(Btw, this is more before he's introduced but what leads up to that villain.)
Suki no Vampire: The Duke Saga
Chp. 1 First Day on the Job/Walking with Strangers-The Birthday Massacre
I awoke that morning.
It was hardly extraordinary or anything or so it seemed. It was beautiful though. I awoke early strangely so I could still see the stars in the sky. I left my purple hotel room stepping onto the deck and balcony. The hotel was first class and cheap by my family's standards. It had a five star rating but the suite we picked was on the second row so we didn't pick anything fancy or conspicuous.
I was in London, England on a spy mission. I had shinobi training for years now and I was finally ready for a task of this caliber. I was mostly going to disguise myself, pick up a parcel, watch for activity, and leave. I would only fight if I had to and was recognized as princess. I rested my pale arms that were as white as the odd full moon out. It sparkled and glistened with the stars and so did my skin and eyes with them as I gazed dreamily and beautifully at them. I spaced out and relaxed as I stared at those galaxy beauties. Starry all over. My naturally twinkling purple pink eyes twinkled more than ever. I smiled like Thumbelina when she found her prince. I sighed softly and rested my soft round white face on my thin arms. I was wearing a long-sleeved velvet nightgown. It was pure black with a hue of purple and blue like the night sky itself. It matched my dark soul and it matched the beautiful early morning. I sighed again as the birds chirped sweetly and chimed together.
The sun poked out from behind some hills. I groaned a little at it and winced.
My uncle woke up and walked in from the other suites(ours are conjoined like twins). He was wearing a normal black shirt and pants but had bunny slippers and a cup of coffee. He blinked a lot.
I giggled at his slippers. I mean, seriously, think about it. He's Dracula after all.
"Now, now, Princess Raven. Even a royal and famous vampire and impaler like myself has got to have some comfort! You don't want my feet to freeze now do you?" He said all silly and stuff.
"Hahaha. Yeah." I laughed calmly but disappointedly knowing it was time to get ready.
Uncle Dracula put his hand on my shoulder understandingly.
"It'll be just fine, I promise. You're the toughest we have. You're the first princess in history who can fight like you can..." He said to reassure me. It didn't. I knew he meant "that lived".
"If I fight..." I corrected him realistically and depressedly.
I sighed again but more sad this time.
"You'll do great. I promise." He insisted and hugged me.
He went back into his room so I could prepare for the mission.
I went into the dark purple room. It looked like it was a velvet amethyst and smelled like opium and money.
I looked in the mirror at my face.
I let down my Rapunzel length red hair down from the loose ponytail I slept in that starry night. My pink purple eyes twinkled less and looked immensely darker in the darkness and shade of the room. They looked bigger, darker, and emptier. I combed my bangs into a fringe over my eye(this was before emo it was the 1800's I just always did it like that). I styled the bangs to be effortless, side-parted, and a little stringy for texture. I curled the ends of my thick rose red hair into wavy clumps and pulled some strands to the front over my shoulders and pinned a purple rose on the right side of my head opposite to the emo flip.The leaves on the rose were a dead, dusty black. My face naturally had a bright pink doll-like blush to it but I wanted more so I stained in with some old style clay blush rouge. I put on some brownish purple lipstick that was almost black. Made with gunpowder and lead. Very Bell Epoque. I took off my nightgown and put on a black semi-formal saloon girl dress with the bodice designed to show more cleavage. It had black loose hanging sleeve straps that draped. Most of the dress was a light gray black. The under dress and trim was a medium light gray. I wore long elbow length black opera gloves like Rogue from X-Men. I put on an extreme corset over the dress. It was a lightish purple with darker purple stripes. I used to like purple a lot more if you couldn't tell. Much like my mom. I put on super high black high heels and stockings. The stockings were sheer/clear. I hid a knife, a kunai, and poison in each one.
I stood up straight and walked out the door.
I went to the place with a serious look on my face.(Almost as if I had a gun.)
It was a fancy bar where the girls were paid to look good basically.
