The Time Has Come

Johann woke in the middle of the night with a start. Freya was sitting on his bed beside him stroking his face with her gentle hand. She leaned down and kissed him on his cheek. My darling son I have good news for you. What news? he asked sleepily. It is the time, Johann, finally. Freya whispered in his ear still caressing him. Time for what? he asked. The time for you and your true love to be together forever as was promised. Johann scrambled out of bed to get ready. Johann, she is not here; you will have to find her and in which personality she appears. I cannot say nor would I even if I knew. This is your quest and always has been. Johann slumped into his armchair. It is best that I do find her rather than you telling me and I am sure Odin is laughing about our little visit here tonight. Freya smiled. You of all beings should know how he is. It is now time for me to leave. However Johann no matter what happens please come to visit me."

Immediately he began searching for his love, but he was not sure where to begin, so he called Charlotte the daughter of Randolf and Svelta, his trusted servants. Charlotte explained that the best way to search for Rissy or Risanne would be to get a computer and searching the internet. Johann had no idea what the internet was but he had heard of computers. He had never liked technological gadgets and had had no desire to do so until now. He told Charlotte, Randolf, and Svelta that he was ready to learn anything to find his true love. For the first time in ages it looked as though Johann had found something to look forward too and he had. No one really understood Johann’s relationship and love for Rissy/Risanne and did not understand his impatience at not being able to find her.

Johann had never known when he might run into Rissy or Risanne again or which one it would be until they started talking. Times were so different from the last time he found her; it was no longer the Sixteenth Century but the Twenty-First. There were none of these electronic gadgets that are everywhere now. How would he find her? The computer searches and private investigators had come up with naught. Finally he had been told by one of her distant relatives that she was somewhere in Savannah. Johann packed and left the house in Germany to go to the state of Georgia in the United States of America. Randolf, Svelta, and Charlotte had already gone to open the old house that he had procured from some flashy, false arrogant, wishful aristocratic vampire. The only thing Johann liked about the beast was that he was hilarious, and did have a good taste in women. Johann did not like jets; he still preferred to fly under his own power. It was much quicker and made him feel free. He spread his wings and rose into the air.

As he was flying he couldn’t help but wonder which one she would be this time. All he knew was that he loved her and he knew that as soon as they became acquainted she would have feelings for him that she would not be able to understand. This time things would be different he told himself. Freya had told him that the appointed era had finally arrived. Rissy or Risanne would have to be in the new home of her family. No not the house, but the place. Johann had to find her; he just hoped that she had not already married this time. He was wondering if she had accepted what she was yet or not, if she came as Risanne she would most likely have and if she came as Rissy, she may have not. So many things went through his mind about their lives together and he wanted her to be with him forever starting tonight. Finally he reached his new home, Savannah, Georgia.

The previous owner met him and they had a few drinks. Then something was said by the nightwalker that troubled Johann. I see that you have a thing for the lovely red haired witches. This is not the first time I’ve seen you in pursuit of them, but what is curious is that they all look almost exactly alike. The color of their eyes may be different but really nothing else. Same height and weight, but Johann there is one other thing too isn’t there? One’s a vixen and the other though not prudish is not very how should we say...adventurous? Yes that word would fit. Perhaps I should pay her a visit. This was the worst statement that the flashy fool could have made. Johann looked deep into this vampire’s violet eyes. You only think you met the devil and felt the bowels of hell. You go near her and I promise you that you will wish even more than you already do that your petty existence had never begun. Go tell the others of her clan if you wish, you pathetic crybaby and see what happens. They will tell you what you deal with. I could have snatched your soul many times but you provided me with too much enjoyment, I grow tired of you. The vampire began to protest when Johann allowed his wings to protrude, but as he did so one of Rissy’s clan appeared and took the vampire by the shoulders. Prince of Darkness, meet the angel of death, the first one. Johann just smiled and nodded to The Prince of Darkness, who was visibly shaken by this point. The lovely witch took the vampire away but before doing so looked at Johann and said Johann, she knows what she is and she even knows you are here. No one told her, she just knew.

