I awoke to lips actively kissing my face, the feeling filling me with joy though I didn't know what was happening. Without opening my eyes, listening to my surroundings, or even remembering where I was or why I was there, I kissed the face that kissed me. I moved my arms around the body against my flesh, pushing her breasts on me.

"Sin. Are you awake yet? This is the second time you kissed me, but you fell back to sleep the first time. Open your eyes."

I slowly peeled open my eyelids, my vision clearing up. Ruin was in front of me, her eyes directly in front of mine. The back of the couch was behind me, my sweat having built up from sticking to it and Ruin. Our bodies were together, so I felt down her's. I rubbed my cheek against her lips, turning my head to kiss them. I felt nothing but warmth and moisture from my leaking pores. My hearing started to work better, but all I heard were Ruin's slight movements.

"Sin, wait. Stop-" Ruin started, interrupted by my kissing. I held her tighter, feeling immense passion though I just awoke. It was all I understood to be happening, so I went with it. "kissing. Can we get up?"

"Why? Just accept this," I replied, my insides hot. Without resisting, she stayed still while I kissed her.

"If you want to do this, I'll let you, but we're in Hex's room. Shouldn't we head up to ours?"

"Right... I'll get up," I groaned, removing my arms and lips from her. Ruin slid off, standing and straightening her clothing. I did the same, holding her to my side. I noticed Hex and Fall were missing, and the bed was a disaster.

"Are we heading back now?"

"No. I should tell Hex that I'm leaving."

"What will we do as we wait?" Ruin questioned, smiling at me. I bent my head down and pecked her cheek, moving one hand on her shoulder with the other groping her ass. She slightly flinched when my hand moved there, but relaxed soon after and blushed.

"I'm doing it."

I started kissing her, my lust uncontrollable. I'd missed kissing her, as I hadn't done it for a few hours. I bent my legs, holding her to move her lower with me. I flattened her on the floor, lying on top of her. I pinned her body down with my arms, kissing her neck.

"Why did we move off the couch if you wanted to do this?"

"I didn't think I would. Hold onto me," I told, her arms wrapping around me. I was pulled closer to her, leaning against her bosoms. My legs were holding her's to the ground, the only part of her body able to move being her arms and head. "Are you comfortable?"

"You're against me, so I am."

"Good."

I relaxed over her body, smooching her. Pure bliss surrounded me, my brain too fried to care where I was. While we were exchanging kisses, Hex and Fall walked out from the bathroom, and Hex paced directly to us. His hair was dripping, some spots on his robe darker where the droplets hit. His face wore a scowl, my eyes glancing up to look at him.

"What are you doing?..."

"Lying on Ruin whose lying on your floor," I nonchalantly responded, removing myself from her. I stood, pulling her up with me, then adjusted my clothing and wiped some saliva residue from my face. Hex was unimpressed with me, extremely upset.

Fall walked up beside him, examining Ruin. The two looked each other over, grasping harder onto Hex and me, then looked jealous. Likely both were afraid of the other cheating with the one they claimed, though I know Ruin is too loving toward me and Fall seems to be protective toward Hex.

"Why are you on my floor?"

"I was on the couch, but I stood up. When I saw that you weren't in the room, I moved Ruin to the floor with me."

"I'm not going to ask any more questions... The sole reason you do anything is for the purpose of being yourself," Hex concluded, sighing. Ruin was slightly annoyed by his comment, squeezing my arm.

"Do you know what time it is?"

"It's the evening. Almost nighttime, but I'm too rested to sleep. I think I messed up my schedule."

"That's why you have to be like me: sleeping whenever I feel like it. I've slept so much that I can pretty much do it whenever."

"I don't think that's a good thing," Hex muttered, ashamed with me.

"What will you do?"

"I think I'm just going to... I honestly don't know. I've never had the problem of not being able to sleep."

"We could talk about tomorrow. I have some time before heading upstairs. It won't kill me to wait to have fun with Ruin," I suggested, Ruin pouting at me. I ignored it, Hex despairing over the fact I was barely fitting him in my time before Ruin.

"I haven't anything better to do. Let's sit in the dining room."

"Yeah."

I traveled to the dining room behind Hex, holding Ruin with both of my arms. She walked directly in from of me, her back against my chest and rear against my upper thighs. I took small steps to make sure I didn't step on her heels, snuggling up with her while we walked.

"Isn't it hard to walk like that? Walk normally," Hex commented, holding Fall to his side.

"Yeah, but Ruin's closer to me this way. It's worth it."

"I'll never fully understand you."

