The Stables

Lia had been wandering the campus again, though this time in her new dress the puppeteer had made for her. She had dropped off the other dress for her sister in their room and left again for different scenery. Looking around the grounds she came upon what seemed to be a large fancy looking barn of some sort. Made of real wood and painted white with green trimmings. It reminded her of what she had heard some humans talk about. Racing horse barns. Getting a tad excited about possible horses inside, she headed up to the stable quicker, her knee high boots thudding lightly upon the ground, while her red hair flew back over her shoulders.

Stopping momentarily, trying to figure out the possible weight of the door and if she could even open it, but seeing no lock or anything, she grabbed the handle and began to tug. It took her a few minutes but all in all, the door opened up with a creak and inside she could hear them. Horses. Smiling she left the door opened and walked about. Hay strewn all over the aisle, each horse within its own stall. Looking inside to each stall she smiled at all the beautiful horses, each with its own pattern.

Stopping immediately because of Ligiatha's persistance, she found herself looking down upon a black mare with white socked hooves and a white underbelly. She was beautiful. Smiling as she peered in more so, found that she was nursing a young one. "She's a mother!" Smilng she leaned upon her hand as she watched the two bonding. "Aww.. he's so cute..."

The baby horse was more white than black. He appeared to be like a painted horse compared to his mother. Perhaps he was a mixed breed. Thought it mattered not to Lia, she found both of them to be beautiful creatures. Ligiatha on the other hand couldn't wait for the male to grow up. She loved the idea of an evil horse that helped her on her blood raids.

"Oh Ligiatha... I don't think you could turn this adorable little creature into something evil like what you are imagining. So just stop. He's going to be sweet and that's that. Go back to sleep and let me watch them in peace."

Her eyes widen at the sudden voice that was behind her. Looking over her own shoulder, her cheeks red only to slowly return to their fair color. Her mind was racing. How much had she heard? How long had she been there? Did she hear the conversation she had with her sister? Her wings would flutter slightly as she became very nervous. She didn't like the possibility of anyone finding out her secret, though with how she was now living in a school... that possibility seemed to turn up everywhere she went. This place was going to make things difficult.

Clearing her through a bit as she looked back to the tiny horse, wanting to reach out and touch it, and yet was perfectly content just watching the tiny new born horse lay there beside it's mother. "Do they really? That.. that's amazing. How do they know how to do that so quickly? They.. they must be very smart creatures. I've come across many of these horses... but never a new born." She looked upon it and then up to the mother. Not wanting to upset her by getting too close, she took a step backwards to the woman that now joined her in the stall.

Feeling it bad manners to have not spoken her name, she gently reached out her hand. "My name is Lia.." She gave a kind smile though she was still very uneasy. Though it was a short conversation with her sister, just hearing part of it could only raise wonder at who she was talking to and where they were.

She was still on edge about this woman. Her heart was beating rapidly as she still worried about how long she had been listening to her speak out loud to her sister. Onc their hands touched and released she coiled slightly and pulled her wings tighter to her back. There were so many people to run into here, just the thought of their secret flashing its way out was terrifying to her. Not many got along with Ligiatha, and the last feat they went through before coming to the school wasn't one Lia wanted to go through again.

Lia listened intently to her as she talked about how other animals did the same thing. She seemed to be quite the intelligent woman, and the vibes she was feeling off of her seemed relaxed and kind. Even so, Lia could not allow herself to open up her secret to yet another person here at this school. It was bad enough she was forced to when they first entered. But to open up herself and show... was not what she wanted to do to this woman. Plus, Ligiatha hadn't eaten in days... there was no telling what she'd do to this woman.

"It is very nice to meet you. You are the second teacher I have met here. Though I have only met a few students as well... 4 I believe. This school is not what I am used to being around. People here are very different... not like the outside world."

