A/N: If you saw the sneak peek in the forum, you all will like this chapter. Enjoy.
Rome 1767
Elizabeth had her eyes closed but not because she was asleep. Covering her ears didn't help and now she had a pillow over her head. But once more it didn't help the sounds of Darla and some man having sex, loud sex in the next room. Elizabeth wished she could get up and leave the house but the sun was out.
Enough was enough and Elizabeth threw the pillow off to the side and got out of the bed. She walked to the door, out to the hall and to the door on the left and began to knock. It wasn't a light knocking either; she pounded at the door. The moaning, well for Elizabeth it was the excess moaning that annoyed her, stopped. Elizabeth stood there waiting as she heard some stumbling. Then the door clicked and opened with a man there. But without warning Elizabeth grabbed the man, pulled her to him and she sunk her teeth into his neck. He didn't have a chance to scream and then Elizabeth let him fall to the ground.
She looked up to her sister Darla and Darla looked disappointed and upset. The older blonde then threw her hands up in the air.
"Lizzy?" She asked and Elizabeth wiped some blood off her lips.
"You were faking it anyways." Elizabeth pointed out and Darla folded her arms across her chest.
"Doesn't mean I was done with him." Darla added and Elizabeth stood there. "If you wanted in, I would have shared."
"No, thanks, I'll manage." Elizabeth declined the offer.
"Well, now he's half dead and I'm only half satisfied. And why did you do that?" Darla asked.
"You were loud." Elizabeth answered and started to walk away as the man laid on the floor bleeding to death. Darla didn't get out of the bed. She just sat there a little upset, she was going to feed off of him at some point. Might as well make his last hours on earth worth it.
Elizabeth went back to bed and laid there now that it was quiet. There were a few more hours before the sun would set. So, she laid there and reached for her small gold necklace around her neck and just stared at the ceiling above her. Now, she was wide awake laying there in her own thoughts. Then she heard a thumping noise and knew Darla was rolling the dead body downstairs. Elizabeth just rolled over to ignore it. She still doesn't understand Darla's need for sex. After what their father did that would be the last thing Elizabeth wanted plus after having a one night stand with Markus and then tossed her aside.
Elizabeth and Darla walked the ever shrinking crowds in the night. The shops were closing as the night clocks ticked to midnight. Of course there are parties and these day the sisters knew how to get into the social elite parties without any efforts. Elizabeth passed by a window of porcelain dolls. They were dressed up with matching bonnets. Elizabeth continued to stare at the dolls as they stared back. Darla noticed her little sister was behind her and decided to see what was interesting. Darla then looked at the dolls and then looked to Elizabeth.
"Want one?" Darla asked and Elizabeth cringed a little.
"They are so creepy." Elizabeth stated her feelings towards the rather eerie dolls. Darla looked back at the dolls as if they could see the inner you. The girls stared a little longer and then both jumped swearing one of the dolls' head just moved a little. Is that possible. The two blonde vampires just continued to walk down the street.
"Going to miss Rome." Darla commented as the two walked together. They've been in Rome for a while but it was time to pick another location. They might steal something before they go. "Where to next?" She asked her little sister. Elizabeth didn't say anything as she watched a young couple wrapped up in each others arms laughing as they walked. Darla noticed that Elizabeth was staring. "What?" She asked. Again Elizabeth didn't answer. Darla wasn't going to press the issue at the moment. "Where to next?"
"Maybe back to France." Elizabeth suggested and Darla sighed a little. "What? You don't like France?"
"I do but there are other places." Darla suggested the two sisters continued to walk. They have yet to leave Europe and Darla wanted to try a new place for once. As the girls walked Elizabeth watched the couple pass them. Darla knew something was on her little sister's mind. "Love, it's a beautiful thing." But Elizabeth looked in front of her and moved on.
"Explains why you aren't married and became a whore." Elizabeth shot back and Darla smiled.
"Too many men out there Lizzy, can't just have one." Darla explained. "You had sex once, maybe it was bad. But you can have a little fun." Darla then rushing in front of Elizabeth; picked up her dressed and walked backwards. "We're animals Lizzy and animals have sex. The beauty is we can't reproduce, we can have what we want and then leave." Darla went on. "You need to get rid of some of that tension." Elizabeth then stood there.
"I'm fine." Elizabeth insisted and Darla stood there.
"He really messed you up." Darla's voice dropped a little but who did she mean messed Elizabeth up, their father or Markus? Elizabeth didn't say anything as she stood there. "You can have any man." Again Elizabeth didn't say much. Sex didn't give her a rush it was torture, to punish some one gave her a rush. She then turned around seeing the couple walking into the night. Darla knew the man and woman caused something in her sister. In a flash Elizabeth was gone.