Within half a minute, we reached the dining room. Hex sat at the end of the table, Fall on a chair to his right. I sat at the other end, Ruin nudging me to sit on my lap. I allowed it, nuzzling against her face. I noticed my stomach growling, so I tried looking around for blood. None existed, so I figured I'd see if my servants were around.

"Can't you sit properly, Sin?"

"Yes, but I'm warm and cozy. Also, do you have any blood here?"

"No. I can't just leave it sitting around. It'd coagulate," Hex answered, aggravated with my overall behavior.

"If any of my servants are around, come here!"

After I yelled, a few heads poked over a corner and went up to me, black-hair within them. She stepped forward, slightly bowing.

"What would you like, Prince Sanneroal?"

"I'd like six glasses of blood," I turned to Hex and Fall, seeing them staring back. "Do either of you want any?"

"No. I've had enough," Hex groaned, rubbing his head.

"I haven't had any today. Can I have eight?" Fall asked, black-hair acknowledging it. I peered down to Ruin who was giggling.

"Would you like some, Ruin?"

"Yeah. I'll have one glass since I'm not a pig who needs eight," Ruin replied, building up aggression in the atmosphere. She chuckled, filling me with anxiety. Seeing the conflict about to break loose, black-hair left to retrieve the blood.

I wasn't sure how to react to Ruin since I didn't want to scold her, as it'd only fuel her. Hex and Fall were pissed; Fall especially.

"Don't compare me to such a filthy creature, you cold-hearted bitch," Fall snarled, shaking in rage. Hex looked uncertain, seeing my worry toward Ruin. We both looked at the two women, only seeing furies.

"You eat like one, so why wouldn't I? Are you even a woman?"

"Of course I am. I have bigger tits than you, so are you a woman?"

"Can the two of you calm down? Don't create a fight from nothing," I said, hoping to avert the conflict. I kissed Ruin, hoping it'd relax her, but it didn't.

"Shut up, Sanneroal. This doesn't involve you. Besides, Hex has told me about you. You say this is nothing, but you've permanently injured those you know over pettier matters," Fall replied, sparking rage in me. She smirked, Ruin scowling and glaring. Hex just sat, nothing seeming to process in him. He was like a startled animal. I punched the table in my anger, a hole instantly forming.

"Don't speak to me like that. I'm your prince," I growled, my head burning. Hex realized she said that, trying to whisper into her ear. Whatever he said, she didn't care and blew him off.

"I'll speak to anyone who challenges me however I wish. Royalty or not."

"You can't speak to Sin like that! I'll make you apologize," Ruin snapped, removing herself from me. She stood up, Fall also standing. The two walked up to each other, staring with rage. I looked to Hex who just gazed back at me in a daze. "Do you know why your tits are larger? You're fat. I have a good body, so I don't have bloated fun-bags on my chest. They're just right."

"I'm not fat. You just don't eat. I didn't realize Sanneroal would like an anorexic whore like you."

"My body is perfect. I just don't eat much since I know my limits. I don't need to fill my gullet with blood to comfort me. Saddened by the fact your boyfriend is a child with a man's body? You'll never get pleasure like I receive from Sanneroal," Ruin mocked, blushing. Fall was furious, grabbing her hair. Hex and I panicked, pacing over to them.

"I have a decent man, so I don't need constant sex to feel like I matter and am loved by him. I know he loves me. Besides, if the pleasure you receive is so great, then why do you need to feel pain?"

"Why don't you feel it for yourself and tell me?" Ruin responded, extreme fret within me. She stomped on Fall's foot, crunching it, then went on to punch her in the gut. Blood burst from Fall's mouth, falling down her chin and onto the floor. She wiped it off, scowling.

"Little bitch. Don't you know who I am? I'm Tifenallow. The strongest female vampire here."

"Self-claimed. I've never been tested."

"Think it's self-claimed? My magic has healed me already," Fall bragged, spitting bloodied mucus at her. I was surprised by her comment, as that meant she didn't need to cast the spell for it to work. Most magic users don't need to cast all spells, but it's automatically used even when it's not necessary. This is problematic, as it causes the user to be unable to hold back and save magic for later. Most magic users have this problem with weak spells, but few have it with higher ones like strong healing. Since Hex regularly recited his spells and learned their proper use, he has complete control over his magic, which is way more sought after. By saying the spell, it's much stronger too.

Fall grabbed onto Ruin's hair tighter, smashing her head into her's. Blood fell down Ruin's head, a smirk on her face. Ruin reacted by punching Fall's shoulder which dislocated and flopped. Fall forced it back into place, Ruin's head injury healed. When I saw them both about to punch each other, I stepped in the way and held my arms out. Ruin stopped, but Fall punched through my stomach and hit Ruin in the gut. Ruin coughed up blood, licking it from her chin and lips. She fell onto the ground, blushing but appearing in severe pain.

