The Smell Of Food

[raspberry]

Raspberry was very warm even under the blankets still. She woke up and looked around. Where was Samael? He wasn't in the bed with her. Did he have to leave or something. Then she could smell the food being made. He's cooking? Mmmm. It smelt good from where she sat in the room. She wondered if Strawberry would get her lovely swan pellets that she asked for the night before.

Rasp sat up in the bed and rested against the pillows as she pulled the covers up to her chin. She was still a bit chilly even out of the blankets. She was also wondering what they would be doing today since Strawberry and herself couldn't go wander like they had done in the past for a while before getting caught past curfew last night.

[Samael]

Within the kitchen stood Samael no shirt on and a pair of jeans with white socks. A apron on that said "Bite the cook" which was a little vampire joke that no one would pry get but he was hoping that if either of them came into here that they would get the joke. He was making breakfast tacos, and he had picked up Strawberries swan pellets the number 1 graded ones also. So hopfully they would be good enough for the three of them.

He stuffed each taco with steak, skillet patatoes, cheese, green pepers, and onions. Two tacos for each, which made six tacos in all. Two tacos per a plate, then making a single pankcake for both which was decked with Strawberries, Raspberries, blueberries, and a few other fruits with a tad of whip cream on both and a bit of syurp. Freshly squeezed orange juice with no pulp. He sat the table which was round and big enough for three, although he had another table which was for if he ever had more 'guests' stay over. He sat the table for the three of them, giving them each a fork and a knife. With a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice.

He knocked on Strawberries door so hopfully she would get up, telling her it was time for breakfast. The fire had new wood in it and was burning more hotter than last night and made the house cozy and warm again. While Samael appeared right in front of Raspberry with a small smile on his face as he was laying right in front of were her face was, no movement was made of him getting on the bed and not a sound either.

"Time for breakfast Raspberry, steak, skillet potatos, cheese, green peper, onion, stuffed tacos, with pancakes with both your favorite fruits, and syurp. Freshly squeezed orange juice and swan pellets for Strawberry also.. So are you ready to eat?"

[raspberry]

Raspberry jumped a bit when she saw Samael in front of her. She didn't hear him come in or even get on the bed. How did he do that? She always wondered why he did such things like that. Was because he liked to do it or did he like to surprise people a bit?

"So that's what I smell. Mmmmmm. Smells good...."

She nodded when he asked if she was ready to eat. She was hungry now even after having a few birds from yesterday. The food smelt so good just sitting here. She couldn't wait to see how it tasted. Maybe it would warm her up bit with this cold weather that been passing through as of late. Sure it was turning to fall, but she liked the warm weather more than the cold weather.

[Samael]

"Then lets eat."

He took the covers off her with one sweep of his hand and they both disappeared off the bed and now they were standing right at the table. A hand making a sweeping motion as he showed the food in all its gloryness. Sitting down at his seat he patted the seat right beside him which would be Raspberries seat, then on the other side of him would of course be Strawberry when and if she decied to get up and have breakfast with them. He even went to the lengths of getting her, her swan pellets.

"I hope she likes those swan pellets.. I made sure to get the most expensive and best tasting kind for her. So does the food look as good as it smells? Raspberry?"

He asked as he took a fork in one hand and a knife in the other as he wanted Raspberry to take the first bite to see if she liked it before he started to eat also. A smile on his face as his teeth showed and he was reading to eat and eager to eat. Knowing he would have to go get a bit of blood from the pantry so he could quench his thirst and some what of his hunger.

[raspberry]

Raspberry still wasn't getting the hang of him taking her so fast to the table. It just felt weird whenever she ended up somewhere else then the area she had just left. She lifted her fork and dung into the plate of food. She was hungry.

"MMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmm. Its good."

She was lying, but she was a very good liar just not as good as Strawberry usually was. The food was a little weird to her. She usually just ate meat when ever Strawberry and herself were out roaming around. She didn't want to tell Samael, that Strawberry had ran away during the night climbing through the vents, but one way or another he would find her and bring her back.

