id he really ask how I have been?
"Where do you live?" He cleared his throat before speaking. He was probably expecting far more of an outburst, but I was tired and that champaigne over there was calling my name, and so were the soon to be chocolate-dipped strawberries. And the rest of the food, of course.
"In Summersville."
"Where is that?" He asked.
"Aren't you supposed to know your country?"
"I can't possibly remember every small town in America. So, where is it?"
"In Wonderland."
"Peter Pan? "
"No, Tinker Bell. You're Peter Pan."
"Oh ok. Can you show me where Wonderland is at?"
"You're Peter Pan, you're supposed to know that."
"Do I look like Peter Pan?"
"Both of you don't age. And you are both ."
He chuckled.
"Now, will you move so I can get to that champaigne and the food?" I looked behind him at the lovely table full of food.
"Of course."
We went to the food table and I picked a strawberry with a small fork and put it in the chocolate fountain. The chocolate spilled over the edge of it and the light reflected in it's gloss.
I brought it up to my lips and bit down on it.
This is so good.
"What is it like?" He spoke after I chewed up the strawberry and opened my eyes to see him smiling at me.
"This is the best thing ever. Seriously. Try it." I spoke, ignoring the burning blush on my cheeks. I dipped another strawberry in the chocolate and held it up to his mouth. He hesitated but I ushered him by poking him with the strawberry and that made him open his perfect soft lips and I stuck the strawberry in his mouth.

"It is good." He agreed while nodding and chewing the strawberry. He had chocolate on his lips from me poking him and I cleaned it with my thumb. As I went to clean my now dirty thumb on a napkin, he took my wrist in his hand and sucked the chocolate off my finger while remaining eye contact.
I think I need my inhaler.
"I just ran through the woods and you licked my finger." I faked a disgusted face as I wiped my thumb on my dirty ripped dress.
I know I look like a cavewoman, but nobody really dared to look at us, considering I was with a very obviously powerful vampire.
"I had to run through the woods because a vampire was chasing me and I may have staked him, but I aimed for the shoul-" I rambled, before he cut me off. The poor newborn was still out there.
"I was there, remember?"
"I thought that you were passing through. " I was confused.
"No, I was following you as soon as you got out of that car. "
"But how'd you know what Lord Hudson was doing if you were following me the whole time?"
"He found his mate so I felt it through the bond."
"But how'd you know he was doing that with Vanessa?"
"Lucky guess. If you were a vampire, we'd be doing the same thing."
"Thank God I'm not a vampire, poor me wouldn't have any control because of some silly bond." I chuckled nervously as I chugged the whole glass of rose, bubbly champaigne. It was getting to my head, I probably drank a bit too much.
He laughed and a blush tinged the tip of his pale ears.
His eyes suddenly turned red.

"Are you Dahlia?" I doubt it was him speaking.
He either has a split personality, or his beast is out.
Wait, what is his name?
He moved his hand along my neck.
"Stop, that tickles." I laughed and pressed my cheek against my shoulder.
"Tickles?" He looked confused, but the smile on my face made him smile as well.
I might have to smile more often, because he is art when he smiles.
"Yes, it tickles."
His face soon turned sad.
Was he crying?
I dragged him out of the ballroom and into the gardens so we could have some privacy. I don't think that seeing The King crying was a good look.
"Hey. Look at me. What's wrong?" I spoke gently to him with a confused tone. Was he bipolar?
"Did someone else tickle you?" He sniffled, though he didn't allow any tears to leave his eyes.
"What? The only person that has ever tickled me is my family and now you. Does it matter?"
"Really?" He spoke with wide, innocent looking eyes.
"Yes."
"I think I love you. I'm Thanatos. " He hugged me and twirled me around. My dress was everywhere.
So that's his beast's name. Thanatos.
Death.
Thanatos means death.
"Stop, someone is going to see my underwear." I whisper yelled at him, but it was a happy type of yell, not the angry one. At that he immidiately put me down and wrapped his long coat over me. It reached down to a bit lower than my knees. You could still see my silky dress peeping through it, but now, it was caked with mud.
"We should get you home to pack your stuff so we can leave sooner."
I guess the beast is gone and The King is back.
"Leave where?"
"To the palace."

So What If I'm Trash? Who Needs Cultivation?!
Qing Shan Long. They say he isn't human. An escaped experiment from some government facility, a reincarnation of a saint, a freakish superhuman. Whatever he was one thing was clear. Be it Music, Martial Arts, Science, whatever he does he excels. He was a whimsical man. A great man. A man who craving for knowledge and excitement knows no bounds, whose collection of books and personal library would even make Alexander the Great green with envy. He donated to all manners of charities and funded many projects for helping the poor and disabled. A self made man who single handedly founded one of the largest corporations in the world, Wen Qu Technologies, whose influences reach from vast fields of expertise. From objects of war such as the newest aircrafts, droids, and body armor; to life saving medicine and vaccines; to even the mundane such as video games and the fast food industry. A legendary example of determination and hard work. He was in his car being driven to a business meeting to disclose a deal that would help ensure the country could have access to clean energy and help reduce the pollution that has been plaguing his homeland for the past millenia when he was assassinated and woke up in a strange new world. How will Qing Shan deal with his new environment where the strong suppresses the weak? From the top of the world he suddenly finds himself free falling to rock bottom. Unable to cultivate, a weak body, and all but disowned by his family. (For those who read comics and watch cartoons, imagine him as being Tony Stark, Richard Reeds, Jimmy Neutron, etc level of 'Genius'. ) My own spin on some familar tropes. Another reincarnation into another world story. The MC will take over the body of someone with a trash body that can't cultivate and will be hated and neglected by his family. Pretty typical so far right? Except there won't be some amazing miracle to heal our MC, there isn't some magical grandpa to teach him some OP thing which only his trash body can use, there isn't a hidden op bloodline, and he is not from a super amazing assassin clan or genius doctor. He isn't the chosen one, he's just a guy trying his best to make something with a crap situation. First attempt at a wuxia type story! I like playing with common tropes, maybe adding a twist, to playing it straight as a classic. I have absolutely no idea where this is going to take me but please do give your input and I'll do my best so that everyone has a say in where our journey will go. I'll admit the only knowledge I have of chinese history and ancient society is from reading light novels translated to english and some old dramas, so if I make some social passe just take it as because this is another world, not exactly an AU where magic and stuff actually exist. I'm also not actually Chinese and will basically using google to help me with names and other such, if I make a mistake please let me know! (Even if you don't like the story or couldn't bare to get past chapter 1 please leave a comment so I can find out where to improve, thank you!)