The young man and woman were laughing about something but stopped dead in their tracks as woman was before them.
"Can, can we help you Miss?" The man asked and Elizabeth stared at them not moving. "Miss?" Elizabeth then smiled.
The man and the woman were tied up and gaged in their own home. Darla was looking for anything that could have value while Elizabeth sat in front of the couple looking at them. The woman was in tears while the man sat there looking at Elizabeth trying to figure out how to get out. Darla then came to the living room with nothing. The couple was not rich and were typical citizens. Elizabeth then got up from her chair and walked to the man. She picked up her dress to straddle the man. His wife looked away in disgust.
Elizabeth didn't say anything as she ran her hand up and down his cheek. The man was breathing heavily not knowing what was happening. Elizabeth then placed both hands on his cheeks looking into his eyes. She could see fear in them. She then got off the man and walked to his wife and without any kind of demands or warnings she grabbed her head, twisted it and snapped her neck. That's when Darla saw it, the lust. Her high came in death. It came in the form of controlling a life to the point of death.
The man tried to scream and yell at Elizabeth as his wife's head fell limp. Then with a quick and powerful motion Elizabeth kicked the chair away and the man went silent seeing Elizabeth's power. The younger blonde vampire walked back to the man and she leaned in so they were eye to eye.
"What are you going to do?" She asked as the man looked to her. "She's dead, what are you going to do?" Once more the man remained silent and Elizabeth smiled and morphed into her vampire form. "You can't even scream." The man's eyes went big and he tried to scream through the towel in and around his mouth. Elizabeth grabbed his hair violently, yanking his head to one side and pierced his neck with her fangs. She began to drink but only for a moment. She let up and then forced the man to look up so she would be the last thing he'd ever see. She then snapped his neck.
Darla didn't say anything or do anything as Elizabeth looked to her. Elizabeth then kicked the dead man's chair and it fell.
"Let's get out of Rome." Elizabeth insisted as she walked away and her human features returned. Darla looked at the two bodies. Elizabeth didn't do anything to them not physically. What she did was worse than physical. She killed the wife in front of her husband as he could not do anything. And then she killed him. The couple could not say or do anything for each other; they died in complete fear.
The sisters were now at a local bar sitting at a small table together. As they sipped on some alcohol a man approached them.
"Ladies," The man started and Darla stood up meaning she was going to go with him. Elizabeth got to have her fun so it was time for hers. The sisters didn't have to anything to each other as Darla walked off into the night with a man. Elizabeth continued to sit there alone. She looked at her glass of red wine and then looked back up to a group of men looking at her. She then let a small grin slide across her face. She downed the wine glass, stood up and walked to the group of men. They were all smiles and grins thinking they were going to get lucky.
"You boys look bored." Elizabeth looked to the five of them and they all nodded. "Maybe I can fix that."
"You have no idea what you're in for." One man spoke up and Elizabeth smiled.
"Neither do you." Elizabeth smiled back.
Elizabeth downed the last bit of liquor from the bottom of the bottle and slammed the empty bottle on the counter. She was alone now in the bar. Everyone around her was dead except one lonely man huddled in the corner whimpering like a young child beaten and battered as he would be the last to die. Elizabeth felt that wave of euphoria, the alcohol and the death infusing together. Elizabeth looked to the last man alive laying on the floor. Her vampire face was yet to be relieved so as far as the man knew she was just a girl, a very disturbed, crazy and strong girl. Elizabeth then smiled at him and stood up.
The man's breathing became heavy knowing something was about to happen to him as Elizabeth bent over and grabbed him by his collar and slammed him on the counter top. He then saw the face of the demon but he had no will to scream out loud. Elizabeth sunk her teeth into his neck and fed. She bled him dry and looked around at what she caused.
She killed a total of ten people in the bar and smiled. The rush, the high was on a whole new level. She jumped on the bar started to kick the remaining glasses and bottles away. She was going to wreck the place before leaving. For her alcohol was part of her pain years ago. It turned the nicest gentlemen into pigs, well now she was going to show men and alcohol who was boss. She then picked up another bottle and saw a book of matches. She slammed the bottle on the countertop and it shattered leaving the clear liquid behind. She then struck the match and let it drop and it ignited the alcohol.
Elizabeth stepped back from the flames and knew it would need more fuel soon. She jumped off the countertop to the wall of liquor and started to knock the bottles over. But she grabbed one bottle and opened it and sniffed it. It smelt like it could burn the place down all on it's own. Instead she took a sip and smiled. She took another sip of the drink as she walked out of the soon to be burning bar.
