Banding Together in Halloween Town

Lillith batted her eyes at him. "I just enjoy seeing you all held down and struggling."

She patted him on the cheek. "Though of course, it's always more fun when you're struggling against me." With that, she swiped a foot behind his legs and leaned in for a kiss that would (hopefully) knock him off-balance and onto his back.

Lillith watched him for a moment and a smirk slowly spread across her face. She dove down and made her way to the lake monster, catching its attention before swimming toward Lock. She stayed barely within reach of the tentacles, just enough to keep its interest, then used a burst of vampiric speed to dodge it in such a way that it grabbed her boyfriend's tail instead.

She passed Lock and turned back to blow him a kiss as she flew through the water to the shoreline.

If they weren't underwater, Lillith would have snickered. After a moment, she swam down to help him, but he managed to free himself before she got there. She patted the lake monster before joining Lock at the surface. This time, she gave him a proper snog, twirling his tail in her fingers as she did so.

Lillith kissed him back and teasingly ran one hand down along his leg. With her other hand, she reached up to touch his cheek -- conveniently hooking her arm up under his to do so, causing him to release his grip on her waist. She pulled her face away and winked at him before suddenly giving the tentacle around his ankle a few quick tugs that could easily be interpreted as Lock playing at an escape.

She waved as the lake monster gleefully pulled them apart and and dragged her boyfriend downward.

Lillith patted the lake monster as she watched Lock swim back to the surface. She gave him just enough time to take a good deep breath -- or a few quick shallow ones -- before she used a burst of vampire speed to launch herself far enough out of the water to tackle him and drag him back under.

Lillith grinned and shifted back into her normal form. She lied on the monster's back and continued stroking and scritching it as she waited for Lock to notice.

Lillith circled back in a wide arc. She came up on the far side of the lake monster and latched onto its back. She stroked it with one claw while she watched the hazy form that was Lock swim around looking for her.

Lillith carefully avoided the creature and moved around it. Based on its movements, it was feeling frisky rather than annoyed. She got behind Lock, close enough to see him petting the tentacle wrapped around his leg, and figured her boyfriend was distracted enough not to see her coming.

The vampire used her gift of grace to pop up for a breath without disturbing the surface water enough for him to notice, then ducked back down under. Moving slowly enough to not be detected made catching his tail difficult, but she still managed to give it a good bite. She sank below again as quickly as she could.

Lillith felt something significantly bigger than her little bat body move above her, and grinned mischievously to herself as she launched herself at it. A long, thin, flexible appendage just barely came into her view. She darted at it, giving a playful bite to what she assumed was Lock's tail.

It was not Lock's tail. It was much squishier than Lock's tail.

Bubbles erupted from her tiny mouth as she squeaked in alarm, moving backward as fast as she could without using her vampiric speed. She got a good look at a mouth full of teeth as the lake monster casually took a chomp in her direction.

Lillith heard him dive under and moved a little farther from the shore. A few powerful flaps thrust her out of the water and a good ten feet into the air, where she shifted back and cannon-balled back into the lake. She allowed herself to sink to the bottom before becoming a bat again. She lied on the sand in the darkness, waiting for Lock to come investigate the splash.
