You stand at the bar of your favourite club--The Revolver, and signal the bartender for another drink. You quickly check your reflection in your empty glass to make sure your makeup and hair is holding up. You gently glide a finger through your curls and push your fringe to the side. You smirk slightly -- Perfect.
You turn and scope the club, sipping on your cocktail. You feel confident tonight--you're wearing your new corset which gives you a brilliant silhouette. You paired that with your killer black patent leather heals and a knee length pencil skirt to exaggerate your feminine figure. You put your empty cocktail glass down and head out to the dance floor as Rob Zombie's 'Superbeast' starts playing. You're not much for the music, but you can't help but dance to it. You move your hips to the music and close your eyes, the bass pulsating through your body. Somebody bumps into you and you start moving together--grinding. You don't care if it's a boy or a girl. You slip your arm behind you around their neck as their hands grasp your hips. A strong scent of aftershave floats into your senses and you can't help but smile. The scent is seductive. You grind together as more industrial music plays. His hands turn you around and wrap around your waist and you stare into his piercing green eyes, as he stares into your brown eyes, framed in 'smokey' eye makeup, your lips stained a seductive shade of red. You smirk as his grip tightens on you. His scent growing stronger as he leans closer into you.
You give a coy smile as you slightly pull back as one of his friends approach him and start telling him a funny story of what their drunk friend just did. His eyes don't want to leave yours, but he temporarily diverts his attention from you and looks to his friend. You take this moment to refresh your drink.
You walk back over to the bar.
"Satine!"
You turn around in response to your name, and see your friend Morgana.
"Oh, Mogana!" You give her a hug. "I was wondering when I'd see you!"
She stares at you for a little while and leans closer to you.
"When was the last time you fed?" She whispers.
"Uhhmm..."
She sighs, disappointed.
"You're like a child, I swear. You look famished, do you want to hunt together?"
You think about it for a little while.
"No, I think I can manage."
She sits herself down on a bar stool and orders a martini.
"Well," she says, taking a sip. "I'll be here if you need me. By the way, you look hot..." She says, raising an eyebrow.
You smirk. "Ditto."
You give her a quick hug and make your way out of the club.
On your way out, you walk past an attractive group of guys, and one stands in front of you--stopping you in your tracks. You look up and recognise him as the man you were dancing with earlier, and you give him a seductive smile.
"Hello," you say as you flick your hair off your shoulder.
"Hello, Miss...?" He takes your hand in his.
"Oh, Satine. And you are...?"
"Zacky Vengence."
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Zacky Vengence."
"No," he gently kisses the back of your hand. "The pleasure is all mine, Satine."
The guys standing by all laugh at Zacky.
You turn to them and give a coy smile, sizing up if one of them could be your next meal. You shrug off the idea, these guys seem nice. However, your eyes do cross those of someone who is just leaving the club.
"I'd love to catch up with you, sometime." Zacky says, snapping you back to reality.
You smile. "That would be nice."
You quickly exchange numbers, your eyes carefully watching those of the drunk stranger stumbling out of the club.
"I must be off, I'm sorry," you apologise as you quickly leave and pull your fake fur coat on as you chase after your meal.
You catch up to the male and grab onto his hand, firmly.
"Hey," you say, seductively.
You lead him into the close by alley way and push him against the wall, kissing up his neck before sinking your fangs into his veins, draining the warm metallic liquid from his body.
You're a vampire. Well, a hybrid. Your elder, if you will, decided to try infusing human genetics with vampiric, and behold--you and Morgana, became hybrids. You are both tolerant to sunlight, silver and garlic. You can survive on 'regular' food, however your energy levels quickly diminish. Although you are both similar in those ways, Morgana and yourself have different strengths. After realising what he'd created, the elder quickly destroyed his paper work and any evidence of what he'd done. He knew what he had created, and didn't want the information to get into the wrong hands--it would be very dangerous. For, you virtually have no weaknesses.
