Thorn nodded, "Very good points there, my dark angel. Just need to fool the current generation right now...Probably witness protection or something...", and Vlad kissed her on the lips, "We will figure it out after we get this sorted out, with you and the girls bonded as actual sisters, turning into vampiresses, and erasing Heather's leukemia for eternity.".
Thorn nodded, and with the news in her mind, she wouldn't sleep easy, with Vlad and herself explaining everything later in the day after everyone woke up for the daily trip to the hospital.
Everyone was understandably shocked yet excited, with Dusk and Eric being so anxiously hopeful, figuring a way to get the hospital to be convinced that Heather would feel better inside a much familiar environment, or maybe hypnotizing the hospital with magic that Heather was a random lady's baby and died if everything went to plan.
The two days passed torturously slow yet fast, and then finally, it was the first night of the full moon, and with the portal bracelet, Vlad got the family to Moonscar Island, after Dusk fed Heather at the hospital, with plenty of support overnight.
Vlad had explained everything behind Moonscar Island, and hearing that the place is full of good magic, with powerful ley lines, they feel more confident.
They went to the middle of the island where the ley lines intersect, some yards off from the plantation mansion, and saw Miss Grimwood, wearing robes.
"Good, good. Everything is here. Girls, change into those robes. Cannot have mortal things inside the ritual. Only robes.", Miss Grimwood complied, and the girls nodded, heading to the plantation mansion to change, and came back with the robes on, seeing that the guys are far from the ritual, but still close enough to watch.
"Thorn, you're the north part, stand there.", Miss Grimwood nodded as the ritual diagram consisted of a narrow cross diamond in etched earth with white chalk. "Luna, on the west part. Dusk, on the east part. I am the anchor, the south part.".
"Now I know why the whole robes thing was a thing...", Luna chuckled as she walked into position. "Will this work?", Dusk had to ask before things start as Miss Grimwood gave a nod. "I really think so, darling...".
"I hope so... I don't want Heather to suffer any longer than she has to.", Dusk started to tear up. Thorn spoke, "Easy, Dusk. We need to concentrate all we got. Keep Heather in your thoughts, okay?", and Dusk nodded, taking a deep breath to steady herself, becoming determined.
Miss Grimwood replied, "Good. Now, stay there.", as she chanted then in Latin, pouring a cauldron of the ritual potion into the etched ritual lines, reaching around the girls in a circle, across the cross-diamond lines, and to her.
"Now, girls, pick up the ingredients of your position.", Miss Grimwood commanded, and the girls obeyed, with Miss Grimwood then looking at Thorn, "Miss Sally McKnight, do you surrender your Wiccan magic to bind the ones west and east to be your family, in blood and beyond?".
Thorn took a deep breath. It was her Wiccan magic that had helped her band inadvertently in some ways, but especially when Ben unleashed his ancestor that pretty much saved everyone's life. But... Heather's life was in grave danger and if this would save her... she would gladly give it up.
"I do.", Thorn nodded. The ritual etchings with the potion shone brightly, and Thorn felt something flow out of her, the feel of her Wiccan magic absorbing into the potion.
Thorn felt an instinct, a strange instinct, and she chanted in Latin as she smushed and mashed the ingredients in her hands, and then let them go into the potion in the circle around her, and the potion changed color, glowing even brighter.
Miss Grimwood then asked, "Miss Abigail Maverick, do you take the ones north and west to bind together, to be your family in blood and beyond?", and Dusk deeply, firmly responded, "I do.", before feeling the same strange instinct, chanting in Latin, doing the same thing as Thorn, with her position's ingredients absorbing and changing the potion as it shone even brighter.
Miss Grimwood then turned to Luna, "And do you, Miss Zoey Williams, do you take the ones south and east to bind together to be your family in blood and beyond?", firmly and strongly asking. "I do.", Luna nodded.
Luna then felt the same strange instinct, chanting in Latin, getting the mashed and smushed ingredients of her position into the potion, changing the potion once more, getting even more brighter.
Miss Grimwood then nodded, "I, Miss Grimwood, am the anchor. As the night shines with the full moon, I now give permission for the ladies to bind to each other. Ladies, use the sharp flint to cut your right hand to let loose three drops of blood into the potion.".
The girls picked the sharp flint stones by them, and cut into their palms of their right hands, and at the same time, on the strange instinct, they chanted in Latin as they bled three drops of blood each, and the potion changed color once again, now bright as the moon.
Miss Grimwood commanded, "Now meet at the center and cut your left hands as well, and hold hands.", and the girls came forward from their positions, meeting at the center of the ritual lines, cutting their left hands, and then held hands in a circle.
They felt the strange instinct again, chanting in Latin as they exchanged blood, and the potion became like a sentient water sprout, wrapping around the girls, and the sprout became three sprouts, with them drinking the potion, and then they chanted stronger and louder in Latin as the rest of the potion flashed millions of color like a Kaleidescope, and dove back into the etchings, deep into the earth, nearly blinding Miss Grimwood and the boys in the near distance.