Ligiatha began to stir within her. Lowering her head slowly and at an angel she bit at her lip and slowly shook her head. Whispering inside her mind to Ligiatha, pleading her not to come out. "But she looks so delicious Lia.. I just want a taste... plus... you have been out for days here in this school. Don't you believe it is my turn now? I think they'd like me more than you anyways.. you're too much of a ... goody goody. Action is what they want... and that is me." Ligiatha would cackle inside her mind, and without realizing it, Lia had begun to clench her hand tightly, her arms trembling as she held Ligiatha inside.

Lia looked to her quickly, most or her words had become lost as she trembled slightly. Ligiatha was growling playfully within and ready to strike at any moment. She needed food and it would either be her.. or the horses.. the smell of blood within the room was becoming almost too much. Lia shook her head quickly and stood up backing away slowly.

"It won't feel safe with me... I... I don't want to risk her being afraid of me... You feed it... I'll.. I'll watch."

She would quickly wrap her arms across her chest, her eyes fixated on the tiny horse and the woman holding the bottle. She still trembled in fear for her... trembled for the fact she was holding back a deadly woman from them... but for how long? Could she allow herself to stay put and get to know this nice woman, but put her at risk of being eaten? Should she leave now while she can? How long can she really hold back a hungry monster? "Go closer lia... go closer for your sister....allow me to eat... you know i need to... you can't let me starve... we'll die if you do."

Closing her eyes she shook her head again and turned her back to the woman and moved away from the stall. Her breathing started to become rapid. Almost as if she were asthmatic, but it was just her fighting from within.

"I can't... I just.. I just can't.."

"Do it... do it lia... do it for me... for us.."

Lia would whimper and as she sank lower to the ground, her body still trembling as she fought back hard within herself to hold back her sister. "Please.... you... you must go....PLEASE!!! GO!!!!!!"

With that last burst of a cry her head flew back, her long red curly hair being flung over her shoulders as her wings seem to be falling apart. Feathers falling to the ground rapidly, her hair as it lowered to touch her back changed from the roots down to the tips to ebony. Falling forwards into a human ball, her voice began to change as well. Instead of the scream she had released into the air, it was turning into a cackle. Within seconds her wings would be completely gone and upon her back were bat like wings tattooed in their place. Her gown even changed to a raggity white dress with a tight corsette top, and the skirt was ripped in many places down at the bottom giving it different lengths all around her. Her boots changed into white heels strapped about the ankles. Her skin was still fair and yet the feeling in the changed dramatically as everything about this woman changed.

"Why hello teacher..." She laughs again as she moves to sit up upon her legs only to look over her shoulder. Those beautiful green eyes now an almost icy blue. "Lia seems to care about you... hmp... but my thirst comes first over emotions... I need to feed..."

Ligiatha would now stand up and turn to face her. Sniffing the air she could smell the blood from the birthing of the baby horse, as well as the blood that flowed within this woman's body. Both smells intoxicating her. Her breathing slowed, and her eyes fixated on her. Licking at her lips she knew Lia would be hurt if she went after such a nice teacher... but then again... they would also be kicked off this safety zone they took on. She knew they couldn't afford going back out to the nearby town. The town wants them both dead for what Ligiatha had done.

"Decisions... decisions... which to go after... the newborn... the mother.... or..." She would look to the teacher with an evil grin. "you. Such a hard decision... you all smell so divine..."

"The pleasure will be all mine..." She would then cackle, her head slowly leaning back as her long black hair fell about. Within a second she was looking at the teacher as she ran towards the opening of the barn. Leaving the horses undefended, she licked at her lips and called after her one more time. "So you think a door will hold me.. ME... back from my dinner? HA! You can run.. but those horses are mine.... I've claimed them... and I'm... hungry." Her last word was like a coo as she spun slowly upon her heels and turned back to the stable that was recently closed.

