By Nuit du Loup
“Janet, would you please stop fidgeting back there?”
Janet sighed resignedly at both the amusement and the admonishment in her mother’s voice. Her hands plucked at the long black and white skirt she was wearing in a desultory fashion. She really didn’t like wearing skirts and dresses, even when they looked good on her, like her current outfit did. As far as clothing went, she was definitely a tomboy. She was wishing now for a warm and comfortable pair of her jeans.
Her top she didn’t mind as much. She was wearing a white undershirt and a red cardigan that felt very cozy with the winter cold outside. On her feet were real dress shoes. She hadn’t worn an outfit like this in almost a year, and that had been at her cousin’s wedding. She itched to take it all off.
That made her smile. There were people she certainly wouldn’t mind helping her with that task. It buoyed her spirits immensely to think about the others. She would be seeing them very soon.
“That’s a much better face,” her mom joked from the passenger seat up front. She was turned slightly so she could look into the back seat of her father’s sedan. Her father also wore a wide smile but he was paying attention to the road. “I thought you said that all four of you agreed over the phone to dress up nice tonight for each other?”
“We did,” Janet replied patiently. “But you know how much I usually avoid wearing anything resembling a skirt. They only exist to look good and it’s hard to do anything fun in them.”
“Then why did you agree to it?”
“Because,” she sighed again, “it’s really hard to say no to Krista when she gets so excited about something. Even over the phone I could picture that smile of hers and I just couldn’t do it. Ally didn’t help matters either once she broke in. I could hear her bouncing up and down on Aina’s bed!”
“I’m interested in meeting this new girl,” dad said in great amusement.
“Well, she’ll be there,” Janet snorted and idly touched her hair. Her mother had very carefully braided it after her shower and she was very grateful for that. Her hair was the one thing she liked to maintain. “It sounded like she’s still doing well. Aina drafted her into helping with the dinner preparations, so she’s been busy.”
“Hard work is always a good cure for keeping your mind off of something unpleasant,” mom said sagely.
“Maybe,” Janet agreed. “But I think a big part of Aina’s decision came from her desire to make sure Ally is nearby. She’s very protective of us. Though, I can understand that sentiment a little. I really didn’t want to leave her yesterday either, and I know Krista is still very worried about her.”
“It’s so sad that something like that happened to a girl your age.”
“Yeah, but she’s got a lot of people loving on her,” Janet smiled. “She’s got us, her aunt, and her two cousins and I think her aunt is married so she’s got an uncle I’ve never met too.”
“I suppose,” mom replied. “But she was the one who suggested dressing up?”
“Kind of, I guess she really lit up this morning when Aina was showing Ally her clothes, to see what would look good on her. It seems she really likes wearing nice dresses and things like that. Then Krista, who also likes feminine things, practically pounced on the idea with both hands. I think those two are going be really good shopping buddies at clothing stores in the future.”
“As opposed to you, who is perfectly fine with jeans and a tank top,” mom chuckled. “But you look very nice tonight, dressed like this.”
“I know it looks nice,” Janet grinned back. “But I’m just glad I won’t be the only one in this particular boat. Aina isn’t very big on these kinds of clothes either. She said she prefers to look at girls wearing nice things, as opposed to wearing them herself, though that statement doesn’t help me any.”
“Because now you know Aina will probably enjoy seeing you dressed like this?” mom chortled. “I almost miss being a teenager. Things like this are so much more interesting at your age.”
“I don’t know about that,” dad interrupted with a laugh. “Why, just last summer—”
“Scott!” mom barked in a surprised shout of warning.
“Fine, fine, I won’t tell our daughter about that racy swimsuit you bought.”
Janet burst into laughter at the look on mom’s face. It must have been some swimsuit because her cheeks were very red and she had turned to look straight out of the windshield. She thought back and realized it must have happened during that week he and mom had gone off for a little vacation together while she stayed with her grandfather. She also wondered what kind of swimsuit she could get that would impress her girlfriends and the thought of Krista in a bikini made her mouth water.
She didn’t have much of a chest to show off yet, but that hadn’t been a problem so far. She could still remember the look on Aina’s face the very first she had seen her naked and it always filled her with warmth. Krista’s awed smile had been very nice too and she had loved how responsive Ally had been when they had showered together. So maybe she could get her mom to buy her something that showed off her butt, since it seemed to be one of her high points.
“Well, here we are,” dad said as they pulled into the cul-de-sac that contained Aina’s current home. She couldn’t wait until Aina’s place was within easy walking distance of her house. Dad turned the car through the loop of pavement and up into Aina’s driveway. The only car that was there so far belonged to Aina’s mother, so that meant they were the first to arrive.
As soon as the car settled to a complete stop, she whipped her seatbelt off and popped open her door. Evening winter wind blew right into her face as she stood and it made her eyes water for a moment. She blinked them clear and walked quickly up the cleared concrete drive and up to the front door.
“Janet, wait for us!” her mother chided from behind.
Impatiently, she bounced on her toes in front of the door. She knew she was being a bit childish, but it was hard to wait when she knew that right on the other side of this door was two people that made her heart beat faster with excitement and anticipation. Almost as soon as her parents stood on the front porch with her, the door swung open without her knocking on it and a girl with sapphire-blue eyes and really pretty blond hair that was tucked back behind her cute ears, smiled at her in greeting.
Janet’s mouth went a little dry as she took Ally’s appearance in. She was dressed in a black, short-sleeved dress that showed off the calves of her nice legs and came in tight at the top to show the buds of her curves. Her hair had been styled too. But the best thing of all was that Ally wore a gorgeously happy smile on those small lips of hers and none of the haunted sadness was present.
“Ally!” the excitement inside her came to the surface and she threw her arms around the other girl. Slim arms accepted her gladly. They were of a similar height, so it seemed that the perfect thing to do was to kiss Ally, so she did. Ally giggled into the kiss at first, but she did return it. But before they got too carried away, a cough sounded behind her.
“Sorry,” Janet grinned at Ally, whose cheeks were flushed nicely. “These are my parents.” She turned to let them introduce themselves.
“Just call me Jennifer,” mom said with laughter in her voice, shaking Ally’s hand.
“Scott,” dad did the same. “It’s lovely to meet you.”
“Nice to meet you too,” Ally responded brightly. “Come on in. Aina and her mom are finishing a few things in the kitchen, so I get to play greeter.”
Seeming as if she’d done it a zillion times before, Ally smoothly took her parent’s winter coats from them and then hers and hung them all up. As she did this Janet noticed that there was a cutout in the black dress that showed off a lot of the smooth, pale expanse of Ally’s back. Janet itched to touch it and run her hands over it. Ally had really nice skin.
“You’re looking very pretty, Ally,” she said, indicating both her clothes and her person. “Have you been doing better today?”
“Very much so!” Ally said happily, turning towards them again with a wide smile. “I took a really relaxing bath this morning, and even though she didn’t want to get in the water, Aina still helped with the washing part while we talked. Then we were busy all day cleaning and cooking and all sorts of things. I haven’t had two seconds to feel sad about anything!”
“Why doesn’t she want to get in the water?” Mom asked curiously.
“She says that since she can’t feel the temperature anymore that the tub of water acts more like a sensory deprivation tank and it creeps her out. She doesn’t mind showers at all because the water hitting her skin hard still feels good, but baths are out.”
“That’s a bummer,” Janet mused. “I love baths.”
“Me too!” Ally readily agreed, her cheeks flushing. “Now come on, Aina’s probably wondering what I’m doing, keeping you all standing around.”
“No I’m not!”