As those two disappeared into the crowd, Johann began to rise when suddenly there was a giggle across from him. Hello Johann. It is a pleasure to meet you. I know so much about you but how I don’t know. As I can tell we have been together many times before. I will have this knowledge for just a few hours before I go back to my natural state. I was allowed to have a bit of insight my love, but you will have to assist me in learning everything once more after the witching hour. Do you know what form I’m in? Without blinking an eye he replied, You are Rissy. It was stated clearly and as fact. She looked at him quizzically. How did you know? A smile crossed his face. Risanne would have sat in my lap and ground her hips against me and probably would not have just sat across from me and giggled. She would have taken me to her place and made love all night until the spell faded. The look on her face told a lot. She had not expected him to be so quick or blunt. They spoke for awhile before he looked at the clock on the wall and offered to walk her home. She allowed this and when they arrived they kissed deeply. I will be expecting you tomorrow night Johann, but you will have to approach me. I will be at the place we met tonight, but not recognize you. He kissed her once more before turning to leave. This is our final adventure you know. Yes Johann I know, but not even I truly know what that means except that we will be together forever. This is not quite the same Rissy you have known, because it is the right time. She kissed him once more deeply. You know she will still make you wait though this will be hard for her to do this time. This body has never been touched in any way by another. She giggled. The way it has been meant to be since this all first began. Somehow he knew this was true and the only other time he had this feeling was long ago when he found her in a tavern.

The Date

As Johann walked home after saying good night to the witch he wondered what adventures this new era with Rissy would bring. She was lovely as usual and yes there was a difference this time. He thought of previous times when they had lived together. He remembered how shy she usually was and how no matter innocent she may be, he could not allow himself to make her his no matter how much she pleaded, but Rissy would not let it go. It was Risanne who had become greedier as time went on but this time Rissy and Risanne would have merged and from what she had told him through her soul earlier, he knew it was true. The time was here and now all he had to do was to try to win her affections. He wondered with all of her choices now if he would still be the one she wanted to be with. There were plenty of men that would make a good husband for her. These and other thoughts plagued his mind on his walk home. He was a little worried that the flashy nightwalker would try to take her from him, but he heard a voice of one of Rissy’s clan very clearly stating that he was of no concern. Only Freya could have allowed that one to know his thoughts and he knew that would not happen.

What neither Rissy nor her soul knew was that Johann had not been with another since the last time he had been with her. He knew it was significant when he discovered that Rissy was the dominant and as he looked back over the years it had been her that had always been so though she may appear to some to weak and mild. He theorized that she came as Risanne to get her fill of her physical pleasure. Risanne had never remained a virgin and had many lovers until he and she met. She was faithful after their meetings. So much so it scared him at times. Rissy long ago told him that she would never be unfaithful to him and in a way he had actually forced her to be and that in and of itself almost killed her and himself though he could never tell her that. Why his thoughts always went back to that time escaped him but then it was a time of great change in their relationship. Rissy of old would have laughed to have heard that he had not found someone to pleasure him. She might have gone so far as to call him the silver-tongued liar, but she would know deep down if he were lying or not and when she realized that he was being truthful would faint and possibly offer herself there on the spot whether anyone was present or not. He laughed to himself as he visualized that.

Finally he reached home and kissed Svelta and Charlotte’s cheeks and shook Randolf’s hand before going up to his room. The room overlooked the square where the house was located and it happened to be a place where Rissy would pass on her way to work. He actually slept late the following morning and it irritated him because he had planned to meet Rissy accidentally as he went to retrieve the morning paper. He had noticed from his gathered reports that Rissy walked to work. As he looked out his bedroom window that morning, he saw Rissy passing by and he knew where she would be after work. He read a little and while unpacking found an old book, a very old book on architecture. It was still inscribed very legibly For my dear friend from his ward, R. He had always kept this book close by ever since she had it delivered to him. She knew who he would eventually end up with, though they both still loved each other dearly. There was something between he and Rissy that no one could break and when tried he would cause pain and suffering as a long ago husband of Rissy’s had found out the hard way. He looked through the book and smiled. So many of the styles of architecture there was no more and these modern machines could never reproduce the love and detail that these builders had. People were no longer proud of their work and this saddened him. He wondered how many of the world’s evils would be erased if man could actually become proud of his work again and also how lovely it may once again become.

