Do You Miss the Sunrise?
A vampire love story. Or something.
"Do you miss the sunrise?" I whisper, solemn.
She seems to think for a moment. Looking into my eyes the whole time. Searching for something.
"I do." She finally replies. Closing her eyes briefly then looking back up.
The light from the moon outside reflects off of them. Turning them a brilliant yellow for only a moment.
She takes a step closer, pushing me further against the wall. She takes a firm grasp on my chin and pushes my face to the side, giving her access to my pulse.
With her other hand she brushes my hair away.
She leans in and presses her lips against my throat reverently. She takes a deep inhale. Breathing me in.
I surrender in her grip. Tight though it may be. It is still tender.
Her mouth opens, as if she is contemplating words. She doesn't seem to find any and decides instead to press her open mouth to my throat once again. This time licking a strip from my collarbone up just behind my right ear.
I can't help the small whimper that escapes my lips. She hums in response.
She kisses me once more before she finally gives in and bites. Right at the junction of my shoulder, I moan from the sudden sting. I can feel the warm red dribbling down my chest. Caressing my breast and eventually finding itself stopping right above my navel.
My hands. Which up until this point have been obediently at my sides. Twitch to grab at my assailant's waist.
There they met bare skin, I had known she was naked. But feeling it was entirely different.
More still. She doesn't stop me when I grow bolder and wrap around her middle.
She lets go of my chin and her hand moves lower. Tracing the errant blood drop with a sharp nail.
Just as the world begins to blur at the edges she stops. Pulling away with a small sound of approval. She licks away the excess blood and kisses the wound one last time.
"Sometimes you make it easy to forget what the sunrise felt like." She says to me in a low voice. A rumble in her throat that sends shivers down my spine.
My arms still wrapped around her in a loose embrace. I pull myself closer and my head lies to rest on her shoulder. She brushes my hair from my face once again and kisses the top of my head briefly.
She picks me up easily. A small taste of the supernatural strength hidden beneath her soft curves.
After laying me down in her grand king size bed, I start to drift off.
"Ah ah ah…" She smiles "not yet darling. I'm just getting started."
I fight the temptation to sleep, slowly becoming more and more alert the lower her hands wander.
Finally they settle on my hips. She straddles my thighs with hers. Her fingertips dancing over the most sensitive areas of my stomach. Then lower.
She leans down to whisper in my ear. "Are you alright dearest?"
I nod weakly.
"I asked if you were alright." She reiterates.
"Yes Alleah." I come to my senses and respond.
She smiles and continues.
"Are you still interested in tonight's outcome?"
The outcome… We had discussed it before. Numerous times. An exhausting amount honestly.
Still she continued to ask, to check in.
"Of course." I say quietly.
Tonight was only the natural culmination of this relationship.
I turn the gilded ring on my finger. A constant physical reminder of the commitment we have made to each other.
Soon to gain another reminder, I nod once again.
"Please, Alleah. Keep going."
If we stop now she will lose her nerve.
She continues caressing my thighs and hips, Growing increasingly impatient and anxious. I wiggle a little in encouragement. She drags a sharp nail along my inner thigh.
A shockwave of pleasure ripples up my spine.
"A-Alleah." I scold. She is still teasing.
She manages a laugh.
"I apologize. I am anxious."
By the time she finally reaches the point she was attempting, she has stopped. I wait, doing my best to be patient.
Patience is a virtue, after all. One I rarely practice.
When she kisses my thigh, it has been just long enough that it is a surprise.
My body jerks involuntarily, a moan of absolute pleasure rips its way out of my throat immediately after.
“Now, darling” there is a bit of a wobble to her voice. “Are you certain?” she says now leaning over my chest, pushing her nose under my chin, pressing a soft kiss on my collar bone.
My hands move from where they had been gripping the sheets by my side to instead take hold of the backs of Alleahs thighs.
“Of course. My love”
It isn't until she leans down to kiss me that I realize she's crying.
She takes my mouth before I can ask her what the matter is. I resign myself to wiping the tears from her face and reciprocating the kiss.
Closing my eyes, I realize, I know why she is crying.
She pulls back to look in my eyes.
“My love.” I say, attempting to comfort her. “There is no need to cry. I will always be here for you.”
“I know.” she chokes out.
“It's not a tragedy.”
“I… I know.”
“I know you'll take care of me. I trust you.”
“I know.” her voice is growing near a whisper.
“I love you.”
“I love you too.”
She moves back down my body, scattering kisses across my abdomen and thighs. She slowly spreads my legs again. This time when she leans down. She presses a chaste kiss to my pulse point.
Then she bites me again. This time pulling directly from my femoral artery. Pain shoots up my spine and it takes everything I have to keep from shouting. And kicking. And screaming.
I can feel the wetness of more tears against my thigh. I try to call out to her, to comfort her, but the room is already fading.
The last thing I feel is sharp pin pricks of her nails against my knee. And then, nothing.
When I wake. Early morning sunlight is pouring in through the windows. Alleah is nowhere to be seen.
It takes a few moments to adjust to the sights and sounds of the room. My eyes prickle at the light, and my ears twitch at the birds outside the window.
“Alleah!” i call out. Struggling to sit up, I take notice of the great and abundant hunger pains that plague me.
“Alleah!” I tumble out of bed and wrestle with a silk robe hanging on the bathroom door. Eventually getting it on and throwing the door open.
“Alleah!” I do my best to quickly make my way downstairs. Though I have to stop once or twice to catch my balance.
“Alleah!” i call out one more time.
“Noel!” I hear from the distant observatory. Followed by hurried footsteps. A mixture of my own and hers.
We meet in one of the long corridors lining Alleahs house.
“You're okay…” Alleah looks me up and down. Frantically searching for injury or blood or something.
“You didn't wake up.” she sobs. Pulling me in close and burying her head in my chest.
“You didn't wake up when you were supposed to.” she continues to cry. “I thought it didn't work. I thought I killed you.”
“I'm here.” I say with confidence, despite my breaking voice. “I'm here.” just now feeling the fangs scraping against my tongue.
“You're here.” she shakes her head.
I'm here…

he knows that well enough. eventually he’ll be dust and dirt just like everyone else. maybe centuries down the line, however many years he had left. he wasn’t sure. he knew that the Power elongated ones life and Rand wasn’t sure if he looked forward to that or not. there were too many things that weighed on him still, too many burdens that refused to give him some peace. Tarmon Gai’don was over and yet he still felt like he was on a battlefield, he still felt like he’d had an entire war rushing over him, flooding through him.
he stares at the man before him. the man that had survived the rubble of Shayol Ghul. was he a man? he wondered still. they sat, not far from the aftermath of The Last Battle. there was a small question at the back of his head of whether this was man or...or Creator. did he dare to ask that question? light, he could utter it and sound absolutely foolish and naive in doing so. they had been talking. Rand had mentioned that he wanted to leave but glancing back at the battlefield down below and seeing all the people made him regret it.
how long did he have? how old was this being and was he coming with him? turning his gaze to - man? being? Creator? - and gave a reluctant and agreeing nod. “you’re right. so there’s no point to regret any of this.” he told himself that he deserved this but did - he swallowed down his misgivings. his hand absently found the mane of his horse, fingers brushing through the coarse hair and then cleared his throat.
“are you coming with me?” he questions. “to make more interesting stories for the dirt?” he smiles and it feels misplaced after all the torment, the dread, the exhaustion of everything that had happened. he wanted to ask him about his identity, his true identity but meeting someone after Tarmon Gai’don as the Dragon who had saved the world only to utter such a simplistic question as that - he didn’t think that he could.
