Aaaaaaand here I am with my second chapter of this fic :P. For those of you who don't understand certain shoutouts, I'll get back on those in a later chapter :). Hope you'll like it :P.


"Korsak told me you have something for me Maura." Jane said, entering Maura's lab. "Did you find out what that substance was?"

"I did. I knew it was thrombosis, but I didn't know what had caused it. It's tranexamic acid. It's normally used to treat a couple of bleeding disorders, even menorrhagies."

"Ouch."

"Yeah. I guess being a girl has its downfalls sometimes."

"Please Maura. An annoying visitor once a month versus being a competitive jerk most of the time? Geez, I wonder what I should choose."

"Right. Because you're not competitive at all." Maura added sarcastically.

"Make as much fun as you want but all I'm doing is to show the guys that I can be a tough player too."

"You mean you never wanted to be a guy?"

"Not to win at competitions or anything. My guess is that there is only one thing that a guy can do and a girl can't."

"Which is...?" Maura asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Being a jerk and not raising any suspicion of course." Jane added hastily. "You were saying something about the acid." She tried to change the subject as quickly as she could, but Maura knew her better than that. Jane hadn't been exactly honest with her and she wondered if... Nah, it couldn't be. Alright, back to the case.

"Yes. You know, I thought at first that she was on some kind of treatment and she needed it, but she had an overdose."

"And it can't be an accident."

"No, I ruled out that possibility too. Someone deliberately injected the acid into her veins, causing her thrombosis."

"OK, so why all the trouble? Why not just shoot her?"

"I think our killer was trying to prove something. You remember what I told you about the puncture wounds?"

"The ones that were filled with wax, yes."

"I think the killer only filled them with wax. Either that or she was held prisoner for at least a week."

"No, I think she had them before she was captured. Her boyfriend said that he had last seen her this morning."

"So either he did or my theory is correct and..."

"God, Maura, did you just say the T word?" Jane gasped. "Are you sure you're ok? Maybe you have fever or something." She let her fingers touch Maura's forehead, mockingly checking her temperature. And then, she didn't know how it happened, but her fingers ended up on Maura's neck, caressing the soft skin around her pulse point.

"Uhm Jane... What exactly are you doing?" Maura asked panting.

"I'm checking your pulse. If you started to make theories, something is wrong with you girl." Jane excused herself. What the hell had gotten into her? Agreed, Maura had a great neck, but she couldn't caress her anytime she wanted. And she didn't even want to. No. Of course she didn't. She had just got a little distracted.

"So do you want to hear my theory or not?"

"Sure. I'm all ears." Jane said, her hands resting now on Maura's shoulders. Not quite as tame as she should have, but it still was an improvement.

"I think our victim was killed by a vampire hater. Someone who doesn't like this whole vampire thing. Someone who thinks that girls shouldn't be attracted to hot vampires that come at night and suck their blood, with those hot lips of theirs caressing and almost massaging their victims' necks..."

"Someone is a vampire lover." Jane laughed. "You should be careful, there's a killer in town hunting you."

"I'm not a vampire lover. I just... happen to know a vampire that is sexy enough to make me think that hickeys are worth it." Maura said with a dreamy sigh.

"Tell me it's not Twilight."

"Of course not. Actually, it's more something like empathy. You see this vampire is in love with a doctor so..."

"Coroner?"

"No, not exactly. She did an autopsy once. No, twice. It wasn't pretty. Well, anyway, I didn't pay attention last time. There were a lot of annoying characters in that episode so I kind of... fast forwarded it."

"And let me guess. This... vampire of yours... is wonderfully well proportioned isn't he? Long bones and all." Jane mocked.

"Long bones, long fingers... Pretty much long everything. And a pair of steel blue eyes that are... to die for."

"I didn't think I'd live long enough to see this day. Maura Isles, in love with a fictional character."

"Only part fictional."

"He's a vampire. You just said that."

"Yes, but... it's a long story."

"I'm afraid it will have to wait, girls. I just found something that could be interesting for your case. I hope I'm not interrupting anything." Frost said entering the room.

"No, Maura was just telling me about her steel-blue eyed vampire lover."

"Dr. Isles, you don't say..."

"Oh I know your opinion on the matter Barry. If you think that experience doesn't count... your choice. But I'm right. You'll see that."

"We'll see about that. Now, back to our case. I managed to hack into Margaret's Facebook account and it turns out to be she was a hardcore vampire fan."

"Normal vampires or good stuff too?"

Frost glared at Maura before answering. "She was more like a classic."

"Garlic, sunlight and all?"

"Yes, with a hint of Twilight and True Blood."

"Boring." Jane and Maura said at the same time.

"Oh yes, you will be a good fan Jane." Maura smiled. "Just don't listen to Frost after I get you in."

"In what, exactly?"

"You'll see."

"You're not actually planning to get another fan for your troops do you?" Frost almost yelled. "Listen, you have a lot of fans already. Our side needs more fans on the other hand."

"No it doesn't."

"You won't get her."

"Barry, I'll have Jane by the end of the week. Wait till she sees him. Them, actually. She doesn't like schoolboys. She'll get my point."

"Uhm, hello, I'm still here!" Jane almost yelled. "Can you two stop acting like two crazy fangirls and show me something that it's useful to our case?"

"Right, sorry. It appears our Margaret was a blood sister with someone called draculasgirl31. They wrote each other a lot of messages each day. Mostly fangirling about vampires and a lot of fantasies on how they want to be bitten and turned, stuff like that."

"Creepy."

"And stupid. Vampirism isn't a disease, you can't transmit it via biting, like rabies." Maura interrupted.

"I don't get it. You say that you're basically in love with a vampire from some movie and yet you claim that the very basis of vampire mythology is stupid?" Jane asked.

"He wasn't bitten before he became a vampire. Let's just say that they took the whole cliche with a young man who is turned by a girl and becomes obsessively in love with her to a whole new level. Anyway, back to our case, do you know this draculasgirl31's real name Frost?"

"Yes. Her name is Helen Luster. And it gets better. She had established a meeting with Margaret yesterday. Something about the last thing they had to do to make it official. No idea what that means, but my guess is that we should talk to this Helen girl."

"You bet. Frost, are you coming with me?" Jane asked. "I may need some help questioning her."

"Of course. And about what Dr. Isles said..."

"Don't you dare try to convert her while I'm not around! " Maura yelled after them. "Don't listen to him Jane!"

"Don't worry, honey, I won't let the big bad fanboy convince me." Jane replied and for a moment Maura was too happy to even notice she had been called honey.
