Blood Of The Lonely [Algos/Vanyel] - Page 2 6EdIfMt

One could say that liquor dulled a person's mind, yet others believe it brings out the truest essence of a person. In the case of Algos? Perhaps the latter could be said as her perceptive heart was sharp even in it's most twisted state. With Vanyel cupping her cheek, there was no other choice but for their eyes to meet. And since a person's eyes are a window into the soul, she could clearly tell the male craved the sisters embrace. Her heart as a woman told her that much.

"You feel safe in my arms despite the monster I am. Isn't that something?"

There was a foul chuckle that emitted from her mouth as the woman kissed the males forehead. It would be adorable if her heart wasn't in such a corrupted, shattered, and broken state. Still, the bloody gaze of the demonic princess could see reality quite for what it was. And it was both a blessing and a curse. Even as she refused to wholly accept it, the truth was impossible to suppress once the sane mind peaks behind the veil of what exists in this world. For this fact is why she tried to open herself despite the stubborn resistance of her own self-loathing, will, and toxicity wanting to keep this precious affection for herself and no one else.

"If you want a woman's heart, you have to tell what she is worth to you. Bonding on the emotional level, holding her in your arms, keeping her safe; a woman wants to feel protected, cherished, and cared for her with her man usually. If you can give her that, even if you are weak physically, the mental safety you can give her will be more than enough."

Drip, drip, drip. More of those bloody tears flowed as she remembered that sense of comfort from Neoveta's previous lovers. The embrace of Iriko's wisdom, the true sincerity of Belle's love, the unjudging acceptance of Calypso's affections; they were all just daggers that ripped apart her soul. Yet, even in all these events, it would be ignorant and downright criminal for her to ignore the knowledge which came from these mishaps. So, to not share them with someone so similar to herself and prone to falling down her path -- was wrong. And to do right for her beloved -- she had to do better. Even if it hurt so much.

A monster, feeling safe in the arms of another monster. It was some kind of horrid irony, wasn't it? His eyes closed as she leaned down, feeling her kiss his forehead. His eyes opened again, a smile slowly spreading across his lips as a voice echoed from the depths of his mind, quietly reverberating across the Seal of Eris and speaking to their dear sister -- the voice of The Phonoi.

Even a monster can have a heart, sister...

The voice went away as quickly as it came, and Vanyel's smile faded as he continued to gaze at Algos, silent as she told him what he needed to do. To tell Calypso what she meant to him, to hold her, cherish her, and simply to show that he cared for her and that he loved her. Even just thinking about it filled his heart with warmth and an ache unlike any other. Though, these emotions were quickly pushed down as he felt even more bloody tears stain his face, his thoughts echoing once more, this time, through the Seal of Eris.

'Thank you, sis, honestly.'

A hand once more reached up to touch and hold her cheek as a stream of tears slid down his own face -- yet another action that he didn't understand the reason behind. But, he made no attempt to hide it -- what would be the point? Vanyel wordlessly moved his free hand, squeezing her hand tightly. Despite everything that had happened, despite how much she had hurt Calypso, there was one thing that became very clear: She was still his sister. She deserved to be treated like one.

"I love you, sis...and I'm sorry."

Pfft. What? Was their intention to kill her with compliments? The woman's face briefly turned a faint shade of red as she wasn't sure how to otherwise handle being told she had a heart. She knew she had one, but it definitely wasn't the one they fondly thought of. To her? That thing was a monster that would never cease in its hunger. It was an endless, empty husk of raw passionate feeling that wanted to keep consuming this sensation of attention, affection, love, lust, and all things that were interpersonally close to fill that endless void of woe that Neoveta's shadow left.

Still...

'Are you buttering me up, sugar cup? It might be something mom would say, but aren't you just a sweet little s'ugah scamp.'

There was a foul chuckle that followed those telepathic words to the Phonoi as the brief influence of her mother's madness flowed into her ego. And how could it not? She was her daughter. Yet, even in spite of that, she was wholly her own person. So, after taking a moment to think, she followed up on that:

'Still, thank you, I guess. And you are welcome. I don't feel I deserve it, but you are free to love me as you wish.'

