Setting
He'd then be silent as he started to pick a long and sharp shard of glass from the shattered mirror....
He'd look at the floor. ''You should leave...and lock the door Sasayai..'' He'd say as his fangs started to retract, his voice tired with a slur though it was disturbingly serious. He would use his free hand to hold his face, his other hand shaking...
He'd then collapse onto the ground and his body would visible shake, he'd groan and growl as he continued to fight what he knew would come if Sasayai didn't protect himself against him..
He would sway his bogy back and forth as he looked up and down Sasayai, his black claws extended in length and as he grinned at Sasayai his fangs were out. Fire flickered of his hair, his once icy blue eyes were blood red, not flaming orange like normal and he'd start to slowly, step by step...walk to Sasayai..
Seeing the blood start to seep from Sasayia's face Faron would put his face near Sasayia's, Faron's red hair feathered and brushed against Sasayai;s face as he went and licked the blood from the wound...
Then Faron would start to turn his attention to Sasayai neck, licking it slowly before his fangs sunk into it..
He would then start ripping Sasayai's T-shirt slowly, the ripping being heard as the seam of the T-shirt was being slowly shredded apart, his claws would also dug into Sasayai's chest now, Faron was in a some sort of frenzied state of mind..
He heard the tearing of his t-shirt as his pale chest was exposed feeling the claws dig into his chest leaving an angry red mark on him as a few tears fell from his eyes. His chest slowly rising and falling as he again tried to break free.
Faron would harshly continue, blood running down his chin and from Sasayai's neck, staining his T-shirt but Faron would stop tugging on Sasayai's hair and move his hand to the back of his neck and wrap his fingers around it, tightening the grip slightly, tapping his claws on Sasayai's neck.
The other hand would rest on Sasayai's rest, but one finger scratched at his skin..
He almost was relieved when the hand stopped tugging on his hair, only to feel it wrap around his neck a bit tightly as he felt the claw tap on him causing him to shudder. He felt the hand resting on his chest feeling a finger scratch at it drawing a few droplets of blood as he weakly tried to kick Faron away, though his vision was blurry.
As Sasayai launched in and out of consciousness Faron would stop drinking Sasayai's blood, kissing his neck before pulling away...Just standing there..eyes looking down on him and they started going back to normal...if blank facial expression soon became one of worry and disgust of himself...
He had crouched by the dust bathed dresser, searching through it's drawers. He flipped through decorative boxes and scraps of jewelry left behind from his old life. Parts of him that he felt he needed to forget at one point in his life.
She stood, leaning against the doorway, in a loose fitting blouse, grungy jeans, with her hands thickly bandaged from weeks toiling over the hole in the floor of the bar. Her hair, which at one point had maintained a flirtatious curl, hung in limp tendrils around her face, loose from a ponytail that held her hair securely back.
"It didn't stay on for long." she added, stepping inside and reaching to close the door. There was nothing but silence, and perhaps ten feet of space between them.
But it felt like a chasm.
"You okay?" she asked, but she didn't sound too interested in the answer.
"So, you still remember this place?"
Taylor stood, separating the drawer with one motion, moving to empty its contents on the bed. He grazed them heap of things with his hand, lightly pushing apart the remnants of a life long forgotten.
"When you came up here, all I could think was 'Man, this is going to be a good night.' And I didnt think that because of your personality or anything like that. I thought you'd be a good fuck; That you'd be gone in the morning with a few pictures to sell to the tabloids and a few bills you slipped out of my wallet. It wasn't anything personal, just what I was used to. I was Andrea's son, a ticket to stardom with a pair of legs and nice abs. Thing was, I was fine with that. I was fine with being the carbon copy of another man."
He pulled a rusted watched from the pile, its band broken and its face cracked.
"But then you stayed, and I had my suspicions. Suspicions that youd be something different then the rest. I wasnt sure if it was a better difference, not for a while at least. And when I was certain that you were, something changed in me. Something broke, but what broke was something I wasnt quite sure I needed, or wanted. I snapped from that mold for a while, started becoming my own person for a while. I wasnt living under the shadow of Andrea for once. I wasnt expected to be a politician, or lead an army. I was expected to find my own place with you."
He unclasped the watch, sliding it over his hand.
"But then he died, and everyone wanted me to be him. To replace him. To fill that void he left behind. And when I looked to you, you didnt seem to mind. So I did."
"I only ever wanted to be precisely what you needed me to be. You wanted to lead, so I followed you. You wanted to keep me at a distance, so I waited patiently for you to trust me. You wanted to go away to a war, to fight, so I let you go. I loved and lost you, and I wasn't rewarded for my patience, Taylor. You came back, but you're not here. You're not with me anymore."
Her eyes welled. "It hurts so much to miss you."
Taylor made his way towards Liz, sitting at the edge of the bed that faced her.
"How old were we when all of this was thrust upon us. 19? 20? We were kids, Liz. I wasnt sure of anything, except that I loved you. I wasnt even sure that I wanted to be Taylor..."
He gazed up at her, wanting nothing more than to stop her tears. Unfortunately, he knew that they were necessary. Forcing her to witdraw even more wasnt the answer.
"Do you remember my name, Liz? my first name?"
"But what's in a name, anyway?" she asked, her throat thick. She didn't move closer to him. "That which we call a rose, by any other name would smell as sweet..."
She glanced away. "But you're not you. You've grown up. I don't know what's happened to me, but I don't know that I can be everything I used to be, for you or for anyone else."
Useless. She felt so incredibly useless.
