A/N: The two characters in this chapter are not Stephanie and Mark. They are the king and queen of the underworld...
Chapter 4: Royalty Of The Underworld
"What is this?" he asked, running a finger through his long blonde hair as he and his queen came upon the body of a young woman sitting seemingly lifeless on a bench. He examined her neck and saw the two tiny holes and knew right away what the cause of her death had been. "Who dares to intrude upon our territory?"
"I don't know, my king. But whomever it is has some nerve!" She ran her finger over the cheek of the dead woman, tracing the outline of the engraving there.
"We are the king and queen of the underworld, and yet we don't get the respect that we deserve..." He couldn't believe that someone would intrude on territory that so obviously belonged to his queen and him.
"What do you think we should do?" She ran her fingers through her red hair and looked at her king as he looked at the victim below him on the bench.
"I think we should find out who the hell fed off this young woman," he said, touching Ambrosia's silky blonde hair. "And then... We'll kill them."
"How are you so sure it's more than one?" she asked curiously.
"You doubt my instincts, my queen?" he asked smoothly, looking up at her sharply.
"Never," she answered quickly.
"Then it is settled. We will find these disrespectful vampires... And we will end their eternal lives by driving stakes through their hearts."
"But decapitation," she said. "Decapitation sounds much better."
"...You're right. We'll decapitate one and stake the other."
"Right," she agreed happily. "I love decapitation!"
"Ah, ah, now what did I tell you about the L word?" he asked, shaking his finger at her.
"It's only used to describe the way I feel about you," she recited from memory.
"That's correct. You're slipping," he said shortly. "But it matters not, because I know the way you feel about me."
"I wonder why this vampire engraved The Undertaker's symbol in his or her victim's cheek?" she asked, changing the subject quickly.
"We will find out soon enough. Perhaps it's just a crazed fan," he said. He put his arm around her shoulders as they started to walk away. "You know how crazy fans tend to get in our business."
"Wrestling is a crazy business," she agreed, putting her arm around his waist. "But it's a great way to make money the legal way."
"The legal way." He laughed. "My queen, you humor me."
She laughed softly. "I humor myself as well..."
They walked off into the darkness, searching for some people who they could feed off...
Now I know you guys can kind of guess who this royal pair is by the color of their hair, right? And once again, "seemingly". Hint, hint.
