Chapter III A Broken Desire

Nah I don't own esca or the beautiful song 'Iris' Yeas this is gonna remain depressing till further notice lol

+++++++++

++++Spade++++

he sat in his empty club as Black quietly got everything ready

"you ok?"

"yea fine."

She didn't even look at him

"and Corvin?"

"do we have to talk about him?"

"just what did he say?"

"same things he always does he don't reject or accept me he just kind of leaves me there."

Spade nodded

" Black I think you need someone who loves you really loves you your wasting your time you know?"

" here? Find someone that will love me yea sure you mean like Folken?" she laughed

"didn't he get involved w/ that crazy rich girl?".

+++Folken +++

Angelique looked through her closet

" why are we going to this party I don't even like Halloween."

She sighed holding a red dress against her,shaking her head and throwing it into a huge pile of other clothes

" I know but I need to go to this."

" you make it sound like business."

It was but how could he tell her he was in business w/ vampyres?

" just do this for me."

"I hate your friends they all give me the most bizarre feelings especially that strange one w/ the silver hair."

"Dilandau?"

"whatever, now come on help me pick out what to wear!"

Folken sighed.

++ The Vampyre Slayers++

Allen removed his sunglasses " I want Dilandau killed." He ordered

" Don't even think that tonight is an opportunity!"

Allen whirled around to see a man standing there "I make the orders."

He was around 6 ft. he had icy blue eyes and he frowned constantly

"who the hell are you?" Allen said unimpressed

" I am the Sandman."

" does anyone have a real name around here?"

The Sandman glared at Allen then Merle

"who the hell brought him to our underground demon slaying organization?"

Merle began " it was me."

"Where did you find him?"

" he has been slaying the vampyres too for quite sometime."

" is this the face of a person who cares?! You know I leave this in your hands for a week and you bring on a guy who probably has actually no real experience other then watching a few horror flicks."

Allen frowned

" Please just give him a chance!"

" Tonight we observe I want no blood spilled even if it's from a vampyre."

the Sandman turned away and stormed off

++ Van ++

he hated the things his brother made him attend he had absolutely no desire to be a part of this disaster but if he didn't show up he'd probably never hear the end of it besides it was nice when Folken saw him functional because then he'd never suspect that Van was a crackhead ( yea good luck keeping that a secret Van !)

++ ++ Several hours later.++++

Spade was impressed by the crowd that he had gotten He saw the Lady In Black enter wearing a black dress (what else?!)

" sorry I'm late."

"Trouble in paradise?" he joked

" not quiet ." she smiled at him

" I thought you'd be w/ Corvin wasn't he happy to see you or what?"

"you know Corvin he can never decide what he wants."

just then Corvin entered w/ two trashy girls clinging too him he smiled proudly flashing a smile at Black briefly.

She grimaced before hissing (and throwing up lol)

"look at that unholy trio."

"hey I wouldn't mind being in Corvins uh position right now."

she just gave Spade a look of death "I appreciate the vote of confidence."

" come on I don't mean it ."

"it doesn't matter anyway."

It did but she said that anyway

Folken walked over there w/ that same girl he met in Paris what was her name Angelina?

"hello, this is Angelique Beau Pre."

Spade and Black nodded in unison

" I'm the Lady In Black ."

Black offered her hand

"unusual ." Angelique said "Folken has said much about you."

Black nodded ignoring the somewhat insult

"and you?" she looked at Spade

" I'm Spade."

"hmm haven't heard anything about you."

Black stood up Only to see Corvin standing beside her w/ the same two girls

"hello Dev." He said softly to her trying to be as a seductive as possible

all she could do was hiss out a "fuck off."

He grinned at her "you always had a way w/ words." Spade looked suspiciously at Corvin he couldn't just run around randomly saying her real name.

"and who is this?"

Corvin looked fascinated by Angelique

Who smiled at him sweetly flipping her hair around "Angelique Beau Pre."

Folken cut into this budding romance

"Has anyone seen Van?"

"yea he was over at the bar you know him he's not really into these sort of events ."

" so I noticed." Folken said dryly

Corvin had disappeared off to the dance floor w/ the two sluts er girls

Spade leaned closer to Black attempting to discreetly look down her dress (ok so he's horny lol)

" you really shouldn't let this bring you down you know have fun ."

she sighed "Spade?"

"yea."

"what colour are my eyes?"

"huh?" he quickly looked up at her face "black of course!" he said slightly flustered

"ok just checking ."

although his eyes drifted again.