Darla came walking down the street seeing Elizabeth standing in the street and smoke coming from somewhere. Darla picked up her pace and stood next to her sister seeing the bar she left maybe an hour or so ago was now in flames.
"What did you do?" Darla asked and she looked to her sister and Elizabeth smiled.
"I had a drink." Elizabeth answered and brought the bottle to her lips taking another sip. She watched the flames get bigger as Darla looked to the building knowing if there were bodies in there they would be ash by morning. Elizabeth looked to the bottle of alcohol and then with all her strength she threw it at the building. As soon as it hit the heat it popped and burst into flames adding more fuel.
The fire was gathering attention to others and Darla looked around. She got closer to Elizabeth as she stood there watching the fire.
"We should go." Darla whispered angrily.
"We should, Rome is boring." Elizabeth agreed and started to walk away and didn't even stumble. As she walked away a man grabbed her.
"What happened?" He demanded and Elizabeth grabbed the man's hand and his face began to twitch in pain. He took a step back knowing he should mind his own business for the moment. Elizabeth continued to walk away and Darla followed. Whatever happened here there was nothing Darla could do. Maybe Elizabeth was bored and they needed to find some friends.
1757
A man barely in his twenties wept alone standing over a fresh grave. The headstone read Annabelle Tasse. The man and the woman now in the ground had been married a mere six months and one night he found her dead. When he found her she was pale as if she had been dead for days. She had been exsanguinated but there was no blood to be found. He stood there alone and held a golden heart shaped locket in his hands. He opened the locket and in it was a picture of both of them. He wanted to know how she died. Someone had to have killed her but who and why?
James Tasse left the resting site of his still new bride. They were planning on starting a family of their own soon. He wanted a big family with her. Now he sat on his bed alone. The side next to him was going to be empty. He still held the locket in his hand and then brought both hands to his face trying to hold back the tears. What was going to happen now? He then fell back to his bed and just laid there. What was he going to do without his Annabelle?
James rolled over in a restless sleep. He hasn't slept in nearly five days. He's barely eaten and drowned his sorrows one bottle at a time. He looked to the window as the moonlight's crept in. Maybe he should just end it. But something caught his eye from the window and he sat up. In the night he saw someone. James got up fast and rushed to the window and opened it.
Annabelle was there. She was in her white dress he buried her in. Her golden curly hair cascaded around her shoulders; she looked the same as ever.
"Anna," James gasped as Annabelle walked in.
"It's me James, I'm here." Her soft sweet voice spoke to him and tears flooded his eyes. He then reached out and hugged her and she held him. "Until death do us part." She whispered. He should ask how she is here and if this was a dream but he looked at her and kissed her and she accepted. It was a hungry kiss and then he hugged her again. "Come with me James." He nodded but he wasn't sure what he was nodding to. They pulled away for a moment and looked at each others eyes, his brown and her green. "Close your eyes my love." And he did as she morphed into a vampire and was going to take her lover.
Present Day 1767
Annabelle tossed James some coins and the two were going to head out. As they started to run they saw some soldiers' shadows heading their way. They began to back track and knew they would have to get out some how. The two started to make a run for it not knowing how far they would get.
Up on the roof tops Darla watched the young couple running and she smiled. Since arriving to Marseille she has heard about to night thieves. Of course when a myth starts about thieves most just pass it up. But what made Darla interested in these two was if they killed their pursuers they left some marks on them more so on the neck.
The couple raced down the street hoping to keep the coins and get away. They turned a corner and looked up knowing they could scale the wall. James took the bag of coins and put it in his tunic and grabbed Annabelle's hand and they started to run to the wall.
The couple made it to the roof knowing they were safe up here for the moment and they giggled at one another. James grabbed Annabelle's cheeks and kissed her forehead. James took the small sack of coins out of his tunic and opened it up and looked in. They had plenty to buy with as Annabelle took a coin out looking at it.
"How adorable," A voice spoke up and the couple looked over seeing a woman dressed in white dress with floral patterns and wide brimmed hat that had lace string tied under her chin. This was high fashion and the young couple were more in second class clothing. But the couple did not run from the woman, they could sense that they has a mutual connection. "I've been watching you two for a few nights, thieves?" She asked.
"Just looking to get by." James answered and the blonde woman smiled.
"My name is Darla." The woman introduced herself.
"I'm James and this is my wife Annabelle." James responded and Darla smiled. "You're…you're one of us." James stated and Darla nodded.
"You haven't come across one before?" Darla asked. Vampires are out there but once they start to congregate then attention is drawn. The young couple shook their heads no. But then the name Darla sounded familiar to Annabelle and she took a step forwards.
