Morgan was talking about the old days, when her and Szuzzanna had grown up together and the fun that they used to have. Szuzzanna was only half listening, she had other things on her mind at that moment. She gestured for Morgan to come over to the bed where the nightclothes were. Morgan picked up the clothes and started towards the dressing room. Szuzzanna grabbed her by the hand and asked, “Where are you going, we are old friends, you can change right here.” Morgan started to argue but Szuzzanna mezmerized her and made her forget about any modesty and she returned to the side of the bed. Szuzzanna thought to herself, “If it is that easy to persuade everyone, then I will be able to get whatever I want.” Szuzzanna then moved next to Morgan and looked into her eyes. "Why don't I brush you're hair and tell you about what I have been doing?" asked Szuzzanna. Morgan walked over to the dressing table and retrieved the comb and brush and brought them back to Szuzzanna. Let’s get changed first and then I will brush your lovely hair. Szuzzanna reached out and started to help Morgan take off her top. When Morgan was naked above the waist, Szuzzanna put the nightshirt over her head and slowly pulled it down over Morgan’s soft flesh, brushing her soft skin very gently with the backs of her fingers. She then helped Morgan slip out of the pants she was wearing. Szuzzanna then climbed up onto the bed and motioned for Morgan to sit in front of her so that she could brush her hair. Szuzzanna gently stroked Morgan’s soft luxuriant hair until it was silky to the touch. Szuzzanna then pulled herself right up to the back of Morgan’s body so that they were touching each other. Szuzzanna put her arms around Morgan’s body and pulled her close. Morgan twisted slightly so that she could partially face Szuzzanna. It appeared that Morgan was going to protest the actions, but Szuzzanna caught her gaze and held it for what seemed like a lifetime. Morgan slowly leaned in so that their faces were nearly touching. She slightly opened her lips and pushed them gently against Szuzzanna’s. They embraced in a most passionate kiss. Still kissing, they leaned back in the bed and began discovering each other.
When Szuzzanna awoke, Morgan was still lying next to her. She had the most innocent and peaceful look on her face. Her soft lips were slightly curled into a smile as if she were dreaming of wonderful things. Szuzzanna reached over and brushed Morgan on the cheek. Morgan slowly opened her eyes and saw Szuzzanna next to her. She felt so much love for Szuzzanna that she could not help what she did next. Morgan spoke, “Good morning my love, last night was amazing. I never knew that I could feel that way about anyone.” Morgan then leaned in and gave Szuzzanna a loving kiss on the lips. At that moment there was a knock on the door, and then it came open. It was Valdarius, “It is time to get up ladies, we have a full night ahead of us and we had better get started if we plan on completing all of our tasks.” Morgan looked confused and turned to Szuzzanna and asked, “Full night? but the night was almost over when we arrived here!” Szuzzanna smiled and informed her, “Yes my dear, but we have slept through the whole day, and now we must get ready for tonight.” Szuzzanna then directed her comments toward Valdarius, “I would like to discuss the idea of having Morgan here as a full time guest. That is if she would be interested in staying.” Szuzzanna looked at Morgan and she already knew that Morgan would say yes. Morgan got very excited, looked at Valdarius and exclaimed, “Oh! that would be wonderful. Please sir, I will be no trouble.” Val looked at the both of them and stated, “There are many things that we must discuss, and many things that Szuzzanna must tell you. If you agree to the demands and are aware of all circumstances, then and only then, will I agree to this. Szuzzanna cut him off, “I will tell her everything and then I will discuss it with you later, How about tomorrow night?” Valdarius agrees, “That will be fine, if she still agrees to it.” Valdarius entered Szuzzanna’s mind, and told her that in order for Morgan to stay, they must feed from her. Szuzzanna did not know if she liked the idea of Valdarius feeding from Morgan. Before Szuzzanna could even finish the thought, Val explained that he was the creator of this line, and until she learned everything she must know, that she could not create a new fledgling. Val told Szuzzanna that when the time came for the final transformation, it would be her that Morgan drank from, not him. He also assured her that Morgan would be hers and he would not have to feed from her again after tonight.
