May I Have This Dance?

Lillie ran her fingers through the red stands that rest on her shoulder, she smiled softly closing her eyes. She remembered back to the being, the first night she met Lex, it was at a masked ball at the girls house. Lex was dressed as little red riding hood, this made Lillie smirk a little.

Lex was huddled in the corner near the fruit punch, head leaning against the wall. Lillie was in a black pin suit with her lucky purple tie on. She wore a gray wolf mask over her face, she walked up to Lex sliding the mask up.

"Don't you want to dance?" Lex looked up smiling shaking her head lightly. "I never learned, funny huh? My dad has these every year and I've never touched the dance floor." Lillie offered her hand, "Well then, let's change that." She smirked with a wink as she pulled Lex up, her arm wrapping around the redheads waist. "I promise I'll be gentle", Lillie grinned watching the smaller girl trying not to blush.

Lex followed Lillie to the middle of the room, the older girl draped Lex's arms over her shoulders before wrapping her hands around the girls waist once more. Lillie shivered a little, she could feel Lex's breath on her neck as she pulled the younger girl into her. She then leaned down whispering into Lex's ear "Just follow my lead." Lex's arms wrapped a little tighter around Lillie's shoulders as the older girl pressed her body closer to Lex's as she started swaying her hips lightly back and forth.

The room seem to fade away, all Lillie could feel was the redheads heartbeat. She rested her head against Lex's shoulder, she smelled like lavender, the dark hair girl loved the way Lex's head fit perfectly against her shoulder. While her head rested on Lillie's shoulder the girl whispered "I've never seen you before." Lillie licked her lips, "I'm visiting family, I over heard there where to be a ball. So I had to come and see." Lex heartbeat started to race a little faster against Lillies chest, "I'm glad you did, my name is Lexis."

Lillie pulled away a little, taking one of Lex's hands, the woman pressed her lips softly on Lex's fingers. "Please to meet you Red, I'm Lillie." There eyes met, Lex traced Lillie's face with her eyes. Cheeks slightly red.

The door opened across the room making Lillie pull her eyes away from the redhead. There was Allistaire, grinning. Lillie froze, she looked back down at Lex. "I'd hate to leave you Red, but I must go now." Lex smiled softly a look of hurt flashed across her face then disappeared. "Okay, goodnight Lillie. Thank you for the dance." She leaned up kissing Lillie's cheek, then turned around, walking back into the crowd.

Lillie made her way over to her brother, he was clapping. "See your a natural. She will be easy." Lillie could still feel Lex's lips on her cheek and smell lavender on her skin. She half smiled "Yeah." He wrapped his arm around her shoulder pulling her close, "All you have to do is make her trust you, then kill her, got it?" She nodded, as he patted her back. "Good girl, C'mon dinners ready." There was blood dripping down the corner of his mouth as he smiled.

Something was different about this one, it was usually easy for her. She charmed a girl then when they trusted her enough, she kill them. It wasn't for a thrill or for sport. Lillie twisted a part of her shirt around her finger playing with it deep in thought.

She was cursed, she was something she wasn't proud of. Native Americans called them Rugaru. A human who can shape shift into a wolf. That's not the part that was shameful, it was the part where they only had taste for human flesh. Lillie looked up to the stars, black stands of hair falling away from her face. She watched the moon, she swore to herself a long time ago she'd never fall in love.

Allistaire says "Falling for a human is like playing with your food, you just end up eating it when it's no longer entertaining." None of the girls in her pack really drew her attention, she huffed, she's been there longer then any of them. Syria took her at age 23 back in 1485.

Her family was dying of the sweating sickness, she was the eldest child, there for she tend to her mother, father, and brother. She first hated Syria for stealing her life, but then Syria grew on her. Syria was now her family, her mother, best friend. Syria once told her "Be careful who you pick. For once you find your mate, your souls are bound, that is your mate for the rest of your existence."

Lille closed her eyes, breathing in the nights air. "Lilith what are you doing?" Asked a soft voice, she opened her eyes to meet red, "Trying to remember why I'm here." Syria chuckled sitting down next to Lillie, "Did Allistaire say something to upset you? Do I have to give him a lashing?" Lillie laughed lightly "No Dom, I'm just putting to much into nothing as per-usual." Syria raised her eyebrows "Ah, it's a girl." Lillies violet eyes met Syria's once more, "Possibly, but nothing ever comes of it." Syria sighed as she nodded then stood up turning to leave "Goodnight Lilith."