Janet snapped her gaze over along with Ally and they both saw Aina come walking out of the kitchen doorway. An amused smile lifted the corners of her lips and again Janet had to stare. Aina was wearing a white, Chinese cheongsam with a black pattern of flowers going up it at an angle from right to left. Long slits went up both sides and Janet was forced to wonder if Aina was wearing panties at all. But it was made of silk and it formed very nicely to her nubile body. It made Janet a little wet to look at the sight and Aina wrinkled her nose once with a widening smile to show that she knew and took it a big compliment.
“Wow, Aina, that is some dress!” Mom said. Even she looked a little flushed and Dad looked a little awed.
“I got it after that dinner thing at your house Janet,” Aina smirked, and Janet swore that Aina actually seemed to be a little embarrassed. “Since the dress I wore that night seemed to go so well, I thought I’d give them another chance. I was helping my mom shop for her date and I saw this at an import store.”
“I called it the peek-a-boo dress,” Ally giggled. “Because I keep trying to get a peek through the legs slits. It’s been driving me crazy ever since she put it on.”
“How did you get your mother to buy that?” Mom asked.
“Her mother was sunk as soon as she saw her stunning daughter wearing it in the fitting room,” Aina’s mom said as she exited the kitchen as well, a wide smile on her face. “Its good to see you again Jennifer, is Scott here too?”
“Sure am,” he replied politely back, stepping around mom and into Raina’s view.
Aina’s mother glided into the room, drying her hands with a small towel. Like her parents, she was dressed in a semi-formal manner with slacks and a nice shirt. But her hair was done up very nicely. When she approached, she threw the towel over one shoulder to shake her parents’ hands.
“Thanks for coming,” she smiled happily. Janet had noticed long ago that Aina’s mom was a very gentle woman and prone to easy smiles, but with an inner strength that had helped to raise Aina to what she was now. Both those parts were visible tonight. “Dinner is all set, so all we need is the rest of our guests.”
Almost as soon as she said this, both Ally and Aina turned simultaneously towards the door. Both smiled widely but Ally hurried over to do her assigned job. She opened the door again and on the other side were Ally’s Aunt and cousins. A handsomely dressed man stood next to Mrs. Maviers. He was fairly tall with light-brown hair that was combed and teased with hair gel. On his broad, but not unattractive face was a tasteful goatee. This had to be Ally’s uncle.
“Ally! You’re so pretty!” Larissa enthused, grabbing her cousin into a tight hug.
“Gerri, welcome back,” Aina’s mother said in greeting, striding over to greet the new arrivals. “Is this your husband?”
“Arnold,” he said, extending a big hand. “I must thank you for taking care of my niece so well.”
“I mostly just provided my home and some food,” Raina laughed. “My daughter and the other girls did all the hard work. Aina?”
Aina approached the man and in that dress, with her hair smoothly brushed out, she looked like a queen instead of a twelve year old vampire girl. It gave her a regal air and the man seemed to pick up on some of it. Either that or he was just a very polite man towards women, because he actually raised her hand a little when he took it and bowed his head towards her.
“Then you have my thanks as well young lady,” he said. “How are you doing Ally? I’ve missed you.”
Aina separated from the man and came back over to stand politely next to Janet. Like Ally had mentioned, Janet kept getting very enticing glimpses from Aina’s dress of her legs, but she saw now from the side that there was a separate and much smaller inner panel of white cloth that protected any nicer bits from showing.
“I’m doing pretty well, Uncle Arnold,” Ally said from the now three-way hug both cousins were trying to give her while she fought to keep her dress unwrinkled. “I’ve been feeling a lot better every day.”
“Which I am very glad to hear,” Mrs. Maviers said in visible relief.
They all came inside and out of the cold. Then it was Janet and her parents’ turn to greet them. Her mother knew the principle from past parent-teacher conferences and it seemed they got on pretty well. Dad and Ally’s uncle sized each other up like men often do, then decided that, without saying a word, they could be friends and shook on it. Men were so odd sometimes. It took them all of five minutes to exchange names, professions and to get right on to discuss the event of the night.
“They’re so weird,” she commented to Aina.
Aina shrugged. “They seem to be enjoying themselves though, so it’s all good. Tonight’s supposed to be fun.”
“Oh, I’m having fun!” Janet laughed, looking over Aina’s dress again pointedly.
Aina rolled her eyes, but she looked happy. “We need to move over by the door again.”
So they walked over as the adults all moved deeper into the living room. The conversations all seemed upbeat and cheerful, but Janet thought it was funny how quick the men were to separate off a little from the three women. It was like being in school.
“Who is that just pulled in?” Ally asked, having conceded finally to the arms her cousins had put around her.
“I see Aina has been showing you a few tricks,” Triela chuckled. “We’ll go join mom and the others, and let you three get back to work. I’m glad you’re doing so much better Ally.”
They separated from Ally and as promised they went to join the conversation that was quickly picking up steam. Janet was curious to know what they were talking about, but Aina was reaching for the door. She opened it just as a youngish woman with an impressive chest and another women right behind her that was even more so, walked up. She remembered the first woman clearly.
“Danni!” the woman was much taller than Aina, so she had to bend over to give her friendly hug. When they separated, Aina turned and gestured. “Ally, this is Danni. She’s a very good friend of me and my mom. The other woman is Casey, her girlfriend.”
“Nice to meet you, Ally,” Danni smiled. “And Janet, it’s good to see you again.”
The chestier woman with the glasses moved in next and also gave Aina a quick hug. “Amazing dress, Aina,” the woman said cheerfully. Then looked at her and Ally. “You guys are all so cute!”
She was really friendly, but wow. For someone that looked so bookish and professional on the outside, she seemed really young when she spoke. She and Danni both moved into the house quickly and another round of cheerful introductions got underway with the adults. Janet reached out to close the door again, but she stopped when she saw a new looking car roll up to a stop against the curb in front of the house.
Since this was supposed to be the last car, Janet felt a flutter of excitement again. The two passenger side doors opened and from the front stood Tina. Like the four of them, Tina had also decided to look nice tonight. She was wearing a red, strapped dress that looked great with her dark hair. But what drew Janet and other two girls next to her was who stepped out of the back.
Dressed in a sleek black skirt and a very stylish green sweater that almost matched her eyes, was Krista, and she smiled widely as she made her way up to the door to them. She passed Tina by at a fast walk and when she reached the door it was a race to see who embraced her first. Janet somehow won and she loved the sound of Krista’s pleased laugh in her ear. Then the other two had their arms around them both so that they made a big, giggling clump in the doorway.
“Wow, you guys really went all out!” Krista said enthusiastically.
Now that they were all together again, there was a feeling of completeness. It just felt good to have the three of them touching her at the same time and her them. She felt a huge urge just to start kissing them. But they were blocking the door and people were coming.
“Alright, I get it, you’re in love!” teased Tina as she walked up to the door.
Aina pulled away from where she had been embracing Krista from behind and quirked an amused eyebrow at the young woman. “We aren’t the only ones who dressed nice tonight,” she pointed out.
“Meaning?” Tina retorted good naturedly.
“Meaning my mom is in the living room and I can already see that she’s dying to get over here and see you,” Aina returned.
“Oh, can’t have that!” Tina laughed. “I think I’ll just head over and check on her then.”
“You do that,” Aina smiled back.
Janet watched in great amusement as Tina made sure, one more time, that she looked perfect, and then slipped in through the door. Across the room, Aina’s mother perked up like a little kid at Christmas. It was funny how at times adults were exactly like them.
“Good evening,” the clearly spoken contralto brought her attention back to the door. Coming up the walk towards them was an attractive but mature woman that looked to be in her early-to-mid forties. She was still slim and in shape though, and she wore a business-like suite as if it was as comfortable as her favorite pajamas. She had a face very much like Tina’s, but more experienced with life and her dark hair was tied back in a tasteful knot.
