The Loss of Purity (Closed)

[Angelus]

OOC:
Sorry everyone- this is a closed thread for myself and LadyRozes.
You are quite welcome to read it though.
Here is my character.

Josua
780 years old
5' 10"
172lbs
Blue eyes
Shoulder length blondish brown hair which is always tied back in a pony tail


IC:
I have lived on this world for several centuries and the only this I love more than my life is the death that I bring to those mortals who are foolish enough to cross my path. I have the face of an innocent which is perfect for me as people will trust me. The stupid people that come upon me see my face and think they can trust me just to have my teeth sink into their neck the next second.

I wander the countryside as little more than a shadow, a myth- every bit of my humanity gone. I got into villages only when I need to feed and when I do I am thought of only as a ghost - nobody sees me and when they do they can never remember what I looked like. I and every one of my kind are thought of only as fables - something to scare little children into behaving. That thought always brings a smile to my face because I can move through this world freely.

But lately something has been brought to my attention that has dampened my spirits - something that has put me in a very foul mood. I have heard stories of a person in one of the villages who is said to have special powers - who can cure any sickness, even the death that one of our kind brings its victims.

I have decided to see if these rumors are true and to that end I have been moving through the countryside towards the village for several days - my hunger and anger growing with each passing day. There is only one thought that I have in my head though as I move and that is that I must kill this person.

When I neared the village I saw how calm and peaceful it was - as if this place had never known death. But I knew that this place would know death after this night as I was death and I was going into the village with a purpose.

My character:

Name: Ariana
age: 21
hieght: 5'3"
Eyes: mayple syrup golden brown
hair: long heavy wavy dark raven colored hair which is always braided unless sleeping.. reaches to the bottom of her swell of her butt


IC:

Ariana smiled at the lady that was sobbing with gratitude for saving her son's life. She patted her shoulder and wiped her tears, then took her hand and led her into the back room where her son was playing with the ball that Ariana had filled with herbs to help strengthen his weak body. THe poor boy had went through so much to fight off the illness that was to consume him. Had it not been for Ariana's guided help the boy would not have survived.

The woman ran to her son and picked up the small fraile child.
"Thank you so much for saving my son, I will do anything you wish .. really what is it that you need?"

Ariana simply smiled again she shook her head and took the woman's hand and placed it to her chest. indicating to the woman that her gratitude and love for her son was enough payment for her.

she led the mother and child out of her meager home and then waved as they left for theirs. Her eyes had filled with tears threatening to fall. It was always so emotional after she had saved one of them.

As soon as the couple made it to where they could not see the her anymore, Ariana shut the door and collapsed against it. It was a difficult spell and healing pattern that she had done on the boy and drained most if not all of her energy. I shouldnt have worked so hard to bring him back in one day... I could have waited for two... it was just that womans tears.... why I do so much for them when they hate me so? ... well her gracious tears were enough to convince me to get it done.. I just wished I had done a circle to keep the energy within me still.. Five years I help them and they still are skeptical of me

she clutched the door's handle to pull herself off the ground so she could start her evening rituals. She looked around luckily she had just finished the hanging of hall her herbs so they could dry right before the mother had coem to her home.

She turned to the couldren of hers adn brewed her poultice and potions to clean it out, After finishing that she pulled her apron out off her gown and hung it on the branch she tied on the center pole of her healing room. Then walked past the curtains which divided her private chambers.

She washed her face then pulled off her gown and shift then slipped a fresher, thinner one to wear for bed.

She then brushed her hair out and then layed down to bed for the evening.

 

[Angelus]

As soon as I moved into the village I knew what I had to do- I had to take care of this healer. I wandered through the village and listened to the conversations of the people inside their homes. I wanted to find this healer and kill her for she was destroying our race- or so the stories that I had heard were going.

Just then I caught a conversation in the air and moved to find the people who were talking. I moved swiftly between the building to find these people, the ones that were having the conversation I so desperately wanted to hear. As soon as I caught sight of them I stopped to watch them, to find out that which I needed most.

"But father I want her- she is the most beautiful woman in the province. There is nothing that I want more."
She is league with the devil you foolish boy. She can do strange things, can heal people that are suffering from anything. She is a witch and yet you pine after her like a lost sheep. You need to wake up boy."

Just then the older man struck the younger one across the face, sending him sprawling onto the ground. I stood there for a second and wondered what was going on here but before I could ask myself that question I heard the one thing that I had been dying to hear, the one thing that brought a smile to my face.

