If only you knew
I walk softly against the dark alley way, waiting for him to find me. Waiting, for him to take me away from all this pain and sorrow. I lay my head against the dirty alley way walls and sigh. I hear cars blow their horns and the dogs barking for me to leave. I curl up into a little ball and tuck my head between my legs. I just wait for him to come. To take me away from the world. I just wait.
I hear the sounds of footsteps approaching me in the alley way. I stand up nervously and stare into a man’s hungry, beady eyes. Eyes full of evil and hate that only want my life now. I see something flash in his hands and my pulse quickens. He smiles at me and I just stare without any emotion. He moves next to me and touches my hair. He sniffs it like a dog would. He feels my pulse and he stares at me in excitement. I smack his hand away and he slams me hard against the wall. A large exhale of breath comes from within me. He licks my neck and it feels disgusting. Why am I in a state of shock? Why won’t I do something? Where is HE?
I slip my hands behind me and take a knife from my undershirt. I smile at him fully and he goes to undo my shirt. I hold the knife to his throat and he freezes in place. I start to giggle and he backs away from me slowly. He turns and runs away without looking back. I sigh a sigh of relief and slide back down the wall. I cry into my jeans. A man is standing over me and I didn’t even hear him approach. He helps me up and I say thank you.
“Are you ok? I saw what happened back there” Concern flows through
“I am fine. Thank you for being so concerned. What is your name again?” I ask
“Demetrius Picasso. You can call me Demetri.” He answers
“Wait… you’re that famous guy right?” I ask him
“No. That is my twin actually. I never got your name… I would like to know who I just saved.” He sounds so bold
“Margret Dragomire. You can call me Madeline though.” I walk away
“Madeline. May I ask you a personal question?” He asks me
“If only I can do the same towards you.” I agree to a deal
“Are you perhaps a Death Dealer or Vampire by a chance?” He looks me in the eyes
“I am……. Neither.” I answer him
“Are you sure? You seem so deadly.” My pulse quickens
“Positive Demetri.” I say with a small smile
“You can ask your questions now” He leans in towards me
“Are you a Vampire?” I ask him
“Yes I am a Vampire” He admits
“Can I feel you?” I ask
“What do you mean by that?” An amused look crosses his face
“To touch your arm so I can get a feel of your character.” I step closer towards him
“Only if I get to do the same.” He makes a bargain
“Alright” I agree to it
I move closer to him and lay my head against his chest. I hear a humming sound coming from him instead of a heartbeat. He wraps his arms around me and I disengage. He steps back and scans the area. I reach up and put my hands on the side of his face. I tow his face to mine and slowly kiss him. He stays with the pace of it at first. The next thing I know is that he’s kissing me harder and harder. I come up for air and we stare at each other while the high level of attraction calms down. We both adjust our selves to a more business like mood and carry on with the assessment.
“I really do hope we meet again” I hope aloud
“I hope so too.” He smiles at me
“Goodbye… for now.” He says to me
“See you in the dark Demetrius Picasso.” I walk away
I walk on the streets of Bellowton with my head hung down slightly. I do not pay attention to the human traffic, so I bump into a few people. All I have time to think about is Demetri. I start to run through the crowd towards my house. I fall down on the concrete hard. I feel my face hit the floor very hard. I rise to my feet slowly. My head throbs like crazy. I fix my hair with shaky hands and push my hair out of my face. I walk slowly to my apartment and insert the key into it. I turn the key in the lock and hear the door click unlock. I walk into my house and scan the area. Nobody is in the kitchen or bathroom or my bedroom. Everything is ok. I walk down and lock the door. As I walk away from the door, someone knocks on it. I walk back to the door and look through the peek hole. I see hair, just slick black hair. I open the door only to be greeted by Demetri’s smile. I smile back and he stares at me weird.
“May I help you?” I ask
“You forgot this.” He holds the knife out towards me
“Oh! Yes, thank you so much. What would I do without you?” I laugh
“Do you really want me to answer that?” His eyebrow raises and he looks at me like an optimistic person.
