Penny runs down the stairs faster than she ever thought her legs could carry her. That could not have been real. Last night she had drank an entire bottle of wine. This had just been soe sort of alcohol induced dream. Kurt had tried to kill her. Sheldon had killed Kurt. Then he and his girlfriend had dumped his body down an elevator shaft. Before she rounds the corner of the landing to the third floor she feels arms wrap around her waist. Before she can let out a scream she feels herself flying back up the stairs. Before she knows it she is flat on her back on Leonard's couch with Amy standing over her.

"Let me go! Murderers what the hell are you doing." she screams trying to get up but Amy sits down next to her and holds her down.

"If Sheldon had not showed up you would have died. Kurt was here to eliminate you if Sheldon had not intervened you would be the one down that elevator shaft right now." Amy tells her calmly.

"Did you turn him into that you demon? Is that why he called you master?" Penny asks scared. "Did he sell his soul to the devil for eternal life?"

"Kurt was vampire long before I made his acquaintance." Sheldon tells her. " You can think me a demon if you must but there are no devils, there are no angels, there is no God." He tells her calmly. Penny gulps looking into his stoic face, if he feels bad for what he had done or said his face holds no clues.

"What about her." She asks pointing to Amy. "Is that why she is here? Did you turn her into what you are?" Penny asks Amy's face looks like it holds a touch of empathy. That maybe she at least feels bad for killing someone and kidnapping another.

"I have been what I am for almost as long as he has. Soon you will be too." Amy informs her as she bends down and bites her neck. Draining her until she is weak and limp on the couch. "Do you want to give her your blood? Our should I give her mine? She will be tied to whoever she takes the blood from."

"You do it. There is only one female I care to be tied too." He tells her giving her a rare indulgent smile. Penny is still conscious and his genuine smile concerns her more than his normal face.

"I won't take either of your guy's blood." She protests and Amy makes a tsk tsk sound as she bites her wrist and drips blood into her mouth. Penny tries to move her head away but Sheldon moves so that he is behind her holding her head still.

"Now be a good girl and hold still."he says his deep voice strangely calming. Penny knows struggling is futile. Sheldon could easily snap her neck off, rip her throat she feels a strange peace creeping over her like falling into a deep sleep.

"The process has begun." Amy tells him sitting up. "Penny is dying now and over the next twenty four hours she will become vampire. What should we do with her until then?"

"I would say put her back in her own bed but I am given to understand the process should be observed."

"Yes, also if we were to leave her alone and she were to scream out during her transformation someone would go check on her. To them it would appear that she was dead there would be no pulse. They would bring her to the hospital and be baffled at a screaming corpse."

" I say we put her in Leonard's room." Sheldon's says as he throws her over his shoulder and carries her lifeless body into Leonard's room and flops her down Leonards bed.

"What about Leonard? I mean I am sure he would not mind a passed out Penny in his bed but he will be home soon won't he?" Amy argues as she follows him back out into the living room. "You are going to have to turn him as well."

"If I do I want to at least give him the choice he deserves that. Besides he is coming up the stairs now I can hear him." Sheldon says before grabbing her and pushing her down onto the couch. Covering her body with his and kissing her deeply then breaking away and skimming his mouth down to her ear. "Just follow my lead." He whispers before hitching a leg around his waist and kissing her again pressing her deeper into the couch.

Leonard trudges up the staircase feeling worn out. He had not been able to locate Sheldon all day long. Then the mysterious Dr. Seropian had shown up at his lab and asked him out to dinner. Which he had politely declined on the grounds that he had a girlfriend. She had looked angry that he dared to decline her offer and had stormed off. Leonard supposed that a woman of such great beauty was to used to being turned down often. Leonard had never turned down a woman that looked like her, or anyone . Where was she four months ago when he was lovelorn over Penny?

All in all the last two days had been extremely weird and he just wanted to go home. Now he hoped Sheldon and his lady were out of the apartment so he could gather his thoughts. He storms into the door and thinks the apartment is clear until he walks by the couch and sees Sheldon and his girlfriend locked in passionate embrace. Her legs are clamped around his waist and her hands are locked around his neck. To Leonard it looks like the only thing keeping this from being extremely awkward is the fact they are still clothed. He would have sneaked past and avoided them but Sheldon looks up and gives him a smile like the cat who ate the canary.

"Hello Leonard home early?" He asks still laying on top of Amy.

"No right on time." He says as Amy tips her head backwards and looks at him upside down.

"Have a good day Leonard?" She asks grinning.

"Not as good as you two apparently." He says Sheldon finally gets off of Amy and stands up.

" Leonard a word in private please?" He asks before bending down and tickling Amy on her ribs. "Don't you go anywhere." He tells her in a deep growl as she giggles.

"I'll be right here waiting." She tells him winking.

"Let's go into the hall shall we?"Sheldon asks moving to the front door and Leonard follows him.

"What's up?" Leonard asks.

"Leonard to use your own words. I am going to need you to make yourself scarce." Sheldon tells him crossing his arms over his chest.

"You want me out of the apartment?" Leonard asks incredulously.

