Lucias continued to walk towards Lilly, his face still split in an ever growing smile as he became closer to her. His eyes still glowing bright red. As he drew nearer he began to put his hand out towards Lilly's right shoulder, grasping it quickly while putting his other free hand on the top of her head. Wrenching her head away from her shoulder he revealed her throat bare in front of his eyes, he slowly moved his mouth closer, his fangs bared and his eyes glowing brighter. Lilly was panicking now, she didn't want to die, she believed now that she was in way over her head. She awaited for Lucias to tear into her throat, but nothing happened. Lucias let go of her and fell backwards, his eyes now back to their usual dull red and his face white, not grey. He looked up at Lilly his eyes filled with shame as he got up swiftly and tried to run out of his own room, saying only one thing, in a voice that sounded close to breaking down in crying.
“I'm sorry Lilly.” He then made a dash for the main room, he then slowed down and collapsed into his black leather chair, looking up at the ceiling. He was ashamed of himself. He believed it was his fault that the only person that ever loved him nearly died at his hand. He couldn't control himself.
Lilly simply lent back against the closest wall, sliding down it slowly, a huge smile on her face as she did so. Her mind was once again buzzing with ideas, although she had fallen in love with the calm and peaceful Lucias she enjoyed the other side of him too, although she was happy she was debating with herself of which side of Lucias she preferred, as which one she preferred would determine her next course of action. As she thought this through she slowly put her left hand on the right side of her throat, feeling where Lucias would have bit her had he not regained control. She sighed and smiled slightly, looking through the corner of her eyes at her hand on her throat. Lilly eventually got up and walked down the stairs to speak to Lucias. When she got there she saw him looking blankly up at the ceiling, his hands closed tightly into fists.
“Lucias?” She slowly edged towards him, suppressing her slight smile, giving her a concerned look. “What was that?” Her voice as concerned as her face as she stood before him. Lucias moved his head so he was facing Lilly, his eyes full of shame. “I'm sorry Lilly, I couldn't control myself.” He stopped, gulped for a moment, then continued. “I don't think I should live with you any more, I'm putting you in danger just being here.” He slowly attempted to get up out of the chair, but Lilly grabbed his hand, stroking it slowly.
“Don't worry Lucias, I don't care if I'm in danger, as long as your with me I'm happy, if you leave then I will follow.” She smiled kindly at him, still gently stroking his hand. Lucias stayed where he was sat, making no effort to move as he did not want to have to force Lilly out of the way.
“Lilly, please, I need to go, its for your own good that I leave.” He made a weak attempt to get up. Lilly at first let him get up from the chair, only to then push his gently onto the black velvet settee, him landing on the left side, Lilly quickly jumping onto the right side. She quickly slid closer to Lucias, eventually almost sitting on his lap. She turned to face him totally, wrapping her arms around him and embracing him tightly, pulling her head towards his as if she was about to kiss him, but stopping when there was around two inches between them. Lucias spoke up “Lilly, I have to go I...” He was cut short by Lilly putting her finger of his lips as she pulled her face closer to his, though moving it to the side, so her mouth was level to his ear. She held him tighter as she began to speak.
“Lucias, please don't leave me, I wouldn't be able to stand life without you.” Her voice was filled with love and sadness, as if she was grieving Lucias's death. Just as Lucias was about to protest again she quickly pulled her face back to be looking at Lucias. She looked him lovingly in the eyes for only a moment before swiftly moving in to kiss him slowly and lovingly, holding him tighter as she did so.
Lucias responded to this by quickly wrapping one arm around Lilly's waist and putting the other on the back of her head, pulling her closer to him and kissing franticly. They stayed like this for around ten minutes, pausing every two minutes to breath, but never letting of each other. When they stopped they both laid down on the floor, Lilly in Lucias's arms. Lilly kissed him quickly once more before they slowly fell into a long and peaceful sleep, looking into each others caring eyes as they did. They both spoke the same words before they finally succumbed to slumber.
“I will never leave you.”
