Beelzebub's Black Widow

The Monster's Bride to-be.

   This is the part of my life, if recalled correctly, is where everything was in complete chaos and turmoil... However, all of the confusion and chaos did not amount to something I could think about while I was near her. Her name, Jasmine Monsune. Her hair flowed down the middle of her back, as dark as a starless night sky, and her eyes were a bright soul-piercing emerald green. I was out hunting in the alleyways of Brooklyn, hot on the trails of my victim. The victims' all had a couple things in common, they were low-lives thugs, mid-twenties, and the best part was they were already running to keep from getting caught by local police. I always loved the thrill of the hunt, even when I was human or mortal rather. I had just caught up to him, my victim this night. I was playing his minds and their senses.. Considering the heavy smell of liquor on his breath combined with something that smelled like heroine, he was already "tripping" so to speak.. Already paranoid from the booze and drugs, he was constantly looking behind him... Thinking he was being followed, which of course he was, but from the rooftops. The smell of his fear grew fainter as he began heading towards the apartment complexes in down-town.. Smiling to myself I thought, "He thinks he is safe now... But he couldn't be more wrong." He began to get closer to the street lamps, with their lights of reassurance and protection from unknown figures in the dark. He was only feet away when I jumped down, directly in front of his path. Startled, he shouted, "What the hell man! I almost had a heart attack!" 

"Come now. I can't have you dying yet." Stepping out into the lamp's light just enough to see the glinting of my fangs, and my eyes turning red. Stuttering, "W-w-what the hell are you?!" 

"Nothing more than a means to an end... An end to your life anyways." I smiled. Panicked, he began to turn around and sprint off, back the way he came. Away from the lights he had sought for protection... How humorous. Let the games begin. I followed him sometimes only steps behind, at other times I was rounding the corner just as he looked back to see if I was still coming for him. As he rounded the next corner onto Third, I was there right in front of him. He slammed into me and fell backwards.. "Boo!" With fear in his eyes he started backing away on all fours only to crash into a wall... Stopping in front of him, I sat on my haunches and just stared at him. I had just picked him up and had begun to drink from him, when she came around the other side. What she saw didn't scare her at first. Maybe because she held no clue as to what was happening, that is until I dropped his lifeless body onto the ground and stared at her. As the blood on my lips shone under the lights, I slowly stood up. Once she saw how much taller I was she looked intimidated, but only a little, otherwise I would have thought this woman mad. She broke the silence that was rapidly building between us... "Hi, my name is Jasmine Monsune. Its nice to meet you Mister Vampire." She giggled when she said Vampire. I looked at her and asked, "Are you not scared?" 

"Of course not, when I was a little girl a vampire saved me from being killed by kidnappers. "I see..." She looked at me with amusement in her gaze... All I could think about was her eyes. They were this awe-inspiring shade of emerald green. As I continued to hold her gaze, I felt as if that gaze was penetrating to the very depths of my soul. Turning around to leave she suddenly grabbed my hand. I looked back at her. "Will you stay with me?" She seemed very sincere when she said it. So I asked her, "Why do you want me to stay when you know what it is I am?" She gave a half-smile with her response, "Its simple really, I know everything there is to know about you Devon." Giggling she gracefully stepped over next to me, and then kissed my cheek. I was so surprised by her actions that I somehow fainted. ...Black, everything is black. "Wait, whats that? That green, its beautiful..." Waking up back in my bed(coffin rather), looking around for her. "Must have been a dream..." She stirred next to me. "Ahhh, so not cool!!" She rolled over and blinked, once then twice. She said, "Morning sleeping beauty!" 

"So you weren't a dream..." 

"I can assure that I am as real as you." Smiling she kissed my cheek again. "Hey will you cut that out!" She stopped, looking kinda hurt. "I'm sorry.." She said. 

  "No, its fine. I'm just not used to anyone showing me affection, that's all." Propping herself up on one elbow. The sheet slid down a little revealing she was lying down naked by me.  Seeing this I felt my heart beat. Wait did I say I felt it beat as in I just had a pulse? No way in hell did that just ha-*thud-thump* pen... She seemed to hear it to. Looking at me she said in a seductive voice, "Well my stud muffin what's got you all worked up?" Looking at her again I realized we were both naked, under these sheets. I fell back immediately, pulling a pillow over my face. "Whats wrong?" 

  "Did we, ya know.. Mess around or anything?" She said, "Of course not silly, unless you wanted to now that is..." I pulled the pillow off my head slowly. "Who are you?" 

   "Nothing more than a woman who is very interested in you, Devon." Smiling she jumped up out of the sheets, running naked through the house and towards the bath. "Hey! Stop running around, you are going to get yourself hurt!" Jumping up I chased after her. "Try and catch me Devon!" She cried out teasingly. I used my inhuman speed to catch up to her, she stopped right there in front of me as I did. "Look out!" Still standing there, she held out her hand. When I got to her hand, I stopped like I got hit by a truck. "Owww.. That kinda hurt.. Wait how did you do that?" 

  "It wasn't much. Just something of a family trait really... So.. Where do we go from here?" She said while looking at the back of her hand. This mysterious woman, definitely human, had an aura exuding that made her presence feel super-human. She was a human, but had a powerful feel around her. Looking at her, staring into her eyes. "What are you? I know you are human, but something else resides inside you also.. What is it?" Smiling she said nonchalantly, "I'm a witch. And I am your betrothed." 

  "Marriage? When did I agree to marriage?" The beautiful witch sitting naked in front of me is my fiance? She is in other words Beelzebub's Black Widow... My bride-to-be...

I truly wasn't ready for it to stop. It was difficult to read the conversation without 'new paragraph' indentions because we are trained to read that way, but I did and have no discourse with it. Excellent work. If you decide to write more on this, let me know. I'd love to read it.