"Darla?" She asked and Darla nodded. There was another name though. Maybe it was just a whisper because Darla was the only one there. "I thought there was two of you." It was true though. The two blonde vampires were becoming a whisper these days.
"Come with me." Darla insisted and the young couple followed her without any hesitation.
As the three headed down the streets together James and Annabelle were still cautious at the moment. They have been together for the last ten years and it was just the two of them. But then again the two blonde vampires have been together nearly twenty years. Darla led them up a few steps to an inn and they followed her to a room. The three vampires gathered in and the couple saw another woman sitting at a little table with her back to them.
Darla was dressed in a rich woman's clothes but the other woman was dressed a little different. The dress that stretches out to show off the figure of the woman was taken in. It didn't define her figure like Darla's dress or even Annabelle's dress. Hers was a little more simple but the clothe looked rich of silk and the corset hugged her and the bodice of the corset was of lace. And the color spoke for itself. Darla in white and gold and this woman in deep hues of red. The woman stood up and unlike Darla this woman didn't wear a hat with a lace chin fasten. Her hair fell rather loosely around her face. She wore a golden pendant and James was rather captivated by her beauty. She had green eyes like Annabelle but hers had a fierceness in them.
Annabelle could see a twinkle in James' eyes but it was just a flicker. This woman had that magic on men. She could spark an interested in any man.
"This is my sister Elizabeth." Darla introduced and the whispers were becoming a little true. "Lizzy, James and Annabelle." Elizabeth walked to the couple and looked to James. He was short for a man, skinny too. She barely had to look up at him. If she was ever going to go for a man he had to be tall, he had to have strength in him. James held none of that. She then looked to the young blonde and it was the locket that she took noticed.
Without any permission Elizabeth reached for the locket and held it. She opened it with one hand seeing the black and white picture of the two. Both of them in the pictures had a smile.
"I could never do that." Elizabeth spoke and looked to the couple. "I could never hold a smile." For some reason that made the couple a little nervous and they didn't know why.
"Lizzy," Darla wanted to talk to her. Elizabeth closed the locket and followed her sister off to the side. "I know this isn't your cup of tea." On they way from Rome the two discussed about having some tagalongs. While gaining too many is bad unless you stay under the earth like most vampires do, a few friends can't hurt. "But we need more eyes to watch us if you're deciding to keep walking the earth." The sisters have been above ground for almost 20 years. That draws attention from not just the slayer but from others.
"We've made it this far…without anyone." Elizabeth pointed out. She didn't like this at all. She doesn't know these people.
"Well, if you keep burning something in every town that's a sign that says come get us. Two extra set of eyes," Darla laid out her case. "There are lots of vampires out there but we need help. You want to spread your…legend?" Darla asked. "You want to bring the vampires out of the shadows, then we need help." Elizabeth then looked at the couple, judging them.
"Not these two." Elizabeth somewhat agreed what Darla was saying. But these two, there has to be better out there.
"One week," Darla asked of her sister. "Let's give them a week, see what they can do. If it doesn't work, we ditch them." Elizabeth looked at Darla knowing her sister was begging without actually begging. For a while now Darla wanted another vampire to be with the group. She rather it be a man so he could be part time protector and part time toy. Elizabeth as of now would stand in the sun first before letting a man travel with them. Elizabeth didn't say anything and walked away. James and Annabelle had one week to prove their worth and loyalty.
A huge estate was before the four vampires. While Darla and Elizabeth have wealth it was still fun to steal and use other people's money for their own gain. They did that to show power. Now this young vampire couple stole to pay for whatever they need but they do not live as Darla and Elizabeth do. If anything they are like the poor on the streets, scrounging for a morsel. Elizabeth has yet to see a vampire live in such ways. That was one point why Elizabeth did not like them. They have been vampires for a while yet they have not mastered what means to be a vampire.
She also didn't like them because in the last two days that they have been around they were more into themselves. Darla and Elizabeth had plans to travel, to rule, to take what they wanted. James and Annabelle had nothing like that. It was all about them.
Darla, however, has grown a little tired of it just being her and her sister. It feels like the same day or in their case night playing over and over again. She wanted someone extra company, someone like her. James and Annabelle appear to have something to prove. So this little assignment was to see what they could do. Could the four ban together and make it in this world?
"The mayor's estate." Darla announced as the sun had set just an hour ago.
"He's compensating for something." Elizabeth pointed out as the house was massive. Annabelle smiled a little as she and James held hands. "Vampires steal and move on."
