The Interview (Valik)

[valik]

Valik was toying with the woman underneath him. She wanted to play with him but his games were for keeps. He ran a hand down along the woman's body when he saw her hand come up he didn't even cringe as she smacked him across the cheek. He looked down at her with a smirk coming to his face. He gripped the woman's throat that much tighter but remembered she wasn't to be his toy tonight. "You should be feeling lucky for tonight you play with Hiro and not me. Such a shame... We could have had so much fun."

He then heard Hiro's words and looked over at him with a grin. "I agree. I have never seen such a worthless thing in all this time." He ran his thumb nail along the woman's neck. He heard Hiro's next words of wanting to see his face and looked down at the woman. "Looks like you are being moved again." He got up on his feet and then lifted her by the throat forcing her to get up with him even having her press against him so that he could turn her around.

He moved the two of them over to Hiro and gently laid her down on him her back against Hiro's front. And it wasn't out of gentleness for her but gentleness for Hiro. He forced her legs apart so that he could straddle Hiro from between them and used his free hand to yank her down so her legs wrapped around his waist if she wanted to do so. He kept his hand on her throat before speaking staring her in the eyes. "Don't move."

He pulled off his jacket after letting go of her throat and tossed it on the ground. He then took off his shirt and began tying her hands together. He held the make shift rope and held it down on the bed with her hands. "Now, Hiro love I think she is going to be very good now." He leaned over her shoulder and kissed Hiro lightly on the lips showing how much he was glad that Hiro had returned to him.

[hiro]

Hiro was so hungry; all he wanted to do was sink his teeth into the womans supple neck. The feeling of Valik straddling his legs brought back so many familiar feelings and it comforted him. He completely ignored the woman for a moment and relished the feeling of his lover’s body on his.

He watched passed the woman as Valik undressed his upper body. He wanted to reach out and touch him but now the woman’s blood was calling to him and his fangs clicked out sharply. He wanted to tear into her neck but nothing in the world could have stopped him from kissing Valik back, not even his hunger. He stared at Valik as he turned his head, opened his mouth and plunged his fangs into the woman’s neck. The blood exploded into his mouth and he nearly choked on it, his throat was so dry. He only closed his eyes for the first few pulls then opened them to gaze into Valiks eyes as he took long, deep draws off the now screaming woman. He couldn't hear her scream. All he knew was the taste of blood and Valiks face.

Even when the screaming died down and the woman’s heart began to slow, Hiro continued to feed.

[casander]

Casander reached the door to his lavish penthouse where he lied on the bed, awaiting for his maker to enter. The vampire was still clothed...but with Laik...such things did not last long. Casander stretched his body on the bed until he heard his phone ring. The vampire let out a groan and in a flash, answered it. Casander heard the voice on the other end and immediately slammed the phone down. Anger began to rise in the vampire.

In a flash, Casander arrived in front of a room and placed his hand on the doorknob before gasping. He was having a vision. He envisioned Valik and another vampire feeding on a woman...killing her. The vampire kicked the door open and in a flash, grabbed the feeding vampire by his head and removed him from the woman. Casander forcibly sat him on the chair and flashed his fangs,

"You. Sit. Move and I shall personally rip your head off."

Casander looked back at Valik and hissed at him before appearing in front of him. The vampire grabbed Valik by the throat and pinned him against the wall before flashing his fangs once more. Anger filled the elder vampire's eyes, "Now. Explain to me why you are about to break the rules of this city? Explain well Valik or I shall personally rip your fangs out!"

[valik]

Valik's gaze stayed on Hiro as he proceeded to lift up some making it look as though he were the one drinking from the woman. All the woman would know was someone's fangs were in her neck. She wouldn't know which one was truly doing the drinking. He stayed close giving kisses to Hiro's cheek lightly and then moved some away when he knew the woman wouldn't notice or care for anything but keeping breath going into her body.

