The Crazy Woman of Your Wildest Dreams

Without a second thought as to why she was walking in some strange hall and playing her mothers violin, didn't pass through Lilianna's mind. All she concentrated on was the music she began to make with the instrument. Her mother gave her many lessons and she was glad to remember all the correct notes and holding positions. The eerie tune made goosebumps rose up on her skin but she ignored it and kep playing, 'The Siren's Call' on the violin. Usually she would have brought her favorite stuffed animal with her but she wanted to be alone, with the rotting corpses and such that reminded her of her former home with Vensint. Her father loved her very much and wouldn't let her go, so she had to wound him to leave him and she did. Lilianna never liked being caged away like a little bird to only be spoiled and dolled all the time with. Sighing softly, Lilianna came to the famous green flame and slowly let her hands and instrument fall to her side. Watching as the faces scream silently at her, she wondered a loud. "What twas it that trapped your tormented souls here? Being horrible vicious men like most of your faces seem," she asked bitterly. A laugh erupted from her soft lips and echoed evilly around her. A sound interrupted her and her personality changed in an instant. Her eighteen year old body stayed the same and since the guest must have already seen her hair she kept it curly and black but changed her eye color to red. "Who's there," Lily asked innocently. |

Ah, this hall. How it brought back memories, so many memories. This place, how often she had frequented it in her centuries of life. It was a calming place, the silent screams making the vampiress feel, well, right at home. She cackled in the night, her laughter echoing off the walls. How good it felt to be here alone this night, without her husband interrupting, without countless other 'visitors' disturbing her peace. How annoying at all was, really. Always someone to confront her, always someone to bring back those days of hers in the castle, to stupidly charge her of ruining the royal family, ruining Avalon. Always telling her it was all her fault. Well, yes, actually. It was all her fault, and something she was quite proud of, really. She'd done it all on purpose, all for a reason, all for self-gain. No matter how it fell apart in the end. No matter, it was all worth it then. Just the thoughts brought a malicious smirk to her lips. On she stalked, a pale hand lingering on the wall of the cave, trailing down, down to the flame she knew so well, the feathered train of her black gown flowing behind her, the click click clicking of her heels echoing on the ground beneath her. Her crimson gaze roved the cave, curious, seeking. As usual, her eyes were lined in black, sinking in it, her cherry lips adorned with silver, her hair pinned and adorned with the wing-bone of a raven, some black feathers still intact. Around her neck a collar of long feathers rested, framing her chin. Part of her chest and all of her shoulders were bare to the chilled night air, though she didn't feel it. Her nails were black, her fingers and wrists adorned with silver, red, and black rings. As usual, she was quite a sight, majorly overdressed for this place. But little did she care. She never cared, and only enjoyed being comfortable, even if that meant showing off the status she no longer had, for she looked quite like a queen this night. How unfortunate, no one would see. Or would they? As still she crept she heard the tune. One she recognized from her own minimal dabbling in the violin over those centuries. Already she could pick out the flat notes, the sharp twangs, the missed notes. Overall it wasn't terrible, not entirely too much to bear. But still it grated against her sensitive ears, causing her lips to curl in a hissing snarl as the figure she heard came into view. A small girl. Here? Haha, that was rich. Out loud she laughed, hissed, watching the girl. This girl who had so rudely interrupted Salem's quiet night. No, no the vampire wasn't happy about this, not at all. |

Turning around slowly, Lily looked upon an elegant woman who walked her way with confidence and something more. Her mouth slightly opened as she took in the sight. The way her gown was made with what it seemed like feathers of a raven. Her eyes like rubies against snow. She was loved with silver, red and black. Lilianna couldn't help but tilt her head to the right. The goddess like woman laughed and made Lily jump and nearly drop her mothers precious violin. Along with the laugh was a hiss and Anna crept up to see what the deal was and then slid back down to the corner where she belonged. The goddess seemed to have been disturbed, and by them no less. Great job, girls, Anna spoke to the other personalities. Lily played with her pink flowly skirt that her father had had made for her. Her plum and black laced corset was an item she found in her mothers closet and kept the day she was kidnapped by Vensint. She might as well looked like a commoner or less of a person standing next to a woman like her. Lilianna studied the female before them and figured what was different about her than the other people she came across from. She was a vampyre. A little more interested, Lilianna let Lily take over since, if she were to have control, she might not be wise in her actions. Feeling the reins back into her hands, so to speak, Lily asked softly, "Have I disturbed you, dear goddess?" |

