{{ Okay, }} Eliza panted mentally. {{ I think the worst is over, }} she thought, a little more pleasantly. The pressure that had once been uncomfortable had slowly become somewhat exciting. So the two women mauled and sucked on each other’s tits as Veronica started pumping her slim toy in and out of Eliza’s butt.
{{ Does it feel good? }} Veronica thought naughtily. {{ Is my naughty vampire goddess enjoying having her ass fucked? }}
Eliza had been sucking on one of Veronica’s nipples when that last thought came through. {{ Feel for yourself, }} she replied, and she projected her pleasure back at Veronica. The human woman began to feel every stroke in Eliza’s ass as if it were happening to Veronica herself.
{{ Oh that’s sweet, }} Veronica thought as she felt her own sphincter opening and closing. She projected the feeling of Eliza’s lips on the human’s breasts back at the vampire, and Eliza began to mentally moan. Eliza finally sat up straight, began rubbing her upper mound as well as her clit, projecting THOSE feelings on to Veronica. The human lover felt her private area being stimulated, and it was fantastic.
The two women were caught in a loop of sexual ecstasy and satisfaction. Whatever one felt, the other felt as well. The pleasure began building in intensity almost exponentially. Veronica slammed the dildo all the way into Eliza’s ass, and they both achieved climax together. And it was an pair of orgasms of epic proportions, with bodies shivering, breasts jiggling and pussies experiencing spasm after spasm in total unison. Eliza felt like she dumped a gallon of sweet, sticky girl-cum onto Veronica’s lap, but her lover didn’t seem to care. Veronica had a sort of glassy stare, indicating she wasn’t quite over their shared orgasm quite yet.
Eliza lay down on top of her companion. The dildo that had recently been filling her ass slipped out with a “plop,” then disappeared back into the nothingness from which it had come. It was just the two of them again.
Then, they both felt something tugging on them, pulling them into the void.
{{ No! }} Eliza gave a mental shout. {{ Not yet! }}
Veronica seemed oddly at peace with the separation, and she blew Eliza a kiss. {{ If this was our last moment, then I could die happy. But I don’t think it is . . . }}
{{ But I was too late! }} returned Eliza.
{{ Says who? }}

Back in the real world . . .
—————— —————-
Eliza sat up with a start. She didn’t recognize her surroundings at all, though it didn’t take long before realizing she was in a hospital. How the hell did she get there? She heard a groan next to her and she looked over. On the next gurney, no more than five feet away, lay Veronica. Eliza’s heart skipped a beat. Her lover looked bruised and battered, but nearly as badly as the vampire remembered. Both of Veronica’s ankles, one of her hands and a couple of fingers on the other hand were all in casts. But the bruising and burns on her face and arms was greatly diminished. Eliza normally might have wondered how long she had been out, but there wasn’t time for that. Joy overtook her as she tried to get off the hospital bed and go to her lover. She had to remove some pesky IV’s and assorted tape, but she was able to move over and stare down at Veronica’s face. The human woman’s eyes, which had been swollen shut the last time Eliza had seen them, opened.
“Huh. . . hey beautiful,” Veronica finally got out. “Did . . . did wuh. . . did we get married?”
Eliza almost started to cry as she kissed Veronica on an unblemished part of her cheek and just about anywhere else that she could. “I’m not sure,” she gasped.
The door behind her opened and several nurses, a doctor, and Eliza’s entire security team (along with Captain Corbin and Kelik) burst into the room.
“And they woke up at the same time!” one doctor said with amazement. “Incredible! Now, back in bed.” It was a silly command that Eliza would have ignored completely were it not for the incredible head-rush she received from her sudden return to the world of the vertical. So she sat down in the visitor’s chair next to Veronica’s bed and lay her head on the human woman’s hand.
“Not so amazing considering what happened to them,” Kelik said with a bemused grin. He looked incredibly tired, and Eliza wondered how long he had been awake.
“Considering what happened?” Eliza asked irritably. Then she noticed the sunlight streaming into the room. It wasn’t bothering her eyes the way sunlight usually did.
Kelik looked a little sheepish. “Since . . . well, it might be easier if you saw for yourself.” He looked around and grabbed a mirror from the bathroom, holding it up to her face.
Eliza was dumfounded by what she saw. First of all, she looked . . . healthy. There was little trace of the fight she had been in. Secondly, her eyes had changed. They had been completely yellow, but now they were yellow with blue streaks running through them. She looked over at Veronica again. Even through the bruising, Eliza saw that her lover’s eyes now looked identical to Eliza’s own.
