Monster Hunting

[Onrai]

Pausing, Vitor thought of the situation. He could either let her at him again, and risk being drained, or he could hold her back and let her calm down. Seeing that she needed it, he decided to do the one thing he had been planning from the very beginning: he kissed her.

Pressing his lips to her own, he allowed her fangs to gently pierce his lower lips, blood running directly into her mouth as he wrapped his arms around her shoulders - but over hers, so if she struggled for two long, he could still pull away. With that, he held her close as she received the nourishment she needed, until a message spoke directly into her mind.

Pull away. Remember to pull away.

As the blood seeped into my throat, it was all I could think about. Vitor's arms were firmly around my shoulders, so I slid my arms up his back and rested my open palms on his shoulder blades. I could hear him faintly in my head, reminding me to pull away. But it was becoming more and more difficult to.

Because the nicks to his lower lip were so small, he would not be sent unconscious anytime soon. His hands brought themselves to her cheeks, caressing them lovingly. I'll always be here for you, Mivala. But you have to listen to me. Pull back. Stop sucking. Maintain control. Please... He placed his arms on her own shoulder blades as he continued to kiss the vampiric woman slowly taking his energy to sustain herself.

I tried to listen to him, but my instincts made him so muffled... My rational mind began struggling to come back to me. I needed to stop. I was going to kill him. Stop. STOP! In one instant, I pushed him away from me hard. The momentum sent me into the wall and I stayed propped against it. My eyes stared at him hungrily, his blood dripping from my lips. I pressed my hands out against the wall. ".......You fool. Why did you let me.......Could have killed you......." Was all I could muster. My thirst was not quenched. I stood as far away from him as I could, trying to control my urge.

"I'm strong enough to deal with you were you to do that to me." He paused, smiling as he ran a salve-coated finger over his lips, healing them once again. "Mivala... Look at you. Look at what you just did. Do you understand how important that is?" He smiled, looking at her and running a hand over her cheek. "You resisted. You moderated yourself, Mivala. That's the first step."

With a soft smile, he moved to embrace her again, but this time from behind, kissing her cheek as he ran a hand down the front of her waist. "You did it. I'm so proud of you..."

I curled my hands into fists, trying to force my instincts to subside. His pulse was in my head. His scent was all I could think of. My throat ached from lack of blood. It burned. The temptation to take more from Vitor was almost too strong for me. I needed to calm myself. I began focusing on my breath. It was heavy and uneven. I felt the rise and fall of Vitor's chest, and began trying to mimic it.

"That's right... Breathe in and out. Focus on breathing. Take your mind off of blood..." He smiled, running his hands slowly over her shoulders. "Calm yourself down... You're doing a wonderful job, Mivala." Nuzzling into the crook of her neck, he ran his hands up her torso, feeling each breath as she slowly began to cool herself down.

"I love you."

 

[Mivala Fallon]

I closed my eyes as I felt his hands. "Vitor.....What are you....Doing...." I breathed. It felt very nice, but something told me that it wasn't quite appropriate. Nevertheless, I let him do so.

"Helping you take your mind off of it..." He paused, moving his hands to her shoulders, slowly running them and giving her a careful massage, his own eyes slowly beginning to turn yellow themselves. "You and I are together, Mivala." He smiled. "And I know of a way you can get your energy without having to try and drain me." Vitiate was in control, just as he was when first with Lilith. He felt that Mivala was good for Vitor. He wanted her and him to be together, to let her darkness finally consume him and bring him to the Dark Side naturally.

He needed to fall.

I could sense the sudden change in his aura as he spoke to me. It was as if Vitor was gone for a moment. "Vitor..." I said shakily. Somehow, I knew that he couldn't hear me.

"Vitor is still here... Somewhat." He smiled. "I want to do as I did with him and Lilith. I want to bind him to you so that you may help him realize and accept the darkness that resides inside of him. He can be such a good Darksider... but he steadfastly refuses to turn, no matter what happens. Lilith wanted him to turn to the Dark Side too, as she and her children were purely Dark, but he still chose not to. But you... you can turn him." And with that, he gently leaned back, Mivala still gently in his embrace. "There is only one way you can keep him with you."

 

[Mivala Fallon]

He pulled me backward with him until we were on the bed. "I don't even accept the darkness within myself," I said. "Why should I force another into doing so, Vitiate? Do you hope to regain your hold on him should he fall?" I was onto him now.

[Onrai]

"No... I have no reason to exist were he to fall. He would be the darkness, and I would not need to exist any longer." With a soft smile, Vitor, or rather, Vitiate, moved to give her another kiss. "A child will bind him to you, another conduit to pour darkness into him so he may finally fall and accept it." And for a moment, his eyes flickered back to blue, before returning to their Sith coloration.

"He does love you, you know. And he'd want this eventually. But only this way would it taint him further."

[Mivala Fallon]

"And do I have a say in this matter?" I spat at him. "I will not allow you to force him into this. It is his choice, not yours. I will have no part of it." I said firmly. I removed his hands from me and stood up.

"Then let us find out whether deep down, he wants to bed you as his wife or not, shall we?" And with that, Vitiate receded back, leaving a stunned, if not surprised, Vitor.

"Well... I don't know what to say. He was right... I do love you. And I want you to stay with me so we can grow closer. So my children may have a mother once more. And perhaps, one day soon, we could have children. You and I." He facepalmed, immediately regretting saying that last part. "If we're, you know, compatible, that is." he paused, feeling as though his chances at romance were slowly fading away. It saddened him a bit.

"And I still want to help you learn to control your bloodlust."

I crossed my arms. "I did not say I would leave. I merely refuse to be the reason that you lose yourself to the Dark Side." I got in very close to his face, my eyes locking with his. "And you can tell Vitiate that I will not let you become corrupted. Even if it means that I must kill you." I paused, letting the power of my words sink in. The truth was that I cared for him. I did not know if it was love, but it was something strong enough to keep me there with him.

"That only happens if you were to entrap me through you getting pregnant with my child while Vitiate was in control. He was the one who trapped me with Lilith, though I grew to love her and accept her as my wife regardless. And you, well... You're the first one I've ever felt feelings for without being entrapped through Vitiate's wiles. Were we to... erm, mate... while I was in control, there would likely be no issues."

Pausing, he smiled. "Hug?"

 

[Mivala Fallon]

For the first time since I'd met Vitor, I smiled genuinely. I slid into his arms. "I am happy for you, then."

"Are you willing to?" Now that Vitor was in control, Vitiate would not be calling the shots this time around. He gave her a soft kiss on the cheek, smiling. "If we do this... we'll be together forever. Until the day either you or I pass on. I want you... I need you. You're the one who can keep me in control while I help you learn control as well. We're..." He paused.

"We're a superb fit."

 

[Mivala Fallon]

I sighed. Did I want this? To be with him? To raise his children? To have children? I had been alone since the day my parents died or abandoned me. Yet here, I was no longer. Here, I could be happy. I knew in this that I had my answer. "Yes," I whispered. Then I kissed him.