"Why do you think she is in the house at the edge of the woods. She is there because I was her as far away from this place as possible. Now get to your fe-"

I didn't stop long enough to hear the rest of it as I started to run in the direction of the healers home. I moved towards her home with one thought- I had to kill her, no matter what it took.

As I moved through the village I knew that I would take away the one thing that brought it so much peace. I would take away its healer and it filled me with an elation that was greater than I had ever felt before.

Suddenly I saw her home and as I stood there looking at it I wondered if I should take her life quickly or whether I should have some fun with her and do it slowly. Just then I realized that I had to do it slowly just because of what she was doing- she was taking away the one thing that I loved the most; she was taking away pain and suffering.

I moved to the house and watched it closely, to see how many ways there were in and out of the small building. I wanted to see how I was going to get in there and have fun with this healer. I slowly and steathily moved to the main door of the pushed on it, a large smile coming to my face as it slowly but quietly opened. I walked into the building- the smile still on my face as one thing came to me, her smell.

Her smell was unlike anything that I had every smelt before and it filled me with something strange- peace. I slowly moved through the main room without making a sound towards the curtain that separated her bedroom from the rest of the house.

As soon as I pulled open the curtain though I stopped for laying on the bed was the most beautiful woman that I had ever seen and I knew that this was why whoever the young man was was in love with her. I moved slowly to the bed until I was standing right next to it. I then crouched down and whispered into her ear, using my power of persausion to make my thoughts hers.

"This is nothing more than a dream my dear lady. When you wake up you will think of it as such. Now pull down your sheets."
I watched as she did so and exposed her body clad in nothing more than a flimsy sleeping garment. She was more beautiful than I ever thought possible and I knew that I would not kill her quickly- I would have fun with her first. I placed my hands on her body and watched her flinch- she knew that I was touching her but because of the hold that I had on her she would think that it was a dream.

I told her to sit up and as soon as she did I pulled her garment down off her shoulders to her waist. This night was going to be long for her and I was going to have fun.

I began to run my fingers slowly over her body and smiled when I felt her go tense under my finger tips. I could tell by the way her body tensed that she had never known the touch of another person and this told me that I could have a lot of fun with her. Her body was as smooth as sild and I knew that I could brings things to the surface that I knew were buried deep inside her then she would do things for me when I asked it of her. I pulled the garment off her body and threw it to the floor before I started running my fingers over her body again.

I heard her sigh and moan when I ran my fingers slowly over her inner thigh and I saw her open her legs slightly. I slowly began to run my fingers over her legs and body and she responsed when I kissed her inner thigh with a loud moan.

I then knew that I had to do one thing and that was to taste her so I leaned over her. I looked at her inner thigh, knowing that it wouldn't be too noticable then bit deep into her leg. She moved slightly when I did so but then she stopped and I began to suck some of her blood. She tasted as beautiful as she looked and I wanted to suck her dry but I knew that I couldn't kill her too quickly and stopped then moved back away from her, pulling her sheet back up over her. I took a step back from the bed and looked back at her.

"I will be back tomorrow night. That I promise," I said before I turned and walked out of her bedroom, closing the curtain behind me.

 

[LadyRozes]

Around dawn Arianna woke up and flushed suddenly as she realized her gown had come off her body some how. Her brows creased her head the confused looks plastered on her face. That was exactly what had happened in her dreams last night.

Scared she quickly stood up and and looked all around her.. her home had been disturbed last night. Nothing had been moved but it was almost as if the atmosphere had something almost tangible on it. It hung in the air like the smoke of a flame. Reddening she remembered what else had happened in her dreams and she quickly rubbed her right thigh. Her eyes widened as large as a doe's eyes trapped in the light of a hunter's flame as a soft gasp escaped her lips. There was really on wound there. She crumbled down onto her cot.

A tear silent tear slipped down her cheek. Those rumors about her were going to be ignited if anyone had seen this wound. No sense in dwelling about spilt milk she quickly picked up her linen cloth wrapped it around her then went into the other room and started her fire in the hearth of the room set up her cauldron smiling slightly.

Funny that it was this black pot of hers that made everyone so weary of her. True, she was a person that knew many things of herbs and potions and healing wounds. Many of these things were what made the villagers afraid of her. she filled it with hot water and went back into the old sachel of hers that she brought from her home, and set about planting some of the herbs in a bed to nurture it in her home and letting it grow a little before uprooting it into her garden outside.

Once the water was warm she carried the pot outside in a secluded area she had made for bathing. It was a normal ritual she had to bathe everyday. she went back inside to pick up her herp soap that she had made of honey and rose to use and the liquid soap of rose for her hair.

