When Darkness Falls
Chapter 2
"Hi! My name is Darien Shields. I sell vacuum cleaners and I thought you might be interested." Said Darien
Serena felt relieved. "His name is Darien Shields, not Endymion Deveau. And he is kind of cute. Maybe I do need a vacuum cleaner" thought Serena.
"I've just moved here and this was the only job I've found. Do you need a vacuum cleaner?" said Darien
"I've just moved back after about 16 long years. What kind of vacuum cleaners are you selling?" asked Serena.
"Well if I could come in, I'll show you what I have to offer" said Darien
"Sure please do come in" said Serena. As you moved aside to let him pass she heard the wind whisper death once again and when she looked at Darien he hadn't seemed to notice."
"Why are you looking at me like that?" asked Darien
"I, I've been seeing and hearing things but I'm not sure if I should talk to you about it?" asked Serena
"Why not" asked Darien
"Well you're a-" Serena started but got caught in the blue of his eyes.
"A what?" asked Darien
"Well this morning I went for a walk in the garden where all the roses are and there was a white bush that had a red rose right in the middle. I picked it and it turned black in my hands. I dropped it and when I looked again it was white. Then the wind started blowing really hard and I could swear I heard the word death. And things are moving by themselves. I think I'm going crazy." Said Serena
"You're not crazy, I too have been seeing things like that. I think there is someone dark in my family line." Said Darien
"When I first saw you, you look just like a enemy of my family" said Serena
"What was his name" asked Darien
"Endymion Deveau" said Serena. Serena noticed that his eyes darkened at her words.
"I'm afraid that that name doesn't ring a bell" said Darien
"Hmm. Well let's see those vacuum cleaners." Said Serena
"Oh well I don't have them with me. But I'll put you on the list and come by when I have them" said Darien "I'll show myself to the door"
"Well ok. It was nice meeting you" said Serena
"Likewise. Goodbye" said Darien
"Weird guy" said Serena after he left. "Well I better go get my bath"
¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤
"Damn" said Darien "She knows who I am. I should have figured with her living in that house. I thought that when I killed off her parents that that would be the end of it. I should have swept her off her feet years ago. Before she knew what I am. By now she would have been like me. But she did invite me in. I think I shall visit her tonight."
¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤
After Serena got out of the bathtub, She pinned her hair up Chinese-style. Red and black always looked best on her. She got her favorite black suit with her red blouse. She was heading to an interior designer shop where she was going to redo her home. But she was going to stop at that interesting coffee shop around the corner. She hopped into her red Volkswagen beetle and sped away.
Serena was sipping her café latte when a figure sat at her table. She was hoping it would be Andrew but she was dismayed when it turned out to be Darien.
"Hello" said Darien
"Hi" said Serena
"I must apologize about my rudeness before. That name you mentioned is the very evil in my family that we have been trying to get rid of for years. May I sit down?" asked Darien
"I don't see what it would hurt." Said Serena
"Endymion Deveau is my great-great-great-great grandfather. He was what we call a vampire." Said Darien
"Is he still living?" asked Serena
"I don't believe so. I believe he died centuries ago." Said Darien
"Maybe so, but then is this the man I'm dream about. Only one way to find out. I now all I have to do is seduce him. That should be easy." Thought Serena. "I hope so for everyone's sake." Said Serena.
"Though, if everyone in your family were as beautiful as you, I could see why he'd want you" said Serena
"I'll take that as a compliment. You know, I really don't need a vacuum cleaner, I just thought you were cute." Said Serena.
"Touché" said Darien
Serena laughs.
"Would it be ungentlemanly of me, if I were to ask you to dinner tonight?" asked Darien
"Not at all." asked Serena
"Delicious" said Darien
"What should I wear?" asked Serena
"Nude is fine. Nah I'm kidding. Though I'm sure it would be nice but I don't think the hosts will appreciate it." Said Darien
"Hosts?" asked Serena
"I just happen to be invited to a party tonight. Guests are welcome. Formal attire." Said Darien
"What time?" asked Serena
"Eight and all in to the night." Said Darien
"Sounds fun, pick me up?" asked Serena
"Of course. You never know, you just could fall in love tonight" said Darien
"Highly unlikely-" said Serena
"I wouldn't say that just yet" interjected Darien "Well I must be on my way. I shall see you tonight" said Darien as he kissed her hand.
"How noble." said Serena
"You have no idea." Said Darien as he leaves
"Maybe he'll seduce me. Well it's 2 PM now. I don't have time for the designer today because I have to buy a dress since I don't have one. Well I'm off" said Serena
¤¤¤¤¤¤
Darien laughed. Able to resist me she must not be. Unless she knows her destiny but I seriously doubt that.
"Welcome home Darien" said Rei
"Ahh Rei. How nice to be prepared when I return." Said Darien
"I've been waiting for you, Darling" said Rei
"I'VE TOLD YOU NOT TO CALL ME THAT. I DON'T FUCKING BELONG TO YOU! On your knees! This time you won't survive." Said Darien
"No please I'm sorry" pleaded Rei
"No apologies this time. I don't need you to get to her anymore." Said Darien
"Need me? You were using me?" asked Rei
"Oh simple-minded Rei. You think I was fucking you every night? Well physically yes but mentally, it was she. She has dreams of a man from the past, well that man is I. She is meant to be by my side for the rest of eternity and I will have her. Now close your eyes, this will be your last fuck ever!" said Darien as he entered her from behind. He had the power to turn things into poison and I don't have to tell you what he was changing, I hope you would know. If not for the miles away from anyone his castle was, everyone would have heard Rei's scream of pain as Darien climaxed and she took her last breath.
