Deceit Unmasked

"Wow... I look so...different." Rachel gasped as she stared at her own reflection in the mirror.

Maria raised her eyebrows and asked, "I hope you like your new looks? As far as I understand, your appearances changed according to your desires, so..."

"Yeah, I really like this new me, it's just... I kind of expected to become a hot and dark seductress as you are but now I'm just a cute little vampire girl. I love my new boobs though, I always wanted a D cup," she said as she cupped her new tits.

Maria hugged her from behind and softly purred in her ear, "I think you look amazing, Rach. You maybe are more on the cute side but that doesn't mean you're not gorgeous. Besides, your transformation is more powerful than mine was anyway. You'll see, both guys and girls won't be able to resist you and it might even be an advantage to not be as...intimidating as I am."

In truth, Maria admired Rachel's changes just as they were, otherwise she might have been unrecognizable. Before, she was just an average girl next door with no remarkable features, although still easy on the eye. Now, her facial structure had changed - her cheekbones became slightly more prominent but not out of proportions. Her blue eyes were much more pronounced and beautifully complemented her nearly-white platinum blonde hair. While her lips didn't enlarge noticeably, the signature vampire red hue made them stand out against her pale, alabaster skin. Her body changed as well, and while she remained shorter than Maria she was slightly curvier than her. Her boobs really grew in size to form perfectly firm, teardrop shaped D size tits. Her flat butt gained in volume to balance the added mass in front nicely. All in all, most straight guys would find her very attractive, close to a bombshell like Maria was.

"I guess you're right," Rachel chuckled at their reflection, admiring their contrasting black&white figures. Two creatures of the night - one seemingly pure and light but with a sparkle of naughtiness in her bright eyes, the other oozing femme fatale vibes, a flame of lust and pleasure burning in her darkness. "You'll take the alpha machos while I get all the shy, coy boys. That way we'll get them all, huh?"

Maria stroked her hair, amused by her innocent enthusiasm. She smiled and said, "you're forgetting one thing, girl. The power we have over them. Never forget that with the correct approach and some skill there is no man alive that could resist either of us."

"Did you use this power... on me?" Rachel carefully probed.

"Well, to some degree I did but for the most part it was you yourself," Maria explained honestly. "All the major decisions you've made were yours, I merely gave you a nudge, so to speak. After all, having sex with a vampire and letting one feed on you leads you further into darkness, you know. Anyway, how do you feel?"

"Great! I know it sounds cheesy but I've never felt better in my life! So full of energy and with heightened senses, I feel ready for anything. Yet, I have this annoying sensation growing in me, like I'm thirsty and hungry at the same time, but it's much more intense. Is that the need for...blood?" Rachel answered, joy and good spirit slowly replaced by curiosity and worry.

Remembering her own transformation and the unique sense of hunger that came with it, Maria slowly nodded, "yes, my dear. That is exactly what you need. Don't worry though, I've prepared a solution for your new appetite. Come with me..."

Maria took Rachel's hand and guided her towards the guest's bedroom.

In the middle of the bed, naked and tied up Ethan awaited them. His arms and legs were each restrained by a rope to the bed frame. Despite his muscular build he looked pretty tame in this position.

He lifted up his head to check the incomers, two nude vampiresses. He immediately recognized Maria so his eyes fell on the cute blonde behind that closely resembled...

"Rachel," he gasped with defeat in his voice, quickly replaced by anger. "Fuck you for tasing me, bloody cunt. Serves you right to end up like this."

"Well that was quite coarse, where did your britishness go all of a sudden? I guess I deserved that, so I'll let it slide this time. But you should know that I feel quite good, no thanks to you. You like the new me, Ethan?" Rachel taunted him as she sat on the bedside, her blue eyes meeting his.

"No," he sneered. "I can't say you're really my type."

"You shouldn't be so close-minded, we aren't that bad. Say, have you ever been with a vampire, Ethan?" Rachel made a sexy pose, her power over him clearly fueling her confidence.

"Obviously not." He averted his gaze in disgust, only to find Maria sitting on the other side of the bed with a sardonic smile on her face, enjoying the situation as well.

"Obviously," Rachel replied, mimicking his tone. "Otherwise you probably wouldn't be here right now. Well I have been and I have to say in full honesty - it's a... life-changing experience. Pun intended." Rachel sent Maria a playful wink.

"Did you come here to gloat or what? I know what you want from me so do it swiftly." Ethan sounded fed up but his voice still kept a commanding tinge in it.

"Funny, even in this hopeless position you found yourself in, you're still bold enough to make demands. Got to admire the psychological training you guys had at that afternoon club of yours." Rachel chuckled mockingly and then leaned in, looking him dead in the eye and continued with a cold, determined voice. "You toyed with me and used me as a pawn in your little hunt but as you can see... how do you Brits say it? The boot is on the other foot? Anyhow, we'll do whatever we want with you, you understand? Your fate is in our hands. So be a sport and we won't make you suffer that much. Who knows, we might even turn you in the end?"