But suddenly he heard the door flung open just as he had been moving away from the woman. Hiro was grabbed and anger came bleeding into his eyes as he went to move. He glared at Casander even as he was grabbed by the throat. "Don't threaten him, Casander." He growled out but he didn't fight the hold on his throat. Soon he was pinned to the wall and still he didn't fight. Choose your battles wisely was the way of it. "He has just now come back into my life and you can rip me to shreds but do not touch him."

His eyes shown with his anger at not being close to Hiro. He looked over Casander's shoulder at Hiro. He knew Hiro would probably be pissed about both that he was going to do. The first he raised his hand telling Hiro all was swell before his gaze went back to Casander's eyes staring him straight in the eyes. The second was going to probably piss them both off. But Hiro wasn't strong enough just yet to deal with the repercussions that would come from breaking the laws.

He still felt the hand on his throat like a collar holding him where he was wanted. He let a smirk curve his lips even as he still thought over the lie he was about to speak. Finally he began to speak. "I was hungry. You can ask the woman if it was not me that drank from her." He knew she wouldn't know who had and who hadn't. His eyes continued to show nothing as did his body language. He though looked over Casander's shoulder as he met Hiro's eyes and continued on.

"I had heard of places that the occupants were a free for all and thought this establishment was the same since I hadn't been offered any refreshment. I got hungry so I sunk my fangs into her." His eyes stayed on Hiro's eyes without any sign of if he were telling the truth or not. He knew what would happen and knew that he would still take the punishment for the crime. Or supposedly crime.

He slowly brought his eyes back to Casander and stared him directly in the eyes. He let a slow grin come to his lips. "Are we not going to the party now? I so can't wait for the main course!" His feeding fangs pulled from him. That bad part was he hadn't fed tonight but oh well, such was this life. At least he had Hiro back. His love always and he would do whatever was needed for Hiro.

Valik was utterly calm as he stood there with the man's hand wrapped around his neck. "I know the laws as well, Casander. It is all fair and I am willing to pay the price for the crime." He knew he was intelligent and had made the crime look more incriminating to himself than Hiro. He still spoke respectfully in his own way to Casander because he couldn't fault the man for what he was doing.

[hiro]

Hiro was finally starting to feel like his body was going to regenerate. He didn't care if the human lived or died? Why would he care. He didn't know the laws in the city. If he had known, he would have been more discreet....((MANIACAL LAUGHTER)) ok so he wouldn't have.

Being unceremoniously dumped in a chair by a vampire who should have been able to recognized the signs of starvation on another, older vampire really, really pissed him off. But he could do nothing about it. Just making it New Vegas and finding Valik had taken every ounce of energy he had.

"Valik' he protested in a soft weak voice, his once black eyes now a pale crimson with age looked at Valik. He didn't take his eyes off him, his face screwed up in anger and concern. The vampire had not been very careful about how he placed him in the chair and his slid out of it onto the floor in a limp heap. He reached for his long time lover. "Valik..." his voice came out little more than a whisper.

[casander]

Casander looked at Valik and listened to every word he said. The vampire's eyes narrowed and noticed his eyes look towards the weakened vampire. Casander knew fully well the vampire was starved...but he had a casino to run and a city to maintain, it was his duty and he would not let anyone interfere with his duties. Drake Legend is never pleased when he is failed...

Casander released his grip on Valik's throat but continued to glare. He retracted his fangs and looked deep into Valik's eyes, "As I told you when we first met Valik. You are holding onto the past. This vampire..." Casander motioned to the weakened vampire sitting down. "Is that past. This is all a facade for you. I can see right through you. Do not attempt to play me or I shall rip your heart out and feed it to the lycans." Casander's voice was void of emotion...strictly factual.

Casander walked to the bed and noticed the woman was in need of medical attention. The vampire looked at the woman, "Can you walk?" The woman whimpered and nodded. Casander freed the woman of her restraints and she ran out of the room. Casander watched as the vampire fell from the seat and let out a sigh. He couldn't help but feel pity for him. "He needs blood." The elder vampire turned to face Valik, "I know what you were planning to do to that woman. I saw it before you even thought of it."