The hour of the meeting was close at hand and he went upstairs for his shower. He couldn’t help but still love his finely tailored white shirts, but he had become fond of jeans except when he went out and tonight was not a jean night by any means. He had to look his best but no go so far as to wear his tuxedo. He did find a nice pair of khaki pants. Apparently Charlotte had decided that he needed to update his wardrobe. He was looking at putting on a tie when Svelta entered and explained that few people dressed like that anymore. He wondered if he had stayed in the house and gardens for as long as it was appearing. Apparently Svelta knew what he was thinking and just replied Yes. He was finally ready and was as nervous as a whore in church. He had to laugh at that thought. Rissy would have said that. He said his goodbyes and Randolf had to speak up and say Well I would say that I’d make sure there are clean linens on the bed, but since it is Miss Rissy, I know it wouldn’t matter because you will retire alone. Johann shot him a look that would and has killed. Svelta told him to watch his tongue before he ended up on the street and she would deny ever knowing him. Charlotte giggled at that thought.

Johann almost flew to the meeting place. Once he arrived, Rissy was already there sitting at a table with a few of her friends. He watched her quietly for awhile. Several men had approached her offering buy her drinks but she refused. He smiled and chuckled and knew what he would do. He leaned over and whispered to the bartender. She looked at him strangely but soon came to him with a mug. He walked over to the table and looked right into those hazel hues. Her friends just watched to see what would happen. Johann almost bowed but realized quickly that it was no longer the custom. Miss I see that you are quite bored with the selection here. May I offer you this cup of coffee? Her friends giggled, but she looked at him and smiled. Thank you, sir. How did you know this was what I was wanting, He had to stifle a chuckle. It just seemed that this is something that you would enjoy. My name is Johann. Well thank you Johann. My name is Rissy Moonshower and I must say that it is nice meeting you. Her friends were aghast. She had never had much to say to any man. She looked at him quizzically before stating How did you know I like it black? It really was a wild guess Rissy. At this point the friend sitting next to Rissy got up and moved to the other side of the table to leave her seat for Johann who nodded to her. Would you mind if I joined you? Rissy smiled and patted the seat. I would like that. now her friends were really confused. Yes Rissy had dated and yes she was personable but no one had ever noticed her being this familiar with a man she had never met before. He talked with her and her friends never trying to separate them and including them all in the conversations. They noticed his accent and inquired where he was from and he told them that he was from Germany. Rissy smiled and stated that her family had come from there. Her friends whispered among themselves and then all of the including Rissy had to go powder their noses. He sat there and thought that he had really screwed this up and was trying to think of a way to repair the situation, but he could not think of what he had said wrong or done wrong. Soon they came back and asked him to forgive them for taking so long. Rissy’s face was flushed and he quickly scanned their minds and almost burst out laughing. They had forced her to take some condoms and giving her advice on how to get through her first time. She had protested the whole time and had become very embarrassed. A song came on and one of her friends leaned over and whispered to him that this was Rissy’s favorite song and pointed softly to the dance area.

Johann stood and asked Rissy to dance and the look on her friends’ faces dared her not to. She nodded yes without saying a word but glared at her friends. He took her hand and led her to the dance floor. She whispered that she really couldn’t dance. He leaned over and whispered That’s because you have not had a decent partner until now. She thought that was rather arrogant. We will see then. She suddenly led him onto the floor. His first thought was that she is more aggressive than in the past. To her surprise she leaned into him and followed his movements as though they had always danced together. Her friends watched and were surprised that she was actually dancing with supreme grace and style. Rissy laughed as Johann twirled her around. She said that it felt as though she was dancing on air. Her friends who had planned on leaving her there with him were so enthralled by the change in Rissy that they stayed. Johann and Rissy danced the night away. Rissy had never heard so many soft slow songs played before but was glad. She did not want to leave his arms, but could not understand why. It was nice for a man to hold her and dance with her without grabbing everything. She found herself snuggling close against him and though this frightened her a bit she was not going to let this go. She was going to enjoy it for however long it lasted.