Fall took her bloodied fist from my body, my wound healing in a few seconds. I glanced at her while she was licking my blood from her hand. She appeared disgusted, wiping it off with her clothes. Hex started scolding Fall, but she didn't seem to care. Her pride was in the way, so she thought she was right. I turned my focus to Ruin, bending down and helping her stand.

"Ruin, you were in the wrong here. You shouldn't have done this."

"She talked back to you."

"Even before then, you started it. Don't pick fights. I'm not going to harm you or yell at you, but know I'm disappointed," I said, sitting down. Ruin stood, staring at me with tearing eyes. After a few seconds of not looking at her, she walked up to me and bawled.

"I-I didn't mean to upset you. I just..."

"You wanted to start a fight. I specifically told you not to tempt fate. You didn't listen," I calmly told, unhappy with her. Hex noticed how I was handling it, appearing relieved that I wasn't accepting. He sat back down, Fall following. Fall wouldn't look in anyone's direction, scratching the table with her nails.

"I-I..."

"You need to get over this. Pain isn't fun. Neither is ruining the lives of those around you so you'll be punished. I don't love when you behave like this."

"Y-You don't love me?" Ruin muttered, tears streaming down her face. She collapsed on the ground, sobbing and holding her hands on her face. I regretted what I said, but I couldn't have her feel like she could do whatever she wanted. I chose to ignore her, facing Hex.

"Do you want to speak about tomorrow?"

"Are you going to leave Ruin like that?" Hex asked, seeming to feel a bit of pity for her.

"Yes. I'm ignoring her for a while so she can think about this."

"Then let's talk. What are we doing?"

"We'll speak to Duvirnon. I'm taking some men, then we're leaving. Once we reach another town that's a good distance away, we'll set up camp and plan to attack this realm. We need to go back home."

"Sounds good. How will we attack? We can't just kill randomly," Hex pointed out, speaking seriously. I had already basically thought of what we'd do, so I was prepared.

"I'm thinking that we can snatch a few people from certain towns. We can make it seem like we're everywhere, though few of us will be in each place. Then we can have captives for when we go back to our realm to boost our appearance to the kingdom."

"Sounds good. We'll need to be careful, but home is assured if we can make that work."

"Good."

After I explained, I sat in almost silence. Ruin was crying audibly to my side, glancing up to see if I'd look at her. I stayed unwavering, forgetting her existence.

Black-hair came shortly after with other servants, giving everyone the blood they wanted. Ruin wiped her tears, facing me.

"Sanneroal... Can I sit on your lap?"

"Sit in a chair."

"B-But... You always let me sit on you," Ruin whined, more tears falling down her cheeks.

"I'm not happy with you."

"This hurts... You're hurting me, Sin. Please don't hurt me."

"Does the pain feel good?" I questioned, sipping from a glass. The blood didn't make me feel very cheerful.

"No, it doesn't. I don't like this. Don't you love me?"

"Listen, I love you. Greatly. But I can't stand when you behave like this. Associate the pain you feel now with the pain you love. There shouldn't be a difference between them."

"I don't want to feel this. Please end this. I can't stand this pain," Ruin begged, curled up on the floor.

"I don't want to see you like this, so I'll choose to forgive you. Don't think about doing this again. Don't pick fights, or I'll be disappointed with you."

"Can I sit on your lap?"

"Yes, come here."

Ruin wiped the tears from her irritated eyes, moving to my lap. She sat, holding onto me tightly, her body shivering. I patted her back, kissing her cheek.

"I love you, Nuinalue. I can't watch when you harm yourself or make others do it for you. Pain hurts."

She stayed silent, weeping over my shoulder. I held onto her, sorrow filling me. Hex sat blank-faced, staring off at the table. Fall was drinking, but she stopped after two glasses and pushed the rest away. I went back to drinking, chugging three glasses then finding I couldn't stomach any more.

"I'm leaving, Hex. Meet me in my room tomorrow."

"Sure."

And so I stood, walking out with Ruin holding onto my arm, and my servants followed close behind. I shooed them away, telling them to come back in the morning. When I entered my room, I felt exhausted. I traveled to the bedroom, pacing to the bed. Ruin moved to me, staring in silence and despair.

"Would you like something, Ruin?"

"If this is our last night here, can we enjoy it?

"I'll try."

I stripped off my clothes, throwing them onto the ground. Ruin struggled to remove her's, so I ripped them off and left the remnants on the ground. She didn't mind, trying to smile for me. I grinned back, lying on the bed. She followed, and I tried to make the most out of the night.