"Leonard you told me if I ever found a female that was a member of my species then you would be more than happy to give us some alone time." Sheldon reminds him raising his eyebrows."Well I found her now vamoose."

"Yeah but I never thought it would happen." Leonard mutters. "Why can't I just go to my room and be quiet."

"Leonard I intend to coitus her and I do not intend to be quiet." He tells him Leonard's eyes get wide and he puffs out his cheeks. Before turning on his heel and heading down the stairs. "Call before returning." Sheldon calls as Leonard flees down the steps.

Leonard raises his hand to acknowledge he heard him before disappearing around the bend. Once in the lobby he takes out his phone and dials Howard. Maybe they can go to a movie or something. He knows that Penny is at work and he doesn't want to bother her. When he dials the number it goes straight to voicemail. His phone rings in his hand and he sees that it is Raj.

"Hey something weird just happened." Leonard says as he answers the phone.

"I'll say that hot doctor in the office next to Sheldon's asked Howard out to dinner tonight." Raj tells him.

"Really? She came by my laboratory and asked me out earlier too. I turned her down of course."

"You turned her down? Dude!"

"I have Penny." Leonard reminds him.

"Excuse me !Mr. Hot blondes want to date me." Raj says.

"I take it Howard said yes?" Leonard asks.

"Of course, I would have said yes too...if I could talk to women ." Raj tells him. "So you want to do something?I figure Sheldon is busy with his new girlfriend."

"You have no idea...getting busy with her is more like it. When I came home from work they were practically dry humping on the couch. "

"What?"

"Yes, then get this he takes me out into the hall and tells me to make myself scarce. That he intends to coitus her and he does not intend to be quiet."

"Shut your ass!" Raj exclaims.

"Yhesh… Yuck...I know." Leonard says trying to shake the image of Sheldon on top of Amy from his mind. "Then he told me to call before I returned."

"Wow." Raj says stunned. "This has been a weird day. So they are playing all three Matrix movies at the theater downtown that could take some time."

"I will meet you there." Leonard says hanging up right now being out of the house for six hours seems like the best idea ever.

Amelia sits up on the couch with her legs curled against her chest waiting for Sheldon to return.. If she had a heart still it would be racing. The moment she meet him she knew that she was in trouble. That he was going to challenge her but she had no idea how the time she was thinking only of his intelligence. How it might be hard to deceive him into taking her blood, into taking her with him. The come to find out she was the one who had been deceived. Amelia did not know if she could trust him. Sheldon told her he was her most devoted follower. He had just killed Kurt before he could get to her. Yet she still had her doubts, because he had succeeded where no one had before.

When she was turned it was believed her purity was made her special was her purity. That believe stretched to when she was coronated as queen. It was a believed a pious vampire free from sin and the entanglements that sometimes overruled logic would make the best ruler. Not that over the years her purity was not challenged and put into question. Many a vampire seeking power and favor tried to make their way into her bed chambers, to no and never interested her. Amelia thought perhaps she had been born without the part of the brain that produced lustful desires. Though she enjoyed reading about the romantic adventures of her favorite heroines in novels she had no desire to be involved herself. Whenever a courtier or council member tried to pitch woo to her he was summarily dismissed. Amelia had lived most of her life looked away in her chambers shunning the in her work.

Never had she even felt the faintest flicker of passion and she felt it was all for the best. Such involvement weakened the mind, clouded judgement. Then the council member Sheldon Cooper had entered her life. Just during their conversations on the phone and through letter she felt herself falling for him. Amelia had no idea what is looks were but she fell for his sharp tongue, keen mind and almost hypnotic voice. After years of correspondence she jumped at the chance to meet him.

Right away she knew something was different about him. A small flicker began deep in her belly. Amelia could not be too upset with Sheldon at his deceptions to her when she had deceived him so heartily when they first meet. To be synced she only had to have a thimbleful of his blood taken from anything, It had been desire that made her want it directly from his body. All she could think about from the moment her eyes landed on him was what he would taste like on her lips. The flicker in her belly had ignited into a flame when her mouth had made contact with the smooth skin of his long elegant neck. Amelia also did not have to be guised as his lover when they traveled that had been pure desire on her part. She could have been a long lost cousin, a colleague he was boarding for a few weeks. There was only one part she wanted to play however.

When they had kissed that first time on his bed it was her first kiss ever, It was then she realized what she had been missing. Why people went crazy and did terrible things in the name of love. His lips upon hers fanned the flames in her belly further. She knew then that she was in trouble that she was down the rabbit hole and she would never be the same. He had done what countless men had tried and failed to do without even trying. She was wrapped around his little finger.

Then what had just happened on the couch. The flicker in her belly had consumed her and she was now in flames. It was still just an act to him. A ruse to complete the mission he had been set on to protect her. Even the comment he made that she was the only woman he cared to be tied to did nothing to assuage her fears. She was falling hard and fast for him and there was no going back to the life she used to lead. For all she knew the kingdom she had built was gone. Sheldon walks back into the door and strides over to her. Penny may be the one going through the transformation right now but it was her that was in flames.

"That should take care of him for the time being." He tells her.