Bah. A woman's heart was a chaotic thing. Feeling the man caress her face, take her tears, and try to share his affections for her made Algos momentarily avert her gaze from him. It was too much for her flaring spirit to take as her face glowed a deep shade of crimson. This man should hate her for all that she did to him and his beloved, yet here he is in bed with her, holding her and feeling such sentiments of closeness to her. And from these actions, The Princess wasn't sure how to accept that, but it wasn't a bad thing.

"You really think you are the one who should be apologizing? Cute. I accept it, but I've done far more damage. I don't deserve it, boy."

After taking another swig of her drink with her free hand, Algos noticed his hand squeezing her other hand and a gentle laugh escaped her lips.

"But how could you not be attached to me? My power can absolve, devour, and eat pain, suffering, and grief. That is what I feast off of."

This human....

"Do you really feel that safe in demons? Does earth really feel that foreign? Bahaha, if you feel that safe, you may as well just live here."

Vanyel could feel a sense of happiness wash over him, a mix of emotion from himself at the Phonoi at the response from their sister, a sense of warmth from the affection of someone that they -- the Phonoi -- held so dear. The brief influx of their mother's madness was something that, if an inner spirit could smile, it certainly would have brought one to their face. They were definitely Eris's children. The voice of the Phonoi returned once more, the collective returning the telepathic message:

We love you, sister. That is all there is to it. You...mean a lot to us.

A smile came to his face as she turned away from him, seeing her cheeks flush red. Perhaps with the demonic influence in him from the Seal, but something about that warmed his heart. To see even the smallest breaks from the pits of pain and suffering that she had subjected herself to, something that only would only serve for Vanyel to give her hand a tighter squeeze as his other hand wiped the tracks of tears away from his own face.

As the hand returned to her cheek, the man let out a gentle laugh of his own as he then proceeded to echo what she had said not that long before:

"It isn't up to you whether you deserve it or not, sis."

Now, after seeing her in this state...he couldn't keep hating her. It wouldn't have been right, for himself or Calypso. They were too similar, and after indulging in and sharing in those emotions of loneliness and realizing all of this -- even if it took him some time to fully realize that, he understood that now. Once more, he shared in the gentle laughter. He could admit, her power over pain, sorrow, and loneliness was enticing, and it did partly serve to help attach to her.

But, the laughter subsided as she joked about him living there. It was true that he had been involved with demons even since some of the earliest moments of his life, and they had become so deeply a part of his life that now, he felt more safe and comfortable with them than his own kind. Perhaps it was also the demonic blood and bond that he shared with them through the Seal, but there was always some form of kinship in his life when it came to these creatures.

"Is...that possible? I could come and visit you, Calypso, or any other member of the family whenever you or I would like. With Shadow Fall removing a lot of forces from Earth after the war, and how I'm kinda involved in that...it would make sense, wouldn't it?"

His gaze briefly faltered from her as he paused, but he quickly turned to face her again.

"Or, at the very least, I can have a place to go if anythin' goes wrong, or just come and go as I please if that's ok too. I know it's weird for a human to be so involved with you guys, but you gave me a family...I don't want that to be taken away from me again."

...

What a little shit.

Using her own words and intentions against her while giving The Princess those eyes? This action caused Algos to emit a quiet, playful demonic growl as her face grew further flushed.

"Aren't you just so comfortable with me?"

That's all The Princess could utter out.

Even in spite of her flustered nature at the moment, the woman's spiritual wavelength still appreciated the affection if nothing else. After all: who would want those close to them to hate them? No one with the mark of Eris deserved to have scorn befall them. So, as the notion of redemption echoed in her mind, the woman exhaled a soft sigh. With these wonderful notions of potentially morphing her future in a positive entering the demoness's consciousness, it made her feel further relaxed in spite of the words she just said to Van. It is why she used him as a pillow, locked her legs with his, and closed her eyes as she listened to everything else that he uttered.

