Rachel's apartment was just as trashed as the one she had in the human realm but this one was three bedroom and had a kitchen. high tech gadgets and weapons were scattered all over the place along with money and papers, the shape of a counch could be seen under a pile of cloths in the living room. she hadnt been home in 18 years and obviously no one had cleaned the place
Illiana bent over rachel, Imogen, I didn't want it to be this way, but to get you to be able to help me there is something I need to tell you"
"Imogen i'm your mother, your a half human half vampire. You can do things no vampire can do, and I can't save her without your help, please. Help me save her." She pleaded.
"Well what is it i need to do?" She looked at the person who claimed to be her mother with confusion
"I know it's a lot to ask, but i need you to bite her, just enough to break the skin, your vampire vemon, because it is mixed with human, heals instead of kills. If you bite her it will spread, and in about 30 minutes, she wil be well" Rachel's breathing slowed and her heart nearly stoped, so Illiana peaded "Hurry"
Imogen paniced, she didnt have fangs like the typical vampire she saw...
"i... i..." She flustered as Rachel started to die, her body convulsed reaching out to Imogen helplessly
"Imogen, you don't need fangs, bite her Please!" Her bitter tears stung as they ran down her face, she loved Rachel, more than anything in the world.And she had killed her. Imogen had to hurry, itwas almost too late . She prayed as Imogen quickly bit into rachel, breaking the skin of her friend
Rachel went into violent convulsions as the venom worked its way through her system forcing her body to heal far faster than its natural pace. she gasped painfully and rolled on her side in a little ball
May remained sitting passive after the porting. In rachels old home, covered in blood and eyes hazed over after her rampage. She was in her usuall human cross breed form, her spotted ears twitched but she remained unmoving, staring at rachel as she woman convulsed and curled up.
Rachel eventually went limp on the floor sticky with blood and sweat from her near death experiance, it wasnt the first time she nearly died but each time it was harder to come back
May moved forward in an almost animilistic manner as rachel fell limp and stroked the womans head softly, still just about functioning. Rachel looked up at May, her normally bright green eyes were dull and cold but she managed a weak smile "you look like hell kiddo"
May laughed, her voice rough from the growls and savage attacks "I look better than i feel rachel. And yet i do not remember what i did" she smiled sheepishly "But your all ok so im okay to"
"you killed people kid" Rachel said simply "same as me" she tried to sit up but couldnt because of the pain
Illiana was curled up in a back corner of the room, not wanting to see or hear anything. She wanted to stake herself. She had almost killed Rachel.
Rachel made her slow way across the room and laid down next to Illiana with her head in the vampire's lap like nothing had happened
"Rach," illiana muttered, "I..I"
"no need to talk Illy" Rachel closed her eyes relaxing
Illiana stopped tlaking and laid her head on Rachels. She drifted to a state half awake and half aslepp, she looked around and thought she must be dreaming. It had been years since she'd been to Rachels place. "I love you rachel," She muttered
"I know Illy" Rachel said softly, But Illiana was already asleep, she loved to dream, it was the only time she was really safe. She had a huge amount of pian in her soul for one so young, but you'd never know it
Rachel slept peacefully letting her body heal and Illiana wrapped her arms around her in sleep, subconsusly comforting her friend .Rachel nuzzled into Illiana as she too sought comfort
Illiana woke up, but stayed still,not wanting to brea the soft silence. Then, Rachel woke with a groan of pain and looked around "holy fuck this place is a dump"
"Eh, I've seen worse" Illy chuckled, "Welcome back"
"Good to be back beautiful, hows about helping an old demon sit up for a second?" Rachel's body was in overdrive as she healed and she was hungry for some real food
Illiana smiled and help Rachel sit up, lettig her lean against her as she swore "Oh fuck that hurts" Rachel said as she put pressure on her scythe wounds "you think there's any food left in this place?"
"Fridge" Illiana sid, slowly standing her friend up, "want me to dig up something?"
