The Aftermath:


The guests were starting to leave the party, with their beautiful dresses and masks. Empty wine glasses laid on the tables, some with lipstick marks on the beautiful clear crystal. The smell of perfume didn't leave the room as everyone had. Furis remained, insisting he would help clean up, even though Lucis had servants to do that for her. She thought he just wanted an excuse to be alone with her.


She silently started to walk up the stairs, only to have a sudden tug on her shoulder, to find herself pushed onto a wall and kissed passionately. She pushed Furis off, slapping him, only to have him grab her wrists and push her onto the wall, her wrists held above her. He wasn't going to take no for an answer, and she had figured that out awhile ago.


His legs held her legs together so she couldn't kick him as he continued the kiss, putting his one hand around both her wrists. The other started to feel her body, his hand moving with the curves of her dress.


A small tap hit his shoulder as he stopped the kiss, pulling back and turning, only to see nothing there. He looked at Lucis who was pinned against the wall, a look of desperation across her face. Another tap came upon his shoulder, this time, as his face turned, it was met by a fist.


Lucis stood, watching as Furis fell to the ground of the steps. She quickly started to walk up the stairs, as fast as her high heels would carry her. She looked back, seeing the man that had kissed her earlier, with the beautiful eyes, picking up Furis and throwing him across the room. Only took look up and give a nod towards her and wink.


She walked up the stairs, not wanting to look back, as the sound of things breaking echoed through the empty ballroom. She went to her room, changing into black pants and a tight crimson shirt. She put on sneakers, running through her door, grabbing her Demon Bow. She looked down the stairs not seeing them as she silently snuck down them.


She looked for them, seeing them out on the porch. She didn't quite recognize Furis, but thought it just the darkness playing tricks with her. She however could tell the man in the mask was a vampire, and he was not to be in her house.


She went to the door of the porch and shot the bow into Furis' leg, she thought he deserved it for what he did to her. He fell in pain, looking at Lucis, not at all alarmed at what she was carrying. He looked at her and then at the man in the mask that was now towering over him, taking him by the collar.


Lucis held the Demon Bow, pointed at the man in the mask. " Take him and throw him out the front door." The man in the mask nodded and silently walked to the front door, opening it up and throwing Furis out, closing it, turning around and looking at her.


Lucis still had the Demon Bow pointed to him as he walked straight to the tip of the bow," Pull it. . . I dare you." He spoke smoothly, his mask still on from the night.


" Remove your mask, and tell me your name!" Lucis said, she seemed to be quite curious, she recognized those eyes, now she wanted to put a name to them.


He shook his head and swiftly moved his hand around her back, gently moving the bow out of the way with his other hand as he slowly kissed her. The kiss was warm, gentle, and above everything. . . loving. She dropped the bow on the ground, the kiss was inviting and familiar. Her hand went to his side as he quickly lifted her off the ground and carried her up the stairs.


She had picked up the bow from the ground, and he moved her up the stairs gently, noticing that she wouldn’t stop staring into his eyes, even when he wasn't looking into hers. She dropped her bow at the door of her room as he carried her in it.


She finally spoke in protest," But you're a vampire!" He looked at her and moved an eyebrow up, looking at her curiously, almost like he was questioning why she would say that.


He spoke, his voice enchanting and suave," And I know who you are. . . Mrs. Vomica." He smiled seductively, but not evil. She smiled back, he was taking such a big risk, but why?


He placed her down on the bed, she quietly pulled off her shirt, showing nothing but a black bra. " Now why do that, love?" He asked as he watched her curiously," You know what I am, so you must be trying to taunt me, with that beautiful pale skin that I would love to stain in crimson."


She laughed at this and took his hand, pulling him on the bed, on top of her. " You didn't kill me, and I didn't kill you, and I am still wondering what stopped me from pulling that bow. What stopped me?"


He looked at her and blinked, taking off his shirt to show his skinny pale figure, he was toned and very good looking in Lucis' opinion. " Let me show you. . ."


The rest of the night was a blur of blackness, as far as Lucis could remember the next morning. She woke up naked under her sheets and looked at the pillow next to her, where the mans mask lied. " s**t!" She said loudly as she looked around, no one there. She then heard a knock on her front door. " Ugh, who could that be. . ."
