Chapter 14 people, Kim is going to change and I decided to start it off with a light and kind of humor-ish chapter.
enjoy!
When you find the one…14
The poison had long since started to kick in. It had been a total of 5 hours since it had started working and so far Kim didn't seem to have a lot of problems with it. It seemed like everything was going to turn out just fine. Every now and then the girl would move slightly, muscles would spasm lightly and soon peace returned. Though it was only 5 hours after Shego had bitten her, there were loads of things that still could go wrong. The vampire just had to wait and see for herself how Kim would react the upcoming few days.
The first night was a disaster. Kim was groaning in her unconscious state, tossing and turning. She worked up a sweat, her temperature rising dangerously. The poison would've rendered Kim unconscious eventually, she just got a head start thanks to Shego. It made the situation a bit more doable seeing as Kim wasn't suffering under the first signs of the poison in a conscious state.
Another few hours passed by and the red head remained in the same state. Sometimes calm and sometimes struggling against the pain even in her unconscious state. One night had passed and the next followed quickly but not quick enough for Shego. The vampire had dealt with looking at her red head for 24 hours now and the situation wasn't getting any better. Kim's skin had started to change; her muscles seemed to be re-ordering themselves.
Every now and then the sound of bones snapping into different places filled the room. Seeing and hearing someone transform was an unpleasant event. Especially when you loved the person in question so much. It was hard not to think that Kim could die any second of the day. It was hard to see that the unconscious girl was in pain. This all became even more unbearable because of the sounds the girl produced. Agonizing shrill screams and groans, along with snapping bones and fingers that clenched around the sheets.
The day crept by slowly whilst the night seemed to last no longer than 10 minutes. It was becoming quite clear that Kim was finally taking the poison in. She had changed over the past few days and on the final day she finally became silent. She no longer screamed, she no longer groaned, the bones had stopped snapping. Her appearance wasn't completely different, one could still tell that it was Kim. Though her complexion had become a lot paler, smoother and without expression.
She became completely calm and for the first time in days Shego could relax and sit back. With a heavy sigh she fell into a chair opposite from her bed. Her eyes remained on the red head but she still felt like a weight had been lifted from her shoulders. The tiniest chance had existed that Kim could've died but luckily that didn't happen. She knew Kim would wake up feeling like she had wrestled with 20 tigers at once. But she too felt like she had been wrestling with a tiger or 2. Being tense for 3 days straight wasn't good, not even for a vampire.
On day two the beating of Kim's heart had stopped, she was now heartless sorta speak. Shego had been mildly disappointed when she wasn't able to hear the steady beating of Kim's heart. It had always been a soothing sound for the vampire's ears. Soon after that Kim didn't smell like food to her anymore but she smelled good nonetheless. It was just a matter of time now before the red head would wake up and Shego wouldn't want to miss it for the world.
All that filled the room was Kim's steady breathing without the sound of a beating heart.
Shego sighed again and rubbed her eyes slowly. She loved the girl dearly and that wasn't going to change but she was going to miss some aspects. Though the negative sides came with some positive sides as well. Kim would be faster, they could hunt together, and she could defend herself easily. It was safe it was just…. Safe.
"What's with the long face?" She heard a tired voice, which she hadn't heard in days, ask. She looked up from behind her hands, seeing a grinning Kim Possible with eyes almost squeezed shut. She got up from her chair and in an instant she was beside Kim.
"How are you feeling?" She asked with an edge of concern.
"Like I've been trampled by a herd of cows." Kim croaked out and Shego couldn't help but smile at the reply.
"Good, that's how you're supposed to feel." She said and she caressed the pale cold cheek of her now vampire-lover. To her it didn't feel that cold it felt normal. Before Kim had changed she had felt red hot to the vampire but Shego loved the red head, cold or warm-skinned.
"H-how did you feel?" Kim asked.
"I felt… less worse but that's because I had more contact with vampires. I stood close when it came to the bloodline and DNA. I still felt like shit though," Shego explained and she pulled her hand back from Kim's cheek. "I felt especially hungry." She added thoughtfully and right at that point a loud growling sound was heard throughout the room. "And so are you I notice." She added playfully and she moved away, dodging a weak attempt of a slap from the new vampire.
