very rebellious daughter of a down and out woman in Florida. Merideth ran away and sold candy at the beach that she stole from shops, lived on the proceeds and on stolen snacks. Sneaked into a performance by a vampire rock band from LA, Alicia the band manager and also a singer, heard her singing along with the band and Embraced the girl for her looks and musical talent. Merideth traveled with the band for a while but eventually even the anarchist and former Sabbat band members got tired of Merideth's relentless antics and chasing after dangerous situations (which only started after her Embrace btw). Alicia got tired of Merideth's dependentness and wild misbehavior for attention and sent her off to "grow up"... something Merideth doesnt seem likely to do anytime soon. Especially since Alicia provided her "daughter" with a trust fund...
Merideth heard Erzebet talking to Mordred (the Brujah primogen who owns a complex of nightclubs) about visiting his pricey strip club. From that, plus her Primogen Gareth's admonitions that Erzebet was the most evil woman he'd ever seen, and Erzebet's teasing kindness to Merideth, Merideth developed a crush on Erzebet. She is looking for a woman who will spoil her and torment her, tease her and fuss over her. Merideth watched Erzebet enjoy a lap dance from beautiful human stripper Monica, and then later, watched Erzebet wreak havoc on the dead Prince Raif's physical remains. She fought down her urge to lick Raif's blood off Erzebet's hands. The destruction of Raif made Merideth sick, luckily she didnt have to watch the man destroyed. She looked at Irini whose face is elaborately scarred by Raif's own twisted games. Merideth actually finds the scars quite attractive, although Irini hated Raif enough to kill him bare handed.
The next night Erzebet was not at the Elysium but Merideth was drawn to a newcomer, Brujah anarch Lareath Ashkevron. Lareath sat crosslegged on the floor of the club in his leather jacket. Merideth complimented it and Lareath said, yes, ma'am, I won it in my first rumble. Merideth commented how polite he was for a gangbanger... Lareath countered that gang membership didnt make him stupid. Merideth reassured him that she commented on his manners, not his intelligence. She talked to him for a few minutes about his gang and ruffled his hair, he seemed to like that. He told her he found the smell of leather reassuring.
that should be enough lead-in to understand where Merideth's fantasy is coming from.
She was in a lightproofed room with marble floor and rough stone walls. On wall mounted holders around the room were various cutting implements, knives sharp and dull, smooth and serrated, small as a finger and long as a sword. There was also a table or altar in the middle of the room, and X shaped constructions with manacles at each of the four ends of the X. Lareath looked around nervously and Merideth stroked his cheek, soothing him. "Don't worry, dear, we're going to have fun..." Merideth licked her lips. Lareath smiled at her trying to hide his nervousness under the same bravado he used with his gang. Merideth smiled at him approvingly. "That's the way, dear."
They both turned to look as Erzebet led Monica down the stairs, pulling her along by a chain attached to both her wrists. "Hello, Meri, and Lareath. I'm so glad you are here." Erzebet smiled warmly at Merideth as she took Monica over to one of the X's. With practiced ease Erzebet secured the human woman into the restraint. Monica seemed dazed, and Merideth recognized the result of the Dominate discipline, one she practiced herself. Once Monica was locked into the four manacles, Erzebet stepped back as if to examine her. Yes, her body was as perfect as it had seemed at the strip club. She would make a wonderful canvas for Erzebet's latest work.
Erzebet snapped her fingers twice and Monica seemed to come awake. "What.. what's going on? Oh... I didn't realize you were into the kinky stuff..." Erzebet smiled at Monica indulgently and turned to Merideth. "Are you still sure you want to do this, Meri? It will help so much... both for me to sketch out my ideas, and for our little girl there to see what will be happening to her... since we only have the one girl..." Merideth smiled back at Erzebet. "Oh, yes, Lizzy... I'm glad I can please you." Merideth took Lareath's hand and walked over to the second X, which faced the first where Monica was watching with curiosity. Merideth whispered to Lareath, "You do remember what you're supposed to do, dear?" Lareath nodded to her. Merideth shed her clothes and then posed herself in front of the empty X, and Erzebet fastened her into it, with some gratuitous caresses of her cool bare skin. Merideth smiled and giggled a little as Erzebet touched her nipples. Erzebet winked at Merideth.
Lareath kneeled beside Merideth's X and watched, still hiding nerves under gang-trained cool, as Erzebet carefully chose a knife, touching three or four before deciding on the right implement, a jeweled dagger with a straight, narrow blade. She looked to Monica for a moment, then traced a wavy line along the inside of Merideth's lower leg. Erzebet cut along that line with the knife, and watched critically as the blood flowed in a curving pattern. Merideth gasped at the sudden pain... relatively mild, as the knife was smooth and sharp, and the cut was not deep. Seeming pleased, Erzebet motioned to Lareath, who came and licked the blood from Merideth's leg. Since the cut was not made by fang, his tongue did not heal it, but it did stop the bleeding. Merideth gasped again, this time with the pleasure always felt as one's blood is drunk by a vampire. Lareath kneeled again and awaited Erzebet's next stroke. This time Erzebet chose a small curved knife. She squatted by Merideth's left foot, and winked at Lareath, and said to him, "You should like this one." Merideth squealed as Erzebet dug the curved end of the knife into her big toe under the nail. She groaned as Erzebet did it again on the other side of the same toenail. She screamed as Erzebet yanked the nail off in one piece and placed it on Lareath's tongue for a moment, then tossed it aside. Monica gasped in horror. Erzebet listened to Merideth's moans for a short while, a happy smile on her face, then gestured to Lareath. He started to such on Merideth's toe and her moans once again changed to moans of pleasure.
