Stretching ( 13)

"AAAAHHHH......MOMMIE! THE BOOGIE MAN took me from you!" Gabriel screamed.

"Sssshhh....you had a nightmare baby girl." Vali whispered calmly.

"No...no let go of me! You're the boogie man!"

"Mmm, I would like to think Der Gorman (German influence for Slenderman) and I could double date..."

"Oh fuck! That's beyond terrifying..." she said.

"Though I look more human, as you point out, I was born human," Vali ran his hand down pointing out this fact.

"Why do you still stay in this form?"

"Mmm, mental muscle memory is all. Would you find me more desirable a scary monster?" Vali smirked.

"No, probably not...just reflect your true inner self not this once living facade," she said quietly. "What about breathing?"

"Muscle memory of sorts... smell and speech are rendered unusable."

"Save my ears on your evil monologues..."

"Do you make jokes like that because it makes you feel brave little cottontail?" Vali asked as he drug a fang across her jugular.

"Probably..but also a reality check. Things could be worse or better. My attempt to remain sane considering my situation."

"Yes, I can sense that about you. I shall give a little reward to you for all your pain. I find it hard to influence or read your mind subtly. It doesn't mean I can't get in but you will know it's being done," the vampire commented.

"So I get to be aware you're mind raping me?"

"Rape? Hmm, do you harbor a secret 'rape' fantasy? You know, I am well versed in BDSM and all it entails," Vali licked her neck and nipped as to make a point.

"Perhaps the old-fashioned term is ravished... Voivode."

"Forced seduction... perhaps you should come up with a safe word?" his eyes shone darkly.

"That sounds rather moot point with you All Father..."

"And what harm? It may just save you in the future..."

"Fine...redrum."

"Murder backwards? Interesting does contain red. Though aardvark* can be said with a gag..."

"Not if you're gagging me with your tongue, cock or hands,"Gabriel interrupted him.

"I swear on that damn forsaken Christian God, I'm not wanting to kill you every second of the day or night. I can't seduce a corpse..."

"Well some say he's an absentee landlord...or a kid with an ant farm..."

"A theological discussion of sorts? Much better choice though your body is distracting me. Get dressed and I will take you for a 'stretch of the legs' with some food."

"So that ramrod in my back was yours truly?" she snickered.

"Babygirl you play dangerously with such jokes," Vali said then became shadow to dissipate quickly.

"Fuck he's creepy..."

Gabriel fingered through the clothes. Almost all were dresses. She sighed, maybe she should actually get on his good side. Did he have a good side even?

Well less cruel? That would be something worth finding.

Vali knocked on her room door and waited. He was wearing the same clothes as the night she met him. Gabriel opened the door and waited. The Vampire King held his breath that he didn't even need, and looked her over head to foot.