"No need to hit me." Shego said crossing her arms as she watched how Kim finally completely opened her eyes. She opened them slowly, blinking several times as if she were a firstborn and had never seen the world before. Shego watched in awe how Kim's dark green eyes had changed into a vibrant more lively green. Despite her expressionless complex her eyes had become more expressive, livelier.
"I feel weird." Kim stated simply as she sat up.
"Well duh you've been unconscious for 3 days and you don't have a functioning heart anymore. I'd say you're doing just fine." Shego replied satisfied. "Come on let's get you out of bed." She added and she offered the new vampire her hand.
Kim accepted and her green-eyed lover pulled her to her feet. She wobbled a bit as if this was the first time she stood up straight. She grabbed onto Shego's shoulder, keeping herself from falling. Everything around her seemed to be buzzing; she heard noises she didn't even know existed. Her vision was slightly glazed over as everything in the room started to twirl. Her eyes were hypersensitive and so were her ears.
"Kim… Kimmie." She heard Shego call her. At first it sounded like Shego was yelling and than it quickly turned into a whisper. She let go of Shego's shoulder and covered her ears as if she were in pain. She felt Shego's arms wrap around her waist as she saw the ground coming towards her. "Be careful." She heard Shego murmur and she shivered as she felt the vampire's skin upon her own. Shego's breath even made her shiver as it came in contact with her skin.
"S-SHEGO!" Kim gasped out and her eyes fell shut. She felt hot, she felt cold and she couldn't stop shivering. Shego's grip tightened around her waist and she was pulled against the woman completely.
"Kim." She heard Shego say softly. Two hands were placed upon her cheeks and she was forced to look into Shego's eyes. "Calm down, you'll be okay just take it easy." They locked eyes and Kim was finally able to focus on something. Her bright green eyes fell upon Shego's with a sharp gaze. Her own hands came up and she placed them upon Shego's cheeks in return.
"Shego." She whispered and the older vampire smiled at her.
"I'm here." Shego said softly and she placed a kiss upon the red head's lips. Her lips lingered there for a few seconds before they moved to the girl's forehead. She showered Kim with kisses until the young, new vampire was finally calm. Kim simply drowned into Shego's embrace, realizing that everything was going to be okay. She had Shego by her side and she knew she could handle the situation as the woman held her close.
"Thanks." She murmured shyly avoiding Shego's gaze.
"How about we get you something to eat now okay?" Shego said and before Kim knew what was going on she was dragged out of the house by the hand. She was running! She was running faster than she could ever have imagined! She was actually keeping up with her lover. It felt amazing! The wind in her hair and not a single problem when it came to stamina. She looked up at her fast lover with a sparkling smile on her face.
"This is amazing!" She blurted out as they ran.
Shego looked back for a moment, giving the girl a dazzling smile before she continued to drag her along. Somewhere in a forest they came to a stop. Kim was still marveling about the fact that she wasn't even out of breath. Though a sudden attack of dizziness overcame her and she panicked, grabbing onto Shego's shoulders. In a flash the more experienced vampire had her arms wrapped around the red head again. She held Kim up, holding her close and soothing her just like before.
"It's okay… it's okay. It'll be over soon; it's just a new experience for your body. Your senses are sharper so you must understand that you're a bit hypersensitive until you get used to it all." Shego explained placing a kiss on the top of Kim's head. After several minutes of soothing the girl everything was well again.
"Thanks," Kim repeated in that same shy manner. "Again." She added with a sheepish grin.
"Don't mention it my pretty little vampire." Shego said and Kim practically glowed as she heard the word vampire coming from Shego's mouth. "I'll be right back, just watch closely. You can actually see me when I'm running now. Though keep your ears sharp as well you'll be astonished by what you can hear in this forest." Shego said and Kim nodded as she focused completely on her surroundings. Shego smirked and ran off, looking for a prey for both Kim and herself. She knew the girl would eventually taste human blood but the blood of a deer was tasty enough to satisfy the young vampire's needs. Though she knew she would have to convince the red head into tasting blood for the first time.
Soon enough she had found the perfect prey, knowing that Kim could hear her she killed the animal as silent as possible. Vampire or not Kim was still a young sensitive girl. Shego knew that the red head would complain about killing some poor animal. She hauled the animal over her shoulder and made her way back to where Kim was standing. She approached the new vampire, almost laughing when she saw that the red head was going nuts from her surroundings.
She remembered the first week she had become a vampire. Her ears had felt like they were burning. She could hear so many things, from the breathing of people on the streets to the small insects that crawled behind her walls. She had almost driven herself to the point of insanity but somehow she managed to control her senses right before that actually happened.
