The Vampire Prince (Loneiy x Eyes)

[loneiysong]

She had never been liked. Never. In fact, just because of who her grandmother was, her mother was dispised, and then the trickle down all the way to her. Her grandmother, Raven, the one she was named after, was a medicine woman. A child had become very ill when taking her medicine and died. The town had cast her out to the outskirts of the village. Deemed her an unclean. Her grandmother had been pregnant with her mother.

Her mother, Bea, was not liked at all. She begged adn nearly starved to death several times. So at the time of Raven's death, Bea began to find that the knights would pay for sex. Her mother had concieved Raven when in th arms of a commander who found her company and even sent a few good coins to Bea. But eventually, when Raven was four, the commander was married and her mother killed herself. A broken heart was too painful to bear. Then that was when Raven promised never to fall in love or become the victim.

Raven had learned quickly how to use her charm to disarm her victims and cut the purses from their belts. She was really good. More than once she framed the fat wife of a commander with teh coin purse of a lord. She had also made the children of the fat wife eat bugs and worms unknowingly. Raven lived alone, and no one would care. She didn't. Raven cared very little. In the middle of the night on some full moons she would run through the village terrorizing the town drunkards so sometimes they would run into the river and drown.

Raven spread the rumor that her grandmother and mother were angry spirits and would exact their revenge when the moon was full and the prince of the kingdom bid them rise from their graves. People seemed honestly in fear of the prince, so they began putting out gold and valuables in front of the prince's kingdom gates before the full moon. But the prince never recieved them. Raven did.

Raven was now a very beautiful young lady. She stood 5'7 and more often than not stayed to herself, cutting the purses of travelers, drowning the occassional drunk and always feeding the fat wife and her children bugs. Some habits die hard. Raven was sitting on her porch in the middle of the day, eating an apple and let a booted foot swing back and forth. Her black hair blowing in teh breeze as her amber eyes watched the trail. It was getting dark, but she had no where else to be. Black clothes clung to her form as she watched the path carefully every once and a while taking a bite of an apple.

 

[Eyesoffire]

It had been ages since he'd felt this stirring, this presence, someone who could be like him, someone who deviated from the path, someone he needed, he craved and hungered for. Crispin sat upon his throne of cold stone, massive slabs hewn out of the rock. His arms were out in front of him, covering the length of the arm rests, specifically tailored to his body, for he was expected to live forever. Crispin's tall, leaned and hardened body was slouched upon his throne, his short, dark hair was virtually flawless, his face clean-shaven to reveal angular, handsome features. He'd been dormant for some time, a month, maybe more and his one base desire stirred him. His need to feed was trivial compared to this, he didn't care about the humans near his home, though he understood they could be dangerous.

Crispin could feel it, this person just waiting to come to his side, see things from his point of view. he eyes flashed open, grey pupils looked around them room. It was a woman. Perfect, even better. Crispin grinned, revealing the tip of his right fang. He moved, pulling himself out of the throne after a long sleep. It was time to change things, time to finally move on with who he was, and what he could become. A prince, there was no doubt, he had a castle to himself, rooms of treasure and weapons that dated back farther than human records themselves, all of which were now covered in dust and cobwebs, he had no use for any of them. But he needed her to complete everything, to truly be a lord among his own kind. He would find her, take her, and make her his own.

His eyes darted to the side and caught a speck of sunlight that came in through a crack in an old window. This was the only thing dangerous to him within his own house, but it was useful, he could tell when it was safe. The castle he lived in was built upon the edge of a cliff overlooking the town and the dark woods that surrounded it. A perpetual fog covered the trail leading to the gates of his keep and it was said that wolves prowled the area around it every single night. Wolves hungry for blood. Crispin would wait, he'd wait until he had the advantage over her. He'd wait until the moon was out.