"I don't care. I'll give you your own place here in Demon World. I'm a Princess: I can do as I please."

Again, point blank and direct, the woman destroyed any further doubts of him having a home in their demonic realm. So, as her impulses started to run wild, the woman's fangs suddenly grew as she sought to bite his neck and extract his cool blood. By giving him this mark of her influential energy, he could gain the ability to otherwise morph into her palace, the Queen's palace, and his own small manor in the future. As with the sharing of intentions, Algos's mind shared with him the desire to have his own palace made in demon world for both himself, her, and Cali.

With this scarlet fluid dripping from her lips, the woman pulled herself back and looked down on Vanyel. After giving a simple nod of the head, the woman uttered these words:

"Welcome to the kigndom~"

Vanyel found himself chuckling softly at the playful growl and her flushed face. He truly was just this comfortable with her. How strange, to think that not long ago, he had absolutely despised her for the pain she made Calypso go through -- and, inadvertently, what he had gone through as well. Yet, now, here they were, holding one another.

As Algos locked her legs around him, holding him tight against her like a pillow, it was his turn to flush red, a light red covering his face as he quietly adjusted himself, letting Algos hold him and use him as a pillow, and allowing himself to rest against her body, sharing in that comfort, his eyes closing as well as he let out a quiet exhale. Even when Algos gave such a blunt and resolute acceptance of him having a place in their world, he found himself remaining still and silent.

He certainly wasn't expecting such an immediate and confident response to that, much less it being accepted, yet even in doing so brought relief to the human, and that feeling of warmth washed over him again. That feeling of having a family, and now even being able to stay in a place where they were -- something just felt nice about that, even if he hadn't done much with them in the past. Now, there was a sense of want for him to do more, to interact with this family.

A smile spread across his face, only to fade and for his eyes to suddenly open as Algos sunk her fangs into his neck, causing his face to turn an even deeper shade of red. The man shivered as the bite put him into further silence, leaving only shaky breaths and quiet gasps to come from the human as a wave of heat rushed over him.

As Algos removed her fangs and as small trails of blood began to slide down his neck, Vanyel found himself turning over and pressing himself into her body more, his body heating and tensing up from embarrassment and a mild hint of arousal as his legs tightly clenched together. His body scrunched up slightly as his words came through the Seal carrying his thoughts:

'Uh, s-sorry. Turns out my neck is a weak point of mine, I guess...'

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh -- what?

That was the first thought when Algos finished feasting on his flesh. Usually, people who get their skin gnawed on end up being afraid of her. However, in this case, it seemed Vanyel got a bit too giddy with his reaction to her marking. From the way the male positioned himself, it looked like there was a world of passion swirling on within the depths of his body. Such affectionate filled, lustful tainted and downright attractive pulsations of desire thumped hard within the male's heart, and the woman honestly wasn't sure how to address that as her head tilted.

"If I didn't know any better, I'd almost say you are more attached to me than Calypso."

Once more, Algos's words cut deep as she kept staring down at him. There wasn't disgust, anger, or any disdain seen in her expression. It was more of a perplexed look as to her he seemed to truly have a fondness for her. On the one hand, there was a part of her feminine instinct to seek temporary refuge with a night of sinful encounters; that is what the belly of her demonic impulses was nagging at in that moment. Yet -- she refused them. Algos would not betray her sister in that way. Such a devilish act would only break further hell into her life to the one she cherishes so much.

"I'm flattered, but I can't hurt my sister like that."

After sucking down the last bit of his blood from her lips, the woman gaze space to them both as her scarlet-stained legs curled up against her chest and she merely stared at him for a few seconds before coming to an answer.

"I am a lonely woman, so I do want to possess you myself right now to temporarily fill that void within myself, yet for her sake, I cannot do that."

With her eyes closed, the woman then chuckled to herself before reassuring him of something.