Once done with her bath she brought her pot back in and refilled it to make the potions and ointments she planned to make for the day. Then went inside and brushed her long gleaming her then braided it, slipped into a faded rose colored dress that seemed to fit her quite nicely, grabbing the apron and tying it around her waist she walked outside to give her thanks.

Closing her eyes she did a few prayers to thank the land and ask it to nurture her plants to help them grow and be strong. It was a constant oddity at times as well becuase her garden grew so well every season and other villagers gardens were not as successful. Another sign of the devil work they used to accuse her. Then she picked an apple from her tree and ate it while she tended her garden. The shined htat day making her skin bronze slightly with the sun.

The day passed and she made her list of potions and pointments. Around evening time a young man came and asked for an ointment for his mother saying that it was her hands that bothered her.

Arianna nodded and smiled motioning to wait a moment she went back into her home. after a few minutes she came back out her golden brown eyes shining. She was always so happy to help the villagers she felt it was the least she could do. Althought it hurt her feeling they way they spoke about her. She gave the man her sweetest smile and blushed. Apparently his hand brushed her finger when passing the jar and she had gotten a glimpse of thoughts that he was having at the moment.

Feeling very awkward she waved her good bye and headed back into her home.

"Wait, " said the man. "would you like to go for a walk to the lake?" Arianna blushing she shook her head then smiled as if to say thanks but no thanks then waved again and headed back into her home.

It seemed the rumors were a plenty young woman always spurning the attention of many men. Sighing she slipped back into the home and realized she needed a few things from the market, and needed more coin. She went into her bedroom and changed into her pretty hunter green gown she used when she usually performs. The long sleeves that point covering up most of her hands. The bodice fitting a little snugly and the skirt is long and flowing as per usual. she opened her braid and brushed it out and then rebraided it into a crown on her head.

she grabbed her sachel, put her cloak on and picked up her harp thinking she would get somethings then head off to the tavern so she could make a few coins.

She walked into town and felt so nervous. She hated going there were always people that would watch her and the young men were always wanting to take her places she didnt want to go.

she went into the general store and picked up a linen for the towels she needed to make then when she saw that she picked up a pretty crimson colored fabric .. She could use it when she performed in the tavern.

She figured she needed a source of income in order to get a few things, and besides she loved to make people feel good.

"Yes, Arianna my dear its a welcome to see you. Are you planning on playing tonight?"

Arianna nodded her head and smiled. She then motioned to the keep that she needed five yards of the crimson and three of the linen.

She thanked the keep by smiling then waved to say goodbye. she headed across the street to the only tavern in town and slipped inside. knocked ont eh Innkeep's bar and waved.

"Oh, Im so glad your playing Arianna, you know How much we enjoy when you come to town. dont we dear?" he motions to his wife who forces a smile and says "Oh yes dear..we really enjoy it.".. knowing full well every time that Arianna comes the business really picks up.

Arianna walks to the corner where they set it up as a stage of sorts and steps up it. Once she does so she slips off her cloak and sets it down on the stool then sets up her harp on her lap and strums it then sets into a melody that causes the tavern conversation to lull down. smiling she plays a few tunes. Then she stopps to take a meal at the booth they usually leave for her.
siting down she takes a sip of the water they left for her and she waits for the barmaid to come with her dinner.

 

[Angelus]

As soon as the sun dipped below the horizon I opened my eyes and looked around. I was lucky to find this place to sleep while the sun was up and now I was ready to go back into the village and have some more fun with the healer.

I moved swiftly towards the village again with one thing on my mind- I wanted to find her again and feed on her blood. It still flowed through me, making me feel more alive than I had ever felt before. I stopped at the edge of the village and looked at all the people who were still out as prey- they were something that I could feed on but I knew that if I did my chance to kill the healer would be gone.

Just then I heard something floating on the air towards me, something that filled me with a sense of peace and I knew instantly that it was her. I followed it and found that it was harp music but it was unlike anything that I had ever heard- it was as though it had a life of its own and it was trying to tell anyone who listened to it its life story.

I slowly moved towards the music until I was standing in front of a tavern. I watched through the window at the people that were in there and saw that they were in a state of bliss. I knew that she was making them feel this way and I knew that when I took her away from them this village would turn into chaos. With that thought in mind I moved to the front door and pushed it open then walked in.

As soon as I walked into the place I could sense every smell coming from everyone here and I knew that most of them were drunk. Just then I caught a smell that was above everything else and made every other one pale in comparison. It was her smell and it was as sweet, as succulent as it had been when I had visited her the night before.

