Sweet almost hypnotizing words floated throughout a room that contained tables, chairs, a stage and other musical equipment. A beautiful girl was there on stage, her look to be that of a rockstar, but absolutely stunning. She was tall, thin yet muscular, and a black and white guitar hung on her shoulders, secured by her fluidly moving fingers. Her long crimson hair swayed as she did, the words she sang were thick with feeling. She matched its origonal singer in spirit, but nothing more. This was Shadows song, and his loyal pet, Scarlet, was singing it. Black enchanting eyes,
Cut through my heart
With no regret or sign of life
They tear apart my pride
And cold runs through my veins
I feel their stare from miles
Haunting every step
And they won't stop hunting me down
I know the time will come,
When all around me's burned
And you'll still see me there
Asking where you went too
And what person brought you here
And why you left the burning children
Cold out in the night
And calling for you all alone... Her fingers moved along the frets, her eyes sparkling as a few people cheered her on. For such an angelic voice, no one would think that her small body harbored a terrible animal. Dark in their hearts,
I can feel it burn inside of me
Tormented young with no soul, haunting me
Pain in their life all they know is misery
Take these chains away that are holding me down
(Holding me down) Scarlet was able to make her voice hoarse enough to scream, and it even sounded decent for a girl. She was proud of herself, but her throat would hurt later. They'll find you alone
Your desperate and villainous ways
Turning their hearts into stone
They seek more than vengeance
Look in their eyes, your pain is their satisfaction
Look in their eyes and see the darkness take hold
Burn.. for the rest of time!
Hear the haunting words
Lost children with no heart are crying
(Turning there hearts into stone)
And you're the lost mother they're calling
(Go now, run and hide)
I hear them crying at night
Outside when their planets are falling
They want to feel and know you hear them After a few more lines, a few more notes, Scarlet was done, her long fingers brushing the hair out of her face to see the people before her cheering. "Thanks." She said softly, her voice so much more innocent than her ferice singing. "Any requests?" She asked, and people rushed to the stage. Her emerald eyes were glittering, and a smile was streached across her face. |

Shadows watched from the crowd as Scarlett sang. She was good for a female and he slightely liked she was singing one of his songs. Stepping through the crowd Shadows crimson eyes stalked Scarlett as though she were prey. As the crowd started rushing foreward Shadows pushed a mass of humans away from him untill he was damn near touching the stage. Standing at the bottom he starred up at Scarlett with an eyebrow raised. "I may have a few." SHadows smirked as he spoke. "Follow me....please." With that Shadows turned and walked back stage.
Walking down a few halls Shadows came to a door at the end. Pressing it open he stepped a few meters inside and slid into a chair. ((Assuming she Followed)) Shadows smirked up at Scarlett his eyes trailing over her body. "You not only looked good out there, you sounded good. Given you can't match my voice but that was decent for a female. Ever think of starting your own band?" Shadows spoke as he stood slowly. Suddenly his face changed but only slightely. "How long since you've fed? I've been learning that a few under me are not keeping regular orders."

Through all the people screaming things out at her, Scarlet caught the sight of her master. He were there, staring up at her with burning crimson eyes. Instantly her face flushed, embarassed that he had seen her sing one of his songs. She was afraid that he would think it was bad, for oddly enough she did her best to impress Shadows. He requested that she follow him, and she could do nothing more but that. Her eyes were fixed upon him as she talked into the mic. "I'm sorry guys, somethings come up... I'll be back next time!" She smiled brilliantly as the crowd gave unhappy noises. Scarlet slipped her guitar off, holding it in one hand as she jogged after Shadows. She was still smiling none the less, she was rather happy to see him for some reason.
In the room he opened Scarlet set her guitar down softly, acting as if it were gold. He was sitting, staring at her as he always did when they met again after some period of time. "Thank you Shadows..." She blushed, quite flattered. "No, i've never thought about being in a band.... Im sort of on my own here, i dont have time to be famous when my master needs me at his beck and call." Scarlet smiled sweetly at him, showing she meant no harm with the comment. His next question confused her slightly, for she was trying to read the change in his expression. "If you mean normal blood, i've fed this week. If you mean YOURS... well i'll say it has been a very long time." Scarlet edged just a little closer to him, not wanting to be so strangely far away from him.

