Reckoning:Those whom have connections with Shadows

[scarletcross]

"Awwww.... dont be so crabby! You know you enjoyed it you silly boy." Scarlet giggled, coming to a halt, her whole being radiating happiness. She then sighed. "Oh dont ruin it for me will you?" She gave him a slanted smile. "But go on." Scarlet looked up at him slightly, her eyes fixed on him and her ears pricked and listening. he always had the oddest things he wanted her to do. The first, she understood. "Are you sure its not just because you want to watch me try to keep myself silent?" She eyed him carefully, her full fire back with ten times the intensity. "But yes, of course. I am your refridgerater." Scarlet laughed lightly, but it died away when he said something about her clothes. "Hey now... Whats wrong with my clothing?" Scarlet asked and looked down at herself. She wore a pair of skinny jeans with her boots and a bright red tank top that made her eyes brighter. Her bottom lip jutted out slightly. "Im not pretty, why would you want to see more?" she raised a delicate eyebrow.

Not expecting something to be tossed at her she funbled with the paper, but was able to catch it. She looked at the paper, apparently blank. "Oh." She blushed and turned it over to see the small dragon design. "Well thats cool.... I dont know where i would put it that you could see it all the time though..." Scarlet examined herself, thinking. "I would put it on the back of my neck, but my hair covers that..." her eyes looked to watch Shadows scale a light pole, and sit there. "Any suggestions to help me..?" Scarlet asked in a gentle tone. "Why do you always ask me what i have to say..? Its usually a smart mouth comment that comes from me. But yes. I agree to all of it. Though i dont under stand your reasoning behind my clothes..." She looked thoughtful, for she liked the clothes she wore.

[shadows]

Shadows sighed and dropped his head as his shoulders slumped. Staying like gthat for a few minutes he was utterly still. Looking like a statue of a fallen angel life flooded back into his body as he turned his entire body to face her. "That may be a little bit of it to. I find it amusing. About your clothing next." Shadows stood and stepped off the pole bending his knees slightely as he hit the ground. "You are quiet pretty but your self esteem I find annoying. It's not the fact that i want to see more it's the fact that with proper clothing and a stylist to fix your hair you'd look astounding. And that's what I need for one of my two entourage. Through you and Aiden, once I find her and tell her the same. I'll show my power and influence. " Shadows glanced around after he finished.

Looking back at her he raised an eyebrow. '' I don't care where you put it. If you'll always be wearing shirts that show off your stomach put it there. Put it on your face,throat, forehead I don't care as long as it's always visable." Shadows spoke as he pulled out his custom hand gun and checked it absent mindedly. Looking back at her he sighed for no reason.

[scarletcross]

Scarlet looked up at Shadows with soft eyes. "I dont know how to look astounding. I dont know how to make my hair look pretty. I thought i looked just fine." none the less Scarlet shrugged and off came the tank top. Her black lacy bra was all that was left. "There... better...?" She questioned in a quiet voice, her eyes rolling. She shoved her tank top into her belt and let it hang there. "Ugh..." She sighed. Scarlet hated having to change her appearance for someone elses satisfation, but it didnt matter. He offered her something that she couldnt refuse, nor would she, no matter what the task. The slight breeze made her cold, making her shudder a little. "But, i shall do what you wish." Scarlet heaved a sigh.

She paced a little in an attempt to warm up, her red hair swaying slightly as she contemplated the placement of her tattoo. "Either my forearm... or the center of my chest... Im unsure." She said more to herself than Shadows. Her eyes watched the gun he pulled out and listened to his sigh. "Are you bored of me already? Or is something the matter?" Scarlet asked, stopping infront of him. She had her arms wrapped around herself, trying to force down the goose bumps.

[shadows]

Shadows looked up from his weapon absent mindedly and slid it back into its place. Raising an eyebrow he crossed his arms over his chest. "If I were bored with you then I'd find a way to entertain my self at your expense....or pleasure." Turning he waslked over and pulled the chair back out and slid into it. Rubbing his eyes again he looked back up at her and sighed. "When I killed my sire I made alot of enemies, very strong enemies." Shadows leaned back and stretched before speaking again. "The closest thing we have to a central power is the elder council in Italy. Well my sire was apart of that council and I killed him. Some of the oldest vampires in the world are after me." Shadows smirked. 'So I'm a little stressed."

Suddenly the chair slammed into the wall and shattered as Shadows was wrapped around her torso, his fangs breaking the skin. Before the pain from the bite could set in he crushed through Scarlett's barriers with his power. Controling his energy as it moved inside of her he used it to roll her mind and body at the same time. Using half of his power it would be the most pleasure she'd ever felt in her entire life either mentally, physically or emotionally. The bliss was so overpowering that Scarlett would realize all the times before Shadows had done this he wasn't even using a sixteenth of it's capabilities when now he was usuing half. Shadows let out a low mewling growl as he fed, his lips curved in a smile as he pulled gently at her throat but hard enough to add more to his power.