Lia was screaming from the inside. "Leave them alone! He was just born!! Take some other animal's life!" It was like Lia was banging against a wall. It was useless. Ligiatha was out.. and she was needing to feed badly. She wasn't going to stop til she had enough. It would have to be the horses.. or the teacher. And to be able to stay here... it had to be the horses. They both couldn't go back outside the school grounds... not for a good while. Plus vampires can't really go too long without food. As much as she was showing, she was really weak from lack of feeding. Walking over to the stables she started to pry at the boards trying to open it up to get inside. Growing under her breath as she ignored the teacher.

Ligiatha would look to her and then back to the horses. She could smell their delicious blood pumping hard as they felt her being there, her hunger thriving. She'd been starving at this place much too long, and taking a baby's life wasn't hard for her. She'd done it to a human just before they came here. It was the reason why they both were running. The town just down the mountain from this school wanted both of them dead for what Ligiatha had done. And here she was again... with the ability to drink from a new born. Such young blood was always tempting. Fresh blood at its closest peak of perfection. But then.. the teacher offers her her own blood. Sacrificing herself for the baby. How sweet. She knew not how hungry Ligiatha truly was. She wouldn't just take enough, she'd take it all.

"You think you are strong enough to give your own blood to me... but you're not. Not willingly anyways. And you don't even have enough for what I need. Lia knows... that's why she's screaming at me right now." Ligiatha cackles again and shakes her head slowly as she eyes the little one again. "Ligiatha... don't do this... don't do that... please please please... blah blah blah. She's not out anymore. I am. She knew she couldn't hold me back for long knowing I needed to feed. Heh... I won't let her stay out as long after this. Not again. I'll teach her better one day... somehow."

She would begin to smile, a plan forming in her eyes. Perhaps she would take the offer of the teacher.. but once she's weakened.... she'll go after the horses next for the remainder of what she needs. With the human baby, she fed and killed it, AND it's mother. Her only good deed that day, but then again... she couldn't waste the blood like that... she had in fact torn into the mother after the baby was born. So much blood was everywhere she lost control. A feeding frenzy with one strong vampire. They had no idea what was going on until she left the house covered in blood.

Tilting her head to the side. "So you want me to drink a bit from you.... hmm..." *Sniffing the air as she took a few long strides closer to her, eyes closed momentarily until she reopened and stared her in the eyes.* "You're blood does smell almost as sweet as that fowl... perhaps... a taste."

Ligiatha blinked only once, and with a playful smile she practically purred as she felt his hand gently touch her cheek. Lia was screaming at her to run now. If this new vampire was protecting the teacher, Ligiatha wouldn't be able to fight.. not with how she has been starved by her own sister. Why hello... She looked between him and the teacher and smiled. Protecting the weak I see. How... sweet... and by the smell of her blood... I doubt that she has such bad tasting blood as you speak of... unless.. you have tried it already?

The fact that he was so close to her only caused Lia's heart to beat rapidly. It had been quite awhile since another vampire had been this close. Lia's memory was flashing back to her, and yet Ligiatha could only see fun in this moment. Licking at her lips she tilted her head to the point that portions of her hair would fall into her face, her cold eyes looking back into his. If I do not feed off of her... do you know where I could have a nice bite? Cause if you are making sure I do not touch your.... pet I presume... then my only feast is those horses she's trying so desperately to keep me from. You know for a fact it's bad to keep from feeding... and... I'm just so.... Reaching out she brushed her hand along his arm slowly, as her eyes trailed over him, though her mind was still attached to the teacher behind him, and the horses behind the stall door. ...hungry.

Lia was now screaming at Ligiatha again to back away from this vampire. She was freaking out. The thought of them both biting each other or even the thought of Ligiatha feeding from this male threw bad things towards Lia. It couldn't bring anything good her way. Ligiatha on the other hand, as she felt his words flow over her entire body, crashing into her ears and leaving her with the silence of the air as she was left to decide to follow him or continue trying to feed from these weaker beings. His hand holding hers practically kept her on her balance. Standing as much as she could on her own, she didn't want to show him too much on how weak she was, though it was clear that he saw and felt it from her hand.

