Caged Wings
Chapter Twenty Seven: Everlasting Lust
Dimus' eyes widened a little. Evan was different than before. Why? Dimus closes his eyes and slowly opens them. He then grins, "Xaven, huh? Should I be impressed?"
Xaven turns to Dimus and chuckles, "You tell me."
He then appears behind Dimus. He then says, "I'm just here for the fun!"
With that, Dimus turns around. Xaven smirks and back hands him across the room. Dimus goes flying and hits a wall, leaving a huge dent in it. Dimus then lands to the ground. He gets up and holds his chest in pain. He looks at Xaven with his eyes widened, "This isn't the same vermin as before!"
Den Maco analyzes carefully. She places a hand on her chin and smirks, "Hmm.......interesting.....it seems the werewolf has another presence within him. Interesting indeed."
Xaven then cracks his neck, "I haven't done that in so long!!"
Dimus then heals quickly. He then growls and smirks, "No matter. It's all the same to me either way. As long as I kill Evan in the process."
Xaven began to laugh, "Please. Don't put me in the same league as that low life! He's nothing compared to me!!"
Dimus chuckles, "We'll see now won't we?"
Xaven smirks, "Yes. Indeed we shall see."
Dimus then cracks his neck and knuckles, "I'm gonna enjoy this greatly!"
Xaven's smirk widens, "As will I."
Dimus then crouches down a little. Xaven just stands there smirking, waiting for Dimus to come at him. Dimus' eyes began to glow red as he dived at Xaven.
Xaven smirks, expecting Dimus' attack. As Xaven braced himself, Dimus disappeared and reappeared in a diving motion behind him. Xaven turns and grabs his neck, "Oh come now. I know you can do much, much better than that."
He then throws Dimus back. He then goes flying backwards, heading towards the throne chair. Dimus then crouches his feet on it, having no harm done to him. He then looks up and smirks, "Alright.....I'll admit. You're more of a challenge than that pesky werewolf! Now that I've tested out the waters.....I can now fight for real!"
Xaven chuckles, "This should be amusing. Very well.......let's see how you really fight."
Dimus smirks as he launches himself at Xaven, "That's what I like to hear!!"
Dimus then goes in for a kick. As Xaven went to block, Dimus then punched him in the face instead, faking the kick. Xaven then goes flying back and hits right into a wall. Dimus then lands on his feet, smirking.
Xaven then raises himself up, smirking. He then spits out blood, "It's been a while since I saw my own blood. How exquisite! I finally found a worthy challenge! But don't let it go to your head just because you got one punch out of me!!"
Den Maco observes Xaven's every action. She smirks, being intrigued by his every move. She then thought of an idea at that very moment.
Dimus laughs at Xaven's comment, "Oh, it is that so? You haven't seen anything......yet!!"
He then runs at Xaven, throwing multiple punches. Xaven blocks most of them and dodges the rest. Each punch had such speed and timing. Dimus then punches Xaven's gut and grabs hold of his neck. He then runs with him in his grasp and slams him hard into a wall, leaving a huge dent in it. Dimus then grabs Xaven's shirt and throws him across the room. Xaven goes flying and lands onto the floor. Dimus cracks his neck and begins to walk towards Xaven, "You were saying?"
Xaven gasps and turns himself over. He then coughs up blood. He growls in anger as he wipes the blood from his mouth. He then stands and turns to face Dimus. Xaven's eyes narrow, "Now you're just getting to be an annoyance."
Dimus smirks, revealing his fangs, "I take it you don't deal with defeat very well?"
Xaven smirks, "Not when it's by someone as foolish as you."
Dimus raises an eyebrow, still smirking, "Foolish am I? I'm not the one stuck inside a vermin's mind now am I? I have one mind alone. Am I so foolish then?"
Xaven growls in anger, "You're gonna regret your words.......!!"
Xaven then runs at Dimus. He then disappears and reappears in front of him and slaps Dimus across the room. Dimus goes flying and lands into a wall, leaving a large hole in it. Xaven smirks, "It seems it is I who has the upper hand now."
Dimus' voice is heard, "Don't be so sure."
Xaven's eyes widened. He then turns around as Dimus drives a punch into his chest. The wind was then knocked out of Xaven. He never seen such speed in a long, long time. Xaven then goes flying upwards a little ways. Dimus then grabs his leg and throws him across the room once again. Dimus chuckles, "I'm not what you think......Xaven! I am the King of Vampires! Do you really think you can defeat me that easily?"
Xaven growls as he stands, "What makes you think I care? It doesn't matter to me as to who or what you are!! It's all the same to me when I vanquish ingrates like you!"
Dimus smirks, "Go ahead and try. Let me see your strength, vermin!"
Xaven growls even more. As he went to dive at Dimus, Den Maco then steps in front. She then places a small paper-like talisman on his forehead. Xaven's eyes widened as massive electricity surges from it. Den Maco smirks as she resides, "Slumber my damned! Know my name! For it is Den Maco! For you are the one I will tame!!!"
