The Smell Of Food

[raspberry]

Raspberry watched as Samael left the room to fed himself and set a steak out to cook. She stood there not really knowing what she wanted to do now. Should she just follow him out there or just sit here in her room? What was better? She walked slowly out of her room as if she didn't know where she was at.

She sat down at the table rested her chin on her hands as she stared off into space not really caring what went on between the two of them.

"Why do other vampires have so many slaves, but only end up brining one around with them a lot?"

She was simply curious that was all. And besides it was too quiet to just sit there and do nothing. What else was she going to do? Sit there and be nice? When Hell froze over she would. Besides she was curious about it. Was that why Samael would always bring her around some places and leave Strawberry alone?

If that was the case maybe he should get more slaves to make him happier than what she was making him. It would probably be easier for him that way. At least she thought it was.

[Samael]

"A vampire can have as many slaves as he or she can control. Some times on the upwards of twenty depending how big there house is, and out of all the slaves they pick one they like the best. One's whos bloods the sweetest, there the loyalist, and if all the slaves ran away that one would be the only one to stay."

He cooked her stake for the next ten minutes at her said that, it was pry about medium and if she didn't like it that way then he would fix it for her. He put a oven mitt on the bottom of the pan and slapped the pan on the table. Taking a fork and a knife out of the drawer and stabbing them into the stake. Along with a bottle of steak sauce near encase she felt like some stake sauce with her stake. He didn't know any more what she liked and frankly he was starting to give a dam and dam less and less.

"I hope you like your stake that way, I thought I knew you Raspberry but I guess I was wrong, that night you shared with me in my bed I thought it was all different, that you liked it here. You enjoyed this place, the roof over your head, that you never had to dig out of garbage cans for food or worry about pervy hobo's. I thought you were different, but I guess your just like your sister when it comes down to it"

[raspberry]

"I did it out of the thought of my sister. Do you ever think that she could be scared out there? Or that she's missing me. And doesn't know where to go? Clearly you don't. If you don't like me. Then I'll just leave like she left you when she thought you were screwing me. I tried to be nice and soft to you, but now I don't know what to think of you!!"

She pushed the pan with the steak on the floor and ran to her room. She slammed the door closed and pushed a dresser in front of it. She fell on her broken bed and just lied there crying. She didn't know what to do now. She was like a prisoner here and she didn't like it one bit. It was unfair. She wanted her sister more than ever, but she couldn't leave to go find her.

She pulled the blankets up over her as she curled up into a ball. She couldn't take this any longer. She wanted out, but that clearly wasn't an option. Now she was no longer hungry. The thought of hunger just swept by her like it was wind blowing against her face. She felt like dying right now. Knowing she'd never see her sister again in this world or life if she never got away from Samael.

[Samael]

Samael had caught the pan before it hit the floor and just threw it into the fridge almost quite literly. His steps were wide as he walked down the hallway and jiggled the handle on the door. Oh?! She pressed something up against it. Oh how dandy was that of her?! Outside the house rain was pouring in the buckets full and hard, lightening cracked across the sky. His foot made contact with her door and the door crumbled in upon itself. The door flying off the hinges along with the dresser right across the room.

He pulled her up off the bed by the head of her hair, and then put a hand around her throat. While he held her against the wall and started to slap her across the face with furiosity. Knowing if he used a fist he'd pry break bones and she'd loose teeth. After about the first twenty slaps he threw her out her door and her back made contact with the wall hard. Then he appeared in front of her again and picked her up by the neck. Carring her through he house like that. She was likely choking in air as he went through the three iron tight doors and lead her ass up the stairs.

Then they were outside, the sound of rain and thunder clear in the sky. While he took her by the neck and threw her again. Her body coming in contact with lots of mud, and her body skidding across the ground. Himself appearing right in front of her his eyes glowing red with anger. While he ripped off her jeans, ripped off her shirt, even ripped off her shoes, socks, leaving her in her bra and underware. He was thinking of taring those off too, he bad bought them for her and she was undeserving of them. He got down on his knees and his face was so close to hers, as right now the rain and wind was being deflected by him and she was laying in the mud, battered and broken.

"Do you want to leave now? You got nothing, I gave you everything. If you leave and go to New York. You'll be taken down by vampires quicker then shit. They'll tare off what little clothes you have left and rape you until you don't even know what pain is any more. They'll tie you to a bed and take turns with you for days on end. Do you want to leave now Raspberry? DO YOU?!"

Her hair was madded with mud, as he had her by the hold of her hair in his right hand. She was in nothing but her underware, the clothes she was wearing in tattters around them. He was pissed, he was done with her complaining crying, and whining. She could defend for herself if she hated him so much. Get her own food, her own clothes, her own protection, and this was the time he finally was teaching her a lesson of how cruel the world really was.

[raspberry]

Raspberry was in tears now. She was scared, frighten. Everything just seemed to be crashing down on her. She looked at Samael and turned her head away. It reminded her too much of her father.

