Vampyr: Tale of the Crimson Empire [Closed]

[Dark_Nova]

Deep within the unrecorded era of the dark ages a once great empire thrived. It was an empire based solely off of the collection of blood, immortals that herded around humans like they were cattle. It was the empire of vampyr. The vampires that ruled vampyr were powerful beings, cursed by the heavens, and gifted for it beyond belief. They held their positions through a strange hierarchy based government, highly aristocratic. Most matters were solved diplomatically, though any matter that could not be was well resolved at the tip of a sword.

As great as their lofty empire was, it was still highly flawed. The vampires had an innate weakness toward sunlight, literally burning within it's radiance. For this matter they specially bred with humans, creating hybrid watchers to guard them in the daylight. This worked well, their guard dogs did their job, and were happy with it; for a while. The hungry half-breeds came under a leader eventually, one that spoke truth of how they could rise up above their masters. It started with a single palace, the watchers storming it in the night, and spread on until word followed.

This war of the species caught word onto other provinces, and the gifted countess that was to be their next target caught on. She devised a plan, armed her soldiers, and made well sure that her watchers knew their place. In the instant that their would be leader came through her doors to speak with his brethren, he was caught, bound and captured. Sealed up within a secret chamber, the young Countess kept him there as a reminder to all watchers. Her message spoke.

Never rise up above your cast.
Never hunger for the power that is ours.
And above all else.
Keep your eyes on the day.

The message spoke clear, and since that fateful day the half-breeds have acted as their masters bid. Now however war looms just over the horizon. The great heroine whom stopped the half-breed rebellion has rose to empress, and under her iron rule the half-breeds chafe again. The nobles search to gain dominance over each other, a situation that beckons civil war. Caught amidst this strife and chaos rests the fate of all; though more than that, it holds with it the fate of a forbidden love.

Alexandra shot her gaze to the heart of the watcher before her, his report causing her eyes to narrow with distaste as she listened to his troubling words. "Milady, the watchers from the eastern keep have sent their demands. It seems Lord Alister is no more..." Said the watcher, his posture one of caution as he allowed his words to trail off. It was a gesture that he hoped would make sure his mistress knew he held no thoughts of trading like his brethren at east keep.

Alexandra, however, sighed with frustration as his report sunk in. "It seems we've no choice then; send out the shadow blades. We recapture the keep ourselves." She ordered, her eyes flaring as the young scouts face contorted in disbelief. "But-But Milady; surely you realize that such an action could lose the entire squadron." He plead, though she wouldn't have it. "Don't question it!" She commanded, her eyes sharply on his; a dare to challenge her once more.The man merely nodded, and his next set of words came out in a whisper. "As you wish, Milady."

Alexandra smiled at his obedience, and she sighed as he turned from her to walk toward the chamber doors. That's one more thing to go wrong this morning. She thought to herself, collectively remembering the string of bad news, and occurrences that had already cursed this day. First she had received her cousins denial for aid, and next a challenge for territory from the neighboring province of Shade, and now this. Things seemed to keep turning for the worse.

Alexandra's thoughts took a turn for the better however, as from the doorway stepped in her second in command. She smiled widely as he pushed through the double doors, carrying over his shoulder a rather wiry looking half-breed. She inhaled deeply as the prisoners scent wafted into the room, and immediately she recognized the blood of east keep that ran through the man's veins. "So, tell me we have some redeeming news." She asked her general as she let her tongue trace over the corner of her lips; a smile fresh on her features as she awaited his response.

[Eternal_Blade]

The day was dreary as rain fell from the heavens to curse him, as if telling him he was damned. Lightning cracked the sky as a mountain of wolf headed humanoids rushed towards the gate he had been commanded to guard. He held no weapons, and was dressed in rags that had seen at least ten or more other battles this week. He however didn't have time to think on it as he knew that the beast in front of him were seeking his life blood, the very essence that kept him alive.

On top of this they also sought the gate behind him, the only reason he was out here was the weak positioning of this sealed door that was in its own right a tactical disposition. He growled as the creatures neared, and rushed forwards. He stopped short of the creatures knowing they were trying to draw him out a little more as he would snap the chain around his neck taught causing him to fall on his back. They barked at him, attempting to coerce him into their advantage, but he did not take the bait they so readily offered.

They however did not have enough patience to wait for long, and soon tried to rush him, as lightning once again broke the silence as if giving them a signal that it was time to attack. The half breed could not help but believe that the heavens had truly cursed him this day, and this would finally be his last battle after ten years of fighting. The first attacked with a bite that the quick half breed side stepped as it was probably the most predictable attack that any of these beast could launch. The next came on hard with claws barred, and hatred pouring from his soul, and leaking from his eyes.

The half breed that was the only watcher guarding this particular wall grabbed it's hand by the wrist twisting it hard causing a sickening crack to resonate thought the area. He moved the beast to look at its brethren, and with a wicked smile he slammed his other hand against the palm of this wolf mans open claw. Bone splintered and from the elbow of the beast shot forth the creatures forearm splitting into two distinct pieces. They flew hard but not necessarily accurate as the first couple of targets ducked the attacks easily but the second two were hit just seconds afterward. Their howls erupted into the air, along with a another jerking sound of lightning...

