Tainted Love- Chapter One

Chapter One1

Cy hissed as she slid from one shadow to the next. Her father had sent her to fallow this young wizard that had recently entered their land. She looked him over. He didn't seem to be of any threat. Even though he was bigger than her, she wasn't worried; her magik was much more powerful than his. She hissed again. She had been in her shadow state for far to long, existing as a shadow was tiring, even for one so practiced as her.2

"Who goes there" The wizard whispered eyes widening. Cy giggled. How cute. She thought. He had a reason to be scared. She was a taint, an ill tempered one at that. She hissed again to see his reaction. A light sweat broke out on his forehead and his hands twitched nervously. She laughed out loud at that one then immediately hissed in anger. Smooth Cy, blow your cover. She saw light flair up in his hand.3

"Don't you dare Make that light any brighter and I swear to the demons I'll bite you." His eyes widened even more, but he kept his light low.4

"What are you?" 5

"Your the wizard here. You tell me." She hissed again, annoyed. Taints weren't allowed to hold the title of wizard. It was too proper for them. Or so they had been told. There for taints didn't have much respect or patients for those who thought themselves better than them, especially wizards.6

He rolled his eyes, his voice becoming annoyed. "Save me the pain of a guessing game and tell me."7

Cy giggled and slid silently around the clearing so she was behind him. To her delight his shadow overlapped with the trees and she slipped into it right behind him. "Guessing games are fun though." She hissed in his ear. He instantly spun around and threw out his light. She cursed as she painfully became herself again. "I told you not to do that."8

"What the fuck are you?"9

"Shadow Vamp Taint" Cy said running her teeth over her long canine fangs. The only way she even resembled a vampire was with her long fangs filled with potent poison. Other than that, she was mostly shadow, like her mother. 10

"Get away from me!" The young wizard whispered fearfully, eyeing her fangs with great dislike. Cy giggled and hissed at him playfully.11

"Thatsss right," She hissed putting great emphases on her S's "I did sssay I would bite you if you made your light any brighter. And much brighter you did. Hisssss"12

"Touch me and I'll kill you." 13

"Kill me?" She laughed eyes glinting dangerously. "Look scum-wiz just because you can hold a proper title and are about twice my size doesn't mean you can kill me."14

"I am not scum." He replied angrily.15

"All wizards are, not yet has one proved me wrong." She hissed back fading slightly into the shadows behind her. 16

"Come back here now or I'll bring my fathers army down upon your clan and all its filth." Then Cy recognized him. She hadn't paid much attention to his looks until then. He had jet black hair and crystal blue eyes, a strong stubborn chin and extremely sexy muscles (she hated to admit it, but he did.) But that's not what gave his name away. It was his crystal eyes and black hair that made her recognize him as prince Jon. Same crystal eyes that had peered fearfully over the edge of the blanket 12 years ago.17

"Well, well Jon. I haven't seen you sense you were 4 yrs old." She said in a sing-song voice. He didn't remember her now. But he would soon enough.18

"I don't know you." He said almost as if it were a question. Cy slipped completely into the shadows and circled around him cooing gently creating a soft breeze. She smiled as she saw him stiffen, buried memories slowly filtering back. 19

"Little Jonny, come out and play." She whispered, her voice as clear as if she had yelled, and watched as his eyes sparked with fear and anger. That had been her first mission. Become prince Jonny's monster under the bed. She had only been two at the time, but she was vicious and powerful and already having a huge grudge against wizards, had been perfect the job.20

"I'm dreaming. You're not real. You are just a childhood memory."21

"Oh Jonny" She said seductively. "You are wide awake my prince, and I am as alive and as real as you are."22

"Then let me touch you." He said sternly. She walked out of the shadows, her normal self, and looked at him as if he were insane.23

"You want to touch me? Do you have any idea who wickedly wrong that sounds?"24

"Just come here." He scowled. 25

"No." Cy said. She didn't trust him. If he touched her he could put her under a spell. She didn't feel like biting anyone to get out of a sticky situation.26

"Why not? Are you scared?" He taunted.27

"I'm tainted enough with out having your scum all over me." Cy said haughty. He wasn't any better then she was. She studied his features looking for any reaction she could pick up on and throw back at him. But one didn't come, instead his features softened making him look as kind and as handsome as ever.28

"I'm sorry for what my great-great grandfather did to your people. But there is nothing I can do to change that right now. Just please come here, I want to find out if you are real or not."29

"I told you I am." She didn't want his sympathy and she didn't like that he was being kind to her. Her emotions had been toyed with enough. He looked at her and a spark of longing crossed his eyes before he dropped his gaze and blushed. Cy smiled. Now that is something I can use against him. She thought.30

"Like what you see?" She asked opening up her arms and twirling slowly. He was, after all, another horny teenage guy. And she happened to be one beautiful taint. 31

"I...uhm...er." He stuttered then stood strait up. "Come here."32

Cy looked at him. Her silver moon eyes glazing over with innocence and confusion. There was something in his tone that made her knees weak and made her hold her tongue and be nice. She took a timid step towards him crossing her arms over her chest hugging herself close. It wasn't just an act of fear and innocence, it was real. 33

"I won’t hurt you I promise." He whispered gently as she moved closer. He reached out and touched her cheek. Then pulled his hand away as she hissed and jumped back.34

"Don't do that." Cy almost whimpered. His hand was so warm and gentle, she had never felt something like that before. She didn't like the tingling sensation it sent over her body very much either.35

"I'm sorry." He said smiling slightly. He knew what it had done, he could see her trembling. He studied her eyes. Half moons black as his hair for pupils and a sparkling silver for her irises. So beautiful. "To answer you question, yes. I do like what I see."36

Cy snickered, trying to hide her blush. If this was a game of his it’s getting on my nerves, if this isn't a game then its still getting on my nerves. She thought. Then suddenly was on her guard and swept her self back into the shadows.37

"Little Jonny, come out to play, come visit tomorrow, or forever go away." She sung as she sped through the shadows home. Jark, her brother, had crept close to where she and the prince had been and she didn't want him to tell her father that she had been flirting with a wizard. They wouldn't understand what they had cursed her too when she was young, they wouldn't understand the effect he had on her now, nor the effect she had on him.38
