haha 'cuz I'm a ninja. Sneaky.. Sneaky

'cuz I'm reading along again on here...
and everyone on here is cooler than on myspace haha

Yay! New story! *reads, mouth hanging open*
Aww... now I wanna cry. Poor Shanae...
lol I almost wrote Shandee .... Awkward.... *whistles*

O_O More! lol I sound like lestat in QotD ;D

P.S. Where'd you get the names for the characters?

I'll drink to that haha!

I hope adding that bit in helped make sense of the rest of the story to you.
Lestat in Interview With The Vampire was so much better than in QotD! I couldn't stand him in that, I must admit.

The names (and personalities) were derived from me and my friends. Raphael is long for Raff (my nickname), Shanae is my best mate Shane's name but my girlfriends personality, Lillith is Lynden (and also Goddess of Vampires/witches etc), Erik and Ashton (who come in later) are Erika (my gf's best friend) and Ashmar (my other best friend) and Cerebus is Shane's adopted name cos he thought it sounded cool.

The basic plot line is based along what happened between my girlfriend and I at one point, with a bit of artistic license involved

Raff.

Yay! haha

oh Yeah it helped Danke.

I'm addicted to QotD moreso because of the Music than anything.
I saw IwtV once & I really didn't like it that much. I like the book better. In both cases....

lol Awesome.
O_o really? Sweetness!

Nice artistic licensing btw.... lol.....no, really! lol

OMG This is really good. You should continue writing. i [attachment=133]love reading about this.

Hello once again.
The next few chapters are probably some of my favorites at the moment, they begin to deal with more emotions than the previous chapters.
Hope you enjoy =)

Raff

************************************************** *************

"The last of daylight fades
Giving way to blackest night
Like a great white swan
You silently take flight.

Inside you hide a secret
One that I know too well
You placed your trust in me
And I promised not to tell.

You are my darkened angel,
A creature of the night.
Just like a little girl,
Your hold I can not fight.

By day I'm in your arms,
By night I do desire.
You are my darkest love,
My deadly sweet Vampire."

The class sat in stunned silence as Shanae finished her poem. A few pencils tapped on tables, and a few coughs emerged from throats, but there was nothing. She shuffled her feet self consciously, before her teacher finally came to his senses and claps softly. "Well done child, well done. That was a uhh... A moving piece, definately. Does anyone else want to -" He was cut off by the school bell and the groaning of chairs pushed away from tables. In seconds the room was empty, leaving only himself. Why couldn't this school be more like a movie, he thought. Some good drama to liven up his life, not silly vampire stories from his students. Vampires weren't real anyway.

Raphael and Shanae walked hand in hand down the hallway, a sea of students parting before them. No one seemed to want to get in Raphael's way. There was a deceptive strength about him, you could see it in his eyes. Even if no one actually saw his eyes. They were always covered by his dark glasses. Even in the darkest rooms. Teachers never pulled him up on it, it was just his thing.
The two reached Shanae's locker, and Raphael bent down to give her a kiss, but instead moved to her neck and softly nipped her, eliciting a short moan from her. Raphael smiled in satisfaction before whispering in her ear, and disappearing into the crowd of students.
Shanae came to her senses and began dialing in the combination to her locker. 18. 9. 90. Bingo. She swung it open, the metal squeaking softly, and checked the timetable she had taped to the back of her locker. Chemistry. Her heart skipped a beat. She had Chemistry with Raphael. And also half of her English class. Shanae softly bit her lip, unsure of how Raphael would act upon hearing the news about her poem. Part of her wasn't willing to find out, but the other part wasn't willing to fail English.
Shanae swung her locker shut and jumped as the face of her friend Erik appeared from behind the door. "Jesus Christ Erik! What the hell?"
He laughed, and began signing to her. Erik was a mute, so Shanae had took it upon herself to learn sign language and befriend him.
-What's up chickadee? You seem down?
-Nothing, just worried about Chemistry. Yourself?
-I'm hungry.
Shanae giggled. He was always hungry, even when he was eating. -You loser. I've got to go, I'll catch you later, ok?
-No worries, see you round.
The two hugged and parted ways.

