A/N: This, is what I actually wanted to write for the prompt. I'm sorry it took so long to get this out, and it turned out to be crap. I warn you, the rhyming scheme, and p.o.v. goes everywhere. It's gone past abstract.

This is what happens when I stop writing for a long time. :P

My heartfelt thanks to all those reviewers and watchers who encouraged me. I couldn't have worked up the will without your help.

Shinichi Kudos to anyone who actually understands this. :3

"I wish for an umbrella," she murmured to her brother. "The sun is hotter than I thought and brighter than it should be."

He gently brushed a strand of hair from her face that had gotten free. He bowed his head and sweetly said, "Then shade for you I'll be."


She is my ever shining candle in the darkness of my despair.

Two long decades ago

When armorless knights in arms

Stood side by side

Protecting the day's innocence from the night

From there he watched her as she sighed

As the lord of the night walked by

--

He knew that there was no more room

In the warm home called her heart

Yet his chest still ached

with a hunger so great

to finish what had no start

--

Her shining smiles were not for him

her charity undeserved

by something as low a level as he

It is just as well as a level E

vampire would be named Zero

--

And so his anger was misdirected

Or was it misdirected so?

For in his most secret of secret intentions

Was for his secret love to go

--

But how much of a secret was it

If he gave her one last kiss?

Their last kiss, which was their first

Would surely not be much to miss

Too bad his chest still hurts.

There is a story of a lady

Who lives inside a mansion

Though a more accurate representation

Would be to call it a prison

--

It seemed as if she suffered from

A sickness or some other

Which caused her to be restlessly

Getting in trouble recklessly

And caused a great deal of pain to her brother

--

Well what was the lord of the night to do

When all he could offer was his love

Though to his little sister

It didn't seem to be enough.

Tick tock

Goes the clock

What is time to one who lives forever?

--

She turns towards the curtained window

And drops her pen on blank paper

Her footsteps tap quietly

Towards the see-through glass

Such lonely footsteps

--

The vestiges of sleep eating away at her will

It's 10 o' clock in the morning

She should have been asleep hours ago

But her eyes were itching for something to see

--

Her hand throws the heavy curtain open

And she is immediately blinded

Her head pulses with pain

--

The immediate response is to shut her eyes

And run far

So far away

But she's still breathing

--

So she strains her eyes against the light

A flash of silver, did she see?

It must be her imagination

But then it clicked inside her mind

--

On the dawn of realization

That perhaps what a knight had said

About what she had meant to him

Was actually the other way around.

"I want to go outside," she said. Her blond butler replies, "Why, may I ask? Whatever for?"

"To stretch these dusty limbs and be able to worry about skin cancer."

"..." He said.

She smiles at him sunnily

Laughing at the irony

And flinches when he picks up

An umbrella on their way to the door

--

One step toward the light

Is immediately swallowed up by the umbrella's shade

Drearily she notes how the underside

Resembles a bat's bony wing

--

She attempts to blink her tiredness away

The unbearable heat seeps through her every pore

She takes one last glance inside the prison

Knowing she'll never see it anymore.

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

-

Eyes glance in her direction

Shocked and suspicious

Hunters crowding in to gaze

At the vampire in their midst

--

But she has played this silly game

For two decades long

The seasoned player tips them a smile

Butler trailing behind, humming a cheery song

--

A building towers over ahead

Fit for a king of knights

She pushes the bat's wings away from her head

And to the butler's shock, runs into the light.


End.

I hope you enjoyed reading this crap.