Casander stepped out of the room and looked around. He saw a server with pouches of blood...no doubt an order from a guest. The vampire motioned the server to come closer and Casander took the pouches from him before ordering him to get new ones for the guest. Casander walked back to the two younger vampires and dropped the blood packets to the floor.

"Feed him these."

[valik]

Valik felt the hand taken from his throat and heard the words Casander spoke. He could have made a smart mouthed reply but instead figured with better. "Is last night not but the past as well? Wouldn't the past be five minutes ago? What happens in every minute after you have done something can be considered the past, Casander. Is that not true in any case?"

He tilted his head some. "And what precisely is the facade?" He asked but then he saw Hiro had fallen out of the chair and ran to him uncaring of what is what. He had his master, his lover, and his closest companion returned to him. It had been so long. So long. He knelt down and picked him up. He held the man against him. "He is as much my future as my past." He said looking up at Casander.

He heard Casander's next words of Hiro needing blood and watched the man cautiously. He also heard the next words of what was that Casander had seen before it had happened. He thought over his words. "Death happens. They never second guessed killing our kind, is that not true?" He watched Casander leave and return before he dropped packets of blood on the floor. He reached out and took them.

Valik had heard tell that fresh blood helped heal quicker for some reason but he wasn't saying a word on the fact since he was supposedly the one that had drunk from the woman. He held the packet to Hiro's mouth. "I'm here, Hiro love. Always am here you know that." He brushed his cheek against Hiro's hair nuzzling him gently even as he looked up at Casander. "I am as I am, Casander. You knew that the minute I was brought in."

He continued to hold Hiro gently against his chest with his legs on either side of the man. He frowned some even as he continued to hold the packet up to Hiro's mouth.

[hiro]

Hiro glared at the high and mighty little upstart. A tiger can’t change its stripes and Hiro didn’t want to change anyway. What happened to the good old days when the hunt was for humans and humans were the main course? What happened to the thrill of the chase, the taste of fear, the excitement of the feast? Obviously the little punk had forgotten all these things. Vampires used to be the lion and humans used to be the gazelle. The chase was exciting and you had to be creative and sometimes think quickly to get your meal. Now Vampires were the ranchers and humans were the fattened cows. Distaste filled his eyes.

His only gentle thoughts were of Valik. Valik was the only being in existence that Hiro loved, respected and trusted; everyone else could fuck off and die, starting with Mr. Fancy Pants Froo Froo boy. Hiro almost made up his mind to kill the little shit when the scent on him invaded his senses. Ah, so here was why he was all high and mighty. It seemed he was mated to an elder. No vampire could put off that kind of scent claim unless they were over 800 years old. Interesting. He starred at the vampire as Valik held the pouch of blood for him. It was cold and lifeless but it filled the emptiness in his body. It was at that moment he realized if this vampires mate was over 800, he wondered how far over 800 he was and decided it would be worth the wait for his mate to daywalk, and on that day, Hiro would get his revenge.

He pulled his mouth away from the pouch and licked his lips. “Does he doubt that you are capable of love?” Hiro hissed, “Or does he just have delusions of grandeur since he has an elder for a mate?” even with his soft spoken way, he sounded evil. “You cannot sow seeds on fallow soil my love.” He reached up and caressed Valik’s cheek, “They will not grow.” He wondered if Casander could see what he was going to do to him as soon as he had the chance.

[casander]

Casander looked down at the two vampires and could not help but feel for the two lovers. The vampire could not imagine what it would be like without his maker for so long. Valik watched as he held his long lost lover and let out a soft sigh. He watched as he fed Hiro as if he was a precious child...it reminded Casander of his maker...his one true love.

"Valik...I understand how are you feeling right now but you must understand my position in this city." Casander knelt down slightly, as if wanting to be eye level with the two vampires; putting them on even ground. "I am one of the original founders of this city and I must carry out Drake Legend's commands. In this world we live in...humans are scarce. If it were up to me...I would love nothing more than to hunt these blood bags like old times."