One night when she was younger her father had this angry fit and would toss her around the room like she was some doll. She thought she was going to die with him abusing her. And it had all started because she was trying to protect Strawberry. Strawberry of people. It was all about Strawberry. It was never about Raspberry. The forgotten child and sister.

Rasp looked back at Samael like she was going to say something, but she closed her mouth. It had all happened to fast. Not she was freezing with the rain hitting her bare skin. She didn't dare move afraid that Samael would beat her again. Her skin was red in some places, and normal in others.

"No!! I don't wanna leave now!!! I'm sorry!!! I didn't mean to be so rude. Its all about Strawberry. She's the cause of everything. I swear. Its all about her. I'm the forgotten one. The one who gets the abuse. Never her. "

She was sobbing now trying to calm herself down, but she couldn't even do that. She was hiccuping as well which made it worse for her to stop and calm herself. She had just felt like dying for a moment outside. The rain didn't seem to help her calm down, it just made everything worse. Now she'll catch a cold and feel horrible all the same. Then what use would she be?

[Samael]

He stared in her face, right in the face as the rain stopped. A hand still holding her hair and mud all over her and every where on her body. He was so pissed off at her, it wasn't all about Strawberry. He liked Raspberry more than he ever did Strawberry, and she couldn't see that could she? He took his hand from her hair and brushed the muddied hair out of her face, as he was knealing still on one leg. His face now a foot or two from her own.

"Raspberry why are you still here and Strawberry is not? Do you remember me telling you that no one ever escapes me unless I let them go? I let her go, cause I wanted to treat you better and not have to worry about her. Do you think I enjoy ripping off your clothes? Throwing you around and hurting you? You just don't fucking get it. I gave you everything! And you gave nothing in return! I treated you better than your sister! And you still didn't fucking get it! THINK ABOUT IT!"

He was raising his voice at her constantly through out the little speech. Her shoes, her clothes were tattered and ripped. Lucky her that she had spares if she was gonna come back, surely if she didn't hurry up she would catch a cold since she was in a bra and underware. He now stood up on both of his feet, his pants and shoes muddied from coming out here and doing this too her. Samael had to teach her a lesson and in the end it came down to down right physical in your face way. Which he didn't adore doing but when it came necessary he had to do it.

"Now that you've had time to think about, think about how much more attention I gave you rather then your sister. I hope that you've come to your sences who really cares about you. Your sister left you here by yourself, your sister got away while she thought I was screwing you. Your sister didn't give a dam about you, she used you. She used you to get out of punishments, she used you to get away from me. Now, if your having second thoughts of leaving get up, and take my hand."

[raspberry]

Raspberry looked up at him as he stood. She had rolled over onto her stomach to get up, but then started sneezing. There was that cold that was starting. Lucky her. She stood up after the sneezing fit ended and wrapped her arms around herself freezing as she took Samael's hand. She didn't want Strawberry here anymore. She fine without her sister. She didn't want to be used again. Yet she couldn't stop loving her sister.

"Your not going to go find Strawberry now. Are you?"

She had to ask it. She didn't want her sister anymore. She'd be a good girl and be nice to Samael now even if she did have a few mishaps here and there. She was freezing now. She wanted a shower. Nice warm hot water spraying down her brusied body cleaning the mud out of her hair.

Then she just wanted to sleep for the rest of her life. Or at least until Samael needed her anyways. Needed her to go places with him or whatever made him happy. She didn't want to see him angry with her. Not ever again. She wanted this to be the last time.

[Samael]

"No I am not, now you should take some airborne medicine and take a long hot shower."

They both disappeared from the mud and cold. Appearing in front of the three locked doors once again, going through the whole procedure again. While he and her disappeared into his bath room which was much better than her own. The shower was glass, but it wasn't the see through kind. It was the stuff that let you see the general out line of the image and nothing more nothing less.

He walked over to the shower and turned it on hot, with enough cold so it wouldn't burn her. He took off his own pants, shoes and socks, putting them in a hamper. Taking off his shirt next, and also placing it in there along with his under shirt. Until he was left with nothing but his boxers on. He expected her to take a shower, and he'd so kindly take one after she was done. Two eyes turned to her and they were Samael's no longer red but blue the gentle color of his eyes.

"Please take a shower as long as needed. I will retrive your clothes for you."

He disappeared from where he was right after he was done speaking. Now in Raspberries room, putting the dented dresser back up against the wall and taking the door which was broken off the hinges and putting it against one of the bare walls. While he got her underware, bra, and the PJ's he had bought her a few days ago. The pink ones with the lions all over them. This time he walked from her bed room to his own, walking back into the bathroom and laying her clothes on the sink, a towel also ready for her when she was too get out.

[raspberry]

Rasp waited til Samael left before she hopped in. The water felt warm against her cold freezing skin. She wanted to stay in here forever if she could. But then again a hot spring would be better with being warm all the time. She had heard Samael walk back in, but left soon after he dropped something off. Her clothes. Oh how she was glad to have something to wear. The rain had made her freezing cold as she if she was stuck in an iceberg.