Lightning jolted him from his reverie as Raven gazed forward, looking at his scouts that were now returning with the information he sought. As they neared him he noted that the dark colored leather armor they wore was bloodstained, though he couldn't tell if it was from feeding or from battle. "Sir; we have seen the enemy force at the Eastern Keep. It has taken severe losses, and is does not appear to be in as good of condition as the reports implied. Further more the fortress was almost destroyed in the fighting, and I believe a counter attack soon would either force them to flee or in the least would be an easy win." Her words were fluent even if she had just ridden hard for more than an hour, and he didn't doubt it with this one. She was everything a vampire could want in a watcher, obedient, resourceful, and efficient. It was exactly what everyone seemed to think of him, but was it true.

This uprising had stirred thoughts in his head, memories that he thought he had pushed away. However now that other half breeds were beginning an uprising, thoughts of his own earlier life were causing him to doubt his loyalty. He looked to the loyal female scout known as scarlet, a name no doubt given to her in convenience as it was hard to miss her scarlet locks, and even harder to forget them.

"We'll leave them be for now, let them get to repairs, if they even feel they need to make any. I have a feeling this is a trap, carefully laid with the thought that we'll see the crumbling fortress as a weakness." His words were spoken with authority, but of course Scarlet did not see him as her commanding officer even though she was his subordinate. "BUT SIR! They're ready for the taking I can smell it; victory could be so easily garnered!" Her out burst did not even surprise Raven as he waved his hand for her to follow, after all she was loyal to the countess they served; not him. The other scouts around her began to move out following their general, and soon she followed in suit though she held steaming rage in her eyes as he had just made her look like the girl she was.

They made it a few miles before what raven had suspected came to be seen in the full view of twilight. A number of half breed covering their scent in herbs, sprung from the forest with swords, and axes barred. Raven however just had his men stop their horses, before the traitors could scare them into throwing their riders. He drew his sword, and jumped from his steed. Scarlet of course did not follow his order, and rushed her mount towards the traitors. Though just as Raven anticipated they attacked the mount, and as it recoiled it threw Scarlet from her perch. "V formation, if possible we take them alive. Avoid the hearts!" Raven rushed towards them forming the point for the V formation he had spoke of and just as he had expected they attempted to retreat once his men were organized. The V formation he had crafted however was just for that purposes, and his men swooped outwards like swans breaking formation from the flock. This formation allowed them to rush out without giving an advantage to fleeing opponents.

Raven turned to make sure the mounts were fine, while he assumed that his men would not be able catch them as they fled into the forest. As he moved by Scarlet he heard a cry escape her lips, and looked down at her. "Well it looks like you'll live; though maybe next time you'll listen to me when I give you an order." His words were calm as he leaned down throwing her now dead horse from her legs. He heard the snap of bone as her regeneration took effect, and simply stood back up assured that he hadn't lost any men yet.

It was then however that a secondary attack that Raven had not anticipated came forth apparently seeking his heart as two assassins attacked him on either side. They emerged from the shadows with twin daggers in hand, and with a double piercing strike that to all appearances pierced his heart. Raven however was not so green as to be caught unprepared as years of fighting had honed his senses to pick of barely audible noises, however these assassins were very stealthy, and so he had barely been able to twist his form so that the blades missed his heart, and other vital areas completely.

Raven then twisted away from the weapons tearing them out of his body to let his regeneration take care of his bleeding wounds as he drew forth his own sword. The assassins didn't seem to be willing to let their job remain unfinished, and came forward duel daggers twisting and trying to make it past his defenses. His sword however was longer, and even together they were not half the warrior he was. With a deft horizontal slash of his longsword he had their daggers parried, and then he shifted the weight from his left foot to his right, and spun on the ball of his heel bringing his sword across the throats of the assassins. One of them however did manage to back step from the attack, and took only a nick while the other lost his head from the powerful attack.

Raven looked upon the other assassin, and shook his head as the half breed attempted to run away. He however did not make it past Scarlet who's leg had fully healed while the fighting took place. She kicked him in the groin, and slammed her palm into his sternum effectively knocking the traitor unconscious. It was then that the other men were returning from the woods all alive though all with minor wounds. "Lets move out; Scarlet you saddle up with one of the other men, and I'll take care of our prisoner.

+++

Once back in the city he had sent one of his men to give the countess the report though he had returned telling Raven that the countess was in convene with one of her own scouts, or so the man guessed. Raven had dismissed the soldier, and interrogated his prisoner after bathing. He had garnered more than a few surprising bits of information that he decided to have the assassin tell the countess.

He was carrying the traitor over his shoulder as he moved through the corridor coming to the double doors of her audience chamber, and could hear the sound of her frustration from down the hall as a rather seedy looking half breed whom raven did not recognize passed by quickly.

Alexandra's eyes and smile lit up as he walked through the door carrying the man, and as she spoke he shrugged slightly. "You might call it that; it's useful to say the least." His calm tones held a little more respect as he entered her audience hall, and dropped the bound and bloodied half breed to the cold stone floor. "Tell her what you told me." The half breed on the floor looked up at him the utmost hate even as raven spoke in calm tones, asking the man to merely repeat what he had already said. "Never blood lover." The insult was obviously supposes to mean something to Raven however his time chained to a wall had limited his access to other half breeds, and thus the insults that flew between them.