Then silence came, with the boys seeing the girls down and unconscious, slowly waking up, and Miss Grimwood panted, holding up a hand, checking before nodding, "It's done.", and the boys ran to the girls, widening their eyes as Dusk and Luna now has Thorn's tan skin, with Dusk having Thorn's nose and hair length, and Luna having Thorn's jaw and style of hair, proving that they are actual sisters, triplet fraternal sisters as Thorn is still having her dark reddish-black hair and light green eyes, Dusk is still having her blonde hair and warm brown eyes, and Luna is still having her bright red hair and dark green eyes.
"Wow... wasn't expecting this...", Luna admitted as she looked over her skin. "I mean, I was a bit light skinned but...", feeling awed and shocked and tired.
"I don't really look like me anymore... do I?", Dusk asked as Thorn shook her head, "Somewhat... but...".
Eric leaned down and kissed her on the lips, "You're the same Abigail to me, my special goth. You have your wonderful hair, and your beautiful eyes, and your warm voice. Heather will recognize you; I promise.".
Dusk sighed, "I hope so...", before yawning, "Jesus, I'm bushed...", feeling exhausted, as she can see that Thorn and Luna are looking tired too. Miss Grimwood came over, "I said that the ritual was powerful...Definitely a lot of rest.", nodding with a weary sigh.
"What about Heather?", Eric had to ask. Miss Grimwood sighed, "Right, we... we obviously don't have much time to keep wasting.".
Vlad looked at Thorn, seeing the look on her face, whispering, "Are you sure? We all knew that the ritual was going to be powerful, and I...I don't want to hurt you if you are exhausted already...", as they were going to do it tomorrow night as the full moon still is around for two more nights besides tonight...
He doesn't want to accidentally kill her if she couldn't take the bite, being exhausted...By the moon, he cannot lose her in their lovemaking...He loves her so much...
Thorn sighed, "Is Heather alright for now? Can she last another day?". Eric nodded. "I think so... she might be strong enough for another month or more right now, but we can't wait that long if we want to be sure.", he said.
Dusk nodded, "Family cares for each other.", with an exhale, and Niko replied, "We can still travel back and forth in shifts to check on Heather, right?".
Luna nodded, "That sounds better than waiting around after taking a long sleep. I'm about to beat the hay!", with a yawn. "Then let's just get the rest and recover...", Thorn nodded. "Putting ourselves in danger isn't going to help her, after all.".
The boys took them to the plantation mansion, with thanks to Miss Grimwood on the way in, and Miss Grimwood took a personal portal home, not as exhausted as the girls as she was only the anchor and supervisor of the ritual, planning to tell the good news to Sibella and Andy.
The girls instantly collapsed into deep sleep upon falling into the beds upstairs, with Vlad taking the first shift to go check on Heather by using Dusk's portal bracelet. And so, shifts went on, with each man coming to check on Heather every few hours.
The girls slept the whole night and whole morning before they woke up in the afternoon, with Dusk immediately heading for the hospital to feed Heather, happily finding that she recognizes her mother, even with the differences now, and Eric happily was glad that their daughter is hanging on.
Luna and Thorn were relieved to hear that, and was quite famished, eating serving after serving of food that Niko brought from the mainland. Soon, the evening approached, and it was time for Vlad and Thorn while Niko and Luna headed out to explore the island.
Vlad sighed deeply, "I'm sorry that this moment couldn't be so romantic...I'm not mad or upset, as this is desperately important in the sake of Heather...But still...", as he and Thorn walked to the master bedroom...
"I know... it wasn't really the same for Andy and Sibella though, was it?", Thorn chuckled as Vlad smirked. "True, it wasn't anything beautiful you'd see on the screen or something.", he joked. "Still, it was their honeymoon and all, so... the situation was much more pleasant.".
Thorn kissed him on the cheek, and then on the lips, "Doesn't mean we couldn't make this pleasant.", and Vlad purred softly, "That, I can agree with you...And you're sure that Dante is fed and all?".
"Oh, he's tuckered out after his outing on the island. First time for him in Louisiana...", Thorn smiled before wrapping her arms and legs around him, kissing him passionately as she grinded against himself, and Vlad groaned, growling and purring in pleasure, kissing her back as he flicked the door open with his magic, and closing the door behind them after walking in.
"You alright?", Vlad asked as Thorn nodded, "Yeah... just... a bit nervous right now... I talked with Andy about how this usually goes..."
Vlad caressed her cheeks, "Sally, it's normal to be a bit nervous...After all, I would be worried if you weren't...I love you to the moon and back...", and Thorn chuckled softly, "That's a whole lot...I love you too, Vlad. Do your thing...", with a nod.
Smirking as Vlad knew what she meant, he flicked his hand, and both of their clothes vanished away, leaving them to be nude, and he murmured huskily, "You're beautiful as always...We don't have to rush too fast...I want you to feel good and comfortable when it's time for the turning bite, okay?".