You hear the sound of high heels click up the alleyway, and you quickly wipe your mouth.
"An alleyway? How cliche!" Morgana says, laughing.
She walks up and has herself some dessert.
"Come on, it's getting late, let's head home?"
You nod and you walk arm in arm together to your apartment (the penthouse suite) in an exclusive building.
"So who was that handsome man, hmm?"
You look to her. "Sorry?"
"Oh come on! That one who you gave your number too!" She says, nudging your arm.
"Oh, his name is Zacky. Zacky Vengence." You say, kind of dreamily, reminiscing the chemistry you two had dancing... And that scent... You sigh contentedly.
Morgana just laughs. "Going to go on a date?"
You shrug. "He didn't get the chance to ask, I had to catch my meal."
Morgana stares at you before bursting out in laughter.
You take your keys out from your purse and unlock your door, before walking into your apartment. A stunning view of the city visible from your large windows. The most beautiful point of your apartment, the view from your bedroom even more breathtaking.
After making your way to the bedroom, you get dressed in your silk chemise and slide in between your jade green silk sheets.
----------------------------------------------
The next afternoon you awake and run yourself a nice, hot bath.
You get dressed in just a plain pair of black skinny leg jeans, some red heals and a simple top as you prepare to go down to a coffee lounge you know is open until late.
As you stand in line you hear an "Oh my god! Satine!" and quickly turn around.
"Oh! Steele!" You give your friend a hug. "It's been ages! How have things been?"
"Yeah, good! I've taken up this job as a waiter to get myself through college. I'm studying astronomy."
"Oh, wow. That's... wow. Clever you!"
He leans closer to you. "I'm not sure you're aware if this... But there's a bunch of guys over there who have been staring at you since you walked in..." He nods in the direction of the guys, who are casually sitting on the sofas in the corner, near a window.
You giggle.
"What can I get you?" He asks.
"Oh! I'll get a hot chocolate with marshmallows?"
He nods. "Shall I bring it over to you..?"
"That'd be good." You give him a friendly smile before making your way over to the guys in the corner.
"Hey, Zacky." You smile.
He smiles back. "Hey, Satine, how are you?"
"Good, and yourself?"
He smiles goofily. "I'm great, thank you." He scoots over and pats the space between him and another man. "You should join us."
You nod. "Ok!"
You sit in between the two males and Zacky introduces you to them all.
"This is Brian," he says pointing to the man on your other side.
"Please, call me Synyster. Or, Syn." He says, shyly.
Zacky keeps introducing the rest of the men. "That's Matt, Johnny and Jimmy".
You smile to them all. "It's nice to meet you all."
You get chatting with all of them and find out about how they're all in a band together, and you can't help but notice that Matt can't keep his eyes off of you. You give him a coy smile and he blushes, looking away.
"What are you doing tomorrow? Maybe we could all hang out or something?" Zacky asked.
"Oh... Uh.. I'm pretty busy through the day..."
You see disappointment in Synysters eyes.
"But, I'm free in the evening?"
"Oh good! You'll be able to see us play then!"
You tilt your head slightly to one side. "...Sorry?"
"Our band has a gig." Matt chimes. "We're called Avenged Sevenfold."
You smile. "Nice name!"
"Well, we're playing at the Revolver, at 10? We could pick you up?"
You shake your head. "No thank you, but I'll meet you there!"
--------------------------------------------------------------
You wake up sluggish and walk into the living room, still in your silk chemise. You stretch and open the blinds, drinking in the view of the lovely city skyline. Morgana walks in and smiles.
"Hello, sleeping beauty!"
You look to her and smile.
"Are you going to come with me tonight?" You ask her.
She nods. "How do I look?"
She gives a little twirl.
You giggle.
"You look great," you say, yawning.
"You better ready, Satine, or we will be late!" Morgana says, rushing you back to your room.
