Sire

By KnightMare24

Kristin’s eyes closed eyes slowly opened and she stared at her sire, her mind frozen on the thought that her sire somehow, by some miracle, considered her worthy of so much. Kristin’s eyes traveled to kiss swollen lips and slowly Kristin started to smile.

Her sire wanted her. Her sire had given blood and affection so easily and Kristin felt her panic and pain recede as she realized she wasn’t in danger anymore, because her sire wanted her. She had a strong place in the world, a good place. Anywhere near her sire was a good place.

“Sire.” Kristin spoke softly while tilting her head a little and exposing her neck.

“You’re my vampire.” Willow spoke just as softly, making the word vampire into something treasured and loved. “Do you like the smoochies? Is it okay? Because if you aren’t interested I still wouldn’t cast you out. I’d be well, embarrassed and a little disappointed, but it’s up to you really.” Willow looked like she was starting to doubt the gift she’d given.

“Sire, I want you.” Kristin admitted softly, feeling a little strange to be the experienced one when it was her Sire she was with. She knew her place in the world was skewed by vampire standards, that her place as a pet was odd, but the strangeness of it all was worth it for the payoff it gave her. No Pet had ever had a Sire like Kristin had. She was incredibly lucky, and if it wouldn’t probably kill her Kristin would thank god for the luck she had.

Still the word smoochies was a little disgusting, even if the kissing wasn’t. Kristin slowly reached out to caress the red head’s neck gently, then her hand moved over the place the cut had been. “I would gladly serve in any way you’d like.” Kristin grinned a little wickedly at her Sire.

Willow reached out and caressed her neck, played with her hair, and then stared into her eyes. Kristin stood still for all of it. “I may be your Sire, and I expect you to obey me with the not killing thing and the being careful thing, but in this I want you to be honest. And maybe patient, because I’ve never done more than smoochies before and you’re a girl, I’m a girl, this is all new.”

“Sire, I would gladly serve in any way.” Kristin spoke more slowly while holding Willow’s gaze. “Gladly.” She emphasized the word. “Gratefully. Happily. What else do I need to say?” Kristin leaned in to gently kiss the red head, to pull her closer. “Sire, I’ll be so very good. If I’m not good enough, I promise I will learn what you desire and I will be good enough.” Kristin rested her forehead on Willow’s shoulder.

……………..

Willow rested her chin on Kristin’s shoulder and sighed. Her vampire was okay, but Willow was feeling rather nervous now. They were just smooching and Kristin was already using words like desire. That was a little intimidating, and intriguing at the same time.

Her shoulder didn’t even hurt. A soft flick of a tongue against her skin had Willow tensing up, but she didn’t say anything to stop it. A vampire started to kiss and suck gently at her neck and Willow just gasped, but she didn’t do anything to stop it. There were no fangs at first, but then they were lightly scrapping her skin.

Buffy would have a fit if she knew Willow was letting a vampire neck her like this, Willow thought in a short distracted moment, but a groan from Kristin stopped that line of thought. Willow moved just a little and started to gently scrape her own teeth over sensitive skin. Necking with a vampire was really naughty and Willow grinned a little as she thought that. She kissed Kristin’s neck a few times and felt hands.

“Whoa, whoa, hands in new places. Slow down.” Willow stepped back, her eyes wide. Her skin still tingled from where Kristin had touched her. Her bra strap was still in tact, but Willow blushed hard and turned away to try and readjust herself. “That’s a whole different base and we’ve just started playing . No second base for you missy and you aren’t getting there today.”

Her vampire’s eyes were wide and Willow smiled gently to reassure her it was okay. Slowly Kristin started to grin, the grin grew until it was unrepentant and sexy. “Sorry Sire.” Her words were thickly tinged with amusement and seduction. Willow’s eyes widened and she grinned at her vampire’s nerve. This was much better than the cowering vampire she’d had with her before all of this. Kristin even seemed stronger somehow, more confident overall. It was in the way she smiled and the way she stood. And not to mention the way she kissed.

“I don’t want you to hide in the basement tonight. Maybe we could watch one of my old movies?” Willow spoke softly and watched as Kristin seemed to measure her ability to be near Willow.

“I’ll try.” Kristin cuddled closer and rubbed her head gently against the side of Willow’s neck. “But you’re very hard to resist. You’re so tasty.” The voice was slightly deeper and Willow found herself swallowing hard because just by speaking Kristin had Willow wanting more smoochies, long slow smoochies.