You speak as if you do have pets... vampiric pets... either that or you are hoping to have one.... I don't do well with masters.... though I love taking on my own pets... She licked at her lips, allowing her hand to drape limply in his. It was hard enough on her to just stand let allow even think of gripping his hand back.

Though drinking from you does... grab at my attention more than that mortal over there that my darling sister seems to love. If you both are so willing to protect that tiny insignificant creature... then I'll take something much stronger any day... so why not..... now?

Feeling him tugging her towards the back end of the barn, her mind completely left the teacher and the horses. She was tranced by his words, his touch, his movements. Everything about him grabbed her, and she knew it was his vampiric ablilty coming into play. Right now, all she wanted was a drink... a bite to eat... and possibly see what else this vampire has in mind.

She would casually follow him, her heels clicking softly against the floor beneath them, hips swaying as her eyes stayed upon him. The fact that his hand rapped about her only brought her closer, brushing against him as they walked. Her breathing was slow, her ears felt like they were surrounded by water. She leaned back slightly away from him, her eyes closing at the touch of his hand upon her skin again. Barely hearing his words as he spoke of possibly nipping at her skin to allow her own blood escape. That is... until Lia broke in.

LIGIATHA!! HE WANTS TO DRINK OUR BLOOD!!!

Ligiatha shakes her head and looks to him more awakened, finally hearing his last words, wondering how he could turn her into his pet. Leaning farther back almost to the point she would flip out of his hold, she shook her head. Trying to keep herself calm. Two people knew of their secret. But what they hadn't quite figured out was if things would change if they drank their blood. It was mixed... one and the same. The mixture of angel and vampiric blood, the tastes both fully there. He would know instantly... but the temptation of the feel of being bitten. Of biting him back.... the claws... the throws...

Shaking her head slowly she smirked to him. I told you... I don't do well being a pet... but I would gladly take one.... just give me a bite.. and I'll show you why you should be my pet... though I cannot have you biting me... She smirked and leaned back forwards moving so close to him, her chest pressed against his as she looked up at his neck. Feeling if she were too close to him, he had no ability to bite her first. Her breath flowing along the open aired skin he seemed to just throw to her. A hand sliding up along his chest to the buttons as she gently touches his skin as if it were silk, loving and caressing it. Her eyes scanning it slowly before locking back with his.

A tease. Every vampress seemed to excel in this point, yet as he held her against himself for the pure enjoyment of making something inside of this woman squirm with fear. He could taste it, yet it made no sense and it didn’t show in the girls face. She was quite the confusing bundle, yet something he enjoyed to dance with in this mirage of blood and violence. How he wished to tear into flesh, and break the bone within. He wanted to taste the blood as she screamed for him to stop, yet there was something else. Something that made him need to take her as his own, so with this he would wait and bide his time like the vampire he is.

With a gentle smile piercing across his face, his fingers gently drummed against her side once more. ’’Well, how about this… We’ll make a deal… I will allow you to taste the foreign blood of the darkened ages of Paris’.’’ This is where his French accent really started to pour out. ’’Quid pro quos? You drink from this fountain of youth this time, regain your strength. Yet I will be no pet of yours… Maybe just a lover of blood? A tainted source of unholy gatherings?’’ He grinned as once again his nails dragged along her neck and down her shoulder.

So tempted to just, lean towards her and rip apart that darling flesh. His grip tightened around her waist, pulling her back up against him as his hand wrapped gently around the back of her neck. His fangs dropped and with a groan he leaned towards her neck, the weakness that over took the young vampire only made Mikel enjoy this that much more. His teeth pressed against her neck, with the flattened side against her neck so he would not puncture the skin at all. A growl erupted from the depths of his soul, and he wanted to rip her skin to shred and see her pull back together in the same breath.

’’Allow me… One night, with you at your strongest. Nothing bad.. Perhaps a moon lit walk along the streams… But allow me one favor, so I do not tear into your flesh like some kind of beast tonight.’’ The hot breath that expelled with every word danced across silk flesh and his grip loosened against her as he allowed his neck to turn and lean to expose his flesh to what little light the stables offered, the look in his grey tinted eyes was something strange yet comforting as his vision returned to her eyes.