Shadows nodded as Scarlett spoke. Turning towards her he smiled flashing his fangs. "Brilliant, at least you are aware that if a vampire doesn't feed they become weak." Shadows stepped closer to her, nearly touching and then leaned into her. A smirk was on his face, lips a breath from hers. Leaning back again a cigarette was in his hand and a larger smirk on his face.
Shadows turned, fingers ghosting over her stomach as he walked to the window. Leaning against the frame Shadows starred out over the city while inhaling his cigarette. "This will soon be ours, all of it." Shadows pointed towards the city surrounding them. "I will have it all, even if it's the last thing I do. You all have helped me greatly, but now I feel the game's getting too dangerous for you Scarlett. If you wish to take your leave of me, this is your only chance." SHadows spoke low, not looking at her.

Ooohhh how she HATED when Shadows teased her like that. He loved to just leave his lips within reach, yet far enough away that Scarlet knew she couldnt have it. Such a tease. Meerely a thought of Shadows touch made her body coil, wanting to lurch forward and pounce at him, but she knew that wasnt the best thing to do. He was such a tempting being to her, and she was frustrated by the fact that he was off limits. If Shadows wanted her he would tell her she was sure, because she knew he had a crop full of girls to pick from. There was bound to be one far more attractive than herself. "I know my basic vampire needs..." She finally muttered in reply to his previous statement about feeding. Shadows leaned back and she sighed, the muscles in her body finally relaxing.
His fingers touched her and she did everything she could not to just yank him back and press him to a wall. Scarlet could behave, she was a good girl not a lustful animal. Shadows was gazing out the window, something he often did as he smoked. She moved to him though, confused my his statement. "Leave you...?" Scarlet said softly, her Emerald eyes curious. "You mean.... leave your clan...?" Oddly enough, she looked at him with slght fear. Why would she want to leave? Well... sure it would be easier on her, but she... she didnt want to lose contact with Shadows. "I... I honestly dont think i could stay away from you." She admitted.

Shadows turned slowly as she spoke and was utterly still. Crimson eyes starred at her pierceingly as his thought process moved along. Stepping closer to her Shadows leaned down and brushed his lips over hers. Straightening he placed a hand on his shoulder. "I knew that would be your answer and I'm slightely happy. You have been apart of my world for too long for me to allow you to slip away." Shadows stepped past her, his hand trailing slowly down her shoulder.
Returning to his seat he slid into it and sat watching Scarlet. "you shouldn't fear losing me my pet. That is bound to happen sooner or later." Shadows eyes moved to his boots which were crossed over one another. "You have another to go to if it were to happen, regret is something that you can never live down, not even through eternity." SHadows glanced back up at her as he continued." Tell me what you crave most in life Scarlet. Tell me your secrets." Shadows voice was low, a mere whiser.

Shadows let his lips touch Scarlets softly, her heart sputtering. Damn that stupid thing. It always gave away any sort of excitement. "Only.... slightly...?" she looked slightly hurt. Did he not really want her around? Is thay why he asked if she wanted to leave? Scarlet was loyal to her master, and was more than willing to stick around. "If you didnt want me gone... why would you ask me if i wanted to leave?" She shivered as his hand slipped down her arm. "And... of all people... you seem sad, or upset. Is something bothering you...?" She seemed to dance as she walked, then sat down infront of him, a soft hand on his crossed legs. Her fingers moved back and forth, rubbing gently. His next words scared her. Lose her master?
Emerald eyes were wide and frightened. "Shadows i dont even think about you dying... or... anything of the sort really." Her fingers stopped, looking at him intently. "Why are we speeking of this...? You know it hurts me to think of losing people i care for..." Scarlets long hair spilled over her shoulders and some into her face. He asked of her deepest wishes and she could only blush in embarassment. "Shadows... I crave many... many different things." She looked off. "For one the way you tease me is nearly unbarable, so anytime you're around i crave even a touch from you..... I wish to ahve my brother back.... i wish that everyone liked everyone and no one EVER died...." her eyes were slightly teary. "I wish everyone was happy even if i needed to sacrifice my own life." Scarlet sighed softly and rested her head against Shadows legs.

Shadows watched as Scarlet came towards him. As she planted her hand on his leg he smirked up at her, easily supressing the shiver that wanted to slam through his body. Glancing at her as she spoke a soft smile spread his face. As he watched her and listened to what she wanted he wiped the tears from her face. Leaning down he pressed his forehead against hers, his voice low and even.
"those goals are noble my pet yet if you wish those then you are a soul trapped in a body in the wrong millenia." Shadows smiled as he wiped the last tear away. "I don't want you to be gone, it's the last thing I want. I was merely telling you the danger of the comming days and I fear for you." Shadows leaned in and brushed their lips once more. "You may ask anything on me and I shall give it to you, if it's in my power."

