Chapter 3

Scream

Lex hid behind a small tomb near the graveyard, while the vampire walked along the gravestones and held a shining purple lollipop that glittered under the moon. He called out for her, "Where are you hiding, Lex?" He rose his candy towards the sky and a light streamed across the sky and created a line that pointed towards Lex, "There..."

He appeared behind her and she screamed at him, "I hate you!"

He laughed at her stupidity and grabbed her wrist, "No you don't." He twirled her around and spun in circles with her like they were on a carousel or something, "You love me."

He stopped and breathed near her ear, "Your thoughts say so."

A tear slipped down her cheek and she hit her fist against him, "Why!?"

"Why?" He laughed, "Maybe you should ask yourself that question."

Her eyes closed tightly and she held her head, shaking it as another headache was brewing in her mind. "I..." She breathed in a ragged breath, "Kanato tell me. Am I dead!?"

"Are you dead?" He smirked at her, "You really are a mortal."

"Huh?"

"You just fell into my labyrinth of candy and fun."

"Your what?" He smiled at her and began to walk back to the mansion, "Kanato!"

She ran after him and slipped in what appeared to be mud. He turned around and laughed at her, "Hahaha! Oh princess... please crawl around in the mud!"

She looked up at him and a stray strand of hair fell in her face, as she looked up at him, "What?"

He smiled at her, leaning towards her, "You heard me crawl- ahh!" She pulled on his arm and he fell headfirst into the mud. He growled, "...you princess bitch!"

She rose her head arrogantly, "You asked for it."

"...and you asked for this!"

He picked up a piece of mud and smeared it over her face. Upon further inspection she realized it wasn't mud at all and had a sweet flavor to it when it touched her lips, so why did Kanato still call it mud? Her mouth opened in surprise and she glared at him throwing a ball of chocolate mud at him. He proceeded to push her down and looked into her eyes, "Just what do you think your doing?" She kept her mouth shut and he shoved some of the sweet chocolate in her mouth, pushing his finger down her throat. She gagged, bit his finger and he ripped it out of her mouth. "You're lucky you're not dead."

"You're lucky I don't-"

She smirked and picked up a piece of chocolate mud and ran it down the center of his forehead, down to his chin. He stared at her in surprise and she picked up a small piece of it, placing it gently between the crevice of his lips. Kanato trembled at her touch and blushed slightly. She smirked and pressed her fingers against his lower lip, teasing him as she ran her fingers across it. He blushed more and grabbed her wrist.

She stared at him and he looked into her eyes curiously. He tensed up when she leaned towards him and he leaned away from her slightly. He had no clue what was on her mind but he had no intention of kissing her if that was her plan. She grabbed the lacy collar of his shirt and pulled him close, watching his face heat up, "Who's in control now?"

"Still me." He pushed her away into the mud and sat on top of her, "I don't know what you think doll."

She looked up at him and she reached for his collar again, but he grabbed her wrist. Her other hand reached for him and he grabbed her other wrist. "Kanato..."

"Do you want something?"

Her eyes stared into his and a slight blush crept onto her cheeks, "M-maybe..."

He smirked at her, leaning towards her and whispered into her lips, "Am I close to what you want?" She tensed and squirmed underneath him, since staying still was getting hard for her to bare. A soft whine escaped her lips and his eyes narrowed as he grinned at her, "Heh. Silly doll..."

She bit her lip and he mimicked her, biting her lower lip in a way that made her feel like she was going to explode into bits of confetti. His teeth scraped off of her lips slowly and he continued to smirk at her. She really was something.

"Teddy..." He looked down at his bear as he sat up, again, "Don't you think Lex is a little..."

Lex looked at him and blushed intensely as he finished his sentence, "Dirty minded?"

"Eh!?"

"We can hear your thoughts princess." Her eyes widened and he used one of her thoughts against her, "I really don't know what I'd looked like drenched in honey and cake, but it sounds beyond messy."

She blushed more and he got up, pulling her to her feet. Her body trembled and shook in embarrassment. All she wanted to do right now was run far away from Kanato where he couldn't read her thoughts.

Bite me.

He looked at her and read her curse, "Bite you? Your offering yourself to me?"

"Eh. N-no."

"Then, why'd you say 'bite me'?"

"Uh..."

He stepped towards her and she backed away. "Stop confusing me."

"S-sorry!"

"Sorry? I hate apologies." He yanked on her hand and bit into her wrist, "Never apologize to me."

"O-okay..."

He bit deeper into her wrist and she winced. Her blood was very sweet at this hour and he bit down harder. She screamed and whined as he drank in long gulps and seemed like he was attempting to drink her dry. Stop! It really hurts! How did I even get here? I hate this... Why can't vampires be sweet and drink something other than blood, but what would that be? What can I do to get out of here? Just set me free. Please.