Thorn gave a small nod, "Okay then... well, I guess then we just do what we've done before...". She ran her fingers along his chest, "Please do tell me when it's going to happen...".
Vlad nodded, whispering, "I will. I would never hold it back.", before kissing her with tongue, caressing her body with his hands, hearing her moans of pleasure. "Vlad...", Thorn moaned out as the two of them slowly made their way onto the bed while wrapped in each other's arms.
Vlad purred lowly and whispered into her ear, "Sally...", squeezing her buttocks, kissing the skin around her ear, causing her to moan even more loudly, instinctively moving her hips, grinding against himself.
He growled softly as he licked her neck, moving lower to take a breast into his mouth, and Thorn gasped, "Yes! Please, Vlad!".
"You're always so easy to figure out with your weaknesses.", Vlad teased as she moaned again, "With you, of course...".
Vlad chuckled softly, "I hope your weaknesses of pleasure are the same after being turned, my beloved siren...", and Thorn whispered, "Or maybe there are new weaknesses of pleasure...We'll find out soon enough, but first, please, keep making me feel good!".
Purring into her nipple, Vlad growled, "As you wish.", moving one of his hands to squeeze and caress the other breast, with his other hand moving into her vagina, going for her bundle of nerves.
Thorn quickly gave out a very loud moan when she felt him down there, her body wrapping around him tighter as she cried out with more pleasure. Whatever Vlad was doing different tonight was working...
Vlad grinned victoriously as he kept rolling the first breast in his mouth, the other breast squeezed tenderly or passionately in alternating seconds by his hand, and his other hand pumping and pinching into Thorn's bundle of nerves of her vagina, her moans becoming louder and louder as he pleasured her swiftly, but not too swiftly as he is intent to make it last enough to be really good.
"Vlad... please...", Thorn moaned. "I want to do it now... I want you inside me... and then when we get close to release... turn me.".
Vlad paused, leaning up to look at her, "You sure, Sally? I'm not even pleasured yet...", and Thorn moved her hands from his neck to his cheeks, "Please, Vlad...I'm already wet.".
He smiled gently, "How could I ever refuse a beautiful woman like you, my zing?", and he kissed her on the lips tenderly as he let go of the breast with his hand, and released his other hand from her vagina, his hands now placing on her hips as he positioned himself, and came into her, earning Thorn to cry out in pleasure.
"Vlad!", Thorn shouted as she dug her fingernails into his back, trying to break skin almost as she hung onto him for dear life as he pushed his way deeper inside of her like so many times before.
Vlad purred as he went to lick her skin, from navel to neck slowly as he pushed deeper, finding the G-spot, making her shout in pleasure again, "Yes!", and he then thrusted steadily, not too slow or too fast as he kept licking her skin, Thorn crying out in pleasure repeatedly.
This lasted for several minutes before Vlad can feel his release coming close, and he exhaled, "You're close too, Sally?", and Thorn nodded, "Yes...", looking at him with a tender, loving smile, "I love you, Vlad Dracula...".
Vlad smiled lovingly, "I love you, Sally McKnight. Keep thoughts of me, our son, the family, okay? I'm going in...", and Thorn nodded, "Kiss me, and then turn me...".
Vlad did just that as he leaned forward to kiss her on the lips before the two of them started to French for a few moments, both of them getting closer and closer to their limits.
Vlad went harder in his thrusts as he released from Thorn's wonderful lips, looking deeply into her eyes, and she smiled, nodding ever so slightly, knowing him, and he took a deep breath, revealing his fangs as he leaned in, smelling so deeply, kissing her neck before finding a spot, and then went for it.
"AH!", Thorn cried out as she felt his bite, right around the same time the both of them hit their release. It probably was the only thing that was keeping the pain she was now feeling from being excruciating.
Thorn kept thoughts firmly in her mind of Vlad, their son, their family as she felt Vlad press harder, feeling love, hope, determination, strength, devotion, and belief in the bite, feeling the pleasure mix with the pain, feeling hot and cold at the same time, hearing and feeling the beats of her heart slowing down, her body shuddering yet shutting down, and she couldn't stop keeping her eyes open before closing them.
She kept her thoughts as she didn't fight the pain, accepting it, seeing a flash of colors, before she then heard her heart beat again, hearing more things than possible, opening her eyes to see Vlad looking at her with concern and love, seeing everything with incredible eyesight, and she started to talk when she felt fangs against her tongue, widening her eyes, and whispered, "Vlad?".
Vlad released a breath of relief, "Sally...", happy to see her beautiful eyes again, having worried for a moment there, and Thorn's belly growled, and she felt a hunger. Vlad bit his wrist, giving it to Thorn who took it instantly, gulping and suckling.
"Easy, easy... not too quick.", Vlad warned her as Thorn slowed down... a bit. "Sibella warned you about this, right? That she had to do the same with Andy at first?".
Thorn nodded as she paused momentarily, "I ain't disgusted with this as it's you...I feel the urge to feed and mate/love you furiously...it's like...", and Vlad smiled in understanding, "It's your zing working.".
