You've failed

He tells her, you failed in the street you know

Yes she know this

It was her chance to end this torture once and for all

To give back his soul

But she blew it, and now here they are, in this strange stalemate in and unfamiliar room

And she is...

.....confused

What does he want with her? If he was so intent on hiding from her

Why is she now holed up in this room?

With he as her jailer

He is puzzlingly polite to her but stern, firm with a sharp aggressive edge to his voice

And he freaks her out

For he is a strigoi

An evil vampire of the night

He is a murderer

And yet he talks to her with a familiarity

Of closeness they once shared

But that now no longer exists

It's disconcerting

Him courteously offering food and comfort

While those crimson eyes seem to dig into her soul

And thos e cruel lips

Seem to sneer

Does he have any feeling left for her at all

Deep inside his now frozen heart

Does the memory of their passionate romance

Still beat

She hopes...

Or is it all in vain

He tells her of Galina, his mentor, who allowes him to keep her captor here

And a sliver of jealousy rises inside her like an acid green snake

She finds out she is inside a mansion, full of the dead

That she is far from any human city

And that there is hardly a glimmer of hope for escape

She learns what she already knows

That she is not safe, that there are things out there striving to kill her

And that Dimitri brought her here for one purpose only

She learns that her bones can still turn to water

When Dimitri touches her face with ice cold fingers

She learns that although Dimitri will not kill her yet

She will inevitably die

For he has only one choice, one other option

To awaken her

So that they can live, and rule the night

As masters of darkness

Together forever

You watch as her eyes widen, while you tell her the amazing future you have laid out for her

She is drinking I your words, and she is silent, staring

You wonder what she is thinking

Will she accept?

Will she be willing to envelope this new life offered?

And live up to her full potential

She is valuable

You know this, from her strength ,her determination and fearlessness

She never gives up in a fight, a worthy opponent

Would make and even greater ally

With her knowledge of the royals, especially her strong bond

With her special royal friend

She could bring them ultimate power

She could bring them greatness

You wait expectantly to heat he decision

NO

She has refused you

And you knew she would, She has grew up to despise, fight your kind

She has spent years in an institution, ruled by fear of strigoi, protected from their imminent attacks

You know that this aversion is to ingrained inside her

For her to readily succumb to your awakening

But she WILL accept

You will make sure of it

Your will tear down her defences, her apprehension s bit by bit

You will make her see all that is great and compelling and valuable

And you will break down her resolve

And she will eventually crack

But for now

You will keep her here, locked under your surveillance; You will protect her from others who would hurt her, Because she is too important to you and your devices.

You will feed her and clothe her, make her look even more beautiful then she already is

It will amuse you to watch her tenacity wane with all the luxuries, gifts and comfort you will give her.

Yes she will bring you much pleasure

You present her with her favourite food; you know she is hungry and weakened

And she declines with typical Rose snarky-ness

She declares she will starve herself, and you find this incredibly humorous

You laugh at her naivety, because you know that she will be awakened long before she can ever harm herself.

You will wait for her consent

But not for long

And as you stare down at her

An incredible urge rushes through

So startling and startling. That you act straight away without thought or contradiction

You see her black spider web eyelashes, her dewy skin, and her pulse beating in her willowy neck

You can feel the heat rolling of her

Smell her intoxicating scent, cinnamon and jasmine

And you want to touch her, feel her silky skin beneath your fingers

So you kiss her

Crush your lips against her soft lush ones; taste her on your tongue, wet and sweet

You didn't realise this would feel so different yet so much the same

You can feel everything, smell everything

The hair standing up on the back of her neck

Her breathing hitching as she kisses you back

Her bones so fragile beneath your hands

You could crush her, and it gives you more pleasure

You feel something distant, click inside you

A tiny nub begins to burn deep within

And your breakaway from her as you had came

Because you have to get away

To shake of this strange feelings bubbling inside you like a river

So you leave her staring after you, with eyes like storms