Goddess? Oh, she could get used to that, surely. The vampiress laughed, its sound for once lacking its usual malice, as forward toward the girl she glided, her clicking steps yet still echoing about them. Her gaze remained focused on the girl, her thoughts remained focused on that song, the notes, the sharps, the flats, that she'd heard not moments before. She came to stand before the girl, to tower over her, actually. "Yes, my child, actually. You have." It was all she said for some time, all the while she stood quite still, doing nothing but watching the girl, sensing the mixture dwelling within her, feeling the other-worldly, darkened side within her. Of course it did nothing to startle Salem, nor surprise her, nor change anything about her stance and stature. To the very-much aged vampire, she was still nothing more than a little girl, nothing more than a little pest, who did nothing but disturb her peace. Yet still that term, 'Goddess', how it thrilled her, boosted her ego in so many ways. No she'd spare her rage with this one, would keep her biting comments very much to herself. Until she saw fit, at least. No instead of instigating, instead of criticizing, instead of confusing the poor girl, she reached out a pale hand, grasping the neck of the violin quite carefully, pausing only slightly before removing it from the girl's grasp, plucking the bow from her grip as well. "Here, let me show you. Listen." Gracefully she brought the violin to her chin, playing so beautifully that same melody, her body moving, swaying with the tune, her gaze never leaving the girl as her head bobbed with her movements, as her slender arm flew, the bow dancing delightedly on the strings. Her eyes grew intense at the passion with which she played, blazed at the feeling of the bow in her hand once more. Not one note did she miss, not one phrase did she skip, not one flat, not one sharp in her performance. Once more that smirk curled across her features as she returned the violin slowly, her eyes watching, waiting. "So then, your name?" It was rather a dull question, she would admit, but she had no care, no worry for formalities this night, no matter how fueled she was by pride. This night she simply couldn't care. Not in this company, at least. |

Her candy-like laughter shivered up her spine when it bounce off the walls surrounding them. The small clacking of her heels made known to any who were near that it took divine elegance to make the clacking just right like the woman before her now did. Such beauty, Lilianna thought. Anna, being slightly fed up on the fact that Lilianna was drooling over herself over a vampyre, she bit back at Lilianna. The whore of my personality wants to fuck a vampyre, how refreshing. Nice to know, she can change back and forth between bastards and bitches. Keep to one gender Lilianna, me and Lily are getting sick of you having your way with both sexes. Rolling her eyes, Lilianna ignored the jealous Anna and went back to watching the vampyric goddess in awe. Since Lily was distracted, Lilianna took up to speak the woman. "Forgive me, please, dear goddess," she let the 's' roll off her tongue, "I never meant to disturb such a beauty as you," she said gently as she let the vampyre take her mother's instrument from her hand and watched her with curious eyes. Suddenly the same song that she was taught was being played better than she or her own mother ever could play it. Gazing at the goddess and her mothers violin, Lily felt a tear slide down her cheek as it sounded as it was made to be, perfect. All the personalities stayed silent and swayed almost danced along to the beauty of it's melody. Once ago she was able to make a harmony to the song but if she were to have a spare violin on her she would have played along, but it probably wouldn't be so glorious as the way the vampyre played the tune. Another tear fell and she sighed in relief when the song was at it's end and lightly touched her cheeks. "That was beyond perfect and beauty combined," she breathed and replied to the woman, "I'm Lilianna DeLucas. And what may I call my dear goddess? If she does not mind to tell me her own glorious name." Both Anna and Lily were now under te side effects of hearing such a heart aching song and could hardly escape it's echoing sound in the hall. |

Complacently, she sighed, gliding gracefully forward, moving to slowly circle that infamous green flame, that same glow she'd allowed herself to fall into so many times before. It reflected in her eyes, her visage calm, serene as for once she hardly minded her company. As for once she almost wanted to keep a child alive. Such nuisances they were, more often than not. But not this one. No this one flattered her endlessly, made the disruption nearly welcome. Endlessly she could hear that one name, that one moniker than so easily brought a coy, devilish smirk to her lips. So wrapped up was she in her own musings she hardly heard the girl speak, hardly registered it even with her own sense of hearing so acute. Liliana? Liliana...something. Yes, yes that was it. Not that it truly mattered anyway, surely they would not cross paths after this night. Her mesmerizing gaze fell once more on the girl, lips once more curling in that smirk, expression once more taking on its regal glow, her stance exuding nothing but pride. This was always her favorite part. Made ever better if her name was recognized, if she were recognized, if those lousy and irritating rumors cropped up behind her acquaintance's eye. "I'm Salem. Xavier." She added her surname, almost as a second thought, her gaze falling on the girl, yet her frame remaining exactly where it stood, not a single muscle moved. Still before the flames she towered, the eerie green glow lighting her pale flesh. After some time heer eyes fell upon them, the faces of the damned, those screams she loved so much. The vampire smiled, humored by their predicament, humored by their fate. Proud of her avoidance, her cheating of that same eternity... Perhaps that was what lured her so, what drew her so deep into these caverns, these halls of everything she'd avoided... It brought a smile to her face as once more those icy lips parted, as once more they spoke in that devilish, ethereal tone, "Why here? Are you not a bit young for this place?" |