Next to her was a skinny, but very attractive teenager. She wore a black skirt and black top that leaned a little towards gothic fashion. But she wore a cheerful smile on a remarkably pretty face. A silver necklace graced her slim neck and hung down into the open gap between her small breasts. Janet guessed that was the whole purpose of the chain and shirt, to draw the eye were the girl wanted you to look.
“You would be Aina then?” the older woman asked as they all separated a little to be more polite. Janet found herself standing next to Ally again and was tempted to put her arms around the other girl.
“I am,” Aina replied cordially. “And this is Janet and Ally.”
“Lovely to meet you all,” she said, sounding perfectly truthful. “I’m Tina’s mother, Agnes Donello, and this is my youngest daughter, Natalie.”
“Hi’ya!” Natalie said enthusiastically. Her eyes were extremely curious. “So, none of you are human?!”
“Natalie! That’s rude!” Ms. Donello said in quick reprimand.
“It doesn’t bother me,” Janet said with a shrug. “It’s true, so it’s not insulting to say it.”
“So cool,” Natalie laughed in delight. “My sister said you guys were interesting, and she was right I think. Are you all really only in middle school?”
“Yeah, we’re all about the same age,” Krista answered. “I’m only the oldest by five months ahead of Janet.”
“Do you want to stay here and chat with the girls, Natalie?” Agnes asked. “I really do need to meet your sister’s girlfriend before Tina thinks I’m not interested and gets all worked up about it when it’s not true at all.”
“Yeah, go ahead. Do you guys mind?”
“Not at all,” Aina smiled. “This is a dinner party for everyone. We can head to the kitchen and talk there until the adults are ready to come and eat.
“Cool!”
They closed and locked the door shut, and then all five of them filed through the living room. Janet was already enjoying the festive atmosphere and Ally took her hand as they walked back. It hadn’t even been a conscious gesture and that made it all the nicer. They had simply walked side by side and it felt as natural to do so as breathing. This was why the party was already a success in her eyes. So she was looking forward to the rest of the night.
******
“So, how did it go with the house hunting?” Gerri asked.
“Janet told me about that.” Jennifer inquired in some surprise. “What’s wrong with this one? Or are you moving away?!”
“It’s nothing like that,” Raina laughed at her friend’s worried tone. “I could never do that to the girls.”
“Then you found a way around your mother?” Danni guessed. She was standing with Casey and the others had accepted the two women warmly. It helped that Casey was such a natural people person.
“That’s right,” Raina nodded. “Gerri referred a real estate specialist to me and I found that there were a number of houses I was capable of buying in this area thanks to various circumstances.”
“What does your mother have to do with anything?” Jennifer sounded confused. Raina explained everything to her and she appreciated the outrage on her face when she was finished. “She’s your own mother, for God’s sake!” she huffed. “It’s just wrong.”
“But it’s not a problem anymore!”
They all turned slightly towards the front door and Raina felt her heart beat a little faster. Tina approached, wearing a gorgeous red dress that accented her body perfectly, and she felt a little weak in the knees from her smile. It also made her wish that she had dressed a little better herself, but it was too late for that.
“O’ho!” Jennifer laughed. “I see you two are still together?”
“It’s good to see you too, Jennifer,” Tina replied. “And yes, we most certainly are.” She turned and held out a hand towards Danni and Casey. “I haven’t met you yet, but I’m Tina.”
“The infamous girlfriend,” Danni grinned. “I’m Danni.”
“Casey, her girlfriend,” Casey said cheerily with a jerk of her thumb towards Danni.
“Did you miss me yet?” Tina asked, turning towards her again, “even though I was only gone for one day?”
“I’ve been keeping busy, but it was a bit lonely,” Raina replied and they shared a quick, chaste kiss. “I’m glad you’re back though.”
“It’s not just me,” Tina said and her cheeks colored. “Look behind me.”
Raina looked back in the direction of the door and saw what she should have seen a minute ago. Seeing Tina had blinded her to the fact that there was an older woman approaching. Behind her she saw the girls were walking in a group towards the kitchen with a young teenager that looked like a skinnier and younger Tina. The woman was looking right at her and Tina in an appraising manner.
“You must be Tina’s mother,” Raina said a bit nervously. The woman had to be at least a decade her senior, not even counting that she might be a lot more than that since she wasn’t human. “Welcome to my home and thanks for coming to the dinner party.”
“How could I not come?” the woman asked, looking amused. “Once Tina told me she had chosen someone, I knew I had to meet her. My name is Agnes. I heard that this won’t be your house much longer.”
“That’s true,” she agreed. “As we were just talking about, and Tina probably mentioned, I bought my own house. It won’t be official until Monday and all the paperwork goes where it needs to go, but the burden of this place will soon be gone.” She reached into the right pocket of her dress slacks and drew out a small ring with a set of keys on it and held them out to Tina.
“What are these?” Tina asked, taking them. Then her eyes widened. “But you just said…”
“I said it’s not entirely official yet,” Raina smiled. “But the house now belongs to me and mine, which most certainly includes you. When I signed for the deed I requested that multiple duplicates of the keys be made for everyone who will live in or frequent the place. Aina will be giving the others to the rest of the girls.”
“Good, she’ll finally be out of my hair,” Agnes chuckled, “though her younger sister, Natalie, will probably be unhappy with the news that her older sister is moving out.”
“She’s free to visit whenever she likes,” Raina answered amiably.
“Sounds like you’re starting your own clan or something,” Danni laughed.
“There’s enough room in my new house to get a good start on one,” Raina agreed easily and laughed hard when Danni gave her a look. “But the house is going to be a busy one from the sound of things. It’s right near your place Jennifer.”
“I know,” Jennifer rolled her eyes. “Janet was quite overjoyed by that fact. She kept last night’s dinner conversation full with all sorts of possibilities it offered.”
“So you’re the mother of the young lady with the braids?” Agnes asked.
“Yeah, that was my Janet,” Jennifer grinned. “I’m Jennifer.”
“So the other girl, the blond one, is yours then?” Anges asked Gerri.
“No, these two,” she gestured at Triela and Larissa, “are mine. Ally is my niece. But I am her legal guardian along with my husband. I’m Gerri…”
The rest of the introductions went smoothly on, and Raina felt content inside. Her social life had been a nearly dead thing up until a month ago. Now she had all sorts of new friends in her home having pleasant conversations. Not only that, she had a girlfriend that she loved dearly and a daughter that seemed to be happier than she’d ever seen. She didn’t like to think of the attack that had changed Aina as a blessing, but the end results have been stunning.
Conversation continued to flow, and after about thirty minutes or so it seemed as they’d all known each other forever. It was strange at first, talking with Tina’s mother so casually while she had an arm around the woman’s daughter, but she didn’t seem bothered by it at all. Phone numbers were exchanged all around too once everyone was comfortable.
She was also aware of occasional bursts of the girlish laughing from the kitchen. She didn’t know what they were doing, but she was glad they were having a good time too. Later on she would have to properly introduce herself to Tina’s younger sister and make sure that the girl understood she was always welcome to see her older sister whenever she wanted to. But for now, it was time to get dinner started.
******
Ally felt a warm glow of pride in her heart as all the adults and her cousin’s joined them in the kitchen for the meal. Everyone but Raina, who had already seen the kitchen, murmured with appreciation as they took in what she and Aina had prepared. Aina’s mother had cooked the food, but the two of them had been responsible for setting up the rest.
Raina had rented a couple of tables and a bunch of chairs from a catering service, since apparently companies like that did such things often when people had parties. So she and Aina had chosen some real, cotton tablecloths that were a wonderful wine-red color to put over them. The tables were set up so that the adults were together at one set while the younger girls were at another. They barely fit it all into the kitchen, but they’d done it.
