Darkness is Light

He smelled them. The familiar scent drew him like a bee to honey;melting away from the Queen while she consulted Marius. He has been a lurking shadow since then, out of sight, biding his time with the self-proclaimed promise of violence. He knew they were far from fond of each other, and now they are in disarray while the blood of Yeshua coats the stone floors in a macabre mosaic of Mystique's making.

Now, when their alliance hangs by the most precarious of threads, is when he strike; and he will take her out, the strongest first.

Teeth and claws, bone and flesh, reveal themselves in split-second anticipation of deadly impact.

"Dani...."

The pain in his wrist sears through him. He wants to give into it, wants to let her take him. You could be together again. No more fear. No more running. Strong...

Dani's head explodes around his hand, pieces of her brain and skull splattering his face. Okay. Maybe not so strong.

"Silver - toss me a stake!"

This time, part of Silver is screaming inside her head. A stake is thrown to Roberto as wants to be sick. She can't allow herself to be, she can't allow herself the lxury of it.

Dani's head may be gone, but her body is still as strong as as ever.

She slides a bloody hand over Roberto's. Her fingers clamp around his wedding ring, using it as a lever with which to snap his finger upward, breaking bone.

Roberto screams in pain. He misses Silver's throw and is left groping on the ground for the stake. His fingers close around the wood just as her hand closes around his ankle. Tightening. Pulling along the length of his body as she climbs up him.

Not his wife. Not his wife. Not his wife.

Dani is dead. He's just letting her body go.

When she pulls herself up to his chest, he stabs once, hard.

Pulling out another stake, Silver moves around. She wants to help Roberto make certain that he has her. Dani needs to rest.

A good thing, too.

Because Roberto missed.

She still has her mouth and one eye. She gazes straight at him as her teeth sink into his thigh.

As she's starting to drink, Silver drives in the stake.

"You need to die now, Dani." The statement is said quietly, almost placidly and to anyone who knows her at all would indicate that for all the calm fortitude Silver has been showing, something is distinctly not right inside.

She standing on the edge between complete detatchment and drowning in the emotion she's barely keeping at bay.

Dani's body goes rigid as the stake penetrates her heart. She shudders against Roberto, then collapses into a limp pile of powder.

Now is the time to be practical. He wants to get Dani's remains off him, but he knows from experience that vampire dust is very absorbant. He rubs it into his open wounds to help stop the bleeding.

"Thanks."

His eyes widen. Oh, no. Not her. He cocks a chin at the figure just entering the room. "Silver...It's the witch."

[silver-sable.livejournal.com]

Silver is shaking with the physical effort not to give some sort of reaction to having just killed Dani. Laugh, cry, scream - something. Clenching a fist, she punches the floor.

Roberto's words grab her attention and turn her head.

"Fuck."