He looked up to the countess, and smiled slightly before his hand reached down gripping the mans shoulder causing blood to flow freely from an odd wound that was barley noticeable. The traitors scream was heard wide as it sunk into the hearts of the countesses staff, and possibly the countess herself. it was not only one of pain, but one that also spoke of a general fear of life. "ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT!" Raven released the wound, and it shut, but seemed to refuse to seal completely. "I am not one of the the watchers from Eastern Keep; they have all been slain. We fed on them during the day so that their masters would not know the difference just by the smell. We then poisoned the food of the vampires, and formed shadows over the keep to make it look like it was taken by storm." The mans words came out quickly, and Raven hand went to half breeds shoulder again. "Finnish!" Ravens words were fierce as he spoke to the man.

"ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT! I am from the organization known as the pact brothers; we are dedicated to freeing the savior, so that half breeds may rule the empire that is their birth rite!" The half breed seemed a little weak at this point however Raven knew the man had not even been pushed as far as physically possible speaking volumes to how new he must have been to the fanatical cult. "There you have it milady, though I'm not sure I would call it redeeming news." His words were still calm despite the storm that raged inside his own mind over this new situation, it rung hollow that the man would spill everything after only four hours of torture, but at the same time it caused raven to wonder; was it possible for the half breed to rule? He looked at the countess as the man below him was on his knees looking to the ground at her feet.

[Dark_Nova]

As Raven's words filled the room, Alexandra narrowed her eyes. Surely it was hard for most to notice it, but this was a gesture she made when puzzled. How interesting. She thought to herself as she gestured with her hand for him to continue with the report, her eyes narrowing more as the man beneath him refused to speak. She was about to rise from her throne when Raven pushed his fingers into the prisoners flesh, coaxing blood from a barely visible wound upon the man's shoulder; an action that loosened his lips for sure.

Alexandra caught his words as they spilled out, and she couldn't stop the pout of her lips that followed them in response. "So your after savior, eh?" She asked the man flat out, his eyes drifting up toward hers for but a moment before he nodded proudly. "How foolish..." She said, rising from her throne as she stepped the few paces it took to bring her before him. "It's such a pity you turned your back on us; you'd have been a fine watcher for sure." She said to the man, her hand extending out to caress his cheek.

The prisoners eyes widened at the action Alexandra took, obviously not expecting even a thread of compassion from the woman. "Take him to the dungeon and bleed him out. We can turn the stored blood into a mixture that can grant me all his memories. We'll find what we need that way." She said to Raven, motioning with her hand for the watchers that surrounded her to take the bound man where she had bid.

Alexandra's eyes turned toward Raven's at that point, glancing back at him as she moved back to sit on the throne. "So, I'm taking it that my personal scouts are showing a lack of wisdom again?" She asked him, titling her head to the side as she awaited his response. It didn't take a genius to notice that Raven was conflicting with something, and just seconds after her words she decided that it was best to abandon the question to implore upon it.

"It seems your troubled?" Alexandra asked before Raven could respond, and she pouted her lips once more as she glanced over his posture. As always his body language hinted at little, a fact she didn't always like about her little gift from the Empress. It was at that point that the chamber doors burst open with yet another disturbance, an action the man performing it was soon to regret.

"What is the meaning of this!" Alexandra snapped at the perpetrator, and the watcher that had just barged in stiffened in response. "Milady, I've brought word from Lord Glenn. He says that he has reconsidered your request for aid, and is sending a contingent of good faith this way as we speak." She bit her bottom lip at the new development, and looked toward Raven for his advice on the matter. "What think you of this?" She asked, eyes on his as she awaited his response.

[Eternal_Blade]

Raven watched as the watchers from the sides of the chamber approached to take the man away, they were all dressed in fine black leathers as was the custom for warriors of Vampyr. They took him away even as he tried feebly to squirm out of the binding that Raven had used. It was then he noted Lady Alexandra looking back at him as she moved back to sit at her throne, and his eyes could not help but roam over her form as she sat down in motion that he could tell to be purposefully seductive.

She spoke to him of her scouts once she had taken her seat. No more than usual. The thought echoing his feelings of her scouts wisdom, but before he could come up with an answer that would be taken well she spoke again this time asking him if he was troubled. "I'm..." Was all he got out before the door burst open, cutting off the rest of his sentence which to him was a blessing at the moment.

The man at the door began to speak quickly of Glen whom was a count to the west, if Raven was correct one of significant power. She then asked Raven his opinion on Glen reconsidering sending more troupes, a question Raven shrugged at before answering. "With all of the recent actions of local politics; what does milady think of her cousins honesty?" He thought on that a second longer, and then spoke one more consideration to make before concluding a decision. "And how did he take his place of power?" His words were even calmer than they had been earlier as he was now giving advice on a subject that did not effect him in the least.

Though the thought of it not effecting him was one that put him off balance when he considered the way she treated him, and all the other watchers under her command. She had taken the chains off, given him a proper place to dwell in, and even a place of some amount of authority. This remembrance coupled with the memories of of his time guarding the capitol had him staggering emotionally. Though the thought that those fanatics were spreading was still a lingering sting in the back of his mind. Can the day time guardians really rule, and even if they could who decides who rules, and who serves? This savior; hm I don't think he'd be any better than the empress herself! His pale blue eyes lit up for just a split second at the last thought as he looked upon his lady who still seemed like she was considering the course which led raven to believe it had not even taken his thoughts a second to fill out.

