The black mind sneered. Blood. The future had revealed to her blood. Those words were vague—perhaps she did not understand, but he did not expect her to. Even if she could understand, would it matter? She could do nothing of it. Ambiguity. Ambiguity was not the future—the future was not yet written. The future could not be written. There was only the present and the past. Causality. There was no Fate or Destiny, no written future, no certainty. There was only cause and effect, and such things existed in the presence. Only through that understanding could one foresee the consequences, the ‘future’. And yet, these creatures continued to require a higher entity to guide them. Of course, the brute himself was at the mercy of that god of darkness, but it was silent, dormant. He alone made the reason in his sinister life.The brute’s maw pressed up against the quiet pulsing string that ran along that neck, his teeth brushing against it, pressing against her skin, but not yet breaking it. It was as if he were listening for something specific, feeling for it.
There. His jaws parted, and those teeth flicked along her neck. He cut a short, shallow gash, a clean gash deftly made with those sharp, practiced teeth. The blood spilled quietly from that place, falling upon that waiting tongue. Those black jaws held her neck with surprising gentleness, his tongue pressing into the wound that he had made. He pressed it into the wound, allowing the blood to pulse more freely into his awaiting throat. Hands with an iron grip held her there securely, and for a long moment, he simply tasted her. Then his jaws withdrew and with it his tongue. The black eyes watched the place behind her, the pool and the darkness of the night. The shadows pulled back, touching his form with tentative fingers. The Korean’s hands released her, unceremoniously pushing her from him. “You don’t want it enough,” that insidious tenor simply said, that emotionless façade unmoved.
