Beauty & the Beast

Julius

THIS IS NOT TECHNICALLY AN UPDATE JUST A SWEET TREAT

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Soft black curls bouncing with her walk; those piercing green eyes that seemed to tell you just enough but leave room for mystery. She was one of the most beautiful things I had seen walk through these mansion doors in centuries. Her body was curvy and her skin a tan color. She was not like the other maids. She was Beautiful if that was even a word to describe a woman such as her. Yong could be no more than seventeen by the looks of that beautifully young tanned skin.

James was there asking her questions and having her fill out a bit of paper work. She was going to start work here. She was going to live in this mansion, in one of these rooms! I was young when I first met her. I was only a few centuries old and still running around acting utterly stupid with my friends. I was still technically a young Lord even though I have played myself of as a nephew or a child of myself. I aged slowly and would stop once I had matured as a Vampire.

I could remember those days when she first arrived and I still had my humanity. I wanted Elizabeth.... I wanted to court her even though I knew it was a bad Idea. I had to keep my secret. There were times when we would lock eyes in the hall or even accidentally brush one another. I would walk past her room just to listen to her heart beat. I was attracted to her no doubt but it was not until I found her twirling around on the ball room floor and decorating for the annual fundraiser I threw every year that I actually fell in love with her. It was at the precise moment she laughed, giggling with another maid as they spun each other.

Her laugh caressed me and made me smile. The sound was something so soothing that it should be illegal to hear. Why was she so different why did she have such an effect on me? It was from then on out that I made sure I saw that beautiful smile every day.

Three years with her I never made a move to do more than admire her from afar. I knew my own murderous hands and I had pictured her black curls matted with blood and her body lying in the snow while I drank from her. I knew that it was the monster I was but she did not know that about me. I enjoyed going out with my friends on a killing spree.

One night that changed one night... we had been caught and a lot of us lost our lives others left and never came back and as for me.... Over the course of a year many people had tried to kill him, take his home, his title and had even asked him to change them into what he is. Every one either wanted him dead or to use him for their own personal gain. He fled and left me with a mess to clean. That is when they got someone in on my staff and if it was not for me being quick I would have lost my life. It was that night that I killed the girl and it was that night that a young James and I made vow to be very careful. We moved the maids to one room in the lower levels of the mansion and I chose one maid and one maid only to serve me. Things slowly began to destroy me from the inside out. All the men and women I had killed the things I had done... all the people who wanted to use me kill me or try and take my title. I slowly lost my humanity.

She still sired a pang of want in me, I wanted her still but not as I had once. I could still kill her and treat her with the same demeanor as any other maid. I will admit that I kept her t a distance for a reason I knew I would give into. I made sure there was no reason for Elizabeth to be near me at any time. She was the best maid in mansion. She had been here for four years and now she was going to be enduring another year of my cold murderous hands.

In the years that I had isolated myself I managed to drive everyone away and ensure I had the title of a murderous monster. It was that that kept me alive and it was that titled that caused me to be the enigma that I am today.

She had been on my staff for seven years now and the one time I leave James in charge to replace the maid I had just murdered for trying to murder me. He decides to appoint her... Elizabeth. When I walked in that morning from handling some business she was there and my heart slammed against my chest. Why her? Why was she in my room?

Her hair fell in the same soft curls but this time they fell down her back reaching her lower back. She still smelled as delicious as ever and her blood.... I knew would be the best blood I could ever taste. It was then and there I knew I would be in trouble if I did not check myself. In the best manner possible I made my way to her and in the harshest manner I could muster I instructed her on what I wanted and that was to get out.

She made her way into a soft spot of mine we had shared intimate moments but I never drank from her. It was when I realized she would be perfect to win over the humans that I told myself I would have to stop playing nice and set her straight. She would be hurt but I didn't care this was my life!

I was surprised at her when she defied me at every turn and acted if it was an act that she didn't care I was using her. She was a force to be tried and I wanted to push her buttons as much as she pushed mine. This was of course unhealthy for me because a part of me wanted her all of her.

That part of me was surfacing and I could not stop it... unless I got rid of her. I was sure that the more she fought me and made snarky comments that I would just want her more. It was now in this moment that I had to make a decision. This murder I am or what little humanity I had left for this woman.

As I stood here in the middle of a forest I would make a decision that could change everything for me. As my blue eyes looked into her soft green ones I could see myself reflected in them. It had always been her who had my attention and yet here and now I stand with her tiny body in my hands as I crushed her with only a little of the strength I truly had. She was so small and fragile under my grip that it almost made me snap her like a twig then and there but as that thought crossed my mind so did the thought of bedding this woman and making her my smart mouth angel for eternity!

DAMN THIS WOMAN

This woman who knows I am a murderer but still stayed.... This woman who called me ......... A BEAUTIFUL BEAST.
