Well my dear readers, here's chapter 2. It's considerably shorter than chapter 1 was, but I will make up for that in chapter 3, which should be somewhere around 5k or 6k or 7k words, considering the amount of stuff I want to put in there. Some of it was supposed to go in this chapter, but I figured this was a good spot to cut the chapter off. So yeah, if the length is somewhat disappointing, I do apologize.

Also, normally I only do the warnings in chapter 1, but since this story is a little... let's call it 'special,' I will say it again here: BEWARE for there is bloody oral sex in this chapter. If you don't think you'll enjoy reading it, I suggest you don't. Though, seeing as this is chapter 2, I doubt you'd be reading this AN if it weren't something you'd enjoy.

Also, thank you very much to everyone who has supported this story! I felt a little weird and uncertain when writing it, but you lovely folks have reassured me that I'm not all that weird. Or maybe I am, but in that case we all are, and that's something I can live with. After all, 'don't you think normal can be exhaustingly dreary?'

The last month had been one of the strangest months Elsa had experienced in her life up until now. And it had all started that one night, when she had taken Anna home with her. After the redheaded beauty had mysteriously disappeared from her apartment again, there had been a few moments in which Elsa had thought it was all a dream.

But it hadn't been a dream, and she was fairly certain of that now. Although she was still not entirely certain of the memories regarding Anna being a vampire. Those might very well have been a dream. Because vampires didn't exist. Or, at least, that's what Elsa would have told anyone before she'd met Anna. Now she wasn't so sure.

The day after that faithful night, she had been bombarded with calls and texts from her friends – apparently they had all seen her leave with 'a cute redhead chick' and they wanted all the details on their encounter. Elsa gave them a general rundown – leaving out the vampire part, of course – and crossly told them the rest was none of their business.

Besides, it appeared as if she wouldn't be seeing Anna again anyway. The girl had probably just approached her for her blood without having much of an interest in her as a person. Surely she would have stayed if she had. Or at least have left her number for Elsa, right? You didn't just disappear out of someone's life if you wanted to build a relation…

And odd as it was, Elsa found herself craving a relationship with Anna. She hardly knew the girl, but she did know she felt attracted to her, and found her extremely pleasing company – not just physically, mind you. And because of that, she had spent a good part of the past month trying to track her down.

Unfortunately for Elsa, there was no record of a Borges family living in town, as far as she could tell. She did come across the family name "Borgia," though. Thinking that maybe she had misheard Anna – an all too real possibility in a loud club – she had actually dialed the corresponding number. The male voice on the other side gruffly told her they knew no Anna, and that the only woman in their family was called Lucrezia – also, they didn't hail from Romania, but Italy – after that he not-so-politely told Elsa to get lost and take a walk. Not in those exact words.

After that, Elsa figured Anna was her age, so she would probably be a student. That made perfect sense, so she decided to call each and every university and college in the area, asking around for her. She felt her actions were a little clingy, but surely she had the right to be at least a little clingy after that night with her. Sadly, this didn't produce any results either – which was the moment she realized she had no idea how vampires aged. For all she knew, Anna could be several centuries old…

She had even gone back to the club where she'd met Anna – dragging her friends along with her, which was an odd twist of irony, she figured – hoping to run into her again. She figured Anna used the club as a hunting ground of sorts. In that case, there'd be a good chance she'd find her around there again. However, all five attempts turned out a bust, and Anna was nowhere to be found.

But Elsa also had no idea how often vampires needed to feed, so maybe Anna just wasn't hungry yet? Or maybe she had different hunting grounds. Or maybe she moved to a different town after every feed. Or maybe she'd… ugh, Elsa had no idea.

And so, eventually, she had slowly started giving up. Anna was completely unfindable, and the only way they'd be in contact again was for the redhead to seek her out. Judging by the way she had left things after their one-night stand, that wasn't going to happen. Besides it had been almost a full month now, and if Anna was interested in her, she'd have been back by now, right? She knew where Elsa lived, after all.

Her friends had kept badgering her to move on, forget about Anna and find herself a new fling. After two weeks searching for Anna, she had begrudgingly given in, going to their usual club not to look for Anna, but to just bring someone home. She had found, however, that men weren't really to her liking anymore. They were all shallow and rude and generally unattractive.

