War Of The Night
Chapter Two: Dracula's Ball
"Why brother, you look absolutely dashing." Mokuba said to his elder brother. Quickly Seth spun around to face his mischievous little brother then smiled baring his fangs. "How has your night been my darling little brother?" Seth asked while turning back to his full-length mirror. "Mine has been average so far, though you seem rather dressed up just to go out and sit in a lifeless tree all night." Mokuba said smoothly while eyeing his brother's outfit.
Seth was wearing a pair of black leather pants, a velvet midnight blue dress shirt, and his black form fitting trench coat. He looked ready to kill but their clan had already had their feed for the night, what was Seth up too? "Brother really, where are you headed?"
"Nowhere Mokuba." Seth replied while admiring himself in the mirror, though there was absence of his very own reflection he could still appreciate how his outfit looked. The raven-haired vampling leaned against his brother's doorframe and crossed his arms and spoke in a composed voice, "You wouldn't happen to be sneaking out to attend Dracula's ball would you, big brother?" The blue-eyed vampire stood tranquil at the mention of his intention. Slowly, Seth turned to face his smirking little brother, "How did you see through my…"
"I am your brother Seth Of Moon, you can't fool me." Mokuba retorted to his elder brother's unfinished question. "Well, Mokuba Of Darkness, hopefully you plan not to interfere with my arrangement in the company of Dracula."
"Of course not big brother, but I just wanted to warn you that Mother and Father know something is going on. You were too content tonight at the feeding and they have been badgering me all night to tell." The vampling's voice had turned into a soft murmur. Seth felt his heart begin to race, "But have no fear dear brother, they know nothing. Now, go before you get caught."
"What will you say of my absence?"
"That I had not seen you since the feeding."
It was a good enough answer for Seth, so he climbed onto his window ceil but looked back to his vampling brother, "I owe you one, hold me to my words darling brother." Mokuba nodded and watched as his brother sprouted wings and flew off into the distance.
OOooOO
Jahi leapt from the balcony of his fourth floor room and landed firmly on his feet. Yunith then made his appearance. "Have you got the invitation Jahi?" The blond patted the pocket of his coat and smiled, "Of course, what do you take me for?" The violet-eyed vampire smirked, "Do you want me to answer that?" Jahi flashed his amber eyes then sprouted his own wings and took flight into the sky followed close behind by Yunith.
Seth gaped at the sheer size of his over lord's castle. It had to be at the very least over 100 feet tall. Before entering the castle the brunette vampire secured his dark blue mask to his face to hide his identity from prying eyes. Jahi and Yunith had done the same when they finally arrived.
Seth looked about the strange crowd Dracula had invited into his home. He should have snuck Mokuba along with him; it was quite lonely, not knowing a single creature that breathed about him. Then a sudden light feeling took over Seth's heart, the feeling of true happiness. Had his life mate been summoned to the party as well? How he hoped it were so.
"Seth Of Moon, there you are my son. Come with me to the second floor we shall stand against the banister and I shall introduce you to my friends." Dracula spoke. The brunette turned to face his lord and bowed his head. "You look dashing my boy, plan on finding a mate here?"
"My heart feels as if they are here, I must look around."
"Come to the balcony, maybe your hearts will immediately connect." Seth smiled at his lord and followed the dark lord up the grand staircase and to the second floor where they stood and talked.
"Wow, Dracula knows a lot of creatures." Yunith spoke loudly to his friend. Jahi just nodded, his heart had become a lightweight since stepping foot into the castle and something within him said to look around and connect with the powerful force clutching at his heart.
"Jahi, are you alright?" Yunith yelled, getting the blonde vampire's attention. "Yes, Yunith. Quite, come let us explore the second floor." The tri-hair colored vampire nodded and followed Jahi up the grand staircase.
Seth had felt a strange energy tug on his heart, he looked away from Dracula and scanned the second floor area with his ever searching eyes. "Seth…are you alright my child?" Dracula asked with a grin displayed upon his lips. "I have to walk around for a bit if you don't mind my lord." The blue-eyed vampire responded, never bringing his eyes back to the dark lord. "Of course child, do enjoy yourself." With that Seth left his spot and began to search for the energy source clinching his heart.
Jahi was also trying to follow the feeling but attempted to listen as Yunith talked about his eventful eve. Not looking where he was going Seth knocked right in to Jahi. "Pardon me." The brunette said while looking to the person he had run into. His gaze was met with Jahi's. For a moment they stood locked in their stare, it was like opposite ends of two magnets meeting. They were drawn to each other. Dracula smiled from afar.
Seth admired the vampire before him; he had golden hair and curious amber eyes. He wore a black dress shirt, dark maroon colored pants, and his knee length coat matched the color of his pants. They said not a word to one another and Yunith was becoming anxious.
"Ahem." His voice came. Jahi left the opposite vampire's eyes to acknowledge his friend. "Yunith can you excuse me for a moment?" The blonde asked while taking Seth's hand and walking away with him. "Hey! Don't leave me here alone! I don't know anyone!"