"Why, what time is it?"
Morgana looks at her watch. "It's 9:30..."
You panic and rush into your room and quickly shower, throw a perfect outfit together and quickly apply some mascara and eyeliner. You walk out of your room and see Morgana watching the city.
"Let's go!" You say, heading towards the door.
You both grab your coats and head to the Revolver, stopping to grab a bite to eat on the way.
---
You walk into the club to find Avenged Sevenfold has already taken the stage. You assume you've missed the first couple of songs but push your way down into the pit, pulling Morgana with you. You enjoy the rest of their set.
As they say goodnight to the crowd, Zacky sees you and gives you a wink. You blush.
The DJ kicks in and starts playing music, and you and Morgana grind together for fun. You both giggle when you see people staring at you, and Morgana points out that a dumbstruck Zacky Vengence is standing next to a gobsmacked Synyster Gates. You giggle together again and put on a little bit more of a show. You both lean in for a kiss, but pull away and giggle as you leave the dance floor. Zacky calls out to you. You walk up to him arm in arm with Morgana.
"Hey! Great show, Zacky!" You say, giving him a hug. You turn to Synyster and give him a hug. "I loved your guitar skills, Syn" you whisper.
He blushes. "Thank you..." he says shyly.
"You should come back stage!" Zacky chimes.
Morgana claps excitedly.
She grabs your hand and follows Zacky and Synyster backstage.
The rest of the band have been relaxing on a couple of sofas, joking and carrying on.
"Hey, Satine!" Matt says, giving you a friendly hug.
"You put on a good show, Matt." You say as you cuddle into him. "I was impressed."
He smiles. "Really?"
"Yes, of course! It was a fantastic show--you all work together really well."
"Thanks!" Johnny says as he flops down on the couch, sitting upside down.
"So Satine," Jimmy calls out. "We're having a bit of a... movie night, I guess, back at mine. Wanna come?"
You look to Morgana who seems pretty smitten with Johnny.
She looks to you with a big smile on her face and she nods slightly.
You giggle and turn to Jimmy.
"Sure, that sounds great." You reply.
A few minutes later you all leave the club and walk out to the car park.
"Oh wait..." Jimmy says. "There's seven of us, but only five seats in my van!"
He turns and looks to you and Morgana.
"Do you think you could sit in laps..?"
You both nod, "Sure."
You arrive at Jimmy's house and everyone piles out of the car. Zacky and Matt rush straight into the house, hoping to claim the best seat in the lounge room. Johnny whispers something in Morgana's ear and they giggle together, disappearing into a room upstairs. Jimmy casually walks in after Johnny and Morgana, making his way to the living room. Synyster stands by the door and bows slightly.
"After you, Madame.."
You giggle and give him a curtsy. "Merci, Monsieur"
He gently places his hand on the small of your back and follows you through the door, leading you to the living room. You giggle as you see that Matt was victorious, sitting in the chair in front of the TV, with his legs resting on the coffee table. You sit on the couch next to Zacky, and Synyster sits on your other side.
You sit watching a movie with the rest of the guys, and they start telling stories about stupid stuff each other have done, drunk or not drunk. Matt gets up to get drinks for everyone, and you decide to follow him to the kitchen to give him a hand.
"Oh, thanks." He says, a grateful smile on his face.
"So, do you play any instruments?" You ask him.
He shakes his head. "Not very well."
You look around the kitchen and all of a sudden you hear something smash to the floor and Matt starts cursing. You turn on your heel quickly and see blood on the floor, and a glass shattered on the floor.
"Oh crap!" you exclaim as you rush quickly to Matt's aid.
You pull out the bar stool at the bench and tell him to sit down. You yell out to Jimmy for his help (it's his house--you don't know where to find anything)
He walks in and stops dead in his tracks.
"Ouch... What do you need?"
"Ahh, a broom and a first aid kit..?"