[scarletcross]

She gaped at him. "really? Only a little? Me, being the strange and stupid person i am would have gone insane... but you have proven yourself to be quite a different breed." Scarlet smiled gently. "not that its a bad thing. You're actually intetresting to tell you the truth. There is always something new and different that i learn about you each time we meet." She watched him pull the chair out again and wondered why he put it back in the first place. Maybe it was that there were so many things on his mind it just sort of slipped. Scarlet would never blame him for that. Durning his time of silence she had determined the placement of her tattoo. It would begin at the base of her throat there her collar bones ended and there was a dip between them. Then it would end above her brests. Scarlet figured that would be the best spot since she often wore low collared shirts.

Just as she was about to announce her desicion there was a smash and then heat around her. Shadows form was there, his teeth sunk deep into the soft skin of her marble neck and his arms wrapped around her like an iron cage. Her mouth hung in mid air, and she smapped it shut just in time for his power to roll her body, and her mind. It was more than Scarlet had ever even dreamed of. Her knees buckled, though she stayed straight due to Shadows grip. Scarlet could feel her body begin to shake, her breathing quicken and her motuh finally gave way. The noise that emitted from her was loud, low, and pleasured. It was cut short none the less. It felt like her throat was coming away from her neck, and she gasped. "Sh- Sha..." Scarlet moaned softly, trying to repress the noises the best she could. "Shadows.... Don- Dont kill me.... 'k-kay...?" She shuddered, letting another little moan to escape-

[shadows]

Shadows released his grip and pulled his now lightely pink fangs from her throat and smirked as some of her blood ran down his chin. Stepping foreward he crouched down at her and lifted her chin. As he smirked the tips of his fangs were visable just below his lip, he hadn't extended them completely. Dark crimson eyes starred at her with a slight neonish glow to them. "So it looks like I finally won in the end." Shadows stood and starred down at her. "I thought I'd have to fight to get you to make noise....that wasn't very hard." Shadows smirked again with arrogance.

Turning he walked back over to his chair and threw himself into it. Glancing around he sighed and checked his weapon again. Looking up his eyes were still glowing from the fresh feeding. "Find some way to entertain me untill the others arrive or I'll find a way to entertain myself." His voice was alow whisper as he spoke that seathed with venom and boredum yet a light tone all at once. Crimson eyes blined boredly at her as he holstered his weapon.

[scarletcross]

Scarlets hand flew up to her throat, seeming to sheild it from further harm. She gasped as she sat here, still shaking all over. "Oh shut up Shadows." She frowned at him. her fingers wiped at the blood on her throat and examined the crimson liquid on her pale hand. "I'll remember that next time. No noise for you. I'll make sure of it..." Scarlet narrowed her emerald eyes at him. He had changed so much ever since she joined him. Scarlet thought there would be at least a small part of friendship, as when they first met. He was much mroe relaxed then and didnt demand so much of her. Now it was 'Scarlet must do this' and 'Scarlet must do that'. Strangely, she missed his odd freindliness that was there in the begining.

Once again his demands spewed from him. Scarlet shook her head and just sat there on the ground. "Im not a slave Shadows. Havent you heard of entertaining yourself and not doing so by tourturing me?" She asked with a soft innocent tone. Her voice was crackling a little because of ther slight damage to her throat. It would heal none the less. "But fine. I've decided where i want my tattoo." She nodded and then pressed a long finger to the dip between her collar bones and at the base of her neck. "It will start here..." Her finger slid down above the begining of her brests. "and end here. Good enough?" She asked. "I often wear low collared shirts so at least half will always be showing." Scarlet then pulled her red tank top back on, being chilled.

[shadows]

Shadows raised an eyebrow as she spoke and considered for a moment. Standing he shook his head slightely with a smirk on his face. "Very well, that place is fitting for my mark. All this buisness is wearing me out but I cannot leave untill the call stops and the others either come or do not answer." Sighing Shadows sank back down into his seat and pressed his fingers onto his eyes like so many times before. "Alright, that's it. You can go if you want, no sense in both of us waisting our time."

Shadows stretched out on the chair and laid his head back against the cushioning that was left on the chair. Starring up for a few minutes the crimson eyes rolled back in his skull as his lids closed. Using his power he bypassed Scarlett and sent the call out to those whom was left of his group that hadn't arrived. This call was much stronger than the rest and much more annoyed.