……………

Kristin was taking deep breaths in through her mouth, and she could still smell her Sire’s blood. It was hard to sit so close to her, but it wasn’t impossible. She looked at the television but she didn’t really register what she was seeing, her mind was on something else. “I know buying me blood cost money.” Kristin spoke quietly, interrupting the show, and she turned to face Willow. “I did something that seems right to me, but I don’t know how you’ll feel about it.” Kristin watched as Willow’s eyes focused just a bit more. She could see the intelligence in those eyes, she could see Willow already working to figure out what Kristin was about to say.

“When I was declared dead I guess they took my wallet, my id, and all my money. I don’t have a bank card and my savings is just not mine anymore. I’d been working hard to have a little something set aside, I’d gotten creative in ways to save at school.” Kristin sighed. “But I guess no one expected I’d get back up and it’s all gone. I bet all my stuff is gone and my car is probably for sale somewhere. My family wouldn’t need it. The point is as a vampire I’m starting out with nothing, and you have to use money you probably need to keep me fed. If I still had my own money I would give it to you, so you didn’t have to use your grocery money for my blood.”

Kristin paused, and looked at Willow. “Your neighbor wasn’t going to get back up, I, well, I think what I did pretty much prevented that.” She wasn’t sure she could openly talk about what she’d done, if her Sire could hear about it and not be upset. “When she died her house wasn’t locked, and I went in and took her money. It seems right to me, she doesn’t need it and I do. You shouldn’t have to buy my blood, and now I have some money to pay for it myself.”

“I’m supposed to supply your blood.” Willow objected. “I promised you, as a Sire I’d do that. I wouldn’t want to be a lousy Sire, no, you deserve the best and making you pay for your own blood is like telling a kitten to get a job for her milk.” Kristin went quiet and stared at her Sire. The woman wasn’t making much sense. Willow paused and a cute look crossed her face as Willow seemed to realize she wasn’t making sense. Willow took a deep breath and started again. “You may be my girlfriend, I mean you are aren’t you?” Willow paused and Kristin felt a strange reluctance to nodding, but she did. Girlfriend wasn’t nearly accurate enough, Kristin was just her’s, no soft sounding words that applied to dating humans, Kristin was just Willow’s, no other words needed, no other words fit. Willow smiled shyly. “Okay, so you’re my girlfriend and I like that, but I’m still your Sire missy, and don’t you forget that. All the things I said when we were in the basement, when I shared my blood to create the bond, all of that still applies, well except the casting out because, goddess, I don’t think I could go through with it. I don’t know what I could do to make you be a good vampire, but to tell you how sick it made me when I thought you weren’t. I know that’s not much of a threat, that I’d be hurt and disappointed, but I would be.”

Kristin went quiet as she considered this. Hurting Willow was a threat, but clearly her Sire didn’t know how much Kristin would go through just to not hurt the red head, any type of hurt. Kristin stared into Willow’s nervous looking eyes. Kristin had something else to say. “But you aren’t my Sire because you feed me. You feed me because you are my Sire. If you didn’t feed me, you’d still be my Sire.” Kristin didn’t know how to make it clear to Willow what a Sire really was to her. It was protection, that was all normal vampires got from their Sires, but for Kristin she got so much more.

The issue of the money could wait. It wasn’t going anywhere. Kristin wasn’t putting it in a bank where they could take it away from her because she’d been declared dead. It was a shame she hadn’t been as paranoid as this old woman had been, because a drive to the dorm would have given her a few thousand dollars if she’d just left it in a jar.

Well it would have also probably freaked out her roommate. Kristin forced those thoughts away and stared at her Sire. Willow looked like she was working on a puzzle. Kristin decided to help her. “You let me in and gave me safety here. No other vampire can even get in, and you treat me better than any Pet could even dream of. You don’t need to control the blood to keep me here, because I can’t imagine leaving. I would be stupid to leave.”

Kristin sighed as she considered her own words. How could she seduce her human sire without taking her out on dates, giving her those normal things human’s liked; dinners and walks, movies and talks. If Kristin wanted more from her Sire, and she did, she was going to have to be able to give Willow more as well.

Maybe she could use that old woman’s money in another way after all. Still she was going to need her Sire’s help to do this. Her Sire had lots of useful powers, and not all of them were magic.

“It’s not right that you lost all your stuff.” Willow spoke softly and Kristin looked into her Sire’s eyes wondering if telepathy was a power the red head had. Willow’s resolve face promised that Kristin would have the help she needed.

………………

Willow was in the library, but what she was doing was something she didn’t want the others to see. Willow had the Department of Motor Vehicles in the palm of her hand and she was having them issue a new drivers license, using the picture already in the system. It wasn’t like Kristin would be able to wander in and get a picture taken now, nope, her vampire was just as invisible to mirrors as all the others. She wouldn’t be photo friendly either, Willow thought that was a shame, because while she looked at the picture of who her vampire had been she could just see in the expression, in the eyes, that this wasn’t her Kristin. That woman was just a little too innocent. That was a little sad, but then thinking of the smoochies Willow got from the vampire Kristin Willow liked that her vampire was not that innocent.

