Story of my Life

Dedicated to all the people who have been reading this story since I first uploaded it

Two pairs of eyes glared back at each other.

The sleeping beauty was now very much awake, tousled-haired and heavily embarrassed.

"Please, take your hands off me so that we can converse like two civilised demons", she stated calmly, yet the irritation flared brightly in her amethysts.

A white light shone on his crystal-clear spectacles, the eyes behind the glass closed, but slightly twitching. Reiji rose from her bed and took a step back.

Naomi fixed her straying locks and adjusted her nightgown, then sat up completely straight, her back touching the headboard and the blanket covering her lower half.

"Who are you and what were you trying to do to me?", her eyes had slanted into the shape of well-whetted daggers.

The vampire swallowed back the noise of annoyance, "My name is Reiji Sakamaki. I apologise for my former actions, I was merely inspecting your wounds."

The brunette hummed in thought, yet her expression didn't waver, "You're his son, huh? Pleased to meet you, then, I suppose. Should I introduce myself or..."

He gave her a nod to continue.

"Very well. I am... Aurora. Aurora Lagesque," carefully, she searched for a hint of emotion, surprise or even recognition, in his stoic face, but found none. "Is everything alright? With my injuries, I mean."

Τhe foolishness she told him... I'm an idiot!, she mused bitterly, Revealing my identity so recklessly!

"No need worry, Miss Lagesque, I assure you, you are in perfect health. As for Yui... The girl has been waiting for you-"

"Oh my, is Yui alright? Is she hurt?"

"I advised her to rest, but should you wish to see her-"

"Oh yes, please, I really must see her!"

"As you wish."

The heart that flutters within her. Yui! Her... friend is here, together at last. The enthusiasm, the need to see her again!

"Please, bring her to me!" came the girl's plea like a ringing bell to his ear; the vampire inwardly winced.

Reiji bowed to her and bid one last goodbye, reaching for the exit when, "Why did you address me as a 'demon', pray tell?"

Amethysts widened and twitched, teeth biting onto lips, "I-I don't understand? What do you mean?"

"You have been plenty talkative thus far, Miss Lagesque. Why shy away at such a simple question?"

Her lips settled in a thin, almost stubborn line, her eyes blazing with a defiance that reminded him of Komori Yui.

(But little did he know, there was fear hidden in those purple depths.)

"I also noted I know your father. I think just from that, you could have concluded how I know of your kind."

"And whose son am I, may I ask?"

Amethysts widened and twitched, teeth biting onto lips, "What a silly question, don't you think?"

"I was solely repeating your earlier words, Miss Lagesque. How well acquainted are you and my father?

A gulp."Enough to know you're the secondborn Prince."

Please, don't ask for more, please don't ask for more, please don't ask for more-

Reiji's smirk was thin as he watched her head gazing down in shame, "I see. I shall leave you to your own devices."

Trembling fingers inched closer to the messy locks.

Idiot, one tag. Idiot, came the second. Idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot-

Slapping her cheeks until they turned rosy-red, Aurora rose from her bed and with shaking feet waddled before the mirror.

There was a stinging pain in her back every time she moved, stemming from her shoulder blades, but -at least- the ache didn't reach the tips of her feathers.

Unbuttoning her nightgown (and avoiding vigorously her reflection) she twisted her arm to search for any wounds.

She found nothing. Nothing? Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. NOTHING.

"No, no, no, no", a prayer.

Tears now prickled at her closed eyelids and she forced them open, seeing only two little, black dots marring the pale skin.

The words, screams and pleas, died in her throat, hotness searing her cheeks as the little, black dots were sucked within the flesh.

The blackness returned almost instantly after, bursting alive and slithering like a poisonous snake, dancing and moving until they created a pair of inky, eagle wings.

"Wha-wha... what is this... what have they d-d-d-"

She couldn't finish her horror-stricken lament.
