After a bit an upside down head appeared above me. Startled, my head shot up and slammed into hers. "Ow…ow… wait, it doesn't hurt…"
I rubbed my head and looked over at Enora, who was just staring at me. "Pfft… hahaha!..." She was laughing at me! She scared the shit out of me! She was clenching her sides strongly as she laughed. "Stop! Or I will get angry!"
"...ha…ha… I am sorry, but your reaction was so funny just now. Not to mention that hair…" She made a hand mirror appear, and I didn't even have time to gasp from the display of magic. Reflected in the mirror was myself.
I still had the same face I got from my mother. My eyes were still the same muddy brown. My hair was the same black color it had always been, but I had a serious case of bed head. Strands were sticking out everywhere. I looked at my neck in the mirror. There were no punctures. "Hey! You bit me!"
"Huh? You are only saying that now?" I rubbed the spot where she had definitely bitten me, but there was nothing wrong. If anything the skin had gotten smoother. "No! That isn't what I meant!"
"OH? What did you mean, girlfriend?" My cheeks burned. No one had ever called me their "g-girlfriend"?
"We are partners now, remember? Maybe I drank too much?" She looked genuinely concerned for me as she placed a hand on my cheek. I could feel her claws on my temple. "What's the matter, Melle?"
"What do you mean?" She put the mirror back in front of me. "You are crying."
It's true tears were streaming down my cheeks. "Why?..."
I couldn't hold back the damn anymore. The tears flowed out of my eyes as I wailed. Through it all Enora pulled me into her chest. I cried like a baby. All the while she stroked my hair. "Do you want to talk about it?"
"I saw my parents…" somehow I had switched positions, and she was giving me a lap pillow while I looked up at her. "I saw them before I woke up. They both died in a car accident while I was in high-school. It was a drunk driver. They weren't supposed… they weren't supposed to go anywhere that night… but I… but I…."
There was nothing else I could say. The words wouldn't come out. How could I tell her that it's my own fault? I told them to go that night. I wanted them to have fun. They were always there for me. I saved up money, and I paid for them to go to the movies together. It was just supposed to be a date for them. Enora placed a finger on my lips, as she continued to stroke my hair.
"Shh, you don't have to say anymore. I am sure it wasn't your fault, and I am sure that your parents agree." She smiled brightly at me, exposing her sharp fangs. I started to chuckle a bit. "What?"
"You bit me…" Her face went red, but she also chuckled. "You said that earlier…what did you mean?"
"Why am I not a vampire? Or am I now your slave? I mean… I already… but…" My words were cut off, her lips stole my own. My heart pounded in my chest. Her lips were so soft, and they tasted sweet. Not to mention they were warm. I closed my eyes as I kissed her back. Our lips were intertwined, but we were both clumsy. It was obvious neither of us had ever kissed someone. When she finally broke away from me, I struggled to catch my breath. "Ha…ha… What was that for…?"
I wasn't complaining. If anything I wanted her even more now, but it was just so random. "When I saw you like that. I wanted to help… I didn't know what I should do. Then I thought…What would I want her to do if the positions were reversed?"
"So you kissed me?" She nodded her head. "Are you mad?"
"Come closer real quick." I heard her gulp as she leaned forward. This time I grabbed her head and pulled her into a kiss. She was such a devil. It was all her fault, but damn was she hot. Now this sexy beast was my girlfriend. I already didn't want to let her go. But eventually the kiss had to end, and this time she was the one trying to catch her breath. "Ha… you demon…"
"Says you! You are the vampire! Wait, you still didn't answer me…" She tilted her head cutely once more as she placed a finger on her adorable chin. "...oh right! No you aren't a vampire…"
I placed my hand on my neck and rubbed the smooth spot where she had bitten me. It was right on my carotid artery. It was no wonder I had passed out. My brain probably wasn't getting the blood it needed. She said I wasn't a vampire, but then…
"You aren't a blood slave either. If you ask me… you are a dork!" She flicked my forehead lightly. "Hey! I might have been into those sorts of fantasy stories… a tiny bit…"
"Oh?" She raised one of her thin eyebrows. "Hey! Let's get back on topic!"
"Right, you aren't a vampire, slave, or any of the sort. You only have a slight change. I had to do it to bring you here."
"What's that?" It was my turn to tilt my head. I probably looked funny since my head was still resting in her lap. "Hehe, it's nothing. I just gave you half of my magic power."
"Pardon?" Did I hear her right? She gave me half of what? That thing in fantasy stories? That thing that the hero always has too much of? The one where they…
"Ow!" She flicked my forehead again. "Your excitement is showing on your face. Yes, you have half my mana, mp, energy, whatever you fancy."
"Sorry, I got excited… wait! What does that mean for you?" I shot up and grabbed her shoulders. "You will be okay right!?" She smiled at me.
"I am perfectly fine. In fact! I am better than I ever would have been on Earth! My body feels so light! It's refreshing." I looked down at her chest as she stretched her arms. Her chest was just the right size for me. It had to be a b-cup, after all I rested my head on them earlier. "And where do you think you are looking?"
She grabbed my cheeks with both hands and pulled my head up so our eyes matched. "I was just… just…" Her face actually went red before mine did.
"I-I don't mind if you look…but you can't touch them yet!" My eyes widened. How could she say something like that so boldly? All the while she herself looked like a tomato. "Anyway, I don't even know where we are yet."
"That's right! We are in another world aren't we!?" My yell echoed in the cave. I didn't even notice before, but there were the stalagmites… or whichever one. I stood up quickly, and started to stretch myself. "My body feels super light too! I have so much energy!"
"It must be the effect of all of that mana you have now…" We both looked towards the same spot. The exit to the cave was right up a small incline. The place was tall enough that I could barely carry her on my shoulders if I wanted to. Rays of light were coming in from the exit. "So it's daytime over here?... wait, won't that be a problem for you?"
"If we were still on Earth it would be a problem, but here… not really." The way she said that made me think differently, but she didn't wait for me to respond. She ran straight for the mouth towards the sunlight. Once she reached it…
Nothing happened. She stood there with an arm stretched out and her palm open towards me. "Well, don't you want to see your new world, partner?"
The way she winked at me sent butterflies into my stomach. Her smile that was only further brightened by the sunlight recaptured my heart. "Of course I do!..." I ran up to her and grabbed her hand. "...P-partner."
The light blinded me, and with the arm that wasn't holding my girlfriends, I had to cover my eyes for a second. Once they adjusted the view laid itself out before me, and it was all… "beautiful…"