The music ended and they headed back to the table when one of the men who had asked her if she wanted a drink and to dance approached her and called her a slut. Johann stopped suddenly and stared into the man’s eyes and asked him to apologize. He was ready to kill. Mortals were nothing to him and he could not tolerate the men for long. To Johann it seemed as though that gender had never evolved. Rissy turned quickly and before she even knew what she said it came out Have you ever danced with the Devil? If not you are about to have the pleasure, I did and it was out of this world but something tells me it won’t be nearly as enjoyable for you. Johann became distracted as he heard Rissy speak and the fool took a swing catching him in the jaw. Johann escorted the man outside and around back. Rissy snuck out to watch. She had been tired of this man for quite some time. She had danced with him once and he had rubbed himself all over her and she had to use her magic to make him pass out that night and was glad that someone else was going to take care of this fool. All she saw was a bright light and then just Johann standing there. The man was gone. There had been no fight. Johann turned around and noticed her there. I didn’t want you to come out here Rissy; this not for a lady to see. It was here that her speech began to change. A girl just came to check on you and to make sure that this girl’s assistance was not needed. A girl can assist in matters of this type. He is such a vulgar man and once placed his hands all over a girl. Johann himself perked a brow at her speech. Yes he was a very vulgar man.

They went back inside hand in hand and he was still kissing her cheek as they entered. Rissy’s friends almost fainted never seeing her behave in this manner. He knew it was late and his heart was glad that she had been so receptive to him. Rissy looked at the clock and bowed her head. Johann it’s time for a girl to leave, but this girl does hope to run into you again soon. Johann still a little off guard with the speech replied Perhaps tomorrow evening we could go out for dinner. A girl would like that Johann.   Her friends were taken aback at her speech. In unison they said He’s European not medieval Rissy. To which Rissy replied. A....I know that you guys. Pick me up at eight Johann. I will Rissy. When she was almost home, she turned to her friends. I forgot to tell him how to find my house. They all laughed at her and then asked her why she carried on so and why did she talk like that to him. She blurted out I know him very well or at least he is very familiar to me. One of them said, I bet you’ve been screwing him. Virgin my ass. Rissy glared at her and the girl had a headache suddenly. It’s really weird.   I’m serious; I think I’ve always known him. Another spoke up and laughed Rissy you’re the weird one. Maybe so, but I’m the one with the date tomorrow. Almost in unison her friends laughing hard said Yeah if he can find your house. Rissy blushed and ran into her house trying to think of a way to let him know where she lived until she passed out. The next morning as she took her walk she saw him again as he was picking up his paper. Johann, I’m glad I found you. I live two blocks up on the right number 5683. He smiled I’ll be there at eight. She smiled feeling much relieved and when she returned home she took a well deserved nap and waited for the appointed time.

Johann smiled as Rissy continued her walk but what surprised him was that she didn’t seem the least bit shocked at seeing him. It was as though she knew that he would be close by and this greatly intrigued him. While they had been talking he could pick up her sweet scent but it was a little different this time around, a little more powerful. He had not noticed it the night before possibly due the amount of perfume in the air and his nervousness.

He continued to watch her and noticed her walk; she seemed to have much more confidence than she had previously. He was then hit by a sweet voice. Looking at my ass are you? Enjoy for that is as much as a girl will ever let the likes of you see. This was followed by a soft giggle. He chuckled and sent her a little thought. Remember Rissy, you know you called me the devil and this devil gets what he wants sooner or later. A quick reply was received. My dear Johann, you will have to marry a gir…me to ever get that. Then still tuned into her he heard Where in the world is this ‘girl’ thing coming from? He didn’t reply to that it seemed to be a private thought and either she had forgotten to block him or she wanted him to hear but he decided that it was the former.

This era was interesting indeed. He wondered the extent of her powers; what could she do and had this come naturally? He was glad that times had changed in that regard. It made it easier for her to be open and accept what she was much like before the medieval period which had been fraught with so much denial of the gifts some received. Rissy had been scared of herself then and it had caused great internal struggling and despair for her. Somehow she finally learned what she needed but almost died in doing so.

Now his predicament was becoming a little more severe. Where was he going to take her for dinner? He had always been a little forgetful of such details. He did not really know his way around this city and knew that he would have to remedy this situation. As he was looking through the phone book, he realized that he really hated phones because no one bothered him until he was busy. Svelta and Charlotte happened to come into the room to clean and were discussing the restaurant where they had dined the night before. Johann perked up and asked them where it was that they had gone. They looked at him and giggled. We splurged. Charlotte boasted. Charlotte, my dear would you please call and make reservations under my name for two? She smiled her little seductive smile. I will but you will either have to sleep with me or reimburse us for what we had to pay for our meals. He smiled wickedly, rose from his seat, and approached her slowly, kissing her cheek and whispering, Tell me dear how much it was and I will see that you are reimbursed. Charlotte’s face turned sour and Svelta laughed. You should know better than to give him a choice like that. Well mother, if neither of us has been sleeping with him and I doubt daddy has, then the poor man has to be about ready to burst, therefore it was worth a shot. Maybe I shouldn’t have worn panties and had worn the short skirt and bent over right in front of him. Johann laughed. I sure hope that you would have bathed first. Charlotte became infuriated and Svelta laughed even harder.