Casander paused for a few moments before continuing, "It is my duty to fulfill our king's wishes and maintain control over this city."

The vampire's eyes drifted towards Hiro's direction and narrowed his eyes at his words. Casander growled towards the weakened vampire, "Tread carefully. I can see the blood lust in your eyes. If you wish to fight me you will die. That is a guarantee." The vampire let out a low hiss, "Consider this a warning. My mate may be an elder...but be rest assured I am more than capable of defending myself. "

The vampire stood up and looked down at the two of them, "I shall leave you two alone for the rest of the evening. I will be watching you both closely." With that, Casander disappeared in a blur...contemplating on sending them both to the incinerator.

[valik]

Valik watched Casander as he knelt some in front of them. He continued to hold the packet up to Hiro's mouth. Some thought that Hiro was younger than himself but it was the opposite really. Hiro looked more boyish than himself but also didn't really dress to the gothic style that Valik did. Valik preferred the darker style because it looked more dangerous and scary to some and he enjoyed it.

His eyes stared flatly at Casander. "I told you I would take the punishment, Casander. Your standing will still be the same and only three know the truth of what happened tonight." He tilted his head. "That I drank from an unwilling woman. Pure and simple. And none will tell the difference. All saw me forcefully bring the woman in here. You yourself and those that had been behind you saw me on top of the two with my head near her neck. Your position would be held and the punishment dealt."

It wouldn't make a difference to Valik. But then he felt Hiro's head move away from the packet and looked down at him. "Hiro, my love. He believes I am but using a facade to hide myself. That I am but using this uncaring facade and such. Perhaps we should tell him that I..." His eyes slid to Casander with a slight grin curving his lips. "I destroyed people as a human just so that I could travel. I killed to troop through the world in a very war that is such a history that none still can get over it." He chuckled softly at that. "And that was just as a human!"

He felt Hiro's hand come up and stroke along his cheek before he gave a soft sound of enjoyment. It had been so long since he had felt Hiro's touch. He heard Casander's words. "Have fun with your beloved, Casander." His head came down to slide his lips along Hiro's cheek lightly as he inhaled Hiro's scent. He whispered to Hiro and grinned. "Too long, my dear Hiro. But we have eternity now."

[hiro]

The conversation with Casander was a waste of time. It was neither interesting nor did it serve any purpose other than to keep Hiro from his lover. ’Go away little man.’ he wanted to say but he didn’t say it. If he said it, the little upstart might start dramatics that would take his time away from Valik and he was not interested in that chain of events. Not as long as there was an elder in the mix.

He listened to Valik because he generally hung on his every word. Everything Valik said was of interest to him. He felt his strength returning but he was also feeling the effects of the sun, even with it an hour or two away, he felt its presence and it was making him sleepy. He knew by the time it came up, he would be in a deeper sleep than most other vampires, until he was back to full capacity. “Just let it go for now.” He whispered softly.

He waited for Casander to leave without a word. His eyelids drooped slightly. “I do not have much time before I sleep again.” He curled onto his side so he was snuggled against Valik, “I know you will keep me safe.” He murmured. “I promise, I will be strong again. And we will once again inspire terror into the hearts of man.” Then the strangest thing happened. It had happened twice since he woke up from his sleep of the dead and he had a good idea why. His arms and half his chest disintegrated into a black whispy smoke before returning to their normal state.

“Valik…if I am correct, and I usually am…I am getting my elemental powers back as my elder abilities are manifesting.” He said sleepily and looked up into the face of his lover. “Alone at last…” he said seductively.

[valik]

Valik had wanted to tell Casander that he wasn't any just run of the mill killer. Hell, how many was in the body count with him? He just wasn't quite sure. He held onto Hiro gently as he looked down at his lover. He was so glad to see him again. Valik had been just traipsing through the world which had dulled considerably without Hiro by his side. But soon he heard Hiro's words of letting it go for now. The words were so soft.

