A/N: Sorry, you guys, but you're gonna have to wait one more chapter to get what you have been waiting for. It would have been too long if I had written everything in one go. Besides, I think it'll be better the way I had broken things up as this unplanned two-part Full Moon event.
Wednesday night started out as any other usual night.
It was an hour after Anna had dinner when things had settled into some sort of state of normalcy between Elsa and Anna. They were sitting at the dining room table on opposite ends of each other.
Anna was at her end, petting Olaf while he slept in her lap with one hand and flipped the page of her current new book in the other. On her right side was a mug of hot chocolate* with mini marshmallows floating at the top. She didn't seem to care that she was drinking a hot, chocolaty beverage at the butt-end of summer and Elsa didn't care either. Yet she didn't care for two reasons. She was on the opposite side of the table and she was busy using Anna's laptop reading poetry and doing other poetry related things as well.
Anna tried her best to pay attention her most recent novel, Stranger In A Strange Land*. It had been recommended by one of her very few American friends saying that it was worth the read even if she wasn't a science fiction fan to begin with. Yet since reading the novel after she finished Paul Clifford, all she's been able to think about was how her relationship was similar to that of Mike and Jill.
Like Jill, Anna was a loser in love with a beautiful and strange creature that seemed human. And to be fair, at least on Mike's part, he was human in terms of species, but he was completely Martian in his upbringing and his acquired abilities, powers, knowledge, and approach to life. Yet both Elsa and Mike were beautiful and charming in their own rights and they both learned about human culture in a scientific point of view, but that's where most of their similarities end. At least Mike is nice enough to honor Jill as a 'water brother' and has her travel around with him across the States whereas Elsa does diddly-squat to compensate Anna for her emotional woes of being in love with her. However, Anna couldn't blame Elsa for being so painfully oblivious to her feelings for her. She just saw almost everything with a critical eye anyways, so it's not really her fault. But it still pained Anna to see her every night so beautiful and composed and there.
It was at that moment that Anna decided to actually risk looking at Elsa because she compelled to do after comparing Mike, the Man from Mars, to Elsa the seductive vampire with beauty surpassing any other beautiful goddess and for that matter even surpassing Aphrodite and with the intelligence that would make all the current great combined minds weep from the awesome power of her cognitive faculties. Anna was certain that if Dr. Frankenstein decided to combine all the genius and madness of Einstein, Freud, and Hitler and with the body of Arnold Schwarzenegger into one monstrous man and he had a face-off with Elsa then he would wet himself at the sight of her.
Anna had to stop herself there because she suddenly quivered with joy and her groin burned into a fiery pleasure just thinking about all that potential power Elsa could unlock and still maintain a slender and sexy yet malleable figure that she could play with for hours and in her control. If ONLY she could play with it. If only she had the chance to command the vampire in the realm of the bedroom and any other usable space and surface, she would be happy to be dominated by her vampiric lover in all other aspects of their relationship. Heck, she could care less who dominated who if they wound up in an abandoned wood or in a quiet and peaceful barn with lots of hay to roll around in as long as she was able to give Elsa everything she deserved in those sweet, hot, surrendering moments of the soul and searing, perspiring flesh sizzling like bacon in a frying pan under the heat wave that was their torrid love-making.
Anna blinked. She noticed something wet collected on her lips. She looked down and saw that she was drooling and some of it fell on Olaf. Her face turned into a cherry. She quickly wiped the undignified drool off of her precious furry baby boy muttering quiet apologies to Olaf as he surprisingly stayed asleep. Afterwards, Anna tenderly woke him awake and placed him on the ground to find a new spot to sleep. On his way to down the hall Anna watched him pick up his favorite mouse toy from behind the couch and carried it in his mouth. The sight just made Anna a bigger idiot than she already was and had her cooing and melting from the cuteness that the white kitten embodied.
Before Anna could continue being the biggest goof ball ever, however, Elsa finally saved her from insanity and looked up at her from the behind the laptop screen.
"Anna, what are you doing?"
Anna glanced over at Elsa with part curiosity and part horror.
"I….I was cooing at Olaf because of how adorable he was just now."
"Why? What did he do?"
"Oh…um well I had to make him move from my lap so he could more peacefully somewhere else and as she went down towards the hall, he picked up his favorite toy along the way and carried it in his tiny mouth."
"Why did he have to leave?"
"I accidentally drooled on him."
"Why were you drooling?"
"I was daydreaming about something and it made me drool subconsciously."
"Okay. Was it about food?"
Anna hesitated to give away too much detail about her wild fantasy but she didn't want to have Elsa keep guessing. "Yes. I was thinking about bacon."
Elsa shrugged her shoulders. "Okay."
"So, Elsa, how's the poetry thing going for you?"
"It's good."
"Is it helping you to understand human culture even better?"
"Yes. It has helped a great amount, but I fear I am lacking one crucial understanding of human culture."
