My Friend

“My friend here is just a little shy! Never mind her aloof posturing, Mr Alcalde. Vanessa keeps that ice bitch masquerade, and the out of fashion improvised urban-gladiator armour is part of her dissimulation. Adopted because it keeps the youngest nocturnal children at respectful distance. And I indulge it for my own amusement.”

_Sil! What are you, doing? Why…

“Shuuush! In reality, she is no old vampire, Vanessa hereis not even a vampire. She is my blood thrall.”

_Silene!! You promised me. Not in publi…

WHY are you unbuttoning my shirt, …girlfriend?

NO!

“See, Mr Alcalde? Like a little fluffy bunny! Frozen quiet, trembling a little just by being forcefully handled with a bit of tact.

Now, Vanessa, my darling sweetheart. That of those preposterous boots. Get yourself naked waist down, go on that table. I want you to assume position on your knees, spread them wildly apart. To show my dear friend here that cute piercing ring I put to decorate your fine clit”

_Silene!! Please, Miss, Sil. NOT HERE! This is the bloody Wolf’s Den, Silvia. Every vampire in the North West frequents this place. Every vampire in town will know that before sunrise…

“Quit flattering yourself, my dear! Anyone of relevance can see what you actually are in a passing glimpse. They just don’t care. Those who fall for our silly theatre are young fireflies with a life expectancy in the night about as long as the one an actual firefly can hope for.

Now, now, this conversation has lasted long enough. You are embarrassing me in front of the Alcalde, thrall.”

_Silene, I am your friend…

“This is the Nocturnal Society, Vanessa. You begged me to be part of it, mind you! I do… ‘anything’. Rings a bell?

You are my ****, bunny girl, your cunt is mine to show off if pleases me. This is bloody serious business, pet! No more winning.

Be meek and cheerful from now own, V. I am grateful to the Alcalde for the honour to you show off tonight, my pet!

Behave accordingly, from now on. ”
