Demon's Curse [discontinued]

Date with dark

Arianna paced around the kitchen, her eyes trained on the currently empty cabinets. "There's no food." She muttered, her lips upturned into a frown. "There is, it's just not your job to make it." She scowled at Nicholas, her arms crossed. "I am very capable to cook for myself, thank you very much!" Nicholas chuckled and shook his head. "I don't doubt that, little rogue. It's just, not your job." He pushed himself away from the cabinet and moved towards Leila. "How are you feeling?" Leila smiled and glanced upwards. "Sore but, I feel great." Her eyes moved to me. "Thank you so much. Arianna. I-.." she trailed and looked down once again. "Go, sit at the table. I will have some food prepared." Arianna gaped at Nicholas angrily before storming. She was upset because he had acknowledged Leila's hunger but, not her own. When it came to food, Arianna was very aggressive about it. "Arianna." Nicholas' growl caused her stop mid-step, her body tense. "Turn around, now." It was almost as if she couldn't move her body on her own, like she was simply a puppet whose strings were being pulled. "I did not say you could leave." His voice was low, dangerous even. "And, you were stomping. We wouldn't want those pretty little feet of yours damaged, now do we?" She whimpered as her feet began to move, dragging her towards him.

"You will have to excuse us a moment." Nicholas muttered to Leila, dragging Arianna into a room far down the hall. It felt as if her heart was about to jump from her chest from how hard it was pounding. To be honest, she was terrified and all she could think about was Sebastian's words. "P-please?" She begged, struggling to pull away. Nicholas shut the door, leaving them in complete darkness. "Your little human heart is pounding so quickly." He purred. Arianna could faintly see his outline as he stalked towards her. "Are you scared?" Arianna sneered, knowing he could see her. Of course she was scared but would she admit it? No! She was scared but, she wasn't weak. "No, I'm not scared." She replied, inhaling sharply when she feels his hands on her hips. "Really?" He inhales loudly and chuckles. "Hmm... I'll let you lie to yourself." His body presses flush against her and his other hand threads through her ponytail. "I really, really hate when you disrespect me." He murmured into her ear. "I give you a lot of freedom. I treat you nicely and I allow you to essentially do whatever you wish." He lips brush against her neck and she shivers, despite her trying to hold it back. "All I ask for in return is some respect." His free hand gripped her hip as his other hand tugged, exposing her neck. "Besides," He began. "I think I need to feed." She could see the glint from his teeth and her whole body tensed.

However, instead of feeling the sharp pain of his teeth, she felt his lips press against her neck. "So warm." He mumbled and licked, eliciting another shiver from Arianna. "You know what?" He picked her up slamming her against another wall, shoving the air from her chest. His lips attacked hers bruisingly, his hands gripping her legs tightly. Arianna, was in complete shock, unable to really register what was happening until his tongue grazed her lips. Her eyes widened but, her lips parted slightly, giving him just enough time to take advantage of the opportunity. He growled lowly and nipped at her lower lip with his canines. She inhaled sharply once again but this time, she began to reciprocate the kiss. Her eyes naturally shut and she gripped his shirt, pulling him closer with her legs. This, was her first kiss and it was, well, steamy. Nicholas pressed against her a moment but, in the next, he stopped, leaving Arianna breathless. "I'm sorry." He whispered, licking her blood from his lips. Arianna licked her own lips, tasting the sweet taste of iron. "Why?" She asked, still gripping onto his shirt to keep herself from falling. It was dizzying kiss and she hated to admit it, she enjoyed it so much. "For kissing you." He paused. "Well, not exactly for kissing you but-" He snarled at himself, still not releasing Arianna from his arms. "Maybe you should feed." She whispered, licking her lips once again. "I mean.." She looked down. "No, I agree." He replied and leaned forward, nipping at her neck before biting down. It still hurt, she wasn't going to hide that either.