I slowly moved around the tables to look for her and when I spotted her I saw that she was sitting on the stage playing her harp. When I looked at her I thought that she looked like an angel playing her harp but I also knew that she had to die- I had to kill her and I shook every other thought away.

I then moved to a table that was away from the others but still in a place where I could see the healer I sat down and watched her. She looked as though the music was flowing from her and she was loving the fact that she was bringing joy to the people in this tavern. As I watched her and the people in this tavern I knew just how much she meant to them and I knew that would make what I was doing that much more sweeter.

 

[LadyRozes]

Arianna began her last song of the evening. It usually brought everyone that heard it to tears. It was her way of crying out without letting anyone know of her pain. As she played the song she wrote she remembered her home .. the one she left .. the lost love that died.. and the pain of being so alone in this world. No one need ever know that she was not of this place and that she was a member of a roayl home.. not even of this world. That was why her music was so foreign .. and no one heard it before.

As always she finished the song looking down the wiping the single tear that trickled from her eye. She picked up her cloak and wrapped it around her. then picked up her sachel and bags of things she bought from the store. AS she stood up to leave she heard a familiar nagging voice ask her once more, "Arianna my dear, would you like someone to walk home with you this eve, it is late and its very dark. it would be dangerous for you to go about alone." She looked up and just as she suspected it was the Baron's son, Derreck.

Smiling politely as she could, she shook her head no. Dangerous HAH the only danger i am in is when I am in your presense She headed for the door but derreck moved to block her way.

"May dear please at least allow me to help you with your bags." He said that as his eyes trailed her body. Arianna was not ignorant of the effect she was having to the males of this town neither did she want that sort of effect, but after years in hiding she figured she could leave without covering herself from head to toe. Then she realized it only brought about trouble.

The fact that she wouldnt talk made people in the town think she gave her voice to the devil in return for her powers. she always laughed about that particular rumor who ever heard of a devil giving a person healing powers in return for a voice

she shook her head once more yanking her bags out of his hands and headed out the door, only to hear a few snickers towards Derreck and a comment being yelled, "She turn you down again Derreck?"

Derreck, his face getting red with anger stauked out of the room and followed Arainna. When she got to the edge of the town Derreck grabbed her arm. Arianna let out a gasp of pain and gave a look that said, Let go you big jerk before I do something I regret here

Derreck pulled Arianna close to him and said, "you know people are starting to talk about you add habbits my dear .. why dont you just marry me and then people will stop talking about you living on your own and walking alone in the dark and such things.."

Arianna rolled her eyes and tried to yank her arm out of his grasp, but Derrek just held on tighter. "You know my dear you are such a pretty little morsel, why dont you just let me have you..?" He said as his other hand groped the length of her body. Arianna's Pulse sped up rapidly and idd te first thing she could think of and stomped on his toes.. when he yelped she ran to her home and didnt stop until she put a chair under her door. Huffing she got out of her dress, let loose her very long lush wavy raven hair rinsed her face and slipped into bed in her shift.

 

[Angelus]

I stood there and watched the altercation that the healer had had with the lord's son and smiled. He was an idiot and I knew that the healer would have nothing to do with her but I could not help but wonder why she had not screamed out, surely people would help her if she had of screamed out. Or was it that she couldn't talk- if so then that makes this all the more interesting.

I slowly moved over to the tavern and moved into the shadows while I watched the lord's son as he moved away from where he had tried to assault the healer, muttering curses as he did. As I stood there and watched him I knew how easy it would be to kill him and it was at the point that I heard that cry in my head- the need for me to feed.

Just then someone moved out of the tavern and walked into the night sky and by the way that he was moving that he was so drunk he would not notice me until it was too late. I stood there for a second or two and waited for him to move into the night before I began to follow him, which was easy as the scent that he had could be smelt for miles.

I then saw him walk into his home and smiled when he didn't close his door. I walked in casually and closed the door behind him, causing him to turn. He opened his mouth to ask me who I was but before he could I grabbed him, threw him to the ground and bit deep into his neck. He began to struggle as soon as my teeth ripped deep into his body and suck his life blood out of him.

As I sucked his blood out of him I felt the beating of his heart in his head and loved the sound of it as it beat faster and faster. I knew that I was having this effect on him and it brought me all the peace that I would ever want.