Getting out almost an hour later she dried off quickly to keep herself from freezing again and put on her clothes. She was getting her wet hair out from under her pj's when she opened the door wondering where Samael had gone off to. He isn't sulking somewhere is he?" She thought to herself as she stood there with what she had of her wet undergarments.

She had walked to her room to put the wet clothes in a hamper and pulled one of the blankets off her bed and wrapped it around her as she walked to the couch and sat down on it. She just sat there staring off into space waiting for Samael to be done. Where ever he had went off to.

[Samael]

Samael had been in his study for the past hour, doing not much of anything but reading a book on lions. Although once his sharp ears heard her body fall on the couch, he had disappeared from his seat and was at her back. A hand was on either shoulder, warm hands while he started to message her shoudlers gently. Working up from her shoulders, to her neck, and then to her ears, temples and back down to her shoulders. Hoping that she enjoyed the touch from him he was giving her.

"Once again like before Raspberry, I am sorry for smacking you and hurting you. You needed to understand that it wasn't about Strawberry this whole time. It was all about you. I liked you more, I treated you better. I gave you more than her cause I liked you more. I hope this message makes up for the pain I caused you."

He took out a pill from his pocket and let it drop right onto the blanket and it was in the lap part of her blanket. The pill clearly read "Airborne" on it, it was a wonderful little pill that you took at the first signs of a cold and in just a day or two it would be gone from the body for the most part. His gentle hands only disappearing from her neck for a second as he got her a glass of water. Appearing back behind the couch, behind her and giving her the glass of water. Samael's two hands right back on her shoulders, and working there way up her temples and back down to relax her and calm her down.

[raspberry]

Raspberry seemed to calm down a bit with the massaging. She took the airborne and drank the glass of water before she set the glass down on the floor so it wouldn't fall off and break into a million pieces. She did feel relaxed with his massaging, it felt better than thinking about Strawberry all the time.

She fell asleep just sitting there. She was really tired even from all the abuse she had received earlier that night. At least it didn't end in terror that something bad was going to happen to her now. Just as long as she wasn't going to do anything to make Samael feel sad or angry or whatever he felt like.

While he was massaging she somehow managed to lean sideways falling on her side on the couch still perfectly asleep. It didn't take long for her to curl up in a ball with the blanket covering her body with her feet sticking out from under the blanket.

[Samael]

As soon as her body tipped over and fell completely asleep. His hands at left her shoulders and he had returned to his study and his book of lions. Lions and Raspberry had something in common considering the fact she could turn into one. He wanted to learn more about these creatures hoping that what they liked would be close to what she liked or in some shape or form helpful to himself. He took the book from his study and returned to the living room.

Sitting in a leather couch that was warm from the burning fires heat. While he opened the book back tot he spot that he had reserved earlier on. While he went back to reading and was sure that by the time Raspberry awoke from her sleep that he would have the entire book read. It was a long book but he was a fast reader and he knew from the pill she took, and by how tired she already was that she was gonna be out for a while. There was nothing he could do right now with her. All he could do was read his book, keep a watchful eye on her and await for her to be awake.

[raspberry]

Raspberry had only woken three hours after she had fallen asleep. She took little naps here and there every now and then. She sat up on the couch and looked around. She had sort of forgot where she was at the moment before she saw Samael sitting nearby reading a book. She rubbed the sleep from her eyes as she yawned still a bit tired, but enough to stay up for a while.

"What are you reading?"

She was curious as to what he was reading. It looked like he was almost done with the book too. When the hell did he start reading that thing. She saw how big the book was and was equally amazed how far he had gotten if he had started it when she was sleeping. The blanket was warm against her now somewhat warm skin. It was better than being freezing cold after the rain made someone freeze.

[Samael]

"I am reading a book on lions. Did you know that when lionesses mate they mate with a male twenty to forty times a day which lasts for several days and they usually stop eating during that time? Thats amazing."

He continued to read on about lions, there mating. How they reproduced, sex, cubs, how they ate. Everything was located in this book and it even had little pictures of pregger lions and the such. He was only on the last few pages and he flew through them in a matter of minutes. Placing the book on a side table beside the leather couch he was sitting on as his eyes stared over on at Raspberry. A small smile on his face glad that she had gotten her sleep now and was awake for the most part.

"Lions sure are a intresting creature, everything from how they eat, how they birth, and how long they have sex. Quite amazing I never knew any of that stuff but I guess I do now. You should pick up that book some time and give it a look, although you pry already know a lot about lions from experience. Like how they can go up to forty miles per an hour but only in short bursts cause there heart is small."

[raspberry]

Raspberry felt a little weird on how he was talking about lions mated and such. No way in hell was she going to read that book. It just sort of creeped her out a bit. She was glad that he had set the book down. Maybe he won't pick it up again and read through it again. At least not for a while now.

"So........"

She trailed off on what she wanted to say. That was if she knew what to say. She was speachless now. She was gonna ask what they would do now, but she didn't even know what time it was. Was it dawn already or no? She didn't know anymore. She felt like she was a vampire nowadays because she was always locked up in here during the day spending the time wtih Samael and going out during the night.