Rachel leaned heavily on Illiana "if you can find something I havent been here in 18 years, good luck finding anything edible"
"They shopped while you slept, there's plenty" She said smiling, sitting Rachel down at the table.
Rachel grinned "I'm sure they didnt have any trouble finding money around here" she reached under her and pulled out a 100 dollar bill
May's blonde curly hair lay limp around her bruised face. She hadnt healed much in the days they'd been there but that was mainly because she had been working so hard to control her animalistic urges and blood cravings. When rachel awoke May ran about getting some of the fresh food they had brought together and handed it to her master silently so she could hand it to Rachel.
Rachel smiled at May "Hey kiddo, you put up one hell of a fight against those monks" she patted the girl's head with a shaking hand
"She's a hell of a fighter," Illiana smiled, "I'm sorry about the post shift headache, I figured it was worth it." Most creatures weren't able to shift, and whn they did it was murder
"Hey if I remember right a certain someone promised to make food" Rachel looked at Illiana expectantly, few things could dustract a combat weary demon from a meal
"Haha, sorry love" She walked to the fridge and pull edout a carton of eggs, and some bacon, and then she got a box of flour and a bottle of whiskey from a cabnet.
Rachel grinned and snatched the bottle off the table before Illiana could stop her "you always did know the way to my heart" she purred taking a swig
Illiana laughed, 'And that's through your stomach." She started mixing things and snached the bottle, she took a swig before pouring some in the batter. "You and my whiskey biskets. I swear, you eat more of them than some trolls I've met"
"What can I say delicious food combined with good ole fashioned alcohol is the ultimate kryptonite for a humble demon like myself." Rachel chuckled then stopped when a fammilar ache shot through her body "oh fuck" she whispered feeling her second hunger rise despite her body's state
Illiana didn't flinch, she knew what was Rachels problem, but couldn't help at this moment. "Humble, hmm, that's a new one to me" Illiana giggled. Se loved their childish banter
Rachel laid her head on the table feeling the runes on her arm pulse with need "I'm not up to it Illy but it wont go away"
Illiana was begining to feel the effects of Rachels need, her mind began to dip into the dark desire Rachel made her feel. "May, keep an eye on those, don't let them burn please." She stood next to Rachel adn the feeling intensified. "I can help with that" she whispered, her voice husky and yet smooth as silk.
Rachel put her head on the vampire's shoulder before taking Illy's hand in her's, slowly she pushed her friend's hand down her own pants. "touch yourself, please, let me feed for a little bit" she wasnt up to pleasuring anyone herself and she couldnt feed off her own release
Illiana nodded, she laid her lips against Rachel's ear and whispered, "Come with me," Then lead her friend to the rooms they had once shared, and did her best to help ease the hunger. Rachel put her head on Illiana's thigh feeding as the master vampire touched herself, it wasnt as good as feeding directly but it was all she could do
Illiana's mind was far from easy as she attemted to help her friend. She was worried about what she had done. She had almost killed Rachel. Whom, though she would never admit it, she not only lusted after like a high school boy, but thought she might have deeper feeings for. She decided such things were best left for later and began to just enjoy the moment of pleasure
Rachel was panting heavily against the vampire, her skin was hot to the touch and the runes were not only pulsing but moving as well. sharp fangs protruded from between her lips as claw tipped fingers gripped the vampire's hips
As a wave of heat washed ove her Illiana felt Rachels clawed hands bite into her skin. And, instead of bothering her as it would most, it brought her higher into her passion. Between Rachels lush for her lust and her lust for rachel, it was getting very hot in the room.
Rachel's dark power enveloped the vampire heightening the sensations as she fed and soon Illiana was lost in thier world of passion.
When Rachel finished feeding the power disolved leaving the two of them alone. So, lliana laid still, enjoying te lingering sensation.