And none of the women could even get close to what Anna had been. Anna had been quite confident, some would even say full of herself, having been certain she'd have sex with Elsa that very night, but it hadn't bothered Elsa in the slightest. All these women, however, were annoying in their pride and unwavering determination.

Needless to say, Elsa had returned home alone every night, ending up in her dark room and empty bed, thinking about Anna. It perturbed her somewhat that Anna had such a grasp on her mind and feelings, but she couldn't help it. Not rarely, Elsa ended up masturbating as she thought about the feisty redhead, working herself to some of her best orgasms yet.

By the time her period came round again, she had given up all hope of ever seeing Anna again. Little did she know how mistaken she had been – and rarely had she been so happy to be proven wrong.

It was a Thursday night, and Elsa was painfully aware of the fact that all her friends were out clubbing – again. However, over the past weeks, she had found out that neither her body nor her mind were made for excessive clubbing. Adding to that was the fact she was on her period again – and she doubted she'd come across another cute vampire. And thus she was now lounging on her couch with a glass of wine and a semi-decent book.

She looked up in surprise when there were three soft knocks on her door – after which there was a somewhat loud thud, sounding as if something heavy was thrown against the wood. She sighed irritably – probably one of her drunken neighbours – and headed to the door, muttering something about planning to murder someone.

When she opened the door, however, she found the redhead she had been looking for. At first glance, Elsa thought Anna was trying to look casual, leaning up against the doorframe with one shoulder, and she was just about to start scolding her for disappearing like she did.

At that point, however, she noticed how Anna looked. Her skin was several shades paler than Elsa recalled, making the freckles on her face stand out alarmingly clear. There were large bags underneath her eyes, and her eyes itself were not the sparkling blue – or even the crimson red – they had been before, but rather a much paler and dimmer shade of something akin to purple.

Taking Anna's appearance in, Elsa realized that she wasn't leaning against the doorframe to look casual, but simply because she needed to support to keep standing.

"Anna? Geez, what happened to you?" she asked, wrapping one of the redhead's arms around her shoulder and half-dragging her to the couch.

Anna chuckled grimly. "Nothing, why do you ask? I'm perfectly fine. What about you? Shouldn't you be out with your friends or something?"

"Not tonight," Elsa answered curtly, setting Anna down. "Now, stop evading my question. What happened to you?"

Anna shook her head with a weak smile. "I wouldn't say anything happened to me, per se."

"Anna," Elsa muttered in a warning tone, not at all liking the evasive answers.

"Fine, fine!" Anna growled weakly. "I may have… forgotten to feed."

"Forgotten to feed?" Elsa asked incredulously. She didn't know how vampires functioned, but she herself couldn't imagine forgetting to have dinner. She'd get hungry. Like, big time. And judging by Anna's current state, vampires were no exception to that rule.

Anna smiled apologetically. "Well, maybe I just… I don't know, abstained? For a while. You know…"

"I don't know," Elsa replied dryly. "Explain yourself." It came out like an angry parent scolding a naughty child, but Elsa couldn't really help that. Nor did she really mind, since it worked, apparently.

Anna took a deep breath before she started to talk. "I… haven't fed since last month, when I was… with you… I mean, I ate of course, like breakfast and dinner and shit. He he, no I didn't eat shit, that'd be-"

"Anna!"

"Right, rambling. Sorry. Euh, so yeah, I did eat normal food, but I didn't feed, which is the word we use for drinking blood. Sorry if I gross you out, by the way, but you did ask for an explanation…"

"I'm good," Elsa smiled weakly. "You say there are more than just you? Wait – don't answer that, it's not important right now. Why didn't you eat? I mean, feed?"

"Heh, funny story, actually," Anna started, looking as if the story were not at all funny. "I euh, I'm a little odd as a vampire, I suppose. You see, I don't like biting people. It's so animalistic and messy. Oh, and people generally don't like it when a vampire starts chomping down on their neck, so there's that. So I try to feed like I did with you, or take some blood from people with wounds. It generally manages to sustain me quite well."

"That doesn't explain your current state."

"You're right, it doesn't. Well, I couldn't find any wounded people to feed off for a while, no grizzly car crashes, stabbings or what have you."

"But you could have just gone to some public place and pick up a girl, right? I mean, with your looks, that shouldn't be too difficult?"