When his time came he moved silently, swiftly, cutting through the fog in the dead of night. No wolves disturbed him. Crispin passed the river and saw an old, ruined hat washed up by the bank, he grinned to himself.
He entered the town. He could feel her presence nearby. Crispin walked about, as if there was not a care in the world. He moved away from the houses, followed his impulse in different directions. And then he found her, alone on this still, quiet, moon-lit night. he kept his distance for a moment before taking a step towards her and smiling down at her. "Hello." He said, his voice smooth and intelligent as ever. "Nice night for a drowning, don't you think?" He asked quietly.

 

[loneiysong]

She looked up hearing something along the path. No, hearing wasn't the correct word. What she experienced was more than a sensory feeling. She just knew he was coming. Canting her head, she took in his clothes. He was dressed like a royal, but something about this one was special. She tossed her apple away and frowned deeper as he asked her about drowning.

"You may try to drown me sir, but I am much more capable of surviving your worst." She said matter of factly. She drowned drunks. She loved to watch their panicked eyes as they tried to struggle for the surface. Their wives were no worse off for it either. The men would drink and come home and beat their wives or just drink away the money. She didn't care, all the villagers deserved one another.

Raven looked at him and curled a leg under her body taking him in. Wise man, he didn't travel with any valuables in her site. She looked up at him and wiped her hands on her pants and leaned back looking into his eyes.

"So, you are obvioiusly a well trained prince. You travel with no jewelry, no money purses, and the only thing of value you wear are your clothes. So tell me, why is it that you show up on my property and make such a strange statement." She looked him over again. He was very handsome and she wouldn't mind a roll in the hay with this man. Maybe if she did that, seh would make off with his clothes and sell them in the market. Such finely made clothes could fetch a pretty gold piece for sure.

 

[Eyesoffire]

Crispin looked around, taking in the darkness, his eyes could see perfectly, no light to blind him, no sun to kill him, this was the night, his time, his people's time and he knew he could take full advantage of it if he wished.

But he didn't...not yet.

Crispin turned back to the woman and smiled a little. "I didn't know princes were trained." He said slowly. "If if they are then I'm sure I'm the worst...not a single guard around me and not a single weapon upon me." He said, locking eyes with the woman. Let him look into his eyes, perhaps she'll guess who he truly was, or perhaps she'll want to get to know him a lot more...personally. Either way Crispin would be happy to oblige her, after all, she was the one he'd been searching for.

"I don't feel that the message is so strange as you're the one who's been doing the drowning." Crispin said, yes, he could feel how different she was, the hat was merely the clue that confirmed it. "I was merely stating that since it is nice and warm out, tonight would be a great night for you to indulge yourself in one of your favourite activities." Crispin said, smiling at her as he tilted his head to the side.

 

[loneiysong]

Raven looked into the prince's eyes and smiled. She shrugged and felt her smile grow even more mischievous. She leaned back adn looked him over. "I am sure you could manage juts as well without a weapon or a guard. But forgive me if I do not get up and courtsey." She said and waved him off as if she was the princess and he were the commoner. She then looked at him and grinned broader.

"Yes, that is true. I will not lie. The drunkards have become afraid and stay mostly at home. But when they think it will not happen to them, they will slowly ease back into their comfort and that is when I will start to drown again. Suffice it to say, the tavern is not doing too well this night." She smiled and looked up hearing the drunken song of a traveler coming along the path and grinned and looked up at him. "Of course, the fates seem to enjoy my treachery so I will be off." Standing up, she took off cutting around the man who was a traveler drinking and singing down the road.

 

[Eyesoffire]

Her soon-to-be actions had certainly caught Crispin's interest and he silently watched the woman move away from him. Something about the way she dismissed him had him even more attracted to her, as if he'd been longing for a woman who was so confident in herself that she knew she was not going to fall for his charm all the time. It made her all the more desirable.

Crispin quietly slipped into the shadows and watched the woman work, his grin was upon his face the entire time. Yes, he knew that the man would die, but did he care? Not in the slightest. The moon illuminated much of the land this night, but not al of it, and Crispin's grey eyes trailed the woman's movements quietly. He wondered if she was really capable of murder, and whether she knew what she was doing was actually evil. Did she drown them by throwing them in the river? Or did she actually hold them under the water? Could she truly be someone he could rule with?

