The Vampire King

Previously...

Rain wanted to back away, but her feet did not cooperate. For the first time in her life, she was afraid...of her own big brother.

River smirked. He could sense his little sister's fear of him. He walked over to her.

"No, River," she said. "Stay away from me!"

"Come now, little sister," he said in that voice. "You cannot be afraid of me, your big brother, now. Or are you?"

Rain was silent. He smiled, then held out his hand.

"Come to me, Rain."

*******************

"Come to me, my sister."

With that, River held out his hand.

Rain felt herself take a few steps forwards. She tried to reason with herself that this was crazy. Her brother was dead. Then why was he standing there?

She didn't know.

Then it happened.

He walked forward and pulled her by the hand to his tomb, tossed her onto the cobblestone floor, then went to the door and used his dark powers to lock it. Then he turned to her, and she sucked in her breath as he smirked, walked over to her, picked her up bridal style and deposited her on the canopy bed, with red silk hangings, black silk sheets and a red pillow.

She didn't realize how handsome he was -- the girls fawning all over him -- until now, of course.
He stood over her, still smirking down at her.
Neither moved for a moment. And then suddenly she was pulled under him, his rough fingers holding her chin and his hot breath against her skin.

"I'm a Phoenix! This mustn't happen!" she thought desperately.

But it did.

After making his clothes disappear, River then pressed against her opening and her breath hitched in her chest waiting for the plunge. Without warning, he drove deeply inside her. Rain screamed at the sudden pain, her shriek echoing in the tomb, but he didn’t stop. Soon the pain turned to pleasure as he thrust inside of her again and again, her cries dying down to soft whimpering moans. River pressed his lips against hers and soon dominated her mouth with his tongue. He tasted so bitter, bitter like the darkness that had poisoned him so....

The drugs...the Viper Room...

She remembered it all.

After a short while, his movements became quicker. He stopped kissing her and moved his mouth towards her ear. “Finally, I have you,” he hissed. “I have you right where I want you. My dear little sister...you are mine forever."

He made sure to puncuate every word, to see that she knew just exactly where she stood. And then his lips were on hers. His kiss was rough, bruising and dominate, and he felt her tears against his own cheeks. He pulled away sharply, admiring the redness of her eyes and the bruising already showing on her swollen lips.

“You really are beautiful, my sister.” The look of confusion was evident on her pretty face. Her fingers lay on the bedsheets. He let out a harsh laugh. A laugh like that was so unlike him, even when he was alive....

“Now, stay with me."

Tears fell down Rain's cheeks, and River smiled at his little sister....
