It Takes You There

[Graverobber]

Before Graverobber could make some sort of snappy remark back at Pavi, he was suddenly rendered helpless by the vampiress' deeper bite. Without warning he let out a small cry, though he attempted to stifle it by covering his mouth with his hand. There were still others outside, after all, and he didn't want any of them getting suspicious and come in to find...this.

He squeezed his eyes shut, ignoring the throbbing in his head and the beginning wooziness the blood loss was causing him. A small whimper wanted to push forward from his throat, but he held it in as best as he could, determined not to let Pavi seem him in such a demeaning manner.

But try as he may, he still couldn't get the other's damn cocky smirk out of his head! It didn't help that Pavi was leaning over him, propping his elbows on the back of the couch and resting his chin on his hands as he looked down at the other. Another curse tried to come out of Graves' throat, but it was muffled to the point where it sounded more like a moan. Pavi's smirk grew at this, and he watched at the other continued to writhe uncomfortably under Mina's hands.

And, though he certainly had no objections to watching the two of them continue, Pavi was beginning to grow a bit anxious seeing Graverobber in such pain. For one thing, he didn't really want the other to die, for the simple fact that he wasn't that angry now that he'd suffered a little; and another thing, Amber would kill him if he were to cut off her favorite and main source of Zydrate. And...he wasn't entirely opposed to Mina switching over to him now, if she were still hungry.

"Mina, amore," Pavi breathed into her ear, shifting so that he were leaning over her instead of Graverobber. "I think your-a friend may have-a...reached his-a limit for now. You might want to switch back-a to me before you hurt-a him."

[Mina Murray]

At the sound of Pavi breathing her name in her ear Mina let go of Grave Robbers throat. She felt herself flush at the way he said her name, the fact that she could still taste both men excited her. And the way Pavi said her name and was so close only made her feel even warmer.

Mina moved forward so she was on her knees, most of her strength having returned from her feeding, her face and lips inches from Pavi's own. She kissed him full on his masks lips, needing some type of physical contact with him then. Not even bothering to wipe off or lick up the last few drops of Grave Robbers blood off her mouth.

She needed Pavi's kiss so much she didn't even mind that she was technically kissing a dead woman's face ignoring the mild smell and taste of decay and formaldehyde. Her fingers went up into Pavi's hair gently tugging it as she slid her tongue into his mouth.

"Si, mi amore." She whispered into his ear as she broke the kiss then lowering her mouth so she was nibbling on his Adams Apple. Gently, almost teasingly biting down around the little bump and licking up his blood once more.
Completely forgetting that Grave Robber was still seated next to her on the couch.

[Pavi Largo]

Pavi was slightly taken aback by Mina's forcefulness, but he didn't mind in the slightest. Graverobber was immediately forgotten, as he slid his arms around her waist and pulled her deeper into the kiss. He was mainly surprised that she'd been so willing to kiss him without removing his mask first(though he was particularly grateful for that, considering that the other man was still in the tent), as he knew that she didn't particularly like the masks in the first place. He certainly wasn't complaining, however, even as she pulled away and began teasing his Adam's Apple with her teeth.

He let out a soft moan at that, leaning into her bite gratefully. He licked his lips, tasting the blood on them and shivering slightly. He was once again reminded of just whose blood it was, but at the moment, he was so absorbed with Mina's touch that he didn't care. It was an oddly erotic taste...and though he wouldn't admit it, it sorta turned him on.

Graverobber fell back against the couch gratefully as she pulled away, panting a bit from the pain and relief of it's absence. He put a hand to his neck, wincing with he felt the blood on his fingers and the torn skin beneath them. That was definitely gonna leave a mark, to say the least.

Suddenly, he turned to look at just what it was that had pulled the vampiress away from him, and his eyes widened once again at the sight of Pavi and the vampiress. It was clear to Graverobber now that this was far more than just letting the woman feed...Pavi enjoyed it. A lot. The claminess of his skin suddenly increased at the sight, and Graves felt a little sick watching the two.

Though maybe that was more the blood loss talking than anything else. He couldn't be sure.

