, that this is something both you and I want" he whispered as he went to her neck again.
He was damn right…again
Without warning, she pulled him closer again, "Fine… do what you wish.."
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Tala pulled away from her wrist. He didn't know how long he stood drinking from her, but he knew he didn't drain her yet.
"Sorry… I umm… didn't mean to" Tala said as he released her waist and licked the wound close on her wrist. Julia stared down at him.
When he looked up, he was surprised at the sight. Her mouth was open and her fangs were showing, her eyes were glowing with both lust and hunger. She was hungry as well…
Oh no…
"Julia? Hey… You alright?" Tala asked as he grabbed her shoulder.
Without any other warning, she was over him by a minute. Tala was shocked at her sudden strength that they both skidded on the grass, falling flat. Julia was on top of him, her lips finding Tala's pulse on his neck. When she did, she attacked with every force she needed. Tala cried out loudly and grabbed her closer.
"That's it…" he whispered as he stroke her hair, "Take what you you…take it from me…I know this is you…I can sense you…"
Yuriy –sama…
Tala gasped… did he just read her mind???
Julia was taking great pulls at his vein, damn she was starving. Years of temptation on wondering how it would taste like, how addictive blood is and yet, here she is feeding from the enemy.
Damn this is Delicious indeed
By the time she took in enough, she pulled away forcefully. She wanted more, but she needed to get it together. When she lifted her head up, Tala's eyes were glowing as it stared right at her.
"I'm Sorry…" Julia whispered, "I didn't…"
"That was exactly what she said when she first fed from me…" Tala told her. Julia gulped, he reached up and wipe off the smudges of the blood.
Julia couldn't believe what she did. Her first taste of blood and yet it was all familiar. She felt recharged and relax, as if her strength returned all at once. It was all familiar…
And she was sleepy…
Tala smiled as he sensed her drowsiness. "Come on… Let's get you to bed" he said as he suddenly tucked her body to him and carried her bridal style. He jumped up and landed on his balcony…
"You're sleeping her tonight…"
Hell of a night…
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Hilary was gasping for air, Kai just finished putting her to torture. Even though he didn't penetrate her, he still had his way of making her loose and crazy.
"Sorry…" Kai said as he sat up. He too was exhausted.
Hilary slowly stood up with wobbly legs. "I should go…"
"Sure… But you are not walking. "Kai said as he quickly stood up and took her in his arms. He walked out of the Music room with her in his arms.
"Put me down, I can walk…"
"Yeah right…" he mocked.
"For a tough vampire such as yourself, you are one hell of a STUPID MORON!" she yelled at his ears. He hissed at her.
"Well, YOU are damn LOUD for a bitch!" he yelled backed, no trace of anger, but instead, amusement.
"Damn you! I like you better when you are damn PROTECTIVE!"
Kai stared at her…
Hilary blinked, Oh boy…
Then he smirked, "You know… You shouldn't have said that…"
"Shut up, Edward Cullens…"
Kai blinked and stared with a look of disgust in his face.
"You have got to be fucking kidding me…" Kai cursed under his breath, "Funny thing about those books, they've never get it right on us."
(A/N: I'm no fan of twilight but I have nothing against the books. Just don't like it. Sorry…)
"Look, your kind maybe against all the folklore and stuff, they maybe right in some point—"
"We are not monsters, Hilary… We have our own ways of living in this world. If you Humans are able to accept the weakling, why not accept the freaks? We are no threat, you are…" Kai said firmly.
Hilary sighed, "Edward Cullen had a different theory though"
"He isn't real… How can you tell that? Fictional characters don't work here honey." Kai told her as they reached the stairs, "But we have one common thing…" his voice faded.
Hilary frowned, "What would that be?"
"We now have something to protect and fight for…"
Hilary stared at him, "Me???"
Kai's eyebrow raised up, "As if…" he said
Hilary smacked him a good one on the face, "You know, I actually fell for that one… Stupid me…"
Kai chuckled and this surprised her, "What I mean… I have some reason to finally introduce some life into me…"
"And this made me slapped you…" she whispered.
"Go to sleep" Kai said as he pushed the girl's room open.
"AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" Mariah screamed as the door burst open
WTF? What's wrong with her?
"It's ok guys…hehehe…just us"
"Ever hear… of knocking!!!!" Mariah shouted at them, "We could have been you know…"
"Whatever… I'm going" Kai said as he put Hilary down and he left in a flash.
Mariah began, "You two seem to be getting along, other than the fact that he can murder you anytime and that he can tear you limb from limb then eat you then—"
"Mariah!"
"Sorry! I'm just concern, He IS a Vampire you know"
"Sure, he may look scary, dominant and every horror living in him as hell. But underneath that, he still is someone sweet…"
"Sweet? Have you bumped your head or something?" Mariam stated as she came out of the bathroom.
"No! It's just… He seems different—"
"Around you? Ok! It's official! We just lost our Hilary and her mind!" Mariah stated,
"I'm serious! He maybe tough but under that, he is still like his brothers." Hilary said, "He can strike fear into everyone with a glare, but he still has a soft spot…"
"Yeahhhhhhhh… Soft spot for you… But us? Trust me, we're on his food chain" Mariam said as she went to her bed .
"Diet! His sexy by the way…" Mariah stated. Hilary and Mariam looked at her, "Kidding!!! Damn, you two are dead serious all the time! Where's Julia when you need the clown?"
"Busy… But what about Rei, he seems—"
"Don't you dare even go there!"
"Ooooohhhh… I'm sorry, did the sexy looking Kai didn't math up with your feisty Rei??? You can always flirt around… You're good at that!" Mariam joked as she laughed.
Then a pillow came firing on her way…
"HEY!!!!"
The pillow began flying…
Hell of a night…