Rachel looked much healthier than before, the gash from the scythe was now nothing but a scar along with the deep fang holes in her neck. "thanks Illy" she said softly, she leaned over and kissed the vampire's neck submissively. Illiana smiled at her rejuvinated state, "Anytime Rach." She nuzzled the deamons head tenderly
Rachel stroked Illiana's hair for a moment then they went back out into the kitchen to finish the food
Illiana ate silently, she was feeling kinda out since she had thrown up all the blood she had drunk from Rachel. Though she tried to hide it the evr pbservant and perceptive Rachel commented through a big mouthful of biscut "you dont look so good Illy"
"Meh, I'm fine" She lied a little too quickly
"You know you can lie to me master" Rachel said from across the table, this was the first time she acknowledged that the vampire owned her. it was a great honor to have a high ranking demon willingly admit who their master was
Illiana humbled at Rachels addmittance of her power, "I am very weak dear heart." She said final, "I threw p your blood and the rest that was in me, so it is as if I hadn't feed in alomost a month"
Rachel moved to offer her neck knowing the vampire probably wouldnt take it. She was rihg and Illiana shivered, her mind flashing bck to the night and she tried not to cringe away, "Rachel, I..I c.." SHe stammered, her eyes takig a faraway loook
"Then go hunt like you used to, you need to feed" Rachel said sounding despret
"I can last a few more hours" She siad softly, "I can, I've gone a long time before" She stood up and knew she looked paler and thiner than she had a moment ago. She was waneing fast
Rachel shook her head "your strength is my strength master you need to feed" she laid her head on Illiana's back between her shoulder blades and Illiana tried not to fall, the small pressure almost knocked her off her feet. "I almost killed you Rachel. I see your dying face everytime I try"
"I'm fine Illy dont worry" Rachel offered her neck once more hoping her friend would give in Illiana tried to say no, but the smell of Rahcels blood, plsing just below the surface was too much
Rachel sat on the floor with Illiana at her back feeding from the opposite side of her neck, the demoness was completely passive under the vampire's hands leaning on her
Illiana took only what she needed and pulled away, "Thank you Rachel" she said
"'s no prollum Illy" Rachel slured pleasurably still leaning on the vampire comfortably
Illiana sat down with a fluid grace, her arms around Rachel so she didn't fall while the deamoness dozed happily on the vampire for about 5 minutes while her body recovered. Illiana enjoyed Rachels presance now that she felt whole
Rachel opened her eyes after 5 minutes and smiled at the vampire "I hope you didnt use up all my whiskey angel fangs because after that I need a drink"
"Haha, would I do that to you?" She asked smileing like a schoolgirl
"the first month we lived together you made me stay sober" Rachel reminded her laughing
"Ok true" She laughed, "But besides that"
"I still dont understand why you did that" Rachel said slowly sitting up
"To be quite honest, i forget" Illiana lauhged at herself as she slowly stood
The two went into the kitchen once more to find it empty. Rachel found some tea and brewed them both a mug. They sat side by side on the floor, backs to the sink with mugs in hand. Illiana leaned her head on Rachels sholder adn sighed
"we havent sat like this in a long time eh" Rachel chuckled taking another drink of tea
"Not for...god...10 years at least" Illiana sid, "Damn, now I feel old. Or I would If I were human anyway" She giggled
"you feel old, I'm fast approaching 500 I was seasoned long before I met you" Rachel laughed pouring a second cup of tea
"This is true, but you live a longer life than me too" Illiana said feighting annoyance
"not really, I'm supposed to be dead five times over by now" Rachel said facting a matter of fact attitude
"Well then, even?" She asked extending a hand
"I still say I win" Rachel said sticking her forked tounge out with a smile
Illian laughed, "Sure sure"
Rachel shifted closer to to Illiana enjoying the contact brought by the fammilar vampire and Illiana wrapped her arms around Rachel and held tight, she missed this, the playfulness
"its been too long Illiana, Imogen was worth it but I've still missed this" Rachel nuzzled into her lover's neck purring happily. few succubi had one mate to feed their hunger but she was happy with her arrangement
