Calming mineral water sooths ones mind as you enter the hotspings. The soft sounds of water giving off a relaxing vibe. The perfect place to come and just meet people or being your special someone.
Ember made her way down the stone stairs. Her dress dragging gracefully behind her as she pulls her hair out of her braid letting her jet black hair free as she steps into the water up to her waits. The ends of her hair dipping in the warm water and the steam moves around her.
Matthew made his way to the spring fallowing the scent of Ember. in one hand he held a small bottle of his own blend. and staggered taking a sip falling a few steps and catchinghimself . tying the bottle to his weist he leaned agasint the stne wall loking down at Ember..
"interesting."
He growled and made his way down the stairs and stopped at the waters edge. knealing down he smiled
"So is this in appropriate?"
He grinned removing his belt and laying it agasint a stone. unbottoning his shirt his skin in pale and smooth. leaning back a little he sits . smiling at Ember
"Its kinda hot down here. good for the pores though."
he leaned forward and gathered some of the spring water .
Ember turns and looks over her shoulder at him. Her dark purple eyes running over him as she shrugs cupping a handful of water and holding her head letting it roll over her.
"I don't see why it would be."
She says before dipping her head under the water before coming back up and ringing out her hair.
"So these drinks you make what are they?"
She asks wading to the water to sitting next to him.
She watches him letting.
"Ah I see"
She says tilting her head as he scoops up some of the warm water into his hands and encloses it with in his strong hands.
"Sure what is it?"
She asks wondering what it is he could be showing her.
he begins to roll his hands over each other holding the glob of water within the space between then moving his hands furhter apart from each other the water stays in the middle.
"Now watch closly."
He grins as he begins to fold and move his fingers. forming a rose made of water..
"Now to make it red."
he bites his lip and lets a drop of his own blood fall into the water rose. it clouded red and them formed a real rose. the smell sweet and its peddles soft as silk.
"here.."
he smiled slighlty as he handed her the rose.
"I have to confess when I first came to Roses castle and you opened the doo. I didnt feel the urge to drink." he grins sliglyt the cut on his lip healing quickly.
She watches him her eyes following his movements. As she looks to the water she watches in awe as the water forms into the shape of a rose. She lets out a little gasps as he bites into his lip. Ember smiles for the first time in a long time. Reaching out she cups the flower carefully like it will melt and the water will wash between her fingers. Putting her nose to the petals she inhales before tucking it behind her ear.
"Oh really why?" She asks him when she hears him talk about not wanting to drink.
With a smile she stands and beckoned. Him to follow her.
"Alright my turn"
She says with a grin on her face.
"Alright what is your favorite animal? It can be anything at all."
he grinned as he moved closer to her. smiling slighlty.
"and I don't know why but usually when imeet somone i'm automaticaly thinkin gof how to brew there blood into a fine wine, but you its different."
he grinns smiling slighlty his cheeks slighlty pink rather than there normal pale white look. he watchs her movement and smiles as he sees her dripping hair he takes a deep breathe in taking in her scent.
She grins at his question and steps forward a little bit. Pressing her lips together she starts to whistle a beautiful tune that would make anyone think it was the angles song.
As she finishes she looks to the edge of the woods and smiles kneeling on the stone.
"Its alright come on out"
She says holding her hand out to what looks to bel nothing.
Suddenly the bushes part and out pads a white wolf walking to her.
Ember smiles and reaches out to stroke her cores fur. Turning to Matthew she smiles.
"She is yours"
She.says sweetly her hand resting on the wolf's head.
"She was alone so i called to her and she will be you loyal companion if you let her"
smiling Matthew kneels down and holds his hand out.
"alone huh?..."
he grinns and scratchs his chin and smiles .
"then yes I'll have her. thank you."
he grinned looking at Ember. he dips his body into the water and unties his poneytail. emerging from the water he crawls back ontot he side. knear ember and the wolf.
"this is a beautiful wolf.. is that your gift speaking to animals?"
he asks as he runs his hand over hers. then
"so tell me alittle of yourself? or do you have anythign you wouldlike to know about me?"
he asks as he waves his hand for the bottle. it slides across the ground and itno his hand taking a swig matthew recorks it and tosses it back withhis things.
Ember watches him running her fingers over the rose in her hair as dips into the water.
The wolf move close to him as sits near them and rests her head on his leg.
"You should probably name her. I named my companion. It makes the union more effective."
She says as she braids and pulls her hair back.