Before I even knew it I heard the erratic beat of his heart and let him go then stood back as he began to go through his death throes. As soon as he stopped moving I kicked him in the side then turned and walked out of the building, closing the door behind me. This had been a good night so far and it was just beginning, I had to visit the healer now.

I walked away from the building and as I did I realized that everything was suddenly quiet and I wondered what was going on but then I realized that I was at peace and although the mortals were still there I did not care about them. I moved through there village with a speed I knew that they would never be able to follow or duplicate until I came to her home.

I stopped as soon as I saw that she was still up and about and wondered what she was doing and whether or not I should kill her now. I moved to her home, moved to her wall and leaned with my back to it while I waited. I wanted her to be asleep so that I could see here again.

 

[LadyRozes]

Arianna was still shaking this was the first time that Derreck had ever layed a finger on her...that jerk ... ohh if I was a little more courageous I would have run him through.. but alas that would only add to the never ending rumors of just what and who I was .. why must a woman be so demure..I am sure to get it the next time he sees me .. perhaps if he tries next time then I will jsut kick him where the sun's rays do not touch ..

she smiled thinking about that made her feel better.. her heart stopped beating so hard and eventually she calmed down. The chair was still under the door knob.. if anyone .. or thing tries to enter into her home then she would wake up at once..

She picked up her brush and brushed out her hair humming softly a tune her nurse used to sing it helped her clam herself as she mentally made her list of things which needed to be done for tomorrow .. it was okay to hum in her home where no one would hear her... It was her little secret. No one need know that it was her choice...

After she finished brushing her hair she flipped her it over her pillow and settled in for the evening.. closing her large doe like eyes and slipped into a peaceful slumber.

 

[Angelus]

I stood outside the window of her home and watched the healer as she moved, flowed around the main room of her home. As I watched her I knew that I wanted to be in there- I knew that I could get in there easily but I knew that in doing so would tell her what I was and that it wouldn't be any fun at all. I stayed there as she went to her bed and lay down on it, laying her newly brushed hair over the pillow.

As soon as she was asleep I walked away from her window but continued to stand there and watch her home. I wanted to get into that building- to get to her but yet something stopped me. I could not tell what it was but it was infuriating. I looked at the her home and shouted to it in my head. What is stopping me from doing this- are you doing this healer. If you are I will kill you for this!

 

[LadyRozes]

It had been a long day for Arianna she made about twenty different ointments and saw about five people from the village. Later in the evening she sat down and has herself some stew she made that evening, and then sat down with the crimson fabric to make the dress, she planned on wearing when she performed at the tavern.

Just as she finished making the necessary cuts for the dress, she hears a knock on her door, thinking it another patient she opens it. Just as she opend the door a man comes barging in, one that she most certainly did not want to see.

"Hello Arianna, I missed you at the tavern this evening, so I decided to pay a visit to my wonderful beauty." Derreck said in a voice that almost dripped with lust and sweetness. Arianna looked around, it was getting close to dusk and she didnt want to be trapped in her home with this man, so she picked up her worn out cloak and headed out for the door, only for derreck to keep his hand on the shut door, so she couldnt get outside.

sighing Arianna motioned to him that they should leave and go out. jerk who does he think he is barging into my home like this, ... what the hell does he want?!?!... Derreck shook his head. " I was hoping for an evening visit my dear, I seem to be in need of your services."

She closed her eyes and then set down her cloak looking at him expectantly, waiting for him to continuewell, I suppose even jerks get sick, maybe he'll leave me alone if I jsut give him whatever he needs

"You see my dear, I have this pain and it wont go away.." Arianna motioned to him as if to ask, innocently where is this pain. Derreck smiling evilly grabs her hand and puts it in between his legs and says, "here my dear, it happenes everytime I see you, ..." cackeling he says "Your the only one who can help me.." he grinds her hand into him.

Arianna so afraid , she tries to jerk her hand away from him, but his grip on her hand is too tight Angry she stopps fighting and then smiles as if she were in total understandment of what he needs, she caresses his cheek and puts her arm around his neck putting her body within a breath of his.

oh , you need me to help you do you.. well I hope this helps your pain , Im sure its going to go away when I administer it.. here why dont I help you out. she brings her knee up into his groin. Derreck howls in pain , "You stupid bitch!!!"

He smacks Arianna across her face, she goes black for a few seconds, when she can see again the man is still bent over, quickly she shoves him out the door and then quickly casts a barrier not allowing anyone to come in, then having used up all her energy to throw him out she slips onto the ground barely able to stay contious. Just a little while longer , just a little longer , as soon as he leaves i;ll lower it...j..jjust.. a .. as ,,. soo. .n as he goes..