"I won't tell anyone about this mishap, however. Though, for now, I think you should leave before you do something you regret to me~"

Vanyel didn't think his face could go any further red. He found himself slowly moving away from her, giving them some space as he sat up, a hand raising to cover his flushed face, his eyes partly closed as he stared at the floor, feeling her eyes on him. Just from a damn bite to the neck, and his emotions surged. He sighed softly, lowering his hand as he looked at the demoness from the corner of his vision as his voice came in an embarrassed whisper:

"It's only because you bit my neck, damn it..."

Perhaps it was an effect of the Seal of Eris that caused his emotions and his heart to act in the way that they did. He knew that demons were creatures of intense emotion, Algos was a testament to that. He turned to look at her, seeing her holding her legs to her chest, and he could feel similar pulsations from her, tinged with loneliness and desire.

His head lowered for a moment as the man slowly got to his feet, sliding off her bed and sighing softly, taking one or two steps over to Algos, tilting her head up and kissing her forehead, before wrapping his arms around her and embracing her. He couldn't lie, it was tempting, but he knew that it wouldn't end well for either of them and would only bring more pain into their lives. So, letting Algos go, he tapped into this new ability that his Eris sister had given to him to create a cobalt vortex to return to his home on Earth.

"If you ever want me to visit or just need me, for whatever reason...let me know, alright, sis? I don't have a lot to do, so...I've got a lot of free time."

Even now, after using it yet again, it still felt somewhat strange to refer to her like that. Even if he wasn't technically part of the Asthavon Family -- at least yet -- he still shared some level of bond through the Seal of Eris, and after this encounter, there was certainly a different and mildly deeper bond that these two Children of Eris shared, thoughts that remained in Vanyel's mind as he stepped through the vortex to return home.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

She wasn't done with him just yet.

The woman had a lot of thoughts swirling through her mind, so her scarlet energies prevented the male from leaving so easily as their bloody pull acted as an anchor to keep him there in place. The Demon Princess wasn't acting maliciously or anything, as the deeper intent had been that there was an offer she still had on the table. If he wasn't going to do anything -- sinful -- she could stand to keep him around.

"I can tell. I know this might be selfish, but you can...sleep with me if you want. Not in a sexual way, just keeping each other company."

Algos uttered those words in a hushed manner as she tilted her head to the bed with her face still flustered. With the feeling of loneliness ushering into her tender being, the demoness didn't feel like sleeping alone tonight. There were many nights spent in isolation, and with the backdrop of heartache in her mind; the royal demon didn't care to be alone right now. So, instead of letting him go, she'd set the terms of their arrangement clear so that neither of them hurt Calypso.

"I just...really want to hold someone. It might be selfish, but I won't do any harm to you or her. I don't want to ruin what you have."

Just as he was about to step through, Algos stopped him. He turned around, letting the vortex dissipate as she gave him the option to sleep with her, to give her company and vice versa. His expression softened, and he shook off the scarlet energies that kept him in place, stepping back over to her bed and sliding his jacket off his shoulders, leaving him in jeans and a tank-top, setting it aside as he sat down next to her. His hand drifted over to hers, gently rubbing the back of her hand with his thumb.

"I get it. If I'm bein' honest...I don't wanna be alone tonight, either. Caly's been off, doin' her own thing, gettin' stronger and all that, and I've just kinda been...existing, I guess. Sure, I can handle bein' alone, but...just, would rather not, you know?"

Wait...shit, he really said more than he should have. Almost immediately after he stopped, he found himself rubbing the back of his neck.

"Sorry, ended up ramblin' there for a bit."

Regardless of his rambling, he had spoken the truth. After Calypso took him home from going to Minatumi, she had disappeared. Of course, he knew where she was thanks to the Seal and could always check in on her if he wanted, but, knowing where she was had been enough. She was off, getting stronger again, probably. Yet, here he was, just living and waiting, alone. Taking her hand in his, Vanyel tilted her head back up and gave her a small smile, a faint hint of red spreading across his face.

"It ain't selfish. Not to me, at least."

He chuckled lightly, his head lowering as he paused for a moment, before turning to look at her again, wrapping an arm around her waist and pulling her into another embrace, gently rubbing her back.

"Either way...I'll stay with you. You can hold me as much as you want."
