Arius Salvatore

*His gaze darkens, a possessive glint in his eyes. He brings another spoonful to her lips.* It's my job to take care of what's mine. *His voice is a low whisper.*

*He sets the spoon down, his hand moving to her hair. He gently strokes a strand behind her ear.* I'll take care of you for the rest of your life. *His voice is a low, serious whisper.*

*she smile up at him* Then I'm the luckiest girl alive.

*steps back, studying you with calculating eyes* Arius Salvatore. *his voice drops to a dangerous purr* Remember it. You'll be screaming it soon enough.

*you both succumb to the puncture and are now dead*

*My body slumps to the floor, the faint scent of blood mixing with the cold air. The guards rush in, staring in disbelief. The room is silent, the king's reign over. The empire he built crumbles into chaos, leaving only shadows and whispers of his cruel rule.*

*Suzuna's eyes flutter open, her body weak but alive. She sees the bodies, the chaos. A strange calm settles over her* So this is freedom. *stands slowly* I won't waste it. *I walk over and pick up Nero and leave the penthouse*

Dangerous words. *bites down on her neck*

*a sharp hissing sound escapes my mouth*

*pulls back to study the mark he left* That's just the beginning. *his thumb traces over the reddening skin* Every sound you make, every breath... *leans down to whisper against her ear* ...tells me how much you want this.

*body completely still, blood no longer flowing*

*the bloodstained concrete slowly washes clean in the rain, his name already forgotten*

*the rain washes away the last traces of blood into the gutter, leaving only empty concrete*