They had also scrounged up some polished brass candle holders and white candles that fit in them. Raina said that she didn’t remember when she had gotten them, but they looked really nice with the settings of white carnations and other flowers she and Aina had also chosen when they stopped by a florist after some last minute shopping.
Cloth napkins they’d dug up out of a box in the basement sat at each place setting along with the silverware, plates and glasses. Down the center of each table sat beverage containers of lemonade, pop and water; and she knew there was also wine in buckets of ice if any of the adults wanted some.
On the counters and stove was an enormous amount of food. There were loaves of freshly baked cardamom bread that filled the air with a spiced smell that made her tummy rumble. Various fruits and vegetable dishes were also in attendance. In the pan on the oven was the roast and potatoes. Just the thought of all that food was enough to make her salivate, and she’d smelled it all day as it cooked. It was almost enough to be called torture when she was also hungry for blood.
Aina had promised her this morning during her bath that it would be taken care of tonight too. But she hoped that her cousin’s wouldn’t be too freaked out by it all. They were likely the only people she’d be able to feed from in the near future since they had to be careful how often they took blood from Janet, Krista and Aina’s mother. Aina said that the feeding felt really good and she was praying that it was so. But now was not the time to worry. They were supposed to be having fun.
“This is quite a spread Raina!” Janet’s mother said as she sat down next to her husband. Ally noted that everyone made sure that the places next to Raina were clear for Tina and her mother. Natalie had joined them at the younger girls’ table along with her cousins who already knew the teenager and greeted her warmly. Apparently they had a number of classes together.
“It was well worth the effort of putting it all together,” Raina answered happily. “Though Ally and Aina did a lot of the grunt work.”
“Isn’t that why people have kids in the first place?” Uncle Arnold joked. “I know mine make for great dishwashers and lawn mowers.
“Ha ha, dad,” Larissa grinned. “I worry about what you’ll do when Triela and I graduate and move out.”
“Well, just let me light the candles to properly set the mood and well start serving,” Raina said, smiling wide.
“I’ve got it!” Krista said eagerly, standing up. She opened her hand and a small flame appeared on one fingertip. It leapt through the air onto the nearest candle and its wick lit. Then it hopped around the room from candle to candle, lighting them as it went. When it was done, it returned to Krista and it vanished after she closed and then opened her hand.
“Thank you Krista!” Raina said appreciably.
“No problem!”
“Well…” Raina glanced around to make sure everything was in place. “Let’s eat!”
As soon as she said this, dishes blinked away on the counter into shadows and reappeared in various places on the table. Ally was sitting between Janet and Triela and they both twitched as a bowl of sweet potatoes appeared in front of them. Ally just smiled at Aina’s antics and scooped herself some. Since she didn’t eat, Aina was acting as a combination of host and waitress. She went around and made sure everyone had something to drink and that the food kept getting passed around.
Ally wished she’d sit and join them, but Aina was really into the role and she doing really well at it. So she dug into her food and ate. Like with everything Raina cooked, it all tasted amazing and it showed where Aina got her own talents in that area, even if Raina insisted Aina would one day be even better than she was. Ally just appreciated their efforts and enjoyed the flavors in her mouth since she had to make her own portions small due to her new condition. Aina also kept checking on the apple cobblers and blueberry pies in the oven as she went so the desserts wouldn’t burn.
“So, you’ve been enjoying your time here the last couple of days?” Triela asked between bites.
“It’s been awesome,” Ally answered eagerly and gestured with her hand toward Janet. “They’ve been really good to me.”
“We try,” Janet grinned and then leaned over and playfully pecked her on the cheek. “Ally’s a lot of fun.”
“See?” Ally said, rubbing her cheek to make sure Janet hadn’t left food behind.
“Yeah I do, but Larissa and I were curious,” she cousin said, pointing at them with a mandarin orange slice speared by a fork. “Do you like it? Being with girls I mean.”
Ally felt her cheeks warm and color at the question, but it was loud enough in the room that Janet and Larissa were probably the only ones who heard it. “At first I was a little confused,” she answered. “But, I love being with them. It just feels perfect. I don’t think I could ever consider anything else now. It also feels great to wake up and feel that one of them is touching me and nearby.”
“I’m just that good,” Janet joked, but she was blushing and smiling proudly. “Ally’s one of us now and we all enjoyed having her join us. I even asked my mom if we could join in with Aina’s plan.”
“Which plan?” They all looked up, seeing Aina standing behind them with an amused grin. She placed a hand on Janet’s and her shoulders in an affectionate gesture.
“The one where Ally’s comes over to your place after school,” Janet said. “Krista and I want to want to be a part of it too.”
Ally felt a pleasant twinge between her legs at Aina’s joyful smile. “Of course you guys can come by and be involved, that’s why I said earlier that I have keys to the new house for all of you. Right Ally?”
“Yeah, I’d miss you guys too much otherwise,” Ally agreed immediately. Her body tingled at the thought of having her new girlfriends around all the time. She kind of wished they were alone now so she could kiss them all in thanks again.
“You guys are so cute,” Triela chortled and munched on some sweet potato. “I kind of wish I had someone too. But I have a horrible talent when it comes to judging guys. They’ve all been jerks so far.”
“Sorry, can’t help you there,” Aina laughed in apology.
Ally felt that this was the perfect time to remind Aina about what else she needed. “Aina?”
“Hmm?” Aina raised one eyebrow.
“When are we going to…you know? I’m starting to feel really hungry for it.”
Triela looked at them oddly. “What do you need Ally?”
“She needs to drink blood, and so do I,” Aina answered, and then turned to her. “I was hoping that we could take care of that after everyone has finished eating. When all the adults head into the living room, I was thinking that you, Triela, and your sister might help us out with this.”
“Me?!” Triela’s eyes opened wide.
Aina smiled. “I know that it was your sister that volunteered initially, but it would be preferable and healthier if you shared the task. But today it’s so that I can demonstrate to Ally how to do it on someone and to show you that it’s not dangerous so that when she feeds on her own, so you won’t freak out.”
“You should listen to her,” Janet suggested knowingly. “I’ve done it and I’m just fine. It feels amazing too and not scary at all.”
“Then I suppose it’s alright with me,” Triela said slowly. “But let me ask Larissa.” She turned in her seat. “Sis?”
“Yeah, I heard most of that,” Larissa answered, turning from her conversation with Natalie to answer them. “Count me in.” Then she turned back, and apologized politely for the distraction.
“Then it looks like we’re good, Ally,” Aina smiled and then flicked her eyes over to the other table. “Oh, they’re out of lemonade again, pardon me.”
Ally grinned happily as Aina glided smoothly over to the refrigerator. It felt nice that Aina had already been planning ahead. She also appreciated what her cousins were doing. “Thanks Triela,” she said aloud.
“Thank me later,” Triela smiled. “Now let me eat before it gets cold on my plate.”
“I wish I could do it for you, Ally,” Janet sighed. “But mom talked to one of the new specialist doctors for advice and he said that with my body mass that I should wait ten days or so between “donations” of that size.”
“Next time then?” Ally asked hopefully.
“Definitely,” Janet quickly and joyfully promised. “It’s her mom’s turn next, so I’m pretty sure I’ll be available for you.”
The rest of the meal passed by and Ally loved every minute of it. They all got to know Tina’s sister better, which was cool. She was very talkative and Ally was sure that despite the slight age gap, she would be their friend after this. Also, as things progressed, the conversations grew livelier and freer as the food ran down.
A funny moment came later on when the pies were served. For the second time in one night, Aina actually seemed to be embarrassed, when everyone complimented her on them, after Raina announced that her daughter had actually made them by herself. They were really good pies and almost everyone had a second piece so that they could try the other kind. Ally was one of them and she took some gentle ribbing from Janet about the bluish stain on her light colored lips from the blueberries.