"Yes thats my gift its more of a control thing i can make any animal trust me and do as i wish but i would never make them do something they didnt want to. Tak your wolf here, she needed a pack and so i brought her to you. As for Demose he found me and we have been together ever since."
he smiled placing his hand upon the wolfs head and petting her
"I will name her Mila."
he said soflty as he scratched behind her ear. he smile dna ooked at Ember
"I am from a small city of Lazuroth."
he grinned once again as he twirled his finger into the water. it swirled around fallowing his fingertips.
"Well my past."
he sighed and smiled
"I'm the son of a long line of bootlegers, wether it be people or supplies we sold it. We made alot of money. I was taught the family busness. I'm the last living member of my family and hope to one day bare a son to pass on my family name and secrets."
he sighed as he twirled and created a glass from the water. holding it e blew on it turning it itno crystal. he waved his hand for hte bottle and poured a little intot he glass. setting it down next to Ember..
"so whats your story? and you should take a sip. I think you migh tlike it."
He grinned as he slid the bottle back to its spot. petting Mila he smiled , and placed his hand upon the ground forming little roses out of the waer drops forming around Ember. he wave his hand and used the steam and changed it itno a good scent fille with roses.
"I can manipulate time and space, a bit of sorcery I'd say."
She smiled as she listened to his storry nodding at the right time. His story explained him that was fir sure.
As he makes and pours her a glass she runs her fingers over it before pulling it to her lips and taking a sip. She closes her eyes as the liquid runs down her throat. Looking at him as he makes another amazing creation.
"Thats a beautiful power-
She says her eyes meeting his. She swallowed hard as he asked her about her past.
"There isn't much to tell. I was raised by my brother who disappeared after i turned. Its been me and Demos ever since."
She says looking off into the water as if looking into the past.
"I dont know what i would do without him."
She says with a chuckle before turning back to look at Matthew.
Matthew smiled as he he dove into the water and crossed his arms behind hsi head lookin gup at the sky.
"so whats it from here?"
He sks smiling look at her. kickin ghis feet slighlty turning himself in circles slowly.
Taking his one hand he begins to twirl the water as he sits up crossing his legs still flaoting ontop of the water.
"Would you be offened if I took a sample of your blood?" I promise no one will touch it but me."
he grinned slighlty as he flaoted closer to her and the shore. the wolf laying there watching his ever move Matthew leans in closer to Ember. his eyes glisoning a baby blue.
Matthew smiles and speaks softly with a deep growl in his voice.
"Not alot just alittle taste."
he growls as his fangs begin to emerge the tips of them growing sharp as needles. they are gold.
"I just need a little. what is it?"
He asks her as he notices her gaze away. Matthew slid up onto the side of the spring and grabs Embers foot. holding it gently he begins to slowly massauge her foot. holding it over the steam every so often..
"If you really don't want to since we just met I understand. It was soemthing i should ofw atited to ask you. I'm sorry if I have offened you."
Matthew says as he continues to massauge her foot.
Matthew smiles as he pulls her closer. Caressing her head and neck in his hands he sinks his golden fangs into her soft neck peircing a vien. that was throbbing the moment he saw her. as the taste of her blood filled his sense . Matthew growled and . continued to drinking pushing his fangs deepr into her neck. making the puncture wound even bigger.
after a few mometns of drinking he pulls away still holding her close to him. her body in his lap laying as he watchs the blood trickle down her neck. he growls and sighs sfolty
"I have one question. why did you allow me to drink from you?"
he holds her close whispering int oher ear.
"you did taste so sweet."
he grinned his golden fangs a color of red. waveing his hand a fresh bottle emerges from a pouch he had sitting with his clothes. he sank a fang into the corq and drained soem of the blood from his right fang turning back to its golden color the left fang still blood ruby red..
"That will make a wonderful drink. you are so soft."
She inhales sharply as she feels his fangs puncture her flesh. He head swims as she relaxes in his arms holding him to her. As his lips leave her skin she lets out a little whimper in protest before she watches him drain the blood into a bottle.
"Because i trust you...and when im with you i forget...i forget about ny brother, my parents, my past and my mate who disappeared. I forget it all and feel like myself again....so please"
She says placing her and over his before using her other to push on his head a little.
Matthew grins and growls as he sinks his fangs back into her neck. kissing her flesh as he drinks. letting out growls pushing harder making the puncture wounds deepr and slighlty bigger.
"You taste so deliscious...."
he growls as he jerks his head away from her neck.
"why do you trust me? what if I were to take advantage of you?"
his eyes shimmering a goldish brown as he runs his sharp claws down her side and ont her thigh before sinking them lightly into her flesh.