I walked in.
I tried as hard as possible to not act conspicuous or like a princess at all. I was quiet and look my seat at the table I was assigned. I was awaiting the man who would pretend to be a customer, say the password which was "desert hawk", and hand me the note that had secret information for the other ninjas on the team.
I sat down delicately into a red and fake gold chair at end of a medium-sized round table.
I hum to myself quietly to pass the time looking all cute and innocent like usual.
A man suddenly walks up to me. I look up at him with a smile. The man was very old, older than my uncle even(in looks that is).
I quickly stand up and shake his hand.
"I see you're here to do business, sir." I say smiling intently.
"Yes, I am. But you're moving too fast, hasty little girl!" He said laughing until he coughed.
I wrinkled my nose a little at the human germs but tried to hold back from making a face. I keep flashing my pearly whites through my dark lipstick to be friendly trying not to show any of my fangs.
He sat down in the other chair so I sat down in mine.
I put my gloved hands on the table. In a determined pose like a salesman ready to make a business deal.
I simply smiled and waited for the password.
"What's your name?" He asked smiling back and more than ever. He looked cocky so I assumed it was a trick question.
"Um...I'm not at liberty to give that information..." I said being general and blushing a bit. I almost sweated on my already glowing shiny white skin.
"Come now, show girl. It's your job to please men. Just humor me. You can lie. I don't care." His smile got more and more evil. This ugly a*****e looked like Mr. Burns.
I was starting to get the hint that he wasn't with the ninjas and wasn't an informant at all so much as a real life creeper who was after me and thought I was for sale!
I had to blend in with the crowd because people already started to look over a tiny bit.
"Sorry. I wasn't sure you'd pay full price." I said rehearsedly and sexily.
I leaned over the table showing more cleavage. My breasts are very big I can't help that though! It's in my genes to be curvy so don't hate on me!
"My name is Raven." I introduced.
"Hey there, Miss Raven. I'd like to pay a million lbs." He said happily closing his eyes as his smile painted more across his old leather face.
I thought to myself "Should I cheat this guy out of his money only to give him nothing? Sure. So long as I'm quick about it it should be okay...maybe..."
I scratched my chin softly. My gloves were silky and felt softer than the softest cotton.
"For what though?" I asked out loud to him.
"You're beautiful and young enough to be my bride, sexy beeyotch." He said drooling staring down at my chest practically getting a freaking nosebleed from that crooked old nose of his! Like that perv a** Master Roshi from Dragon Ball.
I twitched a little and gasped almost screaming forever.
"Look, I'll steal you if I have to. I need to marry you. I saw you around here and all the girls here are ugly and old as ever. You look like a doll...I collect dolls." He looked like a murderer.
Just as I was about to beat the s**t out of that old pervert someone called out and yelled very very loudly "POLICE!"
"Oh, blast!" I said lifting up my dress to run I use my vampire quick feet(basically like The Flash's super speed power) and take the old dude's money and run away.
I fly out the window like a vampire bat but no one saw me amid the chaos. Little did I know a new enemy was smirking from the shadows.
I was back in the room.
I told my uncle what happened except about the money because I basically earned it. I hid it in my brassiere so no one could take it from me anyways. It was worth the steal even if it wasn't yen my coin of choice. I secretly put it in the royal bank later so my parents and I could keep it.
When I was talking to him I told him about how that old man tried to marry me and how it scarred me for life.
"Princess, are you okay?" He asked after I confessed all of it.
"No! I'm not! I used to be innocent but now I'm soiled! I'm depressed now..." I said crying and sobbing intensely like a patient in an insane asylum. The clear blue tears ran down my face like blood runs down on corpses except more miserable and not as beautiful.
He hugged me to comfort for me strongly.
This was only the beginning of the courtesan missions. I would have to do more and worse. I would have to deal with it too even if it would haunt me forever and ever. I was only 16 but I had to be a woman. This whole scene caused my depression that day which would never ever leave me. I could never wear purple again(for the most part).
