Meet Me In The Grave

Author's Note:

Hi, it's been a little while since I've posted anything. I have taken a break from writing the Daring Kiss sequel because I'll be honest... I've been falling in love over the past six weeks and sometimes that takes over my mind in the best way. Everything I want to write is now covered in those weird rose colored glasses. So while I try to pull myself together to write the sequel you all deserve (It's going to be very juicy, I promise you,) I give you this. A sappy vampire version of what it feels like to be saved from an environment you should have never been in the first place.

There's nothing like meeting someone who makes you realize you have been doing life all wrong for the past four years.I will add and will always add to my vampire stories is that this takes place in the Halfway to the Grave/Night Huntress universe by Jeaniene Frost. If you haven't read her works that is absolutely fine and you'll still be able to follow my story with our lovely descendants characters, but know most of the vampire lore is not my own and follows the rules and even some characters written by Jeaniene. If you like this universe and the rules of vampire society I recommend her books 100 percent, her stories have been the best thing to come out of quarantine for me. Now, let's get to the good stuff. I hope you enjoy it.

There was a girl crying... There was a girl crying and walking down a dark alley clearly distracted and not watching where she was going. This girl was seriously sobbing and Maleficent couldn't stop watching her from up on the roof of the building she stood on.

It was a black girl with a shaved head dyed an odd shade of orange wearing a bright blue leather jacket with fringe coming down the side that reminded Maleficent of the ocean. She hated the ocean. The girl wasn't walking very well. She was shuffling back and forth and almost running into trash cans and it was almost so hard to watch when she wasn't watching where she was going well enough to stop the entire left side of her body from running into the wall that was right next to her.

Maleficent couldn't hear any of her thoughts and she wondered if it was because of how high up she was or if she was one of those special cases with the natural immunities to vampire compulsion and powers.

When the girl made it out of the alley Maleficent flew over to the next building to keep a watch and now, the girl was speaking out loud. "Why am I the one that's always wrong? Why am I the one who always has to apologize? I have apologized for the past twenty three years of my life! I'm sorry for breathing, I'm sorry for - taking up space. I'm sorry for-" She stops suddenly and lets out the most ear pitching scream from a human that Maleficent has ever heard. Maleficent's eyebrows rose into her long dusty blonde hair in amusement. Those were very good questions to ask and the scream? Might keep other vampires away, thinking someone without a heartbeat had already gotten to this racing heart.

Maleficent continued to watch as the girl began kicking the wall of the next abandoned building she came across, which wasn't hard. There are so many abandoned buildings in Auradon and it's neighbor island - Auradon's king hadn't been one for the people in many decades. So the girl just destroyed anything close enough and small enough that her little human hands could get a hold on. She stomped out a glass window in her thick black boots, threw bricks against trash cans, and raged in a feral way Maleficent didn't usually see from humans.

Eventually as all humans do she began to tire, her shoulder began to droop while her chest still heaved, and then she began to clutch her lower abdomen... a groan escaped her that Maleficent did not expect. It was the most pained sound she heard the girl she had been watching for over two hours since her loud and obnoxious sobbing. Even from how high up Maleficent was she could see the way her face scrunched up in pain and how she wrapped her arms around her stomach as if trying to hold herself together from falling apart. Which was strange because Maleficent had just watched her entire 'falling down' moment. It took a moment to realize the girl was actually in pain, physical pain.
