The Vampire Cross

13

Conner grabbed the covers down that was touching Lilith's chin as he slid then off of her and stopped just underneath her breast. He saw her white silk pajama shirt. Her breast looked flat, but that was because she was lying down; he placed a hand on her chest, and he could feel her heart rate increase. He loved it, watching her face in clear discomfort. But at the same time, he knew he had to be careful; after all, this was Lilith. He traced his hand down as though toying with her, and he landed on her left breast. His entire hand covered it, and he couldn't help but squeeze it softly. His smile grew more, and he couldn't help but love the satisfaction he got when her face was loathing him. He rubbed it in circles, and Lilith made fists holding on to the sheets tightly. She wanted to open her mouth, but he then placed both hands on each breast.

'Why is this happening to me?' Lilith thought. It reminded him of the times she was younger, and he did the same thing. For a long time, she thought it was normal until she learned about manipulation through her class. She fought back, and he hadn't touched her since. Even when Lilith told her parents, they didn't believe her. She also saw him do it to the youngest and kicked him for it. She was telling her little sister to fight back and be strong. Now here she was weak herself. She didn't care if she had no energy; she would make it herself, grabbing the last bit of energy she had. Lilith quickly grabbed both of his wrists. Alex didn't expect Lilith's grip to be tighter than he thought, despite her lack of energy, she was still strong.

Lilith wasted no time and she turned into her Lycan form, releasing him as some of her sicknesses healed faster, and she growled at him. Her salvia dripped on the floor, looking like a hungry wolf. Her coat shined, capturing the different shades of white and purple in her room. "I warned you before," she growled. And she pounced at him, her anger filling her up, and she bit his arm he used to shield himself.

He didn't cry out in pain. His body was fake as it was made out of metal. She ripped his arm off. No blood, just technology machine work. She was on top of him, the roles changed now. She was the dominant one. She sneered, putting her teeth near his head. And his eyes widen in fear reading the predicament he was in. He knew what she was going to do. She grabbed his head and tossed it hard against her wall, making a crack in the wall as his head came down sliding, and it rolled in the middle of the room.

She felt a bit satisfied with that, and the chest of Conner's body opened. It revealed the true form of Conor, the butler, an alien-looking creature as his eyes were big and black as his skin was olive green. He walked like a human, but he had long ears folded down and a tail. "Please! I give up, " he screamed, his hands we're in the air as though Lilith pointed a gun at him.

She wanted to spit at that comment, but suddenly her head banged more, and she felt lightheaded; the room was spinning, and she knew she pushed herself too hard. Everything turned black; the last thing she heard was a text message alert coming from her phone and knowing that the crack on her wall had to be fixed before her parents found out.

Cassius already sent the text to Lilith about how she was doing, since he had her phone number. There was only 5 minute until the bell rang to end school, and an annoicnemtn came.

"Hello, students, this is your Vice president, Jackie speaking. On December 12, there is going to be a school festival filled with rides, food, and prizes to win; flyers will be posted all over the school, so make sure you invite your friends and family. And don't forget on January 4th is going to be the start of our winter break for two weeks, so make sure you do well in all of your classes so you can deserve a peaceful two-week vacation. That is all for announcements today." The announcement came to an end, and many side conversations sounded excited more for the school festival then it did for winter break, or perhaps that was just in Cassius' mind.

"Settle down class. We still have three minutes left, so pay attention, as I discuss what your homework is." The bell rang after three minutes just as the instructor said, and Cassius saw Jessica on the other side of where his locker was. She was putting away her books as Cassius got her attention.

"Hey Jessica, are you going home?" Cassius asked.

"No, I'm going to go to my magic club today," Jessica remembered about the incident regarding Cassius the other day, and she couldn't help but get embarrassed . "Even though I accidently turned you into a rooster, I know this is mean to say, but that just proves that there is hope that I really can do magic."

Cassius smiled. "I'm sure you can. Afterall it did work on me." They both chuckled, and Jessica looked away, her cheeks still red.

"Well, I'm going to head to my club now but before I do. We should definitely go to the school festival next weekend. What do you say?" She said. It seemed to take her confidence away as she looked down.

Cassius smiled still. "Sure, that doesn't sound bad." Jessica looked up at him and smiled.

"Really?"

"Yeah, why not. After all, I have never been to a monster festival before."

"Alright, then. I'm going to head off now." Jessica said and said bye as she turned and walked away. Cassius walked away, and once he was waiting for the bus stop to get to his home, he suddenly felt a chill behind his spine, and there was Skylar. Her predator's eyes were staring at him from across the street, and she opened her wings and flew right next to him a few feet away.

Cassius felt his body tremble again. But he held onto his cross, and his left arm was straight down clenching. "S-Skylar." he cursed his voice for stuttering. Why couldn't he get rid of this feeling? "What do you want. I t-told you t-to not t-talk to me anymore."

Skylar bent down as though Cassius was a king. Cassius didn't even feel close to one. He never could with her.

"Cassius, I don't think I can live this life, knowing you hate me so. So I have decided to become your slave for life. You can do anything you want to me, beat me, scream at me, fuck me. I don't care." She looked up at his frightened eyes; nothing of what she said seemed to register in his mind. She touched her neck where the bite mark was and revealed it to Cassius. "This is proof that I belong to you; this is how vampires show discipline or mark their mate. But obviously, it is for displine, and I'm fine with that. Just please accept me as someone, anybody else, except for one who would ever harm you or is considered a rapist. Please, Cassius, I feel as though if I don't have you accept me, then I will-"

"No," Cassius said stern; he was surprised by how direct it was; it even showed in Skylar's eyes to. She stared at those two glossy eyes and saw the audacity of dislike towards her.

"I won't listen to you, Cassius, until you agree to be my master!" Skylar said.

"Skylar, I will never own you as though I'm better than you. I'm better than that. You should be better than this. Why not go and find...and find.." Cassius was trying to think of something, but nothing came; he only wanted to get away from her. He sighed again; it seemed to catch up to him. "Skylar, just go and find what makes you happy, without me."

Skylar looked at the floor, her hair covering her face, and Cassius was afraid of what her expression looked like underneath, but she just kicked the bench of the bus stop causing it to get cricket, and she opened her wings and flew away without another word. And just like that, she was gone. But Cassius had a feeling she would come again soon. The bus arrived, and Cassius wasted no time getting on the bus.