Eventually though, everyone was full and happy. At which point Raina announced that everyone should move into the living room, and it was met by a pleasant murmur of assents from the adults. As they all stood to go, Aina gestured for everyone at their tables to remain seated.
“Mom,” Aina said.
“Yes Aina?” she said as she turned around.
“Ally and I need to take care of our other need first; we’ll just be a few minutes, alright?”
“I understand,” she nodded. Aunt Gerri and Uncle Arnold both paused at this, but Raina spoke something softly to them. Then they nodded and left with everyone else. After they were gone, Ally started to feel a little nervous.
“Alright Ally,” Aina said, smiling at her in a way that said she knew about her anxiety and understood it. “Come here for a second.”
Ally stood and walked around the table toward Aina, who stood in the empty space between the tables and the counters. When she got there, Aina slid smoothly forward and kissed her softly on the lips. Their mutual saliva enflamed both their bodies and she felt an excited shiver run through her body. When Aina pulled away, she was smiling.
“Still nervous?” she asked.
“Uh, no, not at all,” she answered, still enjoying the feeling.
“I’ll have to remember that technique Aina,” Krista teased.
Ally looked towards her cousins, realizing they’d seen the kiss too, and almost sighed in relief. They were both smiling in amusement. Natalie looked like she was close to laughing. But she didn’t mind because it was all good natured and she was feeling confident again.
Aina stepped back a step and then raised her right palm up. A shadow swirled briefly and a small jar appeared there. Aina opened the lid, stuck her finger into the blue-white paste inside and then set it down. Aina raised the finger. “Open wide Ally, but don’t suck on my finger right now or your lips will go numb.”
Ally did as she was asked and felt Aina’s finger enter her mouth. She was still tempted to suck on the digit, but she restrained herself and let the finger smear gunk on her teeth and gums. It felt oddly good, at least until the feeling started to leave those parts.
“This is a numbing agent and an anti-bacterial gel,” Aina explained aloud for her and everyone else who hadn’t seen it yet. “I’ll get you your own jar Ally, so make sure that you use it so that whoever you feed on doesn’t get unpleasant germs inside them. It also makes it so that your fangs don’t hurt when they slide out the first couple of times.”
Aina did her own teeth quickly and sent the jar back to wherever it had come from. Then she opened her mouth and they all watched in fascination as her canines lengthened considerably. “Now you try Ally.”
Ally wondered at first how she was supposed to know how to do that, but it seemed her body already had that info. It felt weird with her mouth being numb, but she did feel her own fangs extending. When they were out, her gums still felt a little tight and sore, despite the gel. Aina smiled her approval and then turned towards the table.
“Larissa, Triela, who wants to volunteer and help me show Ally how it’s done?”
“I will,” Triela said at once, “before I get too nervous looking at those teeth.”
“Good,” Aina nodded and walked toward her. “Could you pull out from the table and turn sideways so that I can show Ally a few things?” Triela complied readily and Ally followed Aina over to her. Triela looked really nervous.
“Alright, there are actually several places to feed from according to the booklet I was given,” Aina said. “But I’ve only used the neck. The others are as follows: the inside of the elbows, the backside of the knees and right inside the groin area. I like the neck though, it’s very sensual.”
“And none of us are comfortable with sharp fangs anywhere near our groins,” Janet laughed.
“That too,” Aina smiled. “Now watch carefully.”
Ally scooted nearer when Aina went around behind Triela. Then Aina leaned in close and whispered something into Triela’s ear. Triela smiled in amusement and nodded. Aina moved even closer and bathed a small spot on Triela’s neck with her tongue. Triela visibly flushed at the contact with Aina’s saliva and she breathed a little deeper. Then Aina paused in the middle of the wet spot she had made and slowly bit down. Aina held herself there, gently touching Triela’s hair in a soothing gesture, and swallowing twice. Then Aina pulled her fangs out and licked again. This time Ally saw the puncture marks sealing shut without any trace of a scar. When she stood upright, Aina actually looked a little pinker and both she and Triela smelled strongly of arousal.
Ally also realized that everyone in the room smelled that way a little. Even Natalie was turned on and staring at the pair in awe. Krista and Janet were smiling and holding hands under the table.
“How was it?” Larissa asked her sister after a moment of silence.
“Wow!” Triela giggled. “Janet wasn’t shitting me at all! For a second there I could swear I got laid and that it was awesome.”
“Sorry, but I’m not interested,” Aina smiled gently. “But you tasted good too. Did you catch all of that Ally?”
“Yeah,” Ally answered. “So it’s my turn I guess?”
Larissa sat with surprising calm when she when around behind her. But maybe that was because she’d just seen how much Triela had enjoyed this. But then Larissa reached out and grabbed her. Before Ally knew it, Larissa had her straddling her lap, facing towards her. “Can we do it this way Aina?” Larissa asked.
“Works either way,” Aina said agreeably from right behind Ally. One of Aina’s hands rubbed her back in an assuring manner. Ally just liked that Aina was touching her.
Ally swallowed the last of her nerves and leaned forward against her cousin’s chest. Larissa was only moderately endowed, but Ally was uncomfortably aware of those assets as she tilted her cousin’s chin up gently with her fingers. She leaned in like Aina had, and she was a bit surprised. Some instinct she’d never had before, told her the exact place she needed. So she moved her mouth there and licked at it.
When Larissa moaned in pure, sexual pleasure, Ally almost fell right off her lap in surprise. But Aina’s hands moved in quickly and held her in place. Then Ally took a deep breath and continued.
She licked the spot several more times, making sure that Larissa would enjoy it like Triela had. Then she somehow knew it was time. She found that sweet spot, and slowly bit down. A hot flood of delicious liquid slipped into her mouth. Her body came alive at the taste of it because the only thing that compared to it was drinking the juices of her girlfriends. But after she swallowed three times, she knew she’d had enough, so she pulled out and licked the wound closed.
When she slowly got off of Larissa’s lap her cousin sighed deeply and stared with half-glazed eyes for a moment at the ceiling. “Holy damn!” she said, smiling. “That was freaking amazing!”
“So I did good?” Ally asked, looking to Aina for confirmation.
“You did awesome,” Aina confirmed with an odd, desirous tone in her voice. Ally felt a strong compulsion to kiss Aina again, and before she even knew what was happening, she was. They kissed hard, and passionately, driving back against a counter as their arms encircled the other. Ally felt incredibly turned on and alive from the blood and somehow she knew Aina was feeling the same. They both wanted this.
Then familiar arms went gently around her waist and pulled her backwards. She moaned at the separation from Aina and then groaned a little deeper when a tongue licked the back of her ear in a playful caress. Then she noticed that Aina was being held similarly by Krista across from her and that Krista’s hands were stroking over Aina’s stomach. So that meant Janet was the one holding her? She wanted Janet too.
“Calm down,” Janet whispered softly. “Calm, Ally.”
Suddenly, Ally snapped out of the weird, sexual trance and leaned back into Janet with a long, pleased sigh. Aina blinked oddly at her, and then frowned thoughtfully as she too leaned deeper into Krista’s embrace.
“That was weird,” Aina said in a massive understatement. “I usually get excited when I drink blood, but it seems that doing it with another vampire who also drinks in the same room produces that interesting side-affect in both of us.”
“You mean that you and Ally were about to go at it in the middle of the kitchen?” Janet laughed. “Next time you guys feed at the same time, we need to remember to do it in a private room!”
“Agreed,” Ally said, turning around to give a thankful peck to Janet’s lips.
“You guys are fun to watch,” Natalie giggled from her sideline position at the table. “It’s like the four of you are all connected. I feel kind of jealous.”