"but yes I don't think you would have aproblem with that would you?"
he grins as he grows kissing her lips gently his lips soaked in her own blood.
"your lips taste as sweet as your blood."
he spoke softly grinning as he holds her close.
"what is it that I can do to please you?"
he asks as he gently brushs the hair way from her face. the blood from her neck laving a trail onto his body. he smiles as he kisses her neck gnetly not sinking his fangs in. but gently kissing and caressing her flesh with his lips. as he licks the wound clean.
Ember shivers as his fangs sink back into her skin sending a chill through her, his growls vibrating through her until he pulls his lips away.
"Its not taking advantage, if i want you to."
She whispers hissing as she feels his claws on her skin and his lips touch her as she taste her own blood. As he dips his head to lick he r wound her head clears and she gasp pushing him away and jumping back.
"What am I doing?" She whispers to herself as she looks at him her body screaming for her to go back but her mind tells her otherwise.
"Im sorry its not you...i just always end up hurt when i open myself up...i mean my last mate just....vanished....i cant take anymore heartache"
She tells him her eyes watching him as her chest rises and falls with each shaky breath.
Matthew jumps quick sliding back unsure of what just happened. on all fours his body sweys he growls and then slowly stands his fangs exsposed as his claws retract.
"No need to get upset."
he grins slighlty whiping his mouth. he turns facing his cloths
"I aplogise if I have put you in a difficult situation."
Matthew looks over his shoulder at her and smiles
and then turns to her. knealing down he grins as he places his hand upon the dirt. and draws a symbol upon the ground a few seconds later. a strip of red blood roses begin to cover the ground surounding her blooding.
"I do not wish to leave you or vanish. why anyone would abandon such a sweet tasting and beautiful hearted youn glady confuses me."
Matthew titls his head slighlty . as he moves towards her slowly. not steping on the roses he walks slighlty staggering.
"and since I have met you I have not felt the need to drink to intoxicate myself."
he laughs ashe walks circles around her running his claws across her arms and shoulder gently speaking softly.
"Just fallow what your heart tells you child. there is one thing i must tell your before you make any decsions."
he grins as he stops infront of her.
"I myself if I claim another as mine i leave them with a peace of me so they can track myself."
he smiles as he grabs her hand and kisses it softly gently running his finger tips across her wrist.
Ember watches him her heart picking up pace. She watches him grow more roses as smiles slightly before she backs up a little and stops.
She swallows and shivers as she feels his claws trail over her skin. Watching him she listens to his voice.
"Why? Why would i make it so you dont want to drink?"
She asks him in a whisper. As he stops before her and takes her hand. She lets her eyes meet his as he speaks of making someone his.
"Are you saying....you want to make me yours...as in...be your mate?"
She asks him her heart fluttering with joy as she looks into his beautiful eyes.
"I do not want to drink, as in I don't want to get intoxicated. I still want to feed, just not get drunk."
he smiles as he reachs downa nd plucks a rose slididng it behind her ear he smiles.
"Making you my mate...I know its only a little while sicne we first met, but if that would make you happy then I would be as well."
he grinned slighlty as he leans in an dkisses he rlips soflty.
"at anytime all you hav eto do is say yes."
he smiles and steps back slighlty lettign go of her and he kneals and bows.
"Your wish i smy command."
he says looking up at her. his hair falling over his shouder and flwoing dwon his chest still drenched and dripping with water. he looks up at her awaiting her response.
" I know its not ben that long , but I feel as if i need your."
he grinns his fangs hidden but shimmeres of gold can be seen in the right light. he stands and walks closer to her never loosing eye contact. he voice soft and careing.
"what is it you wish Ember? "
he smiles once more as he speaks softly once more his coice deep and has a slight growl to it
"Will you be the Ember that sparks life back into this cold dead heart?"
Ember smiles at his words her eyes never leaving his as he speaks. His voice smooth and calming as her mind races.
"Yes"
She whispers closing the gap between them and rapping her arms around him pulling the ponytail from his hair and looking up at him as she runs her fingers through his wet hair.
"Even though we havent know each other....i feel as if we are meant to be."
She whispers placing her palm on his chest over his heart.
"If you dont feel the same...just say so and youll never have to see me again."
She whispers not wanting to force him into anything.
Matthew said as he held her tight. lifitn her into this arms and sittign down on a stone he holds he rinto his arms.
"is there anythign specail we should do"
Matthew asks as he runs his hand across her leg and bottom. pinching slighlty her cheek as he holds her close. a smile slide across his face. whiping his head back his hair flies back behind his head.
