Taking Over Light - Part 5
A/N: Hi folks, and welcome back! I had a big struggle with this chapter, as this is the reason I changed the rating to R. Is my first attempt ever to write smut, so please be gentle, as I'm afraid future parts will make me change this to NC-17. Anyway, thanks for your wonderful reviews, and for encouraging me to write more. Special thanks go to Kim, the Manipulative Little Monster, because is her fault that I'm writing this... ^_^

Also, special thanks to those of you who reviewed ch. 4: Lillian (Thanks for the vote of confidence!), Dara (here's the next one...), and Katy (sorry, no Blix for a while, since now the story is going to start focusing on the two main characters...)

DISCLAIMER: Everything Legend belongs to Universal. Anyone that is not from the movie (Except Tic, he got killed in the Editing room), is mine. Not making any money aout of this, so please don't sue.

And now, the story.


Taking Over Light





Ch. 5: Seeking Light

After Darkness returned home he couldn't stop thinking about Light. Every time he closed his eyes all he saw was her smiling face looking innocently at him.

She was sitting in a small clearing in the forest. He had been observing her for a while now, without being noticed. Accidentally, he stepped on a branch, and her head jerked up in his direction.

Recognizing him, she smiled and said, "Is you! I was hoping to see you again."

He sat next to her, taking the hands that were extended in his direction.

He was silent for a moment, taking in her beauty, her scent of freshly picked flowers.

Without thinking, he pressed his lips on hers, deepening the kiss as he felt her response. He continued trailing kisses down her neck, stopping to taste her collarbone with his tongue, eliciting a soft moan in response.

Getting bolder by her response, he continued kissing her collarbone and went downwards up to where flesh met silk. Stopping to look at her, he was transfixed, as her face was beaming with desire, her eyes darkened with passion.

He went back to her mouth hungrily, her hands traveling through his chest and then his back, making him stand up with passion.

Undoing her corset, he allowed a hand inside the fabric, caressing her breast until its peek rose in attention, making her moan even louder.

He made the motion to pull down the dress off her shoulders, when a sound interrupted them. Turning his head to the sound, he saw nothing.

When he turned back to the girl, she was gone. He looked frantically for her, but she was nowhere to be seen.

He screamed in frustration, "No!"

Opening his eyes, he sat up, sweat all over his body. It had only been a dream, but it seemed so real!

Growling with frustration, he tried to go back to sleep, the scene of passion replaying in his mind every time he closed his eyes. He tossed and turned for hours, until slumber finally claimed him. Fortunately for him, the rest of his sleep was dreamless.

Those dreams had been hunting him for the last 300 years, increasing his desire for someone he thought he could never have, until now.

Looking at her sleeping so peaceful in his bed, hair spread all over the pillows, made his desire grow in intensity.

He would do nothing to scare her, if not his plans could be ruined, as he learned earlier with Lily.

For all the years he had observed her, he knew she was friends with Jack, and that Jack had tried to court her unsuccessfully. Jack now had Lily. Very curious that Jack's beloved princess looked remarkably like Light, but could never compare.

Even in her innocence, Lily was scared of Darkness when she saw him for the first time, that never happening with his Lady Light. Light would never be scared of him, unless she learned who he was.

The girl stirred on the bed, still asleep, a smile forming on her lips as she slept. Darkness looked at her, wondering what was she dreaming about. With a smile on his lips, he took a small mirror and sat on a chair next to the bed, curious to know what she was dreaming about.

As the dream focused in the hand mirror, he could see a clearing in the forest, very close to the one where they met, and there she was, glorious, but seemed that she was looking for something, or someone.

He made another gesture, and now he was able to hear as well as see what she was dreaming about.

"Hello? Where are you? I know you are here somewhere. Show yourself, please?"

Light kept looking for someone, she could not really tell who she was looking for, but she knew it was he. She never learned his name, but she never forgot him. Something inside of her called out to him, but she didn't know what.

She was scared; she was alone again in the forest, lost, with no way out. She was hoping that her friend, yes, the kind creature that helped her so long ago would help her again. She felt tears forming in hr eyes, as she looked frantically for her way back.

Darkness took his attention off the mirror, as he felt her stir restlessly in her sleep. He moved next to her on the bed.

Light was moving frantically on the bed, and started screaming, "Please help me, don't leave me alone!"

As he was leaning over her to keep her from thrashing around, she opened her eyes, full of tears.

Smiling as she saw him, she said, "You came!" and putting her arms around his neck, she started sobbing on his shoulder.

Darkness was startled by this. He did not expect this reaction from her. He froze as he felt her arms go around his neck, and her head lean against his shoulder. He was more surprised when she started crying, not knowing what to do.

Then, his arms went automatically around her, comforting her. Closing his eyes, he inhaled the scent in her hair, just as he remembered, of fresh picked flowers. One of his hands trailed along her curls.

For how long he had longed for this? He had lost count of time. Eyes still closed, he placed a kiss on the crown of her head, his cheek resting in the place where his lips were moments before.

Gently rocking her back and forth, he said, "Now, now. Calm down, you are safe now. I am here; nothing will harm you. I promise that."

After taking some deep breaths, Light realized that this was not a dream. He was real; he was here with her, wherever here might be.

Lifting her head from his shoulder, she put enough space so she could look at his face. Millions of questions came through her mind, how she got here, where he came from, how he found her.

Only one question came to her lips, the questions she had wanted to ask for hundreds of years, and she thought she would never be able to ask, "What is your name?"

A pang of pain came over Darkness heart. Of all the questions she could ask, she had to ask the one he could not give the answer to, not unless he was willing to lose her forever.

Not knowing what to say, he looked into her eyes, and before he realized what he was doing, he said, "My name is Dar..."