Anna nodded pensively. "I suppose that's true. But… I didn't want to. I tried, once. Found a pretty cute girl in the library, even started talking her up and she seemed cool. Of course, I didn't tell her I was a vampire, that's a bad pick-up line. Anyway, when it came down to it, I just couldn't bring her home. Because I thought of you."

"You thought of me?"

"Yeah, stupid, isn't it? Somehow it felt like cheating or something. Even though you and I aren't actually a thing. So I couldn't get myself to feed."

"And now you're here to feed on me again?"

"What? No… I… Are you on your period again?"

Anna looked genuinely surprised, which made Elsa believe that the redhead wasn't here just for her blood. "Yes, I am. But if you're not here to feed, then… why?"

"Right. My parents are vampires like me. Much older, but that's not important, really. They say I've disgraced them by not being like a traditional vampire, going round biting necks and killing people in stinky alleys behind bars. So they kicked me out, because they're such pleasant people. I… I didn't have anywhere to go, and just started walking around a bit. And that's how I found myself in the neighborhood. I didn't consciously come here… But I'm sort of glad I did."

Elsa chuckled darkly. "Me too. Now get up and follow me," she muttered as she got up and started walking towards the bedroom.

"What? Why?" Anna said breathlessly, apparently exhausted from merely getting off the couch.

Elsa turned around and cocked an eyebrow. "Anna. You look like hell. Seriously, I can't even look at you without feeling pity. So you're going to feed, and that's an order."

Despite her state, Anna grinned crookedly. "Ahw, Elsa, I didn't know you cared."

Elsa frowned at the redhead. "Had you stayed around last time, you would have found out," she replied, more venomously than intended, immediately regretting it as Anna flinched.

"Yeah… sorry about that. It would just have been a little complicated, and I don't do complicated very well…"

"You can make up for it this time," Elsa sighed as she placed a worn blanket over the bed. "Now then, shall we?"

Anna was at the edge of the bed faster than Elsa had expected, pulling her clothes off in the process. Within seconds, she was confronted by the gorgeous body of the redhead, who was now unbuckling Elsa's belt and sliding her jeans down her legs, inhaling deeply through her nose.

Elsa was also quickly undressed, pushed onto her back on the bed, and Anna deftly climbed on top of her, looking down with a questioning look. "Are you sure you're okay with this, Elsa?"

Elsa nodded encouragingly, opening her legs. "Yeah. Don't hold back. You need it, so take it."

Anna nodded, leaning down to place a kiss on Elsa's lips. "I'll linger up here for a while first," she smiled charmingly. "After all, I suppose you don't want to kiss me after the feeding…"

"Not really, no," Elsa giggled, capturing Anna's lips with her own again. She opened her mouth instinctively, letting her tongue slip into Anna's mouth, where it was immediately met by the redhead's, a low moan rumbling between them.

Elsa wrapped her arms around Anna's back, pressing their bodies closer together, enjoying the feeling of the redhead's breasts against her own. As soon as they touched, however, a sharp stinging pain shot across her tongue, after which Anna immediately pulled back, hand clasped over her mouth.

"I'm so sorry Elsa. That doesn't usually happen randomly. Fuck, did I hurt you?"

Elsa tasted the faint metallic taste of blood in her mouth, but it was only a small nick on her tongue – nothing to worry about. She actually started giggling – mostly because of the muffled and poorly pronounced words Anna brought forth due to her now-extended fangs. "Don't worry about it. It'll probably make the kissing better for you anyway," she said with a wink.

"I'm totally sorry! My fangs sometimes pop out when I get really, really horny. I didn't mean to-"

"I know. Just… just kiss me, okay?"

Without further words spoken, Anna launched forward again, resuming their kissing where they'd left it, though more carefully moving with their tongues this time. Elsa didn't mind the fangs as much, especially since Anna took particular care not to draw blood anywhere again.

After a few minutes, Anna disengaged from Elsa's mouth, slowly trailing kisses down her breasts and stomach, moving towards Elsa's center after several aroused growls. Once there, she nudged Elsa's legs further apart, inhaling the scent deeply, before looking at Elsa's face. "If you, you know, don't want to see blood and stuff, you should probably close your eyes," she smiled, revealing her fangs in the process.

Elsa did as Anna told, closing her eyes, draping her arm over it, and then turning her head away for good measure. One could never be too sure, after all. The disgusting smell of her period drifted into her nose, making her cringe just as Anna's tongue stroked across her folds. The vampire immediately pulled back. "Should we stop?" she asked, her voice laced with concern.

