The New Girl

Chapter One: The New Arrival

On a dark and cold night when it was snowing hard and wolves were howling in the distance I heard a commotion outside in the main hallway, a young, thin looking girl was being held at spear point by three guards so I immediately went over to ask what the problem was.

"What is going on here?" I asked curiously,

"It is nothing to be concerned with Madam it is just an intruder who squeezed through one of the partially blocked tunnels" One of the guards replied.

"Can't you see that the poor thing is terrified, she is clearly no threat to us. Come here child, let me find you some hot soup" I said as I offered my hand to the shaking girl who could not have been older than 12 or 13. The girl slowly stepped forward and she took my hand, she was dressed in torn up clothing and she looked as though she hadn't eaten in a while.

"What is your name child?" I asked the girl.

"My name is Katherine but you can call me Kate as that is what I prefer" Kate answered as she tucked into her bowl of soup.

"How did you find your way here?" I asked.

"I was walking, I was lost and I saw some others heading this way so I followed them then the guards spotted me and that is when you came along" Kate explained.

"Do you know where you are?" I asked cautiously.

"Yes, I am in some kind of underground fortress. I am looking for a man named Gavnur Purl, do you know him?" Kate asked me, so I said

"Yes I know Gavnur, he is one of my best friends. How do you know him?" Then Kate answered simply

"Gavnur and my mother are very close, her name is Liz. Gavnur has been visiting us for years"

"Oh right well you are welcome here, I will see to it that nobody harms you. Come with me, I will take you to Gavnur's quarters" I replied as Kate got up and followed me.

I knocked on the door of Gavnur's quarters and he opened the door straight away, when he saw Kate he was surprised but he hugged her and invited us into his quarters automatically.

"Kate, what are you doing here? How did you know to come here?" Gavnur asked Kate, then she replied:

"I had to come here, it is my mother. She is ill and she may die so I have come to ask you to take care of me, I have nobody else. I saw some people on the path so I followed them to the entrance hall where the guards stopped me with spears, I was really scared"

"Oh Kate of course I will look after you, I love you as if you were my own daughter" Gavnur said with a smile, he then opened his arms and hugged Kate before he kissed her forehead lightly.

"I will leave you to sort things out from here then Gavnur, I must go and find my mate" I replied as I left to search the halls for my beloved blessed mate Larten Crepsley.

Later on that evening when Larten and myself were sparring in the Halls of Sport (it was a favourite hobby of ours) we saw Gavnur and Kate entering the Hall, we stopped sparring so that Larten could be introduced to Kate properly.

"Larten this is Kate, she is Liz's daughter and of course you know that Liz is Gavnur's human mate" I said as Larten kissed Kate's hand.

"It is a pleasure to meet you, welcome to Vampire Mountain" Larten said with a polite bow. Kate stood there and blushed a lot, she was not used to men treating her with such respect.

"Thank you, may I call you Larten?" Kate asked nervously to which Larten simply replied:

"You may call me Larten if that is your wish" then Kate smiled and I knew that she was going to be OK.

"Will you blood her Gavnur?" I asked,

"Yes of course, Kate will become my assistant and I will look after her. I will teach her our ways and she will be safe from harm" Gavnur replied as he put his arm around Kate's waist.

"Do I have to become a vampiress?" Kate asked.

"If you wish to stay here then I'm afraid so, the Generals would not have it any other way. Do not worry about it, I shall not blood you until you are ready and I will explain everything in detail before I blood you" Gavnur replied.

"Kate, would you like me to show you to your quarters?" I asked.

"Am I not to share with Gavnur?" Kate asked with a worried look on her face.

"You can share with Gavnur if you wish but he snores like a bear" I said with a laugh.

"I know that, he often keeps my mother awake with his snoring. I think it would be wise if I have my own space. I want to be near to Gavnur but I would like my own room" Kate responded.

"Very well, Seba can you come here?" I called out and Seba came over to us. He was dressed in his usual red attire.

"How may I help you?" Seba asked as he stood next to Larten.

"Seba, this is Kate. She is going to become Gavnur's assistant but she requests that she has her own quarters. Shall I show her to the empty room that is next door to Arra?" I asked

"Yes, that is a good idea. It is one of the nicer rooms here I think" Seba replied.

"Very well, I just wanted to check that it was ok with you before I help Gavnur get Kate settled in" I said cheerfully.

"Kate, do you have any belongings at all?" I asked.

"I have nothing of any value or importance, I would like some new clothes and maybe a small dagger if that is ok with you Gavnur?" Kate replied as she looked at Gavnur and waited for his answer.

"You may have whatever you need, I shall come with you to the storeroom and I will find some new clothing for you" Gavnur replied as he led Kate away to the nearest storeroom.

"Can you remember what I was like when I first arrived?" I asked Larten.

"Yes, you were in need of medical attention and you were also cold and hungry. It is lucky that you found me, not all of the other vampires would have looked upon you so kindly" Larten replied as he held me close to him, I loved Larten very much. He had been my blessed mate for the best part of six years and without him I would be incomplete.

We headed to our quarters and settled in as it was near to sunrise. I was tired and I had a long list of duties to complete when I awoke, I got undressed and I lay down in the coffin which Larten and I shared. Larten got in beside me and pulled his cloak over us as if it were a blanket.

Larten kissed me and I kissed him back, then he held me in his arms and we snuggled up togther under his large, red velvet cloak. I always slept in Larten's arms, it made me feel safe and he kept me warm. We proceeded to make love to each other because we liked to mate frequently. Larten was on top of me and he began to kiss me with more passion than before, I adjusted my body so that Larten would be able to enter me when it was time, when he penetrated me I gasped between our prolonged kiss. I could feel Larten beginning to thrust gently inside of me, he took it slowly at first but when I was wet enough he sped up to cause me pleasure. I wrapped my hands around his neck and I kissed him non-stop until the pleasure was too great and I was practically begging him to make me orgasm which of course he did multiple times. Each time it got more intense and I tried not to scream too loud because of our neighbours but I couldn't help myself, then we rolled over and I was on top which gave me more cotrol. I ran my nails down Larten's chest and I rocked my hips, he in return scratched my back and he rocked his hips too in time with me so that we would both feel something.

This was what I looked forward to, each day when we retired to our quarters we would make love to one another but we always changed our routines so that we wouldn't get bored. Some nights we took it slow and other nights we played rough with each other but we understood each other's boundaries and we knew what each other enjoyed most. Tonight was a go slow night, we made love to each other passionately which involved a lot of kissing and touching, lots of foreplay too but we were gentle and when we orgasmed it lasted which is always a good thing.

When we had finished making love I turned onto my side, I snuggled into Larten who wrapped his arms around me and I fell asleep. When I woke up I was still in Larten's protective embrace and I had my fingers interlinked with his. We loved each other very much and we were always together when we had no duties to complete.

I yawned and stretched which distubed Larten who woke up and got himself dressed.

"Morning my love, did you sleep OK?" I asked Larten as I was getting some clean clothes before I went off to have a wash.

"Yes, will you join me for breakfast?" Larten asked me as he adjusted his cape.

"Of course I will, I just want to go and have a wash first" I replied.

"OK, I shall meet you in the hall" Larten replied as he kissed me, he held me in his arms for a few minutes longer before I left our shared quarters in the direction of the waterfalls.
