Chapter 8
The Sacrifice
It was a few weeks later that she had decided that she wouldn't allow the two brothers to keep this feud up. She was going to end it. Peter was against letting her be alone with Josh as he wanted to be there to protect her. He was fully aware that she could take care of herself, but that didn't take the feeling away. She didn't want Peter to have to keep running; she had wanted him to be able to live.
Lina was standing on the roof of a city building as Josh stood before her. He had not meant to meet her here, but here they were. "Don't be a fool. There is a different between rivalry and revenge. " Lina spoke to him as she walked closer to him. She was wearing a dark red tank top and a black jacket. She was wearing jeans along with some black boots as she continued coming closer. "This, what you have obsessed yourself with revenge. You have a chance Josh Moonson, to turn back and save yourself."
Josh stood on the edge of the building as he was wearing his jeans as he wore a blue shirt. He turned around to face her as he stepped closer to her, his bare feet touching the ground. "Like I should be afraid of you." He gave her a small smile as he added,"You've already killed me. " He didn't have anything left." You've already killed me. If your going to threaten me than go back to your love." He told her as he saw her gray eyes. "My life is mine to choose. If I want to take them, then I'm going to. You can't stop me." he assured her as he held his stance. He was staring at her as her look was turning eerie; she was smiling at him in an uneasy way. "Why..Josh. "Her arms opened as she seemed to be expecting him to give her a hug. "You're one of my clients now."
She really was a mad woman."Get AWAY from me!" He yelled at her as his wings appeared behind him, expanding fully as they reflected light from the moon. He pulled them back as they started making motions back and forth, causing several swift gusts of wind. He pulled them back as he swiftly pushed them forward with as much force as he could. He created a large gust of wind, almost like a tornado coming towards Lina. There was dirt blowing around the roof, making it hard to make her out other than her shape. "Touch me... and you'll regret it." He folded his wings behind him as he took a step closer, trying to make her out. He could hear her eerie laugh from behind the dust cloud. His wings were somewhat of a strobe light as the feathers would reflect the moonlight as he moved.
She swept her hand across as the dust followed behind her, the wind continuing behind her as she stood. She hadn't even moved. " That's the first time I've heard that from you Josh Moonson." She was making him even uneasy as she smiled that way again. That smile was one you would find in a mad driven killer. "Do you know who I am Josh?" Angel of Ruin. That's how I am. And My... Don't you need me." She told him with such confidence. "Don' fight me Josh. I now have some control over you." she walked towards him as she she whispered," Don't fight me." She had a crazed look in her eyes. She was his next conquest.
Josh smiled at her as he watched her coming closer. There was only one angel that could control him. And she was gone. "Angel of Ruin? Death itself then." He looked at her for a moment as he folded his arms. " Whats your name?" She smiled at him as she suddenly appeared beside him. She was looking down at the street as she spoke." No. Not Death. That's my half-sister Dear. Instead..." She paused for a moment, watching the street and all the people below before she turned to him." I'm both. I am Hell and relief to people like yourself." she made a hand gesture towards him as she tilted her head just a little." Lina doesn't really exist josh, What you're doing... It is Useless." She assured him as she smiled." Aliyah." Aliyah had given him her name as she turned to the people below, watching them as she waited for his submission.
He stared at this new person as it was not his Lina. It was more important that he got her back then trying to argue with his creature."Your half-sister? Whats her name? It's never useless. I always have my points." He was one of reason most of the time. "Even if they don't seem that clear to the liking of you. I think I should be talking to her." He smiled a little to himself as he felt a different part of him taking over of himself. His reason was leaving as pure desire to obtain his goal was setting in. Lina smiled to herself as she was actually going to tell him who her sister was. She supposed it wouldn't make a difference either way." Her name.. is Nasira. And Yes, I'm guessing you should be." She turned to him as a laugh escaped from her lips."Of course you do Darling." she spoke as she emphasized darling to him."So do the others, but there is a difference between realistic points and your insane ones." He stood before her as he spoke." I don't care if you If you understand my type of insanity. Or my relationship with my brother. I'm ready to end it. Where does she live? Hell?" He spoke to her with a hint of sarcasm.
