Moonlit Meal [private, Kururai]

The clouds drifted across the dark sky as someone walked through the grass below. The endless plains of grass, decorated by a clump of flowers every here and there, it seemed to spread out far and wide only to be surrounded by rows of trees. Through this grass walked what appeared to be a girl, roughly high school age. She was wearing a brightly colored tee shirt along with a dark blue miniskirt. Her chest seemed fairly flat for her age, but her hair was definitely that of a girls. Long hair that flowed down the whole of her back, as the moon light shone down on her the strange colors of her hair became evident. Split across her skull, creating a line about half way to the right of the center of her head, her hair was two vibrant colors. Whether natural or not, it certainly was odd, pink hair on the right and blonde hair on the left. Her eyes were a captivating green color, and overall she had this look of beauty to her. In her right hand she held a large circular lollipop, holding it close to her mouth so that her tongue could flick out occasionally to take a lick of the sugary goodness.

Her walk took her over towards a bench which lay next to a bed of flowers. Sitting down upon it she relaxed, looking up at the sky. The moonlight shone down upon her, and a fanged smile broke over her face. Letting out a slow, soft sigh, she opened her mouth, speaking softly to nobody in particular.

“The moon is awfully bright today, isn’t it? Makes you… want to sink your teeth in to a blood meal, doesn’t it?”

A giggle escaped her lips, growing higher and becoming a cackling sound, one that reverberated throughout the park. Now all she needed to do was wait for her prey to appear before her. Then she would feast, feast like there was no tomorrow.

A female being, roughly the same age, in appearance at least, to the dark skirted cackler several meters parallel from her emerged from the shadows rather suddenly, puffing in light moderation.

"Ahh.., still not used to these bodies."

The words flowed smoothly from her pink, plump lips. Her face glowed in the moonlight, a soft beige colour. This woman donned a pair of dark black sweapants with a red t-shirt combined, making her paled white hair standout.
As she slowly began to adapt a normal breathing patter, she noticed the girl across from her.

"Ah, and you are?"

It was noticeable that simply speaking those 4 syllables expended her energy more than an average person.

The woman with white follicles stared momentarily, taking in the information from the bi-coloured hair girl in front of her.

"intersting... really interesting..".

As she talked to herself, she noticed a slight difference in facial muscles; specifically the muscular area surrounding the mandibles.

"ah.. I see.. "

Thalia looked over, grinning as she saw the white haired girl who was speaking to her. Things were going well; a potential meal had already walked over to her. She giggled, wondering whether the girl would run pointlessly or attempt to fight her. If she did end up fighting her, would she even be strong enough to put up a battle against Thomas? Well, those questions would be answered soon. Standing up, she turned to face the girl, licking the candy one last time before lowering it. Walking towards her, Thalia’s shadow started to act in an abnormal way. It stretched, forming in to several long, thin black lines which shot off in many directions. Most of them ran across the ground towards various nearby objects, but one of them was stretching towards the white haired girl’s shadow. Her mouth opened as she began to talk, her small fangs glinting in the moonlight.

“Welcome my prey, you smell delicious. I hope you taste just as good as you smell.”

With that said, had her shadow managed to connect to the girl’s shadow, things would get even stranger. Tentacles would rise from the white haired girl’s shadow, wrapping around her legs. Holding her in place, they looked like a part of a shadow, but they were also definitely three dimensional in nature. Then, from the girl’s shadow came hands, black as can be hands stretching up and clamping upon her shoulders as they attempted to force her to the ground. Looking at the girl, Thalia smiled and started speaking in a soft voice towards her.

“You asked what my name is, didn’t you? My name is Thalia, though that fact is irrelevant. So, who should I notify about your death? Technically I’m not supposed to drink from random people here, but you smell oh so yummy, oh I can’t wait, so swweeeettt…”

A bit of drool hung from the corner of her mouth, and she quickly wiped it away. Hopefully nobody at the school would get mad at her. They knew of her condition, it was their own fault for forcing her to stay here through at least one school year. She hadn’t wanted it, but that didn’t matter, she had been forced in to it. Well, what was important right now was this girl’s blood, not the school anyway, she would indulge herself this time.

Sakusei paused, but only for a moment, taking a small amount of time to analyze the situation.

"I don't think she knows who I am, so why not play along?"

Noticing the strange movements the shadow produced form the corner of her eye, she felt compelled to smirk, but forced herself to keep a curious face.

"Prey? What are you talking about?"

The girl backed away, seemingly instinctual. As she pretended to step back out of pure fear, she was meticulously aware of the stretched out shadow extending towards her own.