Lilianna gazed upon the vampyre, with yearning eyes, hoping that again, the goddess before her will grace her with her eyes once more. She watched as the woman circled the screaming flame of green. Tilting her head, Anna wondered what was going through her mind. Suddenly, voices, many at a times, voices began to whisper to her. Looking around quite shocked, Lily tried to focus both on the voices and the vampyre at the same time. Stop it, stop it! Her mind cried as the voices grew even more intense and drowned out the woman out of her vision. Finally, Lily gave up and began to listen to what the voices were saying, and found it too late. They began to mumble, and she couldn't tell one voice from the other then just as quickly as they had appeared, they faded altogether. Her sight cleared and her eyes looked up to her goddess once more and she felt calm. The woman's velvet voice jumped to every wall and flew back at her to lick her and made a shiver run up her spine. Salem Xavier. Never had she heard such a beautiful name. For only a moment did Lilianna envy her. The way the glow of the flame made her look even more lovely than before. Lilianna wanted to touch her, hold her, kiss her, but never would she dare herself a chance to anger the goddess. The shrieking of the dead hissed and caressed the walls as the woman, Salem, annouced her name for her to remember. She leaned forward and gazed as the vampyre smiled. More ice filled her heart, and from then on Lilianna wanted to be a part of her life. Again her deviled goddess spoke, and Lilianna trembled with its beauty. "I am young and I am old. The Dark speaks to me. My age cannot be compared to my appearance, my goddess. I come here to flee from my father and his rules and prison I call his castle. I do not want to be some pretty face he can keep home and watch as though he knows it be best for myself. And what, pray tell, does my dear goddess, master, roam these parts alone and without company," Lilianna asked softly, still breatheless from the woman before her. |

Ah, such a sob story. That of a troubled girl, and nothing more. How Salem came to spend her days with such children, she'd never know. It was becoming rather frustrating, either way. This girl, this Liliana, would only be spared for her submission, her addressing of Salem as goddess. Still the thought brought that hellish grin to the immortal's lips. For some time yet she mused, seeming incapable of engaged conversation this night, so tired of the monotony of midnight meetings. Did mortals not sleep anymore? Did they no longer require rest to function? The vampiress sighed, gaze moving once more to the child, to address her musings with an answer she wasn't sure she had... "Why do I come here? Alone and without company?" She chuckled then, slender frame trembling delicately with the act, "Oh I've graced these halls many times over, and with many a strange company." Her bloodied sight fell once more on the flames, seeming unable to leave them this night, finding more beauty in them than ever before, "My dear Liliana, my only answer... It rather soothes me, to watch them writhe in such agony, to bear witness to that which will never befall me, to feel the power I hold as an immortal." It brought a devilish smile to her lips, such a menacing, sly smirk as she reveled in the thought, basked in the pride of her eternal life. "So many events I've witnessed, so many I've partaken in... Centuries of life, and not a single night taken for granted..." To herself she spoke as her eyes danced in the green glow, her slender hands slipped up before her chest, clasped delightedly at the thought... For moments she stood, once again lost in her own reverie, visage glazed, glassy as over and over her thoughts turned, as consistently her mind brought forth new ideas, new questions from which she chose few to voice. As if breaking from a trance, her gaze jumped to the girl, ever delighted by the child's awe, by her adoration for Salem. It was invigorating. "Oh, but my dear, enough about me. This wretched father of yours, tell me about him, won't you?" Hardly did she believe her own words as they fell from her lips, hardly did she convince herself of such inquiries of someone so seemingly unworthy her time... Ah, well, it couldn't hurt anything, surely. |