For some reason Anna thought back to when Mike completely understood humans once he learned how to truly laugh. Once he learned that he understood humans and the concept of love. Anna was hopeful that maybe Elsa was in a similar predicament as Mike and that maybe she could help her.
"Are you having trouble with understanding why people laugh?"
"No. I get humor. Sometimes vampires like to laugh on occasion, but it's usually a sadistic or cruel sort of laugh. But nevertheless, vampires know about the concepts of laughter and humor."
"Then, what are you confused about?"
Without looking up from the computer screen Elsa said, "Love."
"Oh. THAT's what you're confused about. But Elsa I thought I told you about human sexuality and different kinds of love and all that other stuff about love."
"You did and I get all of it. What I don't get is you."
"What? How could you not get me? We've been-"
"I mean to say that I don't get what your feelings for me indicate. Why are you hot?"
Anna blushed. "What?"
"Why are you hot, Anna? Why do I sometimes see a red aura around your body with a heavy and hot energy around you?"
The blush disappeared and was replaced by a tint of darkness in Anna's eyes. "Oh. Ummm…"
Surely, Anna didn't know exactly what Elsa was talking about, but she felt disappoint nonetheless about getting her hopes up that Elsa was actually calling her sexy or, at least, physically attractive.
Elsa was still waiting for Anna to give her a response.
"I don't know what to say about that, Elsa."
Before Elsa could elaborate on what she meant to say, an abrupt sound disturbed their peace in the apartment. Both Elsa and Anna turned their heads toward the door.
"What was that?"
"I don't know. Maybe it's some neighborhood kids playing a practical joke or something."
"Well, I'm going to check it out. I don't want to be disturbed by some punk kids doing stupid shit or else they're going to get into deep trouble if they don't cut out their antics."
"Just be careful, Elsa, and try not to be too violent with them. They're still just some stupid kids."
"Fine." Elsa stood from her spot at the table and began to walk and she spoke as she did so. "Sometimes I think you're too generous and kind toward other undeserving humans for your own good, Anna."
"It's better that there are people like me to give other people hope for the best of humanity. Besides, my optimistic nature isn't harming anybody and you don't seem to be affected by it much."
Without glancing over her shoulder, Elsa replied to Anna. "I only tolerate ninety percent of humans because of you. Don't push your luck though. I'm still entitled to being engaged by ignorant and oblivious creatures such as the average human being."
"Thank you, Elsa."
Elsa grumbled to herself as she neared the window. She pulled the curtain back and was careful not to look at the moon to see if she could spot any punk kids doing something they shouldn't be doing. Soon, she spotted them and saw them spray paint a wall outside on the ground level of the apartment building. She gritted her teeth. She didn't care much for vandals. She was certain she would teach the two teenagers a lesson if need be.
Without much hesitation, Elsa turned into thin, black smoke and teleported herself to the outside where the teenagers were. When she got there, she remained hidden and growled at them. Once they turned their attention toward Elsa who was shrouded in darkness, they asked who was there and what they wanted.
Elsa altered her voice to sound more gruff than usual and threatened the hooded, teenaged kids of what she would do to them if they didn't stop what they were doing and leave as soon as possible. Yet they didn't take her threat to heart and laughed at her. She sneered and stepped out from the shadows.
As soon as the teenagers calmed down from their laughter and saw the intimidating Elsa with an angry glare in her eyes, they regretted their negligence and gulped in fear. Elsa made quick work with disciplining the punk kids and lifted her right index finger so that the boys were lifted from the ground up two feet in the air. Then, Elsa snapped her hand toward the direction of the wall which caused them to be slammed into the wall that they vandalized. She dropped her finger so that two hooded teenagers could crumple to the ground.
And so, Elsa waited for the delinquents to get up and try to question her authority again. The moment they got up and looked at Elsa's steaming face, they pleaded for mercy before running away from her without looking back.
After ensuring herself that the human punks wouldn't bother coming back ever again, Elsa turned around and found a surprise. It was another vampire. He had sharp, gleaming fangs protruding from under his upper lips and slicked-back, black hair.
The vampire had a lusty gleam in his eyes as he approached Elsa. She stood still waiting for the opportune moment to fight him off. He seized her by throat and pinned her to the wall where the punks left their graffiti mark on it. The vampire was about to dig his fangs into her neck when Elsa decided to strike him with a fist as heavy as an iron girdle. Her fist made an impressive dent in his face that his left cheek ended being a crater of skin. He popped his chin up to bring his face back to its normal state and then looked back at Elsa.
"Forgive me. I did not know you were a vampire. I thought you were some stupid and vulnerable mortal who would have made a tasty treat for me."
Elsa took care of her fist. "Did your mate reject your request for sex?"
"No. I don't have a mate yet. But I am hungry for blood. What are you doing out by yourself young one? What is your name and what clan do you belong to?"
"I'm Elsa and I don't remember who my clan members are. I lost my memory of them."
"Poor, sweet soul. I pity you. I'm Orlok* of the Heinrich clan. What are you doing out by yourself? Why are your eyes not red yet?"