Johann my love, you should not tease the girl so. She adores you and she has missed your bed, but I understand that whether or not she does, and I must say that I have been impressed by your abstinence, but don’t you think that you should take Charlotte up on her offer so that you don’t…you know, before Rissy has time to enjoy? Svelta have you ever known me to be that quick? I think not; if I remember correctly there were never any complaints from you. She bowed her head speaking softly, But Johann you had never gone without pleasure for this long of a period before and I was only trying to assist you. Most girls first times are disasters and I just don’t want Rissy’s to be and my darling I know that it would kill you if you did not please her on her special night. He gazed at the floor. Svelta both of these things are very important to me as you well know. You know that I will allow her to decide when it happens and that she will be the one to decide the exact moment of the deflowering. I know my love, but… He cut her off. Svelta surely you know that there are other ways a woman and a man can release their tension without penetration. She blushed and said nothing. She knew how right he was. Johann was glad that Rissy was blocked from hearing this conversation. He was sure that she would agree to the last part but would have been appalled and perhaps angry for their discussion about her virginity and sex life, as well as the fact that Johann and the others spoke as if it was a matter of time and fact that he would be the one she ended up with.

Charlotte had made the reservations in the meantime. Johann, I told them to have their most secluded table prepared and that the reservations were to be under the name of Graf Johann Todesengel von Gottes Gnaden. He asked me what that was supposed mean, so I translated it for him and assured him that if all went well, that he had nothing to fear. Why some people get so upset when they understand your name I can’t for the life of me understand. She giggled and so did Johann and Svelta. Randolf had to come in to see what he had been missing and when he heard he just shook his head and said. Charlotte sometimes I think you are more of the angel of death than he is. You scare people to death saying that and drive me to drink. At almost the same time Johann, Svelta, and Charlotte said You find any excuse to drink. Then they all laughed.

Johann found and took Charlotte with him to a florist and ordered a mix spray of roses, baby’s breath, tiger lilies, carnations, and a couple of tulips and had them ordered to be delivered to Rissy’s by seven-thirty. He thought it would be best if he went in person. He actually preferred the computer, but was afraid that someone would make a mistake. Cash talked a little faster than any internet anyway. He filled out the card after inspecting the flowers.

"My Dear Miss Moonshower,

I am honored that you accepted my invitation to dine with me. I shall be there at the appointed time. This is a semi-formal dinner.

Humbly yours, Johann."

He then remembered that Rissy had no idea that it was semiformal and that she would need time to prepare. It was already five-thirty and he was to be there by eight. He gave the delivery man a hundred extra dollars to take them immediately and sent Charlotte with him in case the young lady needed any assistance. He gave Charlotte a single yellow rose to take with her for his foolish mistake. Charlotte laughed and then she called Rissy and spoke with her. She told Rissy that Johann had not even found her telephone number in his pocket and what a wreck he was. They both laughed.

She went to Rissy’s quickly and assisted her with her hair and makeup. Rissy confided that she was as nervous as her gentleman caller. Charlotte looked the young lady in her hazel hues. Miss Moonshower, I know it’s not my place to say, but he has not been with a woman in a long time, so if you decide to whisk him to your bed, you may need to do some other pleasures before the actual act itself. Rissy looked at her and without batting an eye replied, Charlotte I don’t invite men to my bed and none have been there nor I in theirs. I appreciate the warning, but there are plenty of women in this city that can assist him with that. Yes ma’am. Charlotte said as she hung her head. Rissy turned to her smiling. He turned you down didn’t he? But there was a time you frequented his bed but something happened to change his behavior and he has been waiting for the special one, the one that will finally be his forever. Would you believe that when I was a little girl that I was told stories of one like that who was as much a part of my family as I am? He is supposedly an angel of some sort. I always liked the tale because they always told me that I looked just like the woman he searched for and would love for eternity and then he changes part of her and she will always be by the side of the angel who loves her forever. We have a lot of weird ones in my family. Charlotte had to bite her tongue and hid her thoughts. Yes Miss Moonshower he did turn me down and yes there was a time that I shared his bed and yes there was something that happened that changed him. Excuse me for saying this ma’am, but you are a witch and you cannot hide that from him or any of those who surround him. He knows and you know he knows, but yet maybe he is too. She wanted to scream out You daft witch, he is the angel in those stories.