Lilianna waited patiently as she woman flicked her gaze back and forth from her and the emerald flame beside them. The goddess before her sighed and her heart melted to the sound as if it belonged to a long love lost to somewhere beyond. Her eyes grew soft and she gazed upon the beauty that spoke and chuckled. She spoke of and explained her reasoning for coming here and along the way, she had met with many. If any of those who came to meet with her unknowingly those night, might have found death too soon. Then again, she could have had some use of them in a way. As much beauty as the goddess held, it seemed like no one in a millions of centuries could compare to. Lilianna's eyes slowly climbed up and down the vampyre and a smirk once again hugged her lips. No one would ever compare to such a creature as she. Gently her eyes caressed Salem's gown of feathers that revealed her wonderous curves and full kissable lips. Her smirk was replaced by a small frown. Her thoughts ran into each as a thought made her want to try anything. Anything to calm that precious body and creature. She wanted her badly that her deep inside of her tightened. Lilianna had to have the vampyre goddess. She yearned to be her companion more than anything but lover. Then she asked of something that silenced her wanting to focus on the answer her goddess wanted to know. Did she really want to know? No, the goddess wouldn't be too interested, she thought. "My father, Vensint? Ugh. Though I slightly adore being his little princess, he's just to obsessive. He killed mother twice to my knowledge. He's quite an unstable soul. Very insane like myself at times. Though, one thing about him was not like him at all entirely. He had something that dealt with me hunting with him. He enjoyed and was satisfied that I shared his hobby. Then he became too posessive of me, I think. It matters not now though. I'm free of him as of now. And I like it." Lily stated and looked longingly at Salem. |

Her eyes not once met the girl as she spoke, throughout her story Salem's mind yet still wandered, only half of the girl's words heard, only a fraction processed. But it was enough, enough for the vampiress to understand, to recognize the girl's troubles. Yet it meant little to the immortal. For she'd had a similar life, all those years ago when she was still mortal, still required to breathe, something that was now nothing more than a novelty. No, Salem's story could fill volumes, her past, her kidnapping. Her punishment of immortality at her mother's adultery. Nearly her lips parted to speak, to issue forth the very story that would crush, easy, Liliana's whining. Would top anything the girl could fabricate. But, well, that would be rude, and likely depressing. And where was the fun in that? Surely it would tarnish the girl's adoration, paint over that brilliant word, "goddess". If anything, Salem beckoned her to speak merely to hear it uttered, merely to bask in its prospects. Yes, yes she could surely get used to it. Liliana had long since fallen silent, gazing at Salem now with the most loving expression the vampiress had ever seen from someone so seemingly young. It did nothing but provoke the pride in her, to stir up some emotion she wasn't too sure about. Her mind swirled with the possibilities, the promise this girl held. Within moments Salem had decided, she must have her, must take her under her wing, must never allow that brilliant, affectionate term to be lost. It stroked her ego all too blissfully. That malicious grin stretched across her lips as her regal gaze fell on the child, her eyes shining with the thoughts behind them. Slowly, she glided across the hall, away from that emerald flame that so strongly held her gaze. Until now. Perfectly she moved, delicately. Salem came to stand before the girl, looking down at her, yet without that stuffy, regal expression. Her visage actually appeared quite sweet, tainted only by that smirk, her lips hardly capable of a proper smile. Slowly, deliberately she reached out a pale hand, tracing her icy fingers along the girl's cheek. A motherly gesture, if anything. And entirely surprising, at that, coming from one such as Salem, an unfit mother to her own born son. "This Vensint, he sounds so harsh, so cruel..." She trailed off, slender form leaning down to even their gazes, to place her delicate face not too far from the girl's. "Liliana, how would you like to call me your guardian? To be mine?" It was an oddly worded question, to be sure, and sounded far more sinister than were Salem's intentions. But it would have to do, her personality unable to be any sweeter than that to such a creature. To such an adorable, insane child... |

A grin appeared on her goddess' lips and she breathed a smile as she saw it and felt her eyes soften with more care for the vampyre. She stood still, froze not with fear or lust but out of being stolen of her own breathe as Salem came closer to her and gave Lilianna her attention with her eyes. Lily could only wonder what was happening, and Anna mentally screamed out a warning to move back but Lilianna heard none of it since she had most control of them in her hands. Even if her smirk meant any harm to them, she wouldn't have cared. She just wanted to hers in many ways. Her eyes even watered when Salem touched her cheek like her mother, Lydia, once had when she was little. It had been so long since she felt her guard slip down but it felt good and instantly, Lily took over, leaving Lilianna in her happy state of mind. Again, her voice hang gently like a soft whisper on the night, as she spoke the name of her father and offer of being hers in a way as her being a mother or, as she had put it, a guardian. Salem leaned down to her level and she felt like hugging her but resisted untill the right moment. Lily's face was shocked as well as Anna's and Lilianna's. She felt her head nod and unable to contain her emotions to herself, Lily's arms wrapped around Salem's waist and hugged her as if she were the mother of life itself. And spoke hurridly in case the vampyre goddess changed her mind. "Oh, yes, please, please, please, my goddess, Salem," Lily heard herself cry out as her eyes releashed the burning sensastion out as hot tears ran down her face. |