“Same here,” Triela smiled.
“Are you two feeling alright still?” Aina asked, now completely composed again but not moving yet from Krista’s arms. When Ally met Krista’s gaze, they shared a warm smile. Krista didn’t want to let go either and she could understand that sentiment completely, Janet’s arms were just lovely at the moment, especially now that they were facing each other.
“Yep!” Larissa answered, standing up and stretching herself a little to show how well she was. “Just like normal, except for that pleasant, almost orgasmic afterglow running through me.”
“Same here,” Triela seconded.
“Then shall we join the others?”
They all agreed that they should. But since the four of them weren’t inclined to separate just yet, their walk was slower than the others. They also raised a few eyebrows when they entered the living room, but no one said anything. The TV was already turned a news channel and some talking head was yammering on about something inane. Ally just went with the others as they found places on the floor to sit.
She loved the pleased look in Janet’s eyes when they sat with the others in a line and she scooted over a little so that she could lay down with her head in Janet’s lap. When she looked up, she saw amusement on most of the adult faces, but Krista beamed in delight and with one look to Aina, who was against Janet’s other side, she laid down the other way in Aina’s lap. They must have made quite a sight, lying like that in their nice clothes, but they didn’t care. Ally was fed and content in almost every way. The only thing she really wanted at the moment was to feel her bare skin against the others. But she was fine for now with Janet’s hand stroking through her hair.
“Did it go alright?” Raina asked.
“Yes, we’ve both fed, so we should be good now for a couple days.” Aina answered. “Triela and Larissa are fine too.”
“That’s good to hear,” Aunt Gerri said. “And you’re just in time; the broadcast will be starting soon.”
“Speaking of that,” Janet’s mom broke in. “I think I have an idea that would be very appropriate for this occasion of revealing things. I propose that we should all let our veils drop and truly relax among friends, for those of us that hide our true forms at least.”
“I do not mind, it’s been a long while for me,” Tina’s mother said after a thoughtful moment. “Do you mind Tina, Natalie?
“No, Raina’s already seen all of me,” Tina answered with a smile to Aina’s mother.
“Doesn’t bother me any either,” Natalie nodded in agreement.
“Is it alright if I abstain for now?” Aina asked the room. “If I let myself relax too much, I’ll knock out the power in the area and a few other things will happen.”
“That should be alright,” Jennifer chuckled. “But I’d still like to see it. I guess Scott and I will go first since it was my idea.”
“I love being volunteered” Scott joked from where he was talking to Uncle Arnold again. He shrugged his shoulders and as he let out a long breath, two triangular, tufted ears rose up on his head and three fluffy fox tails slid out behind him, which Uncle Arnold compliment him on. Then Jennifer stood from her chair and followed suit, except that she had five tails and they were impeccably groomed.
Aunt Gerri let out a long whistle, “They’re beautiful Jennifer. You’re Kitsune, right?”
“Yes, and thank you so much. It talks a lot of effort to keep them so clean.”
“Your wife is the wiser one?” Uncle Arnold asked Scott.
“That’s usually the way things are among us,” Janet’s father sighed resignedly.
“Me next!” Natalie cried excitedly, apparently getting into things. Ally turned a little so that she could see the girl better. But her eyes widened in surprise when she saw Natalie’s skin turned to shades of blue. Then her ears became long and pointed and small slits opened on her nose and neck. Her hair shifted into a shimmering, inky black. When it was done, Ally still thought she was very pretty.
Tina and her mother followed the younger girl’s example, but without announcing it. They just changed. Despite no longer looking wholly human, they still retained the same bearing and personality. When Tina was done, she simply slid back into Raina’s arms and they shared a brief kiss.
“You’re all so lovely,” Jennifer grinned. “Is that everyone?”
“No, we haven’t gone yet.”
Ally felt a stirring in the room as Krista spoke calmly and rose up to her feet. Ally sat up as well to give Krista her whole attention. Krista took a few steps and then turned around to face them all. Then she closed her eyes.
Then there was a loud ‘fwoooph!” and Krista’s red hair burst into a billowing curtain of brilliant flames. It filled the room with bright light. Her eyes also changed. They glowed and flickered from within as if there was a lantern flame behind them. Krista’s ears became slightly more pointed, but not nearly as long as Tina and her family. Even Krista’s skin seemed to glow with an internal light. When it was done, Krista smiled at them nervously.
Ally saw how fragile Krista’s confidence was at this moment so she leapt to her feet, threw herself at Krista and wrapped her in her arms. The flame hair caressed her arms softly, but they didn’t burn at all. But she didn’t notice, she just kissed Krista hard, to let her know just how much she cared for her. When a hand tapped her shoulder she pulled away and then Janet moved right in and did the same without giving Krista a moment’s pause. By the time Aina had also moved in, Krista was actually crying a little in happiness in her arms.
“You’re so beautiful,” Ally breathed, holding onto one of Krista’s hands while the others were also touching her in some way. In her true form, Krista was literally breathtaking. Ally remembered from lessons with her mother that seeing the fey-born could be like this, but it was still amazing.
“You were holding back last time,” Janet teased Krista gently.
“I just wasn’t sure how you guys would react,” Krista said, smiling wide at them. “I guess I shouldn’t have.”
“Never hold back,” Aina said softly. She still had her arms around Krista’s neck and her eyes were much like they had been a moment ago in the kitchen. “We love all that you are, as you are.”
“After that, I feel like small potatoes,” Janet laughed. “But here I go.”
Ally leaned back some and like her parents, fox ears bloomed up through Janet’s braided hair. Their fuzzy fur matched her hair color but the tips were white. Then she let out a sigh, and Ally got to see three beautiful tails slide right through the fabric of Janet’s clothing as if it was air. As soon as they were out, gasps came from Aina, Krista and Janet’s parent’s.
“Janet!” Jennifer and her husband rushed over with amazed, ecstatic looks on their faces. “When did this happen?”
But Janet didn’t answer; she was staring down at her own tails in similar amazement. Unable to help herself, Ally reached out and stroked down the length of one of them. Janet arched her back as she did so and gave a pleased sigh. The sweet smell of her arousal bloomed stronger in the room. “Ally,” Janet said slowly, but she cut off again because Aina and Krista, both grinning, each took a tail and did the same. Janet moaned and almost fell over, but between the three off them they lowered her down to the floor.
“Janet’s tails are sensitive,” Aina said in a pleased, confiding tone. “But they are so soft and I love touching them. When did you get the third one Janet?”
“I don’t know,” Janet said, sounding a bit airy. But she looked up at them and then at her parent’s. “It has to have been today, because I brushed them out last night and I only had two.”
“Then it looks like we have to have another party!” Jennifer said with pure parental glee in her voice. Scott looked the image of the proud father. “I can’t believe it! A third tail at your age is almost unheard of.”
“Why another party?” Aina asked.
Jennifer squatted down and gave Janet a small peck on the forehead, which made her blush like crazy. “Because every tail is a mark of growth and maturity for Kitsune and they are something to be celebrated. I wasn’t expecting this for another decade at least.”
“Must be because of who I’m around,” Janet answered.
“Of that, we have no doubt,” Scott laughed. “Are you sure you can’t show us yourself, Aina?”
“Krista, Janet and Gerri saw a peak a few days ago,” Aina answered him, smiling wryly. “If I let myself completely relax, I’m not sure what the results would be. I think I’d prefer being in a wide open space when I try it. But I think I might be able to let a little of it through if I concentrate.”
Like Krista had done, Aina moved apart a little. She stood absolutely still for several moments, not even breathing since she wasn’t talking at the moment. Then it seemed as if the air around her grew dark and shadowy. It was as if Aina stood within a dark fog. Her skin paled a little, her teeth grew long again and a purple light glowed to life from within her pupils. When the lights in the room started to flicker, Aina made a slashing gesture with one hand, it all vanished and she was back to the way she normally was.