"Well, we should." Darla added meaning while the sisters steal Elizabeth tends to leave a signature of death behind. "A big place like that has some good money." Darla continued on. "You two go in, take that or whatever else looks valuable." Darla looked at the couple. "Usually a drink is nice but maybe another time."
"Sounds like a deal." James accepted the deal. Elizabeth didn't say anything.
"Just you two, we've done this many times." Darla added and the couple looked to each other and agreed. "You have until dawn." The vampire couple took off as Elizabeth and Darla now waited. Darla looked to the younger blonde vampire and knew Elizabeth was not having any of this. "One chance," Darla begged. "They fail, we ditch them."
Elizabeth turned back to the huge mansion and the vampire couple disappeared into the night. She wanted them to fail and even to a degree if they did succeed she was going to walk away from them. If they wanted a group, a squad, whatever you wanted to call it, Annabelle and James were not it.
The vampire couple were now on the backside of the mansion looking around. Some lights were coming from some windows; others were dark for the night. But how to get in? They could just knock. Annabelle then tapped James' shoulder and then she pointed to an open window. It wouldn't be too much of a jump for any typical vampire but these two started to scale the wall of the estate. The couple have yet to really master any skills as vampires. They liked being with each other and rather keep to themselves. Not all vampires go around maiming and killing.
James got into the window well, just the outside of it. They haven't been invited in, this was someone's home.
"James!" Annabelle whispered loudly wondering what was happening. James looked down towards Annabelle and completely forgot a rule; you need to be invited.
Elizabeth and Darla waited outside and so far nothing. Elizabeth didn't like this, it was taking too long to grab something valuable. So, when something needs to get done, do it yourself. Elizabeth started to walk and Darla followed. Elizabeth walked right up to the front door and knocked. It took a moment and a butler type man open the door.
"Hello," Elizabeth greeted sweetly but now what.
"This is a private gala, do you have an invitation?" The man asked the two blondes.
"We received one but stupid us can't find it." Darla answered and the butler continued to stare at them. The girls were dressed in some nicer clothes but nothing for a dinner and a ball.
"An invitation is needed madam." The butler was stern about this. Elizabeth could just bite the guy but there was too much commotion behind him that it would cause a stir, not that she would care. Elizabeth then pushed her way closer to the man. She was small in size but her presence was far bigger than you would think.
"At least let me see the mayor and give him my dues to the state." Elizabeth insisted and then the butler nodded. Money always wins. The butler stepped aside and the girls walked in. The dinner would be starting soon and the vampires had to be quick even though this place was huge and it looked like each room had a chandler with diamonds and crystal hanging from them.
Elizabeth looked up to the grand staircase and knew that James and Annabelle were upstairs. The personal string quartet was playing their music as the dinner party was about to head into the dinning room. Elizabeth looked around seeing the rich elites drinking their champagne, dazzling beads around the women, shining and clean cufflinks on the men. Darla watched as Elizabeth headed for the stairs and usually at a party like this, the upper levels were off limits. Just then the two sisters heard someone tapping on a champagne glass.
The butler could be seen weaving through the crowds and got to the grand staircase and walked up a few steps and turned around facing the crowds.
"Dinner will be served momentarily so if you will ladies and gentlemen please make your way to the dinning room shortly." The butler informed the guests. The music that went soft started to get a little louder again. Some of the people went ahead to grab a seat. With the movement now was the time for the vampire sisters to make their way up to the room.
As Elizabeth looked around to see who could be watching. But as she gazed a man was looking to her. It was an older man and by his uniform and medals he was wearing were of importance. His hair was slicked back, he had a rather strong jawline, his built suggested he muscular not scrawny. His features were delicate but he has seen some turbulence in his time. Darla could tell he was fixed on Elizabeth. He began to make his way to her as Darla smiled.
"Good evening madam." The man started as Elizabeth looked to the man and Darla went to stand at her sister's side. "My name is Charles Chaput," He introduced himself and Darla smiled.
"The mayor's son?" Darla asked and the man nodded.
"The dance portion of the evening is not until after dinner but I would like to ask you for a quick dance madam. I can see you aren't staying long." Charles continued to look to Elizabeth. Darla could pick up the resistance but Darla was going to take this as an opportunity. She then leaned into Elizabeth's ear and was whispering. The mayor's son then looked to the small string section and nodded meaning for them change to something more dance appropriate. Then Charles held out his hand to Elizabeth. She reluctantly placed her hand into his. Some of the guest backed away to give the dancers some space.