[scarletcross]

"Are you eager to get rid of me? I mean, i suppose i could go get this..." She waved the paper around. "But what else am i to do?" Scarlet cocked her head to one side. "I've separated myself from Linx so i just go home to an empty house. Then what am i going to do there? I'd rather be here, bored, and with someone who is at least a little friendly." She said softly, and played with the folded peice of paper in her hands. "But if i cause you any sort of trouble I can leave." She really didnt want to. Scarlet hated to be alone. There was no chance that she would test his promise now. It was too early to run off to Linx.

Scarlet leaned her head back and the rest of her body came with it. She laid there, sprawled out on the ground with her hair fanned out. "I dont think any one else is showing up. Its been this long and not even one other person has shown up." She stared into the night sky, her eyes seeing Linx's sparkling eyes amoung the stars. They always reminded her of him. "At least i know better than to make you wait... even though you should have torn me apart."

[shadows]

Shadows sighed and leaned his head back on the chair exposing the long line of muscle from his throat to the beginning of his groin. A low emmitted growl rolled from his throat and chest as impatience started to set in. "I'm going to shred the flesh from their bones I swear to christ." Shadows snarled into the night sky. Raising his head he glanced around for a few seconds and starred a while at Scarlett. Standing he drug the chair behind him untill he was sitting on it behind herhead and leaned foreward looking down at her his eyes filled with curiosity. "What are you thinking about and why, besides Linx. Just explain how your mind works....I don't understand it."

Shadows sat patiently awaiting the answer. Out of everything in the world Shadows understood female minds the least and he figured he might as well educate himself in the free time. Leaning foreward a little more his fangs were still slightely extended. "Tell me why females can go from being fine to depressed in a matter of milliseconds, tell me what they find is....shit what's the word...."hot" and tell me why they cry when they're angry sad and happy at the same time." Shadows scowled as he thought about it.

[scarletcross]

Scarlet blinked, her eyes confused as to why the stars had disappeared. "Well hello there." She smiled sweetly at him, her cheeks flushing the slightest bit because of the surprise. His eyes were oddly curious, something that she had never seen in him. "What am i thinking about? Well, i was thinking about linx, but you said besides him. I was thinking about how i missed you being around... You are like a really... uhh... morbid.. big brother to me." Scarlet shrugged a little. "I guess its because i look to older, stronger male figures that way. Maybe its because i always feel so alone... Who knows." She closed her eyes for a moment, then opened them back up and gazed into his eyes.

"Okay okay..." Scarlet said giggling. "For me... well im a bit Bi-polar. thats why im that way. I dont know how other women are but i will explain how i work." she took a breath and then began. "I have many, MANY different things on my mind at once. So i can go from bunnies and butterflies to death and dispair.... But i like both. Nevermind that." Scarlet laughed softly. "Sorry, that probably confused you..." She prodded with a sly grin. "Uhm... what i think is hot... Well i like eyes. Like yours when your not all rawr. Thier such a handsome green color. And Linx's... The most beautiful silver..." Scarlet blushed a bit. "But i also like guys that i know can protect me. Strength. I also like the dark and mysterious guys, but i like the funny ones too. All of this depends on the girl." Scarlet brushed her fingers along Shadows jaw. "And sorry, but i any a touchy feely person. You might have to get used to a little hug or something every once in awhile. but moving on."

Scarlet tried to read his eyes, she wondered what he was thinking right at this moment. "Well, you see... When girls get upset we bottle it. We dont stright out beat the crap out of people. When it gets to be too much... All the emotions come out. Its like an overload. Sad, okay, i dont cry a lot when im too sad. So i dont know about that one. Happiness... Well sometimes its overwhealming. Like just a few moment ago. I was prepared to accept living without Linx... my body was braced for that. But when you said i could, it caught me off gaurd. Only a few things make my cry when im happy." Scarlet looked at Shadows with a soft expression. Her mind wandered, her thoughts clouded with Shadows and memories of the first time they met. "Ahh... you are so tempting sometimes." She shook her head with a smile.

[shadows]

Shadows listened intently being completely silent yet with eyes that never blinked, taking in every piece of knowledge that came forth. The only signs that he was actually listening was the occaisional scowl or the raising of the eyebrows when she mentioned something he foundeither stupid, confusing, annoying or all three mixed into one. Shadows scoffed slightely. "Big brother? I don't want any family be them brothers or sisters. I'm not related to you in anyway and I'm not going to beat up another guy for making fun of you." Shadows smirked as he spoke.

As she continued and explained the females Shadows rolled his eyes or scowled many times. "Then why don't you just start hurting people when you get pissed? Tears are a sign of weakness and that sign can be very deadly now more thn ever." Shadows shook his head and starred down untill she spoke. "And what exactly do you mean by tempting....I want it explained." Shadows' fangs were still slightely extended as he spoke flashing how dangerous he still was in his learning form.

