A date!? Elesia and Michelle

Oh the site of seeing this dark creature quiver in fear something he couldn't help but enjoy. Nay, he savored it, he relished in it. Michelle was a vampiress, and like all vampires, there was a strong pride and selfless honor he assumed she would carry, just like the rest of her kind. So seeing her broken down like this and trembling as she was, it brought a sense of pride to the man who controlled the broken stitch in time.

"I'm afraid you don't really have such rights to ask. But to humour you, allow me to introduce myself."

His voice was clearer now, and came from just one direction; directly behind Michelle. His tone seemed British, like he was somewhere from the middle of Europe and certainly didn't belong here because of his accent. But when he showed himself, appearing like a faded image suddenly gaining color in the background, it was his appearance that seemed even stranger.

Garbed from head to toe, this man wore nothing but shades of black and white; even his hair having a slick, grayish hue and his eyes an onyx black. He possessed a monicle over one eye, and his pale skin and black lips made his features seem stranger than he already was, wearing what could only be described as a middle-eastern coat, fashioned with buckles and chains, and even an old fashioned pocketwatch he held in his hand, opened and giving an audable but faint ticking noise. What was most frightning though was the weapon he wielded. A large face of a clock serving as a shield connected to its end was an orante and deadly spear, clearly an exotic and one of a kind weapon that simply reeked of magical essence. Not a single thing about the man seemed right, and he would just look at Michelle with a light, deviant grin, leaning on his weapon that had it's point stuck a few inches in the sand, like the whole situation was normal to him.

"You may call me Chrono, and I'm a member of Black Cross.... though I doubt Elesia has told you about me. Or... perhaps she hasn't even told you about us at all?" He said with a mock grin, as if taunting her, wanting to see her reaction to this since Elesia hadn't admitted it herself. The name itself would probably strike terror into Michelle, seeing as how they hunted her kind. And that was precisdely what he was planning to do to the vampiress right now.

' Chrono...? Black Cross....? '

Those words appeared in Michelle's mind. But the main doubt was another. ' Elesia is a member of the Black Cross? Why didnt she ever tell me about them? ' . She didnt know what to feel right now. The only thing she reached to do was to ask about this organization Chrono was talking about. " What is.....the Black Cross...? And what does Elesia have to do with them? "

Michelle's little mind was fulfilled with doubts. Could have been a mistake to meet Elesia? Now, if Chrono doesnt refuse to answer her questions, some of these doubts could disappear. But she wasnt sure if she really wanted to know the truth. The first words Chrono said, 'It seems... your time is coming to an end, little nightwalker...' , were still scaring her to death.

Time, time, time! This little wicked vampiress really was hesitant, and with every bit of time she wasted, it made Chrono impatient. Even though he had all the time in the world, literally, he still felt a little impatient, not enjoying the fact that she was slow to respond. But he would admit, those subtle emotions of fear on her face, he simply enjoyed in seeing them. There was nothing better then seeing the fear.

And then, as if he had just heard what he was waiting for all day, a smile grew to his pale, great lips when Michelle asked about Black Cross, and he simply held out his hand with an open palm, reaching over to her to cup her chin with his free hand, the other still clutching the large spear. "We exist to kill the likes of you." He said simply, like the whole fact was so resolute and easy to understand, and it was well known. "Demons, Devils, succubus, undead, everything. Even nightwalkers." With a long pause, his smile growing, he would loosen his hand from her chin if she didn't resist, savoring the subtle emotions on her face before taking a step back, slowly looking towards the frozen in time form of the nun.

"And Elesia Thanatos is one of us."

There was so much the vampiress didnt expect. So many secrets...that Elesia hid from her. ' Why...Why didnt she tell me?! ' After Chrono's revelation, Michelle fell to her knees, pressing her palsm on the sides of her head as she let out a fearful scream. She was in real danger. She needed to do something. Quick. In her human form, she had no chance against this Chrono. She lowered her head and looked down at the white sand.

" And you came for me, didnt you, Chrono? "

Michelle sounded a lot more confident. The fearful ring in her voice had disappeared, and instead, there was courage. She wasnt going to allow this guy to take her life away. She raised her head, her eyes were shining blood red. The vampiress slowly started to stand up, her vampiress side revealing. " I will not die, Chrono. And if you even try to attack me, I swear, I wont have pity on you. "

Oh now this was amusing~ Did she really have the spunk to so much as even try to life a finger against him? She wouldn't if she tried to, he would slow time to a crawl around her, and she wouldn't be able to move, only watching in horror as he disected her piece by piece, like carving a turkey for a feast. But that never happened, instead, he wagged his finger slowly, shaking his head.