"I don't intend on looking at the moon tonight. I've had my fill of blood as of recently and I don't need any more for tonight."
"Aw, but young Elsa, you must indulge yourself in a blood fest. Surely, you haven't fully sated all of your hunger for human blood." Orlok then pointed up the apartment building. "What about this place? Surely, you would find plenty of victims there."
"No thank you. I'm not hungry tonight."
Orlok looked back at Elsa. "By the way, child, why do you wear the clothes you have on?"
"It's my disguise while I roam amongst humans so I may have fresh pickings of fine blood specimens if need be."
"Oh….Very clever of you, Elsa. But why don't you partake in some good old fashioned fun for once. Just take in the moon's beauty and borrow its energy for your hunting."
"I'm fine, thank you."
"Poor, stubborn child. Obviously, whoever was able to look after you was unable to teach you all that you needed to know before being separated by your clan and community. Here. Let me help you."
Elsa tried to keep Orlok at bay, but he seized her shoulders in a vice grip and then forced her head up to look at the moon. Elsa tried to look away, but the moon's influence on her was too powerful. She thrashed violently in Orlok's grip as she battled with the moon's power inside of her and growled like a ravaged animal looking desperately for meat to feast upon. Elsa continued to thrash in Orlok's arms as her eyes flickered back and forth between gentle blues and angry reds.
At length, Elsa's eyes settled on blood red and she shoved Orlok away from her in pure rage. She turned around to meet him and he was smiling. He succeeded in turning Elsa into a bloodthirsty vampire.
"Now, you may enjoy the benefits of being a vampire."
Elsa flashed her fangs at Orlok. "Shut up!"
Orlok had a sadistic smile on his face as he began to walk backwards pleased with himself.
"You're welcome, my darling young one, Elsa. In good time, you will understand what I have done for you and silently thank me in your head as you feed off a young and beautiful woman to give you the best blood and strength for your body."
Elsa quickly grabbed a nearby rock. "Shut the fuck up!" Then she chucked it at Orlok's head as he continued to walk backwards into the shadows and it hit him square in the face, but he kept on smiling at her until he vanished into thin smoke and teleported somewhere else.
Elsa sneered and quickly faced the front of the building. She closed her eyes and tried to change herself back before returning to Anna. But she had trouble turning back to normal. She tried and tried, but she could not get rid of all of her anger. She only could subdue it.
With all that she could to herself for Anna's sake, Elsa teleported back to inside the apartment.
Asterisks (*) Galore: The first asterisk about the hot chocolate being drunk in the summertime: this is a reference to my own life experience. I was so influenced by Anna's love for chocolate portrayed in both the movie and fanfics that I wanted to know what it felt like to have hot chocolate in the summer. And I only did this on rare occasions when the nights were cool enough and I mainly did it within the month of June. I stopped before July.
The second asterisk is a reference to how I am currently reading Stranger In A Strange Land and how I saw similarities of Anna's relationship with Elsa developing in this fanfic to the relationship that I perceived to be between Jill and Mike. I had started reading this mid- to late-June and hoped to have been finished within a month, but I'm still reading it because my summer was busy and I'm busy doing school work again, so I don't have as much free time as I would like to speed-up the process of finishing the novel. However, I am somewhat glad I'm taking so long so that it remains in my mind longer and fresher and that I recently discovered a nice little reference that is somewhat related to Frozen. The bottom of page 324 and the top of page 325 are connected. In the former page, the character Jubal talks about one of his sculptures as the "Little Mermaid". She is not a mermaid nor a full human, but it the reference to the original and more grim fairytale "The Little Mermaid" which Disney presents us a sugar-coated version of the classic fairytale (as they do with most other fairytale classics) and that the next page has Hans Christian Andersen name on it. He is, of course, the original author "The Little Mermaid" and "The Snow Queen" which is what Frozen is based off of. Not only that, but Stranger In A Strange Land (a famous sci-fi novel) was written by Robert A. Heinlein and his name is mentioned, among others, in the non-related Elsanna fanfic, Anna Summer's, P.A by hmselsanna in Ch. 17 when Elsa brings Anna to her bedroom for the first time and they 'do stuff.'
The last asterisk is a reference to the character Count Orlok from the silent, German-Expressionist film, Nosferatu, in which Orlok is essentially Dracula with a different name. The film itself is an unauthorized adaption of Bram Stoker's vampire novel, Dracula, which I had to read for class before my midterm but I didn't finish it and yet I still got a perfect score on my midterm. And now I have Dracula to finish as a leisure reading project along with Stranger In A Strange Land as well. Nosferatu was not approved by Bram Stoker's wife and was brought to trail which resulted in supposedly having all of the copies being burned. However, one copy had slipped through the cracks and was recopied and now the film is widely available and is considered a cinematic masterpiece. You can find it for free on YouTube and other sites but it may not be free on other sites though. Although, I changed Orlok's appearance for the sake of the fanfic as to separate him from his original state as he appeared in the Nosferatu film.