Rissy rose and went closer to the mirror to look once more. He’s almost here Charlotte and don’t call a girl Miss Moonshower. I am Rissy; no more of that ma’am nonsense either. I want us to be friends. Charlotte said that she would respect her wishes and worked on straightening out Rissy’s dress. Rissy suddenly turned around. Charlotte, he’s here and I’m still a mess. The doorbell rang and Charlotte was only slightly impressed that Rissy was right. Charlotte said that she would greet him and show him to the parlor where he would wait. "And darling don’t worry, he doesn’t mind waiting.

He says ‘Perfection doesn’t happen overnight.’" Rissy said it at the same time as Charlotte. They both laughed as Charlotte ran to allow him entry.

Charlotte opened the door and greeted Johann with a sly smile. I think you will like what you see. She showed him to the parlor and chatted with him as they waited for Rissy. Johann she has heard the stories, but does not think that they are more than fairy tales. He looked at her and nodded. It’s not yet time for her to realize that they are not. She will find out the truth in time my dear. This cannot be rushed. Charlotte nodded back. They had decided to speak in the angelic tongue just in case Rissy overheard. He told Charlotte to go ahead and make sure Rissy was surviving her transformation. Charlotte went back to the bedroom and told Rissy that she looked fine and to go on. Rissy looked at her. Do you really think so? Charlotte giggled. Well you’re the one who said that he wouldn’t be sharing his bed or he yours. Rissy blushed. Shut up. I might change my mind. You never know. Rissy if you did; it would be a first. Charlotte proclaimed. Rissy looked at her sternly. You don’t even know me Charlotte, so you cannot say that. Charlotte chuckled. Rissy, will you just go? He’s waiting. She handed Rissy several condoms. That might be enough. On second thought.... She handed Rissy ten more. There that should do it. Have fun sweetie and use those things will you. Rissy glared and then giggled and without thinking placed them in her small handbag. Charlotte laughed to herself and thought. Silly girl, those are going to fall out and then you will have to explain why you have so many.

Rissy floated to the parlor. She didn’t want her dress to become soiled. Charlotte was right behind her smiling. When Johann saw her, his heart skipped several beats. Rissy was nothing but perfection. He stood and bowed. Standing behind Rissy, Charlotte was motioning him to stop, but it was too late. Thank goodness Rissy found this enchanting and also a little familiar. Johann approached her and took her hand in his, bowed, lifting it up to his lips while looking into her hazel hues. Rissy I must say that you are a vision of pure unadulterated beauty. Charlotte shook her head and wondered if he had a clue as to what century it was. Rissy blushed, pink shining in her cheeks. Why thank you sir, a girl did do her best to be presentable. Charlotte looked over at Johann a little confused hearing how Rissy responded. Johann just smiled and as he took Rissy’s arm and led her to the door looked over his shoulder and winked at Charlotte who was standing there dazed. Charlotte I think your work here is done. Go assist Svelta at home. Rissy looked at him and turned to Charlotte. There’s no need for you to walk we’ll drop you off.   You should have better manners Mr. von Gottes Gnaden. Charlotte snickered. Thank you Rissy, but I’ll walk. I’ve ridden with him. Once outside Rissy locked the door and Johann led her to the Mercedes. He was the perfect gentleman opening the door for her and making sure her dress was in before closing it. He started to get in and then called out to Charlotte. Charlotte come and let me drive you home. She smiled and knew that he did love her and that sometimes she pushed him too hard. Johann flipped his seat forward and assisted her in, treating her as though she were a princess. Rissy noticed this and smiled. Thank you Charlotte for helping me to look presentable for this beast. I see there really is a heart of gold beating within that chest. Charlotte smiled. You have not yet learned how good he really is Rissy. He acts like a beast at times, but is generally all bark and no bite, but let someone even think of harming someone he loves and you will see men tremble with fear and repent. Rissy nodded remembering the other night when they had just met when the man insulted her and Johann became irritated. She still wasn’t quite sure what had happened because there were no signs of a struggle. The man was just not there. They dropped Charlotte off with Johann walking her to the door, opening it and letting her in. Rissy could have sworn that she saw Charlotte kissing his lips softly before straightening his coat and tie. She never said a word but it did stick in the back of her mind.