Artistically symmetrical, Erzebet's next cut echoed the first one, tracing blood down Merideth's right arm in a curve like the cut on her left thigh. Lareath had to strain on tiptoes to reach the top of the cut just below Merideth's elbow, as her arms were raised above her head on the X. Erzebet, noticing, had Dorko bring stepladders for Lareath and herself. Dorko placed one before Merideth and the other before Monica, respectfully not gazing too long at Merideth, but smirking at Monica and groping her. Monica, too aghast to speak, didn't even seem to notice.
Climbing onto the ladder, Erzebet cut away Merideth's thumbnail just as she had the toenail. She smiled at the screams and the drops of blood falling as she climbed down and let Lareath take her place. Erzebet stroked Merideth's bare breasts as Lareath soothed her, licking at her thumb gently. As Lareath was getting down again, Erzebet whispered in Merideth's ear, "Shall I continue?" "ohhh yes," said Merideth, "don't stop now... please Lizzy." Erzebet smiled at Merideth and continued to stroke her. Merideth looked to Lareath. "You missed some, dear" she said to him, pointing downward with her right index finger. The wrist was caught in the manacle so she couldnt point very well. He saw a small pool of Merideth's blood from the thumbnail had fallen. Lareath crouched down and licked up the blood from the floor. Merieth's eyes met Erzebet's as he did this, and they both smiled.
Erzebet walked over and came back to Merideth holding five skewers, each with a diamond-shaped cross section. Noticing Merideth's curious look, Erzebet remarked, "With a round skewer, you can't feel it when I twist" and licked her lips. Merideth moaned quietly in anticipation. Erzebet traced the sharp end of the skewer over Merideth's left breast that she had been stroking with her fingers. She pushed it into the breast diagonally, pointing toward Merideth's navel. Then quickly she stabbed again, crossing the skewers through the breast. Merideth groaned. Erzebet stood back a moment, looking at the effect. "Very nice" she pronounced. She took a third skewer and stabbed it directly into Merideth's nipple, not going in too far but starting a trickle of blood down the center of the breast. Then Erzebet pinched the nipple and held it out, pushing the skewer through just behind it, horizontally. Merideth groaned almost a yell, then quieted. Erzebet had Lareath suck on the bleeding nipple, while Merideth could feel the skewers still in her flesh, the ecstacy washed over her and she sighed, then moaned in pleasure. While Lareath was still sucking, Erzebet came up beside him and twisted the first of the skewers. The feeling seemed to Merideth to intensify her pleasure, she moaned louder. Erzebet pulled Lareath back down and he returned to kneeling beside Merideth. Erzebet still seemed very pleased, and she twisted just a little on the skewer through Merideth's nipple. Merideth gasped. "See what I mean?" asked Erzebet. Merideth nodded eagerly. "We'll leave those in until we're finished," Erzebet said. Merideth was anticipating where the other two skewers would go. Erzebet pinched a bit of her skin at the side of her waist, and pushed one of the skewers through that. She stroked the last one along Merideth's cheek, but seemed to think better of that. "Face later," she pronounced. She put the last skewer through the palm of Merideth's left hand. "mmm... nice religious effect there."
The skewers, in place, didn't hurt that much, as long as they didn't move. Merideth watched while Erzebet selected her next tool, a sharpened fish-hook about the size of Merideth's fist. Erzebet stroked the cool rounded end of it along the tender flesh between Merideth's spread legs. Though it stirred memories of sex, the sensation was only a memory... as a vampire, Merideth's sexual urges were all psychological, not physical. Erzebet pulled Merideth's inner labia taut and pushed the hook through them both. Merideth writhed and screamed. The hook had a little ring at the end, like the dot on a question mark. Erzebet waited until Merideth was past the intensity of her first reaction, and attached a heavy metal ball on a steel spring to the hook. Merideth screamed again as the heavy ball pulled against her. Erzebet lifted the ball so the spring compressed, then dropped it, and it bounced a few times, Merideth's whole body reacting to the sensation as the hook seemed to cut right through her. Erzebet smiled to herself, she'd always liked that effect. And the spring added that little something extra.
Erzebet continued with her art project, sketching her ideas on Merideth's body. When she decided a particular cut was not quite what she had in mind, she fed her own blood to Merideth so Merideth could heal that cut, then tried it over again.
Erzebet had completed the design to her satisfaction, save for one last thing. She asked Merideth to open her mouth. Erzebet with a short, sharp knife, cut shallow cuts in Merideth's gums and sliced open her tongue. As Merideth's mouth filled with blood, Erzebet told Lareath to kiss her. Her blood filled his mouth as their kiss went on and on. "I envy you that kiss," Erzebet purred to Lareath.
By this time, Merideth was near drained, and the taste and smell of her own blood were driving her close to frenzy. Erzebet released Merideth from the X and Lareath helped her down, she nearly Diablerized him on the spot, barely maintaining her control. "Wait, Meri, " said Erzebet, "you'll get all you need from our lovely girl in a few moments." By this time Monica had been gagged, her screams as she watched Erzebet carve Merideth up had been distracting Erzebet from her planning. But now that she had everything sketched out, Erzebet removed the gag; she wanted to hear Monica scream.
