A Taste You Can't Escape

~18~

The four of you enter, James baffled by how easy it was to just walk up to the ominous structure. Elijah sensing his surprise and he just chuckles. the servant that was off to the side of the corridor watching the whole thing unfold just stands there his mouth agape at what he just witnessed. His ever cold master, that would drive someone away, just opened his door to 3 random strangers and a dog. You meet the servants surprised expression and just giggle.

Y/N: You good?

He just blushed and shied away into shadows in the wall.

Y/N: Hm?

Cassius: What are you doing here?

You turn to face him with a glare.

Y/N: That's quite the way to treat a woman, Duke. Anyways, I'm here for you.

You flash a breathtaking smile he can't seem to look away from.

Cassius: Why?

Y/N: Just testing some theories and prophecies.

You say innocently before turning around and wandering down the corridor.

Cassius: Where do you think you're going?

He asks in a slightly warmer tone.

Y/N: Oh, c'mon don't be like that, let me explore what may or may not be my new home.

You spin elegantly taking in the extravagant carvings in the wall and ceiling. The Duke just watches and the feeling he felt just before you entered return and his vision begins vibrating again almost as if to try and mimic a heartbeat, he just shakes his head and closes his eyes to rid himself of the feeling.

Y/N: No for real, I have a few questions for you, sir.

Cassius: What kind of questions?

Y/N: Oh ya know questions like, How you've been able to survive this long as the last in your hierarchy? Why you decided to isolate yourself was the best choice? What exactly you were waiting for? that last question is fueled by rumors, that you were looking for a specific kind of vampire to fulfill what you were waiting for. I don't know why people keep thinking I fit what the rumors say.

Cassius: Whoa what? That prophecy is still floating around?

Upon realizing this news he goes silent briefly before continuing.

Cassius: Is that why you're here?

Y/N: Uh yeah? I'm pretty sure I mentioned that when we first started talking.

Cassius: No, you said you were here to see me.

Y/N: Isn't that the same thing? 

Cassius: Well...

Y/N: Mhm... now answer my questions.

Cassius: No, you're gonna answer my questions first.

The way his tone went a whole octave deeper made you abide and shut your mouth right away.

James: We'll just wait outside.

Elijah and James shrink away heading back to the front of the corridor. 

Cassius: Who told you where I was? Who told you about the prophecy? And which tier are you?

You'd be lying if the dominance in his voice didn't turn you on a little, this feeling made you bite your lip. You're not used to submitting to anyone. Usually, you were the more dominant one. Little did you know that little lip-bite made Cassius get a little light-headed.

Y/N: Well...

You begin saying in a meek tone before you clear your throat and your normal voice returns.
