                      WHERE’S BELLA  ?       that’s the question everyone asks,  the question no one has an answer to.  your brows arch like hers and your heart aches like hers,   bleeding sunshine and spitting honey.  you are,  to your very core, your mother’s son—-   golden and tan and beautiful,  hair black like hers and eyes lovely like hers,  face freckled like hers and cheeks sunken like hers.   you cry like her,   sing like her,  orchestrate piano keys between dainty digits like her.   perhaps,   so beautifully crafted like her and blessed like her,    you’ll one day be able to find her.   no one else seems to care to.   /   ind.    alexander goth,    as penned by stephanie.

a  weak  boned  boy  made  up  of  frayed  wires  .        he  will  not  allow  himself  bend  or  break  again  ,  will  not  let  himself  implode  with  the  burnings   of  a  broken  heart  .        veins  of  poison  wrapping  around  the  organ  ,  trying  to  keep  it  intact  so  that  his  frame  does  not  cave  in  .        he  could  tell  his  beloved  how  sorry  he  is  .        that  he  will  never  leave  again  ,  that  he’d  hang  up  his  poisoned  soul  on  the  coat  rack  made  up  of  their  enemies’  bones  .        he  could  be  truthful  ,  &  she  could  have  doubts  .        he  could  stay  forever  ,  but  they  are  both  too  smart  to  believe  in  things  like  that  ,  no  longer  able  to  trust  in  kaleidoscope  thoughts  &  childish  daydreams  .        one  day  ,   he  will  leave  again  ,  &  she  will  fall  in  love  again  .        he  will  be  scratched  out  of  portraits  .        reduced  to  a  name  &  scarring  memories  .        she  will  try  to  forget  him  ,  &  he  will  be  searching  for  her  love  in  places  there  is  none  .        his  every  waking  thought  &  his  last  dying  wish  .                
hands  pull  away  from  the  rosary  ,  like  it  scorched  him  ,  like  it  disgusts  him  .        eyes  closing  so  tightly  in  frustration  that  he  can  see  the  galaxies  she’s  made  of  on  back  of  his  eyelids  .        the  world  spinning  at  a  sickening  speed  ,  he  will  swallow  down  bile  .        her  kisses  taste  like  love  ,  &  he  has  never  deserved  that  .        without  thinking  ,  rough  hands  will  press  harshly  against  her  collarbone  .        he  has  never  taken  her  softness  into  consideration  .        maybe  if  he’s  ugly  ,  she’ll  understand  .        blood  stained  teeth  snarling  ,  eyes  flickering  black  ,  it  pains  him  to  show  her  the  face  that  damns  him  .        but  he  is  no  good  ,  &  will  never  deserve  her  love  .             ‘   no  ,  we’re  not  .        nothing  about  you  ,  nothing  about  us  ,  is  right  .        what  don’t  you  fucking  understand  ?       it’s  going  to  kill  us  .       this  is  going  to  fucking  kill  us  …             &  you  do  not  deserve  to  die  .        not  at  his  hands  ,  not  even  at  god’s

                              you’d think     ,         with a heart so gold and love so kind    ,      she’d move on to better things   .     she’d come to realize that chase was just a boy full of broken promises    ,     a boy full of fear     ,      a boy scarred and a boy cruel and a boy whose one reflex was to run away   .     she knew some of those things   .     it took time    ,     but she realized he was scared    ,     he was weak    .     weaker than her    ,     anyway     .   alas  ,  this didn’t deter her affections or wither away her loyalty    .     if anything    ,    it made them stronger---------      her persistence and patience taking over her love    .    she wanted to help him    .     she wanted to prove to him that ,    utterly and truly   ,    she loved him    .      she wanted to show to him that her intentions were only good   ,       and that he didn’t have to keep pretending to be this big bad wolf that she knew he only portrayed himself to be  ,   a means to isolate himself    ;   it was easier to be feared than to be loved    ,     she knows   she knows she knows   !    but god    ,    was it hard    .      damn     ,     was it tough     .     it was so painful to love so hard only to be left so many times   .    ‘   you’re a liar    .    ‘      voice shakes    ,    but her ground is stood    .   ‘   and a coward    .    ‘     she doesn’t flinch at his touch    ,     doesn’t cower at his gaze    .     she’d gotten used to it by now    .     ‘   it’s easier to be alone    .    you want to be alone     .     you’re doing this to make me go away  .    .    .    but i’m not going to   .    ‘    grabs his hand again    ,      rests it over her rosary again    .     ‘    you hear me   ?    i’m not going to    .    i’m not going to abandon you     .    i’m not going to let you ruin yourself     .     i’m not going to let you become the monster you so desperately wish yourself to be   .     &  you know why i’m not letting you do that   ?    because i care   ,    chase   .   i care so much    ,    and you’ve never known what that feels like    ,     so you’re scared of it    .    you’re scared of me   .    you can’t live your life in fear   .      ‘

                                   lies scar fragile flesh     ,     staining her in the horrors of his love  ,     a love that burns brightly in daylight but sits coldly in moonbeams   .       she’d barely had him home with her for more than a day      ,      and he prepares to leave again    .   AGAIN   !     how many times would this be  now    ?   heart expands too far     ,      welcoming him home in her embrace too many times  .     would she ever get tired of a boy so cruel    ,    a boy she’d call a man if it wasn’t for his fears that withhold his bloom   ?    one day there wouldn’t be a home to come back to    .     one day    ,     when times were better and life was brighter    ,    she wouldn’t be here anymore  .  perhaps even sooner     ,    she’d marry a man worth marrying    ,     and  there wouldn’t be space in her ever-expanding heart for him anymore .    