As they were traveling down the road Rissy started some small talk about the weather and music. She was impressed by all the different types of music he knew. Then out of the blue she stated. I’ve heard that a vampire lived in your house, if you believe in such. What would make you think that such beings do not exist? You should know from your own heritage that there many strange beings in the world. Many people don’t believe in witches do they and yet here you are. There were a few moments of silence. You know? she asked. Yes Rissy I know. You are Rissy Ann Moonshower of the Moonshower clan that goes back to the beginning. Long before your clan took that name or rather what people came to call your clan because of their looks and deeds. You know of my family that is certain sir but how did you? He looked at her and smiled. I have known your clan for many years. I’m sure I was mentioned once or twice. She looked a little confused. I don’t think that I’ve ever heard mention of you and what really gave it away? You floated into the room my dear as graceful as any of your kind. She thought about this for a few minutes and then looked out the window wondering how this man could know her so well and how she seemed to know him, but knew that was impossible because they had just met. Are you a witch too? I know you were able to tap into my thoughts and heard me earlier quite clearly. I’m not a witch Rissy but yet I can read some thoughts. Not another word was spoken and she blocked her thoughts. He never even tried to read them.

Finally they arrived at Elizabeth on 37th. Johann exited the car and went around to Rissy’s side. She had begun to open the door, but Johann opened it and wondered why she had not waited for him to open it for her. He took her arm and carefully walked her to the entrance and opened the door for her. She did smile. The maitre d asked them if they had reservations. Graf Johann Todesengel von Gottes Gnaden and his companion. He said most eloquently. Johann smiled remembering what Charlotte had told them and he knew that Rissy could only catch that Charlotte had made it very plain as to who would be arriving.

Someone had not taken it seriously however, as they soon found out, and upon hearing that their table was not ready Johann raised an eyebrow. The manager hurried to them and apologized for their failure to have the table prepared. Soon they were escorted to a private table and were brought the finest champagne in the restaurant. The waiter said it was a gift from the establishment. Johann nodded and Rissy couldn’t help but have a slight giggle at all of the attention. Johann, I have the feeling that you must be someone very important. I am Rissy, but hopefully there will be one that will find me very important. He smiled and they toasted each other.

Johann acted like just an ordinary man, but with manners and taste. That seemed to be the thing that finally broke through the tension, but then he was also lively and animated especially when he rose and tapped his glass, speaking very loudly and as one of authority in the place. Everyone turned and looked. Ladies and gentleman may I have your attention please. This beautiful lady, Miss Rissy Ann Moonshower, has done me the honor of accepting my invitation to be seen with such a rogue as I this night in this fine establishment, and as lovely as all of you ladies are here tonight she outshines you all with her beauty. Everyone looked at her and clapped. To his surprise she stood and spoke, which was the final proof that she and Risanne had finally merged and that this was the right time. Ladies and gentleman, I only accepted his offer because he looked so pitiful when he asked. I only hope that I will not be the one footing the bill for this little excursion, however in the event that I am, I will accept any and all donations, cash, jewelry, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Diners Club, Sams, Costco, I’ll even take a check. Everyone laughed and clapped.

When they both sat down again, Rissy’s face was flushed. You just embarrassed this girl tremendously. I’m going to the powder room. As she got up and reached for her lipstick and a tissue she dropped her purse and the condoms fell all over the floor. Her heart stopped and she looked at him as though she were about to cry due to embarrassment. Johann contrary to his nature, whispered for her to go on and that he would take care of it. People were staring. He spoke up. "As I said a few moments ago, I am a rogue and like any good rogue, I think you call budding ones here in the state boy scouts, I am always prepared. The management didn’t know what to make of this and Johann knew that he had the upper hand, but in case there was any doubt, when the manager came over Johann flashed his eyes and showed a partial wing.

Rissy finally returned, but as she walked towards the table patrons were giving her money telling her that she may need it for a cab or a plane ticket. She protested but they insisted. By the time she reached the table she was giggling. Johann called the manager over and told him to bring him the bills for those patrons that gave Rissy the money. The manager did so and Johann met him around the corner and paid them all with cash. He explained that they were to be told that it was because of tonight’s disturbance.