Chuckling softly she placed her prey on the ground and grabbed onto Kim.
"Calm down." She whispered and Kim instantly relaxed at the sound of Shego's voice. The older vampire focused on their food, dragging it into Kim's view. "Dinner is served." She said and she motioned towards the dead deer. Kim gaped at Shego for a few moments, mouth hanging open in disbelief. "You can go first.. I think you'll suck the entire thing dry to be honest." Shego added and Kim remained in shock.
"THAT? Is my food?" Kim asked and Shego gave a slight nod.
"Just take a deep breath, trust me your appetite will kick in. If not I'll just make you." She explained with a grin on her face.
Kim did as she was told and inhaled deeply. Shego watched in fascination how the girl's eyes darkened and within seconds Kim was upon the dead animal. Without a single hesitation the girl bit into the deer's neck and started devouring its blood. It was a first for Shego, seeing a new vampire act like this. Grinning widely she watched how Kim sucked the animal dry in an instant. She had already predicted that the red head would claim the animal for her own.
10 minutes later with a fully satisfied look on her face and blood dripping from her mouth she turned to look at Shego.
"Uh princess," Shego started and she snorted with laughter. "You got a little something." She said and she pointed at the area around her mouth. Kim looked at her in embarrassment but before the red head could remove the blood around her mouth Shego had stepped in.
Even as a vampire Kim swallowed loudly, impressed by the sudden closeness. She watched how Shego got closer and closed her eyes as she felt the woman's tongue upon her skin. Shego licked every drop of blood away, her tongue tracing Kim's lips last and slowly. Eventually the red head caved in and leaned in all the way. She captured Shego's lips in a harsh kiss, almost clashing their fangs together. Shego groaned feeling the girl move against her and she pulled out of the kiss.
"Easy, easy," She murmured against Kim's lips. "You've got to be careful with those dangerous fangs you have there." Shego said with a grin and Kim pouted slightly as she fingered her fangs. "Nothing to be ashamed of, you can't actually hurt me but it's not a pleasant feeling, some fangs in your bottom lip, I can tell you that." Shego added and she moved a thumb across the cheek of the younger vampire.
"Sorry." Kim said sheepishly and the older woman winked at her.
"Think fast!" Shego suddenly blurted out and she grabbed the girl's hands, jumping as high as she could. She pulled Kim along, throwing them several meters into the air. Suddenly at their highest peak she let go of the red head, grinning at the new vampire.
Almost blinded with panic Kim started to fall down again and fast. She was heading towards the ground quickly but she resisted the urge to scream her lungs out. She saw a flash of black pass her, knowing that it was Shego. An almost inaudible thud was heard and she looked down to see Shego smiling up at her. Though Shego's smile disappeared when she noticed Kim wasn't reacting at all. By now the vampire should've turned in the air and she was supposed to land on her feet. That however wasn't going to happen if Kim didn't act.
Thinking fast herself instead of letting Kim think, Shego moved underneath the girl and braced herself. She slid her feet apart and caught the girl easily. Kim, paler than ever, even for a vampire, clutched to Shego's shirt.
"You know… for a vampire you're quite a coward." Shego commented and Kim looked at her with wide eyes. "You weren't this scared when you were still human, what changed?" She questioned and Kim let out a deep breath.
"Habit, it's human to be scared when you're heading towards the ground without something to prevent you from dying." Kim replied.
"Well you're not human anymore and you'll have to learn things like this eventually. No need to be afraid a fall like that can't possibly kill you." Shego reassured her and she lowered the red head back to her feet. "Tell you what, why don't you start with something easy."
"Like what?" Kim questioned suspiciously.
"Climb that tree." Shego replied simply and she flipped her thumb over her shoulder, pointing at a large tree. "Just run up to it and climb it and don't think TOO much!"
Kim eyed the tree and with a doubtful look in her eyes she started running. She started running as fast as she could, almost flying past Shego in high speed and running towards the tree. She had no idea what she was about to do. Right before she ran into the tree she launched herself, easily jumping 10 meters high. She gasped and reached out, clutching onto the tree as a scared little girl. She clutched it tightly and forced herself to look down. She wasn't nowhere near the top yet but she could see a bright smile on Shego's face.
"I did it!" Kim shouted down proudly.