Raphael sat in Chemistry, only half listening to their bajillion year old teacher. The woman had a voice like a chorus of kittens on a hot tin roof.
Under the table, his hand was discretely holding on to Shanae's, comforted by her warmth and her closeness.
In his breast pocket, his ninja ringtone started going off. Raphael moved his spare hand up to his mouth, as if to cough, and slipped the phone into his jacket sleeve, tapping the 'Answer' button as he did so. He moved his hand to his head and lent on it, as if disinterested in the world.
"Raff, you there?"
God he hated that name. "Yeah, what's up?"
"Man, you should have heard your girlfriends poetry in English today. It rocked something epic."
Raphael glanced over at the girl beside him, marveled at her beauty, before replying. "Oh really? What was it about."
The voice on the end of the line snorted softly. "I dunno, something about having the hots for a Vampire, real Gothic stuff, but it rocked."
Raphael glanced once again at the girl beside him, still seeing her beauty but a sense of betrayal creeping in to his mind. He hated it. "Uh huh. I'll get her to read it to me. I got to go, I'll talk to you later."
"'Kay man, later."
Raphael hung up and exhaled loudly. Shanae squeezed his hand tighter, and he smiled wearily. God he needed a drink right now...

This is my favorite... out of the ones that you've posted on here.

Raff you need to get this published! I'm serious man!

"Mmm come to me yummy Coco Pops. I'm gonna eat you..." Ashton flicked his short black hair out of his face and reached into the cupboard to bring out his favourite breakfast cereal, which he never had for breakfast. He pulled the yellow carton out from its home in his pantry and began to fix himself an after school snack, when a knock on the door drew his attention away.
Grumbling, Ashton made dropped the cereal on the counter and worked his way through his usually clean house.
Ashton knew who it would be before he opened the door, but asked out of courtesy. "Who the hell are you and why are you interrupting my coco pops?!" The door swung open violently, sending Ashton backwards on to his rump. Raphael blew through the door way, cursing under his breath the entire way. He jumped straight on to the counter top and immediately stopped talking when he saw the bowl of coco pops on the table. Without another word, he grabbed a spoon and began eating them.
Ashton limped painfully in to the kitchen, holding his behind tenderly. He looked up suddenly at the sound of a spoon hitting a bowl, and suddenly lost the pain in his arse. "MOFO! YOU ATE MY COCO POPS!"
Raphael rolled his eyes and draped himself over the bench, legs hanging over one side and head hanging over the other.
Ashton stepped over to him and sat on the table. "That bad, huh?"
Raphael shot bolt upright and began talking. "You've got no idea! First I run into Lillith last night and she starts going on about a party she wants me at, then I come home to fall asleep and then I wake up and the first thing in to my head? Chemistry. God damn chemistry! So I get to my chem class and I'm thinking that everything's going swell so far, and then I get a call telling me that Shanae has been spilling crap about me! And those coco pops sucked by the way, they're probably past their use by date."
Ashton sighed painfully. His friend was such a pessimist. Even the smallest things got under his skin. "Alright. One; I know of every party going down in the next four months and there's not a single one that Lillith is having. Two; Chemistry is the bane of all our existences, get used to it. Four; She's a chick, and you have crap taste in chicks. And finally, they weren't crap, you're crap."
Raphael nodded blankly at him. "Comforting Ashton, comforting."
"Look," Ahshton blurted as he jumped off of the table. "Shanae is saying stuff because she's a right little douche bag, comprende? And you need to break it off with her now."
Raphael was stunned, lost for words. "But... But I lo-"
"Dude you finish that sentence and I kill you."
"Maybe I should call her..."
"Maybe you shouldn't? Look man, I know this is hard for you to hear but if she's been spreading crap about you that could endanger your social life, then I say you let her know. She's screwed you over something chronic before, and I don't want to see you go through that again, ok?"
Raphael's phone buzzed in his pocket as a message came through. He slipped his hand in and pulled it out, flicking open the case. A smirk lit up his face and he smiled smugly at Ashton. "It's her."
Ashton rolled his eyes.
Raphael's smile evaporated as he read through the text.