She smirked at him," Funny. She lives on earth." She paused for a moment, eying him before she spoke."Tell me...How do you feel after months of obsessive searching? Only to find him kissing your wife?" She flinched a little as he was sure she was enjoying it. "Obsessive searching? I wouldn't call it that. It wasn't hard to find to him. " he moved towards her as he would play her game. "He's so predictable." he said making sure to emphasize the predictable. "I wanted him to feel the same pain. And as for you, you're not her anymore. Just some shell that took her place. " He looked her up and down for a moment as he spoke again." You're not my wife. She died the day her eyes turned that shade of gray." He leaned towards her as he whispered to her. "I want to meet your sister. Don't make me wait." he told as he waited." I bet you feel confused." Aliyah whispered back to him as she turned to look at him. She appeared behind him as she continued." Lost. In that world. Dear Josh isn't this something. So ironic. That I'm in the form of your wife who broke because of you? And here you are now, Broken. " She tilted her head at him as she spoke still,"It's funny how life plays out don't you think? Oh but..shhh. You don't need to do anything." she moved slowly to touch his shoulder, caressing it. It surprised her at how comforting his touch was.
She had her hand against his arm as she spoke. "Your brother doesn't need any revenge..." She raised her attention from his arm as she focused now on him. "He's not with your wife but me. And Nasira, oh she knows you want to meet her. Its not necessary. " She dragged her hand up to his shoulder as she started dragging it across his back. She moved to her tippy toes as she whispered it into his ear." I'm here." She ran her fingers along his back as she moved to the other side of him. He let out a small chuckle as he smirked, "You have nothing here. Only she does." He turned to look at her as he hadn't cared for her touch." I assure you that it is. Necessary. " She came to stand in front of him as she touched his forehead with her index finger. "Just Relax...I'm sure you need the rest. Nasira doesn't need to be bothered. " He could feel the sleepiness tingling all over his body. The need to sleep was becoming stronger. " I'm not some toy. Not one of your freaks." He clinched his jaw as he was fighting off the sleep. "Where is she?" He would try and try again. He wouldn't fail this time.
"No..You are not a toy. Nasira will not be bothered. Just relax Joshua moonson. Your mind needs to rest. Sit down and rethink what you are doing." She told him as she put her hand against his shoulder, pushing him down to his knees. She leaned down to kiss his head as she was treating him like one of her fragile clients. She was trying to use lina's touch to comfort him. "STOP." He shot a glare up at her as he was to weak to try and stand again."I can rest plenty when im dead. Where is she?" He asked again. "Oh Josh.." She spoke as she chuckled at him, pulling away as she did."rethink what you are doing to yourself. You are not thinking. You do not need to do anything at all. Fate simply plays things out for you, but first you just need to relax. Think." She bent down as she was face to face to him." If you can't do that, then I can do it for you. Im quite generous." She smiled that eerie smile again as it always made him so uneasy. He smiled to himself as he chuckled. He let his head hand down as he spoke yet again." Where is Nasira." He was searching his mind for a way to force it out of her. Or to force her out of his."Do you know.." She stood as she looked down at him now." Because of my status i'm just as strong as you. " Of course when it came to her job.
He heard her voice in his head as he turned to look up at her, seeing nothing coming from her lips. He sighed as he leaned his head back down.
Let everything go Josh. It may not be what you think you want, but its' what you need. You are not meant to be ruined yet. But you soon will. You're on the edge.
Joshua pushed his strength to the service as he lifted his head, glaring at her as he yelled." I WANT to see Nasira!" he clinched his teeth as he looked at her still."Go ahead, push me." She put her hand against his cheek, " I'm not the won't pushing, you are dear. Just listen to me...If you continued down this path for much longer you will become my permanent victim. Do you really want that? Just me? Let things go. Let what to you go and move on. Your brother doesn't need anything more. Neither do you." He was breathing a little harder as he could feel the need to sleep becoming stronger. She bent over, making sure her lips brushed against his ear." Save yourself." He hadn't even noticed that he was leaning towards her as her touch was something he was longing for lately. "Where is she?" He asked as his eyes were closed, smiling a little. "You're good at torturing. " That was well established.
"Is it tormenting to know that these lips were just on your brothers? Josh...Do not torture yourself with such questions." she ran her fingers over his cheek as she stayed close to him. "Listen to me...Save yourself and let it go." Josh took in a deep breath as he felt a small spurt of energy coming forth, opening his eyes. He shot her a look as he didn't even have to ask. She knew what he wanted. She laughed at him as she spoke," I'm not evil you know. I'm only doing my job. You only seem to make things harder. Let' see..." She thought for a moment as she put her finger to her lips." How can I get your mind off of things? Hmm?" she asked as she tapped her lips a few times. What to do, what to do.