These questions plagued him and he found that the more he asked himself, the more the wanted to be nearer to her, to talk to her and even touch her.

 

[loneiysong]

Raven was collecting small rocks. What she did was panic the people into the water. She reveled in the fear in their eyes. She drank it in and savored it. She loved making others to be the victim that she was forced to be so many times growing up. She pulled from her belt a slingshot and grabbed a sharp rock and pulled it back. It let fly and the man screamed and then turned around watching. His eyes were panicked. Raven pulled the rock back and hit the man square in teh eye.

With a scream, the man took off running as his eye was bleeding. She took chase and slowly herded him to the river. The drunk was so sure that the water would come back up soon but slowly ran and then the sudden drop had him struggling. Raven smiled and stood on the shore watching her hands on her hips. He screamed out to her but suddenly was under water for longer and longer. Finally no more bubbles came up.

Raven turned and began to walk back with a wide grin on her lips.

 

[Eyesoffire]

"Cruel." Crispin said as he closed the space between them. "What drew me to you was your difference, your ability to stand out, turn your back on what's expected of you and change the present to suit yourself in the future...would you agree?" He said, moving a little closer. "I mean to say that you're exactly what I need, someone who isn't afraid of the darkness because I know it's in your soul and you know it as well, don't you?" He whispered. Crispin looked away from her, out at the lands beyond. "let me guess, you past has pain in it, no one's liked you." He looked back at her. "Why else would you kill needlessly?"

Then to moved closer a little more, just one more step. "What if I told you that you could become something more then just human, and not only that, these lands, all of it will bow down to you...how does that make you feel?" He whispered. "You were right to guess that I'm a prince, and though you might not have seen me you do know what I am, and I'm sure the townspeople have somehow given you information of my visits to the outlying farms surrounding this village." He watched her quietly for a moment. "Are you interested in what I have to say?"

 

[loneiysong]

Raven looked up at him and then looked at him and crossed her arms and sighed. She didn't answer but watched him move closer. "Yes, I have darkness in my soul. I always try to feed it but it always just keeps pulling stuff and the endless void just keeps eating it." She watched him. She looked out at where the man had been driven. "Like now, I feel content, but in a few days, I will feel an empty howling within my breast." She sighed and then nodded at his question and then continued to walk but then when he stepped closer.

"More than human? Would you bow to me?" She grinned widely. "The idea certainly has the appeal. I have heard rumors, but I do not think you are a monster, because if you were I would have noticed your work." She said and then looked at him and then smiled. She couldn't help herself. "Yes I am interested."

She couldn't help it but felt the squeal of excitement deep in her breast.

 

[Eyesoffire]

"You want to satisfy the darkness within you, fill the void?" Crispin questioned. "I can help you do that, I can make you help yourself, you won't have to use rocks, but your own bare hands." Crispin took one more step closer and placed a hand gently on her hip. "It was what was within you that brought me to you...your need for satisfaction, to be who you really are and to fulfil every single one of your deepest, darkest desires." His other hand moved to her own hand and held it gently as well. "I would not bow to you, and you would not bow to me, we would be equals in all things." Crispin could sense the blood flowing in her neck, blood he craved at the moment, yet he didn't try to take it, not at this point.

"You said you've never seen my work...perhaps I could show it to you, if you'd like to see it..." He whispered, he could feel the heat from her body. "if you do wish to join with me."

 

[loneiysong]

"Yes I want to satisfy the void. I want to be able to not have to use rocks but my own hands. You have intrigued me." SHe whispered and smiled wider at him. She moved closer as she felt his touch and took his hand and listened to him and smiled. She nodded a bit. "It would be nice to have an equal. I would like to see your work too. You have seen mine, it is only fair don't you think?" She smiled adn stepped closer and looked into his eyes and whispered. Her lips inches away from his.

