Seven Devils || Valencia & Lucian [feat Eve] (closed)

"Take me down to the levy, take me down to the stream, take me down to the water. We're gonna wash our souls clean," Valencia sang to herself as she sauntered (yes, sauntered) down the street. She didn't have to be wearing a sexy dress or heels or any of that stuff to feel sexy. Valencia was well aware of the fact that she had a natural sex appeal, and that even in her jeans and leather jacket, she was just as sexy as a Victoria's Secret model.

She was on a mission, and with all of her extra senses, it wasn't all too difficult to accomplish. She'd sensed Luke as soon as she'd come to town, but she'd done her best to keep herself concealed from him until she was ready to see him. Something about Lucian Vranian put her slightly off kilter. And as Valencia was always in danger from vampires, it was never a good idea for her to be off kilter. She had to be ready to protect herself at all times.

This meant that getting both Brant and Nora to allow her to go to meet him alone was a task all in itself. Nora being the particularly difficult one. Brant was tough, sure. But he also trusted Val's judgement. Whereas Nora was sworn to always be at Val's side. But somehow or other, she'd convinced Nora that Luke would never hurt her and that she didn't need to worry. 

So, as she hummed her way up to Luke's front door, she could feel and almost see both of the vampires in the home finally becoming aware of her presence. But just as Eve had been about to rush the door, Val raised a hand and it swung open on it's own. Wind brushed Val's blonde curls back over her shoulders as she gazed into the dark eyes of a fanged-out Eve. "Oh, calm down," Val rolled her eyes to the brunette before stepping across the threshold and into the house, walking towards where she sensed Luke.

She stopped once he came into view and gazed evenly at him. It had been a few years since she'd seen this pair of vampires, and seeing Luke brought back all the strange sensations in her brain and her chest.

"Lucian," Eve purred near Valencia's ear, "Remind me why we don't eat this one?" Eve's green eyes turned to her Maker as she smiled a bit, fangs still bared, "I forget how hypnotizing she smells."

But You're My Devil || Valencia & Luke (closed)

There were few people in this world that Valencia could say she held a true fondness for. Most people she kept around her for a purpose, or for her amusement. She wasn't a cruel person at all; but she knew the meaning of having powerful people in your pocket, even if she refused to be a power in someone's pocket herself. Many had tried to make her one of their weapons. One of the only two that she hadn't nearly killed for doing so was one Luke Vranian.

Val had been roaming around town, simply getting to know the area when she'd spotted him. He'd already been gazing at her when her eyes met his. Whether he'd been long staring at her or if he'd just found her as well, she didn't know. That flirtatious (and slightly happy) smile came to her lips, making the small dimples on her cheeks appear. "Last place I expected to see a man like yourself," she said, knowing he could hear her even from clear across the area.

She started towards him, but within a moment, he was before her, and their blue eyes were locked. Val truly enjoyed this dance of power they played with each other. While Luke was normally one to be angry at anyone who didn't bow to his will, he seemed to enjoy the fact that there was someone like herself to be found. She didn't direct her power at him, though she'd warned him many times she would if he made advances that weren't wanted. But if she were honest, she'd probably give in.

Look at him, who wouldn't?

"Well, I was certain that this was going to be the most boring town I'd ever seen, but now that you're here, it just might be worth it to stay."

Devil May Cry || Natalie & Luke (closed)

I'll be fine. Spend some time out and about, relax a little. I'll call you when I'm headed back.

Collin's words rung around in her head as she stepped out of the apartment they'd leased. Shifting uncomfortably in her aqua blue dress, Natalie resolved herself to have a little fun. Civilian clothes weren't exactly her forte, but this one was a nice color that made her eyes stand out, and it's asymmetrical hem showed off her perfectly toned legs in the very best way. She couldn't help but think of Collin's face if he'd seen her all done up like this. After all, for years all they'd known of each other was military uniforms. They were still adjusting to this odd civilian-undercover-esque life they'd been told to lead.

The black heels she wore clicked against the stairs as she descended to the ground level and walked out of their apartment building. Rose gold earrings swung back and forth from her ears and mixed into her chocolate hair, which she'd worn down in effort to get used to being "normal". What she didn't know, however, was where the fuck one was supposed to go in this town to have fun.

Pursing her lips and glancing around, she decided her best bet was going towards the town square. She'd done research on this town, of course, and knew that it was spotted with restaurants and shopping. But the longer she walked along the sidewalk, the more the hairs on the back of her neck stood up. She wasn't alone anymore. As smoothly and easily as if she were simply searching for her phone, she rifled through the small purse she carried, pulling out her small pistol that was loaded with wooden bullets before turning on her heel and pointing it behind her.

And right into the face of Lucian Vranian.

The color drained out of Natalie's face. Not because she was afraid, more because a lot of memories were suddenly flooding back to her. Ones of him through that damn vampire mind link being able to know how aroused she'd been after having dreams of him. She still swore up and down that they were only because he'd made her drink his blood. He knew that was a lie.

"Oh, it's just you," she said, playing it off as much she could. Without stowing her weapon, she lowered her hand. While Luke had been on her radar for a long time, he'd never hurt her; but she knew he'd killed plenty of people with those hands of his. Those hands which she still longed to feel on her own body-

She cleared her throat.

"Had I known you were in town, I would have sent you an invitation to join Collin and I for dinner or something," she said, raising a hand and brushing her hair back from her face. Having to do that - where her hair was normally pulled back into a tight bun - she suddenly recalled what she was wearing. This would be the first time Luke had seen her out of a uniform (at least in the real world. The Luke from her dreams had seen her in much, much less). A blush suddenly touched her face and she longed for her uniform - or a long coat.

"Whatever could bring a big bad vampire like yourself to Oxford?" she asked, and then glanced behind him as if looking for something. "And where's your shadow?" she asked, obviously referencing Eve, who Natalie swore she'd never once seen Luke without.