“Sorry,” Aina smiled apologetically. “Any more than that and I’ll cause problems for the neighbors if I start disrupting the electricity.”
“Oh well,” Jennifer sighed, standing back up and smiling in good humor. “I guess my curiosity will have to suffer.”
“What kind of vampire are you?” Aunt Gerri asked. “I looked through some of my books, but nothing seems to fully match the usual types.”
“No idea,” Aina chuckled. “Not even the doctor knew. I have a lot more oomph than I know what to do with now. I don’t mind really being a vampire because of what I’ve found and that makes I am now worth it. It also gives me the strength to protect those I love and to help them, like with Ally.”
“Hey, it’s coming on now!” Natalie announced, pointing a blue finger at the TV. Sure enough, a screen baring the White House logo on a plain blue background was there with the words “Special Broadcast from the President of the United States,” at the bottom.
Raina quickly grabbed the remote off of a small side table and un-muted the television. The screen blanked for a moment and then opened to a view of the White House Press Briefing Room. The normal gaggle from the various press agencies sat in their assigned seats and a thin, balding man stepped up onto the podium. A small banner appeared, naming him Press Secretary Alistair Reynard. As expected of such a man, he was dressed impeccably and his voice was clear when he spoke.
“People of the United States, we ask your pardon for taking over all broadcast blocks for this announcement, but it is of the utmost importance that you hear it. This will affect not just us, but all other nations as well. But as it is his duty and responsibility, your elected President will explain the details that will involve this nation. Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States, Javier Toben”
He stepped aside as President Javier Toben ascended the stage and approached the podium. The President was a tall man, well past his prime, but he was well known for his powerful speaking voice and calm demeanor. For a long moment he just stood in silence, wearing a dark blue suit and tie. He was completely bald, supposedly from injuries suffered while a Marine, but he seemed proud of the look.
“Citizens and peoples living in the United States,” his voice was a basso rumble, but each word was carefully spoken. “I am here tonight to address something important. As the leader of this nation it is both my duty and my honor to do so. What I have to say may be disturbing to some and frightening others, but my hope is that you will act with reason and understanding.”
He looked out over the crowd of press. “What I am about to tell you is the absolute truth. It has been gone over by your Representatives and Senators in Congress, and they have voted on the necessary measures to ensure that justice is given to a segment of the population that has, until now, remained mostly unknown to you all. But due to growing population numbers, this can not remain so forever. So, as the government of this great nation, we have acted to give them the protection and rights they deserve as citizens and free people to live happy, prosperous lives.”
“I know this will be hard to believe, but be patient,” he raised a cautioning hand. “The people I am speaking about are not all human but they are people nonetheless. No, I’m not talking about aliens or anything like that. I’m talking about people and creatures from out of myths and legends that have always lived among us.”
An angry murmur arose from the press corps. “Silence!” the president smacked his hand down and they subsided. “I know that this sounds like a farce. It is not. Magical beings and the supernatural have always existed and the government has always known about them. They are just as much citizens as anybody else born here, so it was not the government’s prerogative to make their personal business public since they have obeyed the law.”
“I know you are still skeptical, so here is proof,” he gestured at the left wing of the stage and a refrigerator-sized man climbed the steps wearing the uniform of the Secret Service. He nodded respectfully to the President. “This man has served four different Presidents now and has showed both excellent service and intense loyalty. But he is not entirely human. Right, Jasper?”
The big man nodded. Then there was an odd twisting around the man that was hard to look at directly, but when it went away a huge wolf, the size of a big horse, stood on the stage where the man had. A radio headset wire still ran to one ear on the wolf. Gasps and shouts arose from the press and they grew louder still when he shifted back to a man as he walked off the stage.
“Jasper is a real werewolf. He is not pretend. But he is also not a monster. Jasper is just as much a person as you are. Since there are literally millions of non or part humans living among us, we, the government, feel that we must guarantee their rights and to change de facto law enforcement policies that have existed into actual laws.”
“Most of these changes are small ones. Such has amending nondiscrimination laws to include all sentient species, regardless of what they look like. There will also be specific allowances on a species-by species basis to allow for necessary living and dietary needs. They are citizens, so they will also be able to run for office if they wish to and it will be made illegal for jury selections to exclude them or to even ask for a species on job applications. Public schools and universities may not exclude them either, along with any other public institution. Since this is something completely new to many people, I ask that you just regard them as the neighbors they have always been.”
“For a short period, it has been decided that they will be protected by temporary, but strict, hate-crime laws. Violence and other such acts of persecution will not be tolerated in any situation other than actual self defense. Those charged under these laws will face a federal court and harsh sentences.”
“The government is also forbidding any census on them by any entity, State or Federal. There is too great a chance that people will panic and use such information to cause harm to them. The only such records that will be allowed are hospital medical records and internal criminal records.”
“Most of you won’t ever know who these people actually are. But these laws are part of a forward thing plan. We are anticipating a day when certain groups among the population will no longer be able to hide what they are.”
“All the pertinent laws and regulations will be made publicly available locally at libraries and post offices and online in multiple languages. Please review them when you can, because ignorance of a law is never an excuse. The Courts may have a say towards some of them in the future, but for now, they exist as they are worded.”
“Thank you America, for your patience and time tonight. As always, I am proud to be your President and I hope and pray that you will all do what is right. Good night.”
A clamor broke out from the press, but the President never looked back as he strode purposely off the stage. Before the view changed back to the news channel’s reporters, Ally saw the Press Secretary going back to talk to the mob.
“Well, that was interesting,” Aunt Gerri said after a moment when the TV was muted again. “But we won’t know how good or bad these laws and things are until we have a chance to see them at work.”
“Ain’t that the unfortunate truth,” Jennifer chortled. “But I think…”
*****
Janet once again sat in the back of her father’s car, but she was in an even better mood now than she’d been in on the way to Aina’s place. The cause of this pleasantness was the blonde haired girl lying across the backseat with her head in her lap. It wasn’t the safest way to travel, but Ally has assumed this positioning again as soon as they had gotten in the vehicle and her parent’s hadn’t said anything about it. All it had warranted was a smile from her mother.
When the dinner party had finally broken up, late into the night, it was decided that Ally would come home with her for a day, until Monday when she would go back to school. Ally’s aunt had decided, after a bit of convincing, that between her, Aina, and Krista, they could tutor Ally enough to catch her up on things. The clincher had been a promise from all of them, Ally included, to spend at least two hours each day on schoolwork before anything else unless it was an emergency.
Since Ally was coming home with her, Krista was staying over with Aina. Janet thought that it would be a nice day tomorrow, even though she itched to have all of them together again already. Leaving Aina’s house had been like ripping off adhesive bandages, painful but necessary. But in the end they had parted, comforted a little by the knowledge that they would all be together at school all week.
Feeling a tickling sensation on her knee, Janet looked down again and smiled. Ally had a happy smile on her face too and was tracing her fingernail lightly around Janet’s kneecap. Once Ally saw that she had her attention, she got a mischievous look in her eyes and the finger left the knee and slipped under her skirt along her inner thigh.
“Ally?” she whispered. Between Ally and Aina’s influences, and the copious tail stroking, she had been feeling mildly aroused all night. Now Ally’s finger was threatening to stoke the fire that had been slowly dwindling. But instead of answering, the finger started to move in a tight spiral as is continued up her leg.