 

[Eyesoffire]

Crispin moved his head forwards slowly, he felt her lips brush against his own, they were soft, warm lips that he hungered to taste. Though he could not just yet. In the light of the moon he closed to gap between their bodies, he could feel her chest against his own, the heat she emitted and how she felt to the touch. Her hand was smooth and young and the sound of her heartbeat was a strong drum that played in the night. She wanted to see what he had to offer, his own work and she would. But it wouldn't be just a display of what he did, she would partake in it, she would understand what he'd go through to do it.

"This...is my work." He whispered, his lips brushing against her own as he spoke. His mouth opened and he moved his head, gliding her lips over her skin so she could feel them ever so slightly. They stopped at her neck and Crispin kissed her, he licked her skin and tasted it, pulling her hips closer to his own before he opened his mouth wider and sank his fangs into her neck.

her blood came out, as predicted. It tasted so good, so sweet, so warm. He drank, holding her close. Pressing his body against her own as he satisfied his hunger. His tongue lapped it up, he loved it, every single drop. And just before she was close to death Crispin pulled away and licked his lips to look down at her face. His fangs remained red. "You are mine..." He whispered to her, "You've lost a lot of blood and you will fall asleep. Don't fight it...when you wake up, we'll talk some more."

When she was asleep Crispin easily carried her to his castle, to his very room and laid her down upon his own massive bed and watched over the woman until she awoke.

 

[loneiysong]

Raven blushed as she kissed him. She wasn't sure why, she just felt herself being drawn to him. She moved in closer to him as he pulled her close. Wrapping her arms around him, she shut her eyes. She gripped the soft but sturdy cloth of his shirt and groaned as she felt a warmth that was far too alien to her pool in the depth of her stomach. She blushed feeling his lips on her skin. Moving to her neck.

He was doing something heavenly to her skin. She loved the lick and the tasting. She gasped and rolled her eyes up as she came just by his bite on her neck. She whimpered gently as she felt him taking long pulls of blood from her neck. Panting, she began to tremble and slowly collapsed into his arms. Her legs were too weak to hold herself up. The world spun and shifted as if to shake her off. Looking up at him, her chest slowly raised and fell as she watched him.

When he finished, she fell into a deep sleep. She was in hell, she was sure of it. She was burning alive the villagers watching her and cursing her name. She struggled throwing her head back gasping for air that would not come. Looking up, she watched him watch her from a tower. She began to gasp for air fighting.

This was the time that she was sweating profusely in bed. She shifted weakly groaning and gasping on bed. The first stages of turning into a vampire. The vampire virus was snaking its way through her body bringing about death so she could be born anew.

 

[Eyesoffire]

Crispin only silently watched her, a silver knife by his bed and the chair he was sitting in. His silence was absolute, the only sound from the room came from the woman's movements and groans. He'd felt her body shake when he bit her, though he hadn't expected her to be sexually gratified when he bit her. Crispin leaned into the bed, moving closer to her sleeping form. He moved his lips over her body and began to suck some more. Her body was fighting the death that the vampire virus brought, he needed to ensure she would die so she could be brought back as a vampire.

Crispin sucked some more, pinning her hands to the bed with his own as he pulled his lips back. Her blood dripped onto her own neck and chin, then to her lips. Crispin sat back in the chair and watched, licking clean her delicious blood from her lips.

 

[loneiysong]

Raven groaned when he came to the bed. She weakly tried to push him off. It was the human in her tryign to push him off. But when he drank she moaned adn was both aroused and terrified even though she was not conscious enough to know what was going on. She opened her eyes and just watched him. Her eyes were glazed and she felt her blood dripping on her lips and chin. She watched him move away.

The second phase set in which was the death rattle. It was in this stage that the vampire virus would push through her system making her the perfect hunter. Both beautiful and deadly. Her hair would get a healthy sheen, her nails would become stronger and shine. Her body would become pale and her eyes would change. She continued to watch him took tired to fight anymore.