Xaven roars in pain and arches back as the talisman electracutes him. Den Maco smirks as Xaven is thrown back from the impact and lands onto the floor. Xaven roars, "NO!! I WILL NOT GO BACK!!!!"
The talisman then gets stronger and Xaven's eyes close instantly, putting him into a deep sleep. Dimus' eyes widened a little. He then turns to Den Maco, "You didn't have to step in, sister."
Den Maco then says, "I know. But I can't have you kill him."
Dimus raises an eyebrow, "Why not?"
Den Maco looks at Dimus and smirks, "I have some use for him. That entity has no ordinary aura. It's quite powerful. A useful asset to our vampiric army!!"
Dimus then thinks for a moment, "Hmm.....you're right. But there's one problem though."
Den Maco then says, "Which is?"
Dimus crosses his arms, "Xaven and that vermin share the same body! How will that work when I wish nothing more than that filthy werewolf dead?!!"
Den Maco smirks, "Because I'm gonna do the Soul Transfer Ritual! Allowing Xaven to have his own body and having him in our army! While Evan is yours to kill!! It's win win for both of us! Everyone gets what they want!"
Dimus thinks for a moment once again, "Hmm........interesting idea. Alright, Sister, how soon can you have the ritual done?"
Den Maco then says, "I'll need a week or so."
Dimus growls, "Fine. In the meantime........we'll take Evan back and I'll bring Raven back here....."
Den Maco smirks, "You're gonna woe her aren't you?"
Dimus chuckles, "Indeed I will. Indeed I will....."
Moments later, Evan woke up on the front lawn of the League of Retribution's house. He sits up and rubs his head, "Ugh.......what the hell.....?"
Evan then looks around and realizes that he was back at the house. Evan staggers to his feet, "I was at Dimus' castle......how did I get here?"
Evan then shakes his head to snap out of it. He then walks inside the house. Zero walks in the hallway. He sees Evan, "Hey....what happened to you?"
Evan places a hand on his head, "I have no idea."
Zero chuckles, "It looks like you have a hangover."
Evan grunts, "At this point.......I wish I did."
Zero shakes his head and walks off. Evan then goes to his room and falls into his bed. He felt weak and drained. He really didn't remember what had happened.
Raven was sleeping in her bed, still feeling drained from her last battle. Raven murmured a little in her sleep. She then turned over onto her back, still sleeping.
Her window was open. A cold breeze blew inside the room. Fog began to fill the room. At the foot of Raven's bed, the fog began to form a figure. The fog then drains into the figure as it formed Dimus. He then looks down at Raven sleeping. He smiles, loving the sight of her sleeping. He then walks over and sits beside her on her bed. He then leans down and kisses her lips. Raven's eyes slowly open. Dimus leans back, smiling, "Hey, love."
Raven's eyes widened a bit, "Dimus....."
Raven then sits up, "What are you doing here?"
Dimus frowns a little, "I heard what had happened to you on your last mission. I wish I was there for you."
Raven then says, "Don't worry about it. I'm okay now."
Dimus then puts a hand on the side of Raven's face, "Come back to my castle with me....."
Raven's eyes widened, "Are you serious?"
Dimus smiles, "I am, my dear."
Dimus then stands and walks over to Raven's dresser. He then sees the silver ring. He picks it up and goes back to Raven. He then grabs her hand and places it back on, "What do you say? Want to come?"
Raven rubs her eyes, "Okay.....I don't see why not."
As Raven went to stand, Dimus lifts her off her feet. Raven gasps as Dimus picked her up in his arms. He smirks, "No walking for you, my love. You still need your strength."
Raven chuckles a little, "I'm alright.....really."
Dimus smiles, "Even so.......you still shouldn't have to walk."
Raven smiles and giggles a little. Dimus then goes out the window and flies with Raven in his arms.
After a short while, Dimus and Raven arrive at the castle. They both land on the nearest balcony. Dimus then places Raven on her feet, "There we are, my sweet love."
Raven blushes a little, "Umm.....thanks."
Dimus then began to kiss her. Raven's eyes widened. She then closes her eyes and kisses back. Dimus then touches the small of her back and pulls her into himself, deepening the kiss. Raven then wraps her arms around him as the kiss went on. Dimus then places his hands under her thighs and lifts her up, hooking her legs around him. Raven gasps at the sudden action. Dimus had a firm grip on her. He then says in a whisper, "I love you, Raven. I've held in my emotions for far too long."
Raven's eyes widened a little. Dimus then kisses her once more. Raven's eyes widened even more. Dimus pulls back and whispers with a smirk, "Time to lose your virginity."
Raven raises an eyebrow, "Uhh......I'm not a virgin."
Dimus smirks even more, "As a vampire you are......."
Dimus then kisses her deeper than before. He then began to walk with her towards his bedroom. As soon as he was in the room, he closes the door with his foot.
