He awoke. A dimly lit room surrounded his gaze. The lanterns flickered with the tiny gift of fire that danced inside of them. Beauty and destruction... all could be found in fire. It was the perfect murderer, yet gave you life all the same. Such could only be said of the element. It gifted light to the cell that encased it. Casting an eerie glow as the shadows flickered up and down from the walls.
His hand fell, stroking satin sheets. Upon the clean, deep crimson color of the bed, a canopy soon encircled him. It was laced with ebonite blackness and felt of silk. There were several paintings that decorated the unadorned violet walls. The dark purple color molded into the vampric setting. He felt as if he was a victim to a sadist monster, being seduced by the touch of the undead. Oh if Death had such a touch he would be captured within it far before that moment.
The curtains suddenly pulled back. There stood a very handsome man. His lips were lush, full, gorgeous... His hair long - falling to the small of his back - and smelt of roses. Oh the rose... It was so lovely and so enticing. The flower of boiling lust...
As if sensing his thoughts, the man's pale face leaned close to his. Resting a tender, feminine hand against the inner thigh of the younger boy, he eased him against the sheets. A rush escaped his lungs as lips touched. Falling into a spasm of sensations, his inner temperature ascended. In a squeak he felt those hands move to his hips, gripping them tightly and pressing him firmly against the bed. The elder male kissed down his neck, teasing where he was most sensitive and applying soft bites to his adam's apple.
Like a saber he suddenly plunged into his heart. It was not of broken-heartedness, but utterly opposite. A joy so strong it burned like a thousand needles. Wailing out with ecstacy he found himself falling back. His lover was smiling at his noise, nuzzling against him compassionately. Soft kisses were placed to his brow. He was an enemy to the boy's species, but loved him so dearly.
The man gently outlined his lip with his thumb, kissing him once more. In forbidden love they held each other. Kisses embraced, as did arms, as did their legs in an entwinement. Licking up to his ear, he teased the lobe with a smirk of seduction. Such movements sent him trembling and shuddering, becoming victim to the other's sweet touch. Like a poison it invaded his veins, claiming his arteries and sending his heart into cardiac arrest.
Gasping out with sharp waves of pleasure, he soon found their lovely moment tarnished. A knock on the door sent alarm through both of the lovers. Kissing him, the blond-haired man disappeared out the door. His footsteps followed as he paced down the stairs to where he was needed.
Alone in the darkness he sat, his hands lightly fumbling with the sheets. As misfortunate as Romeo and Juliet, their tale would fall into extinction. Only brought to life in the memories of one of those men. As he settled against the pillow, he thought of how beautiful his life was. Just as gorgeous as the man he felt so deeply for. He was oblivious to their fate, but only knew the present.
And with that, the door opened. His lover re-entered... tears in his eyes... lush lips parted... and he spoke out the words...
A voice far off pulled him away from such a beautiful dream. A memory both joyful and devastation all at once. That discourse had been filled of panic. But what being did he know? Auds heard not a familiar tone but that of a stranger. It rang out in an unknown tongue. Such a thing was feminine, softer and shriller... And in that fact his heart sunk further. Such love had been decapitated long ago. It would not return to his essence...
Movement, now. He felt himself being dragged along the tundric wasteland. Still his muscles remained disobedient. Tired and spent from the travel, weak from the blood loss, and heart eternally wounded, it would not permit him to regain his composure anytime soon. Had he become prey to a bear? A badger? Perhaps another starved wolf had come to claim the meat of his corpse? Oh what tragic fate that would be. Such a noble creature to die at the horrid fangs of a rival predator. And a disgraceful one at that..
Still again, he felt his muscles slowly come back to life. Still, they refused to budge him and he splayed across the landscape, as all things must do when Death comes to claim them. Yet he was interrupted by a muzzle pressing against his own. It sent him a calming ripple, letting his body sink into such compassion with open arms.
...Mother...
Such a word caused his limbs to quiver as he slowly began to push himself up. Eyes snapped open as pain rippled through his body. In his moment of warmth he had been numbed and replaced with the horrid gift of mutilation. The image around him dazzled as the sun beamed from the snow. He saw a female wolf standing over him. His glacial optics turned to observe her face, but before they could do such thing they fell shut.
A sensation of being lifted enveloped him. A growl of protest was all he could muster. Still his body seemed to be against him in such civil war. The feeling of another body warming his own left him cautious but grateful. Melting into that frame, he let his eyes fall shut slowly. In such weariness, he deserted all himself and once again succumbed to his own mental exhaustion.
And the dream, yet again, would reiterate and leave his heart in its own sorrowful anguish...