¤¤¤¤¤¤
Serena went to three different shops till she found the dress that screamed her name. It was a red silk dress that hugged her skin and had black lace that covered it but you could still see through it. It was spaghetti- strapped and had a line beneath her breasts that tightened beneath them and then became loose as it went down to her feet. She had black shoes that had a jasmine cut heel. With some curls in her hair and all the right make-up, she would be to die-for!
¤¤¤¤¤¤
Darien was there at eight on the dot. Serena was impressed. He was so handsome. She felt drawn to him but then she felt as if she could turn away at any moment instead of the opposite. Maybe love would find her tonight.
"You look so beautiful" said Darien
"Thank you" said Serena
"I wish we could blow this party but then you would have gotten all dolled up for nothing. But we could be fashionably late don't you think" said Darien
"Whatever you say" said Serena
"Just drive for now John" said Darien
"Just what do you have planned for our little 'drive'" asked Serena
"Well I thought we would drink champagne and then I'd seduce you, we'd make love, and then go to the party." Said Darien
"The party part, well let's make it my place and forget about the champagne, we don't need it" said Serena as she grabbed his collar with both hands and pulled him towards her.
"Before anything happens, I should ask you, you don't even know me, why give in so easily?" asked Darien
"I could ask you the same thing. Now shut-up and kiss me" said Serena
"Anything you say" said Darien
He pulled her to him and he kissed her with such passion that it bruised her lips but she didn't care, this was what her heart wanted and what her body needed. He had already taken off his jacket and her fingernails were tearing at his shirt to take it off. He helped her unbutton his shirt as he unzipped her dress. Her dress was two parts, top and skirt. They were both topless, skin-to-skin. He started exploring her chest with his mouth and his hands. She reached for his belt buckle and felt his hardness instead. She unzipped her skirt as it fell to the floor revealing her red lace panties. He unzipped his pants, leaving his boxers on. He wanted her to take them off. The need she felt was of urgency; she hadn't felt like this since the first time she had sex, eight years ago. Every time after it was always slow and romantic but her dreams showed her true feelings. This went on for another hour or so until they were both well tired out.
"I don't think I can move a muscle" said Darien
"Awww. That's just too bad." Said Serena
"I have something to confess" said Darien
Serena pulled back as if stung.
"I'm not a vacuum salesmen" said Darien
"You're not" said Serena
"No I'm really an undercover cop" said Darien
"Oh. Then why were you posing as a vacuum salesmen?" asked Serena.
"I was investigating a murder and that was just my cover. I was going door to door looking for information." Said Darien
"Oh. Well I think a cop is sexy," said Serena as she pulled him to her.
Somehow they ended up back in her bed where they made wild passionate love until the morning hours.
¤¤¤¤
Serena woke with the sun shining on her face. She felt so energized. She looked beside her to find that Darien was not there. She wrapped the sheet around her body and went to look out the window. She was surprised to see Andrew coming up the walk. She went to the closet and pulled out the light blue sundress and slid it over her head. She ran a brush threw her hair and slid some sandals and hurried down the stairs. She probably smelled but she didn't care. She had to tell Andrew about Darien. When she was half way there she was surprised to find that Darien was still there, and was making his way towards the door. He was wearing black slacks, no shoes and his shirt was open. Dear lord Andrew would think she was cheap. No she had to intercept Darien before it was to late. She was unsuccessful so she hid until it was over.
"Hello" said Darien
"Hey Serena.wait your not Serena" said Andrew
"No I am not but who are you and what do you want with Serena" asked Darien
"I'm her friend. I live next door. I have some things for Serena" said Andrew
"What kinds of things" asked Darien
"Things Serena was seeking. Now who may I ask are you" asked Andrew
"I'm-" Darien paused reading Serena's thoughts. "I'm her fiancé" said Darien
"Fiancé? Funny Serena never mentioned you" said Andrew
"Perhaps because it was none of your business" said Darien
Serena heard heated voices and decided she better go break it up
"Good morning Andrew. How are you this morning?" asked Serena
"I'm fine. You didn't tell me you were engaged?" asked Andrew
"Engaged?" asked Serena 'Engaged in what? How could he know' Thought Serena
"Where's your ring" asked Andrew
"We had to get it resized" said Darien
"Oh yes the engagement" said Serena
"How long have you been in engaged?" asked Andrew
"Three weeks" Said Serena
"Hmmm. It must be nice." Said Andrew
"He said he had some things for you" said Darien
"Things?" asked Serena
"Yes some more diaries of your family" said Andrew
"Oh yes" said Serena
"I don't have them with me but maybe if we could meet for lunch." said Andrew
"Why don't you just go get them and bring them here" asked Darien
"Nonsense. Andrew probably has things to do. Why don't we have lunch next week and we can discuss them then" asked Serena
"That sounds great" said Andrew
"I'll give you a call ok" said Serena
"Ok. Bye" said Andrew
"Bye and thanks" said Serena as she shut the door.
" I think his intentions towards you are more than friendly" said Darien
"What's it to you" asked Serena
"Well I am your fiancé" said Darien
"About that-" started Serena but wasn't able to finish before Darien swept her up in a passionate kiss..
AN: I know this isn't but like 2 pages but I figure you've been waiting sooo long that you deserve.something..So I'll give you what I got. But don't worry. My head is full of ideas so the next chapter should come within the next few weeks..
