Beyond This Illusion

Mina shivered, but drew herself closer into Jiresue’s arms. “Don’t stop…” she whispered into her ear, gently tilting her head back. Jiresue smiled, and nodded. “I cannot. Once I begin, there is no turning back. You must trust me to do this, otherwise the process will just kill you. Do you trust me?” Without hesitation, Mina responded with a firm, “Yes.” The woman kissed Mina’s cheek, then brought one hand to brush her fingers through the girl’s hair, and the other pressed against her back to keep her still. Jiresue kissed her neck, feeling the pulsing vein throbbing against her lips. After a moment, she opened her mouth and pressed her ivory fangs to Mina’s skin. The girl shuddered, but did not protest. Instead she pressed even tighter to Jiresue, clinging to her. Jiresue held her, ready to keep her still. As gently as she possibly could, Jiresue pushed her fangs into Mina’s skin, the warm crimson blood dripping onto her lips and into her mouth. Mina gasped softly, biting her lower lip to stifle a gentle moan of pain. Jiresue drank for several minutes, and each second Mina became quieter. Finally, she was unable to stand on her own, and Jiresue had to hold her up completely. Slowly, Jiresue lowered her to the floor, continuing to drink until every drop was taken. A soft, quiet gasp left Mina’s lips, the last breath that would ever leave her. Acting swiftly, Jiresue bit into her own wrist, cringing at the slight pain. Immediately she placed her wrist over Mina’s parted lips, watching her own blood drip down into the girl’s throat. When a good amount had fallen, Jiresue sat back and waited.
Nothing happened for several minutes, then Mina’s still body shifted. Jiresue watched intently, her eyes never leaving the girl.

First Mina’s legs twitched, then her fingers, and finally every part of her convulsed and writhed on the floor. A loud, echoing scream of agony came from Mina, and she clutched her stomach and chest in pain. “Make it stop!” she screamed, twisting in every direction. Jiresue remained silent, though the pained expression on her face showed her discomfort with making her lover be in such pain. “Please…make it stop! Kill me, Jiresue, kill me!” Every syllable that left Mina caused more agony to Jiresue, but she knew she must let this continue. Otherwise, Mina would die. A few moments pain would be worth their immortal life together. Mina wanted to die, she wanted this to end now. This pain was more than anything she had ever felt in her entire life, and she wanted it to stop. “Jiresue, kill me! For fucksakes kill me! How could you do this to me? How could you!” she cried, letting out another bloodcurdling scream of agony. Jiresue shuddered, but bit her lip to remain silent. Her lover in such pain was causing Jiresue to wish she had not done this. “It will be worth it in the end my love…just hold on…” she whispered, drawing herself into a small ball on the floor. Mina writhed further, her screams getting louder and her pain increasing. Every second was pure agony. She felt a flame had started in her heart and was now burning throughout her entire body like liquid fire, coursing through her veins and every muscle. She begged and pleaded for death, trying to reach for Jiresue’s hands. Jiresue did not move; she remained silent in the corner and watched Mina shake and shiver.

At once Mina’s body stilled, and remained still. Jiresue did not move or speak, only her eyes remained alive, watching Mina. A soft gentle moan touched Mina’s lips, and her eyes fluttered open. The pain had vanished, going as quickly and it had started. Now she felt no pain, she felt nothing at all. She did not feel her heart beat in her chest, she did not feel blood pumping in her veins, and she did not feel her lungs rise with air. Her eyes came into focus and what she saw amazed her. She couldn’t help but gasp loudly. The colors of the room were alive and vibrant, each shade showing clearly to her new eyes. The smells were different, more obvious, though easily distinguishable. Although Jiresue was not moving, she could hear her eyes blinking. She could hear everything. Her head twisted to the right, and her sharp eyes focused on a small insect crawling across the floor. A normal human would not have heard it, but to Mina it sounded like an elephant.
“You will learn to control your senses,” Jiresue spoke, shifting toward her. Mina snapped back to her, eyes wide and curious. “I will teach you how to focus, and how to use them to your advantage,” Jiresue continued, taking Mina’s hand in her own, “Welcome to your new life.”