Shanae lay on her bed, legs dangling off the end. She was only half listening to her Ipod. The lyrics seemed to speak to her, even if she didn't know exactly what they were saying.
Step by step, I reach for you.
Step by step, I fall behind.
Step by step.
Or something like that.
Finally, she could take it no longer. She knew that she had to do this, that it was for the best. Shanae knew that Raphael would never forgive himself if he hurt her, so she took the initiative.
-Raphael, I don't think we should see each other anymore. I know that having a mortal girlfriend is hard for you, and I don't want to complicate your life any further. I'm sorry. Shanae.
Shanae slumped down again, ashamed at what she'd done to him. But she knew it was for the best. After what that... that man informed her of, he probably never liked her anyway. Not that it mattered. No, none of it matter. Shanae turned her Ipod up until her ears hurt, using that as an excuse for the tears spilling down her face.

Raphael hadn't said anything for five minutes, and Ashton was starting to get worried. He reached over to take the phone from his friend to see what had caused his sudden comatose, but thought better of it when Raphael snarled viciously. Ashton finally opened his mouth. "Dude, what's wrong?"
Raphael snarled again. "I've gotta go."
Ashton raised a hand but it was in vain, Raphael blew out of his apartment as fast as he came in, and all that was left was his mobile with the text still on the screen.

Raphael ran until his legs could no longer hold him, his breathe came in short gasps and he collapsed on the side of a building. He wasn't prepared for this, wasn't prepared to lose her. He knew it would happen but he didn't want it to happen anytime soon. Already his stomach knotted at the thought that he wouldn't see her tonight or any night after that. The grim finality hit him like a hammer blow, and Raphael slumped against the wall and let a welcome sleep consume him.

Deep inside of him, the shadow that made up the Vampire curse that was in his veins took this chance to surface, and do what it had longed to do for over three decades. The Vampire in him was hungry, and it wanted to be fed now. But more than anything, it wanted company.

"You look lost."
The girls head snapped around, away from the bus timetable in her hand and into the eyes of the man who confronts her. Her dark blue eyes widen with recognition as she stares at the man. His silver hair covers most of his face, making recognition almost impossible. But she knows who he is. He's that boy from school, that Raphael. Her hear begins to beat faster as she realizes she's been standing in silence like a total dork for probably a minute now. "Umm… Yeah, I am a little… This isn't my neighborhood; I'm not from around here." Why did she repeat her point twice? Stupid, stupid, stupid!

Raphael chuckled softly, and he stepped closer to her. "Well where do you live Miss…"
"Raven. Raven Blake." She blurted out suddenly, thinking that it was a drastic mistake to not let this drop dead gorgeous boy know her name. What was the worst that could happen?

Raven fell back against the wall and moaned as Raphael's hands explored her body, she didn't resist at all when he left a trail of kisses across her breast and up to her neck. Though she did think it was a little odd that he remained at her jugular for so long. But it felt so good… Better than anything she'd ever experienced before.

Raphael continued to kiss at her neck, relishing the feeling of the blood coursing through her veins just under the skin. Finally, when he could stand it no longer, he plunged his fangs into her neck and began to drink. And as he did, he cut his tongue with his sharp incisors and let a little of his own blood seep into the wound. Raphael closed his eyes and drank deep, allowing the warm blood to soothe the pain of his loss.

Raphael awoke.

Oh god, he thought. What have I done?

Raphael continued to drink, not willing to leave a single drop of blood in the young girls body, lest she return like himself. Each gulp tasted like acid, and stung his mouth. He was ashamed of himself, ashamed at how easily he had forgotten about Shanae. Ashamed at how willing he was to pass a curse on to this girl.
He left the dried up corpse where it fell, and walked home in silence without cleaning the mess off of his clothes. Being beaten to death by an angry mob seemed a good idea for him at the moment.

OOOOO! This makes me all happy/sad/excired at the same time.


Oh btw
"MOFO! YOU ATE MY COCO POPS!"
lol How did you know I was eating them?

AWESOME!!!!
I love the way this is going.

Haha! I didn't, it was a running joke between me and one of my best mates that I decided to keep in.
I love coco pops...