Scarlet let her head rest against Shadows, her other hand touching the line of his jaw very lightly. He was wiping away the gentle tears that rolled down her cheeks. They were slowly, and very little but tears none the less. She honestly would give anything to have a perfect world. Where lycans, humans, vampires and other were-animals co-existed in happiness. Why wasnt it possible? Why did people have to die? Why did people have to feel pain? The questions reeled through her head as she sniffled, her nose having become stuffy from the tears. "I think you're right about that one.... yet even in a different time, my dreams and hopes for this world go unheard, for they are simply impossible to acheive." Her cloudy eyes looked to his, thier color deep crimson as always. She found comfort there, the troubled world leaving her shoulders for only a moment.
"Shadows, i dont want to be away from you. You're my master and without you im a lost sheep more or less... I'd follow you to hell and back if you wanted me to. I am your loyal servent, and no amount of money, nothing, could make me break that. I promised to follow you, and thats a promise i tend to keep." She returned the sweet kiss, her lips pressing a little harder than his. Scarlet wanted a good kiss from the man that had always tempted her from the first time she saw him in the theaters. "It is sweet of you to give me what i want Shadows, im proud to be your servent." she stroked his cheek, her hand icy cold. "But what i want is strickly against what i should do. For ever since that first time we've held together, i wanted more.... Now that i have Linx, its wrong of me to want that... and i cannot hurt him." Her eyes closed and her head tilted down, ashamed.
With a sigh Scarlet pressed her lips to his once more, the cloud of sadness seeming to envelope her. "And again i thank you for your kindness when it comes to him." She smiled. The happiness didnt reach her eyes though. The emerald gems that normally gleamed and sparkled were nothing but a flat boring color now. "I'd also love to be as powerful as you. So many people respect you..." She sighed. "No one even flinches when they hear my name, but if you even utter Shadows...." Scarlet shook her head, hair ruffling as her sweet candy and floral sent wafted into the air. "They show such respect, or fear that i am jealous." Her hand as resumed playing along his leg, just sliding from his ankle to his knee absently. She even untied a boot, and tied it again in an attempt to make herself cheery. "Gosh im sorry im so down.." she mumbled, looking at him with wide eyes.

Shadows laughed gently as he pushed his fingers through her hair. Leaning down he kissed her forehead and the stood after she had died his boot. Walking towards the wall he with drew another cigarette and lit it inhaling deeply. Closing his eyes he inhaled again, his body stilling as the nicotine gave his mind a false sense of calm. Turning to face Scarlet again, his usual smirk was across his face as he raised an eyebrow.
"I'll tell you this once Scarlet. It's better to be unknown then either respected or feared. Once you reach that stage of fame or infamy your life will never be the same." Shadows walked towards her and crouched so they were eye to eye. "In this time if you get famous or feared then people will hunt you. No matter how many you kill their will always be more Scarlet and sooner or later they'll get what they aim for." Shadows stood and cracked his neck. "Besides, power comes with age and experience. I can't give you power like mine. You must earn it through blood pain and time." Shadows looked down at her kindly. "If you truly want to be like me then revel in the slaughter, destroy anyone and anything that gets in your way. Then after a while, your power will be as great if not greater than mine."

Scarlet smiled very gently, her eyes closing as his lips met her forehead. She loved sweet gestures like that. Her eyes followed him across the room once more as he lit up another cigarette. Good thing he was immortal, no human could out smoke Shadows. She was sure not even an immortal could do that. "Shadows, as some one close to you... i do wish you wouldnt smoke so much. Even though it doesnt matter much, i care about your well being and smoking is no good for you." her eyes were large and innocent as ever, her slender body still on the floor. "Of course, you wont, It was a silly thing to say." she looked off, remembering past events, when they had first met, how he said it was pointless to argue such a thing.
When he squatted infront of her she took his words to heart. "True Shadows, but im so easily discouraged... Im not very sure of myself." She forced a smile. "The pain i can stand, the pain i can inflict but i can only mean it, and keep going if.... if i am my feral self. Even then it takes a lot to get it out of me." Scarlet played with the sleeve of her shirt, looking at her master quietly. His words of being better than him made her shake her head. "No Shadows... I'll never be as great as you. I dont want to surpass someone i look up to." She was honestly meaning it.