Mina blinked, closing her eyes and trying to take a deep breath. She found that her abdomen did not extend, and her chest did not fill. She opened her eyes, and tilted her head to the side. “I don’t need to breathe?” she questioned, trying once more to. Jiresue chuckled and shook her head. “No, you do not. Your organs are dead now. Your heart does not beat, your blood does not pump, and your lungs do not fill with air.” Jiresue entwined their fingers, and pulled her hand slightly. Mina rose then, stumbling at first before grasping to Jiresue for support. “Did my muscles die too?” she asked innocently. “No, Mina. Your muscles will become stronger. You could easily lift me now. As well as the couch. Possibly the fridge too, I haven’t tried.” Jiresue pulled the girl into a tight embrace, and firmly pressed her lips against the girl’s. Mina no longer felt the sudden coldness of Jiresue’s mouth. They felt warm, like a human’s would. Mina melted into her arms, brushing her tongue against her lover’s. The woman smirked, but soon broke the kiss. Pouting, Mina leaned forward for more but Jiresue shook her head. “We must have you feed first, my love. Otherwise you’ll get too tired for our playtime. Now that you are a vampire, I can be as rough with you as I want. Let us find you something to drink, you’ll have to get used to the taste of blood.”

Obediently she followed Jiresue into the kitchen, her eyes constantly looking around her. Although everything had remained the same, her sight took them into a different perspective. It was as if she had been born into a world of black and white, and now reborn into a world of color. Jiresue watched her with an amused look, remembering to her own awakening. The world was different after their death, and being born once more. With dead eyes, everything was alive. Jiresue pulled a small dark bottle from the fridge, and handed it to the girl. Mina wrinkled her nose, and shook her head. “A positive, my personal favorite,” she commented as Mina took the bottle. “What does it taste like?” Mina asked, unscrewing the top of the bottle and cautiously sniffing at it. “Honestly, there’s a slight metallic taste. I suppose it would be like sucking on a copper penny covered in sugar. I don’t know how else to describe it. Just taste it, you’ll like it. Even if you don’t think you will.” With a wrinkled nose, Mina tipped the bottle back to her lips and let the cool liquid touch her tongue. She cringed, groaning. There was more copper than sweetness, but it wasn’t bad. She took a small sip, then set it on the table. Jiresue laughed, smiling. “Yes, it’s better when it’s fresh and warm. I’ll have to get more. For now, you’ll live off this. Drink more.” Mina pouted again, giving her a look of “do I have to?” Jiresue, knowing this look, nodded her head. Mina sighed, but took another sip. It was better the second time around. She took another drink, and another, and another. After a moment, the bottle was empty. Mina whimpered, shaking the bottle. “I want more,” she whined, licking her lips clean. Smirking, Jiresue tossed the bottle into the garbage. “Later. I want to test you out.” She then teasingly brushed her fingertips across Mina’s cheeks, and without another word she took off at top speed through the hallway, out of sight. The girl stood there blinking in surprise, then understood. She was supposed to use new heightened senses to find her.

Giggling softly, Mina sniffed the air. Jiresue’s scent was strong, even if she was no longer in the room. Mina walked out of the kitchen, continually sniffing the air quietly. Although Jiresue could not be seen, Mina could tell exactly where she was without even being in the room. Her scent had trailed down the hallway, and to the right. There was only one door on the right. “You’re in the bathroom, love,” she called. Mina could hear her lover shift, and leave the room laughing. “Good, that was good. Better than I was my first time. Let’s try a harder one, close your eyes.” Mina obeyed, also turning around to add to the effect. She heard Jiresue moving throughout the halls, then there was silence. She counted to thirty, then opened her eyes. This time Jiresue’s scent led to the corner of the room, hidden in the shadows, then there was nothing. Mina frowned, knowing she had used the shadows to move to another part of the manor. Mina approached the shadows, and stood in them silently. “I don’t know how to do this…” she thought, frowning. She closed her eyes again, and thought of her lover. Nothing happened. She concentrated deeper, shutting out everything around her. She pictured Jiresue in her mind, envisioned her taste, her smell, her gorgeous body, and her voice.

A sudden twisting sensation came over her. Mina shrieked, feeling as if her body were taffy and being twisted every way possible. Although she opened her eyes, there was only darkness around her. Shadows, playing and dancing all around. Light then burst into her vision, filling her every pore. Mina collapsed to her knees, choking and coughing. A soft laugh came, and Mina growled. “Oh shut up, I didn’t know what to do!” she gagged, sitting up and glaring at her lover. Jiresue only smiled, then kneeled before her. “I’m surprised you did it. It took me months to get it down, and you did it your first time. You’re a natural.” Mina let out a quiet string of gentle curses, but nonetheless stood and pulled Jiresue up with her. She forced her lips against her lover’s. Surprised, but eager, Jiresue kissed her back just as hard. Mina growled, tracing sharp fingernails across Jiresue’s back. Jiresue shuddered deeply as Mina’s new, stronger nails dug into her soft skin, easily tearing the back of her dress. Mina brought her hands up along Jiresue’s sides, then tore the rest of the dress of the woman’s shoulders. She stood there naked and glowing, gazing into Mina’s eyes. The girl stood there for a moment, eyes flickering with eagerness and lust. Jiresue growled, pushing Mina hard against the wall. Gasping, she pressed herself to Mina’s shivering body, her lips touching every inch of the girl’s neck she could reach. Eagerly Mina pulled her shirt above her head and threw it alongside the tattered and torn gown. Jiresue wasted no time in touching the newly revealed skin with her lips. Biting her lip, Mina arched her back to push her front toward Jiresue. Desperate for more, Jiresue used her own nails to tear Mina’s jeans to shreds, and soon they had joined the torn clothing pile. Both women stood nude, pressed against each other as if this was their last moment together. Jiresue lifted Mina into her arms, stepped into the shadows, and disappeared. Mina tightened her grip on the woman as they travelled to the bedroom. This time her passion covered her nausea and by the time they reached the bed their lips were still together.