She moved in front of him, moving to knees in front of him." You don't need her. Josh, try to understand that I'm here to reason with you. I don't want to bring further pain...but I suppose I will. More pain, more gain." She sighed as she released a certain creature from inside. Her eyes turned from their dark gray color to the bright green that they were before. Lina gasped as she looked at him, looking at herself." Josh!" he stared at her as he looked into her eyes, seeing that they were different. Not that of Aliyah's."Lina..." He looked at her as he stared still. It was her. "Is it really you?" he asked her as he was still being lulled into sleep. Lina grabbed onto his arms as she was crying, tears on her cheeks as she spoke to him. "Let go..Just let go Josh." She was begging him as he couldn't believe she would ask that of him.
"What?" he asked almost breathlessly as he stared at her. "Look...at what your doing to yourself." She was whispering to him as he leaned his head down, not looking at the tears on her face. It sounded like her. Yet the words she spoke sounded too much like Aliyah. One of her tricks. "Look at yourself. How can you continue to do this? Peter..Oh god Josh.. I .-" Josh almost growled as he yelled at her." STOP!" He glared at her even if she did have lina's eyes. "Please..." He begged her as he sighed. "Please. Don't torture me. I dont...have much left. I just want to talk to Nasira. To find you again." he told her as he closed his eyes a little."See what you're doing. No more needs-" Josh pulled a dagger from his shoe as he moved to his feet, striking a wound against her cheek. He pointed it at her as he looked like he would fall over if someone barely pushed him.
Aliayh's wings bolted out of her wings as she felt the dagger split her skin, even if it was small. She glared at him as she spoke. "Hurt me Josh Moonson and you will harm her. And trust me, with each stab I will let you see her. You will see her in pain." she assured him."So what do you want to do Josh? It's your choice." He moved closer to her as the blade point was against her shoulder. "Like I said..she's not there anymore. Where is Nasira?" He asked her again as he pushed the blade against her skin, seeing the blade break her skin. "Go ahead, test me Josh moonson. But I will bring her out. Then you'll bring even more pain to her." She felt the blade being pushed further after her warning, do what she had promised.
"Lets test our power." He told her as he pushed it in further. He heard gasping coming from the angel as he lifted his eyes to her. Her eyes were green again, not the darker gray. He wasn't sure it was her, but he wasn't going to take a chance. "Mon..dieu." She managed to get out as she gasped for air. It caught his attention as he looked at her, seeing her eyes and her words. It was something she would say. "Lina..." he came to realize that she had brought her out. He was damaging her arm." I'm sorry.." He told her as he pulled the dagger from her shoulder, dropping it to the ground. He could see the tears flowing down her cheeks freely now. "I'm sorry." he told her again as he dropped to his knees, leaning against his palms. "J-Josh." She spoke his name as she moved to the ground with him. "Please..." She took in a few deep breaths as she managed to get out. "Please.. I lov-"
The angel of ruin had shut her away again, her eyes transparent to a gray color once again. "Oh Josh..." she spoke again as her voice was different, that sort of Aliyah's. "look what you've done. She's bleeding. More pain she received from you. What a sad reunion. After what has it been? Months? Just seeing your dear wife, only to stab her? It is a shame." she told him as she grinned down at him. She was by far the worst creature he had ever met. And she was the one who was helping people? He might just go insane from the look of her. He would be a perfect angel to just avoid ever meeting her again. "Josh.." She pulled his chin up as she made him look at her." Do you know who I am? I am Lina, just the part that isn't hurting anymore. So you can never kill me or you will kill her. You want to see her again? I can bring her out if you like. If.. you promise you'll Peter alone. "
Joshua chuckled as he let his head fall back down, away from her touch. She was a piece of work. He took in a deep breath as he spoke in a soft whisper."Nasira...please." he asked her as he felt helpless and even more loss than before. He closed his eyes as Aliyah's voice was fading out, leaving room for his mind to think.
I just want her back. I'm weak, but I have enough anger to drive me. Whatever you say, i'll do.
He assured Nasira as he was willing to do what was needed of him. Nasira's voice came in his head as it was nice to hear a voice that wasnt Aliyah's.
Do you understand why your wife is now the angel of ruin josh moonson?
He could barely hear Aliyah's voice as she sounded shocked." Whats this?" she spoke as it made him grin.
Not exactly. I will change. As long as she'll try. Nasira.. I just want to be near her again.