Despite backing away, she felt that it wasn't possible to simply avoid the shadow without running away, and so she let it come. Sakusei felt odd around her legs, slowly spirally upwards. Looking down at them, she made an expression of confusion and fear; a part of the face she wore was acting, but it was genuine as well.

"Wha, what is this?!"

Attempting to shake her legs with the average strength of a girl at the same age as herself, or at least, appearance wise, she expressed a horrified look.

" Wait, prey? What are you going to do to me?!"

Shaking her legs more aggressively this time, yet still limiting the strength she applied, Sakusei couldn't help but feel interested in what was soon to happen.

As the hands originating from her own shadow rose, the white-haired woman began to tense her muscles, preparing for the worst. Feeling the charcoal grip around her shoulders, succumbing to the force and landing on her own palms and knees, she quickly attempted to force tears out of her eyes, succeeding with relatively fast speed.

"ple... *sniff* please do-*sniff*don't hu-urt mee..."

As she spoke those broken words, she quickly analyzed the situation, taking in the words that Thalia had softly spoken.

Facing down, she gazed upon the black stream that extended from Thalia's shadow.

"Wait. The black stream from her shadow. It extended towards my own shadow, not just me. Even when I attempted to out maneuver it... huh.. interesting.."

As these thoughts crossed her mind, Sakusei promptly tried to remember any other minor details that could give her clues to the capabilities of 'Thalia', while still focusing her senses on the outside world, careful not to miss any instances that may be essential to the assessed situation.

Thalia walked closer to the girl, getting right next to her before crouching down to become eye level with her. Bringing her left hand forward, she pinched it on to the girl’s cheeks, smiling lustfully at her.

“Oh, don’t worry little one, I don’t intend to kill you. No, you smell far too lovely to drain on my first go. I’ll let you heal up, and then I’ll hunt you down again and devour your blood again.”

With that said, Thalia leaned forward, placing a light kiss on the girl’s lips. Then, she circled around her, slipping her arms around from behind her in a loose hug. Leaning over, she whispered in the girl’s ear.

“Oh, and we’ll have so much fun later with your body, shall we?”

With that she would open her mouth, letting her fangs lower towards the woman’s exposed neck, attempting to sink them in to her, a primal desire for blood, the desire to feed, overcoming her. As soon as her fangs had sunk in to the woman’s neck, her shadow retracted, freeing her legs and shoulders from the hold it had put on her. Slurping at the girl’s blood, she would make sure not to take too much, the girl must survive this time. If she had managed to escape, Thalia would stand up, glaring at her.

“Well, guess we’ll do this the hard way, shall we? What’s your name, girl?”

Flinching violently as Thalia had kissed her, and even more so when she sank her teeth into her neck, Sakusei wore a teary, distraught face filled with confusion and fear. As Thalia stood up, glaring and asking of her name, Sakusei smiled on the inside, sure to not reveal so physically, and had been focusing more on the fact that the shadow had returned to Thalia.

"Well this is interesting. Might as well continue to play along; I don't think simply revealing everything would be the best step to take currently anyways."

As the girl with pale hair had thought this, she quickly jolted up, taking a step towards the bloodthirsty young woman in front of her. Lifting up her hands, Sakusei used her arms to 'push' away Thalia, but a few centimeters before actual contact, Sakusei mouthed the word "Shō", speaking it with a voice even Sakusei herself couldn't hear. If it was to work, as Thalia would be forced back from the kinetic energy essentially thrown at her, Sakusei would run away in the opposite direction, fleeing at a speed a human running on only pure adrenaline could. Eventually getting behind a tree nearby enough to have been reached before Thalia could regain her composure from the previously used Kidō, Sakusei quickly whispered just as quietly as she had done earlier, saying "Kyakko", thus hiding herself from sight. Since it had been dark in the first place, the spell wasn't quite as effective as it could have been, but regardless, it worked. Sakusei then proceeded to focus on minimizing the already low spiritual pressure output she had possessed, promptly bringing it down to nearly the level of simply a spiritually aware human.

Lapping at the blood left on her lips, Thalia shrugged at the disappearance of the young woman she had taken a drink from. Somehow a force had erupted from the woman’s fingers, forcing Thalia away from her. It didn’t matter though, as she had already taken enough blood from her already. Shrugging, she turned around, and with a burst of shadows, she was gone.



((OOC: Alright, sorry for the wait. I'm just going to end the thread here as I am having no muse for this character recently, as well as being unable to get in contact with you about the issues with your post. It's fine, it was probably just a misunderstanding, but at least this way you're character is freed up to use in another thread. I'm really sorry about this...))