They had a very fine meal, seafood galore with all different spices. Johann had never had a taste of Savannah and he loved it. While they were eating Rissy began asking questions. Johann, are you here on business or have you moved to the area?

I have moved here for the time being Rissy. This place is beginning to grow on me and with such lovely company; it will be hard to leave.

You are quite the silver-tongued devil sir and make this girl blush and feel important.

Am I now?

Yes you are and I am having the time of my life. Her hazel hues shone bright and he could see happiness within them. Her smile captured his heart and he felt as though it were the very first time that they had met. She was so happy then. There was none of this finery then, but she still could find goodness in everything. He had been wandering through the forest and there she was looking at butterflies in a field. He stopped and watched her. He found that he could not take his eyes off of her, just like now. She was the only thing he could see then just as now. A tear welled up in his eye just thinking about it. She spoke again and it broke the spell.

Johann, does it bother you that I am a witch? Do you think me evil?

Rissy I have never thought of you as evil, neither now nor at any other time since we first met.

She laughed. You only just met me.

Yes you’re right, we have only just met. He wanted to tell her so much, but the time was not yet right.

But the strange thing is I feel that I have known you forever. She had a flash of something that she could not quite make out. Something about them living in a nice house somewhere but she passed it off as a silly schoolgirl fantasy. Before she knew it she brushed her lips along his jaw and it felt as natural as breathing. She pulled away quickly stating. Johann, forgive me for being so forward. That is just not like me and I don’t wish for you to think a girl is too forward.

He chuckled. I think the condoms said more about that than the kiss.

She blushed and stuttered. Johann, please I hope you don’t think of me like that.

No Rissy, I know that was Charlotte’s doing. But still it is humorous.

You are a rogue and a beast. Her eyes lowered and her cheeks turned bright red.

He took her hand and kissed it. Why Miss Moonshower, I do believe that you are blushing. He leaned over and kissed her cheek. "I must admit though that you are a beautiful lady and I am truly honored that you are here with me tonight.

It has been wonderful Mr. von Gottes Gnaden and a great pleasure to spend this time with you.

Thank you. he said softly.

The waiter came over and asked if there would be anything further and Johann asked for the check. Soon it was brought to him and he paid it. Rising he pulled the chair back for Rissy to rise and then as he took her arm he placed down a nice tip. He walked her to the door where the staff opened it for them. Once outside, he led her to the car, opened the door and assisted her in, before going to the driver’s side and getting in. As he turned the ignition and the engine roared he asked her, Where would you like to go now?

Is It Over

As they pulled out of the parking lot Johann decided to drive along the coast slowly. He had let the top down and Rissy muttered a few complaints, but then let her hair down letting the wind blow through it. Johann was continuously looking at the way her hair flew behind her and thought of all of the times that he had flown with her in the past with their hair mingling, but he could never really see it like he could now. Rissy noticed him looking at her and was glad that he seemed to be showing an interest in her. She thought that this would be nice for however long it lasted. Johann, what do you keep looking at?

Your hair and how it seems to float in the air. Does it still do that when you fly? She looked at him slightly confused.

What do you mean by when I fly and does it still? I have never flown on my own and have never been able to perform that feat.

It must have just been a dream. He said quietly.

He pulled over by the beach and smiled at her. Let’s take a walk. I haven’t walked along a beach in I don’t know how long. He took off his jacket, tie, and socks and shoes. Rissy was reluctant and after a few modest protests she decided she would go with him since he was insistent that he was going. She flipped off her shoes and lifted her dress and pulled her pantyhose off, with a wink at him. He started to turn around and block her from any that might see, but she looked him dead in the eyes. There is no need for you to turn away, and I need help getting these things off. I hate them. Johann was not very sure how to remove them without tearing them to shreds. Rissy giggled. Just rip them off. He was confused by her actions. It also surprised her at her lack of modesty. She had never done something like this before, but she felt comfortable around him and somehow knew that though his tongue may be a little loose at times that he would not take advantage of her. At last he was able to pull those things off of her, but began laughing uncontrollably. What are you laughing at? Then it dawned on her and a blush covered her cheeks. So what if I like Tweety? They both had a good laugh, and then Johann offered a suggestion. "Maybe you start wearing garters and stockings. They
