Do Not Cross [C][Lilith]

The Queen Bee began speaking calmly asking if he feared the blood was tainted, he suddenly sick to his stomach. He was so thankful to have food after so long... It hadn't even occurred to him the blood was possibly tainted, what if held... No, no.. It would have been too late, but in the back of his mind the fear lingered, it paled his already paled skin... A slight shiver of fear running through him, as he attempted to keep calm and stayed focused.

He watched her face, a smile still dancing as creepy as ever. She was taunting him, ever so taunting how he was stuck here... Unable to do anything but feed in another... 200 years... from her should she so choosed. The voices began to speak up again, one talking over the other... Their voices not as loud as before. They hated this little taunting as much as he did... They all wanted to hit, kill, slap, torture, this woman vixen as he did... Well, not as intensely, just a simple punch would do.

She turned away, staring at whatever it was interesting on the ground, then began to speak again. Anything he wanted? Well fine she-devil from hell, who wouldn't leave him alone, there. That however didn't sit well... She mentioned things he didn't know of, such as nobodies... What were nobodies? As well, why would she claim herself to be goddess, if so why here? Her little words ended with darken heart and no heart... Did that mean? He began to piece nobodys held no heart, while heartless had a darken heart... His brother, what had his brother almost became? Was his description wrong, did his brother lose his heart, had none at all... No... That didn't sound right, the old wiz, said his brother became a heartless...Then there was the latter of the tainted blood, that horrible... delicious... wrongful, blood.

She slightly lost balance, curling in on herself... The blood flow still slightly slow, stll gradually getting stronger... He attempted to ignore it, that wasn't what was important here. It was her, this so called "goddes", "queen", "everything" or whatever. When she had finally recovered her eyes once more focused on him. She spoke about the blood she had given him, and that she didn't want him "tainted'. He flinched at how she seemed to knew his new dark worries growing back in his mind.. But the most scary thing, she spoke almost as if she controlled what blood he would drink from her, and that she could "choose" to taint him.

Taint... His choice as to how to see her... He didn't like the sound of any of it. It almost sounded like she could control him should she choose, that this charade was just a little game that she could break at anytime... That it was only be the kindness of her heart he was still the person who he was. He did not care for games, actually loathed them, they were too time consuming. He would rather her just get straight to the point, and get it over with. "Your point has been made, you can come and go whatever, and control my fate in your hands. Why would you want a traitorous murderous vampire as an ally. I am assuming you know all about who I am, trudging all the way down here with those goals in mind." He paused again wishing she would just give up and leave, this was really pointless... "What makes you think I would so easily cooperate with you? Didn't you hear? I disobediently left my home with my brother, I don't follow rules very well." maybe with some luck he could convince her that he wasn't worth her time, that he would be a terrible ally. That in the end he'll do more harm than good, it was pointless to have gone this far to find him.

Did something he say amuse her? Her grin seemed to have sharpened and widened, her eyes held a slight air of bright tease in them. With her blood amount, this much energy to still pull this, she certainly was a Goddess; inhuman.

Kill him? Well wasn't that certainly a great option, if he wasn't so scared of the deed happening. But then she mentioned... him, instantly at the sound of his brother being of "use" and "rot". His brother was dead, he was a murderer. His eyes sharpened, as she continued on almost enjoying what reaction he would make from her "news".

She gave a slight gasp mocking at how he was in utter shock that this was all lie... A lie until she brought up that she had saved his brother and technically he was not a murderer. Then simply putting into play that she knew the whole scene how it played out.

Instantly he was upset at her words eyes turning black and red, a growl escaping, "You! You did it! You-you're that heartless before!" It suddenly dawned on him everything she said, who she was, except why she was here. Almost as if needing clarifying, or maybe a hope that he was slightly wrong in everything. "You're the Queen of Heartless, Goddess of darken hearts!" He felt his heart thump faster as everything began to completely piece together, and why she was honestly here. "We-we-were healing hearts! Taking your subjects away, making you weaker! That's why... That's why you flooded him with your own darkness, with him out of the picture you could..." He trailed off uncertain of what else to say, she knew, he knew, there was no point speaking anymore about it.

 Tears began to come to his eyes, it wasn't really tears of anger toward her, no it was tears of anger at how he was not there to stop her. How he was willingly to stab and kill his own brother, how little he actually knew. He felt pained at all of the scene that had played out, how ironic against his own brother's request... The young vampire.. No adult vampire... by now... Still lived.. and with the absolute worst enemy one could live with. The voices sang out lies, all lies, don't trust. But he knew.. he could feel it... what she said was true.

Once the anger subsided and he calmed back down, wasn't like he could attack her if he wanted to. She had the full advantage here, and it was obvious she was was enjoying it. "Whe-where is he? Is he, one of you?" He voice partially broke uncertain how he would feel about it, memory flashing of his skin turning black inky substance, a monster being created. The voices inside his brother probably taking advantage of his heart losing control, probably consuming him. Maybe their darkness is what caused his dark appearance in first place? No... Merlin claimed all heartless were like that. So.. Why why... Why was she not like them? It would be so easier if he heart did not pound, blood did not grow, not standing here... Looking so unlike a monster that she was.