You look to Matt. "My Mom was a nurse," you say, looking at his foot closer. "Trust me to get it out?"
He nods, in pain.
"It's going to hurt... A lot..." You explain. "But we can't leave the glass in your foot..."
Jimmy rushes back in with a first aid box and hands it to you, before sweeping the glass up very carefully.
You dig through the box and find some tweezers and antiseptic solution. You elevate his foot and get Jimmy to help keep it still. You look into Matt's eyes.
"As much as this is going to hurt, you can't move, or you could cause more damage..."
He nods.
You take a deep breath and keep looking into his eyes. "I'm sorry..."
Before he has time to react, you start to yank out the glass shards.
He bites his lip.
After a little while, his foot is cleaned, the cuts all cleaned. You dress his foot with some gauze strips and wrap it up to keep them clean. You smile at him. "Well, good news, you don't need any stitches!"
You can see him sigh with relief as he put his foot down. You get out a couple of aspirin and hand him a drink of water.
He smiles gratefully.
"I'll check it tomorrow?" You ask.
He nods. "That would be good.."
You help Jimmy clean everything up and pack everything away.
"Thank you, Satine." He says.
You shrug. "It was no problem. But thank you for holding him still, otherwise it could have been a hospital trip..."
He smiles. "Hey, uh, Satine?" He asks.
You look to him. "Hmm?"
"Everyones, uh, staying here tonight. I mean, you don't have to, but I'd like if you, well, um... Did you want to too?" he finally spits out.
You smile. "Sure!"
"Well, uh, there's a couple of spare rooms and sofas and stuff."
You nod. "Thanks"
After watching "The Shining", everyone decides that it's time for bed. Matt cautiously walks into one of the spare rooms and winces in pain from his foot.
Zacky stretches out and puts a pillow under his head, pulling a blanket over himself. You giggle at him as he puts his feet on you, and you give them a little tickle.
Synyster stands up.
"I feel like going for a walk." He says.
"Ohhh," You say, with an excited smile. "Can I come?"
He nods, offering you his hand to help you up.
You take his hand and get up.
As you walk out of the living room, Zacky sings out to you.
"Hey Saaattteeeeeeeeeeennnnnne..?"
You turn around. "Yes?"
"Can you turn the light out?" He asks, slightly pouting.
You giggle and look around, finding the light switch you give it a flick.
"Goodnight," you whisper.
"Night!" He quietly says back.
Synyster helps you get your coat on, before putting his own on and leading you out the door.
"So where are we walking to?" You ask, adjusting the collar on your coat.
"Um, well, I know a really nice place... we could walk to... if you want? We could grab a cup of coffee on the way to keep us warm?"
You smile, "That sounds really nice."
You throw your empty cardboardy coffee cup into the bin next to the bench and sit down, wrapping your coat a bit tighter around you. Synyster sits down next to you, sighing contentedly as he takes in the view of the city over the bay.
"Wow," you whisper. "This is a really pretty spot."
He nods. "Yeah," he looks to you. "It's really good at sunset, too."
You smile.
"So, have you got a boyfriend or anything..?" He shyly asks as he runs a hand through his hair.
You shake your head. "No, I don't." You look to him. "You?"
"A boyfriend? No," he smirks.
You giggle. "I meant, girlfriend..."
"No, me either." He says.
You tilt your head to the side slightly, curious. "Does anyone in the band have a girlfriend..?"
He shakes his head. "No, but I think Johnny might have one soon..."
You laugh.
"So, is Morgana your sister?" He asks.
"Not, biological, no... But we've been friends for a...ridiculously long time." You say, as you look over the skyline.
Synyster smiles. "So, where do you live?"
Your eyes look over the skyline.
Synysters eyes stare into yours before he diverts his attention to the city.
You lean closer to him and extend your arm over his shoulder, moving your head next to his so you could make sure he knew which building you pointed to, and used your extended arm and point.