"Come on princess! Climb a bit higher!" Shego shouted back and Kim looked up, looking at the top of the tree.
Without a second thought she started climbing again. Clawing up the tree as quickly as she could but making sure she had a firm grip. Even though the fall couldn't kill her, she didn't know what could and couldn't hurt her. She wasn't eager to find out so she remained cautious nonetheless. She eventually reached the top and smiled as she could enjoy the amazing view. She could see Shego's house from her point and Shego seemed a lot smaller all of a sudden.
"It's amazing up here!" She shouted at her lover as the wind blew through her fiery red hair.
"Really?" She heard Shego question in a soft voice. Right… better senses. Kim thought for a second.
"Yeah… yeah… it's absolutely… breath taking." Kim sighed happily and she let her eyes wander across the gigantic piece of land. It was entirely covered in trees and plants. Somewhere in the distance the ground had formed into hills also covered with trees. She could hear the animals rousing through the forest and she couldn't even smell them.
Suddenly a branch snapped beside her, startling her and making her look to the side in an instant. Shego stood beside her, holding a big teasing grin on her face as she looked at her startled red head.
"Sorry love, bit jumpy are we? You really need to learn to focus on more than one thing." Shego said and Kim rolled her eyes at the cocky vampire. "I just came up to enjoy the view with you." She heard Shego say in a somewhat sweeter tone. "And I've got to admit, it really is breath taking though not as breath taking as you of course."
3 days ago Kim would've blushed, all she could do now was look away like she used to do whilst blushing. The couple of vampires enjoyed the view, sharing a few precious and calm minutes together. The calm moment was broken, however, when a loud smacking sound echoed through the forest.
"Shego!" Kim shrieked and she rubbed her behind. She was sure that Shego had left a print she could feel it sting even as a vampire!
"I couldn't resist princess." Shego teased and she repeated her action, this time smacking Kim on the other side of her butt. "You know I love to be…. Naughty." And she placed a kiss beneath Kim's ear.
"Enough! I'm so gonna get you for that!" Kim growled both annoyed and playfully.
"Well in order to do so," Shego started and she backed up a bit. "You've got to catch me first." She added and Kim watched in amazement how Shego launched herself towards another tree, far away from the red head. She watched how the experienced vampire landed gracefully on a branch and blew her a kiss just to taunt her.
"Not so tough now huh? You gonna come and get me or what? My feisty little vampire." Shego spoke from her branch.
Kim's eyes narrowed slightly and she looked from her spot back to Shego's. She checked the space between the tree she was standing in and the one Shego was keeping occupied. She had no idea what she was doing up until the moment she started moving. She ran down the branch she was situated on, perfectly balanced. With a cute roar she launched herself out of the tree.
Shego watched in surprise how Kim launched herself straight towards her. She had never thought the girl would actually have the guts to jump that far. It looked amazing, even though Kim was moving fast it seemed like the girl was approaching her in slow motion. Even the cute roar Kim let loose sounded incredible to her ears.
It all went incredibly good up until the moment Kim actually reached the tree. Panic returned on the girl's face and she held her hands out, trying to grab onto the tree. She clawed at the bark of the tree, thinking she had herself secured. Oh how wrong was she.
Suddenly she was falling again; hands still out stretched as she watched how Shego got smaller again. With a loud thud she landed on her back in the dirt and leaves of the forest ground. She groaned softly but to her amazement she didn't feel any pain. She closed her eyes and sighed heavily, not even attempting to get up.
A soft thud reached her ears and swift, light footsteps followed. What followed after that was loud laughter, annoying loud laughter coming from her lover. Kim groaned again and she opened her eyes to see a smirking Shego hovering above her.
"You're such a rookie."
Well aren't we happy that Kim is finally a vampire? No she doesn't glow either, her skin is paler, her eyes are lighter, her senses are better, she has fangs and she drinks blood. She can also keep up with Shego.. jump at least 10 meters high and at least 8 meters far. Hell yeah she's a vampire! Though the special abilities have yet to show themselves... Hmm what to do what to do.. I don't know what kind of Powers I should give her.. =O! Have any ideas? just tell me!
anyway.. she's a vampire.. Shego's a vampire.. Kim can't climb a tree and Shego will be having a lot of fun the upcoming days with such a... rookie! Or will a sudden battle never give Kim the chance to train? who knows!
Up to the next chapter!
Yours truly,
