Vivienne

When Faye said she wanted to sprint, Vivienne didn’t realize that she wouldn’t be able to keep up with her fast newborn.  She’d finally caught up to Faye as she was cleaning her face off in the cold salt water lapping lightly on the beach.  Catching the scent of salt and blood mixing together, Vivienne slipped behind Faye and started pressing small kisses over the length of the Korean vampire’s neck.  Hearing a quick heated gasp, Vivienne molded her body into Faye’s and clutched her partner’s tight tummy and began to sway lightly. 

 Feeling Faye’s hands work their way around her hips, Vivienne wrapped her free arm over the top of her partner’s chest and continued their dance.  A few more desperate kisses trailed up to Faye’s ear before Vivienne whispered, “Beautiful in blood, my love.”  She licked the thinning streams of blood that still lingered on Faye’s neck.  Vivienne’s fangs locked into place and she raked the points over her girlfriend's neck.

“Go ahead, Vivienne…” Faye panted desperately. 

Vivienne slowly danced the couple in small circles as she kept teasing with her teeth, “See what you are doing to me, mon amour?”

Faye purred and followed Vivienne’s lead while they danced in the surf. “Mmm…do..doing t-to you?” she stammered and let out a little rumble from her chest.

Pressing her fangs through Faye’s flesh, Vivienne took a few seconds to enjoy the luscious scent pouring from the four tiny holes. “Tu es si difficile à résister, mon amour…”  Vivienne whispered and took Faye’s blood into her once more, reliving the taste of love on her tongue.

“Yesssss…”  Faye hissed through her teeth and shook all over. -How did I live before this?  Her voice..her breath…have mercy, her fangs..- Faye’s mind rushed through the confusing thoughts before she was spun in Vivienne’s arms and lightly dipped. “W..hat…”  Faye flung her arms around her girlfriend's shoulders and kissed Vivienne lightly.

Vivienne pulled Faye upright and kissed the bite closed. “I said you were difficult to resist, my love.”  She spun Faye away from her then back into her arms, “Dancing with you in the moonlight..”  Vivienne exhaled a small ‘ahhh’ then continued, “...Is a dream come to life.”  

Faye blinked her shimmering green eyes slowly and felt the rush of love warm her undead body, “Vivienne…”  Her voice cracked, “...I-I love you.”

Vivienne heard the words crystal clear and realized that was the first time Faye had come out and said it.  She’d listened to her partner’s confessions of devotion and completion.  She’d heard love in her voice and seen it behind her verdant eyes.  She’d felt the love between them in the tub and in bed, the graceful and light touches, and even now in the way Faye trembled during the dance. -You are no longer alone.- Vivienne’s mind sent a wave of loving relief pulsing through her. “So many lifetimes I have watched and listened to others profess and confess love to one another.”  She folded a few locks of the pink and black hair behind Faye’s ears, “I-I wanted to know how this felt…I have said ‘my love’ to you since the initial three minutes we knew each other…” A hot blood soaked tear careened down Vivienne’s cheek, “Hope was all I had that I would find the one person to complete me.” A second tear flowed, “I am holding the one.  My Faye.”  Vivienne took a deep breath and smeared the bloody tears onto her fingers and offered them to Faye, “You are my first and only love, Faye…”  The moment Faye licked the blood offering, Vivienne spoke with her delicate French accent, “Je t'aime, Je t'aime … I love you, my first and only love.”  Vivienne broke down and kissed Faye over and over, “Mon amour, Je t'aime.”

A few minutes passed before the couple stopped their first dance of confessed love.  Hand in hand the couple walked up to Vivienne’s home and witnessed Casey making a huge pile from the scraps from the partially destroyed kitchen.

“That’s her huh?” Faye inquired and looked between Vivienne and the ward.

“Indeed it is.  If not for her, I might not have saved you.”  Vivienne noted and watched Faye take off into the house at random. “Alright, Faye.”  She chuckled and walked up to the pile Casey had made.