The address had been changed to Willow’s and Willow opened another screen to look at the bank files. Those had been hard to crack as well, and Willow felt nervous doing this in such a public, but still very underused, place. Willow wasn’t really stealing, it was Kristin’s money after all, but Willow had to create a new identity and a new account for Kristin and transfer the money all over the place before placing back in the new account with fake records showing that the account had been active for a year. Kristin even had a record of payments and Willow had smirked as she listed false past checks to large businesses like amazon.com.

Hopefully Kristin liked the new last name her records had. Willow had given her vampire the last name Cohen. It had Jewish roots and when Willow’s parents finally realized Willow was actually dating a woman they might actually remember that name. Who knows, maybe if Willow claimed Kristin was Jewish it might help calm Willow’s parents down. Not to mention is was a little amusing to name a vampire after a Hebrew word for priest.

Willow closed the windows to the DMV and the bank just in time. Buffy tossed the library doors opened and walked in with a purposeful stride. Willow worked a little faster to pull up something she could claim she’d been doing.

“Hey Wills.” Buffy greeted her and then Willow watched as her friend stared for just a moment and shook her head. “So, any big plans for the Spring Break?”

“Oh, um yes I have plans and they are, big.” Willow stammered as she turned to look at her friend. Her mind stalled and stalling was bad. Willow just knew that she wanted to use that week off to spend time with her new vampy girlfriend.

“So what are your big spring break plans?” Buffy pulled a chair over and sat down. Willow felt her mouth go a little dry and she tried to think of something appropriately big. The memory of the money Kristin had taken filled her mind, along with her old plans for the week. Kristin would want Willow to spend some of that money, but Willow wasn’t taking all of her vampire’s money. Still it wouldn’t take much to do something fun.

“I’m doing more campus visits. Yep, can’t just pick something as important as a college on pictures alone.” Willow’s eyebrows drew together as she remembered she would have to pick soon. Her acceptance letters kept pouring in. She’d been accepted to Harvard and Yale, and still more schools had to reply.

Buffy looked a little disappointed. “Well, yeah that works if any schools actually accept you. I’m thinking college is probably out of range for me. I just applied to keep my mom happy.”

“Oh Buffy, I’m sure you’ll get into college.” Willow spoke more gently. If Buffy could put down on her college applications that she was practically a superhero then they’d be jumping up to accept the slayer. It was sad she couldn’t just do that. Buffy’s grades really would have been much better if she wasn’t out saving the world all the time.

“Yeah well, for Spring break I’ll be helping mom out at the gallery.” Buffy sighed. “She’s got heavy crates and a slayer daughter. Didn’t take her long to do the math.”

“Start the party the man is here.” Xander’s voice was way too loud for a library and Willow turned to glare at him for a moment as he walked into the room. She stopped and just shook her head. It wouldn’t do any good to tell him that libraries were for quiet study, and quiet talk. He never got that.

Buffy sat back a little and Willow saw the slayer put a happier face on. Xander hadn’t even applied to college, so he wasn’t all sympathetic guy for Buffy.

Willow glanced at the computer and started to type in a few words. If they traveled at night Willow could take her vampire to a city that wasn’t sitting on a Hellmouth. She might have to figure out a safe way to get her vampire somewhere without the sun frying her, but Willow was pretty sure once they were away from other vampire’s her own vampy girlfriend would be happier. Hopefully the rush job she’d put on Kristin’s driver’s license meant rush and not the normal government version of rush which may be weeks. No one would rent a hotel room to a seventeen year old, and due to some creative birthday changing Kristin went from 19 to 21. Willow figured if her vampire was going to be one age for the rest of her life 21 was better.

Staying inside had to be driving her vampire mad. Xander was saying something, but Willow bit her bottom lip as she considered that her vampire needed to start to learn to control her grr face if they were going to go out like this.

……………….

“Sire.” Kristin moaned out pathetically as she pulled her head back from the redhead.

“You’re doing good. You just need to keep your grr face hidden.” Willow muttered and then started to kiss Kristin’s neck, making her request damn near impossible. They’d been doing things for two nights to push Kristin’s control, but Kristin felt like this time she really was going to disappoint her sire.

“Can’t we just call Xander over to piss me off?” Kristin muttered desperately as her body ached for more than Willow ever gave her.

“If you can’t do it I really don’t want you losing control in front of Xander.” Willow slowed her movements and Kristin listened to her sire’s pounding heart. “He isn’t the most vampire friendly guy you’ve ever met.”