Darla watched in some happiness but in some worry. The girls never learned how to dance. And this man was a soldier and the son of the mayor; his up bringing was superior to some. Charles then placed one arm around Elizabeth's waist while she placed her free hand on his shoulder. Then in surprising harmony for Darla the two started to dance. Darla watched her little sister follow in perfect suit and was curious to know how she could dance. In fact Darla wanted to keep watching her sister dance but it was time to find James and Annabelle. Darla started to slowly leave the crowds seeing her sister had their attention.
Darla made her way up the stairs keeping an eye on the people. There were people upstairs coming and going as some rooms were open mostly in viewing of art and sculptor. Darla looked down two long hallways and wonder which she should take.
Outside the window James and Annabelle stood on the ground knowing there was only one way in and that's the front door. But a place would not let two people in like them. Even if they were humans they were in a lower class, they wouldn't even be allowed in even for a drink of water.
In the main room the dance ended and everyone clapped. Elizabeth still stood before Charles as he smiled.
"Thank you," He paused not realizing her name.
"Elizabeth," Elizabeth answered and he nodded.
"Beautiful name, it suites you." He commented and Elizabeth stood there. "I have yet to meet a lady that could dance like you." Elizabeth didn't know if that was true or if he was trying to angle at something else. But another plot was forming Elizabeth's head; James, Darla and Annabelle could ransack this place easily and she could provide some distractions. "Do you like to read?"
"You are not shy at all are you?" Elizabeth decided to play along with this.
"I take that as a yes, I have a talent to read people." Charles went on and held out his arm and Elizabeth took it.
Upstairs Darla opened a door to a room seeing it was empty but the window was open. She walked to the window and looked out then just a few windows down she saw two shadows. She knew who they were and started down the hall. She got into another room and ran to the window and then saw the couple down below.
"What are you doing?" Darla called out in a loud whisper. The couple then looked up seeing Darla and the two vampires started to climb up the side of the wall. "You know you can clear this window with a jump, now come in." That allowed for the vampires to slip in. "We have a lot to teach you guys."
Downstairs Charles opened up two wooden doors and Elizabeth walked through and it was a library. The young blonde looked around seeing books upon books. Charles then shut the door quietly behind him as Elizabeth walked around.
"You can take one," Charles insisted and Elizabeth looked to him.
"You really are upfront." Elizabeth added and Charles smiled a little. Elizabeth then walked over to a section of books and started to browse a little. She could feel Charles getting closer to her as she grabbed a book.
"Utopia," Charles read the title and Elizabeth nodded. "When you read it, it'll never happen." He added and Elizabeth put on a fake smile. "You can dance and you read philosophy, I don't think I've ever met a woman like you." Elizabeth's smile then turned into a more seductive grin.
"No, you have never met a woman like me." Elizabeth insisted. She then set the book down as Charles got closer to her. There was something inside of her brewing and it wasn't rage. It was a different fire in her like she was suppressing something else, a natural drive that all people felt. Charles then reached out to her face looking into her green eyes; he's never seen such green eyes. His finger tips touched Elizabeth's face and he just wanted to feel her skin that he could only imagine felt like silk.
For Elizabeth, Charles was a rather handsome man. Most of the men she has now come across were old, fat, worn, drunk and mean. Markus was one of the best she has seen. Well, now Charles could be added to the list. Maybe that was her weakness, beautiful men, strong and chocolate brown eyes. Charles got closer to her and by now women would start to giggle and act coy about this. But Elizabeth didn't, her eyes were serious, her posture unchanging. Charles leaned in and kissed her. It was gentle at first but Elizabeth wrapped her arms around him pulling him closure. Charles got closure her and then pulled away.
Elizabeth continued to stare at him seeing that he seemed a little scared. Most men were not, they went for it and that set off a trigger for Elizabeth to feed. But like with Markus, the steadiness set of a trigger but a different kind. Elizabeth then leaned in for another kiss and Charles complied.
Back upstairs the vampires search for valuables of kind. They would have to look into locked rooms to find anything so they started to jiggle some handles to see what each door had to hide. James came to a locked door but with a good push it opened. The three looked around the dark room as it was a bedroom. They quickly looked around for a possible safe or keys to a safe.
Down in the huge study Charles picked up Elizabeth and set her down on a table still holding her. He just knew she was different in some way. Elizabeth wrapped her legs around his wait pulling him closer indicating she wanted something. Their kisses were getting heated and it was going to spill into something else soon.
The three vampires couldn't find anything in that room so they moved on but before they could leave two people in a military type uniforms stood before them. They have been caught and would be thrown out or arrested.
Downstairs the party started to head to the dinning room as the Mayor Chaput came into the scene. He looked at his guest but was looking for his son as he waited but greeted each guest that came up to him.