[Mina Murray]

Mina let out a tiny moan as Pavi moved her closer, ignoring the fact that Grave Robber was moving. Her lips moved over Pavi's neck kissing and letting the tips of her fangs scratch him. Her fingers were busily scracthing and rubbing the back of his neck.

"Invocare per me a mordere, prego Pavi." Mina murmmered looking up at him with a seductive look. She didn't think Graves knew Italian, and she knew how much Pavi loved having her comand him in his own language. "Voi sapete che si desidera, amore."

[Pavi Largo]

Pavi bit back a moan, heat rising her his face at her seductive murmur. He couldn't resist her when she looked at him like that...especially when she decided to speak in Italian. It was far too much f or him to simply ignore, even with Graverobber there and watching disgustedly.

Eyes briefly flickering over towards the other man, Pavi briefly considered turning him out...but then decided that making him watch would be a far better punishment. He hated letting anyone besides Mina see him act so submissive, but it wasn't like Graverobber had anyone to tell. And besides, he was merely a peasant, no, worse, a street rat. Why should he care what the insect thought of him?

"Sì, cara mia," Pavi breathed, looking back down at her. "Please, bite me. Hard."

Graverobber's lip curled in disgust as he watched. The submissive tone in Pavi's voice had surprised him, however, and though he still would have run out had he been given the chance...he was a little curious to see just what the vampiress would do to him. Hearing one of the most powerful men in the world begging for something, especially something that involved receiving an extreme amount of pain at the hands of another...was oddly satisfying. Far from arousing, of course...but definitely interesting. And while Graves would have preferred a less extreme route, he intended to keep watching. No matter how disgusting it got.

[Mina Murray]

"Gladly." Mina said seductively grabbing onto Pavi's hair suddenly and digging her teeth into his throat fast and hard. Exactly the way he liked it. Mina slurpped his blood up greedily, going so far as to work her jaws against him once her fangs were still in.

As she fed though, she saw Grave Robber look at them...at her...the disgust, and the morbid fasicnation. The same look the people who paid to see her act looked. And instantly she felt disgusted with herself and ashamed. Ashamed about how much she enjoyed these moments draining Pavi and making him hurt, ashamed of having to be what she was. She could feel her stomache turn at the memory of being the attention of disgust.

She would never get used to that look, it brought back bad memories of how Jonathan used to look at her.
Mina let go of Pavi's throat suddenly practically jumping off the couch and turning away from both of the men. So neither men could see the tears coming to her eyes. Mina quickly wiped away the blood and tears on her face.
"That's enough, for tonight. I'm full now." She said simply not turning around.

[Pavi Largo]

Just as Pavi was getting into it, Mina decided to jerk away, and rather suddenly at that. He looked at the place where she'd been seconds before for a few stunned moments, before looking up suddenly at Graverobber, who was still watching in state of shock/disturbance.

Suddenly, Pavi moved forward, jerking the dealer forward by the front of his coat. Meeting Graverobber's eyes with a cold glare, he said in a dark, unfeeling voice, "Breathe a word of what-a you saw here-a tonight, and I'll-a make sure that-a the only Zydrate you'll-a be dealing will-a be your own. Capiche?"

Graves nodded at this, too stunned to say anything. As Pavi released him, he bolted for the entrance of the tent, ignoring those outside and rushing around towards the exit of the circus. However, he paused mid-stride, slowly retreating back towards the vampiress' tent. His curiosity was getting the better of him and he wanted to know more about just what the youngest son of GeneCo was doing here...especially with a woman like that. Was she just another one of his whores? That obviously wasn't the case, as displayed by their obviously far more intimate relationship. And, though he knew that he shouldn't care about it in the slightest...Graverobber soon found himself hiding around the back of the tent, an ear pressed to the cloth as he tried to listen to what was going on inside.

Meanwhile, Pavi had turned slowly to face Mina, a sudden wave of guilt coming over him. He felt that it was his fault she'd reacted this way; after all, he'd been the one goading the dealer to watch as some form of twisted "punishment."

"Mi amore..." Pavi said cautiously, walking towards her and putting a hand tentatively on her shoulder. "Are-a you okay?"