Jiresue pushed Mina onto the bed roughly, crawling on top of her and straddling her waist. Mina pushed her own waist up to meet her lover’s. Against her thigh, Mina could feel Jiresue’s passion in the wetness coating the woman’s thighs. Mina smirked and narrowed her eyes, pushing up harder to tilt Jiresue off of her, so Mina could then climb on top of her. Jiresue lay beneath Mina with her own lips raised into a devilish grin. “Bite me…” she begged, tilting her head back against the pillows. Mina did not wait, she pressed her mouth against the crook of her neck and pressed her teeth to her skin. Ivory fangs extended from her canines, piercing Jiresue’s skin like butter. The woman cried out in pain and pleasure, wrapping her arms around Mina’s waist and keeping her held close. Mina felt the warm blood of the vampire touch her tongue, and continued to feed until Jiresue’s grip on her began to weaken. Once again they shifted positions, so Jiresue could feed from her lover enough to regain her strength. Mina felt no pain in this bite, only divine sexual tension.

Beads of perspiration broke out against the women’s foreheads. Jiresue kissed to Mina’s nipples, gently tugging each with her lips. Mina clenched her teeth to quiet a moan. Of course Jiresue tugged harder to evoke the moan, which caused shudders to run along her spine. Jiresue grabbed Mina’s shoulders and pulled her on top of her once more, then pushed her down to her thighs. Eagerly Mina kissed down the woman’s stomach, tracing swirls with her tongue as she went. Upon reaching Jiresue’s legs, she nibbled at the sensitive skin of her inner thigh. Once more Jiresue breathed a moan of pleasure. Taking this as a sign to go ahead, Mina began to inch her tongue closer to her lover’s clitoris. Jiresue hissed, grabbing Mina and pulled her back up to her lips. “No…turn around,” she growled in a dark, seductive voice. Mina blinked but did as told, turning so she was still on top of Jiresue, and her head was between her legs. Jiresue grabbed Mina’s legs and brought them down over her own head, licking up Mina’s thighs. Shuddering, Mina realized she was wishing and licked her own lover’s thighs.

Unable to keep her hunger at ease any longer, Mina shoved her tongue to Jiresue’s wet petals. Jiresue did the same. Their movements were together, every touch in the same place on each other, each sweep of their tongues at the same place, with the same readiness. Mina pulled Jiresue’s clitoris into her mouth and trapped it between her lips, flicking the tip of her tongue as fast as she could against it. This caused Jiresue to claw Mina’s outer thighs and scream in absolute pleasure. The girl slowed then, allowing Jiresue to repeat the action to her, with the same scream coming to her lips. This time she did not slow her tongue, but forced it to flick and rub against the woman’s clitoris as fast as she possibly could. Jiresue gripped onto Mina’s thighs, biting the girl’s clitoris gently.

Simultaneously their orgasms reached their breaking point. Their screams reverberated throughout the room, each woman crying the other’s name in a breathy, shaken voice. Mina collapsed on her lover, and although she did not need breath, she drew it in anyway. Several moments passed before she was able to move. Jiresue chuckled quietly, gently poking the girl’s shoulder.

“Mmmm….” Mina sounded, slowly rolling onto her back beside her lover. “…I’ve never felt anything so amazing.” Jiresue nodded in agreement, pulling her love into her arms and holding her against her chest. “Each time will get better. You are a vampire now, I do not have to be careful with you. We can be rough, and gentle of course too. We are on an equal plane.” Mina mumbled quietly, curling closer to her. Jiresue gazed down on her with a happy smile, kissing her cheek. “Are you hungry, my love?” she asked, tilting Mina’s chin up to kiss her lips. The girl nodded gently, returning the kiss. “What do you say we get something fresh?” Mina blinked, “What do you mean?” With a laugh and a grin, Jiresue replied, “Let’s go hunting.”