 

[Eyesoffire]

Crispin watched over the woman as she changed, a confident smirk upon his face. He didn't dare take any more blood, to do so would result in her complete death, she wouldn't turn at all. He needed to let the virus take her life, not his insatiable hunger. His eyes moved over her body as she changed, every curve and square inch of her, viewing her evolution. He even gently trailed his finger up and down her arm, feeling the muscle growth within. She was getting stronger, no doubt she'd be faster, quieter and hungrier.

Crispin's eyes were fixed on the blood drops that landed upon the woman's chin and lips. He stared at them for a long while and them moved before it dried. He licked up the droplet on her chin and moved to her lips, sucking it off, but before he knew it he was sucking her lip. Even now she still had that sweet taste, that one human quality no vampire had. She tasted like a human and he blood would be the same. Though he wouldn't drink from her from now on he sucked once more on her lip and closed his eyes.

Why did she taste so good?

 

[loneiysong]

Her eyes closed feeling the sucking sensation. Then she was falling. She was falling falling and there was no end in sight. She woke up but it was dark. Her eyes opened, they were the same honey, but now they wre like amber. Looking at him she felt her breasts, how perky and perfect without a corset, she looked up at him and suddenly something felt different. Very different. Rolling onto her side, she began the third and final stage. It was her body purging everythign that was once human in her body. Running to a corner, she shut her eyes and groaned. She vomited and her organs cleansed themselves. She was now a hungry child. Standing up, she looked at her beautiful fingers. Her scars and bruises all healed over for porcelain skin.

Looking up at Crispin, she grinned widely, her incisors were sharp and ready for the feast. She looked out the window, she could hear every little noise from teh village. With a growl she went to the window and jumped up and looked back one last time at the prince and smiled wider, but before she knew what she was doing, she jumped from the window and realized half way down she jumped from a window and began to panic. She twisted and landed on her legs breaking them.

She gasped and then leaned back as her legs were twisted and broken and looked up wondering what the hell got a hold of her. But then the heartbeats overwhelmed her agian and she began to crawl for the village salivating.

 

[Eyesoffire]

Crispin dashed to the window, he looked down to see the woman crawling away, no doubt she'd broken her legs, she wasn't fully changed yet. She was weak, she needed to feed and one body would do it. He jumped out behind her and landed with a thud on the ground. Years of being a vampire had made him immensely strong and the jump was nothing. But to her, to her it was dangerous. "You need blood." He said to the woman, walking calmly behind her. "Any blood." He place a hand on her shoulder and flipped her so that she was on her back looking up at her. He could see her saliva, the hunger in her eyes. He mounted her body and pinned her to the ground.

"You're weak...look at you." He smiled down at her. "Here." Crispin raised his arm but noticed the silver knife had been left in the room. He raised his other hand and sighed. He'd have to do it the hard way. He sliced a cut in his wrist and held it down over her mouth, squeezing his hand, letting the blood drip onto her lips. "Drink it...you need blood to heal you injuries." He explained. "And you need mine more specifically. So drink everything I give you."

 

[loneiysong]

Raven heard the thud, she growled as he called her weak. She gasped as she was flipped onto her back and looked up at him and panted. She spread her legs instinctually needed blood and sex. She reached out and growled to him. But when he sliced his wrist, she saw the blood. Reaching out, she wrapped her fingers around his wrist and began to drink. Rolling her eyes, she groaned to him and continued to drink shutting her eyes. Enjoying the taste and the power. Her bones crunched and moved back into place and resolidified.

Pulling back she ran her tongue along the wound, her tongue dipping into the wound but then she turned to suckle on it agian groaning opening her eyes and watching him moaning softly.

 

[Eyesoffire]

Crispin got off of her and helped her up. "You want more, don't you?" He said quietly, already feeling his wound starting to heal. Her blood had seen to that. "You hunger for it, am I right?" He whispered to her, his free hand sliding down the side of her body to her hips. He turned her around towards the town. "One..." He whispered in her ear. "Only one tonight..." He said carefully, almost dangerously. "Do it any way you want, man, woman, it doesn't matter. Enjoy yourself. Drain it all and come back to me...always come back to me." He pushed her gently away from him and towards the town.