Though the second helped Raven realign himself to the situation at hand, and of his own side in these tiding events. This was an era that would change those of future generation, and Raven was still unsure of his part if any in all of the current events. Though he was sure of Alexandra's whom had been trying effortlessly to keep the empire together as it tried to pull its self apart, but again that was a two sided serpent as she may not have known it, but he could tell she had aspirations of her own. Though once again this led him to consider his course carefully; to follow her obediently, or to make a leap of his own. A troubling situation that he had yet to completely figure out, but he had made his decision on the pact brotherhood, and their supposed savior.

Raven now listened carefully for his ladies commands as he had at least decided to serve her for now, and serve her he would to the best of his abilities. His thoughts he noted were moving far to quickly which led him to believe that he might have actually been panicking over the troubling events. He however awaited her orders while admiring the deep look in her sapphire eyes, and the way her raven locks fell over her pale complected skin. He then mentally chided himself for this as it would be a quick death for him if he wasn't careful of where he diverted his attention, but she had to be one of the most beautiful women he'd ever seen.

[Dark_Nova]

Alexandra bit her bottom lip as Raven's words registered in her mind. True, it was likely that Glenn would betray her; after all, her cousin was a true wretch of a bastard. In spite of his disposition however, she was forced to at least take the faith; after all, she desperately needed a little assistance. "Fine. Though send some of Scarlet's girls to to warm their beds. I'm sure they will see to it that things end well." She said to Raven, flipping her hair from her face as she giggled lightly to herself.

Alexandra stopped her giggle only a few breaths in, titling her head at Raven's distance. He was always a little withdrawn, but in the least he usually gave a dry remark to one of her statements. "Something truly is wrong." She said to him as she waved her hand dismissively to the watcher whom had brought her the news; his cue to leave. She sighed as Raven seemed to think on the words, and she shook her head. "No worries, we all have things on our mind right now. Take your time." She said to him in a quiet voice.

Normally Alexandra wouldn't have shown such prudence with her words toward a watcher, but this one was different; the way he had come to her said that. She could still remember the day the Empress had sent the message, a letter detailing that she had sent a gift her way. It seemed harmless enough at first, but she recognized what was going on as soon as she had seen the gift. The Empress hadn't sent a charm, but rather what she believed to be a curse.

Alexandra truly had no place to remark on Raven's position either way. To her he seemed to do his job. Still, she could tell that he had a lot weighing in upon him; more so than most in the empire perhaps. "We still have things to do though Raven, I believe we should have the servants ready things for Lord Glenn's subjects. I after all would prefer to be prepared in case things turn for the worse, and with the aristocracy you can never tell." She said to him with a sweet smile: an act reserved for only her most prized of possessions.

After her words, Alexandra stood from her throne. It had been a long night already, and she could feel the morn coming on in her blood. "Early it grows my watcher, and I'm afraid my subtle blood needs to get to bed. Will you come escort me?" She asked him with some playfulness in her eyes; a sight so rarely seen by her subjects. Without waiting for a response she took Raven's arm, and flashed him that luscious smile of hers. "Lead on."

Alexandra was well aware of the vivacious attitude she often had with her subjects, but in her eyes it was to be expected. After all, while needed instruments of the Empire, they were still hers; and she planned to make full use of them. The thoughts passed pleasantly through her mind as she walked with Raven out the chamber doors, and into the hallways. Only now did she realize that perhaps she might have missed a few words he spoke, but she figured if they were important he would repeat them.

[Eternal_Blade]

At his ladies words Raven turned to look at a man that stood behind the other watchers that stood at the chambers doorway, and with a nod from Raven the man turned to fulfill his orders. While Raven had not foreseen Glens involvement he had already anticipated that one noble or another would move in to "help" Lady Alexandra in her time of need, and thus had anticipated her orders in such a strait. The man rushed down the corridors to inform Scarlet of the situation.

Raven himself was just about to go make a few preparations at his Ladies bid however she asked him another question this night that he had not thought her to care for. Her continuing concern kept him slightly off his heels, and while he knew she was no saint, he also knew she was unlike most other vampires. "Um does..." His words were once again cut off by her second sentence, which left him bowing to her for in response to her graciousness.

He looked upon her for a second longer admiring the beauty that sat before him as she seemed to mull something over before looking to him, and asking to have her servants to make ready for Glens men. "Milady; while I had not anticipated Lord Glens involvement, I had guessed correctly that one of the aristocrats would seek to "help" you during your time of need. Thus I had Scarlet ready her girls; one of the only orders she hasn't questioned all week: milady." His calm voice spoke of the precautions he had already taken, and only slight annoyance crept within those calm tones as he spoke of Scarlet's disposition towards him.

He had bowed after speaking to her, but when he again looked upon her face he was greeted by the sweetest, or most wanton smile he had ever had the pleasure to glimpse. It threw him off for a second, and the words that were spoken after wards set him on his heels. Before he could catch his barrings she had walked over to him, to take his arm, and ask him to lead her to her bed chamber. It wasn't unusual for her to ask this of her watchers, however this was the first time she had ever asked it of Raven. "Of course milady." His calm had broken, but his words still managed to come out fluently if slightly panicked.