Szuzzanna agreed and they prepared Morgan for what was about to happen. Morgan willingly agreed, as if she really had a choice. Valdarius looked deep into Morgan’s soul. Morgan felt the most intense passion and sense of comfort that she could ever imagine. At that moment Val leaned into Morgan and proceeded to drink from her. After Valdarius drank from Morgan for a few moments, he looked up at Szuzzanna and said, “It is now your turn, but you must be very careful not to take to much or you will kill her.” Szuzzanna began to drink from Morgan. It felt different from anyone she had fed from. It was more passionate and seemed to fill her up more. Szuzzanna felt that it was time for her to stop feeding, it was hard for her to stop but she knew that she must. Szuzzanna looked at Morgan and saw a look of complete satisfaction on her face. Morgan looked at Szuzzanna with intense passion, leaned forward and seductively licked her own blood off of Szuzzanna’s face. Szuzzanna gave Morgan a deep, loving kiss that seemed like it would never end. Finally Val spoke, “Now the process has begun, let us go now.”
The night was filled with more high society gatherings, and after hours shopping. The whole time that they were out, Valdarius had control of Morgan’s mind so that she would not know what was going on and she would not remember any of the events taking place. None of the dealings that they had with the town folk that night were memorable, except one.
On their way back to the edge of town preparing to return to the castle, they were getting hungry. Valdarius decided that this would be a good time to show Morgan what it was that they did to revitalize themselves. He told Szuzzanna to take Morgan, still under his control, and see if they couldn’t find someone. Szuzzanna got all giddy inside like a schoolgirl on her first date. She grabbed Morgan by the hand and started running down the ally between two rows of houses. As they came to the end of the ally, a sizeable man rounded the corner and strolled right towards them. Szuzzanna and Morgan slowed to a meandering pace and just kind of sauntered up to the man, who was looking down at his feet the whole time as if trying to make sure that they were still working. Szuzzanna put Morgan directly in the gentlemen’s path and then went around behind him. The man almost ran right into Morgan before realizing she was there. He looked up at Morgan and immediately recognized her. He began to speak “Oh, my dear Morgan, what on earth are you doing out here at this hour? I don’t seem to be getting much sleep since Szuzzanna has gone missing.” Morgan just stood there as if she did not recognize the man. At the same time all of this was going on, Szuzzanna was getting herself into position to strike. When she heard the mans voice, she got a piercing chill that took her breathe away. She of course immediately recognized the man’s voice. It was her father.
The man then sensed that there was someone behind him and swung around defensively. When he saw that it was Szuzzanna, he froze in mid-motion. His eyes began to fill with tears and he started to reach out to hug her. Almost as if there was a force between them, he stopped. All of his emotions vanished as if they were never there, and he stood there staring at her so deeply that you would think he was trying to see into her soul. That made Szuzzanna very uncomfortable and she had to turn away. She felt like fleeing, but could not make her feet move. Her father then spoke to her, “My dear sweet girl, what has happened to you? How could you be tempted by such evil?” Her reply was, “But father, this life is perfect, no worries about money or health. I will live forever. Please let me transform you so that we can live together forever.” Her father raised his voice in reply, “How can you call it a life, you are not a living being, you are dead for all purposes of the word, you are dead to me! I will do everything within my power to make sure that you and the one who created you are destroye
d.” With that said, he pushed his way past Szuzzanna as if she were not even standing there. This upset Szuzzanna and tears were streaming down her face. She reached out in anger to grab her father, she thought of killing him for what he had said. He stopped and glared directly into her eyes, she knew that he meant what he said and was afraid of what he would do. She also knew that it would be best if she just killed him now and not have to worry about him later, but she could not bring herself to do it, after all, it was her father. Szuzzanna looked him in the eyes one more time, said, “Good bye father.”, released her grip on his arm, and then turned and ran away crying.
Szuzzanna ran past Valdarius, obviously upset and transformed herself into a giant Raven right there in the middle of town and flew away. Valdarius knew that there was something wrong and he started after her, almost forgetting about Morgan. He was brought back to the moment when he heard Morgan shouting for him. Valdarius turned towards her grabbed her by the