The barrier held for just enough time her Derreck to realize he could not enter her home again, somehow she had blocked it for his entry. Screaming, "I'll have you bitch see if I dont, and when I do there will be nothing you can do about it. I'll make you pay for what you did." he stalks away.

Arianna oblivious to the threats lay on the floor of her home, uncontious as the barrier blinks out and her home is left unprotected.

 

[LadyRozes]

*Bump*

needs to get this on the page again

 

[Angelus]

I stood there at the window and watched her fall to the ground with a smile as she was now vulnerable. I stood there and looked at her, to see if she would move but after several moments I saw no movement from her and knew that if I was to enter she would not know about it until it was far too late. I moved swiftly to the main door of her home and pulled it open, smiling as soon as it came open. I walked into her home and looked down at her, knowing that I could do whatever I wanted to her and there was no way that she could stop me- no way that she would even know that I was there.

I closed the door and bolted it so that we wouldn't get disturbed then I picked her up. She felt so soft in my arms that for a brief second I wondered if I could do this, if I could take her life but then I shook my head and looked at her face. You are doing this to me healer. You are making me question myself but how are you doing this- what power do you have?

I took her to her bed and dropped her onto it then knelt down beside the bed and looked at her face again, at how peaceful she was. I smiled when I knew what I was going to do to her, what pain I was going to cause her this night. When I was finished with her she would need all her healing power to make it through to the next day and I knew that she was exhausted so it was going to be excruciating for her to make it to the next day.

I got to my feet and ran my eyes over her body, seeing the heat coming from it. She looked so alive to me and I knew that I had to take some of that away from her, take some of her life as it was driving me insane to look at her. I grabbed her clothes and ran one fingernail over the front of it, listening with a smile as I heard a tearing sound coming from them before I pulled upwards and watched as her clothing came apart, exposing her body to me.

As I looked at it I was amazed by how perfect her body was, how flawless. I knelt down beside her again and pulled her clothing away from her then threw it to the floor before I turned back to her. She had absolutely no idea that I was hear which made what I was going to do to her perfect.

I began to slowly run one finger over her skin, feeling how soft and warm it was and knowing that whatever I was going to do was going to be so good for her and then so nasty. I watched her as she began to move to this unseen person and I couldn't help but wonder what was going on in her head, what she was thinking at this particular point in time.

I knew that I could do more to her but I continued to run one finger over her body, watching the goosebumps appear on her skin wherever I touched her. She began to squirm on her bed now as I continued to touch her and I could see her heat rise from her body as if it were a wave that was threatening to engulf everything. I knew that I wanted to taste her now but there is one thing that I wanted to do first, one thing that I had to taste first.

I knelt down on the bed and placed my hands under her ass then slowly raised her. As soon as she was at the right height I leaned forward and began to run my tongue between her legs, tasting her sweet nectar. She tasted as sweet as she looked and I knew that there was one thing that I had to give her, one thing that she would never forget. I grabbed her as and began to lick her deeply, tasting even more of her and I knew that she was close, that this had never happened to her.

Suddenly she began to squirm like mad and as soon as I felt and tasted her nectar on my lips I knew that this was the perfect time and bit deep into her inner thigh, feeling the onrush of her boiling hot blood as it flowed into my mouth. She tasted so damn good that I knew that I had to have more of her and bit into her other inner thigh and drank her blood then started to bite her all over.

I dropped her onto the bed then leaned over her and began to bite into her waist, tasting even more blood from her. She tasted so sweet that I wanted to taste more of her, I actually wanted to taste all of her but I knew that if I did so I would kill her. I did not want to do that just yet, I wanted to have some more fun with her. I then looked at her body and bit deep into her left breast, watching her squirm when I did that. I felt the onrush of even sweeter blood from her breast and began to suck her blood, her life from her.

As I continued to bite her, suck her blood I could feel something coming from her- feel her compassion and I knew that I had to stop as it would take me over and if it did so then I would worry about everything I had every done. I stopped quickly and dropped her onto her bed then stood up and walked to her door. When I saw all the bite marks over her body I smiled as I knew that she would not forget this and neither would I.

In her dream...

Arianna felt her body get warm and she felt excited in ways she had never experienced. This dream she was having seemed almost too real and wonderful, until taht was she felt the bite, and suddenly she realized, her dream turned into a nightmare. It made her feel so afraid.

She didnt have the engery to fight her attacker. she couldnt even wake from it, and on top of that she felt so much pain comming from her attacker, despite the physical pain he was causing her.

