Larva slowly opened his deep crimson eyes. He was met only by a deep, impenetrable darkness.
‘That was the worst nightmare I’ve had in a long time,” he thought to himself. He closed his eyes again and reached out for Miyu, wanting to reassure himself that she was there, sleeping peacefully at his side. But only cold air and soft sheets met his hand. He sat up slowly and called out into the darkness,
“ Miyu? Miyu where are you?”
“ Oh…poor Larva. Are you missing your little vampire already?” said an all too familiar female voice. Larva immediately became alert and stared into the deep darkness.
“ Who’s there?” he asked.
“ Oh come now Larva. Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten all about me.” The voice said laughing.
“ You sound like…. No! You couldn’t be.” Larva half whispered to himself.
“ Aaahh…so you do remember me!” the woman exclaimed. The darkness around Larva started to slowly fade as candles started lighting themselves all around him. He could now see that he was lying on a huge four poster bed in a rather large room. The walls and floor were made of cold gray stone and there was a window with a seat that faced the west. The bed in which he was lying had dark blood red sheets and a dark, ebony comforter. Larva also noticed that his cloak had been removed along with his shirt (I don’t know if he wears clothes under his cloak in the series, but in my fic he does). Now all that he was clad in was his black pants. Larva pushed the sheets and dark comforter away from him and stood up on the cold floor.
“ Well my dear, its been quite a while since I’ve seen you like that,” as the woman spoke, a dark slender silhouette appeared on the wall that Larva was facing. He turned sharply around met the eyes of his captors. Her long blonde hair fell over her shoulder. Her jade eyes were sparkling with life and her black dress clung to her slender body showing off her every curve.
“ Take a good look Tabetha because this is the last time you’ll ever see me like this,” Larva said to her coldly.
“ Really, and why is that Larva?” Tabetha asked. She was starting to get a little pissed off at him.
“ Because I’m not yours any longer.”
“ No you belong to the guardian now, though I can’t see why.” Tabetha looked over at Larva. His eyes were narrowed on her and she could see that she was about to walk onto dangerous grounds with him, but she didn’t give a damn right now.
“ Why any man, be he shinma or human, would fall for her I will never understand. She’s not that much to look at, that’s for sure. She has no figure and lets just say that she’s a little flat (Yeah right!). Besides how do you know that she’s not using you Larva? You defeated her once…and she knows that you can do it again. I bet she’s just using you and when the last shinma is sent away, she won’t hesitate in sending you back. If I were you, I’d take her into my arms and then run her through!” Tabetha immediately regretted those words. Larva was on her in an instant. He had her hands pinned up above her head and he had thrown her against the closest wall, as hard as he possibly could.
“ Damn you Tabetha! I hate you! I don’t know why I even considered you a friend when we were younger! You are nothing but a selfish, stubborn, thickheaded bitch! And you are not me Tabetha! My heart belongs to Miyu, now and forever and I would never EVER betray her!”
“ Get your hands off me servant of that vampire slut!” Tabetha yelled. Larva lost control with that statement. He let her arms drop, but only to bring the backside of his hand hard across her cheek. Tabetha dropped to the floor from the impact of his hand to her cheek.
“ You and especially Miyu are going to pay for that Larva,” Tabetha hissed. Her eyes were glazed over with pain and anger.
“ You leave her out of this you bitch,” Larva said warningly. Tabetha smiled and then said tauntingly,
“ Save her if you can!” Larva jumped to get her again, but she dissapered leaving only her echoing laughter.
“ No…Miyu…. What have I done?” Larva asked the empty room as he fell to his knees.
Author’s Note: Umm….not much to say except that this was another one of my stories I was working on during the 8th Grade trip to Houston ( Yeah, we were almost ALWAYS on Daisy the Bus. Oh and a thousand thanks to Tokyo’s Angel who had to sit by me and put up with me the entire way!