"If you need to rest I am here, my Hiro. I will never leave your side and you are very well protected." He chuckled softly at that. He still needed to check out the place just because that was how he did things. Play the good guy, enjoy the fun and then show the true colors. But this was completely backwards in a way. His thoughts though were on how Hiro would react to the punishment that Valik would receive. He was sure the two will deal with it. Three months without his feeding fangs.

But then he grinned wickedly. "Terror. Such a very enjoyable word, my beloved Hiro. Yes, we shall in time. And as for strength. You will always be strong in my eyes." But then the strangest thing occurred as he looked down at his beloved. The arms and chest of his beloved turned to a smoke looking way and then suddenly it returned to normal. He looked surprised which wasn't something that normally happened with Valik. He rarely ever got surprised.

But then he heard Hiro speaking again and blinked. "Does it hurt when it does that?" He never really understood abilities. He was a typical young vampire or rather young compared to those he was playing with at the moment. But then he heard the seductively spoken words and leaned down to run his tongue along Hiro's neck teasingly. "Perhaps you would like a taste of my blood. It has been quite some time since you have enjoyed me so thoroughly." He taunted teasingly.

[hiro]

Hiro shook his head, “No, it does not hurt, it feels good actually…free.” He said softly, “I told you, I was a shadow elemental before I was bitten. It will be good to have my back fully.” He smiled and let his head fall back with his eyes closed, the familiar feeling was no longer a faint memory but an actuality. He needed this contact sorely. “It has been too long since I have felt your touch, your blood in my veins. But I still felt the bond, as strong as ever.”

He had felt the pull of Valiks location over moment of every day after he woke up, it was as strong as the day he was swallowed up into the hole. He groaned as he moved to pull at the buttons on his shirt. He felt dirty and grimy and just wanted to climb beneath the silk sheets. “I’m hideous, I need a shower. I want to feel your arms around me and your body pressed against mine while your blood flows through my body. Oh how I missed your evil presence.” He gave up on the buttons and just tore them away since the clothing was just things he found as he made his way to New Vegas.

[valik]

Valik heard his words as he spoke so softly to him. "Yes, but to one that has no abilities save for the normal ones it is like saying you have wings and I do not." He chuckled softly at that. "I do adore seeing you put it to use." He grinned evilly at that. "My bond will always be with you no matter who tells me that is wrong. For being wrong it feels so right, my Hiro."

He heard the next words of needing a shower. "Never hideous because you are far too delicious to be that." He ran a finger along Hiro's cheek. "Then so it shall be. And I have sorely missed your evil presence as well. The world has dulled without myself by your side. We will pave a path of blood that none will ever know or have seen coming but now we must be on vacation for a time. We will play the good as we do to wait out the darkness until the storm comes. The calm before the storm, my beloved Hiro."

He brought both his hands to slide along the skin that Hiro exposed when Hiro had torn the shirt off himself. "Shame we cannot walk about naked for you are a God walking among men. A sight to behold even as blood bathes your skin." He chuckled wickedly at that before he slowly brought himself to a stand while lifting Hiro up with him. His arm underneath Hiro's knees and one about Hiro's back near the shoulder blades.

[hiro]

Hiro grinned evilly, in spite of the fact that he was so vulnerable. He knew he was safe with Valik. He was the only person in the world he trusted, ever had or every will trust in his lifetime. It was as simple as that. Hiro was an evil man with room only for one in his heart and that would always be Valik. “Think of the fun we can have with it, my lover. The terror it will inspire is arousing enough to make me want to take you with every victim.”

He reached up and stroked Valiks cheek lovingly, “I had not noticed the world. All I could think of when I woke was finding you.” He said softly. “Come, let us find a bath tub and wash the old away so that we are ready for the new.” He smiled with is crooked grin that always held a hint of mischief, “We need to be reunited properly.”