"I could change that." Yunith stared at the figure before him then let this new vampire take him by the hand.
Seth had led his new friend out onto the vast balcony to escape the meaningless rattle of the party within. Again they said not a word but gazed at each other's reflection in their eyes with help from the full silver moon above. Finally Seth reached out and slipped the blonde's mask off then gently outstretched a hand and touched the bounty of golden hair before him. It was like silk but better. The hand slunk around to the back of the blonde's head and pulled them together so that their lips were only inches apart. It was only then that Jahi realized what he was doing. Though he had become physically and emotionally attracted the other vampire in under five minutes, his body began to shake and his nerves rattled within him. This other being was so close, Jahi had never been like this before, what was he to do? He was startled when the blue-eyed vampire spoke.
"What is your name gorgeous one?" Seth asked with undying calmness while taking his own mask off. "My… name… is Jahi, what may yours be my shadow stalker?" Jahi answered with a visible quake in his voice. The brunette affectionately pushed some bangs out of the shorter vampire's eyes, which made the blonde flinch. "My name is Seth, why do you fear me so?" Jahi managed to pull his head a little ways away from the other vamp; the very sent of Seth was intoxicating him and was mixing up his thoughts. "It's not that I fear you it's more of not knowing who you are. I come to this party only to have my heart stolen by such a beautiful stranger. I've never seen you in my life and here I stand wanting you all to myself. It's odd." Seth smiled nervously suddenly feeling the anxiety of his partner, "Well don't hog all the glory."
"I'm sorry I'm not who you probably thought me to be. I didn't mean to lead you on if I did at all." Jahi alleged while turning from Seth shamefully. "No it was not you at all, maybe I came on too strong for my own good. But you see, for a year now I have had this gripping feeling at my heart that I was to find my life mate and tonight when I crossed your path…electric shocks filled my entire being and the grip on my heart lifted, then I looked into your eyes and was drawn in instantaneously, like a moth to the flame." Seth then caressed the right side of Jahi's beautiful face, drowning in his stunning moonlit eyes.
"You know, I'm not even supposed to be here." Seth said in a low voice to try and make conversation with the vampire before him. He had backed away from Jahi and now had his lower back leaning against the balcony banister. "You're not?" The blonde asked. "Nope, my parents are gonna be furious when they find out where I've been…that is unless I bring home a bride." The brunette said with slight disgust in his tone. "A bride?"
"Yeah, my parents want me to get married. They don't want me anymore. The thing is though, I don't seek a female, I was searching…until you. I know you're the one Jahi."
"Well, I'm glad it comes easy to you…but not so much for me." The blonde said while remembering the hurtful memories of his past. "What do you mean?" The blue-eyed vamp questioned curiously. "There were many times where I thought I found my life mate but soon I was only to be used and hurt. How do I know that you are my one and only? The vampires I thought I was supposed to spend my days with I knew and all too well, now I don't even know you." Jahi explained. "Maybe that's the one factor that will change your luck with love. You knew them, but you don't me. It works both ways Jahi, you're insecure as I stand before you confessing my undying love for you but how do you think I feel? I don't just go up to anybody and say 'Hey, I love you be with me for the rest of my days.' No indeed, you are my angel of darkness. You are my future. My heart is yours, no strings attached." Seth spoke very composed and cool then took one of Jahi's hands and held it affectionately. "I'm not supposed to be here either. My Father won't be happy when he finds me missing."
"Then if we are to be troubled when we get home let's not let our exertion be so in vain." Seth smiled toothily. Jahi found that he liked this vamp before him; he was suave, kind, willing to prove his love, and just so fascinating. And those dark, mysterious blue eyes, Jahi couldn't help but fall for the vampire before him… it was futile. Jahi wanted Seth to be the one finally; he wanted his search to be over when really it hadn't begun. Besides, the brunette was just so striking. "If you really are my love, prove it to me. Prove to me that you won't leave me when the night begins again." Jahi spoke barely above a whisper. Seth turned so his body faced that of the blonde before him. Gently, not to scare the amber-eyed vamp away, Seth snaked his left arm around Jahi's tiny waist and pulled him close. Then, the brunette slowly closed the distance between his and Jahi's lips. For a moment they just lingered together, then Jahi felt a fire spark within his being, it was a kiss meant to be. It was then he knew; Seth was his one. Not long after the kiss had began, Seth became bold and trailed his tongue along Jahi's bottom lip and was surprised when the blonde gave him the entrance he wanted. As their kiss intensified, Seth brought their bodies closer together and felt Jahi's arms lock around his neck. Though they were the undead, their bodies screamed for air. They pulled apart, eyes glazed over and panting softly. Jahi touched Seth's face gently, "My shadow stalker." The brunette smirked, "My dark angel."
Without hesitation, they indulged in another fire filled kiss. Reluctantly, Seth pulled his mouth away from Jahi's and panted for much needed air. The blonde watched Seth's midnight blue-eyes grow darker with lust and need and he was sure that his own eyes were doing the same. Another force, a different force led them back into the castle and up a flight of stairs that led to the third floor. They walked quickly to an open doorway at the very end of the hall and entered the room. Dracula smirked and closed the large oak doors with the flick of his wrists. "You have found each other my children."
