2Title: Strigoi
Author: Alicia "Kamitose" Guy

Disclaimer: None of the characters mentioned in this piece of fiction belong to me. They belong to Namco.
Distribution: As long as I am credited, and as long as you ask (and let me know once it's posted) then I don't care where its distributed. BUT you have to ask.
Author's Note: This is my second ever Soul Calibur fanfiction. This site is severely lacking in Cassandra/Raphael fanfiction and I would like to help remedy that.
The more I come to know you
Seems the more I want to hide
But I've opened myself far too much
And I let you peek inside
The monsters that you've shown me
Give me a little taste of fear
But I still don't know just what it is
That brings me back to here.
A little bit of madness
Dipped in honey, coated sweet
I cannot lie, I find that I
got myself in far too deep
The little lies you tell me
Make the darkness go away
Yet all at once I realize
It's in darkness that I stay
I'm in a maelstrom
It's in darkness that you lie
I'm caught in your web
Forever until I die
It's like a nightmare
And I'm not quite sleeping
I feel so restless
In your arms where you keep me
I think on how I came here
And it comes as no surprise
Seems I came in seeking truths
But I left with far more lies
The little things you've taught me
Showed me things that I can't bear
Knowing full well under my skin
There's an animal in there
I've come to face my demons
In the darkness of the night
But I fear that I can't face them
Should they be brought out in light
These nightmares play like fantasies
They may be all the same
But I fear it's far too late for me
For I have gone insane
I'm in a maelstrom
It's in darkness that you lie
I'm caught in your web
Forever until I die
It's like a nightmare
And I'm not quite sleeping
I feel so restless
In your arms where you keep me
I wish that I could quit you
You're like a damn disease
Taking all my breath away
Until I'm on my knees
You never listen to me,
Lest you should hear my pleas
But I find that I can't leave you
It's here that I grieve.