"Good." She tells him quietly.

"I told him that we would be having loud coitus and he should stay away." He smirks.

"Very clever make him feel uncomfortable in his own home." She tells him getting up and walking away. Their close proximity is make her feel foggy again. He follows her his long strides like that of a predatory animal.

"I thought I told you to stay put." He tells her seductively.

"I thought that was for Leonard's benefit?" She asks as he grabs her and kisses her again. Pinning her against the wall lifting her up so that she is wrapped around him. "I thought you had never done this before?" Amy asks stunned as she breaks away from his mouth.

"Do you want to hear my theory?." he asks breathlessly staring into her eyes.

"Your theory about what?"as asks unable tear her eyes away from his sensual mouth.

"I have been drawn to you Amelia, drawn to you since before we ever met. I felt like there was an invisible tether pulling me closer and closer to you. I have survived all these years by neer sticking my neck out. By making my contributions to science quietly and never getting involved with politics. Yet your policies intrigued me, I became involved when I knew I should be retreating back into the shadows. The way you have worked tirelessly to make us equal with the humans. I became your biggest supporter, wormed my way up the ranks I had once shunned so I could meet the woman who had sparked my interest."

"I was fascinated by you as well." Amelia admits to him.

"Of course you were becuase you and I were destined. I have been alive for a long time. I have seen some extraordinary things. There are some things that can not be explained no matter how hard I have tried. One phenomenon I have researched through the years is rare cases of vampires powers combining. To mated vampires whose connection is so strong that they are are almost like one person. Many have tied to replicate the experience but it can not be duplicated. There is no rules for creating one of these pairings, and it happens so rarely that I have only read of it. With your powers and my intellect there will be no stopping us. We could take down those who seek to overtake your thrown just with us."

"What are you saying? You think we are some mythical vampire super couple?" Amelia asks trying to break away from him. "Things like that don't really exist."

"By all logic out existence in of itself is mythical. But we do exist… tell me Amelia don't you feel it too? You are drawn to me. You can't explain it but you are. You are questioning all your years of cultivating your image of being the virginal queen. You are thinking about throwing it all away."

"You are making me question everything." Amelia admits and he kisses her again and beings to walk with her wrapped around him like monkey. He brings her to his bedroom and lies her down on his bed. Kissing her softly as his hands work on the buttons of her blouse pulling it off her shoulders. Amelia eagerly tugs off his shirts and pulls his shoulders down so that he is covering her with his body.

"Are you sure you want this?" he asks capturing her chin with his hand. "If you are doing this just to save your kingdom I warn you I may be wrong. All I know is that I am drawn to you, that your blood tasted like ambrosia when it should have repulsed me. "

"Yes, I do." she whispers. " Though I am scared I don't know if I will do this right."

"I have no experience either. I have never wanted this before you." He says looking at her like she is precious glass that might shatter beneath him. Amelia reaches up and touches his face lightly tracing his jawline and mouth with her fingers.

"I trust you." she tells him and she knows that it is the truth. Maybe she shouldn't, there is still so much to process. Yet she feels like if she can't trust him then there is no one left in the world to trust. With that declaration he removes the rest of her clothing and she tugs off his. Amelia braces herself for pain as he moves between her legs and finds that there is none. Sheldon moves in and out of her gently and the pleasure she feels is insurmountable. She grabs onto him as waves on intense sensations overtake her. Amelia can't not explain the feeling like she is losing part of herself and gaining something else.

"Do you feel that?" he asks almost scared and she knows that he feels the same way she does.

"Yes, what is it?" she asks.

"We are becoming one my queen. I am losing myself in you."

"I think it is the other way around." she moans as she starts to reach a crescendo. They both find their release and lay there staring at each oter breathless

"We have both lost ourselves. It is like going through the change again."

"What will happen now?" Amy

"We will just have to find out." he says calmly.

When she was little sometimes she would have this nightmare. That she was in bed but she was floating above her body and she could see herself lying there asleep. Then she would crash back down inside her body and be awake. Only she could not wake up or scream. She was just frozen there on the bed unable to move or make a sound. As much as she thrashed around internally she could not make her body move.

At first she thought she was having the dream again. Then she realized with horror that this was no nightmare. This was really happening. She was lying in Leonard's bed and she felt like she was tied down only there was noting binding her. As much as she tried to move any part of her body she couldn't.

The pain was so intense she wanted to scream out but she could not make a single sound. It felt like she was both burning and freezing at the same only part of her that felt like it was still functioning was her brain. Which was racing a mile a minute.

Flashes of Kurt his face twisted in anger has he gripped her arm painfully. Then his face as he lay there with his throat ripped out. Sheldon had done that. How in the hell had Sheldon who threw his back out picking up a book had destroyed Kurt. He had dumped his body down an elevator shaft. He had sat back while Amy nearly drained the life out of her then Sheldon had held her head as his girlfriend dripped blood in her mouth. Penny thought she knew him, thought he could not hurt a fly. But he had allowed her to die.

Penny knew now that, that was what was happening. She was dying. Or she was dead. She was not sure. Only that she knew that whenever this was over she was not going to be the same.