‘    you don’t .    .    .     mean it    .    ‘     yet even still    ,     she continues to see through the facade he calls heartlessness    .    his lips are lined in anger but his eyes cry for help     ,      ache in fear and long for love    .       ‘    you don’t mean it    .     i know you don’t   .    you don’t mean it   .   ‘     she approaches    ,    hands cupping his to rest it over her rosary    ,  with the same heavy silver & the same glistening red gem that winks in the center    .    ‘   i love you    .    we’re together for a reason    .     we’re supposed to be together    .   ‘      said the rosary’s spell    ,    unbreakable to anyone else’s hands    ,    even those with gentler thoughts and romantic smiles    .   ‘   you don’t have to be scared anymore   .     you don’t have to run away anymore   . ‘    leans forward   ,    cherry lips peppering gentle kisses to coax him into staying   .    ‘   stop it   .   ‘     and again   .    ‘  stop it  .   ‘    and again and again and again    .    ‘   just stay here   .   ‘

         saccharine sweet,   she pools in springtime. ‘  have you ever thought of quitting ? ‘    smoking,   she means.   she wasn’t going to remind her that it was bad for her,   and that it could potentially kill her. . .  moka’s sure she’s heard all that already,    but she still subtly speaks to it with the way moka shields her nose from second hand.   /  @pulitzerlost

                 out of politeness,   she does not her voice that moka would even get it if she tried.   ‘   i’m not sulking.   ’   plump lips move to correct her,   her face pale.   it’s with angelic calmness that she tilts her head,   regarding moka with a careful eye,   tracing her details.    ‘   i’m mourning.   ’
image

            brows furrow,     more out of confusion than anything else.   mourning  ?   for what  ?   ‘ don’t tell me it’s for him. ‘     a man weak,    defenseless,  annoying.   how could anyone love a thing so pesky  ?    ‘  men aren’t worth the trouble;   especially a human man,    no less.  ‘

                 ‘   no.   ’   emotions bubble at her lips violently,   cause a hurricane in her chest.   she shakes her head,   aggressive.   ‘   no.   that’s not true.   ’   it might be,   for all she knows,   but love,   lust   —-   lydia doesn’t know the difference most of the time.   all she knows is that when she’s around moka,   her knees feel a little bit like dessert jell-o,   and her schoolgirl crush is wide enough to span around her neighborhood.    blood comes nearer.   she stares,   wide-eyed,   speechless,   silently pleading with the vampire for there to be another way.   this is irreversible,  this she knows,   and it doesn’t even matter.   in the end,   she will always make erratic choices because of love.   in the end,   she will always pick moka.   with tears in her eyes and a wobble of chipmunk cheeks and raspberry lips,    she cants her head down to let the taste seep into her mouth.

             crimson petals part,      head tilts back with the tiniest twinge of satisfaction.  blood sharing was,   and forever will be,   intensely erotic for vampires------  deeper than sex,    better than feasting.   it was giving a part of yourself to someone worth deserving,    someone who will wake to be yours forever,   loyal and loving.   what a shame that moka herself cared little for that commitment,    she merely enjoyed the pain of abandonment.   arm pulls away,  hands resting on either side of lydia’s head.    with a sharp twist,  and no warning,   she snaps her neck. 

brings her to her home,    halls far enough to echo and rooms big enough on their own to foster a small family.    she’s rested lydia on the couch,   a smooth red velvet held together with black tinted wood.   moka sits at the end of it,    black claws scaling the craftsmanship of her rosary with care and adoration.   would it be too late to confess to lydia the existence of a girl far lovelier,   the girl closer to inner than any other  ?   probably,   but she doubts it would matter,   seeing as they’d likely never meet.  rosary tucked away in the back pocket of leather jeans,  she tries to waken lydia with the scent of blood,    blood lingering within the confines of a medical plastic bag-------   moka hated the taste,    but she wanted lydia to find her own hunt rather than moka bringing it to her,   so it would have to do for a first meal.

        ‘ tragic story. ‘   she’s undermining it.  she cared little for god,  and this merely reminds her of her hatred;  why worship a man so cruel,   so unforgiving ?   better yet,   why worship a man at all ? ‘  but why sulk ?   you just look pathetic.  take hold of your new life and make it your own.  sulking is what he wants you to do.  ‘   so,  she mustn’t do it. /  @nymphaete

                she knows.   ‘   but you haven’t.   ’   pulse quickens underneath moka’s touch.   her cruelty has burned through flesh so many times that maybe lydia’s immune to the fire now.   isn’t that a nice thought?   ‘   what are you waitin’ for?   do it.   ’   she’s tired of this back-and-forth,   of moka not saying what’s on her mind.   TELL ME YOU LOVE ME.   TELL ME YOU HATE ME.   anything is better than the lie.   ‘   y’either want me dead or y’want me alive,   but when i’m around you i feel like i’m both,  and i can’t keep doin’ that.   i feel dead because of how much i love you.   you don’t get what that’s like.   ’

                 love  ?   she’d laugh if the notion wasn’t so unfamiliar to her.   instead,  crimson petals part to release something similar to that of a scoff;  doubts,  denies,   refuses.   ‘ you don’t love me. ‘   how could one love a monster so cruel,   a girl so vile  ?    ‘ it is the idea of love that arouses you.   you crave it,   ache for it.   your loneliness is what drives you. ‘   claws whisper across lyida’s skin;  up the curve of her breast,   lining the edge of her jaw,   cupping the sweetness of rosy cheek.   moka’s free arm comes to her own painted lips,   fangs elongating to shred the flesh that rests there.   she brings it close to lydia,  blood’s grotesque scent filling midnight air, lingering copper and nickle.   ‘  take my blood,    and you’ll never have to be lonely again-----     an eternity of us,    forever and always,  lydia. ‘   she gives her the illusion of choice,    but it’s likely she didn’t have one.