 Also just what did she mean by "rot in his little corner"? Was he in some sort of prison as well? One in her world? her kingdom. What was her goal to "lock him up"? What advantage could they have that she wanted, wanted to keep them "pure" as they were... Yet, tainting his brother first chance she wanted to? If it truly had been 2 hundred years, she must have been young as well? Possibly a foolish princess out practicing her powers, but why lock him his brother? Why now? Why wanting to free them both after 200 years?

He paused just not understanding everything after her attacking his brother... and sent him rotting, and just none of it. The more he attempted to place those final pieces after the incident, the more confusion he was met with. Deed was done, they weren't destroying anymore her subjects. So why? Just, why not turn him and get it over with... What was the point of leaving him "untainted"?

"Why come here when I am not even turning your little subjects back to their original selves. What sort of alliance are we talking about here?" he suddenly more than anything wanted to be free from the binds, to see his brother... To know if she was lying or not, whether his brother was really. But why? Would she lie? What did she have to gain? Absolutely nothing, she herself pointed it out.

Beautiful? useful? How was this curse beautiful and useful? It clearly destroyed his brother to pieces, and only helped many, torturing one. Why was that beautiful? He couldn't quite understand her meaning, even though in his world such a thing would be beautiful. Maybe it was his brother who changed his point of view of such things? The boy was always an oddity in their world.

He felt his heart pound at her claim of relieving his brothers suffering, he too wanted to, would have... If he dared to take on more darkness, cared to actually end it sooner than he had. She had planned to make him an oddity like her? Then that would have... His eyes shifted to the ground, staring at the various cracks in the prison beneath his feet. He didn't know, it wasn't like she had put up a sign, wasn't like she stepped out. Then would he have even listened? No, he wouldn't have, he would just made everything worst... Like all those other times.

He felt his heart sink with her words, she was right on everything, he made it all worst. If he hadn't been there, then... Then.. his brother probably wouldn't have left home, heal others with growing agonizing pain, and just... She wouldn't have even known he existed. How could he have let this happen? Encouraged it to happen? Then after making that mistake ruin things further by preventing her from releasing the darkness from him.

Once he put aside the growing guilt, of just maybe she's right. He turned his eyes back to her, "would you mind letting me go now?" his next question of course' being the obvious "show me where he is" should she release him. Then it was really written all over him wasn't it?

He stared at her in slight disbelief, after all that she was refusing to release him? "You choose to let me suck your blood. It wasn't like I hadn't warned you. That was your own fault." His eyes shifted away from her, damn he wished she just let him go. She seemed to have made up mind to kill him, such a thing would have been... Acceptable, had it.. not been for..

She certainly put him in a rough spot didn't she? He had little to no choice but to offer up, he was really certain she wasn't interested in the family heirlooms. His eyes shifted back to hers, the blood still slim, the eyes still dull. This Queen risked probably everything to get his full attention, and she probably wasn't going to leave till she got what she wanted.

He observed her a little longer debating a really useless debate. Finally when his spoke it was a bit rough tone as if forced. "Fine. How do you wish to use my "beautiful and useful" powers?"

She gave another small grin, reminding him once again it was his fault that this whole mess had even started. Ouch, that had hurt. His heart felt incredibly heavy, almost as if her own exhaustion was influencing him, just the guilt eating away. Then there was natalie, she was dragged along as well. No telling were she disappeared off to, with worlds like this maze, endless impossibilities.

After several moments, she spoke again explaining what she had planned, asking of course' various questions. To give one darkness, of course' she would ask that, then she really didn't need that did she? But then she claimed there was strategic use to take away darkness, whatever it could be. "Never tried to give darkness, only taken away. They work on their own, never been in control of them." He paused debating on giving her more information, then he realized she would probably just leave him here till he confesses it all... Or kill him. "I've always ran from my own powers, avoided them when they appeared. If anyone knew about the full extent it'll be my parents, they certainly went out of their way to keep everything secret and locked away."

His eyes slightly flashed with the complete decision to get this over with, before the Queen passed out right here leaving him hanging... For who knows how long. "I'll be your little experiment, and go with you. Just let my brother go, and leave him alone."

She spoke with his parents? This did not surprise him, considering how far she went to find his little prison. It should have upsetted him little, but it really didn't, honestly the way they acted... They deserved whatever came to them, probably already replaced him and moved on. She considering his "feelings" covered up the tracks explaining they "freely" gave it away. He was pretty sure it was more than given "freely". Natalie's family didn't even know, and they were all vampires, he doubt a stranger could get easy access. Then what did he truly knew?


After a good while of tiredness, great he was losing her, he'll never escape this blasted place. She brought up how his brother's actions would interfere or attempt to join. Something that he may just have been betting on, sadly she had spotted the ploy. Grumly, slightly upset she caught his own little plan, he asked her "Then what do you suggest?" Honest by now he was willing to try anything to get out of here before she just passed on out in some coma... At least that way he could go out and search for his brother on his own.