“What the fuck . . .”
“I did the only thing I could think of,” Kelik said. “Neither one of you were strong enough to survive what was happening to you. So I used the Alchemist’s Dream to combine you.”
Eliza moved to grab Kelik’s shoulders and shake him. But when she moved towards him, everything seemed to speed up for her. It was like she was seeing things through Veronica’s eyes again, like the first time she had bitten the human. Her friends only saw a blur as Eliza moved.
“Holy shit!” she said, her intention of shaking an answer out of Kelik now forgotten.
“She’s FASTER?” Allyson said with wide eyes. “That’s not fair!”
Eliza’s head was swimming. “What the hell happened to me?”
“I’m kind of curious about that myself,” Veronica muttered tiredly. “And what is that smell?” She started looking around. “It’s like . . . coppery. I didn’t even know what that smelled like before, but that’s definitely what I’m smelling now.”
“That’s what blood smells like,” Eliza whispered.
“Why am I smelling blood?” Veronica asked. Then she gave a slight yawn, and Eliza saw the hint of fangs. Which Veronica promptly bit her lip with. “What the . . .” She ran her tongue across her teeth. “Uhm . . . what are these?”
“You . . . you’re a vampire!” Eliza exclaimed, almost fainting.
“No she isn’t,” Kelik assured a panicking Veronica. He then turned to Eliza. “And neither are you.”
Eliza sat down. “What are you . . . that’s not . . . I can’t handle this.”
“When you were combined,” Kelik started by way of an explanation, “you became something new. More than either human or vampire.”
The doctor piped in excitedly. “You have developed the most efficient physiology anyone has ever seen! All of your primary organs and functions have back-up systems! You’ve both been healing at an incredibly accelerated rate, and apparently you’re both faster as well. I suspect you’re probably stronger and . . . What I mean to say . . . and what Ambassador Kelik here is indicating is that you two are now the only two members of an entirely new life form!”
Eliza’s brain was almost overloading. So was Veronica’s, but she was too exhausted to do anything about it. “See,” the “human” woman said by way of a joke, “you said we never do anything together.” Then she passed out again.
Eliza sat on her bed and curled up in as tight of a ball as she could. It was too much to handle. She wasn’t even a vampire anymore. She was a lesbian . . . hybrid.
“I think we may have been a little hasty in our dispensing of information,” Kelik said.
“Maybe, but . . .” Allyson started. Then she noticed how exhausted the Ambassador was. He had slept very little in the last several days, and being awake during the daytime was obviously taxing to him. “Get some sleep. I’ll stay with her.”
Kelik glanced once more at Eliza’s prone form, then wandered off. His excitement had gotten the better of him.
Allyson sat down at Eliza’s side.
“How long?” Eliza asked. “How long have I been like this?”
“Six days,” Allyson responded quietly. “The doctor was right about your healing time.”
“What the hell am I? What the hell are we?” she added, looking again at the slumbering Veronica.
“You are Eliza, my friend and employer. That hasn’t changed. And I’m willing to bet Veronica is the same person in a new-and-improved body. It was strange. You’ve been healing well, but once when they tried to move you to separate rooms, both of your heart monitors went haywire. The doctors have been afraid to separate you two ever since.”
The vampire . . . or the not-quite-a-vampire . . . wasn’t able to take her eyes off the not-quite-a-human lying next to her. “She’s beautiful, isn’t she?”
Allyson smiled, and the rest of the team, all of whom had remained quiet the whole time, filed out of the room. “Yes she is,” Allyson whispered.
“She’s going to be okay?”
“Yes. You’ll BOTH be okay,” the human said, stroking her friend’s face and hair.
Eliza drifted off. The pain medication she was on, combined with psychological exhaustion and whatever biological changes she was undergoing, had her sleeping again, albeit fitfully at first. Then she calmed down a bit. Then she started to moan, and her heart monitor stepped up a beat. So did Veronica’s. The U. S. envoy was smiling with her eyes closed.
“Are they dreaming?” Allyson wondered. Both patients flushed a little, and Veronica started to pant as her hands unconsciously drifted to her crotch. Allyson blushed. ‘They’re dreaming all right,’ she thought. ‘And I’m willing to bet I know what they’re dreaming about.’