Joshua opened his eyes, looking up at aliyah with his dark blue eyes, seeing her still there.
Understand Josh moonson that there must be dramatic changes if I grant this to you. Your brother will be alone and your wife still at risk of falling into the same fate again. You must promise me you will change and then I will bring Lina back to you. Forgetting everything.
Her voice paused as she then added, her voice a silky smooth sound.
It's a risk, what you are asking...But I can tell you that death is not your answer. Or hers.
Josh chuckled as he could hear Aliyah asking him if he was talking to Nasira. She was demanding it of him, getting frustrated. She knew her time was dwindling. " I promise.." He spoke aloud so Aliyah would know what was coming. "I'll change. If I cant.. you can have my life." He told Nasira as he looked up at Aliyah. He grinned at her as he his head leaned back down.
You know...it would be fun to kill your sister. Is it possible that I could? He smirked to himself as he sighed from the need to sleep.
You're quite a character.He could hear Nasira laughing at how he was. Perhaps he was. I'm afraid if you killed my sister, you would kill Lina. Understand that. There is that side of lina, thati f you do break your promise. She will become this again. It is after all her fate. Im just..rewriting it for you. But..what about your brother? It seems he has grown attached to this angel?
You could hear lina panicking even more as she couldn't gain control of him. "What is this!" She asked him again as she yelled, her eyes growing a darker gray than before. She was grabbing his shirt, shaking him to answer her.
Josh sighed as he was so exhausted from everything. Mostly from Aliyah's touch. He knew wouldn't last much longer. You know.. I think he'd like you. He wants to be a vampire. He always liked the darker things. I'm not suggesting love.. just a friend. He'd...be Loyal.. to You.. he told her as Peter was the type. Loyal to the things he believed in. He was always there for Charlotte.
His eyes were closed as he could barely make anything out other than her voice. He didn't feel lina's touch anymore or her voice. It was only Nasira's.
I Will see what I can do. Now, you just sleep Josh Moonson. I shall take care of everything.
Her voice faded as he whispered to her. "Thanks." His eyes were already closed as his body fell limp on the roof, letting go as it was asked of him. He had fallen asleep, but he would wake soon enough.
Peter was waiting for Lina as he pulled a black cotton shirt back on as he had his jeans on, looking around her apartment. He smiled at how simple it really was. He wondered exactly how much time she did spend here. He turned on the tv as he sat on the couch, wondering how much longer she would be. He watched a few shows, flipping through the channels before he heard a knock on the door. He was curious to see who it was seeing as Lina wouldn't of bothered to knock. He moved from the couch as he opened the door, seeing a woman standing before him." Peter Moonson?" She asked as her voice seemed some what silky. If that was even a way to describe someone. It was something smooth and inviting, a hidden danger to it. Like some sort of trap. It seemed like something that you would want, but at the end you found yourself in a peril. Much like a siren.
Yes." He looked at her as he had an idea of who it was, but it wasn't very likely that it was. He took her in more as she wasn't much taller than a woman of five. She was shorter than himself and she was tan. Of course he was that white tan...if that counted as a tan. Her hair was to her shoulders, black and wavy as her eyes were like Lina's. Gray. "I think you wanted to see me." Nasira spoke as she stretched her hand out towards him."Nasira at your service. " He narrowed his eyes a little in disbelief, looking her over again. She wasn't what he pictured. She was way more attractive. "Nasira...?" He had wanted to meet her for such a long time now. He had wanted to rid himself of his purity, but he was never allowed an audience with her. He wondered what she was doing here. "Yes. I wanted to be a vampire. But..." He looked at her as he was trying to find out the secret of her appearance. "Why now?" He stood before her, not inviting her in just yet.
Lina had never mentioned any company." Lina...Who is really not herself." Nasira spoke to him as she could tell what he was thinking. He snickered as he opened the door for her. Why would she not know things? She came into the house, standing there in front of him as he held the door open. "If you really want to be a vampire, than I can help you to become that. As far as my half-sister...Well it is hard to explain. She is the same person you see, but at the same she is not." Peter smiled at how it seemed things were always this bizarre in his life."The real lina, who has been hurting, is trapped. The one that has been forced to become the angel of ruin and no longer hurts is the one that you see before yourself. The one you've been with. She has a name, Aliyah. Think of it as Lina's emotions are trapped within herself. And this whole time she has just been doing what she was transformed into being. Someone unlike her."