[Mina Murray]

"He looked at me like I was a monster." Mina said allowing herself to get chocked up now that Grave Robber was presumabley out of ear shot. "Like I was a animal feeding on you. The disgust in his eyes Pavi....he looked at me just like the the customers do."
And she started crying then, she turned around and embraced Pavi holding him tightly around his neck.

"I'm unclean!" She sobbed. "I don't even feel like a human when someone looks at me like that, I feel like a animal. And I practically am. Look at me, I'm...I'm not a woman I'm a creature. A freak."
And she lowered her head onto Pavi shoulder and started crying letting all her sadness out in large sobs.

[Pavi Largo]

Pavi's expression hardened as she pressed her face into his shoulder, and he instinctively wrapped his arms around her as she continued to sob. He hadn't intended for this to happen; he'd tried to disgust the other man with his own actions, not Mina's. And now that she was so visibly upset, he realized that he'd been very selfish to use her in such a way, and very inconsiderate.

And he felt guilty about that...but right now, he was far angrier at the fact that it had worked. The fact that Graverobber was more likely disgusted at Mina's actions than his own was becoming apparent to him, and he hated the man for that. Hated him for coming here in the first place, to taint his amore with Zydrate; that angered him beyond belief.

But what made him angriest was the way that Mina viewed herself. The fact that someone as perfect as her(at least in his opinion) thought of themselves as the exact opposite was baffling...and infuriating. He hated the fact that being in this place had led Mina to feel that way about herself. Hated it more than anything else.

"Mina. Listen to-a me," Pavi said firmly, taking the woman by the shoulders and looking sternly into her eyes. "Don't-a you ever say that about-a yourself again. Ever. It is an insult-a to yourself and-a my own judgement, because I'm-a gonna tell you right now, that everything you just-a said was a lie."

Outside, Graverobber listened intently, ignoring the throbbing in his head and the blood that was quickly drying to his neck and hair. He felt a tad pang of guilt at hearing how upset he made the woman, which surprised himself. [i[Christ, I didn't mean to make her [/i]hate herself, he thought to himself, frowning. Really, he'd been more disgusted with Pavi than anything. After all, she couldn't help it, if she had the need to feed. She seemed like a reasonable dame, in his opinion, not some sort of blood-sucking monster like she was making herself out to be.

But that didn't excuse Pavi, who'd taken advantage of this need for his own sick sexual pleasures. Graverobber didn't trust for an instant that the Largo cared for that woman as much as he pretended to make out...at least, he didn't until he'd heard Pavi's next words.

"You are-a the most-a beautiful woman in-a the world, tesora," Pavi said, a softer, almost pleading tone to his voice as he pulled her closer. "How can-a you not-a see that? I need-a you to understand that..." Sighing, Pavi lifted Mina's chin, looking into her eyes with as much sincerity as he could muster. "Mina. You are-a not a freak. You are-a not an animal. You are the most-a wonderful, passionate person I have ever-a known. And anyone who-a says otherwise...is-a quite obviously the freak-a themselves. Because no sane-a person could-a ever believe otherwise about-a you."

[Mina Murray]

"Pavi..." Mina said tears in her eyes and a small smile on her lips. "You are to good to me, amore. You are more than I deserve."
She leaned forward and gently, delicately brushed her lips against his, her eyes closed. Mina let out a tiny sigh of pleasure at just having him near her. There were times that she wished she could stay attatched to him forever just so she could never lose the feeling of him.

"I love you." She whispered to him breaking the kiss. "I love you more than anything in the world."

[Pavi Largo]

Pavi gently kissed back, sighing a little at the touch of her lips against his own. He felt another surge of guilt at her words; he was far from too good for her, especially after what had just happened. What he had just done.

"Mina..." He whispered, trying to mask the guilt in his tone. "I...I love-a you too," he finished, unable to muster the courage to admit that he'd attempted to disgust the Graverobber.

Speaking of whom, Graves raised an eyebrow rather sharply at the words he heard being exchanged inside the tent. Though he didn't want to admit it...Pavi actually sounded sincere. But suddenly, the thought occurred to him; Pavi had technically been trying to disturb him(and succeeded). And suddenly, any thoughts of sincerity disappeared from Graverobber's mind, and he rolled his eyes, thinking bitter thoughts about the lying womanizer. However, as soon as he began to switch gears, Pavi surprised him yet again, as he leaned further in to listen.