Shadows smiled as he patted her head. Standing he moved over to the window again and sat on the ledge starring at her for a few moments. "I'm not saying you'll surpass me in power my pet. But your fame will surpass mine one day. I have mass amounta os infamy, people fear me." Shadows cracked his neck again as he took another hit. Exhaling as he spoke he continued. "This makes things that you would find simple very complicated for me when it comes to other immortals. Always a fool looking to try his luck with me, always the martyr for the cattle, always another hunter." Shadows sighed and put the smoke out on his hand.
Walking over he removed another and lit up. "Scarlet if I didn't smoke I'd feed and want sex even more, my celibacy can't handle any more strain.'' Turning he leaned against the wall and started speaking again . "From now on things are going to get much harder, and much much bloodier. You wanted to stay, that means you've made the choice to either sacrifice your human side or lock it away when certian times come. You must become lethal, quick and deadly.....you're power is not of open warfare. Your's is of an assassin. Does this interest you? If so I may have a trainer." Shadows smirked as he spoke.

Scarlet nodded and laid back, her hair fanning out across the floor. "I suppose thats a good reason to smoke.... But you know i am your refrigerator, and you are welcome to feed from me when you need it." her head turned in his directon, eyes fixed upon him. She found herself looking over his body, wanting it once more. Scarlet closed her eyes though, forcing it far into the back of her mind. To distract herself she hopped up from the floor gracefully and picked up her guitar. She sat back on the floor, her back against as wall as she picked along, playing tid bits of her favorite songs. Her hair hid her face because her eyes were fixed on her shoes, not even paying attention to the things she was playing.
Shadows words snapped her out of her small trance none the less. "My human side is most of me..." Her eyes looked to him with sadness. "I'm afraid of my feral side Shadows, have you seen it? Its frightening. I only really know who my fledglings are and who my master is. Everyone else is free game... And with this new power i have the world could very well come to an end if i let go." She sniffled, her body icy cold for some odd reason. "What do you mean that i am not of warfare but an assassin? Sure, i did that in my younger years, but god am i rusty... If i brush up... If i get some help..." She mused. Scarlet had been playing the whole time until she stopped just then, realizing that she had been. Then again Scarlet didnt want a trainer, she wanted to learn from Shadows himself but he was busy. He had a lot to deal with. "I guess im interested..." she finally said. "What are the details...?"

Shadows smiled as he leaned down and then crawled towards Scarlet. Once within reach he stopped licking his lips before speaking. "Well, you would be trained by me. I know the darkness inside and out. I've wiped out my share of immortals with assassination techniques. I was one of the best around 2oo years ago." Shadows crawled slightely closer as he thought. "I suppose if you're interested I could train you. I have a special area set of for this kind of training in our head quarters." Shadows spun around so he was sitting cross-legged.
Falling silent Shadows was obviously thinking about something then he nodded, taking a drag from his smoke. "I think that would work. You'll become the best assassin ever known. You could make a shit load of money that way, become well known, and have respect and fear after a while." Shadows smirk came back as he looked down at her. "Yes.......see...I can keep promises." Shadows winked as he moved to his feet. "Hmm...every Friday that will occur. The room is on basement floor 3 and it's the only room." Shadows dropped a key card. "You need that to access it." Turning he walked over and slid into the chair again. "Fuck I'm good."

Scarlet watched Shadows slowly move closer, her eyes fixed upon his massive yet graceful form. He was talking about her training and whom would, when, and what not. She was happy that he would teach her, and proud to be called one of his servants. He thought of her as a pet, but really she thought of herself a little higher than an animal. "Of course im interested in learning from the best. Not to mention he's handsome enough to hold my attention, and something about him around makes me try for things much harder." She smiled, enjoying how he gave her courage. He was sitting with his legs folded now and Scarlet shifted, resting her head upon his thigh gently. She was on her back still, gazing up at him like some sort of kitten entertained by a string.
"Thank you Shadows. You've given me far more than i deserve." and she meant that. He would take time out of his busy life to train her, allowed her to see Linx on occasions, and not to mention if she asked, he would try to complete the task if he could. It was nice to think someone cared. "Every friday, got it." Scarlet smiled and then caught the card in her teeth with a grin. Shadows moved away, taking her pillow with her. Her head thunked against the floor and she gumbled something, rubbing the sore spot. Shadows moved around far too much. Scarlet laid there, guitar across her body, card in her teeth and staring at the ceiling.