He turned to lead her from the room only to catch her scent in his nostrils, which left his mind reeling from her shear toxicity. He looked down at her, and the luscious smile upon her lips spoke volumes of how well she understood the game, and how intimately she understood it's effects. Being this close to her was probably the most intoxicating occurrence he had ever experienced, and even as his mind was sent reeling, his instincts took over to keep him from stumbling. His canines however were enlarging in his mouth, and the slight movements of his lips would make it clear for her to see if she was paying attention.

Before he even realized it however they were at her bed chamber, and his steps stopped right at the door. He turned to look at her before speaking but found his eyes attempting to wander over her subtle form, even as he struggled for breath. "Well milady, would you like me to check for any signs of trouble." This phrase was oxymoronic in more than just one way as Scarlet swept over the room as many times a day as she had a chance just to be sure that no betrayals were being held in her older sisters most private sanctum. Then of course Alexandra had a personnel team of anti-assailants that could easily match the empresses own impressive team. Still though Raven had managed to ask one of the most unnecessary questions he could ask as a body guard, and at this point he couldn't remember why.

[Dark_Nova]

Alexandra giggled lustfully as she noticed Raven's response to her actions. It wasn't his own motions that detailed it, but rather the involuntary elongation of his fangs: a clear indication that her perfume was once again doing it's job. Ohh, this will be fun! She thought to herself with husk as they turned down the corridor, and the few paces there after that took them before her chamber doors.

As they came before it, Alexandra took a second to listen to Raven's words, and giggled at the obvious lack of forethought put into them. Ah, I do believe I've put him off. She thought to herself with a giggle, before shaking her head. "Nay, lover! I believe all will be well." She said to him wistfully, her fingers coming up to curl just beneath the top hem of his tunic. "Now come to bed." She whispered to him in a husky little purr, as she opened with door with her left hand, and begun to back peddle inside.

As Alexandra pulled Raven along by his collar, she let out yet another giggle whilst her tongue traced over her lips. "Shut the door, pet." She said softly, smiling as his foot kicked back against the oaken door. "Oh, this is gonna be so much fun!" She exclaimed in a rasping purr before leaning forward to nip lightly at his lower lip.

As Alexandra nipped and tugged at it, she made a gasp, and then lifted her face to his ear. "Take me to bed, watcher." She husked into it with a purr, and giggled lightly as she began to nip and tug at it; breaking off ever so often to kiss softly at his neck. She knew she was coming on strong, but she was ready for this, and had been for some time. The rasp of his voice, the feeling of his breath: it was all a fleeting sign that it was time.

Another giggle gushed from Alexandra's lips as Raven lifted her form with ease. "Your strong." She perked as he carried her to the bed, and she stroked his cheek delicately. Certainly she enjoyed being in a man's arms, that had been an enjoyment since she was young. With him it seemed different though, almost as if her form perfectly belonged there. The entire scene only nagged at her insides more, and she was already feeling the hot spot between her thighs grow damp with excitement.

Alexandra kissed, and sucked at Raven's neck; encouraging him every so often with little purrs from the back of her throat. As he lay her down upon the plush bed she giggled lightly, and looked up into his eyes with a lusty gaze. The way she trailed her tongue along her lips told what she wanted him to do to her, and before speaking another word she lifted her face to his, brushing her lips against his for entrance to a kiss.

[Eternal_Blade]

Raven thoughts swirled with the seemingly never ending stream of lustful giggles protruding from her crimson colored lips, and his own blunders sum question. As she spoke of him being her lover his arousal grew with the hardening length of flesh between his legs, and he gasped as her hands trailed up his chest. Her finger tips curled up, and over his leather tunic before asking him come to bed in such a voice that he found it hard to say anything.

He followed her back stepping form into the bed chamber of his lady, and as they entered she bid him to shut the door as he gazed into her eyes his hands extending to her hips to run up her slender sides. His foot kicked back which slammed the door shut with an echoing thud. there was a voice that screamed for him to gain control of his own mentality, but the tiny voice was flooded over by his own lust as she continued to beckon him onward.

She leaned into him, and his hands ran from her sides over her waist to press into her back as she began to suck and nip at his lower lip. He gasped at the feeling of her breath hot against his lips, and the smell of blood that was faded from it. His strong hands kneaded into the flesh of her back as she repositioned her self to his ear nipping at it before commanding him to take her to bed, an order which in the state he was in didn't need any further instigation.

His hands moved gracefully down her back pressing hard into her firm flesh until his hands cupped her bottom, and he lifted her from the ground with ease. In just a couple of strides he was to her bed lying her down, and the words she spoke into his ear were lost on him as he began to kiss at her neck which made his fangs brush against the flesh tearing it ever so slightly before her regeneration sealed it up.

His hands were once again running up her sides while he could hear her heart pump blood throughout her body, a clear sign that she was just as aroused as he. His hands made their way to her breast, and his calloused appendages roamed over them to find her already hard nipples through the leather material. His fingers began to tease at them rubbing the buds in circles that left her in taking air suddenly as she looked him in the eye, and her tongue trailed over her lips beckoning him once again.