[scarletcross]

Scarlet narrowed her eyes, the green getting darker. "Alright. Fine. You're some asshole i picked up off the street. Is that better?" She huffed, the rush of her sweet smelling breath hitting his face. "I can take care of those people. I was just meerely stating in a non-direct way that i look up to you. And its creepy when you stare like that." Scarlet laughed at the wide eyed expression he had had the whole time she was talking. Finally she sighed again, rolling her eyes. "Because girls are different than boys. We're not all violence oreintated." She smirked at him, her soft lips streaching gracefully. "And again. The staring... " Scarlet said, waving a hand before his face.

"The tempting part? I'd rather not embarrass myself further tonight. mmkay?" She said, a devilish grin appearing. "But... since you will be horribly mean to me and force it out anyways...." Scarlet grumbled, looking to the side at the brick wall, her eyes trailing up the crack he had made there earlier. "The look you've always got in your eyes. The devilish glint. The whole structure of you body. Everything you do wants me WANT you. As wrong as that is for me to say i will admit it. I want you. You are sexy. Bleh. There. I said it." Scarlet rolled her eyes and blushed a deep red color. She felt terrible for saying that when she was taken, but she couldnt lie to Shadows, and Linx would understand. He knew that Scarlet loved him more than anything in the world.

[shadows]

Shadows smirked down at Scarlett for a few seconds before standing slowly. "I know Scarlett, I've always known, it doesn't matter how hard you try and hide what you really want it always comes out and someone always knows.No matter what you try." Shadows lifted the chair and shattered it over his knee. Kicking the pieces back towards the dumpster. Turning his power tendrils reached out slowly in search for others. No other immortal was comming and Shadows anger and annoyance spiked.

Shadows turned and smirked as his eyes raked slowly over her body. Heat resignated from his body as he stalked towards her. Walking down to her feet Shadows dropped slowly to his hands and knees and crawled up her body. Smirking as his body parts drug over the sensative parts of the female anatomy as his energy coursed through her body. Shadows stopped as his face came level with hers, his fangs slightely elongated. "Hold very still my little butterfly." Shadows pushed her face to the side and kissed lightely down the line from her jaw line to her throat just as his power slammed into her. Grinding his hips so his anatomy was grinding against hers at the same time his fangs scraped lightely over her flesh as a last burst of energy targeted her "core". Shadows smirked and gripped the bottom of his trench coat. With a twirl of it Shadows was no where to be seen,heard, or sensed but his echoeing laugh filled her head. "Hmmmm, I'll see you again soon Scarlett my pet, continue to serve me well Crimson Butterfly and you will never want." And with that Shadows was gone.

[scarletcross]

Scarlet stuck her tounge out at the dark being that hovered above her. "Yeah, and you only get amusement out of it and make fun of me." she glares off, looking at the wall again. The crash of the chair being broken made her twich in surprise, but the following crashes bothered her none. He was sending the disgusting chair back to the dumpster once more. There was a pause and Scarlet could feel the tension in the air pick up. She knew in that instant Shadows hadnt found anyone coming. "God help them." She breathed as her eyes flicked over to the very much annoyed male figure.

The look he was giving her gave her cause to worry, for only god knew what he was thinking about doing to her. Her eyes followed his movement around her body to her feet. She raised an eyebrow as her knelt down, his body brushing hers. There was a spark, followed by the steady flow of his energy though her veins. Scarlet gasped softly, her eyes closing for a moment as he trailed over the areas no one but Linx was allowed to touch. Scarlet wished she could deny him, she wished that she could stop him but there was nothing she could do besides not tell Linx. Shadows face was above hers, and she gulped as he moved her head to the side. She was breathing faster now, her heart racing as Scarlet watched his moves.

Scarlet gave a little "uh-huh" In reply to his order to keep still Her body was ridgid, and her heart thumped loudly. A gasp echoed against the walls of the alley they were in when his lips touched her neck. She shuddered almost instantly, and hoped he hadnt noticed. All at once it felt as though her body was thrown again the ground, her body arching and her jaw clentching shut. Her hands made fists as she slowly adjusted. His fangs scraped her throat, making her gasp again and then a shot of energy touched places that had never been reached before. As much as she wished to, Scarlet kept herself silent, only a high squeak coming from her. Then it was over. Scarlet sucked in a breath of air, her body in utter shock as she laid there, a twich or two crawling up her spine. Her foggy eyes looked around, but Shadows was gone. She even hauled herself up into a sitting position as his last words floated through her mind.

Oddly, those words reminded her of God.
