DENN DIE TOTEN REITEN SCHNELL

@everbleeding

It could not be a stranger picture, the colorful Butterflies seated opposite their…darker guests. The air in the dining room was tense, thick with history and prejudice. Moon herself contributed to a lot of it. Silence kept still, with nothing but the sounds of eating to cut through it.

❛ Would you care for more corn, Count?❜ Moon offered through gritted teeth. Just because she hated monsters did not mean she had no manners. Moon was a queen and she would act as such. But grudgingly.

even through thick layers of distrusts, the count of Transylvania, an honored king of vampires, remained thoughtful && elegant. he only even painted a smile on his face      but perhaps too big. his teeth always gave away a monstrous notion. but nevertheless, he sat calmly with hands on opposite sides with his plate, side by side with a young one who was obviously his kin. but the others remained different    representing enchanted animals; humanized && sentient servents. dracula couldn’t just show up with only two people. 

   “ ah ! lady moon, i am...... quite fine rather. i have never seen such an abundance of corn. i was not expecting so much of it... i am not a big corn eater, if i do say so myself. ’ he let out a quiet breath, knowing this was all too tense to be going well. oh , it was so easy to tell she was not pleased with this meeting. && his son remained there without even bothering to touch the food on his plate, silently fiddling with his fingers.

he only ever stared down before turning his head to his dad, speaking in the most hush volume. it was clear he was attempting to whisper secretly. “ father.... when will we be going home? please... i’d like to go home....’ dracula took that moment to pause && return the favor, quickly reminding leviticus that it was rude, && to always remain polite && keep his head up. he turned back, this time clasping his hands && showing off fangs once more.

        ✂   ❛  th-thanks ! !  i - uh ,  REALLY appreciate the kind gesture and all but - yeeeeah ,  y’know it’s  …  really late and i’m  …  tired . ❜  cue a very fake and forced yawn .  ❛  - but yeah  …  i’ll be fine on the way back home ,  so it’s no issue ! !  ❜

cue him giving a chuckle, && almost letting tension drop. he was still TERRIFYING regardless.

“ AHA !! please, i INSIST ! you sound utterly exhausted ! besides.... nightfall is quite dangerous for humans. you could try to find your way back home by foot, but im afraid monsters might rip you into teeny, tiny pieces. at least, i hope not. i have tried my best to bring peace among this world. ’

starter for @everbleeding // Leviticus strawberry

Well i was a weird experience, like stepping off a cliff but landing safely in another room. Robuddy couldn’t feel the vertigo but its sudden response kicked in and the robot fell onto it’s front attempting to stay standing with a loud clang and cluttering. Spinning the spherical head around perfectly 180 degrees the head looked forward to find a pale, and frightened, looking boy.

“… Hello. How did I get here.” 

for once, his fathers old study room was comforting. leviticus had spent the day cleaning it up, dusting the cob webs && rearranging the shelves of books in alphabetical order. there were a few times he got lost in looking through pages, && let time pass him by. 

by the end of his cleaning session, he grew proud      nobody ever used this room anymore, && it was the perfect place for him to study his magic ! in fact, there had already been a few spells in mind he wanted to try out ( his father was still unaware of his studies, of course. ) 

leviticus had practically charmed himself, falling in love with a grimoire’s writings && symbols     he had everything laid out onto the floor carefully, all neatly placed markings && sigils. but during his spell, something had happened, && the next thing the prince heard was a loud CLANK. it startled him, && in the blink of an eye the vampire was staring at some oddly colored metal. did it just talk ?

“ wha... what ? ’

his mouth was wide open, rubbing his eyes a few times. he couldn’t believe what he was seeing ! leviticus was so in awe by robuddy, he didn’t even notice what he was asked.

The world looked lonely, grim. Those were the words that came to the young Nobody’s mind as he walked through what looked to be a mixture of a garden and a graveyard. He’d paused at one headstone, gloved fingers tracing the name there. He didn’t understand the need for them, what with his only knowledge of death being that Nobody’s just simply… ceased to exist. There was no corpse left to mourn, no strand of hair left to clutch to. Everything just vanished.

To just… be gone like that, it was a thought that frightened the child. Which further went on to confuse him, because he knew his chest shouldn’t constrict at the thought of fading away - he should feel indifferent to it.

Sighing, Roxas pushed himself back up to fully stand up, continuing to carefully walk through the garden. The Nobody stopped a second time at a bed of roses a color he’d never seen. Carefully, a gloved hand reached out, cupping the flower and turning it towards him to inspect it before he felt a presence above him half a second before a voice spoke. The small boy jumped in his surprise and snapped the rose from its stem, whipping around to stare at the stranger. Roxas pressed himself as far back as he could go, the flower forgotten on the ground by his feet while is mind frantically tried to figure out how to summon his keyblade in the confined area.

His skin broke out in goosebumps under the stranger’s red gaze, and the Nobody’s eyes flashed to the side, trying to plot an escape. He just needed a moment to dodge away and rush through a dark corridor before this stranger could follow him.

“I’m sorry, I got lost.” The teen squeaked out, wide eyes staring upwards with the slightest hint of fear in them.

it was a mere accident    to surprise him to the point of shivers. although what could he do ? it wasn’t his fault he was so tall && dark compared to the nobody, && drac almost felt bad for stirring him like that. he peered, smiling with his arms behind his back && continued to lean over him. dracula thanked himself yet again for finding the boy so quickly     noting his dark attire && wide eyes, along with his hair && his voice that shook when speaking. it was strange, the vampire thought. a usual, pulsing in his ears was missing. the boys heart     perhaps it was quiet ?

the boy seemed harmless enough, && after gazing at him for moments more, he let his eyes wander to the flower that rested on the ground. the count hesitated, finally letting his tension ease && taking a step back, all just to lean over && scoop the flower into his hands. he seemed gentle && careful enough, bringing it up to his nose to smell.

   “ oh, do not fret. i am not here to harm. if anything, i’m glad that somebody is enjoying the garden. i was only worried about who. ’

the silence still made him a bit uneasy. a heart..... where was his heart ? he seemed human enough. drac stood up straight, holding the flower by the stem && presented it to the other in a graceful manner .