“Thank you again for the knife.” I grab the knife and cut my palm
“Let me help you with that.” He pushes through the crack of the door and locks it behind him
He grabs my palm and jerks it towards him. My body follows and collides with him. He looks at me while he licks my palm slowly. I gasp because his tongue stings my hand when it touches the skin around the slash. He finishes disinfecting the slash and I slowly claim my hand back. He looks at me and wipes his mouth with the back of his hands. He turns and unlocks the door. As he opens it, I start to speak.
“Would you like to have dinner?” I ask
“Don’t say such a thing my dear. You make me look forward to draining you. Not nice of you to tease me.” He laughs softly
“We can go hunting I mean. You can even drain me if you like. All that I am saying is that I just want to be with you somewhere at some given time. That’s all.” I smile with my fangs showing
“You liar…” He locks the door, walks up to me, and slaps me
“Don’t you lay a hand on me ever again Demetrius Picasso. I know people that will murder you for me.” My tone turns deadly
“I know people that like women just to hear them scream because of what they are doing to them.” He smiles
“I know you’re not threatening me Demetri.” I growl
“Watch your mouth creature.” He grips my arm tightly
“Let go or you will be sorry” I warn him with tears in my eyes
“I love you too much to let you go…”He says seriously
“Do yourself a favor and let go Demetri” I cry
“No” He pulls me into his embrace and kisses me so hard, it felt like the world never existed
“I am so sorry for this” I push him back
“Sorry for loving me…?” He guesses
“I’m sorry Dinka! DADDY!” I yell
The wind picks up and the floor shakes. Vampire guards faze through the walls and surround us. I stand still as they register who they are about to attack. They all turn on Demetri. He goes on the offensive and rips off most of their heads. After a few minutes, lightning erupts and I run over by the wall. The floor falls from the middle of the room. Demetrius falls in and is barely hanging on. I run and look down at him. He looks up and asks for my help. I shake my head and drops to my knees. He pulls himself up and I lean down to hear what he has to say. He kisses me and I never want it to stop. He kisses me so hard that I feel like without him, I would never breathe again. I grab his belt buckle and he gets excited. I just smile. I pull him up by his belt buckle and he falls on top of me. I roll him over and straddle him. I reach down and kiss him. I stand up and walk away from him.
“Daddy… o dear daddy.” I call for my Father
“Daughter…my dearest daughter.” He responds
“Please show yourself.” I ask nicely
“I would have to kill him if I did” He says humorously
“Come on daddy. I’ll not allow that.” I say seriously
“Ok Mystic. So just like your Mother.” He steps from the shadows
Besides the royal guards taking their places, I hear Demetri’s gasp. I smile and run up to my father. I give him a great big hug. He hugs me back slightly and I smile even bigger. He scans the room until he meets Demetri’s gaze. He growls and hisses a little at the sight of another man in his presence that also holds me dear to him. I wish I didn’t have to do this sometimes.
“Daddy I have some news.” I grab his attention
“You have found a suitor?” He smiles brightly
“No father. This young man wants to court me.” I smile
“I will not allow that to happen.” He steps in front of me
“But Daddy, I like him very much. He even saved my life. And he healed my cuts too.” I convince my father
“Young man, what is your name?” My father asks him
“Demetrius Picasso. From the Royal Shadess family. Their Current heir.” He kneels before my father
“He seems alright from my point of view Madeline.” My father sighs
“Thank you father. Can you leave us alone now?” I ask and hug him
“Of course. I will see you tomorrow.” He fades out of view with all his guards following him
Demetri seems to not meet my gaze. I step closer to him and he is automatically by the front door reaching for the doorknob. I use my speed to stand behind him and he turns around quickly. I look up into the eyes of a man I just met. I see hate, anger, deception, optimism, love, adoration, kindness, ruthlessness, and a bloodlust. He just stares back at me without saying anything. I reach up and kiss his cheek and he seems appalled. I open the door for him and he walks out. He walks out without even a glance back at me. I close the door and run up to my room. I crash on my bed and fall asleep.
“Demetrius Picasso. I really hope we meet again my dear boy.” I whisper into the night.
I wake up to the sound of my alarm. I toss over and hit the snooze button. I throw the covers off of me and groan as the cold air hits me. I get up and immediately head for my shower. As the water beats down on my back, I am in a daze. I feel the water trickle down me as I turn the shower off. I walk out of the shower and lay on my bed. I pull my jeans on and put my favorite bra on. I skim through my drawers