"See that one there?" You say pointing to a very tall and luxurious building.
"Wow... are you serious?"
You giggle. "No, it's that one next to it." your finger moves slightly and points to your actual building.
Synyster smiles and he looks to you, contentedly. He stares into your eyes, biting his lip.
Suddenly, fireworks start going off over the bay, and you both advert your eyes to take in the show.
"I wonder why there's fireworks?" You ask Synyster, resting your head on his shoulder.
His arm wraps around your waist and keeps you close to him. "I think it's a casino's 'birthday'..." He rests his head on top of yours.
"I love watching fireworks," you whisper. "They're so... pretty and--" you look to him.
"And romantic..." he whispers, brushing hair out of your face.
You smile. "Yeah..."
Synyster yawns, and you giggle.
'How about we start heading back?" You suggest.
He nods, still yawning. "That sounds like a really good idea..."
You giggle again and stand up.
Synyster puts is arm out for you to lace yours through and you smile, putting your arm through his and holding on to his strong arm.
"Thank you, Synyster," you smile.
"Please," he says, looking to you. "Call me Syn..."
"Ok, Syn.." You say, kind of seductively.
He smiles, and escorts you back to Jimmy's house.
Once there, he stops you just before he opens the front door.
"Well, I'll say this now, because Zacky is on the sofa..." He shifts his weight nervously. "It was...really nice to have some company on that walk," He says quietly, taking your hand gently in his. "Thank you."
You smile, "That's ok. I had lots of fun. Maybe next time we could walk from my apartment, and see what the bay looks like from the other side?"
He smiles and nods. "That would be really nice..."
You both stand quietly for a couple of seconds, staring into each others eyes.
He leans in slowly and kisses your cheek very tenderly, his face lingering for a little while. You breath in his scent, a very masculine, seductive scent.
"Goodnight, Satine.." He whispers in your ear, before open the door and walking inside.
He helps you get out of your coat.
"Goodnight, Syn." You smile.
You walk into the living room and see Zacky sprawled over the sofa, in the moonlight, the blanket on the floor, and goosebumps all over his chest. Might I add, bare and muscular, chest..
You smile to yourself, taking in the image...
You walk up to him and pick up the blanket, putting it back over him.
He rolls over and smiles, his eyes slowly flicking open.
"Oh, hello..." he says snuggling into the blanket.
You smile.
He stretches and you tuck his blanket into him to keep him a bit warmer.
"Goodnight, Zacky..." You whisper.
He points to his cheek with a slight little pout. "Can I have a kiss?" He asks, a smirk on his face.
You giggle and bend down to kiss his cheek, but he sneakily turns his head and you end up kissing him on the lips.
You pull away quickly and hit him playfully.
He just smirks.
"Stay with me on the sofa.." He pleads.
You shake your head. "How am I suppose to fit on there with you?" You giggle.
He shrugs.
You run your fingers down his chest. "You should have chosen a room..." you said seductively.
His eyes widen.
You inwardly laugh, knowing you wouldn't have let him try anything anyway. "Goodnight, Mr. Zacky Vengence..."
"Goodnight, Satine," he says, giving a sweet smile.
You walk upstairs and peak in the first open door, knocking gently.
"Hey," Matt says, moving over the bed and simultaneously patting the space beside him.
You walk in and sit beside him. "How's your foot?"
"Yeah, it's ok... I thought watching my favourite movie would help distract me; but company is always good too."
You smile. "So what are you watching?"
"About the last 5 minutes of The Matrix," he says.
"Oohh, of course," you whisper.
He puts his arm around you as you sit closer to him, putting your legs in front of you.
You watch the last 5 minutes together and decide to sleep.
"Do you... mind if I sleep in here, with you?" You ask him.
He smiles. "No, that's fine." He says, resting his head on his pillow.
The last thing you remember, is Matt's strong arm wrapping around your waist protectively as you both fell asleep.
