"How could you have let this happen? I thought you of all people would know the importance of a bite Garnet." Pearl's head felt fit to burst. Was someone talking around her? Why couldn't they just let her sleep...
"I'm sorry, my lady... I got too excited, I apologize for my mistake. But please, don't take it out on her... Please..." That voice. She knew that voice. A kind face, a soft smile. Lips against her, on her neck, her chest... Garnet. Something set aflame in her chest, and she pulled at it, trying to figure it out.
"Oh, Garnet... You know I would never hurt you. She can stay, as part of our family. But I'm putting you completely in charge of integrating her." Pearl didn't know what was going on. Who was that?
"Oh, Rose! Thank you, thank you. I promise, I won't let you down." Garnet. Garnet... Pearl groaned and pushed away the fog clouding her mind. Her head fell to the side and her eyes fluttered, trying to open.
"Garnet, it seems your friend is waking up." Pearl blinked and squinted at the woman standing beside her bed. Amusement shined back at her in two dark eyes, the large woman standing in a perfectly natural position that for some reason felt oddly commandeering. Pearl felt the need to cower, but fought against it. She looked over and her heart stuttered, her cheeks burning. Garnet rushed to her side and grabbed her hands, kneeling beside her.
"Are you feeling alright?" It was a whisper, feeling so much more personal than it should.
"I... I think so..." Pearl sat up and Garnet rose to sit on the side of her bed.
"Well, I'll leave you two to get situated." Rose gave them an amused smile before walking from the room, closing the door behind her.
"No one will disturb us. On Rose's orders." Pearl nodded along to what Garnet was saying but found herself confused.
"Her orders? I don't understand..." Garnet chuckled and shifted closer to her. The close proximity made something burn inside Pearl's stomach, her heart beating at an alarming rate.
"Rose is our alpha. I'm sorry, I got a bit too excited the othe' night... I bit you, and turned you." Garnet looked away, ashamed. "I understand if you hate me. This isn't exactly the easiest life. But I swear to you, I will forever be by your side."
"Wait, bit I understand, but turned?" Garnet chuckled and reached for the drawer from the bedside table. She pulled out a knife and Pearl's eyes widened, her confusion only growing as Garnet brought the sharp edge to her own palm and quickly slit a line across it. Pearl felt her stomach growl and something sharp dig into her bottom lip, and she parted her lips in surprise. After running her tongue over her teeth, she found her canines had grown twice the length they had originally been. "What in the..." The smell of something sweet caught her attention and she looked down at Garnet's palm, watching blood pool in it. Her stomach growled again and she licked her lips, confused but also so very hungry.
"It's best to drink from the one that turned you, first. So here, drink." When Pearl seemed unwilling to make the first move, Garnet pressed her palm against her lips. Pearl's tongue ran over the cut and they both shivered, Pearl's hands wrapping around Garnet's wrist and upper arm to keep her from moving. She gave a low moan as she drank, and Garnet groaned, leaning into Pearl until their foreheads touched. Pearl gave another lick of Garnet's palm and pulled away from her, her lips bright red, blood dripping down her chin and onto the bedspread. Garnet couldn't help herself, she grabbed Pearl's face and pulled her into a kiss, licking the remaining blood off her chin. "I have died everyday waiting for you... I've spent my every waking moment searching for you, and I didn't even know that who I was looking for all this time... was you." Garnet sighed and cupped Pearl's cheek.
"I don't know what this feeling is, but it burns. It's not a painful burn though, a burn that can't be described. I wish to be with you always..." Pearl leaned forward and kissed her again. "What are we?"
"I would have assumed the blood would have tipped you off. Vampires." Pearl nodded and bumped their noses together.
"Does this mean I'll never die?"
"No. Not as long as I am by your side, and I swear never to leave it. I have loved you for a thousand years, and I'll love you for a thousand more." Pearl smiled and cuddled into her.
"I never want to leave your side, Garnet."
"You'll never have to, my love." Garnet sighed and pulled away from her to stand. "I really need to show you around though. Your new body will take some getting used to. It's a lot stronger than a normal human's, bruises less easier." Garnet shot her a wink and Pearl found the fire ignited once more in her stomach. Garnet's eyes widened and she gulped, leaning towards her. Pearl could smell something, something exremely sweet, but she couldn't put her finger on just what it was. She took a deep breath and sighed, her eyes closing as she tried to detect what it was. A soft pair of lips pressed against hers and she sighed, leaning into Garnet's body fully. "The tour can wait. I have something else I'd like to do right now, and from the way you smell, I know you feel the same." Pearl's eyes widened as she placed the smell. It was Garnet. And arousal. Garnet was... Before she could blink Pearl had Garnet pressed against the bed underneath her, staring up at her in shock.
"How did I-" Garnet chuckled and pulled her down into a kiss.
"The strength takes some getting used to. I'll explain everything later, but now..." Pearl squealed as they were flipped back over and a pair of lips pressed against her neck, her clothes ripped away from her before she could process it. All she knew was that something very good was about to happen, and she was going to enjoy it so very much.
