"Tell me more about this... feeding agreement" His new bride coaxed reminding him of a harmless garden snake trying to play with a viper, oh but if only she knew what he had seen in his centuries.<br/><br/>"My dear the only thing you need know about them is that thanks to the blood tablets and the fear of the mundane population of anything different, the practice has been forbidden even between you and I. They even listed it in that contract, believe me you would be a delicacy with the way you smelled back there." He said cutting himself off before he slipped into further detail about how the more the taste excited the vampire the more pleasure the mortal received, or the danger of how with increased pleasure came an increase in the lack of ability to have the control necessary to stop before killing her. He could still sense the darkness within her and wondered just how she planned to use it in life, rarely did good come of something like he felt there. perhaps his bride would be more venomous than a simple garden snake.<br/><br/>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`<br/><br/>Releasing herself from the seat belt as the guards seemed to pout slightly and make way for them she let Motto take her hand and guide her from the car, the sturdy hum of energy that seemed to radiate from him was a comfort to her as they left the small mass of guards and made their way up the walk. Taking in the estate she couldn't help but wonder who had chosen their new home. It was far more elegant than her apartment and probably had more room than she would know what to do with. She caught herself mindlessly staring at the building before them with her mouth slightly gaped and closed it to try and regain whatever composure she had lost.<br/><br/>"You have it way worse than I do." her husband said calling her attention back to him. “If sh*t happens, you’re basically dead. I just get to feast..” he seemed to pause as if his thought process had taken a sharp turn.  “But ..actually… I’ll be punished ..badly.” Another small pause made her wonder what threats they had pinned him into this with. “So...I have it worse.” He swallowed and slowly let go of her hand. “They want me to fail. I can feel it. It p*sses me off.” His black wings disappeared and set a train of side thoughts in her mind wondering how on earth he controlled those things.  “But you know what? We’re gonna beat them.” With a sudden smile, Motto swept her off her feet and held her bridal style as a gasp escaped her and she heard the guards behind them mumbling something and shuffle. “I saw this in a movie once.” He said his smile causing her to relax a little and laugh, here she was in the arms of a vampire and she was relaxed, laughing and almost looking forward to what the coming days may hold.<br/><br/>Oh if only she could go back two weeks and tell herself about this day. She was no longer a burden to her friends living in the extra room to their  apartment, she wouldn't die alone, he was almost guaranteed to out live her, and the only threat to their well being was the council wanting the truce to work out, and his hunger if she started leaking. However she had gone from carefree alone and pessimistic to terrified and shaking and then over to her current state of optimistic thinking and laughing with someone that could snap her bones with the slightest ease, she didn't think she would ever believe it if she wasn't living it. This vampire was nothing like the ones in the news.