"Strawberry isn't coming to breakfast. She isn't in her room. I checked before you knocked on her door. She left a note saying she was gone."

Rasp was now sad. She wasn't in the mood to eat now after she said that. She shouldn't have, but it made her feel bad to be alone with this creep. To someone she hardly knew who took them in. She barely knew who he was expect that he was old, a vampire, and had a thing for women. She wanted to go find Strawberry and get the heck out of dodge, yet she would just need a way to get away from Samael unharm and not locked away for good.

[Samael]

"A creep? And the food is weird huh? Well.. suit yourself, and good riddens to Strawberry. Lets hope no harm befalls her little head.. Not much a were-swan can do against a werewolf or anything else.. They are the weakest creatures.."

A small grin befell his face as he cast his eyes down to his plate, oh?! Now she knew he could read minds, she thought of him as a creep and oh so truly that hurt him right in his non-beating heart, after all they went through last night and still he was a creep. He was a creepy man, a creepy vampire who gave gave gave and never recieved. He ate his food quickly, gobbling it down and barely tasting it and disappearing from his chair as he appeared back in his chair just a second later.

"Now Raspberry.. I figured by now we had settled our differences last night? Do you not enjoy it here? Do you not enjoy my presence and enjoy the safety this home brings you? Knowing that you are not going to stay out on some park bench all night and wait for some hobo's to rape you or something of the sort? Really that makes me sad, that you still think of me as a creep after all the talking we did.. Shame.. I don't like using guns but its time."

He walked over to a statue and took its head off, as he entered in a compliacted code that no one could memberize in that short period of time. As the wall slide to the right and right there was the biggest jubbly of weapons any person could ever want. He picked up a modifed machine gun, all the bullets were non-lethal and had a small needle on the end, the bullet filled with a knock out syrum that took a minute to go throuh the body. Taking it he took a gun belt and clipped it on, putting the gun in it.

"Guns are for the weak, but when you don't want to kill something its something you have to use some times."

He looked at his own watch and the face came off, as he spoke into the watch. The entire place went on total and offical lock down. Really he didn't want to have to resort to such needs to keep them here and safe. As the oxygen tanks in the lower room activated and put oxygen into the house.. They had enough oxygen in those tanks for at least a month, and the fact he had quite af few plants in the house they were gonna run out any time soon. The fire had also extinguished and it went to central heating the vents for the smoke to go out also closing.

"Now Raspberry choose your next words carefully. Are you with me, or against me? Do you want to live on the streets and get raped? Or do you want to sleep in a house that keeps you protected and warm? Do you want food in your belly or to die of starvation? Yes... or no?"

He stared at her with red eyes, his face calm as he was angry on the inside but on the outside he was as calm as anything. A storm was brewing outside the place and it was mother nature heeding his call of anger.. He was pissed, Strawberry had defied him for the last time.. It was time to do something he hoped he'd never have to do to her.. Knock out, and torture..

[raspberry]

Raspberry jumped out of her seat and went toward a corner. She felt scared and violated that he read her thoughts. Her own special thoughts. When she saw him open a secret apartment she got really scared. She was frigthened by the gun he took out. She didn't like guns. Especially those that were used to kill others.

"Please. Just let Strawberry go. She never liked it here in the first place. She thought the circus would be better. I'll take her punishment. Please. Just leave her alone. Please. I don't want to go out there and get raped. I'd never be the same again. I'd never be your sweet little lion or your Nala. PLEASE I BEG YOU!"

Tears came to her eyes as she yelled at Samael to stop what he was doing. She didn't want Strawberry to suffer. She didn't want to get lost out there in the world she felt horrible and unsafe in. She didn't want to get raped. She wanted to be in a safe place where she got fed. She felt horrible thinking mean things especially with Samael reading her thoughts. She hugged her knees and was rocking back and forth trying to calm herself down. She was scared. She didn't know what to do. She never knew what to do. She was alone without Strawberry who took care of her, when she couldn't, but she didn't want Strawberry to be unhappy and scarred for life because she wasn't happy.

She looked at Samael to see what he would do next. She didn't dare move from her corner scared he was going to harm her for her own thoughts and for telling him Straw had disappeared through the vents and into the world somewhere away from here.

