Kathryn (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=52418.msg2721870#msg2721870) had had an interesting night.<br/><br/>An hour before the wedding Kathryn had managed to reveal some business dealings of the groom to the bride to be in what would have been a very elaborate wedding. The bride knew he had some shady deals but what he got his company to do was unforgivable. The groom was indeed a malicious man and one Kathryn had earmarked for prey when the time became convenient.<br/><br/>Strangely just before seeing to it Kathryn got a glimpse of his .. soon to be bride and that is when everything changed, but as luck would have it the man's life was saved. Stealing a bride and killing a man on the same day was a little too low even in Kathryns books, even if the man was evil. The man would still be wondering where his bride was, likely thinking many things, none likely to be the truth however.  Mesmerizing the mortals about the reception to not recall events or notice her was easy. Explaining all the crimes the man did concerning the nations he exploited to the bride ... less so.<br/><br/>Kathryn could have willed the woman to be calm the entire time but seeing true emotions came in handy to ground oneself. But after two hours Kathryn had enough and willed calmness all the same. Patience wasn't one of Kathryn's strongest of traits.<br/><br/>Without doing so last night wouldn't have been the haven of lesbian sex it was ...  And currently both lingered in the favorite bedroom the elder vampire retained in her private abode within the city.<br/><br/>(http://www.likecool.com/Home/Building/Poseidon%20Underwater%20Hotel/Poseidon-Underwater-Hotel.jpg)<br/><br/>In one corner behind the main bed sat the bride... lisa ... who this very moment was giving Kathryn a very searching gaze.<br/><br/>(http://fashionbride.files.wordpress.com/2008/02/158.jpg)<br/><br/><strong>"Did you make me into a vampire last night ?"<br/><br/>"No Lisa, although the though crossed my mind"<br/><br/>"If you did would I be forced to be loyal ?"</strong><br/><br/><strong>"Some vampires have natures that will do that but it doesn't work like that with my kind. The change isn't exactly pleasant hon, besides why would you want to be one ? Your gorgeous, you can have life at your fingertips without anything more  ?"<br/><br/>"Its just so ... mysterious. How old are you?"</strong><br/><strong><br/>"Actually I don't really know. Many elders are proud of how long they have lived, I don't really care and quickly lost count."<br/><br/>"Your one that can control others minds make them honest about their secrets. Who wouldn't wish for that ?"</strong><br/><br/><strong>"Doing so is overrated sometimes. People have a lot of emotions surrounding their secrets, wading through it can be annoying. Which is like effort and frankly if I want something there is usually easier ways to get it then dealing with another's issues. Simple commands and memory blanking is a lot more useful than making them honest in most situations"</strong><br/><br/><strong>"Did you do things to me you made me forget ?"</strong><br/><br/><strong>"Oh Lisa" </strong>Kathryn groaned closed her eyes placing a pillow over her face.<br/><br/>This was the annoying thing about being honest while trying not to use ones mind control powers on another.<br/>So many questions - it just made one tempted to control their mind to simply stop another comming.<br/><br/><strong>"Its hard to say ... I may have in minor ways as I do so by habit. Its not intentional and usually relates to something trivial. For example if I try and avoid reading your mind because I am curious about befriending you .. which frankly is my intention. <br/>I would ask about something trying to be polite .... lets say I did on a topic which makes you feel guarded or fearful .. <br/>if I am lazy and I usually am ... I wouldn't control your mind to do what I want ... instead out of habit, I would just erase your memory of the last moment involving the question - releases the tension - and try another tact... like a rewind on a tape"</strong><br/><br/><strong>"Oh... you say that so matter of factly ! We did have sex though right ? Or was all that a false memory?"<br/><br/>"Lisa if you don't trust me then you wouldn't trust my answer to these questions right ? "</strong><br/><br/><strong>"I suppose not ... its just that it was so wonderful I just assume you .. "</strong><br/><br/><strong>"It was real hon. Sheer experience gives one abilities also"</strong><br/><br/><strong>"So I really did .. "</strong><br/><br/><strong>"Yes"</strong>Kathryn threw a cushion at Lisa which bounced off her lap onto the floor a moment later ... sending Lisa into a playful giggle.<br/><br/><strong>"If your an elder vampire, does that mean you control others ? like have vampires under you ?"</strong><br/><br/><br/><strong>"Some elders go to great lengths to have them numerous and loyal. Those associated with me however are more affiliates than anything else. Younger vampires, less powerful, true ... but under me ? Not really. However other elder would consider them my <br/>flock so to speak. Its not like they are not loyal, its more like there really isn't much reason for loyalty in the first place - you see I dont need them to dominate the earth or create ships. I want them to love life. And although technically I am their superior I find myself being asked to do things for them more often than the other way around."</strong><br/><br/><strong>"You mean they boss you around instead ? Are you submissive to them?"<br/><br/>"Like order me around ? Hah ! More like asked me to answer questions that dont end like you do Lisa ! But I like it, its a sign of a curious mind. If it is not that its things like ... <em>oh lady Kathryn is there any chance you could help so and so </em>... <em>Lady Kathryn Oh lady Kathryn ... you wouldn't believe whats happened is there anyway you can help me ? </em>" the vampire mimiced the voices she recalled fro memory so perfectly it startled lisa. "Its more like I am a older sister to them or something." </strong><br/><br/>Kathryn laughed then noticed her mobile was calling... then mouthed to the woman 'just a moment hon' ... before putting the phone to her ear...<br/>