Janet knew it was completely out of sight from either of her parents and it felt pretty good, so she didn’t stop it, but she felt like returning the favor. So she slowly reached over with her right hand, the one that she had resting on Ally’s belly and also moved it upwards. When she reached her destination she restrained a grin at her confirmation that Ally wasn’t wearing a bra under her dress. So the dress material was the only thing between her fingers and the nipple she had found to play with. Ally made a pleased, giggling sound and adjusted her positioning so that even if her mother should look over and down, all she’d see was that Janet had a hand on her somewhere.
Ally’s fingers stayed well clear of her groin, which was a little disappointing, but she did bring a couple more fingers into play. The rest of the trip back to her house was spent that way. By the time her father pulled into the driveway Janet knew she was getting dangerously wet between her legs. She knew Ally had to be in a similar condition because she was squeezing her legs together and sighing a lot.
“We’re here,” Janet said, making sure her voice stayed steady.
“Thank god,” Ally said very quietly, with a grin on her face. When she sat up she had to pull the material of the dress away from her breasts to hide her excited nipples. “So this is where you live, Janet?”
“Yep!” Janet answered, popping her door open. “Come on, we can just head right up to my room. I’ll show you around in the morning.”
“That’s fine with me!” Ally agreed cheerfully, joining her.
Janet ignored the chuckles and grins from her parents as they swept inside and practically flew up the stairs. They knew why she and Ally were in such a hurry, but she didn’t care. She just led the way to her room and Ally eagerly followed. Once inside she barely stopped herself from flinging the door shut behind them.
“Did Aina show you how to do that silencing thing?” Janet asked, her eyes trailing over Ally again.
“No, but I know a way to do it on my own,” Ally replied with a smirk. She walked over to the nearest wall, and set her hands on it. She murmured a few words Janet couldn’t understand, and then a flood of little glowing symbols the size of a nail head raced out and over all the walls, the floor, the door and the ceiling. Once it was covered, they all seemed to sink into whatever surface they were on. “See?”
“I do,” Janet nodded. “Was that magecraft?”
“Cool, huh?” Ally smiled wide. Then she turned around and pointed in the general direction of her head. “Can you undo the little zipper behind my neck?”
“Gladly!” Janet moved towards her and found that a very small zipper went down from the top of the neck, down to the cutout. When she had it undone, the entire top portion of the dress fell forward, making Ally naked from the waist up. Ally turned around and a little wiggle of her hips made the rest fall to the floor. A pair of black, cotton panties joined the dress. Then she was entirely naked except for the pair of shoes that she quickly kicked off.
Janet just stood there for a long moment, and enjoyed the sight of Ally’s pale-pink skin and bright pink nipples. But then Ally was moving towards her with a very eager look on her face. Janet’s arms went around that smooth skin and then small lips quested and found hers. Ally’s hand went straight to the catch on her skirt while the other helped yank the garment off and to the floor.
Ally released her lips for a moment and Janet realized that after just one day without sex with her girlfriends, she was practically panting for it. Her panties were already soaked and Ally wrinkled her noise with a wide smile to say that she definitely knew how excited she was. Then Ally was assisting her with stripping off both layers of her tops in one go. That accomplished, it was her turn to remove shoes and socks.
She reached down between her legs as Ally watched and felt how wet she truly was. Her juices were already flowing down her legs and a glance showed a small wet spot forming on the carpet. She was about to make a mental note to keep a towel in her room, but all thoughts fled her mind when Ally snagged her hand. Janet watched in fascination as Ally eagerly brought the hand up, and after a small smile, took a finger into her mouth.
Janet shivered at the pure, erotic feel of Ally sucking and licking on her finger. When the first was clean, Ally moved to the next one and repeated the treatment until the entire hand was devoid of juices and Janet was almost ready to orgasm from just that. She had seen Ally do this with Aina, but now that she had experienced it, she wanted Ally to keep doing it.
Ally kept the hand though and started lick up the inside of her arm. The crook of her elbow tingled like mad from the attention of that wonderful tongue. Then Ally continued her journey upwards. Finally she reached the top of her arms she went up over her shoulder. Tingling and quivering from all the attention, Janet was unprepared for the finger that grazed over her clit at the exact same time that Ally licked up and behind her ear.
“Oh…holy shit!” Janet rasped, barely able to even breathe as the unexpected orgasm tore through her body like lightning and fluids poured out of her womanhood to coat her legs and soak into the floor. Her knees gave way and she suddenly dropped, only to be caught and lifted up in Ally’s arms.
When Ally laid her onto her bed, she looked into Ally’s glorious smile and matched it with one of her own. Then Ally’s face dropped out of sight and she felt her legs being lifted up and open. She grinned and laughed a little when she heard a sniffing sound, but then she cut off with a hiss of pleasure because Ally had taken one long swipe with her tongue, all the way up her left leg.
Ally made more such passes, each time stopping when her nose touched near Janet’s soaked slit. When Ally started working on her inner thighs, Janet had to grab a hold onto the bedspread to keep from grabbing onto Ally’s cute, wonderful little head, and forcing it into her crotch to finish her off.
The wait was well worth it. Because by the time Ally was ready to turn her attention to her arousal inflamed pussy, Janet was ready to scream. So when Ally finally spread her legs wide and slipped her tongue as deep inside her she could go, Janet howled and convulsed twice as she made a good effort to drown Ally in her juices.
When she came to, she found that Ally had already cleaned her body, the bed and the floor thoroughly and that her girlfriend was kissing gently over her small breasts. Janet grabbed at Ally’s shoulders and she pulled the girl up for a deep, meaningful kiss. When it was done, Ally looked justifiably pleased and proud of what she’d done.
“That was kind of fun,” Ally giggled.
“If you had fun, I have no idea what to call what I just had,” Janet replied, her breathing still heavy. Ally grinned and hugged her tight, kissing her some more. It was then that Janet realized that Ally really seemed to enjoy snuggling and hugging and that she enjoyed giving that to her, but right now she wanted to taste Ally again and return the favor.
She broke away from kissing Ally’s lips and shuffled down the bed a little. Ally realized what she wanted and moved accordingly to bring one of her perky little nipples to Janet’s eager mouth. Ally moaned appreciably and Janet answered her with one of her own. She paid a great deal of attention to both nipples, working Ally up. Then she grabbed onto Ally’s nice round butt and pulled until the girl got the hint and shuffled her knees up the bed.
Once Ally was straddled over Janet’s body she leaned backwards onto her arms. Janet dove into the drenched pussy in front of her with enthusiasm and as she did so she locked her eyes onto Ally’s. She wrapped her arms around Ally’s legs and brought a hand down to play with Ally’s clit as she tongued her slit. Ally started to thrust back and forth and her pace quickened as she got closer and closer to her climax. Then she gave a deep moan and shuddered hard, coming wetly onto Janet’s happy face. Her arms slackened and she fell backwards onto Janet’s legs where she panted for a moment before turning back over and climbed back onto Janet again.
When Janet looked again into Ally’s eyes they were almost glowing with an eager, joyful light. Janet took one amused glance at her nearby alarm clock and decided that since dawn was still a long ways away, there was plenty of time for more fun. She must have made some kind of face because Ally giggled happily and gave her another quick kiss.
“We’re not stopping yet, right?” Ally asked eagerly.
“Hell no!” Janet replied, wrapping her legs around the other girl and slowly grinding herself into Ally’s thigh. “I’ve got plenty of energy left and I’ve haven’t had nearly enough of you yet.”
Ally blushed, but she matched her humping motions and adjusted so her own pussy also got some attention too. “Same here.”
With that they came together again and the lovemaking went on and on. It wasn’t until almost four in the morning when they both fell into an exhausted, yet happy sleep in each other’s arms. When they finally awoke, well past noon the next day, neither of them was in any hurry to get out of bed. For Janet, it was a great way to start at day and she knew there would be more like this. Or even better maybe. Who knows?
