The Monster and the Maiden: Ch. 01, Part II

January 21st, 2008

Taken aback by Rafe's response, these certainly were not the first words he had expected his friend to utter after his revelation, Edmond could only say, "What?"

Turning to face Edmond, Rafe said, "I thought you'd have fangs. To, you know, drink blood?" He shrugged as if he suddenly realized his question might have been rude, but then Rafe had never been one to let social niceties stand in his way of what he wanted to know.

Edmond allowed a little relief to seep into his being at Rafe's seeming nonchalance. "I file them between feedings."

His friend winced, running his tongue across his own straight, white teeth. "Does it hurt?"

"Oui."

"Then…why?"

"It helps me to blend in and to feel more human. They grow back in by the time I need to feed."

"Too bad they aren't retractable. Save you the trouble," Rafe said with his smart-ass grin that Edmond remembered so well.

"That would have been nice."

"So," said Rafe as he sauntered over to the overstuffed loveseat and plopped his weight onto it. "What are you going to do now that I've found you? Run away again?"

Edmond glared at his friend as he took a seat on the sofa. "I am not going back to France if that is what you are asking."

"Why not? Master Bladestorm could help you. He's been trying to this past year but there is only so much he can do with you not there."

Edmond considered telling Rafe about his plan for vengeance against his former master if he could not find a counter-curse to his affliction, but then decided against it. Rafe was still very loyal to Koryll. Instead he said, "I do not trust Koryll anymore."

Rafe raised his brow at Edmond's breech in calling their master by his first name.

"He is no longer my master. I want nothing more to do with him. I would rather find the counter-curse myself instead of trusting what is left of my life to a man who sees magic as something to be experimented with and we just his willing guinea pigs."

    Fantastic. Superb. Awesome.

    What Jade said! Edmond's got a bad boy side hidden away there …. ;)*tips bucket of ice over her head* I can't wait to find out more regarding Master Bladestorm – is he really bad as Edmond thinks, or does he want to help as Rafe says? And is it just me, or is there a similarity in looks between Rafe and Alec?

    Edmond's description of feeding is arousing. Well-written, I can't wait for more!

    I can only follow Jade's and Tanya's leads. This was fantastic, superb, awesome and more. Utterly brilliant, basically. 😉
    There's something about Rafe that does indeed seem similar to Alec, and in a way Edmond reminds me of Tahlvin. But I am probably completely wrong and just making too many assumptions (as usual).
    I wonder how the dinner will go? I hope Edmond won't get the sudden "need to feed" while they're out!

    *fans self* Oh my… Well…! This is certainly a lovely episode to wake up to! I read the first page and couldn't stop blushing afterward. I won't lie. I read that page at least twice. LOL!

    Can't wait for the next part! ^_^

    Thank you so much, girls! It's always nerve-racking to post a new story so I'm glad you're liking it so far.

    Tanya, we won't be seeing Master Bladestorm in the flesh for awhile yet; however, I'll be giving some more clues as to who he is in the next few chapters. As for Rafe, now that you mention it, he and Alec do look a bit like they could be brothers. But, that's entirely coincidental although it does give me an idea. Maybe Rafe is his… Ack…I better shut up now. 😉

    Lisa, I had a lot of fun writing the part about Edmond's feeding. I definitely want there to be something sensual and almost sexual about the experience.

    Amalinaball, as with Rafe, any physical resemblance to other characters is coincidental. As for their similarity in personalities, well I'll let you make that decision once you get to know the characters a little better.

    The dinner: I'm not covering it in the story, but I can tell you that Edmond behaved himself. You really only have to worry about Edmond when his fangs grow back in. *cue ominous music* 😉

    Instead, Rafe and he spent a nice night catching up with each other. Rafe even steered clear of talking about Master Bladestorm (at least after the first time he brought him up. It didn't go over well with Edmond).

    Alimah, I was blushing and giggling when I wrote it! I have a feeling I'm going to be doing that a lot in this story.

    wow, that was awesome! Kara you are soo talented:)

    oh, forgot to ask…lol…that wooden looking ceiling in the beginning of the chapter??? been looking for ages for something like that…..thanks again for the wonderful update Kara:D

  9. Kara says:
    January 21st, 2008 at 10:01 am

    Hi, Jenny, and thank you very much! 🙂

    The ceiling is part of Dektora's Malkavian mansion ceiling tiles recolors. You can find it at MTS2. The whole set is awesome.

    "The ecstasy that flooded through him, causing his skin to tingle and his hardened arousal to press almost painfully against the zipper of his pants, as his victim moaned in blissful abandonment in his arms."

    Best sentence ever! I'm not just saying that because it's sexual (well, maybe a little) but your descriptive prose is excellent and provokes very strong imagery. I wish I could write like that! Thanks for the timely installment. I'll be looking forward to reading these chapters.

  11. Tanya says:
    January 21st, 2008 at 2:27 pm

    Argh, you've got me wondering where you were going with the Rafe and Alec train of thought now 😀 There's definitely something special about writing feeding scenes. And reading them a few dozen times …..