As the day rolled on Lilly and Lucias remained sleeping until the night came. The house slowly became dark as the two just lay on the floor in each others arms, breathing lightly as she slept. But once the moon was high in the sky Lucias awoke, his eyes glowing slightly as he felt the need to feed growing on him. As he attempted to get up he saw Lilly still sleeping peacefully next to him, her hair spread out behind her head like a lake of golden silk. Lucias simply smiled as he attempted to ignore the now dull pain that was growing in him, and laid back down, just looking at Lilly's face happily.
Lilly's eyes then started to open, her shining azure eyes betraying some kind of disappointment, until she saw Lucias lying next to her, her eyes then became full of joy as a smile slowly grew on her face. Lucias smiled back at her, slowly running his hand through her long yellow hair, his face fixed with love as he stared into her eyes.
Lilly slowly sat up, her face showing no signs of fatigue. Her smile widened as she opened her mouth to speak.
“You need to feed again.” Her voice was manipulative and mildly seductive as she spoke, putting her left arm around Lucias, put keeping her right arm by her side. “Come on, admit it, you need to feed, you want to feed.” She stopped and pulled herself closer to Lucias, now wrapping her right arm around him as she shook her head, knocking the hair away from her throat. “You want to feed, on me.” Her smile grew again as she took her right arm off him, moving it slowly to be in front of his face. Instead of offering herself to him, this time she put her left arm around his head, pushing his face towards her wrist.
Lucias did not fight against her, he opened his mouth and willingly punctured her skin, blood seeping out of the wound and on to Lilly's almost pure white skin. Lilly now stopped pushing him and started to gently stroke his hair just as he had stroked her own. Her smile grew ever wider as she felt him bite deeper into her wrist and she began to feel his tongue attempting to take more blood from the slowly growing wound on Lilly's wrist. Lilly felt a small amount of pain as the wound began to grow.
Lilly just kept stroking Lucias's long and jet black hair as he fed from her, knowing that Lucias would stop before the wound became a problem. He didn't. Lilly began to feel faint as more and more blood was drained by Lucias. Her skin became paler and paler, she began to look extremely ill. She began to feel weak and she attempted to call out, but her voice came out no louder then a whisper.
“Lucias, stop...” She began to look desperate.
“But, I'm still so hungry. But don't worry, I'll stop before it causes harm.” He looked up just as he spoke, his eyes glowing that orangery red again, his skin grey and his fangs seemingly longer then before. He quickly rammed his fangs back into her wrist, making two new puncture wounds, still licking the blood from the wound desperately.
Lilly began to lose the ability to stand up as she became very weak. She fell but Lucias caught her. He pulled his fangs from her wrist and licked what little blood there was left seeping from the wounds before laying her down gently on the settee, smiling slightly.
“I told you I would not harm you, I love you too much Lilly.” His skin became white again, almost as if he commanded it to, but his eyes remained bright red as he was still absorbing the blood. He looked down at Lilly as she looked at her weakly gazing into Lucias's eyes. She attempted to speak but she couldn't. “Don't worry, you will be fine, just rest for a while.” He smiled sweetly at her as he said those words in a sincere tone.
Lilly smiled as she slowly fell into an untroubled slumber, safe knowing now that Lucias would never leave her. Lucias knelt down and kissed her once more before he left the main room heading towards the door, his skin returning to the grey colour of his blood thirst. He walked quickly towards the front door, walking through it and shutting it silently.
His eyes grew brighter as he turned around, pulling his hat down slightly to cover his eyes to hide the bright glow. He smiled widely as he began to walk away showing his fangs, which now completely dominated his teeth. He began to speak to himself as he quickly stepped away from his home, his voice a mixture of anger, impatience and happiness.
“It's not enough.” His pace quickened as he began to feel the pain in his gut from hunger, although he had just fed, he still needed blood. His eyes lit up further as he walked towards The Scarlet rose, in a desperate attempt to try and get control of his blood hunger. He began to stop walking and begin to run as the pain continued to grow. He began to feel confused, he had never needed to feed this badly, the confusion made worse by the fact he had only moments ago drank a large amount of blood. Soon he fell, clutching his stomach from the pain of the growing hunger inside of him. A woman came towards him, offering to help him out of the kindness of her heart. She got no real reply, all she was given for her kindness was a pair of long pearly white fangs in her throat and a feeling of euphoria as she slowly got all of her blood drained from her as she died slowly.
