Together At Last...?

Vampires. Immortals. Solitude. These words are so commonly associated with each other, that a vampire will remain alone for forever.  Their undead hearts unbeating, their undead beauty unwavering.

Victoria was no different. Born in England 1875, the tall lady of 5'9 with the coldest steel eyes was a true sight to behold. Her long locks were a dark mahogany, fluttering around her waist, the tendrils lightly caressing her naked back like a lover's hands.  The sullen expression barely marred her flawless beauty as she glided down the street, barely sparing a glance for her surroundings. But something along this road always caught her attention, and it was the very reason she took this path every day. Just for the sake of seeing him. Yes him. Strange as it may be, the vampire found herself mildly attracted to the overly thin, tall and lanky man who always sat at the corner of the street, painting till dark. Way dark.

The first time she had seen him was when she returned home from a hunt. Adrenaline freshly pumping, she had approached him out of a blood-induced arousal, pressing her lips to him before disappearing. But the taste lingered in her mouth and she couldn't forget it. She longed for it. Was it love? She's never been in love, in her short 18 years of life and her rather long 236 years of death, she's never been in love.

The second time she approached him was a good week after that incident, dressed up all pretty in a gown. "Will you paint me?" Her voice husky and arousing, he couldn't resist. And he did, a gorgeous picture of her, a picture she didn't see worthy. To her, she was a monster, ugly and horrendous, to feed on the life and blood of others to stay alive. I want to be pretty. She always murmured to herself, always denying herself her beauty.

"Am I not pretty enough for you? Just you."

Day in day out, she left her coffin to meet him, asking him to paint her in all sorts of gowns that she had acquired over the past centuries. A month passed and she finally gathered the courage to invite him home to have tea with her. That was then she realized her mistake. Vampires do not have tea. The timing just wasn't right. The sun remained in the skies and as long as that happens, Victoria was weak. But she dragged her pale form out of the coffin, just for him. Smiling faintly at him, she couldn't understand why she had this attraction. Nick was tall, a good 6'4. But he was absolutely weak, frail even. The man couldn't even fight off a kid to save his life. Wandering around her house and admiring his paintings of her that decorated the wall, he couldn't help but to smile. Of course Victoria attracted him. He was but a poor painter, sitting by the streets and painting for his next meal.

Her house was beautiful and while Victoria took care of the plates they had used, he had found himself a little lost between the hallways of the mansion, the mansion she stayed alone in. And unwittingly wandered into her bedroom. The lacy place was filled with her intoxicating scent and he couldn't resist entering. Big mistake. In an instance, she had appeared, wrapping her arms around him. "You don't enter a lady's room, Nick.." Purring it out, she dances her fingers across his chest and that was the beginning of their tango.

The tears will never stop falling..

Do you want me as much as I want you..?

The pain will never stop hurting..

Do you love me as much as I love you..?

Night came and Nick finally roused from his sleep, curling his arm around Victoria's bare waist. Pressing a kiss to her neck, he slides off the bed to grab his pants, intend on preparing dinner for his new lover. In the midst of the hot and heavy love-making, he had failed to notice it, but now that that was over, while he buckled his belt, he spots a large box. Big enough to hold a human. A coffin. Letting out a scream in fear when he saw the name etched across the wood, he scrambles to get out. Dear lords! He had slept with a vampire! Somehow or another, he had managed to escape the house, leaving behind a vampire who never knew she could cry. And cry she did, for so long. Until she knew the meaning of tears running out. She cried until she couldn't and then she hunted.

Kiss my tears away..

For you're the only one who can make me smile..

Kiss my pain away...

For you're the only one my heart beats for..

The next time they met, Nick was dying. With a gunshot wound to his gut, he was slowly bleeding to death at the corner he always was at. She had scented the strong stench of blood and had made her way there, never expecting him to lie on the ground, hand pressed to his wound.

"Nick..? What happened?!"

"Leave me alone you monster! Stay away from me!" Even in the brink of death he refused to have her close.

"That hurts, Nick. That hurts a great deal. Let me bring you to a doctor.. You're going to die!"

"I rather die than for you to touch me!"

From someone who had shared her bed, the only one who had, the heart she never knew she had broke, shattered into pieces. But she stayed by his side, for three feet away since he didn't want her near. She watched as his life slowly slipped away, as his eyes slowly shut themselves. Then she lunged. Biting down on his neck with her venom, she injects the life-changing liquid into his system, picking him up with ease and moving him.  "I'm not going to let you die.."

I love you so much and you know naught.

I wish you were here...

I wish you were my love...

I wish you were mine..

Curled up in bed, Victoria held onto him, waiting for his wake. He would need blood. He would have to hunt. As his Mistress, she would teach him. She only hoped that her lover wouldn't become a senseless slave, to keep his senses and mind. It was a possibility, but she would take the risk so that Nick could stay by her side.. Her Nick...  "Please... Love me..."

Together at last..?