She knew in some small way that he wasnt going to kill her this time, it wasnt what he wanted. She felt like a mouse being toyed with by a cat. She felt as though he need her. In someway he was draining her life essense from her body, when finally she understood, this was an attack. her lover fromt eh past had come again. It seemed as thgouth she should give him what he wanted, perhaps, he will give what Arianna so desperately craved...


After a full day and night later:

Arianna opens her eyes and everything looks a blur. Her home seemed undisturbed and she felt as though she was waking froma deep trance. Not knowing how much time had passed, she attempted to stand, when she bit her lip to stop herself from crying out loud. Her body felt as though it was broken in so many places. She felt so weak.

It was then that she noticed the tiny marks all over her body, her naked body. .. It hadnt been a dream, her phantasmic admirer had been real. A few silet tears slipped from her eyes. She felt so afraid. Not knowing what to do.. She thought hwo could the intruder come uinto her home.

Then she remembered the first time it had happened, she had over looked it, simply placed the necessary shields up. then she remembered last night, her shields had blinked out, because she had made them stronger to keep out Derek. she hadn't realized that the phantasmic attacker would come back... If she wasnt going to get better soon people were going to question her..again. She had worked so hard to disprove those rumors about her. how was she ever going to succeed, if these attacks continued?

First thing was first she needed to get better and then she would deal with the repercussions of her actions. Achingly she pulled herself off the ground and grabbed her staff laying against the edge of her cot. She picked it up and with all the strength she could muster up, she swung it to the shelf where she had some of her older potions that she made. knocking over the far left one, she dropped her staff in time to catch the small ceramic pot that fell off the shelf.

She willed her sheilds to come up again. They werent as strong, but they would still ward off anything form entering, or at least tip her off and let her know of the intrusion, the more powerful the intruder, the more likely they would succeed. She would just pray that she would recover in time.

Arianna Pulled the stopper from her potion, and drank the contents down. IF she was not disturbed for a few hours then she could heal herself.She seemed to have lost a lot of blood, and willed her body to produce more.

While a normal person of this world took one week to reproduce a pint of blood loss, her body took only hours, combining that with her powers and her enhancing potion, she would be functioning in no time.

Blissfully, Arianna slipped back into a slumber, so she could use her powers to heal her wounds from within. She would be okay in an hour or so. She would have to stay indoors for a few days. The replenished blood would take a while for the color to come back to her skin. There was no need walking around the village looking like a corpse.

As the sun slipped once more over the horizon, Arianna was slowly waking from her slumber. Rejuvinated, and ready to complete her tasks, when she heard banging oh her door. She quickly looked around and found a robe; slipping it over her naked body she slowly made her way to the door.

Opening it, she saw the small boy she had tended to a few days prior. Smiling she bent down to eyes level and motioned to him
What is wrong? why are you here?

The boy as if completely understanding her replied, "We were worried about you when we didnt see you at the tavern, My mommy made you some cornbread...but a took a few bites out of it."

Smiling Arianna took the half eaten bread from the Boy and kissed his forhead, as if to say "Thank you." Then she messed his hair and attempted to close her door, when the boy asked her, "Your comming to pplay tonight arent you?"

Shaking her head, she made a few motions that she was coughing and ill and that she would come tomorrow evening to play.

The boy's shoulders slumped and he said, " Well I guess you do look really plae and sweaty like I did when I was sick. ... Okay, I will tell papa that you are sick, and that we ill have to wait until tomorrow night to hear your songs." with that the boy turned to skip away after waving goodbye.

Sighing, Arianna shut her door and closed her eyes. She had a lot to recover if she was going to be playing tomorrow. Making her way into her chamber she picked up the shards of her ripped dress. It had been only one of two that she had. She picked up her faded blue one and slipped it over her head.

Then after downing yet another potion she picked her cut outs for another gown so she could finish it to wear it at the tavern the next evening. Smiling to herself, it was going to be her most beautiful dress yet.

I sat on the bed of the home that I had made my own and looked at the far wall. There was so much going through me that I felt the battle waging and the more that I began to fight it the stronger, the harder it became until I wanted to scream out with the anquish it was causing me. Part of me now cared, cared about the people that I had hurt- the people that I had killed. I knew that one this was causing this- the blood from the healer and although it was far sweeter than anything I had ever tasted before it was causing me more pain as it was bring forth something I had successfully shut away until now - my emotions.