She looked around the room as she moved to close the door for him, looking back at him as she went back to more important matters. "Peter, I've just came from assisting your brother and I have reached a solution." Peter looked at her as his eye brows narrowed at her. He had a feeling he wouldn't care for what she would tell him next. "He has made a sacrifice and if you want to be a vampire, you too must make one." He stared at her as he would have to make a sacrifice to be a vampire. The only thing he had in common with his brother was Lina. "And to become a vampire I would have to..." He asked as he waited for the catch. There was always a catch to things.
"Let go of Aliyah and allow her to be Lina so she could be with josh again. Than you can become a vampire. " Nasira moved to sit down as she looked up at him, waiting for him to decide. He watched her, chuckling at her in disbelief. "I'm going to erase her memory so she would forget she ever became this. If she remembers it will send her into a downward spiral back to what she is now. She would be too depressed. That means she will not remember spending time with you." She gave him a serious look as she continued." But I will not erase your or your brother's memory. Then you will remember how fragile Lina's mind is. So you both may be careful. A few evens and she will be Aliyah again. It's her fate and there is only so much I can do." She managed to give him a small smile as she spoke again." So will you sacrifice that and become a vampire? Do you agree with everything we've spoken?"
Peter stared at her for a moment before turning his attention away from her. He stared out in the living room as he thought her proposal over. He would have to give up the life he had for months...to be what he should have been in the beginning. He would have to give up Li-Aliyah. One and the same. He knew it wasn't exactly Lina, there was subtle differences between the two of them. He had known lina in another life and he had known her little quirks, even the way she moved. It wasn't fair. For anyone. It was not fair to ask him to give up his happiness. It was not fair to ask Lina to stay dormant in her own body. It was not fair to ask Aliyah to be in a body that was not her own. It was not fair to his brother to lose his wife. It was not fair to ask him to watch someone he loved to be with another...but peter had done it for centuries. No one had thought of him, why should he think of others. Why should he not be selfish and decline her offer?
He looked up at her as he started to speak, words falling short as he stopped himself. It was not fair. And so would that be the way of the world. He lost focus on Nasira as he thought this over again. He closed his eyes as he was starting to fade into his memories. Memories of their better days.
Peter was walking down the hallway as he had his sword at his side. He had a few body guards walking with him as he had insisted that he didn't need them around the castle. Perhaps he did when he was out in the streets, but his people had to know that he was not afraid of the threats. A King had to appear strong, unbreakable to his people. People did not want a leader that was weak, no more human than they were. They were looking to him to be more than human. He would have to be more than human to win this war. He went to his room as there were two guards standing by the door as he nodded at them. "Thank you." He told the guards that were following him. "I would like some time alone. "he asked the two guards who looked at each other. "My lord... I do not think it is wise to let you be alone at this hour. It is very dangerous. They will send assassins my Lord. We cannot protect you if send us away." One of the guards spoke to their king as he nodded at them.
" I know. I just need one night alone with my wife. I would like to see the both of you do the same with yours. Go. See your family. " Peter spoke to them as he put hands on both guards shoulders as they both nodded at him. "We will not be far my lord. We will take shifts so that each will get some time with their family. As you request my lord." They left him to be, but not till he went into the room and closed the door behind him. He turned around to see Lina standing out on the balcony. He smiled at he as he came to her." You know.." He ran his fingers over her shoulder as he looked at her." I 've told you not to stand out here. It is dangerous." She turned to look at him as she grinned." And I've told you not to stand out here. You are here." she pointed out to him as her eyes looked over his face, giving him a smile.
Peter chuckled as he looked at her dress. She wore it just for him. It had a open back as the white cloth just covered her front, leaving her sides exposed. It went over her chest and tied at the neck. It did make him stare at her more than any other thing she had worn before it. His fingers trailed back and forth on her side as he looked up at her." Yes here I am." He told her as he smiled back at her. "You said you had something to tell me. I'm sorry it took so long." He apologized to her as she moved to face him. "Do not apologize my lord. I know you have things you must do." He nodded at her as her hand moved to his cheek." Sometimes unfortunately. How is my Queen?" He asked as he waited to hear what it was she had wanted to tell him.