 

[loneiysong]

Raven gasped as she was pulled to her feet. She looked at him and licked her lips and teeth. She had not spilled a bit. She licked her lips that now begged to be kissed. She nodded adn looked at him. She rolled her eyes and moaned to his touch. She looked at the glittering lights fo the town and growled low. She heard his rules and she bared her fangs snarling. She was an animal driven crazy for want.

When she was released, she was off like a flash. She was running and knew her target. She sneaked into the house looking around. It was the commanders house. She looked at the fat wife and stepped forward. To kill the commander would be to kill her own father. So she moved to the fat woman adn climbed on top of her and bit sharp and quick into her neck drinking fast at first. But when she began to moan, she drank slower and slower. Drinking all she wanted. She swallowed and pulled back when no more blood came up. Standing up, she pulled the woman over her shoulder and walked into the river and laughed as she looked at her. She dropped her into the water and when she didn't sink. she began to rip off her limbs one by one throwing them deep to the water and when she was fully separated, she sat down and looked at the sky.

She stood up, and walked back to the castle feeling so stuffed and full. She was a bit late coming back, but she was sure he didn't care. She blushed thinking of him. She didn't even know his name, but to be fair, he didn't know hers.

 

[Eyesoffire]

Crispin was on his throne when she came back, the front doors led straight into the the massive hallway that lead to the throne room. She couldn't miss it. When she entered his eyes opened and he stared at her for a while. Silent and brooding. Then he smiled. "Funny...you did not have to come back." Crispin said, getting up. "I drank you blood, made you into a one of my kind. If we stop the explanation there by all rights you're my slave, you bring me food, you clean my things and you keep me company in bed." He walked slowly towards the woman. "But when you drank my own blood, that bond was broken, you're free...and it happened to you before I told you to come back to me. You could have treated it like...a suggestion...and nothing more." He locked eyes with the woman. "And yet...you obeyed." He smelled the air, he smelled the blood she'd drank.

"Did it feel good? Did it taste good?" He asked her quietly in the vastness of the castle.

 

[loneiysong]

Raven was going to walk past him, but when he talked, she looked at him. She thought he was tired and was resting his eyes. She was going to go someplace else, btwhen he spoke, she smiled and moved forward. She canted her head and crossed her arms in front of him. She watched him and then locked onto his eyes and smiled.

"First of all, I couldn't stay away. You understand me like so many either can't or won't understand me. I feel this arcane pull to you anyway. For now it behooves me to come back." She smiled adn then licked her lips.

'The sweetest of kills I have ever done." SHe moved around him and sat on his throne and crossed her long shapely legs and grinned wider and canted her head and smiled wider.

 

[Eyesoffire]

"And not your last, I hope." Crispin said, turning to her and eyeing her upon his throne. "You find the throne comfortable?" He asked her quietly, smiling and walking towards her once more. His eyes trailed up her legs, those gorgeous legs he wanted to nestle himself between, to feel wrap around his waist.

"And how long will you be...behooved...to come back to me?" He inquired, resting his hand on top of her upon the armrests of his throne. "Or will you not tell me and one day I will be left to guess at your arrival?" he whispered to her. "That's the power I've given you...I kept my promise. You might be wondering why, it's simple...as humans once put it...maybe I'm feeling a little bit...lonely?" He said playfully before he grinned wickedly.

 

[loneiysong]

She smiled and shook her head. "Far from my last." She smiled and then leaned back. "Not as comfortable as a warm bath. But it is fine for the moment." She looked up at him as he walked close. She uncrossed her legs to cross them the other way just to tease him and canted her head looking up at him.

"I am not sure. In my history of my life, I have learned quickly not to trust anyone but myself. I cannot tell you when i will come back to you. It will happen one day though probably." She smiled and looked at his hand on hers and reached out and put her hand on his and looked up at him as he whispered to her and smiled.

"It is a grand promise and I thiank you for it." She smiled and and reached out stroking his face. "Maybe I myself am lonely as well." She whispered and looked at him.