"Please. Just let her go. Straw doesn't like you or here. She felt like she wasn't free to spread her wings. She wanted to be somewhere free and safe for herself."

[Samael]

Watching her go to a corner and cower like the inferior being she was, pleading for her sisters life and once again saying she would take her punishment. He took the gun holister off and put it back inside the wall, as the wall closed and locked into place, as he put the statues head back on and it clipped back into place. While he walked over to his little lion and bent down, stopping her from rocking and putting a hand on her cheek.

"I hate to make you cry, I hate to make you fear me.. That was the first time I've read your thoughts and I needed to know if you were lying to me or not my little lion. I love you and Strawberry, and I really wish you would know I was doing this for both of you not just one of you. Your sixteen years old, you need training to farther your powers. Your weak, you need protection. I took you both in, not against your will but you wanted to be let in.

I fed you, I gave you what you wanted, and I protected you. This is how you continue to treat me. Your sixteen years old Raspberry, a mere child, and this world is a cruel cruel place. Filled with vampires, were-wolves, and other creatures of the night.. They won't take pitty on you like I do, they'll violate you, they'll torture you, and then they will give you a nice slow death. I wanted to protect both of you, and you still escape my clutches.

You won't be punished Raspberry.. and I will leave your sister alone if you promise me to stay with me until your eighteen, and you have a better control on your powers. Now stop crying, and I will no longer read your thoughts unless I think you are betraying me.. I love you, and I don't want to ever hurt you."

He said as he stared into her eyes the entire time, stroking her cheek and wiping away her tears. So gentle, so sweet yet so fierce and mighty he was. This was the good side of him, all he wanted to do was love the two girls and give them protection. Really in the depths of his unbeating heart he hoped no evil to befall Strawberry for he knew that there were a lot of bad people out there and not all of them would stop just because shes a pretty face.

[raspberry]

Raspberry looked at him. She was trying to stop crying, but she couldn't. Just thinking about Strawberry made her feel horrible that she would be alone without her sister unless she was found again. She jumped toward Samael and wrapped her arms around his neck hugging him in a way as she placed her face into his shoulder.

"She's never gonna come back. I'll be alone and scared without her."

Raspberry was a very emotional person. She never liked being by herself and didn't want to be away from Straw for very long. Yet seemed like a lifetime ago that she saw her sister. She was trying to calm herself down, but she was full of tears about not being able to see her sister again for who knows how long.

[Samael]

The hug around his shoulders, her neck basically right in his face. Oh how tempting it was for him to latch his fangs into her and take a few thirst quenching gulps of blood but he held himself back as he patted and rubbed her back. Trying to calm her down. A small smile on his face, thinking should he got and get Strawberry for Raspberrries sake since she seemed so 'lost' with out her. Well he wasn't sure but he continued to think as her arms were wraped around him and she was crying some what into his shoulder.

"I can get Strawberry.. but I know shes not willing to come back, and if you don't want me to get her.. I can get other vampire friends who will do it. Five or six of them, and there just a phone call away. They will pick up on her scent faster than fire spreads with gasoline, and there speed of capturing her and bringing her back unharmed will be firece.. but I don't trust your sister no matter how much she loves you, really she doesn't.

She was thinking about herself when she left this place, she's been thinking about herself since I've taken care of you. I gave you both freedom to do what ever you wanted and she abused that freedom greatly. I loved both of you, and wanted to take care of you till you were both adult women then you could leave and do as you wish.. Really I love you Raspberry, and I would do anything to protect either of you or make either of you happy, but you have to stay here with me. For I'm the only one that truly cares about you, you'll never be alone, you'll never have to be scared, as long as I am around."

His whisper in her ear was so sweet to the sound, it was like drinking something right through your ears. It was so comforting and felt throughout the entire body, that everything was going to be okay and that he did care for her and love her. That his words were true and didn't hold a single lie, his hand still rubbing her back, and ocassionally patting it. Comforting her, loving her, holding her while she wept for her sister that she loved so dearly, but her sister didn't care for Raspberry as she claimed. For she left with out her, left her here with Samael.