She leaned up to him which pressed her breast into his hands, coaxing him to knead into the sensitive flesh while continuing to rub the nipples in circles with his thumbs. Her lips brushed against his, and his mouth which was already half opened met her crimson lips. The embrace that followed left his mind numb as he breath through his nose which brought the scent of her essence to his sense. His tongue met hers, and they entered a dance as the two extensions of flesh mingled, and massaged into each other.

He broke off the kiss to look at her, and the lusty gaze she gave him sparked a primal feeling so deeply embedded that his already over taken instincts merely reacted to it. His hands moved up from her breast to the top of her leather gown, and with a subtle twist followed by a pull the material tore with out dragging against her skin. He exposed her breast for him to gaze upon, and followed with the rest of her gown revealing her nude form underneath.

His eyes roamed over her taking in the sight, until he took note of the wet spot he had already known was between her legs. His hand ran over her breast pinching at the nipple slightly provoking a moan from her lips, before it trailed down her stomach, and then between her legs. His middle finger ran along her wet lips provoking yet another moan from her lips whilst his other hand massaged at her breast, and played with her sensitive nipple.

He felt the wetness grow between her legs until he felt that she was close while hands played with her body, and then he pulled his hands away from her while locking her sapphire orbs with his pale blue ones. His hands went to the bottom of his tunic, and in one fluid motion he pulled the leather shirt over his head, and tossed it to the side revealing his own muscular chest. he then leaned down to kiss at her neck, breaking the skin with his fangs to let a little blood leak out of the slight wound before licking it up, and speaking into her ear. "Bite me!" The words were barely a whisper, but the force in which he spoke resulted in her biting before thinking of the action.

His own fangs sank into her flesh, and began to drain her life blood as she did the same to him. The exchange of blood was a tradition that was not so much something that they purposefully thought of as it was an act that came as natural as feeding. The act unfortunately didn't do as much for Raven as it would Alexandra as she had the vampires ability to see right into her lovers soul with the taste of his crimson life force. The drinking of her blood however did have the effect of making his already heightened arousal grow to even higher peaks.

The sudden flush of passion washed over Alexandra as their dance of tongues commenced, and she reveled in the midst of it. His fervor; his lust, it was almost too much for her! As the passion continued, she found herself digging her finger nails into his shoulders, literally hanging on the edge for stability. The moment he broke the kiss, she hissed, though the lustful gaze deep within the cores of his eyes held her at bay. She didn't know what it was, but while looking into the pits of those pupils she felt subdued, and so she let him commence his taking of her.

As soon as Raven's fingers connected with the nipples hidden beneath the fabric of Alexandra's leathers, she gasped out with pleasure. His digits worked wonders on her, and already she was finding it difficult not to cry out with pleasure. It wasn't but a moment later that he tore the fabric from her top, exposing her breast to his eyes as they spilled free. She bit her bottom lip as he stared upon them, and she giggled with lust at the look that rested within his pale blue eyes. Take me! She thought, hoping in her heart that he would.

The next few moments held such a rush for Alexandra as Raven went about the task of removing the rest of her garments, each piece slipping from her flesh with the sound of a tear until finally she laid before him completely nude. As he gazed down at her, she spread her lips in a lusty smile before running her tongue along edges of them. No sooner had she made the motion did his fingers find their place upon her nipples, this time causing her to moan out in earnest. "Ohhh, Raven!" She squealed with delight, enjoying each touch he gave to her body.

During Raven's exquisite touch to her nipples, Alexandra felt the fingers on his other hand stray lower, and she moaned out with even more vigor. Soon his fingers found her sex, and again she squealed out as his digits connected with her hot nerve. "Ohh, yes!" She screamed, her fingers digging into the muscles of his shoulders as she squirmed beneath him: her body literally lurching under the persistent grasp of his pleasures.

Alexandra's moans of pleasure continued for a bit, and soon she felt the tension grow within the pit of her belly. She was coming close, Raven had almost brought her past the point of no return, that place of passion like no other! Before she could reach her release however, he took it away. She whined in frustration as his fingers left her body, and she stared up at him with an entranced gaze, panting heavily beneath the weight of her own body.

Alexandra watched in suspense as Raven brought the tunic up over his head, revealing to her the sight of his muscled chest. She was about to rise up from the bed to kiss at it, and knead her fingers deep into the tissue, but before she could he pressed his body down atop her. She felt pushed back by his intensity, and so she lowered back down to the bed, feeling the passion form earlier consume her once more. His words held such force to them that she gasped, and without thinking she raised up to bite into this neck.

The wash of pleasure came over Alexandra in a flourish as the warm liquid spilled into her mouth, allowing her to taste the very essence of his soul. This sent the memories of his past flooding into her mind, spinning it deep into the pits of delirium. She reveled in it, tasting him as he did her. Soon the pits of her passion welled up again, and she felt her arousal heighten. This would be it, this would be the one that would finally sate her! She could feel it in her blood.

Soon Alexandra released his neck from her mouth, whimpering lustfully as the regeneration took affect, allowing just a few droplets of his blood to spill onto her breast before the wound sealed. "Take me!" She cried out to him with lust, her fingers digging deep into his shoulders as the fire within her rose ever higher. She felt like she was burning up, and in truth she wasn't sure that her own internal temperature hadn't rose to the point of boiling.