    *zips mouth before revealing more "interesting" feeding thoughts*

  12. Kara says:
    January 21st, 2008 at 8:02 pm

    Aw! Thank you, Decorgal! I really try to work on my descriptive imagery when I write. It's actually kind of hard for me, but I do like how it stimulates the imagination. …No pun intended. 😉

    And, Tanya, I loved your feeding scene in your story too. I agree with you, they are a blast to write. And definitely provide some interesting food for thought. heehee

    Edmond is not so unemotional and detached as he would obviously like to appear, and Rafe is all squishy inside too. Such beautiful descriptive language, I was eating it up (so to speak).

  14. Mao says:
    January 23rd, 2008 at 6:31 am

    Wow, how did I miss this? Very cool. Your images and characters with this remind me a bit of anime–I think it just might be the rugged looks with long hair. Or maybe I'm just regressing back to lost days, haha.

    Edmond's look, in particular, is all sorts of awesome. His expressions speak volumes. I love it!

  15. Kara says:
    January 23rd, 2008 at 9:24 am

    Goodbye_sun, I really had a lot of fun writing those two guys. I'm kind of sad that Rafe isn't going to be around again for several more chapters. But, I'm looking forward to introducing some new characters and Rafe will be back someday. 😉

    Thank you, Mao! It's funny that you mention anime as I had just finished watching the wonderful Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo right before I found the sim that would become Edmond and started writing his story. Not only did Edmond inherit the Count's name, but I actually chose his hairstyle because it reminded me of the Count's flowing locks. 🙂

    It's great to have a weekly updated story of yours. Now I can have my fix every mondays 😉
    I love the contrast between Edmond's angelic look and the description of his "monster condition" and the way it feels to feed of humanoids. BTW, as already said above, loved the way you turned that sentence. Very sexual and poetic at the same time.
    Now I am really intrigued about the rest of the story. Is it all planned out already? Do you know approximatly how many chapters there will be or are you still in the process of organising the plot?

    PS: thanks for the compliments on my ceiling tiles 🙂 It always make me happy to spot some of my CC in your stories.

  17. Kara says:
    January 24th, 2008 at 8:12 am

    Thank you, Dektora! I'm excited to be able to update once a week as well. It's really helped too that I have so many chapters written already. I don't know how many chapters it will be in total, but I do know exactly how it's going to end and what I want to happen between now and then. I'm really at the point where I just have to finish writing (and simming) it.

    And, your CC is perfect for this story! Edmond's house is full of it.

    Also, please let me know if I make any glaring mistakes with Edmond's French. I'm depending on my high school French lessons and high school was sooo long ago. I'm trying to use it sparingly so I don't embarrass myself too much. 😉

  18. Dektora says:
    January 24th, 2008 at 10:05 am

    So far so good! Feel free to e-mail me or pm me though if you have any french related questions, small or big. I'll be happy to help.

    And as I forgot to wish it to you in my first post, good luck with this new adventure 😀

    Wow, this just keeps getting better! You keep writing, I'll keep reading!

    Hello Kara.
    Ive been reading your stories since…erm…August 2007 (yes im sorry it took me this long to work up the courage to comment), and may I just say you are one of the story writers whos stories ive read. Seriously, you inspire me to write because your use of language is so…( cannot think of words to follow up sentence). And I am glad that ou are now updating every week because your work provides me with good entertainment throught reading, and not just any reading, reading involving pictures of my favourite game. So for that I thank you.

    I love this new story, and may i say IM IN LOVE WITH EDMOND! He's definately something. 😀 You work never ceases to amaze me!

  21. Kara says:
    January 27th, 2008 at 12:13 pm

    Well, I will definitely keep writing, Brenda so it's great to know that I'll have at least one reader around for the long haul. 😉

    And, Cadie, wow… I'm actually kind of speechless now and don't really know what to say other than "thank you so much"! You've really made me blush. I hope you continue to enjoy Edmond's story as well as Worlds Apart (whenever I get around to updating that…haha).

  22. Jenny says:

    I can't wait to see the maiden..whenever she will appear…..

  23. Anghard says:
    February 5th, 2008 at 11:16 pm

    Oh Goodness. I was almost in tears myself at the end there. I really feel for poor Edmond and I was very surprised at how calmly and rationally Rafe took it. I think he proved himself a truly valuable friend.

    You did a fantastic job on showing the conversation through the caps too, although with your writing, I have to say, I wouldn't have noticed if it had just been the writing. You painted the scene very well and I could picture it clearly.

    The images just enhance what you already have, a beautiful accompaniment to your story.

  24. Kara says:
    February 5th, 2008 at 11:29 pm

    I think Edmond severely underestimated Rafe. His friend is has experience with strange and horrible things after being the bodyguard of Koryll for a few years now. Rafe was more upset that Edmond didn't trust him enough. I'm glad they worked it out though. It's nice for Edmond to have such a loyal friend.

    And thank you very much for the compliment on my writing. 🙂 I've tried to write less descriptively since I have the pictures to take up that burden, but I can't really seem to be able to write any other way. haha

    It has been so long since I've read one of your stories, Kara. My head has been everywhere but here. This is a brilliant little gem.

  26. Beth says:
    March 23rd, 2008 at 12:52 pm

    I don't know how you could stop writing descriptively — kind of like a dog trying to turn into a cat. Which reminds me I adore the "retractable" line! Made me laugh out loud!

    Love the shot with the yellow candles on the table, which seem to throw a golden light on the room.

    Particularly appreciate the fact that your characters have such distinctive and complex personalities. Edmond reacts almost like a guy in his late teens or early 20's — Rafe, much older.

    Wonderful, again, as usual.