"Tsk-tsk-tsk... I never I said I would. There is no need for that." With a slow step back, his words came off cocky and filled with certainty, as if he was in charge and pulling the strings, confident that the vampiress couldn't even scratch him. Then, he pointed towards Elesia, his smile never ceasing. "Why would I want to get my hands dirty, when Elesia has already been plotting your demise from the beginning. Perhaps you should consider my wards a friendly warning more than anything; a chance to leave before she stabs you in the back, hm?"

" I...I....Elesia.... " The vampiress now started to doubt. Now she had the chance to escape from who, according to Chrono, would be her murderer. Or, she could stay and face a terrible destiny. Her mind was telling her to escape while she can, but her heart just refused to leave her nun friend behind.

" No. I wont leave Ele behind. Not even if that means to have her kill me. " Michelle softly said, her body wasnt moving at all, but the expression in her face looked like she really was determined to stay. There was something about Elesia...Maybe the way she treated her, or maybe her cute appearance. Anyway, whatever it was, she just couldnt abandon a friend, and less someone as important as Elesia.

Chrono couldn't have felt more certain that the vampire would run away in fear. He wanted that, because there was nothing more thrilling than a chase, and in his domain right now where he held time in the palm of his hands, it would be most entertaining to hunt her down. But instead, her words came off as a surprise to the white cladded time-bender, finding the vampiress to be more stubborn as she chose to stay. None the less, he still installed the fear into her, and now it just came down to later manipulating Elesia, then it would just how Black Cross would want it.

"Very well then.." He said with a sigh, taking a moent to open and glance at his pocketwatch, a subtle smirk still on his lips before he turned around. "Enjoy sleeping with a stake in your heart."

And with that, he turned around and took a few steps away. Then, raising his hand, he snapped his fingers once. "Domain of Kronus. Dismissed." When those words were spoken and the snap echoed through the time halted beach, the entire area was filled with a bright flash. When the flash cleared up, Chrono was gone, not even a footprint of his presance in the sand like he was never there, and everything resumed normal again. The birds were flying, people far off in the distance gossiping and sunbathing, and Elesia taking her dive perfectly into the ocean. It was like nothing ever happened...

Michelle was afraid of Chrono's warning. Very afraid. She refused to die now. But maybe..and just maybe...Chrono was right, and Elesia really planned in betraying her. Anyway, the vampiress didnt show any of this fear, at least until the strange white haired disappeared. A cold wave of air ran through her spine.

As everything returned to normal, Michelle fell to her butt, chilled to the bone. She watched Elesia swim like nothing had happened. Then she remembered that while she talked with Chrono, her friend had been kinda stoned. She kept herself from yelling at her, or from even escaping. She would stay there, sitting on the towel and looking down at the white sand, pretty depressed and worried.

Elesia had been in the waters for no more than ten mintues before she left. While she was inside though, if Michelle looked at her at all, the vampiress would see how Elesia swam like a dolphin, and was truly a master in guiding herself through the waters, as she cut through the waves like it was her natural habitat. But it just didn't feel right without having Michelle with her, even if she didn't know how to swim. Maybe she could always teach her later? It was actually a very heart-warming though, and so, Elesia made her way out of the waters to approach the one she cared for most.

Only... something seemed a bit off. Immediatley, Elesia jumped to conclusions. Perhaps the sunlight was starting to hurt her? Maybe she was still sick from nearly drowning? Whatever it was, Elesia found herself worried, and walked along the sandy beach, stopping just a few feet short of Michelle. "Hey.. are you feeling ill?" Elesia said calmly, taking a few breaths after all the swimming, her body still dripping wet along her voluptious curves.

Chrono's warning was the root of Michelle's depression. The vampiress was so distracted analyzing the words the white haired guy said that she didnt notice how fast the time passed. She came back to reality when she noticed a shadow approaching to her. She raised her head, Elesia's figure covered her from receiving the sun rays.

" I'm okay~~ " Michelle said with a clearly fake smirk. She didnt want to make Elesia worry for her. But...she also wanted to ask her something. Something that might put the nun in a an awkward situation. " Hmm...Hey, Ele....What is the Black Cross? " The vampiress asked as she slowly started to stand up.