"I missed it too, I missed how carefree we used to be before we got caught up i working" She sighed, "Rachel, I hate to ruin a moment...but..." she took a deep breath, mentally prepering herself and Rachel turned and looked at Illiana recognizing the suddenly serious tone
"I won't make you choose" Illiana blurted, abandoning the well thought out words in her head
"I choose you, always and forever" Rachel replied without even having to think
Illiana was shoced, she had thougt Rachell was in love with Imogen. She knew Rachel was probbably refrering to their friendship, but she was still surprised
"I think of that girl as my kid I'd feel guilty feeding off her" Rachel nuzzled into Illianas's arm
Illiana didn't speak, she dared hope that maybe she had a shot. "You shouldn't feel guilty"
"I pretty much raised her while you were off securing your power here, not even a lust demon will feed from its young" Rachel kissed Illiana's cheek
Illiana smiled, She might just get her wish. "I'm still sorry I left you"
"dont be sorry they needed you here" Rachel smiled, true she had been lonely while Illiana was away but she wasnt mad at the vampire
Illiana smiled, "You know, Rachel. Theres something I've kinda always wanted to do...." Illiana looked at the floor, not makeing her eyes
"whats that Angel Fangs" Rachel said using her high school nickname for the vampire
Illiana smiled, and slowly leaned forward a bit, "I want to know.." Seh leaned more, "What it's like," she was a breath away, "To kiss you with love, not passion" and she gently and hesitantly brushed her lips against Rachels, as nervious and hesitant as a first kiss
Rachel pressed back filling the kiss with all the love her lust filled heart was able to produce, love was a rare emotion in her kind that wasnt highly valued
Illiana knew it was hard for Rachel to feel love. Her kind didn't base much on it. But she did, and with all her heart she wanted Rachel to love her
Rachel held Illiana close and for the first time she kissed her without thinking of sex
Illiana let her body relax into Rachels arms. She felt better than she ever had. She felt a sence of belonging. She hadn't a single thought of sex, or blood, on her mind.
Rachel pulled away sightly breathless "so thats what its like to kiss without the hunger, it feels more real and meaningful"
Illiana nodded her agreement. "I don't know what that feeling was, I've never...never had that before" She sighed, soft and sweet. "Rachel...I..."
"I like it Illy" Rachel reached over and took a swig of her long forgotten tea
Illiana stopped, her words half out of her mouth, "I like it too Rach" She said softly and kindly, not lettin gon what she was really about to say
Rachel sensed Illiana wanted to say something more but she was scared that the vampire was going to confess her love, being a lust demon she knew nothing of love and didnt want to lie
Illiana kept her voice silent and her eyes warm, she didn't want to hurt the deamon she cared for,and she didn't want to make her uncomfortable. She knew how she felt. and Rachel...well...Rachel could find out in time
Rachel tried her best over the years to feel love for the vampire but love was hard for her, she thought she felt it but she wasnt sure and didnt want to lie. But Illiana just leaned her head on Rachles shoulder, feeling content
Rachel leaned her head on Illiana's sighing "how long are we going to be hiding here Illy? the realms are ripping further apart each day"
"We'll have to do something soon" Illiana sid, wishing she could just forget the realms andthe wars and the responsability and just sleep ,sleep safe for a hundered years
"we can get Imogen to the temple in about two weeks but getting there without being noticed wont be easy" Rachel sighed
Illana agreed ad tried to think a way out of this, like she had countless times
Rachel took her cup of tea into the living room throwing the dirty cloths off the couch so the two of them could sit and watch tv together. SHe sat and Illiana curled up with her head in Rachels lap, a massive migrane coming on. Rachel rested the palm of her hand on top of Illiana's head turning the tv onto one of the music stations that was playing light classical music. Illiana closed her eyes and let the music and contentmnt fill her
Rachel slid down the couch so she was sleeping against her lover