[raspberry]

Raspberry didn't want him to go get Straw. She'd be fine on her own without her sister for the time being. It wasn't like it was the end of the world right now. She pulled herself away from Samael and walked slowly to her room slamming the door closed as she slid down to the floor sitting in front of the door. She didn't want to do anything special. She didn't even want to do anything period.

After sitting there for a half hour she got up and dressed herself in a pair of blue jeans and a sweater and lied down on her bed. She could have cared less what she did that day. She wasn't doing anything special and it wasn't like she could outside and look for her sister anyways. Soon falling asleep Raspberry finally found peace with herself to stop crying and feel relaxed.

[Samael]

Right from his arms, to her room, and with a slam of the door she was gone to the world. Sigh, he was gonna go get a drink, and as soon as he left he made sure the house was in total lock down. He was just going out really quickly, draining a human and then coming right back. So after that was all said and done she didn't even know he left and he was sitting in a chair aimlessely waiting for her to get up. He wasn't gonna wake her up, he was gonna wait for her to wake up.

He continued to sit there bored out of his mind, there wasn't a dam thing to do around here and it was no fun doing it by yourself. So he just figured he'd stay in this same spot, stare at the blank wall and await for her to wake up since there wasn't anything else to do around her. He wanted to show her how much he loved her but to do doubt she was just so young and didn't quite understand his feelings or so he figured.

(OCC: Sorry wasn't much to post to there..

[raspberry]

Raspberry woke up a half hour after Samael had came back from where ever he had gone off to. She grabbed a blanket off of the bed and draped it around herself as she sat up in her bed. What could she do now? Go out of her room and see what sort of things, Samael had planned for her? Or stay here and sit around doing nothing?

Getting up off the bed, Rasp made her way to the door and opened still holding the blanket wrapped around her. She walked to where Samael was sitting wondering what he was doing. If he was doing anything at all or if he was waiting for her. She didn't know, but there just seem to be something strange here. Or at least she thought so.

"Is there something wrong? It just seems like something is amiss."

She had just felt strange standing right there. Maybe she was just dreaming of something being wrong besides the fact of Strawberry had ran away the night before after not liking the place or Samael.

[Samael]

"Nothing is wrong my darling Raspberry, I was just waiting for you to get up, to see what you wanted to do."

He said his eyes being taken off the wall and locking on her face, her eyes in particular. Seeing her drapped in the blanket he looked at his watch and the house went off on total lock down. The fire started right back up, and the hair was now coming from the outside. While he continued to sit there at the wooden table his eyes merely locked on her face. Blond hair, blue eyes, just staring over at her and was curious what she wanted to do now. No prodding in her mind would he do today.

"Anything you want to do Raspberry? Anything at all?"

He asked with a gentle voice, continuing not to make a move in her direction, figuring that maybe he'd act more like them to at least gain her trust. Stop disappearing, stop moving so fast, take it one step at a time and gain the love he yerned for after four-hundred years of decaying in a tomb to almost nothing. He wanted some love, he never had real love just flings here and there that mostly ended in either hate or death. Maybe Raspberry would learn to like him one day and then she could be free to do as she wished, no longer a child but a mature women.

[raspberry]

Raspberry didn't know what to do. Sure she wanted something to do, but what she wanted she didn't have a clue. She wanted something fun to do. Something that woulnd't bore her to death. And something to get her mind off Strawberry. She was still trying to get over the fact that her siste was never coming back to them.

"What is there to do? I don't really know what I want to do. Something to get my mind off of Strawberry."

That's all she could muster up. Something that would get her mind off Strawberry was her main goal. Then maybe she wouldn't feel so miserable. Sure she had spent most of her life with Strawberry, but she couldn't be with her sister forever and ever til the end of time. They had to split their ways at some point. And maybe this some point was now.

She wanted something to make her laugh, but tv and video games wouldn't work for her. She wasn't a fan of those things since she never had them growing up on a farm. What she had for enterainment was sitting around doing nothing or reading. That's all she really could do at home with her parents.
