Grimdor

Slade's Past

"Are you sure? You don't need to force yourself to tell me about your past" Delilah whispered as she gave my hand a light squeeze.

"I'm sure..." I uttered as I took a deep breath.

I began, "As you know, the Demon King ruined The Underworld."

The Demon King's loyal servants, the royals, are extremely powerful and will mercilessly slaughter those who pose a threat to the King. It is said that they are capable of killing with a single blow.

But the bastard on the throne... He's the real problem. Although he is stronger than me, I must kill him. Even if I lose my life trying. Whatever it takes.

"What did he do to you?" Delilah asked, her eyes saddened and her face struck with worry.

My chest instantly tightened as my lips stiffened. Unable to move them, I could not answer. I could hardly breathe.

"Slade." Delilah whispered as she embraced me, knocking air into my lungs. Loosening my chest... freeing my lips from the trance they seemed to be in.

I pulled her close.

"He... He took my mother," I croaked. Delilah gently rubbed my back, giving me the strength I needed to continue the story.

My family— We were noble vampires, and so naturally we possessed great power, strength, and energy. The Demon King often recruited creatures with great ability to join The Royals and serve directly under him. One day, the bastard came to our manor. Although my brother was older, my power was incredible for my age. The Demon King, Lucifer, knew this and came to take me away for his own bidding. My mother fought tooth and nail for me. She knew the horrors that those guards underwent for the sake of the King, and she could not bare the thought of me being among them. Lucifer, clearly attracted to my mother, made her a deal.

"I'll leave the boy alone if I can have you instead" said Lucifer as he gripped my mother's waist.

Reluctantly, my mother agreed, "I accept. I will go with you so long as my family remains in this manor, where they are safe" She pleaded, while slightly pulling away from his grip.

"Very well then." He chuckled and vanished into thin air with my mother in his arms.

I never saw her again.

My brother, Leondro, and my father blamed me for her fate. I was beaten until I was bloody. My father treated Leondro as his favorite whereas I was punished every day.

But I refused to be weak. I trained myself day and night. I exhausted my powers until I could barely move. Over and over and over again.

And I made the oath to avenge my mother no matter what.

Once I was strong enough, I left that hell hole and never turned back. My father was infuriated and went berserk when he found out I left. Apparently he went to search for me and never returned. But I think he was killed.

I got stronger by the day. I sucked the blood from everyone I came across, draining them dry and leaving them for dead. I replenished my energy and continued to train and grow powerful enough to fulfill my oath.

"That was my life... until I met you, Delilah" I explained as I moved some strands of her soft hair behind her ears.

"That's why I have to do this. Lucifer took away the only person who gave a shit about me... I don't care if I die. I just can't let my mother suffer anymore." I exclaimed while gazing into Delilah's ocean blue eyes that were on the verge of tears.

"I'm so sorry" was all Delilah managed to say as a tear slid down her soft cheek.

"I dragged you into this mess. I'm the one that's sorry." I proclaimed, gently wiping away her tear.

She held her hand in mine and said "Slade, we're going to be okay. We'll save your mother and everything will be just fine. I promise you."

"Come here." I whispered as we held each other tightly. She was my world. I never want to let go. I felt her heart beating against my chest and her sweet cherry smell filled my nostrils.

"I love you, Delilah." I admitted, and as those words left my lips, everything seemed to go in slow motion from there on out.

Delilah gasped as if she never expected to hear those words, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't agree. Who would have thought, me, the ruthless, selfish vampire would grow to love?

"I love you too." Delilah said cheerfully as a smile creeped across her plump lips. Those same lips that I craved with every fiber of my body. I couldn't contain myself any longer.

I crashed my lips onto her soft lips. Delilah jerked her head back as I slid my tongue into her mouth.

She clasped my face with her delicate hands as she pressed down on my lips harder. Our bodies snugly together as if we were two pieces of a puzzle... Our tongues dancing in perfect harmony, our breaths panting in pleasure. The intensity of the kiss was like no other. I slowly slid my hand down to her waist while gently nibbling on her lip.

"We should stop here. If not, there's no telling what I might do to you." I pleaded as I looked down at Delilah. Her hair out of place, her lips parted and her deep eyes staring right back into mine.

"You can do whatever you want to me, Slade." Delilah whispered before she flung her arms around my shoulder and crashed into me once more.

"That's all I needed to hear." I slid my hand into her pants, and gently tugged at her undergarment. Completely teasing her as she moved her hips, signaling for more...