"Mina...you must not-a think so much of-a me," Pavi at last admitted within, sighing and taking her hands into his own apologetically. "It...it was-a my fault, the way he was-a looking at-a you. Looking at-a me. I made-a him watch...as-a punishment. But I only attempted to-a make him-a disgusted with-a me, never-a you!" Pavi insisted, biting his lip at the negative reaction that was sure to come from the woman.

"I...I'm-a sorry."

[Mina Murray]

Mina felt her gut clench at that.
"A punishment?" She said trying to stay calm but it was...difficult. "Why would you try and punish him, with having him watch us together? Doing the most intimate things imaginable! What I do with you I have never done with anyone..ever! And to make someone who was unwilling watch us, to punish them?"

Mina turned away angry at him, and upset at herself. Upset because even though Pavi was trying to console her at telling her that he was trying to have Grave Robber disgusted by him, she knew it was as much her fault as anything.
"Have you let anyone else watch us?" She said after awhile her throat felt night and her stomache. Whether it was from sadness or the after affects of the Z she couldn't say.

[Pavi Largo]

"No!" Pavi answered suddenly, shaking his head quickly at her question. He felt his stomach drop when Mina turned away, and he bit his lip, the guilt smacking him once again in the face. He started to put a hand on her shoulder, but stopped himself and folded his arms instead. More than likely, she wouldn't want him touching her, and wouldn't react well to it.

"I...I don't-a know why," Pavi said after a moment, wanting to smack himself. Now, he was disgusted with himself. Perhaps he'd done it because secretly, he was a little disgusted with himself as well. He knew that most others would found the kinds of things he and Mina did disgusting...though he'd never viewed what she did as disgusting. Only what he himself did, because he'd always been rather disgusted with that side of himself, ever since he'd first learned of it...with his brother.

Then, Pavi remembered. Remembered why he'd thought he'd been justified in his actions...Zydrate. While the actions may have been far too extreme, he'd had reasons. "Mina...I know that-a man. He shouldn't have-a been in-a your tent," Pavi said, scowling at the thought, a stern tone to his voice despite his guilt. "He gave-a you Zydrate. He knew that-a you'd feel-a worse after you'd-a taken it. And for-a that, he deserved to pay with his-a blood when-a you were-a hungry. And I don't intend-a to let-a him off-a so easy. If he comes-a offering that again-a, I will give him a far-a worse-a than that to take with-a him."

[Mina Murray]

Mina kept silent as he spoke, he looked somewhat guilty for his actions. But she still wondered why he did what he did. And why he hadn't considered how she would feel about it. Pavi explained what the Grave Robber had done though.

"Worse than what you've already done?" Mina asked, still a bit miffed at Pavi's actions. "I only fed off of him because I had to. I would never feed off someone who didn't want to fed on. I am not a monster."

[Pavi Largo]

"I never said-a you were!" Pavi replied back, a bit harsher than he meant to. He was used to arguing, mainly with his siblings, and his natural instincts were kicking in for how he was to respond back to the woman. Pavi tried to calm himself down as he spoke, not wanting this argument to escalate any further, as Mina was already rather angry with him.

"Look, I'm-a sorry, Mina," Pavi sighed, trying to sound sincere, as he truly was. "But amore...please, to-a understand. I was-a very angry, and-a very scared when I saw-a him in-a here." Pavi knew that this was no excuse(or at least, not one that would work with her, but he was willing to try anything to back on her good side at this point.

"Mina, I know that-a you wanted what-a he gave to-a you. And-a you are-a free to make-a your own choices..." Pavi sighed again, a softer, more worried and apologetic tone to his voice. "But I don't want-a to see you end up like-a my sister. That drug...that that-a worm gave-a her...it's-a dangerous. I watched-a her turn into a girl I didn't-a recognize anymore. And I won't-a let the same thing happen to-a you. Not-a by his-a hand, at-a least."