So you will allow me to take what I need from you now... and later... when I am... more myself... we will... meet up again and have... fun? If she could have, she would have blushed. The last time she had this offer, she had to fight the other vampire from biting her back. Needless to say, a building became rubble and blood was everywhere. Lia within her was screaming at her, trying to get her to say no, and yet she couldn't take her eyes off of him. His touch was drawing her in closer.

I do believe that is a great offer... especially for the hard time I'm in right now. You're keeping the peace between me and the teacher... and the horses... and yet giving me... more time with you. She looked him over again and leaned in and gently pressed her lips upon his skin near the bottom of his neck, lifting up on her toes slightly for he was a tad taller than her even in her heels. Feeling his embrace still around her, she closed her eyes and hesitated there. Feeling the warmth from his body against her lips, her cool breath flowing over him.

Leaning back just a few inches away. You have a deal with me... it shall be done... now... I do have one question... would you rather be standing... or sitting? She grinned playfully as she slid a nail lightly over his skin as her hand slowly rose up along his chest and slowly back down.

She could practically taste that sweet blood of his. Licking at her lips, she purred, her eyes never leaving his face. And although he released her hand, her hand slowly moved out towards him, almost in a begging way of 'don't let go' type of deal. She walked as if hunting her prey, and yet her hips still swayed from side to side. Closing her eyes momentarily and reopening them again to adjust to the darker corner he was disappearing into, catching the glimpse of him sitting upon a stool. Seeing no other place to sit but his lap or the ground she smiled even more mischievously.

Pausing though she could tell if she held back from feeding much longer she'd become ravenous. Lifting her torn up skirt slightly above her knees, she lowered down to them, dropping the skirt and slowly crawled the rest of the way to him, her eyes never moving from his. Purring slighlty lower she whispered. I'm going to love this.... Licking at her lips as she arrived at his lap, placing her hands gently upon his knees she looked up to him.

So where exactly... are you going to allow me to feed from? The slid her hands along his legs to hid thigh, only wanting to send chills from her touch and stopped. Lifting a hand she placed a nail against his chest. Here?.... or... raising her finger up higher towards an area closer to his collarbone here?.. or... lifting up as best she can while still on her knees, gently tranced his neck up to his ear and back down. here?

With a soft giggle from excitement of being able to bite upon another vampire without them trying to bite her back. I give you my word that you'll like it too... I'll only bite hard enough to break through... or... I'll try to lower my roughness a tad... unless.... you like it rough. She smiled mischievously again and giggled. Wanting to just bite him now, take in what she wanted and needed badly. Licking at her lips, she waited.

She practically purred as he lifted her and placed her upon his lap. Wiggling slighlty as she scooted herself closer, her hips pressing now into his as each leg was on different sides of his lap. Her skirt barely covering her legs now. With his lips so close to her own she inhaled slowly. If she were able to blush, she would have. Turning her face, and feeling her lips brush against his cheek as she moved towards his own lips. Perhaps... upon these... I will take first. With that, she gently kissed his lips, closing her eyes as she did. Placing a hand upon his cheek and the other upon his shoulder. Moving herself closer as she pressed her chest against his, causing her body to be as close as possible to him.

Just the feel of his lips against hers, she seemed to want to lose even more control. Opening her lips slightly, her fangs lowering, she allowed them to graze his lips without biting, and then returning as she would slip her tongue out, asking for entrance to his own. Growing lightly as she was much the impatient type. Opening her eyes she would look into his, her nails gently scratching at his skin. Her playfulness, she could not hide. As much as she wanted to feed... the fact he gave out the idea of a more... intimate area of biting grabbed at her attention even more so. Where he wanted her to bite him was what she wanted to know. So far... she had a small idea of where her first one would be... but whether he was open to following her moves was left to him.