Raven felt her life's essence mingle with his own as he drained her blood from the taught muscle that held the artery in her neck. His arousal soared as her warm blood was sucked into his mouth, but before he knew it she let go of his neck. He knew she would find her self feeling a little weak if he didn't release her neck so that her regeneration could seal up the wound, but her life force tasted so very good. He continued to suck at her neck draining her blood for a few second longer before releasing her from his grasp. He then rose to look into her eyes which seemed slightly dazed, and glazed over with lust.

Her sapphire eyes seemed to beg him to continue his taking of her body, a task he was set on performing. He leaned down to her to lick the blood that had dripped from his wound to her breast, and then back up to her neck. He followed this motion all the way to her lips. His tongue probed at her lips until she let it through which in her state didn't take long, as he felt her body squirm underneath him with her warmth only getting hotter as their tongue once again danced together. He then broke from the intense kiss to stare once more into her eyes which seemed softer than before, he liked the look of them that way. However as he looked into her eyes her lust surfaced to bring forth that same demanding look that she usually held everyone at her disposal with.

He tensed up, and his hands began to roam to her neck. He caressed the tense muscles for a few seconds, and seen her eyes soften once more. One of his hands then drifted down to the swell of her breast which were rising and falling with each breath she took, and he slide his calloused digits over her smooth perfect flesh until they made contact with her now scarlet nipple. He twisted lightly at the bud making her squirm and twist her own body in pleasure.

Raven noticed her eyes shut as she squealed out her pleasure and frustration all at once. He moved his head down to her other breast to lick at her nipple, and the to wrap his lips around the little bud and suck on the sensitive nerve tip. He sucked on it hearing her scream to the open air for a few moments while his other hands played with her other nipple. Her body began to shake slightly as she tossed her head, and he let go of it to hear her whimper slightly though he wasn't sure she even knew she could.

He moved his head down her stomach releasing the nipple from his fingers as he kissed lightly at the tense skin to see her muscles flinch as his hands caressed down her sides. Finally he made it to her sex which was richly coated in her own essence, and he inhaled the sweet scent of her before his tongue reached from his own mouth to lick at her lips, exposing her clit to his eyes. More of her juices secreted from her as he licked to her clit, and then sucked on it to hear her once again scream out. Her screams intensified as he pierced her little nub with his fang, and then licked at it while blood seeped from the wound. He brought his fang out of it while continuing to suck getting a bit more of her blood.

Once the wound was sealed he released her clit from his lips, and slid his tongue once again down her slit to find her passage. His tongue moved inside to taste her fully, and he relished in the sweet taste of her essence. His tongue swiveled inside her, and then swirled in circular motions provoking moan from her lips, and his hands had to hold her hips down as he assaulted her sex. With the his ministrations she didn't last too long, or at least to raven it didn't seem like long though in truth it had been almost half an hour.

As he tasted her juices spill from her passage, he darted his tongue in and out of her for a few moments longer. Once he was satisfied however he sat up to look upon her, what he seen brought a smile to his lips. She was gripping one hand into her breast while the other caressed her own hip as her body squirmed in place. His hands had come to his pants, and began loosening the strings, and belt that held them up. The belt he tossed to the side of the bed, the sword that weighed it down clanking noisily on the floor, which brought her form her own little world to look at him in the eye.

[Dark_Nova]

Alexandra moaned as she noticed Raven's lips still at her neck, and she squirmed even more as her blood continued to flow. She could feel her body beginning to weaken, and her face contorted in a mixture of pain and pleasure as her life force continued to slip away. The mild discomfort proved to be nothing in comparison to the rush of lust she felt when he released her, and it was all she could do to not scream at him for taking it away. The rush was there, the feelings too strong, and she needed him: she needed him now!

Alexandra gasped as he looked down into her eyes, and she whimpered softly in hopes to entice him to continue. She needed his pleasures, and the thought of him taking them away again was scaring her slightly. Her anxiety was only heightened when he began to teasingly lap the fallen blood from her breast, though her mind was given a respite as he ended the motion with a kiss. It was in the kiss that she regained her stability, and as if to intensify it she kneaded her finger tips deep into his shoulders.

As Raven broke from the erotic kissing session, Alexandra couldn't help but bite her lower lip in protest. Sure, she had gained her respite, but even still she found it hard to stop any act of passion with him. It just seemed that his charms were too much. It wasn't long before her eyes flared up at him, mostly from the chaos that still swirled in her body. Either way he seemed to know what it meant, and as if he was reading her mind he began to roam his calloused hands along her body.

The stimulation was just what Alexandra needed, and her eyes softened almost immediately proceeding it. His hands felt so good along her flesh, and she couldn't help but moan in pleasure as his finger connected with her aroused nipple. The motions he was making caused her back to arch up off the bed, and she could feel her body squirm in pleasure at his touch. Her back stayed arched off the bed as he continued his assault, and she shut her eyes as the pleasure slowly began to drift off into sweetest rifts of pain.

As if he realized what was going on, Ravens head dipped down to suckle the nipple of her other breast, heightening the passion ten fold. She screamed out her pleasure as he stayed like that for a while: one nipple enclosed by fingers, the other trapped beneath a beast of teeth and lips. She could feel herself growing tense with pleasure as her body began to jerk, and her head thrashed from right to left. He seemed to notice it too, and as if to keep things turning new he dipped his head lower, beginning to kiss softly at the flesh of her belly.