"Mayor Chaput," A voice called out and the mayor looked up seeing his guards with three people. The guards escorted the three people downstairs and stood before the mayor. "Found them upstairs, arrest them?" They asked. The mayor looked at the three people seeing that they must be poor looking for something to eat, steal something to sell to get something to eat.
"No," The mayor wasn't going to have them arrested. "Give them scraps from the kitchen and send them out." They mayor was being generous. "Find my son, dinner is almost ready." Darla then looked around knowing Elizabeth was with the son. She peered into the dinning room seeing if somehow Elizabeth was in there but she was nowhere in site.
In the study Elizabeth and Charles were in a heated lovemaking session. Elizabeth felt as if the rage inside her was suppressed, the anger animal was being satisfied for a moment. Just like with Markus, this was different from anything else. Elizabeth looked into Charles' eyes and just as fast as it started it was over but a wave of euphoria hit Elizabeth. Just like with Markus there was a wash of satisfaction and even gratification.
Elizabeth sat up a little to regain herself and Charles was getting himself back together. It wasn't too awkward at the moment either but Elizabeth needed to leave. She hurried off the table and Charles grabbed her gently.
"Dinner will be ready soon, sit with me." The man offered and Elizabeth stood before him.
"No," She was stern and that threw off Charles. "I must go." Elizabeth went to step away but Charles stepped closer to her.
"Don't forget your book." Charles looked to the small paper book that sat on the shelf. Just then both of them jumped as the doors opened.
"Mister Chaput, dinner is waiting." The butler started and then his eyes narrowed to Elizabeth. "You and your friends are being escorted off the property." That threw a red flag up for Elizabeth and it left Charles a little confused. Elizabeth walked out of the room and Charles went to follow but before he left he grabbed the book and then left the study.
Elizabeth stepped outside of the of the study and saw Darla, James and Annabelle standing there. That pit of rage that was gone was starting to return. She knew that these two should have never been brought here. Charles came out from the study and only recognize Darla and looked to Elizabeth.
"Now, get rid of them." The mayor ordered but instead of being quietly James pushed a guard out of the way.
"You don't touch us." James started and that causes a commotion. "You have no idea who we are, what we can do." He went on. The four vampires were not in any threat but a threat was about to happen. Yes, Darla and Elizabeth sometimes causes threats just to do so but tonight there were a lot of people and this was going to go side ways fast. Elizabeth knew what James was going to do and he wanted to show the people who they were. He morphed into his vampire form and Annabelle followed.
The people started to scream as James and Annabelle started to terrorized them. Just then one guard held up a gun and shot at them but with lightening speed Elizabeth grabbed the guard and twisted his neck. The guests started to run but the other three vampires started to attack and feed. Annabelle then ran to a corner where there were a dozen candles all arranged in a beautiful line. She knocked them over letting them catch fire to anything they touch.
Other guards that were around went to take out the four vampires but bullets don't do anything. The guests that were not under attack ran out. Elizabeth looked to James and Annabelle as they attached everyone they could, making a mess knowing it was time to leave them. Elizabeth found Darla's gaze and without words the blonde sisters started to leave.
Charles saw them leaving and ran after them. He didn't know why but he felt like that he needed answers. He reached for Elizabeth and she turned around and she had her vampire face on. Charles' eyes went big in fear. Elizabeth then started to walk to him and he took steps away. Elizabeth then reach out and grabbed his neck pulling him to her.
"What…what…what are you?" He asked as he fought for air and Elizabeth gave that seductive grin. She then forced him down so he was on his knees. That same euphoria and ecstasy that he gave her back on the table was returning again. Seeing a man kneeling before her gave this great feeling of power. As he was now on his knees and his eyes started to water in fear. Elizabeth leaned into his ear.
"I'm going to be a god some day." She whispered to him. She let go of his neck as he looked up at her. She then leaned forward and grabbed the book looking at it and then turned her now fiery yellow gaze back to him. With one foot she pushed him backwards and now he was sitting on the ground. Elizabeth then joined up with the other three vampires as the flames were starting to gain momentum. Charles just sat on the ground as he watched Elizabeth leave and he was in shock.
The four vampires were back on the streets of Marseille walking in the cool night. Word would soon be all over the streets but for now it was time to enjoy the night. As they two blonde vampires walked side by side they also watched the vampire couple in front of them laughing. As Darla watched she could see now why Elizabeth was resistant to this.
For Elizabeth and Darla it kind of makes them gag a little seeing the lovey dovey couples. But vampire couples can be different. Most vampire couples mate for life if they are in love. Vampires themselves can have free reign and sex just look at Elizabeth and Darla but vampire soul mates can happen. It's rare to fine and the love is eternal and if one dies the other will live alone in torment. Elizabeth hoped she never found love ever.