"No!" Elsa said vehemently – the kissing and foreplay, however brief, had actually turned her on. "It's just… I don't like the smell much," she added sheepishly, "but please keep going."

Anna nodded – which Elsa couldn't see – and pressed her tongue against Elsa's folds again, moaning loudly as she lapped the blood up. Elsa felt how her tongue cleverly evaded her most sensitive spots – giving her pleasure without actually bringing her close to climaxing. She figured Anna wanted to extend the process for as long as possible, catching up on the feeding she had neglected for so long, and she found she didn't mind.

It was always somewhat disappointing to Elsa when her orgasm arrived too quickly – which happened more often than not – and feeling Anna's tongue exploring her sex without directly stimulating her clitoris was a rather pleasant change of pace for her. This was definitely something she could get used to – especially considering Anna's deft techniques and appealing appearance.

Nonetheless, after nearly fifteen minutes of constant pleasure, Elsa started to crave her release. She waited for another five minutes before breathlessly moaning a soft objection.

"Anna, please. I need… I need you to…"

Before she had a chance to finish her sentence, she felt Anna's tongue moving upwards, gently flicking her clit and eliciting a moan from her throat. She could practically feel Anna's grin against her sex as the redheaded vampire repeated the motion several times. After that, it didn't take very long for her to reach her orgasm, arching her back as she cried out Anna's name.

Once she came down again, she realized Anna's predicament. Without opening her eyes, she turned her head towards the redhead. "Anna… If you need more you can… keep going for a while. Just… gently, please."

She heard an amused chuckle from between her legs. "That's alright, Elsa. I'm good for now. I'll just go and clean up so you can open your eyes again. Without getting nightmares of a terrible and fearsome vampire."

Elsa snorted in a rather unladylike fashion. "I'd hardly call you terrible or fearsome. I'm fairly certain you're the cutest vampire in existence, actually."

She listened to Anna's receding giggle, reaching for a towel – good thing she had the mind to place one within reach – and cleaning herself up. When Anna returned, all cleaned up as if nothing had ever happened, Elsa was sitting on the bed in her nightclothes. Thankfully, Anna looked as if her feeding had completely restored her – her skin was the usual rosy colour again, and the bags underneath her eyes had disappeared entirely.

"So, are you going to disappear on me again?" Elsa asked somewhat sullenly.

Anna looked over at the window for a while before answering. "Not if you don't want me to…"

Her reply brought a smile to Elsa's face as she held the covers aloft for Anna to join her. "Good," she smiled, "because I don't feel like spending another month looking for you."

"You were looking for me?"

"Of course I was looking for you. It's not every day I met a drop-dead gorgeous, sexy girl and have sex with her, you know…"

Anna shifted uncomfortably, hesitantly opening her mouth. "So you're not… disgusted?"

"Why would I be?"

"Oh, I don't know? The entire 'she has fangs and feeds of blood to survive' deal, maybe?"

Elsa couldn't help but releasing an affectionate laugh, stroking her thumb across Anna's cheek. "I admit, the blood is a little gross. But, as long as I'm not the one ingesting it, it's certainly something I can live with."

"… And the fangs?"

"Are you kidding me? Vampire Anna is one of the sexiest things I've ever encountered. Actually, she might be the sexiest thing. Immediately followed by non-vampire Anna."

"You think my fangs and pointy ears are sexy?" Anna asked incredulously.

"Absolutely, and don't forget the crimson eyes. I really dig the crimson eyes."

Despite the uncertainty splayed across her face, Anna giggled softly. When the laughter subsided, she looked at Elsa, opening her mouth slightly. With a soft click, her fangs were extended again, and after blinking once, her eyes had taken their red colour again. "You don't mind this at all, then?"

Elsa gently leant forward, placing a soft kiss on the tip of Anna's nose. "Oddly enough, I don't. I… I really like you, Anna."

Within an instant, Anna turned back to her normal self. "I really like you too," she mumbled softly.

They lay besides each other in silence for a while, both slowly drifting asleep. Just before falling asleep, though, Elsa turned towards Anna, wrapping her arms tightly around the other girl. "I'm not taking any chances tonight," she muttered sleepily.

"Fine by me," came the equally sleepy reply.
