Bodies slick with sweat, full of alcohol and drugs, pressed together upon the dance floors as though attempting to become a single entity. Amber orbs roved over the crowd with little interest. Though the club was new it was like all the rest; the music was the same, the drinks no stronger than the next club's, and the way the bodies on the dance floor moved was the same as well.
Nothing changed no matter how many years passed, it would always be the same.
Time to change that.
Downing her drink Anara slipped from her seat at one of the bars, her eyes catching the flashing lights of the club as she moved through the mass of bodies. No one touched her as she moved through the crowd, people subconsciously moving away from her. Though she was small in stature it hardly seemed to matter as Anara didn't disappear amidst the press of bodies, her red hair like a beacon.
Approaching the main DJ booth she murmured in the DJ's ear, her demeanor innocent as she pressed painted lips lightly to the male's cheek once he agreed to her request. With a satisfied expression she moved from the DJ booth and headed directly for the main stage, commanding the attention of all with little effort. Compared to many within the club she was a bit over
dressed, but her lack of exposed skin seemed to draw more eyes than those wearing next to nothing.
Shadow shrouded the stage, but it didn't seem to matter to her. In fact the darkness worked to her advantage as she let herself heed the Song forever tugging at her mind. The souls she held captive within her petite form cried out, though whether in pain or in ecstasy remained to be seen as her striking amber orbs slowly bled to black. All at once the music within the club died as though the power had been cut to the sound system. A low
whine that steadily grew in pitch began to fill the air as Anara remained within the shadows, watching as the club as a whole began to realize something was amiss. That whine became the scream of a guitar and the thrum of the bass, unseen drums completing the cacophony of sound.
"Come a little bit closer
Before we begin
Let me tell you how I want it
And exactly what I need
I'm here for one drug
I'm only here for one thing
So come on and tell me,
Can you fly like you're free
Cause I need to feel
Yeah, I need to say"
Her voice filled the air as though her vocal cords were hooked directly to the many speakers filling the club, but in fact it was all an illusion. With the Force at her command she projected her voice forth and created the music by will alone. Moving with the music even from the shadows she commanded the attention of everyone, her hips rolling as her hands gliding along her subtle curves. Though there was no fan present to blow her hair out behind her like a bloody banner her hair still moved of its own accord, further adding to the hypnotic effect as she let her power flow outward like a smog hellbent upon smothering all those present. The black of her eyes seeped outward and her complexion became paler, dark veins appearing beneath her porcelain skin as she fell to her knees and crawled forward to the edge of the stage, drawing her audience ever closer.
"I must confess,
I'm addicted to this
Shove your kiss straight through my chest
I can't deny, I'd die without this
Make me feel like a God
Music, love and sex
(Adrenalize me)
I crave excess,
Turning wine into sweat dripping down my neck
I can't deny, I'd die without this
Make me feel like a God
Adrenaline and sex"
Her hair obscured her features as she reveled in her own power, obsidian orbs watching with a sick glee as some present lost their minds to her. She could feel their weakness and she fed upon it, drawing it into herself. Thousands of voices, the voices of those damned by her hand hundreds of years ago, cried out, the voices jumbled and excited as she sipped from the souls of the weakest present. It was an intoxicating feeling and she collapsed onto her back upon the stage, her dark lips curled upward in pleasure as her eyes fluttered shut, her hands moving along her form as she stretched out like a feline.
"Get a little bit higher,
So we can fall 'til we bleed
Push a little bit harder
Pull me into the speed
So tell me, can you feel this
Come into my dream
Are you ready to awaken?
Are you ready to feed?
Cause I need to feel,
Yeah, I need to say"
Rolling back to her stomach she got to her feet, the action sensual. Her power thrummed in time with her heart, rolling off her in waves as she drew the crowd ever closer to the stage. It was apparent that some were in danger of becoming trampled, but Anara didn't relent. Instead she pushed harder as the song reached new heights. Jumping in time with the beat she worked the crowd into a frenzy so that soon they were no longer dancing, but instead were thrashing about, their frantic energy hers for the taking.
Greedily she drank it in until her song drew to an end and her power receded, ebbing like the flow of the ocean. Color returned to her skin, the dark veins vanishing as she slipped back to the shadows, her face forgotten by most. As the voices within quieted her eyes once more shone brightly, their startling amber color returned as she slipped from the stage unseen. Satisfied beyond words she ran a hand lazily through her thick hair, tongue darting out to moisten her lips as she sought to get herself a fresh drink.