This vampire couple has been around about ten years prior to Elizabeth's turning. But Elizabeth got out more this couple seemed to enjoy just being with each other and would feed when they want to. For them it was just about the want to eat never the lust for the kill. Right now the couple was swooning over each other.
"I would need a thousand words to describe the color of your eyes." The male vampire said to his lover.
"They're green," Elizabeth summed that up pretty quickly and Darla smiled.
"Baby sister it's young love humor them." Darla then wrapped her arm around Elizabeth's as they walked together. "I know what you need."
"What?" Elizabeth asked.
"A good warm meal." Darla answered and Elizabeth shrugged.
"Well we need to get out of town because these two love sick birds burned down the mayor's estate and that's a sign for the slayer to say come shoot me." Elizabeth was annoyed with them.
"Lizzy they were just having fun." Darla wanted to keep the couple and form a group.
"Fun my ass," Elizabeth stopped walking and looked to the couple as they danced in the streets smiling. "They'll get us killed."
"You think there's a slayer here?" Darla asked and Elizabeth nodded. "Live bait?" And Elizabeth smiled meaning yes. Elizabeth wasn't always kind to her own kind. "New plan Annabelle and James." Darla looked to the couple. "We need to head to the docks so Lizzy and I will meet you there." The couple nodded smiling and Elizabeth saw the gold locket around Annabelle's neck. But as Darla looked to Elizabeth something was different. "After that dance with the mayor's son you seem…different you didn't even kill him."
Elizabeth was still in a state of feeling great. Was it the sex? Or was it the power she held over him. He had the look of death in his eyes as was on his knees before her. She held power over a man of military status. She bent him to her will, she could make him do what she wanted. It was that power that made her feel this way. The power before death, she could be god, give and take life when she pleases. But first to keep feeling this power they needed to get rid of two waited stones.
The next night came around and from a distance Elizabeth and Darla watched. In the shadows a dark figured moved quickly. James and Annabelle were in the inn by themselves. Elizabeth and Darla left quietly before they were awake and all last night they gave the slayer that was following them signs to this inn. This would throw the slayer off of them for a bit.
Elizabeth then started to walk away to the carriage as it was time to leave Europe for a while. Darla wasn't sure if she wanted to see the outcome but she followed Elizabeth anyways. That was becoming more apparent now, following instead of leading. In the beginning Darla led but in the last few years Elizabeth started to take the helm. Last night was an example. She didn't kill anyone but others did, she just stood there in the glory of it all. She even had a man of high status pleasure her and then wept at her knees. With each passing day and year it was becoming more and more of Elizabeth's world; Darla was just living it. And after casting out two vampires, two of their kind, sentencing them to death, Elizabeth was becoming more than just a vampire.
Heavy angst in your heart, like cinderblocks crushing your chair.
It's a prison break escape from the dark,
Can't get it out of your head.
Oh, oh, oh,
This is my world,
Oh, you took the wrong turn.
Now you're stuck in my world.
Trust me this is gonna hurt.
Fire it up and watch it burn.
This is my world.
Can you feel it coming around?
Daylight's turning into the night,
Locked up for the rest of your life.
Step it up, get ready to fight.
Oh, oh, oh,
This is my world,
Oh, you took the wrong turn.
Now you're stuck in my world.
Trust me this is gonna hurt.
Fire it up and watch it burn.
This is my world.
This is my world.
This is my world.
My world,
Oh, you took a wrong turn.
Now you're stuck in my world.
Trust me this is gonna hurt.
Fire it up and watch it burn.
This is my world.

Chapter 7 The Slayer
Elizabeth then started to take off her jacket and that confused the men. Elizabeth was wearing a heavy overcoat and if she was going to fight and feed she needed to be able to move. Her coat felt to the ground and she stood there waiting for their move.
The two men started to fan out a little uncertain of what was happening. Elizabeth continued to stand there. One man got closer and went to lunge forwards but Elizabeth caught his hand, pulled him closer all the while breaking his arm and held him hostage. The second man stood there with wide eyes. His partner was screaming in pain and you different have to understand Russian to know what he was screaming about. Elizabeth broke his arm further and the second man took off running.
The man in Elizabeth's grip was trying to save himself and tried to pull away but it was useless. Elizabeth then grabbed his neck as his screams turned into whimpers and Elizabeth smiled. She twisted his neck in one direction and hearing the snap was music. The man's body fell to the ground and Elizabeth knelt to the ground to grab her coat and placed back on and continued to walk away.