Hearing her last words, Ethan froze in pure terror and shifted his gaze at Maria, snarling at her, "WE HAD A DEAL! You promised me!"

Maria interjected calmly, knowing that something like that would literally be impossible, given the fact that Ethan was practically untouched by vampiric corruption. "Relax, Ethan. She doesn't know yet that it's not possible. Even if we wanted it, we couldn't turn you."

Although her explanation was meant for Rachel she noticed Ethan's weird reaction. He kept staring at her in obvious confusion, his eyes darting between the vampiresses until at last he managed to take control of his emotions and nodded, but far too rapidly so that in the end his response came out cartoonishly unconvincing, "uhm, yeah, you're right. It's impossible..."

lt was Maria now who glared at him with a dumbfounded look, trying to understand his ill-suited reaction. Rachel broke the silence and chimed in, "what? What's going on here? What's up with you two?"

A sense of betrayal washed over Maria but she had to confirm her suspicions. Her eyes narrowed and she lowered herself inches from his face.

"That's not the truth, is it?" she demanded. "We could turn you right now and there are no limitations at all, are there?"

"No... it's like you said, ehm... it's impossible." Ethan couldn't bear to look her in the eye but tried to carry on with the lie nonetheless.

Maria wasn't buying it, though. She grabbed his balls and squeezed them harshly, causing him to wince in pain. "I swear I'm gonna wreck your balls if you don't start telling the truth!"

Ethan saw the fire raging in her eyes and knew she was damn serious with the threat. "OK! I'll say everything, just stop! Whoa...so, the thing is, I've heard rumours that senior vampires often tell this made up narrative to their newly turned about how they were special and chosen and similar rubbish and that only some insane amounts of preparations are needed to turn regular people. It's all bollocks, you can turn anyone with enough vampire blood ingested. As far as I know they're doing it to prevent fledglings from turning their loved ones and in weakening their ties with their maker. Then they make them drain their partners or family in order to keep them dependant on them, thus creating powerful but completely obedient pets. It seems your maker has been misleading you as well..."

Maria froze in infernal rage for a moment and then jumped up in anger and marched around the room, cursing and ranting, mainly to herself, "Nikolai, you goddamn son of a bitch! You fucking lied to me all this time! Motherfucker!"

Ethan and Rachel both watched her fume and Rachel eventually tried calming her down, "Maria, hey, take it easy girl, we're gonna think this through. You hear me?"

"I need some fucking air!" She boomed and stormed out, leaving the bedroom awkwardly quiet for a moment. Rachel and Ethan shared a surprised look, both flabbergasted by this outcome. Eventually, Ethan suggested, "Aren's you going after her?"

With a weak smile Rachel nodded and said, "I suppose you're right. Uhm, we'll be back soon..."

"Take your time, it's not like I'm going anywhere," Ethan retorted sarcastically. As Rachel left searching after Maria a satisfied grin widened across his face. He was incredibly lucky and with the way this night has been unfolding a new sense of hope appeared in him. He might even survive this after all. But at what cost?

"There you are! This mansion is huge, I've looked for you but the smell of tobacco gave you out. Are you ok?" Rachel gasped in relief as she spotted Maria in the garden, leaning on a large tree with her back, cigarette smoke surrounding her.

Maria kept gazing in the distance and took a long drag, followed by another cloud of smoke. She appeared to have calmed down a bit but the manner of her smoking showed nervousness and anxiety.

"I'm fine, Rach. It's just...this world I've plunged myself into - and now brought you in as well - is turning out to be much more fucked up as it seemed at first. Everyone either wants to kill you or use you. Or both. You can trust no one," she said bitterly, her fingers fidgeting around the cigarette. She turned to Rachel, gave her a weak smile and carried on with a sweet, gentle voice, mixed with a tinge of sadness. "It's just us now, Rachel. We can never let anyone divide us, girl."

Rachel hugged her tightly and comforted her, "I'm new at all this but I can promise you one thing - I'll always be there for you. You'll never get rid of me."

Maria broke their embrace and gave her a long, deep look as her eyes watered. She caressed her cheek and said tenderly, "I love you, babe. Once again you're my anchor in this crazy shitstorm of a life."

Rachel tilted her head into her soft hand, a warm and loving smile adorning her pale face. "I love you too, you know it. We'll deal with this together. Trouble is, I don't really have a clue how. And, well, I don't want to nag, but I think I'm getting really hungry now..."

"We'll get back to Ethan right away, don't worry. But first we have to find a way out of this clusterfuck. There is one option I thought of but it's quite risky. Wanna hear it?" Maria declared, confidence returning to her voice.

"I might, for a cigarette," Rachel shrugged and smiled.
