[color=palevioletred]"We have to make sure not to stay too long away from each other though. A few hours of you gone was already an agony for me. What more would it be if its days or weeks... or years,"[/color] her eyes widened at the thought. It was simply not possible. It was something she was not willing to tolerate. [color=palevioletred]"Do you think that'd happen? No, no, that's a stupid question. Of course that will never ever happen. I'll find you no matter where you are... I love you too, Alex."[/color] And after that, there were no more words as the room was once again filled with pleasured moans. A few hours later, Claudia's breathing was even and steady as she drifted off to sleep. [hr][i][color=skyblue]"A werewolf? You've got to be kidding me, Alex. This is what you've sunk to? She has an exquisite face, I give you that. Probably wild in bed too. But can you really tolerate that smell?"[/color] A faceless man stood in the middle of a stone dais flanked by two stone pillars. One had Alex chained on it, a strange looking stake embedded in his shoulder. The other pillar held Claudia, the silver chains biting through her skin as it binded her tightly to it. The faceless man turned towards Claudia. [color=skyblue]"And you... you think you're good enough for us? You have the gall to think yourself on equal footing with the gods of men?[/color] A flash of fangs. His spittle hit Claudia on her cheek. Claudia knew what the man's intentions were. He had Alex immobilized. She had to do something before he gets hurt. She thrashed against her bindings as the man turned his attention back to his mate. [color=skyblue]"And here I thought we were brothers, Alex. We're gods. We're on top of the food chain. But then you go and ally yourself with this wolf whore and suddenly all vampires are your enemy. That's bad form. Very, VERY bad form. This world doesn't need you anymore.[/color] The man pulled out another stake from somewhere in his coat. [color=palevioletred]"NO! NO! Don't touch him. Don't you dare touch him or---"[/color] Claudia screamed. Her features sharpened and her eyes turned golden. [color=skyblue]"Or what, little wolf girl? You'll break out of your bonds and tear me apart? Come on. Those are silver chains and I made an effort to put some wolf's bane in it. I dunno if it works but you know... added security."[/color] He waved the stake around. [color=skyblue]"Don't worry, don't worry. It really won't take too long. He won't even feel a thing."[/color] And with that he lunged forward and buried the stake into Alex's chest.[/i] [hr] [color=palevioletred]"ALEX!"[/color] Claudia cried out as she sat straight up on the bed, a manic look in her still golden eyes.
