The Vampiress Darcia XIV

Green eyes twitched a few times before tiredly opening. The owner was so drowsy that he momentarily forgot where he was. Ah, he was in the dungeon of the council house. After realizing where he was, he relaxed against...something soft. He was awake enough to look around and he saw a delicate, pale hand draped over his lap, another was limply holding his head against what he now realized was her chest. Darcia's chest. She was holding him as a mother would hold a sleeping child.1

Talen turned his head a fraction of an inch upward to look at his sire. What he saw surprised him. He rarely saw Darcia asleep. He was always holding her as she slept but she was always turned away from him. When awake, Darcia always had an emotionless mask on, sometimes a small grin was present or maybe a seductive smirk. But when the vampiress slept, Talen thought he was looking at a fallen angel, rather than a vampire. Darcia's features were completely relaxed, at peace. Talen stared for long minutes. Trying to imprint Darcia's slumbering face into his memory. He never knew she looked so serene for a woman who seemed so cold-hearted. 2

Seeing her brought on the guilt that struck him like a slap in the face. He had left Darcia to the merciless fury of the sun. After she had done so much for him. He threw her generosity to the ground and stepped on it. She had given him a chance to leave his awful life behind. She had given him eternal life so he could forget the painful memories of when he was human. 3

Talen rested his head against his sire's chest and silent tears trickled down his pale cheeks. He cried because he knew Darcia would never forgive him. He cried because he had done so little to repay her for what she did for him. He cried because he had left Darcia to endure the one thing that made even the vampiress herself quiver in fear: sunlight.4

Sharing a bond with Talen, Darcia whimpered softly in her sleep and cringed slightly. She stirred, then golden eyes opened half-way before she cringed again, wanting to stretch and crack her back because of the position she slept in all day. However, she found that an unusual weight on her legs was preventing that. Looking down, she saw Talen quietly weeping. She remembered holding him but the crying was new.5

Frowning slightly, Darcia gently probed his mind, catching Talen's mental walls weak. After passing the blockade, she was hit with a wave of guilt and despair, followed by fear. Probing alittle deeper, she found the reason why. Talen was feeling guilt because of what he did to her and afraid that she would never forgive him for it. Under all of those emotions, she discovered love. For her. 6

    Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...



    You did a new chapter!! OMG! Well, that's more than I can say for me. My vamp/were novel went down the drain. I'll make some new crap whenever I feel the need. Anyway, this was cool. It was just a little, but it showed what your vampires were capable of; more emotion. Can't wait for some more of this stuff. But then again, I ain't pressuring you to write more.

    Hey, Gemini. Yea, I kind of get your point. This chapter was really meant to be a sort of short story that branched off from the actual plot but then I realized I'd have to include Talen's past into the chapter, which would take a few more hours so I made it the 14th chapter instead. It's 1am here. Heh. I'm feeling the fatigue. lol. I hope the last chapter catches you up. There are some loose ends in this one but when I get some sleep, I'll go back and do some editing on the this one and the 13th chapter.

    First let me say that I was shocked and had to read it a couple times before I realized that you had wrote a new chapter. However it has been so long I feel I must go back and read the last chapter to refresh my memory.......this chapter threw me a little bit because I do not remember darcia and talen reconnecting after what he did......
    On to this chapter itself....very well writen. A little bleak....not much to go on, I would have liked to have read more. But seeing as how you have been out of it for a while, I understand. Glad to see that you are back writing this story again because I sure missed it!
