Silver Band
Walking into my room I flop down on my large king size canopy bed. My coverings are white. White, not black. My sheets are white. My comforter is goose feathered stuffed and white. My pillows are white. The only thing in my room that is not fully white is Tora's fur that lies on my bed as an extra covering. Risika gave it to me the night Aubrey had slain her. As much as we both cried for the loss of our beloved Tigris we both agreed that her fur belonged to me. After all, she was my half blood mother. My mother and father had used her blood to strengthen me as I grew from an infant. My walls are… White. My windows are long and almost always open. Looking to them now I see the white curtains blowing in the wind. My floors are all wooden oak. Occasionally you might see an authentic rug I collect as travel the world in my free time. I am restless; I jump off my bed and move to my oak wood dresser.
Looking into my full-length mirror I notice that the silver band that I wear on my ring finger is missing. I hesitate before remembering something that I had not thought twice about before.
"Fucking Nikolas." I whisper angry.
"Yes my love?" He appears before me in my room.
I roll my eyes and turn back to my reflection. Long auburn hair like my mother's, golden highlights that are natural. Smooth darkened beige skin to illustrate that I am of Hispanic heritage. Emerald jade green eyes like my father when he was among the living, over 5,000 years ago. I was 5'11 with the body of a goddess. Long legs that were very well muscled, a full and well developed bust. I know my body and face is nothing to complain about, my high cheekbones show off my full lips and my nose is small and slightly turned up. My father used to say I had a snob nose. I scowl at the thought of my father.
"Still frustrated over the quarrel with your father?" Nikolas says in my ear.
"Must you linger around like a leech?" I snort.
"Presumptuous much today Thalia?" He laughs.
I glare at him, my eyes piercing his, "What do you want?"
"Well I thought I made that clear weeks ago Thalia." He grins.
"And what is that?" I play with him.
"C'mon Thalia! You know I want you! You know I think we would be perfect together!" He shouts angry at my criticism.
"My choice was made the day my mother died Nikolas. I do not wish to be immortal anymore." I feel the hot tears sting my eyes. I turn away from Nikolas.
"Baby? Think about what we can do together?" He kisses my cheek. I shiver. "I know you think about it. You can't tell me you've never thought about it." He smiles on my cheek.
"The day Epione is no longer walking this earth…" I pause, letting my words linger, "That is the day I will be immortal."
Nikolas's eyes widen, "I had no idea you still wanted to avenge your mother's death Thalia." Nikolas says amused. "I approve to the fullest."
"Shut up." I pull away from his arms that were momentarily wrapped around my body.
"What? Is this about Aubrey?" He barks.
"Jealous?" I tease.
He grunts, "Of that weakling? Ever since Risika took his blood. Do you know what the other's say about him?" Nikolas taunted, taking me in his arms again. "They say that he's a weakness to the silver line and should be destroyed." He laughed.
"No." I whispered. Even though Risika had in fact embarrassed him for life, he as still the strongest of any of them. Other than Risika and myself, and… my father.
"He's weak Thalia! Can't you see the consequences before you if you choose him instead of me?" He hissed.
"Let me go Nikolas." I said annoyed.
"Or what?" He challenged.
I angered, "Or I will cut off your balls and use them as wind ornaments for my porch."
"Funny Thalia. You have humor. At least we know that didn't die the day your mother did." He touched at my sensitive spot, my mother.
"Get out." I say through clenched teeth.
"I mean it's not everyone else's fault your mother was too weak to go against Epione." He taunted.
"GET OUT!" I screamed. Tears forming behind my eyes, ready to drop.
He rolls his eyes, "Fine. But remember this Thalia…" He licks the side of my face and nibbles at my ear, "You will be mine. Make no mistake about that." He grins like a wolf and thrusts my lips to his. If I hadn't been so enraged about what he said about my mother I would have returned the kiss.
No one has the technique like Nikolas when it came to passionate kisses.
We pull away breathless, "I knew you'd like it." He licks my lips and bites my bottom lip. "Here, can't live without this now can we Thalia?" He slips the silver band back around my ring finger.
Only this time it has Nikolas inscribed on the inside of the band.
"Good bye Nikolas." I say breathless still.
He smiles triumphantly, "Yes my darling." He is gone.
I'm tired; I'm irritated and all together surprised that I need a cold shower now. Damn Nikolas.
Thank you guys!