The next three weeks Lillie found a reason to be around Lex, they would go for walks, sit under the stars, Lillie showed Lex her secret hiding spot near the lake it was the best place to watch fireflies.

One night Lex invited Lillie over for dinner, Lillie actually cared what Lex thought of her. Century's of experience and the redhead made her nervous, this was new.

Lillie picked out some black roses from her garden, then made her way to Lex's. As Lille knocked on the door, roses behind her back the redhead swung it open. Lex smiled as she invited her in, Lillie presented the roses as the other girl went to hug her.

"Oh, wow. These are beautiful. What dose the black represent?" The redhead asked as she put them into a vase, taking one out smelling it as they sat down on the couch. "Well depends, some say eternal love, others say eternal life. The black rose has a longer lifespan then any other rose." Lillie smirked resting her arm across the couch. Lex scooted closer to the other girl, facing her, legs crossed.

"Well I'd say eternal love, sounds more romantic." She smiled at herself brushing the tip of a petal against her lower lip. Lillie gulped, watching the rose brush back and forth against the younger girls lip. "I'm not much of a cook but I thought I'd make some lasagna but that didn't work out as plan." Lex looked down. "So..I ordered some Chinese." She looked back up laughing scratching the back of her head.

Lillie smirked, Lex looked cute being awkward and nervous. The dark hair girl brushed Lex's hair behind her ear, "It doesn't bother me Red." Her eyes caught Lex's, they where beautiful. They where a light blue almost gray. Her eyes traveled down to the smaller girls lips. They were a soft pink, Lillie caught herself.

She realized she was leaning in closer to Lex, her eyes looked back up at Lex's blown pupils. Her hand reached up to Lex cheek "You have a piece of hair...on your cheek." She lightly brushed her finger down the redheads cheek then pulled away slowly.

Lexs cheeks where a bright red, "Oh, thank you." The air became thick, Lillie was about to say something when the doorbell ring. "There's the food.." The younger girl eyes flicked to Lillie's lips. "I'll be right back." Lex jumped up as fast as she could grabbing some money off the table before heading for the door.

Lillies heart was racing, she hated herself. She wanted to kiss Lex. But was it because she felt it, or was it just apart of the game she was bred to play. She really liked the girl and that alone scared her. She didn't want to hurt her. Lex came back with a huge brown bag, sodas tucked under her arm.

"So I didn't know what you liked so I got rice and sweet and sour chicken, everyone loves sweet and sour chicken." Lillie smiled helping the redhead set up, once settle Lex handed Lillie a root beer as there fingers brushed the older girl thought her heart would explode. "Ok so, what where you going to say?" Violet eyes met blue "Oh, it's nothing of importance. I was just going to say l will be gone the next two weeks. Heading up north with family. It's a thing we do every month for two weeks."

Lex slumped back, sipping on her soda. She then placed it in her lap as she stated to played with it, circling a finger around the edge. "Awesome, is it like a hunting trip?" Lillie nodded, "Yeah, you could say that." Lex didn't realize she cut her finger on her can till she looked down "Damn it, you think I'd learn the first one hundred times." She was holding her finger trying to find a napkin. "Let me see it, I'll kiss it better."

Lillie grabbed the girls finger pressing it against her mouth, kissing it. Then slid the tip of it into her mouth. She sucked on the redheads finger, the warmth of her tongue brushed across it. Then sucked on it once more. Her eyes staring at Lex. Slowly the older girl pulled her finger out, kissing the cut once more. "They say saliva stops the bleeding, it's a natural cure."

A sly smile broke off the woman's lips, "You okay, Red?" Lexs been staring at Lillie's lips for the last few seconds mouth slightly parted. Her eyes fluttered a few times "What?" The redhead could feel her face burning up, her breath was caught in her throat. She stutter a little, "Y-yep, I'm good. Very good. Thank y-you." She grabbed for a cigarette off the table, hand shaking. Lillie grabbed the lighter before the girl could. "Let me." Lex bent over as Lille lit her cigarette, the dark hair girl could see desire in Lex's eyes. "I should get going, it's getting late." Lex smiled sadly, "Yeah, of course. I'll see you later, right?" Lillie kissed Lex's cheek breathing her in before she got up to leave "I promise Red. I will see you again."
