“Are you ready to find out what you were always meant to be?”
“I have been ready since the day Daniel told me what I was. Please don’t make me have to be patient any longer.”


The chill of his breath tickled her ear, “You will be my greatest joy, and my poor heart does so ache thinking about the pleasure you will be able to bring me.” Kieran kissed her forehead and brushed a small wayward strand of hair out of his way before sinking his fangs into the pale softness of her neck. He drank her in until he felt her heart nearly fade away.


He bit into his own flesh, releasing a trickle of blood from his wrist. Before the wound could begin to close up, he let a drop hit her lips. Sophie clutched his arm to her mouth and suckled aggressively to relieve her immediate desire for more.


When she released him nearly drained, through his euphoria Kieran breathed, “Do you feel my blood burning through you? You are of me; my strength will be yours once your body releases itself.” He pulled her into his arms and delivered her gently to the bed, “Now let yourself go to sleep my child, pay no mind to the pain, you have nothing but pleasure to find on the other side of it.”


The Rose and Crown, Middle Bridge. July 3, 1898. 10:51 pm


He stared down at the lifeless girl, and for a moment felt the pangs of pity clench his heart. Then the ripple of memories came one my one, weighing him down, forcing his legs to buckle and give way. And then Daniel was hit with an intensity of emotion that made his skull ache so hard he was certain his bones would crack from the pressure.


Soothing words melted their way through, “Stop your panicking, it will settle in a few moments.” Cool fingers slid through his hair, the effect allowing the tension in his muscles to dissipate.
The pain slowly made way for the clarity of a single focal point of his hatred. He snarled, “Where is Olivia?”
“You think you can rid us of that blight in your current condition? While I admire your enthusiasm, you cannot even stand up at the moment. It will be quite some time before you have the strength to face her.”


Daniel tried to pull himself up several times, before finally relenting, “How long before I can have the pleasure of holding the head of that witch in my hands?”
Kieran was resolute, “I swear on my life that it shall be worth the wait.”

She woke up laughing. Completely overjoyed with what her senses were telling her about the world. Sophie was connected to everything around her and it was ecstasy. Her hand searched out for Max and his fingers entwined hers, “Everything is just so…vibrant, even my thoughts, my memories. Kieran said when I woke up, I wouldn’t remember anything, but I do. I remember everything.”


He squeezed her hand, “I was expecting nothing less from you.”
Her eyes sparkled, “Max, I want you to go find me someone painfully beautiful, I want to celebrate.”

wow, they finally turned her. As always, your picture taking is top notch.

Not ready to talk about the pics. There would have been more, but there were technical issues with the new install...anyway, yep she was made for that moment, sort of. Better yet, they planned for a long time for that moment. the cover pose rocks if I may say so myself, and the dude in the diner you never see was reading a newspaper.

Great chapter, once again. I am quite intrigued by Sophie's story, and how she got so messed up with Kieran and Daniel.

Hehe, I am glad to see someone wanting to know more about her. In most other stories she would be the lead and Katia would be the support. She was messed up with them before she was even born, but this chapter brought you the first time she knew what was planned for her. It has been a waiting game for her since. Now her reaction to Kat in the previous chapter is laced with an, um…urgency there was not present before.

Wow! I was not expecting that! I don't know why but that surprised me. Marvelous update...reinstall notwithstanding...I know how horrible those can be. Fabulous shots...the perspectives, the angles were very effective.

We don’t mention the reinstall anymore. It was quite a pain. I gave Angard the full version, but I will just say it was more than tedious. Thank you, there were hints, but its good to hear it was not completely obvious that Sophie was due to be turned. Angles are my friend, they hide what would be a dodgy shot from any other perspective.

I had my suspicions whether Sophie would be one of them. This was a great twist. I wonder what sort of vampire she will be and what her sister will think of it all. Their meeting shall prove to be utterly interesting and intense. Really intense.

Great work my dear. Beautifully evocative and descriptive!

Sophie has been anxious since she was told, so maybe a less than altruistic start for her vampire life. And poor Katia is being left further and further behind, something will have to be done about that. Intense is a good word for their meeting up.

As much as I love about this game for an animation device, there are some things it can’t say that are let up to me. I am always pleased to know I managed to make some sense out of what is happening in my head.

Great work on both the writing and pictures (you must have the patience of a saint to get the poses just right)!

Sometimes I think it is my bloke that has all the patience as he tolerates the extreme level of swearing that occurs as I try and make thing happen. But it’s weird, the scenes I think will be easy drive me batty and the theoretically tough ones are not so bad. Doing the odd photo shoot really helps to learn what animations result in the poses I want, and as long as I don’t do a reinstall say…the day before (like this time) it generally only take a couple of hours to shoot a chapter.

That last line is absolutely wonderful. Everything just flows so well, the flashbacks and the events that are unfolding in the present day. Amazing, love. Absolutely amazing.

That’s the charm of flashbacks, they can hide most of my sins as I work my way through this story. *huggles* you have been a never ending source of support and encouragement, you are absolutely amazing!

Oooh, I loved the bed posing! I suck at/hate posing on beds. And she's turned... and quite jubilant about it, it seems. I wonder what Katia's reaction will be...

Those are just some couch poses shifted to a bed using one of moune’s invisiblocks and the invisible recolour of the magisplay tray. Simple, but reasonably effective. The Uni relax poses can work well too.

Sophie has been waiting very impatiently for this for a while, and as for Katia, just a few more shots and some editing and we will find out.

"Find me someone painfully beautiful." Love it.

I am apt to use lines like that at any given moment. No really it just gives a good indication that Sophie is quite carried away with the romance of being a vampire. She has a few harsh realities coming her way.

Sophie's reaction reminds me of a lot of things...

But the line is stunning, and bites deep.

I love Kieran's response to Daniel's question.

The first scene, the sequence of shots with no narrative, they are extremely effective.

Sophie has been waiting for a while for this, so she is a bit less than patient. Imagine if she had to wait for anything as long as Daniel has. I'm glad when those image only scenes work, I gust wanted a little glimmer of the moment and text just would have felt a little heavy.