Alexandra shook even more as he kissed teasingly at her flesh, causing her muscles to tighten with the want for release. He seemed remorseless however, just continuing on; slowly making his way down to the steaming pit of her hot sex. She looked down at him as he inhaled her scent, and whimpered loudly as he flicked his tongue across her sensitive lips. It took only a couple of strokes from his talented tongue to expose her already hard clit, and she cried out even louder as he took the little nub into his mouth.

Alexandra screamed as the pleasure washed over her, and cried out louder as she felt his fang pierce the flesh of her clit. Her body jerked harder as he drained the blood from her sensitive nub, and she found herself screaming as he sucked the wound shut. Her eyes shut tighter as he released her clit to storm his tongue over her lips again, but she found herself moaning in surprise when his tongue finally dipped inside her hot passage. The moist flesh seemed to sooth her burning clit as it swirled within her, and her back arched once again as she cried out even louder into the air.

The thirty minutes of intensity quaked around her as she tried desperately to rock her hips, meeting a blockade of force each time she attempted to raise them from the bed. Gods he was strong, and worse yet he knew how to use it. She was once again stopped just short of an orgasm as he took his tongue from her passage to look her in the eyes. She merely stared down at him as she continued to massage deeply into her breast, squirming at the loss as she whimpered out. "Oh please Raven: I need you." She cried to him, kneading deeper into her own flesh.

She seen the same lustful intent from before stir within the pits of his eyes, and she squealed with anticipation as he began to climb up her form. His entire ascent was assaulted by begging whimpers as she cried to him. "Of please, Raven; please fuck me." She knew her cheeks were turning a scarlet hue even as she spoke. She had never begged anyone for anything, and yet here she was; begging a watcher to fuck her. Despite the ringings in her head, she didn't care. This was what she wanted, what she craved.

As his face came within range, she lurched up and kissed him, locking her lips with his own. She explored his mouth furiously with her tongue, feeling as his hands roamed across her body, kneading into her already tortured breast. She broke off the kiss panting as she stared him deep in the eyes, her own glazed over with the aftermath of lust. "Please..." She begged to him, feeling her cheeks redden again as she stared into his eyes longingly.

[Eternal_Blade]

Raven watched her squirming form as he removed his pants, and she begged him to ravish her form. His lips curled into a smile as he thought of the possibilities of having her be his pet, if only in the bed room. The thought was one her liked, but it was over shadowed by her beauty. She was almost irresistible in her looks, and wanton desire. The thing that had Raven smiling the most was that her wanton desire was focused on him. Sure he had heard of stories from the other watchers she had bedded, and of how she had made them worship her as a goddess, and then gave them the time of their lives. It had not been something he was looking forward to, but the way this was turning out was something that he could look forward to over, and over again.

Once he had taken off his breeches he climbed up her form kissing lightly at her skin as he moved up her so that their faces could meet in a sensual kiss once more. Her skin seemed to tense, and ripple in anticipation of each kiss, and then her form lurched up to kiss him. He met her lips in an intense kiss that easily beat out the others they had experienced this night. As their tongues danced together his eyes shut for a moment, savoring the feel of her flesh as his hands caressed over her most sensitive areas.

He broke off the kiss, and she begged for him to take her. She was turning a shade of red, a blush of sorts. Raven had to concede the point as he had never seen her cheeks even once turn that girlish color of crimson. His hands roamed over to her to knead into her hips as his mouth went to her neck to teasingly nip at the very tender flesh. He pressed his manhood at her lips moving the head of his cock over her labia spreading the lips for his entry.

She squirmed under him, and he had to once again pin her hip down, so that he could go to work on her lustful body. Her essence that was pouring out of her sex coated his manhood, and the he pressed into her harder slipping his cock into her body. he felt the pleasure wash over him as she moaned out once more, and her passage squirmed around him much like her body kept trying to. It was then that he knew why so many of the male watchers had spoke of her being the pleasure of their life, and why they would beg for her to let them fuck her any time she would have them.

It was the way she tensed the muscles of her passage, and the squirming body which he had released seemed to emphasize these motions. He marveled as he caressed her body while rocking his hips. His cock head bounced off of her cervix making her squeal even louder, and his own moans filled the air as he kissed, and sucked at her neck. Her finger nails raked along his back causing him to hiss into her ear as she ripped up his back causing blood to flow for split seconds at a time. He continued to thrust his cock into her passage, and bounce off her cervix feeling her muscles ripple, and tighten around his manhood.

Raven realized then that she was a goddess while lovemaking in the least, and as he thrust his manhood into her wanton body her moans filled the air along with the scent of her essence. That smell mixing with the smell of blood that was still heavy in the air was enough to drive him on harder as he kneaded into her sides for a second. He then wrapped his hands around her back his own calloused hands moving along the flesh as he rocked his hips in sawing motions, and once he had a good hold of her he rocked back to bring him to a sitting position, and her to straddle him while her legs were wrapped around his waist. His mouth went to her breast once more to kiss at her over sensitized nipples, and his hands roamed down her back to cup her firm ass.
