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.

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.
