Kaleesi settled her hand on my bare chest, dragging it up and down in slow strokes. A seductive purr left her blood red lips. "What plagues your mind, my king?"
Her slender leg hooked over my hip as she smiled slowly.
A low sigh left my lips. "This vessel is fighting."
She smirked, "Probably because he is disgusted with me."
I turned my head to see her vibrant multi-colored eyes. "How could he be unpleased with an exquisite creature such as yourself?"
"He is very difficult to understand. Much like our prey." Kaleesi lifted herself up from the fresh wolfskin that we laid beneath, taking a deep breath. "Don't you just love the smell?"
I raised myself up to join her, scanning the area littered with wolf carcasses around us. "Quite."
Her grin brightened. "Why not continue to use his body?"
"I require a stronger vessel; my true vessel."
Kaleesi's taut face twisted into a displeasing scowl. "So? Use him until you do find your true vessel. All he does is talk about avenging his Kathleen through Katya. It's annoying."
"Either way, I cannot. He refuses to let me possess his body any longer."
"But my king-"
A hardened glare was sent her way and my Siren set her jaw, webbed scales creeping from the apples of her cheeks before she huffed and stood up straight.
"Do not anger me, my Queen." I reprimanded her as my essence faded from the vessel I was using.
She crossed her arms over her naked chest. "Then do not make me angry."
I joined her stance, cupping her chin. "You know who you are truly mad at."
The moment she avoided my eyes, I knew that I was correct on my assumptions. "You are jealous."
"No." she replied defiantly.
"Yes." Kaleesi was my creation, she couldn't lie to me, her maker.
"Fine. It annoys me. The way they are. Katya shouldn't be at Stark's side- I should. I deserve him."
A smile stretches across my mouth. "I would simply love to know what you would do to Katya after Orion has had his revenge."
Her eyes brightened gloriously. "Oh, the things i would do! Obviously we'd have to wait a nine months for the baby to grow so Orion can exact his revenge, but I'll kill him off after he tears out the fetus. And then I can have my fun with Katya. I learned a lot of new techniques over the past few centuries that I would enjoy testing out on her."
Although it was pleasing to hear of her malicious plans, I felt the need to warn her: "There is something special about our prey. She isn't just some werewolf."
"I know." Kaleesi answered, miffed that Iinterupted her.
"Do not let arrogance fog your meter of caution."
"I'm not as nearly arrogant as your are, my king."
"But you are as stubborn." I reminded, feeling the tug of my vessel's rather strong will to be free.
Before I could assure her of all the things to come, my essence was shoved out of the vessel.
Orion growled, his eyes finding my shimmering transparent form. "Don't fucking do that again, you hear me?"
Kaleesi flicked her hair over her shoulder. "Just clean this up, will you?"
Orion snarled, "Clean your own mess, whore."
She laughed tightly. "Whore? The last man who called me that just barely survived my wrath. Don't push your luck, vampire. I am only helping you because of Erebus and Stark."
Grumbling under his breath, the Ancient began to clear the area of dead wolves that Kaleesi and I had slaughtered as part of our midnight activities in the dark of winter.
I dropped into a nearby vessel. The Ancient vampire's will was not nearly as strong as Orion's, therefore I was in full control. After a few moments, the vampire ceased to struggle and the simple motions such as walking were easier to accomplish. Stepping back into civilization from the woods, I turned my vessel to head back down the street to the abandoned warehouse across the highway.
The door was rusty and creaked loudly, surely announcing my prescence to the visitor.
"Erebus the Vampire King, huh?" The masked man dropped down from the ceiling beams, "Who am I supposed to hunt down, my king?"