" you must be Spade." Annoyed Spade looked up "What?!"

there stood that Allen vampyre slaying guy who looked like he spent too much time on his hair.

"what are you doing here?"

"sorry is this a strictly demons only club?" he laughed at his own joke

he looked at Black "this must be the infamous Lady In Black the unnamed one?"

"Black is fine." She commented not wanting to be civil to "candy boy"

" What's this a shakedown?" said a slightly intoxicated Dilandau

all three of them turned to see him

Dilandau took out his lighter lighting a cigarette smiling briefly at the flames

" oh yea this must be the one who lights everything on fire." Allen said cruelly

" keep your damn mouth shut unless you want your precious hair burnt to a crisp."

Dilandau held the lighter dangerously close to Allen's luscious blond locks

Allen took a few steps back to be safe "didn't anyway ever tell you to never make threats when you are drunk?"

"ha! me drunk!"

suddenly a young girl around 17 ran up to Allen

" what do you think your DOING?!"

Allen sighed

" nothing why did you come anyway?"

"The Sandman sent me so something like this wouldn't happen."

Spade looked up suddenly "did you say the Sandman?"

They both nodded

Spade sat back thoughtfully remembering something until it hit him

Corvin used to work w/ the Sandman until of course Black turned him into a vampyre then they remained friends but went their seperate ways who was the Sandman after now? Or was he trying to kill Corvin?.

++ Later that night++

The party had ended but Black offered to stay behind and begin cleaning up she didn't want to go home not now anyway she sighed turning on her cd player she was tired music would keep her awake.

"Still here?"

there was Corvin.alone.

" your still here?"

"yea Spade told me you were staying after he didn't want you to be alone I guess."

" I don't need to be looked after." She said softly

"it's not just that."

"what then?"

" we didn't get to dance."

She smiled slightly

" your lost somewhere in highschool." She laughed

" is that a yes?"

"Of course."

He gently pulled her closer she was careful to stay away from full body contact she didn't want to think about all the things she could never have.

And I'd give up forever to touch you Cuz I know that you feel me somehow You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be And I don't want to go home right now

He looked at her deep liquid eyes she looked the same she had the same smooth pale skin her messy dark hair fell into her face and he smoky eye make-up smudge she had the same eternally purple lips but it wasn't even the way she looked that was gothic it was mainly the way she acted so was amazingly morbid but maybe that was what made him drawn to her.

And all I can taste is this moment And all I can breathe is your life Cuz sooner or later it's over

I just don't want to miss you tonight

They slowly swayed to the music she looked at the mark she had made upon

His neck she felt somewhat guilty over it but he seemed to be impressed w/ his immortality he hadn't aged sure only 8 months had passed since they last saw each other But he looked the same frozen in time perfect the same as always.

And I don't want the world to see me Cuz I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am.

" what are you thinking about?" he asked her " hm?" " come on your mind is always ploting away." "no it's not!" she laughed " I'm really glad you come back." "nah you were ok w/ out me." " No Corvin that's' the thing I wasn't."

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming Or the moment of truth in your lies When everything feels like the movies Yeah, you'd bleed just to know you're alive

"what are you saying?" "nothing really all I mean is I hate where I am." "its' just Night Lord V getting under your skin." " you could say that." " god I don't now how u can put up w/ those social rejects and pyro's." "well you know I am a social reject myself." "no not you your just depressing."

And I don't want the world to see me Cuz I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am

She had taken the time to plan out their future but lately she was rethinking everything that had ever felt right if things were right this shouldn't feel like such a burden she'll say this until of course the next time she gets lost in his eyes.

And I don't want the world to see me Cuz I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken

I just want you to know who I am

She just wanted one person to love her but she was however forced to be alone Tormented and broken all her desires were broken she didn't know whether it would have been better if she had just avoided Corvin but that was impossible she couldn't ignore him he meant so much to her so many pieces of her soul were now his he had taken no she had given him.

And I don't want the world to see me Cuz I don't think that they'd understand

When everything's made to be broken

I just want you to know who I am

The song was coming to an end soon he would let go of her drop her back into reality but this piece of hope that she clung to couldn't dampen her spirits right now she was believing something she couldn't quiet comprehend something she couldn't put into words that would form a sentence.

I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am

He let go of her the world was still "you should get out of here it's late." He turned leaving "night Corvin." She whispered and everything ended and she took her coat walking out talking the back way she didn't care that she walked through deserted alleyways she felt that hollow feeling the hole in her soul that maybe even Corvin couldn't mend.