I raised my head to the ceiling and let out a scream that I knew anyone close by would hear and come to investigate. I smiled at that but then that smile disappeared when I tried to think of what I would do to the person. I knew that there was only one way to find out and got up off the bed and moved slowly to the door. I pushed it open quietly then walked out into the night air.

As soon as I was outside I took a deep breath, hoping that it would calm me and clear the compassion that was now inside me but as before the harder I fought the stronger it became until it was threatening to completely consume me. I fell to my knees on the ground and was shocked to feel tears rolling down my face, it had been so long since I had felt them. I realized that this was another sign of my growing compassion and I knew that this was one thing that I hated, the one thing I did not want more than anything as I knew it would bring with it- it was the realization of all the pain that I had caused in my life.

Just then something ripped my from my thoughts, a hand on my shoulder. It was then that I heard the voice of the person that seemed to be trying to help me.
"I heard the scream - was that you?"
Before he knew what was happening I grabbed the person's arm, causing him to shout out as I got to my feet. I turned to look at him with a smile.
"That was me. I was calling for someone and here you are."

Before he could say a word I beit deep into the side of his throat which caused his blood to almost fly into my mouth. As soon as I began to suck the blood from the man two conflicting emotions flew through me - one was of pure satisfaction, the satisfaction of taking this man's life into my own and yet there was kind of a revulsion growing inside me. It was telling me that what I was doing was wrong, that I was taking this man's life and I dropped him to the ground then looked at him as the blood flowed from the puncture wounds in the side of his neck to the ground. He looked up at me with a questioning look as if to ask me why I had done this to him and I found that I didn't have an answer that I couldn't tell him why I had killed him just for my own means.

I turned my back to him but continued to stand there and listen to him dying. As I stood there and listened to the sounds that were coming from him I felt a kind of death within me. For the first time I felt pain from what I had done to him - from what I had taken from him. I knew why that was also, the blood that was still in me - her blood. It was then heard him go through the sounds of his death and as I did I started to move away and started to move towards the one place I hoped would bring me some peace, her village.

I began to slowly move towards her village then began to moved at a faster pace until I was almost flying towards the village. Just then it came into view and I stopped and looked at the village, wondering if she was still there and if she was feeling the effects of what I had done to her. I knew that I had taken a lot of blood from her but I still had to see her, I had to go to the tavern and hope that she went to it this night. It was then that I knew I had to go there and moved into the village.

As soon as I began to move through the village, towards the tavern I noticed that the mood of the entire place was different, as through something was missing. I then realized what it was, what had caused it and I wondered if the healer knew what effect she had on the people, on the mood of the village. Everywhere that I looked the people that I saw seemed to be lost, as if they did not knew what to do. A smile came to my face when I knew that I had done this, I had taken their healer, their source of hope away from them. As soon as I thought that though a part of me screamed out that it was wrong - that I should not have taken away their hope which made me almost shout out.

I shook my head and tried to clear those thoughts away but it seemed that the more I tried to more they screamed in my head until I wanted only one thing - go to the one place I knew there would be some noise, the tavern. I moved quickly to the building my ears were assaulted by the noises coming from inside. I breathed a sigh of relief and walked straight to a table at the back, one where I could observe everything but not seen myself. As soon as I sat down I looked around the interior of the building and wondered if she would make an appearance and lighten the mood of everyone, myself included or would I have to see her in her home.

Arianna having spent most of the day finishing the dress that she was currently wearing underneath her cloak, was extremely excited upon wearing it.

She was a bit nervous about going back to the village, but she figured Derek was probably nursing her wounds and would be back in the tavern.

She opened the door of the tavern and slipped inside. THe barkeep smiled at her and said, "We missed you Arianna my son said that you had been feeling ill. My hope is that you better yes..??"

Smiling Arianna Nods her head. She walks over to the coner stage, and slips of her cloak. A several gasps filled the room.

It was true she had been a bit daring in her dress. The neck line came a little off her shoulders making her shoulder look dainty and acentuated her the curves of her neck.

She had let her long dark hair down, having hung well past her shoulders. She wanted to feel and look good, and judging from the reactions of everyone else in the tavern she had achieved just that. She smiled then picked up her harp from her satchel and began to play.

Her music flowed through as the same everytime she played. Once she finished her usual set she started a new one. One that she had diliberately played. This was in retribution to those that had harmed her. her eyes sparked with a light and a vow, almost taunting in matter of sound. so full and lively the song that everyone ahd cheered at the end and she had smiled, feeling as though she had finally let her anger she had felt earlier, wash out of her.

She stepped of stool, for her dinner break, and slid into her usual booth.
