~Meet Me In The Moonlight

[Azcadilia Todd]

Once the threat of Lucian hurting her was gone Az didn't want to leave. He was breaking down in front of her and it was because of things she'd said. She actually felt guilty for doing this. All she'd meant to do was make him let her go not break him down like this. Darkness, anger and hate thats what he wanted to escape from. For a demon it must be a hard thing to escape from. She watched as he sank to the ground and just looked into the distence. Slowly she kneeled down next to him. "Lucian?" She softly touched his hand with hers and waited to see what he would do. "If you wanted to escape it how would you do it?" The question was mostly her way of asking if she could help but she was too scared to say it outloud incase he did lose it.

[Lucian Williams]

It took a few seconds before Lucian answered. He blinked and then looked over towards Az as she kneeled beside him. His eyes quickly looking at her hand as it touched his own. As before he was disgsted at this, but that was only because he liked it. It was a bit comforting, but he wasn't allowed to feel this. Nor could he actually feel it, the only reason he could for now was because of Lucious.

Their was only one way that he could escape himself, and that was simply to not live. If he wanted to be free he had to cease living.

" I would have to die.."

That was the only way. At least the only way he could think of. He was created to be this way, and he couldn't stop even if he wanted to. For the first time in the last few minutes, Lucian looked at Az straight in the face. His hand lifting so it could push back some of her hair as he watched her facial expression. He was curious as to how she would react to this. If she would tremble at his touch or simply push away from it.

[Azcadilia Todd]

"You'd have to die? Why? I mean you can't just stop. You didn't hurt me you stopped yourself from doing that." Az looked to the side to avoid his gaze when he looked at her. He had to die. That was something she wouldn't help him with, it was also not what she expected him to sa on how me could escape. Feeling his hand she closed her eyes and brought her hand up to rest ontop of his. For the first time since they met his touch was actually welcome.

"Before when you gave me a choice. What does the choice mean? I only listen to you but what do I do?" She opened her eyes and looked into his. Maybe if she was there it woudl be a good enough escape and he wouldn't have to die to have some freedom.

[Lucian Williams]

" Don't think about it. If you took that choice, you would see the real me..and I don't want you to."

Lucian left his hand on her cheek for a few seconds before letting it fall back down to his lap. He looked around the cemetary and then looked back at Az.

" This is what you would see everyday..you don't need to suffer along with me."

His fingers felt a hard material and he relized that it was a piece of one of the headstones he had destroyed. It had a half of the angels face on it and he slowly traced his index finger along side it before letting it drop to the ground below. If Az would stay with Lucian, it would only destroy her. Her heart would eventually grow cold and nothing would bring her happiness. He didn't want that to happen to her, like it did him, Lucian and Lucious.

For a moment, Lucian could feel the hate and anger starting to try to regain pocession of him. This time, he was stronger and forced it away for the time being.

[Azcadilia Todd]

"What is the real you? The part with the horns, the one that wants you to hurt me? And the one that wants you to let me go is the old you." Az looked down at his hand after he fell from her cheek and frowned. The cemertary was what she woudl see everyday. He means death and she knew it. "I told you before i liked the designs of the stones." She paused still unsure of how much longer he would be this Lucian before the other came back. "I wouldn't suffer if this was the you I was with. But this isn't the one I'd be getting would it?"

Az leaned back against the tree next to Lucian and looked forward and saw all the things he'd broken. "If you don't want me to suffer why give me the choice? Its just like I said before. I'd choose and you'd take it back shouldn't suprise me I knew it was coming."

[Lucian Williams]

Lucian shook his head. That was the demon that gave her the choice. He only wanted to have his fun with her and use her as he pleased. In the end, if she did stay with him she would probably end up dead. Thinking about the demon, it was starting to give him some trouble. His hand reached his hand to his heart and gripped his shirt. He knew he couldn't last but a few minutes.

" You would only end up dead, either way. Eventually I would get tired of you and dispose of you like the many before you.."

Of course they weren't like her. Only Az was able to break the demon down, allowing Lucian a chance to rest for a small while. His teeth gritted together as it was getting harder and harder to control the demon.

" I don't want you hurt..simply because I like you.."

He pushed hissself to his knees and turned to face her. He lifted his index finger under her chin and pulled her lips to his before backing away.

" You can't stay.."

The strain in his voice was evident, it was coming and he couldn't hold it back anymore.

[Azcadilia Todd]

He would get rid of her? Az didn't like the sound of that. When Lucian kissed her she was a little shocked. It wasn't something she expected him to do. "I like you too." She put her hand on his cheek and slowly nodded when he said she had to leave. He was losing it and she could tell. "Alright." She gave him another quick kiss before standing up and backing away from him. It was odd to be leaving him there but she didn't know what he woudl do once the anger got the best of him. "Find me." She whispered. Maybe he'd come back and be the part of the demon she wanted not the killer part.

[Lucian Williams]

Lucian watched as she began to back away from him. Find her? Did she really want to see him again after all of this? His eyes slowly began to change, blood red was the new color. He couldn't fight it any longer and he pounded his right fist into the dirt. Teeth gritting together as he closed his eyes tightly. In a few seconds he was quiet. A low laugh broke the silence as Lucian slowly stood. Eyes quickly shot open as he looked into the distance where Az took off.

" I'll find you, don't you worry.."

He cracked his next to the left and then to the right, then wiped hisself off. Slowly he licked his lips from her kiss and smirked. They were bound to meet again, but the Lucian she expected to show up, was not the one she would get.

Before he left the cemetary, he walked back to where he was first sitting when they met. Beside a grave was a shovel and he took it up in his hands. He returned to the tree she they kissed and dug a grave. Lucian stuck the shovel beside it and looked down at the large 6 feet hole.

" Perfect.."

He was already getting things ready for Az for the next time they met. After he killed hger he was going to barry her right under the tree.