“Hey Viv.” Casey tossed a large stone on the pile. “I think you have a problem in the kitchen.”

“It would appear that is the case.”  Vivienne reached up and fixed the bun her hair was twisted in. “Faye got a little zealous with Drake.”

Faye returned with the remainder of the parts torn from the kitchen. “This is the last of it all.”

“If you are gonna burn this, now is the time to do it.”  Casey pointed in the direction where Faye first hunted. “The cops and fire department are up there trying to put out that fire.  I had to take a detour to get back here.”

Turning on her heels, Vivienne walked inside without a word and left Faye and Casey looking at each other. “Um..”  Casey looked in admiration as Vivienne disappeared from view.

Faye shook her head and smiled to the ward, “I think she just does that.”  Faye curled her eyebrows in concern and walked close to Casey sniffing her.

Casey took a careful step back and looked at Faye strangely, “Wha-da fuck?”

Faye put up her hands and took an equal step back, “Sorry.  That was strange is all.”

“You’re telling me?  A stranger comes up to you and sniffs, what would you do?”  Casey frowned.

Faye started wiggling her finger at Casey, “I-I…” Faye closes her eyes and focuses a moment, “Okay.  I can smell your blood and it's delightful.  It’s like smelling baked apples, almost.  With a sweet rust behind it.”  Faye sighs and shrugs. “The strange part is I don’t feel the need to drink your blood.  I know that I could, but I don’t need to.”

“THAT, is the strange part?”  Casey reiterated her surprise.

Shaking her head fast enough that her short black-pink locks flew around her face, “No, no..I didn’t mean it like that.  Shit.”  Faye rattled off quickly. “Let’s start over.”  She outstretched her hand, “Faye Park, thank you for finding me Casey.”

“No problem.  Vivienne told me to find you, that was my mission when we went in.”  Casey said and lightly shook Faye’s hand. “I saw the look in her eyes when she mentioned your name.”  

“I wish I remembered what happened, but my mind has been in a fog since I woke up on the bed.”  Faye shrugged.  Her green eyes widened in delight and a smile broke out on her face when Vivienne returned. “Casey was just telling me she saw your eyes while thinking about me.”  She winked.

“Yes.  Casey is rather adept with that sort of thing, Faye.”  She winked once before sauntering over and spraying lighter fluid over the pile of kitchen rubble.  “I am pleased that you both have finally met, even if it was a bit clunky in the beginning.”

-She did that on purpose.- Faye thought after seeing Vivienne and her little swagger walk. “You heard me mess that up?  Of course you did.”  Faye rolled her eyes and looked toward the ocean to hide her embarrassment.

“There is no reason to turn away, mon amour.” Vivienne lit the fire and then started rubbing Faye’s shoulders. “I did find your description of her blood intriguing.”

Casey crushed some of the wood from the table into smaller pieces of kindling and used it to light different parts of the pile. “I would really like you both to stop discussing my blood being tasty.  I’m not sure if I should be turned on or scared to death.”

Both vampires turned to face the young ward and almost in unison, “It's delightful though.”  Vivienne and Faye looked at each other oddly for a second then shared a quick kiss.

Casey waved her finger back and forth between the couple. “Okay, that was freaking adorable.”

Vivienne clasped Faye’s and Casey’s hands, and walked to the deck where the three of them sat down watching the fire. “I am intrigued.  Faye, you have said something that I did not expect.”  Vivienne kisses Faye’s hand quickly. “You said you had no need to feed.”

“Yeah, so?”  Faye let out a light sigh after Vivienne kissed her hand, sending little sparks through her body. “Wait.”  Fay snapped her fingers and tapped her temple. “I’m a newborn and should be almost in a frenzy like I was with the others.”

“Exactly, mon amour.”  Vivienne looked over to Casey who had a glazed look in her chocolate eyes. “Casey?”