Paying no attention to the room around them, Seth just spotted the large bed. It was a four-post bed and was covered in red wine colored pillows and blankets. And hanging from the posts were red wine drapes. The star-crossed lovers made their way over to the inviting piece of furniture. Quickly they tossed their footwear aside and Seth pushed the blonde down to the feather soft mattress and straddled his hips. Jahi reached up and pulled the brunette down into a searing hot kiss. They finally began to make swift work of each other's clothing until there was nothing else to rip off and toss aside.
Seth leaned over the blonde and tore the bedding down. He pulled the comforter to the near foot of the bed and urged Jahi under the red wine sheet. If they were to be caught, Seth didn't want the unwanted guest or guests to get a full view of what he and Jahi were about to part take in.
"Seth…" Jahi whispered softly. "Yes love?"
"Would it be too much to say that I love you?" Seth just simply shook his head. "Of course not my angel of darkness, for I fell in love with you at first sight." The blonde smiled then let Seth dominate his mouth again. Jahi let out a breathy moan when he felt his and his lover's bare arousals come into contact. Seth smiled toothily then began to make his kisses travel down the blonde's neck, to his collarbone where he sucked and nipped at the sensitive flesh, then to his chest. Jahi arched up into Seth's touch when he felt the vampire above him took in one of his nipples. Then the torturous kisses traveled down his stomach and stopped at his navel. The blonde was going to ask the brunette why he'd stopped only to have Seth's tongue enter his navel, Jahi buried his fingers in his lover's hair and moaned and bucked his hips. Seth was very much aware of his lover's painful arousal, for he too had one of his own.
"Please Seth, take me. I want you to claim me and make me yours." Jahi pleaded. Seth smirked and once again placed his mouth over the blonde's but this time pushed a finger into his lover's obviously virgin entrance (Seth is a virgin too). Jahi tore his mouth away from the vampire above and panted painfully. There was a burning sensation in his bottom and it felt awkward to have a finger pulling in and out of him. Then a second digit entered and a strangled cry escaped the blonde's throat. "Shhhh, my love, I only do this to help, not to hurt." Seth soothed while a third finger joined the first two. Before long the blue-eyed vamp brushed a bundle of nerves within the blonde and caused him to arch and cry out Seth's name.
"There now, you will feel nothing but absolute euphoria after this." Seth whispered while pulling his fingers away. Jahi protested the absence then threw his head back as he felt the vamp above him begin to push into him. "Ahh…Seth." The blonde moaned as his hands clawed at Seth's back. It was hard for Seth not to just pull out and slam hard into the body beneath him; Jahi was just so…tight. He steadied himself and took control of his body and buried himself to the hilt.
Jahi looked up to his panting lover and pulled him down into a passionate kiss, giving Seth the okay to move. The brunette complied, quickly pulling out and slamming hard back into the lithe body beneath him. Both he and Jahi shouted to the ceiling.
Collecting his thoughts again, Seth began to control a steady rhythm of strong thrusts into his lover's body. Jahi had now wrapped his legs about Seth's waist and thrust upward to met his lover's pace. "Seth…oh…please…move faster." The blonde begged while clawing at the vampire's back above him. The brunette complied and began to thrust faster, but this time he angled himself and hit that sweet spot within Jahi over and over again, making the blonde moan his name over and over and over again.
"Seth…oh…please." Jahi's moans were begining to get the best of Seth and his thrusts had lost their rhythm and came slamming into his lover until they both hit their highest point and cried out each other's names to the skies. Seth fell panting and exhausted to Jahi's body and cradled his head between the shoulder and head of his equally fatigued lover. The blonde began to massage his lover's head as they settled into the after glow of their lovemaking. Finally catching his breath, Seth pulled out of his lover and placed a gentle kiss on Jahi's right temple then one on his soft lips.
Seth fell onto his back and pulled Jahi to rest his head on his chest. Before resting, Jahi pulled the comforter over their bare bodies, only then did he rest into his lover. "I love you Seth." Seth smiled delicately, "I love you too Jahi, my angel of darkness." And with those words, the lovers fell into a peaceful sleep.
They had felt as if they had known each other forever and yet they had only acknowledged one another for an hour before part taking in a sacred act. They thought they knew each other but knowing each other was far off, but it didn't matter to them. They were star-crossed lovers and were meant to be…but what prices were they willing to pay to have each other? How long would it be before they found out who they were? Time could only tell and she's not spilling a single vowel. It would seem a great abhorrence was about to unfold… could love really stand and conquer all?
Author's Note: Like I said I know it was rushed but star-crossed lovers don't wait for time to tick, Rome and Juliet didn't and Seth and Jahi are the Rome and Juliet of the vampires. I hope you all enjoyed it and please don't report me, I have read so much more graphic on this site, besides, I gave the proper warning at the beginning. Anyway, thank you all so much for reading and don't forget to review!
