A post from my role play with the glorious Ojo-Chan! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
"Hmmm... I suppose that means the rumors about vampires needing an invitation to come in was complete bullshit by how you reached through what should have been a barrier."
Caterina smirked up at him as she placed a hand upon his chest, gently pushing him back though she knew that was completely because he was going along with her whims. She was not oblivious to their power dynamic, nor the ignorant of how quickly he could kill her. But that made her want him all the more, left her thirsting for the danger that lurked beneath. She trusted him enough to know he would not wish her harm, but knew well enough that did not mean he wouldn't cause harm. Accidents happened, accidents that could cost her life.
But as soon as she agreed to spend her life with him she had forfeited everything to him. She was his... There was nothing more to it in the end.
"I suppose the catacombs will be sufficient for our hunt. I will have my maid bring me a map of the catacombs and I shall map out the safe points. It will be delivered a week before the full moon to ensure plenty of time for you to study it. In these safe spaces I shall torment you however I wish, and you will not step within these bounds."
Her hand snaked up to his cheek, brushing her fingers against it as her expression turned ice cold. She had never shown an expression like this to him, it was a side of herself she had long buried... But it rose from it grave along with her thirst for vengeance.
"If you do... You will break my trust in you. I will never agree to a hunt ever again, I will never step foot out of my room until my revenge is complete and only then will I ask you to turn me... Then I will go back into my room and spend eternity there. Your eternal bride you sought so desperately will never be seen by yours eyes again. I refuse to relinquish all my power in this hunt... And I feel like you enjoy the challenge anyways."
That smirk returned though those eyes seemed to hold that icy grip still, as if she were the ice queen of mythos herself. She turned her back to him, revealing that enticing blood to him before she looked over her shoulder.
"I thought you preferred red... But I suppose a nice white gown can be procured. Though my dearest Leonardo..."
She began to close the door with her foot as she kept her gaze on him over her shoulder.
"You'll have to wait till next month for your answer. I will not give up all my secrets so willingly."
With that the door closed, Caterina flopping onto her bed as she buried her face in that soft down feather pillow. This... This was everything she wanted. Now she just had to carefully wait, and let her absence drive him mad. It would be more fun that way... So much more fun.
An entire month passed without Caterina exiting her room. The maids assigned to her diligently bathed her, kept her wounds treated, fed her meals and ensured she was pampered. All within darkness, her eyes closed to the world behind a blindfold she refused to take off unless it was night time. Her curtains stayed drawn, ensuring no one but her maids could see her. But the most petty thing she did was she asked her maids to drench any cloth items she used in perfume before they exited the room. She wanted to ensure that he'd not get a single whiff of her besides on the night of that full moon... Or in the hallway where she bled. She wanted to drive him insane with memories of her, with lust for her blood.
With the amount of food she had eaten along with daily exercise in her room she was getting ready to give him hopefully some difficulty in his hunt. But that blindfold never left her eyes, relearning everything in the darkness blind to the world around her. She could not read nor write, becoming almost... Primitive in her instincts. But she never lost her ability to play the piano, finding once she memorized the place of the keys she could still play as she pleased. Night after night, without fail, she played various different composures. Until three nights before the hunt.
The first night perhaps one could consider she was merely getting her rest. The second night doubt would set in, and the third would be a definitive sign that this was no mere coincidence. On the fourth night, the night of the hunt, just as the sun began to set... The piano began to play once more. This time though it was a
new song she had created in the darkness of her own mind, practicing it endlessly in silence until the full moon shines through her window. The curtains were open, the moonlight pooling through the window, illuminating the beautiful and now highly curvaceous woman at the piano sitting there in only her white nightgown. She did not begin her journey to the catacombs though... Oh no, she wanted to make him wait.
It wasn't that she didn't miss him... Oh no, she merely wished to ensure her plan to drive him wilder than he had ever been before was truly complete. Her will to complete what she had started won out on her desire to see and hold him... Though there has been a few times she had caught her hand upon the door ready to give it all up. But tonight was the night, she would see him soon... But not yet.
She continued to play that song for nearly an hour, an endless loop until her finger throbbed. It was in that moment she knew that they'd do exactly what she needed them to, and with that she finally exited her room... Still blindfolded. She walked effortlessly following silently behind the head butler, almost as if she was nothing more than a ghost. She entered the catacombs, hearing the doors close behind her... And only then did she remove her blindfold.
She pulled a dagger from betwixt her breasts, placing the dagger on each of her fingers and punctured them ever so slightly. Enough blood to drag along those bones that sounded her. She knew it would only be a matter of time before he would find her, there was no doubt her would... But she would not be so easy.
She ran as fast as she could through the maze of the deceased, spreading her blood as much as she could before she found her way to the first safety zone. She did not stay for long, merely smearing her blood upon the dagger before she tossed it within the candlelight. A taste of what was to come... To stall him long enough to get her close to the second safe zone. But would she get there before he got to her?
She grinned wildly as she set off into the darkness once more, enjoying the macabre sights around her... As she heard those pounding feet closing in upon her.