She looked at his chest armor, running her hands against the edges of them. She looked up at him as she smiled," I wanted to tell you that you will have a child soon. I hope it will be a son for you." she told him as she rested her hands against his chest armor. He looked at her for a moments in shock, as he was sure all did when it came to moments like this one. He chuckled a little as he spoke," Really? " He looked at her own body, now determined to be more gentle with her than ever before. He put his hands against her cheeks as he leaned his head against hers as he spoke." That is great news my queen. " He grinned at her as he gave her a few kisses." Come. We must tell the others." he told her with excitement as he took her hand. He gently pulled her away from the balcony, hearing her laugh as she was glad to see how happy he was. He heard her gasp behind him as he held her hand in his, turning to look at her. She was in pain, pulling her hand from his to put it against her stomach. She pulled her fingers from her own body, showing blood on them. She had a dagger in her..."Lina.." He spoke to her as he pulled her from the window. He saw daggers flying past them as they made a high pitch ringing noise on the impact of the stone wall. He called for the guards as he pulled the knife out of her. She was dying... He turned his head as he saw the guards come in, pulling their swords out as they saw the queen. He felt her touch on his cheek, turning his attention back to her. Her fingers drifted from his cheek to his lip, stroking his bottom lip. He couldn't feel the blood her blood that was being smeared on his face with her touch. She gasped as she tried to speak to him, trying her best to get it out even if it hurt so much. " I love-" She took in another breath as you could see the pain in the wrinkles of her face. " You." she told him as she smiled at him. It was then that her thumb stroked his lip for the last time.
Peter opened his eyes as he looked at Nasira, still sitting there on the bench. She was waiting for him to tell her what his choice was. He wasn't sure what his choice was. He looked towards the door as his mind drifted again to another memory.
Peter had been assigned to be lina's guardian angel, wondering why he was assigned to watch over a human. It was a task set for someone that was a child of the king. The king of the heavens. He was stuck watching a human girl while Josh was off doing much cooler things. Like training how to fight. Here he was stuck with stalking. He had spent his time watching this girl, eventually starting to enjoy watching her. Not in the creepy way, but the opposite. He was starting to care for her. She was something...familiar and yet he could not remember her. He started to talk to her, starting to let her see him. They were starting to become friends, that was until he kissed her.
She had not cared that he was an angel. She had cared for him anyway. It was that night that his father pulled him aside, telling him that he would never be allowed to see her again. That josh would take his place and watch over the girl. She would forget that he ever existed, he would be forgotten. It was punishment enough to have someone you love be parted from you, but worse to watch her fall in love with another. His own brother. He was standing at the edge of the kingdom, looking down at the world bellow. He saw that lina was walking hand and hand with a man. A man who he called his brother. He was allowed to do what he could not. He could feel a rush of emotions come over him as he felt rain drops falling. It hit his face as it rolled down the side of his face, falling onto the ground below him. He headed inside the castle as he thought of other things. Fate was something that did not take kindly to him. There was the proof.
Peter lifted his head up towards Nasira as he would answer her now. He would have to set them both free. "Alright. " He told her as his eyes were filled with regret already. He was getting something great in return, but losing something greater. He would not have hope for love after this. When he so easily gave it away. He had wanted to be a vampire yes...but he had never imagined it to bet his way. "Then it's going to be given to you. Come. Sit down." She told him as she patted the seat next to her, moving from her spot so he would have the whole chair to himself. He took in a breath as he walked to the chair, sitting where she had directed him. He looked up at her as she spoke again, coming to stand in front of him. "Close your eyes." she asked gently as he wasn't finished just yet." Will I see you again?"
Nasira let out a laugh as she gave him a smile," Sounds like a question from one of those human movies." She brushed her fingers against his cheek a few brief moments before answering." Of course you will. I am, after all the Angel of Death. I will need to see that my vampires are doing what they need to." He was surprised at her touch, how it felt. It felt soft and warm. Comforting. Much like Lina's and not like Death. She was not what he had imagined. He sighed as she pulled her hand from his cheek, closing his eyes. "Just relax. " she told him as she continued." You're going to be out for a little awhile. He wondered when he turned into a vampire, the need for blood would come to him. He wondered what she would taste like. He had been a vampire before. This would be like returning home after a long journey.
"Just focus on what you really want, Peter..Trust me." she asked him in a whisper as her wings appeared behind her. The unfolded from behind her, wrapping around the both of them as the darkness covered him. Her wings were very much like Angel's, but they were dark black. Her wings were the loss of light as so was she. She moved to place her hands against his chest, one right over his heart. She closed her own eyes, concentrating on him. There were red lights starting to flash under her palms, soaking into peter's chest. A moment has passed as she opened her eyes, revealing her eyes almost as dark as her iris's.