Small, pain-filled noises passed her lips, her grip on him increasing. It was incredibly painful...for a split second. Another feeling, a foreign feeling, passed from her neck and went throughout her body. It felt...good. She let out a small sigh and pursed her lips, flexing her fingers. Then, it was over. Her heart pattered in her chest, struggling to replace the large amount of blood she just lost. Her mind raced until it was nothing but that feeling playing through. "Come on." He murmured and carried her bridal style. "You need to eat." She mentally scoffed but, weakly nodded. He sighed and shook his head, opening the door and leading her down the hall. After the complete darkness, the hall was far too bright for her and so, she squinted. "Thank you so-" Leila shut her mouth watching the pair as Nicholas sat Arianna down at the table. "Is she ok-" Leila paused once again, seeing the bite on Arianna's neck. "I see." Nicholas nodded and left the room. Arianna scowled at him before looking down "Are you aright?" Leila asked, placing a gentle hand on her shoulder. "Yeah." Arianna pulled her plate closer and slowly began to eat. "I thought he was going to hurt you." Leila whispered softly and pulled Arianna close. She scoffed and shook her head. "He won't hurt me, not intentionally at least." She paused and shuddered. "But, his brother will."

Leila tensed up, her grip on Arianna like a vice. "He's been gone the past few days. You're fine" Arianna whispered, pecking her forehead. "Now, let me eat." She teased playfully. Leila nodded and sat there, her eyes fixated on the hall leading to the front door. "Relax, Leila." Arianna mumbled as she bit into her food, relishing in the taste. It really was delicious. Who ever made it was absolutely amazing. Her eyes narrowed. She had only seen one other 'slave' since she had been there. Where were the others? "Leila, your master is on his way here." Leila inhaled sharply, her lips quivering as if she were about to cry. "Please don't make me go." She whispered pleading to no one in particular. "I don't want to go back." Arianna pursed her lips, fighting back her want to just take Leila and hide her from that bastard. "I am sorry," Nicholas whispered, placing his index finger and thumb beneath her chin. "There is nothing I can do. At least not yet." Leila let out a heart-wrenching sob.

Her body shook with the tears and she gripped into Nicholas for dear life. "Hey, you'll be here tomorrow." Arianna assured and Leila looked up with tear streaked eyes. Her eyes said everything she was afraid to say aloud. To Arianna, they said "What if I'm not here tomorrow?" Her heart clenched at the thought and she looked away. That, unfortunately, was a very valid question. What if she wasn't waking up tomorrow? What if she just ceased to be because of that monster? Arianna held Leila close, holding back her own tears. "You will be here tomorrow, I promise you." She then leaned closer to whisper ever so softly into Leila's ear. "You'll be able to fight back soon. Until then, stay strong." Leila nodded and at that very moment, almost like he was listening, Elric knocked on the door. Nicholas tensed, his face now stoic, professional. "Come on." He grabbed Leila and led her to the door. It was painful to watch the interaction between the trio. Arianna held back so much, just to ensure that Leila's life wouldn't get worse. Elric glanced at Arianna, his eyes narrowing and his eyes darkening. "

Yes, I suppose I could bring her tomorrow, if she listens." The acid in his voice was enough to spark a flare of anger in Arianna. She knew he talking about her. "Of course, I will see you tomorrow, Elric." Elric nodded, dragging a terrified Leila away. Nicholas shut the door and sighed, his eyes shut in frustration. "You can't be doing that, Arianna." He muttered. "Doing what exactly?" Nicholas stared at her. "You were challenging him." Arianna scoffed and crossed her arms, staring down at her feet. "Right." Nicholas growled lowly. "Go finish eating, Alaria is on her way." Arianna sneered up at Nicholas. "Are you kidding me? That bi-" Nicholas put a finger to her lips. "Uh uh, keep those pretty little lips pure." Arianna snapped her teeth at his fingers but, he moved them away too quickly. "How cute... go get ready in my office." She frowned. Nicholas smirked before simply disappearing before her eyes.
