She laughed as we ran through the grass. The long weeds tickled my ankles as we ran to that spot at the edge of the cliff. She turned back to me, smiling as she motioned me to take a look at the view. It was a beautiful view, the city lights glowed alongside the shimmer of the ocean. At that moment I understood what happiness was about. It's such a shame that she died that night. God I wish it was me sometimes, and go back to those peaceful nights at the edge of the cliff . Time tears apart our moments for reasons, although I can't understand why I was taken much later and she had to leave so soon. As I lay in this coffin, this damned coffin. I hate it so much! I hate having to live in shadows of those mortals. Damn them all for having such a life. I blame them when really I only have myself to blame. As I stand I seem to remember all those living years. "Lilyth!" A voice calls to me. Behind my tinted blue hair I arose to see Dominique standing in the doorway, shrouded in light. I squinted from the sunlight shining off of her raven black hair as she walked toward me. "what is it?" I asked her a bit angry from my rude awakening. She calmly walked toward me as she pushed her long hair behind her left ear as she stared at me. "You've been summoned" she said in her bitchy tone as she smirked revealing her fang as I stood there half asleep. "Why now? He can't wait till tonight?" I answered in a monotone voice feeling too drained to move. Dominique shrugged as she gracefully turned around and made her way to the doorway. "It's your choice" she said. I could hear the aggravation rising in her voice from that last comment. She made her way up the stairs until you couldn't see her anymore. I shook my head, why should I? He doesn't own me anymore, I don't have my head that far up his ass like Dominique does. I might as well or else. I slowly released my wings stretching as I walked from my chambers to the stairway. My dress trailing slightly behind me, I sighed. I put my pale white hand to the cold iron door until I heard a voice behind me. I turned around, my hand still on the door to see who it was. Deanna ran toward me, in quite the hurry as her auburn curls bounced between steps. She stopped in front of me as her green eyes seemed to glow around my presence. "Lilyth! Where are you off to?" she asked in a cheery tone. Deanna was one of those tormented souls, she was dragged into this life from her mother feeding her to a beastlike creature. I'll never understand how she stays so cheerful in this rotten oblivion. "I've been awoken on short notice" I answered in my usual monotone voice. She smiled at me as she turned around like she heard something. She turned back to me and put a finger to her pale pink lips as she ran to a nearby stairwell. I turned around and pushed open the large cold door and walked up those mold covered stairs. The gargoyles seemed to stare at me, more than they usually do. The top of the stairs turned to marble as my boots clicked on the glossy stone. At the top of the stairs I saw him slouched down in his chair, Dominique was beside him. Dominique licked her red lips as she slid her hand down the man in the chairs shirt. He smirked and sat up looking at me. "Lilyth?" he said questionably like he didn't know of my presence standing there. I raised my head slightly "yeah?" I answered in an angry tone. He stood up and walked toward me as Dominique stood there, rejected. "Lilyth" he said licking his lips circling me as he ran his hand across my cheek. I snarled as I followed his every move. "Lilyth I have a little job for you my dear" he paused "you'll be having a partner this.." I cut him off "I work alone I told you this various times Murdoc." Murdoc smirked as he drew closer to me, his forehead against mine. "I'm not working with you" he said behind those greasy brown bangs and that faded smile. I just glared at him. "who is it this time?" I asked in an angry tone. Murdoc smiled seeing that I had no choice but to agree. "He'll meet with you in your chambers" he stopped seeing that I could care less about what he rambled on about. I turned around and waved my hand "next time you want me, wake me up for something important" I said as I walked to the stairway. "Don't kill your partner this time alright sweetie?" he said as I left without a word. Down the stairwell I was stopped by a orange haired man. He smiled down at me "so you're my partner? I was expecting someone a little more rough looking" he said as he chuckled. I glared at him as I walked to my chambers. Unfortunately he followed me, rambling on about his accomplishments. His next word was followed by my claw to his neck. I stopped abruptly, he stood there frightened. I smirked as I pulled back my hand and walked back to my coffin. I gently closed my eyes as I tried to forget about Murdoc and his silly favors. I awoke that night to that annoying orange haired man peering down at me. I flung my hand around his neck as he tried to pull back. "What do you want?" I screamed into his face. He just trembled there, frightened, like a helpless puppy that's been kicked one to many times. "W-we were s-s-summoned to M-Murdoc" he stammered as I dropped him onto the stone floor. I released my wings as I walked out of my chambers slowly. He followed behind me, making sure to keep his distance. This is exactly how I wanted it, I wanted nothing to do with Murdoc or his annoying orange haired lackey. I just wanted to sleep, I walked up those long hallways and to the giant door. Pushing the door open, he stood behind me "where are we going?" he asked in a whimpery tone. I walked outside ignoring him until I saw Murdoc. Murdoc smiled at me while Dominique just stood there clinging onto Murdocs arm. I guess she isn't used to sunlight yet, Murdoc walked up to me. "Are you ready Lilyth?" he said then he turned to the orange haired man " And you Miguel?" I just stood there while Miguel hiding his fear nodded and puffed out his chest "yes sir!" He answered enthusiastically. Murdoc nodded as I spread my wings and leaped into the air as I flew into the midnight sky. Miguel leapt onto the rooftop as he followed behind me leaping from rooftop to rooftop. I landed in a nearby tree as he jumped onto the ground and sat at the bottom of the tree. He jumped up to the branch I was so neatly crouched upon. "What exactly are we doing again?" he asked as I turned to him. "Were out to steal the blood of a young woman between the age of 14 and 21." Being he was only a werewolf , he was very stupid. Miguel sniffed frantically "I smell something" he said. I peered down and patted his head "now's your chance, go down and rip her heart out and I'll drain the blood." He frowned at me "why do you get to drain it?" he whined. He was really starting to annoy me. I pushed him off of the branch as I watched him pounce upon the woman changing into his wolf like form. Before he could do anything a shadow swooped in on him. I frowned and flew from the tree branch chasing after the woman as Miguel fought with the shadow. Out of the park and into the streets I flew to a nearby alleyway, remaining unnoticed. I pulled the frightened woman into the alleyway. She screamed as she trembled aware that I was going to kill her. I released my claws and ran them through her neck, holding her up by the neck I ripped out her heart draining it into a vile I carried with me. I looked back at the woman, surprisingly she was still alive. But she will only live for a few more seconds. I kneeled down and looked her in the eye. Her widened eyes stared into my bottomless pools which I have for eyes until she lay lifeless on the ground. I flew back to where Miguel was only to find his mutilated body on the ground. I only shook my head as I flew back to Murdoc only leaving Miguel to die. Murdoc looked up at me confused "where is Miguel?" he asked as I handed him the vile. "The shadow got to him, that what he gets for being so stupid" I answered as Murdoc shook his head and slowly walked to where I told him Miguel had fell.