Kristin took a step back from Willow and took a deep breath as she tried to calm down. It ached to make out like this and not go further. She really needed to find a way to make Willow understand it could be much better, that making out wasn’t the height of sex.

She really wouldn’t mind getting to second base sometime soon either, but if they tried that while Willow was on her training the demon kick Kristin would have a hell of a time.

Kristin’s hand caressed Willow’s side and slowly moved to caress the side of Willow’s clothed breast, in hopes that the experiments could be forgotten for something more fun. Willow’s eyes widened with innocent shock and Kristin swallowed hard and just let go of her control, her grr face showing her hunger. “Sire.” Kristin leaned in for a kiss, hoping that Willow would prick herself of Kristin’s fangs again. To make out without going grr meant that Kristin had to fight her desire and she didn’t want to fight it.

“Hands.” Willow squeaked out nervously and Kristin risked moving her hand, her fingers, over Willow’s breast slowly as she removed her hand. The way Willow inhaled sharply and the scent of desire increasing made it very hard to obey the command, but Kristin stopped trying to escalate things. “Naughty vampire. I told you that’s a hands off area and you missy just ignore that.”

Kristin watched the red blush on her sire’s face, but she also could see repressed interest. Always repressed, it was hard to live with a repressed sire. “They feel too nice not to touch.” Kristin commented while holding her sire’s gaze, refusing to be ashamed of this. “Do you want to touch mine?” Kristin offered, starting to think if maybe she let Willow touch Willow would become more comfortable with being touched.

Willow’s blush increased to the point Kristin could smell the blood under the skin and it awakened another hunger, one Kristin was becoming more used to suppressing. “No, that’s okay.”

“I want you to.” Kristin leaned in and gently ran her fangs over Willow’s neck, not biting or cutting. “Oh Sire, please. It’s getting so hard.” Kristin thought of how her sex was throbbing, but knew her sire wouldn’t get that meaning.

“We’re working on your grr face, not that the naughty touching is just work, but you’ve gone grr face.” Willow arched against her and Kristin growled just a little into her neck.

“Fuck me.” Kristin begged finally, the words out before she could censor them for sensitive human ears. “Oh god, your pulse would feel so good inside of me.”

The heat was pushed to Willow’s skin and Kristin could feel the deep red blush against her cheek. Willow stepped back and Kristin bowed her head, knowing she’d gone too far. “I need some blood.” She muttered and it was only partly an excuse to walk away. Willow was nervous and that scent really affected her, made Kristin want to push it further. It was a predator instinct she was sure, but one she fought.

Willow swallowed hard and nodded her head to let Kristin go. That was one thing that was never pushed, if Kristin said she needed blood Willow always let her go get some.

Kristin was nearly done with her blood when Willow stepped into the kitchen holding an envelope and looking so adorably nervous. “I checked the mail earlier and forgot to give you this.” Apparently Kristin wasn’t going to be punished for her words or actions, Kristin thought as she rinsed her cup out and moved to take the envelope.

She had no idea why she was getting mail, but when she opened it to see a driver’s license she was shocked. The name wasn’t quite hers, and it was Willow’s address on it. “Why?” Kristin looked up to see a small smile on her sire’s face.

“You need id to get your money out of the bank, or to check into a hotel.” Willow’s smile grew. “You didn’t even notice you’re now twenty one.”

“What?” Kristin stared down at the id again and saw the two years added to her age. “You got the government to issue me fake id?”

“If they issue it, it isn’t fake.” Willow grinned wickedly. “I also got you this.” Willow handed out another envelope and Kristin stared at it a moment before picking it up.

The bank was familiar and it had that new last name on it. Kristin looked up at a very pleased looking redhead and then back at the envelope. “Oh Sire.” Kristin whispered, stunned by her sire’s power. Willow’s grin grew.

“You shouldn’t lose everything. Being bitten was hardly your fault.” Willow spoke quietly.

Kristin’s arms shook a little and she just stared at the redhead who did this for her. Her sire was amazing, and cared so much. “I love you.” Kristin whispered for the first time. It felt strange to say that, something a vampire shouldn’t say, but she did.

“You’re my vampire. I take care of my vampire.” Willow smiled gently and then moved closer to kiss Kristin gently. “My vampy girlfriend has a driver’s license and some money now.” Willow pulled out of the hug gently and stared at her. “I was thinking we could take a vacation, go away from the hellmouth to someplace where my vampire could walk outside safely.”

Kristin felt a moment of panic at the idea, but the lure of outside was very tempting. If they weren’t in Sunnydale maybe she’d be the only vampire around, that would make her the strongest one out there. The safest one. “How could we get there?” Kristin asked after a moment, because she realized that getting away would be harder than the trip.

“Well that depends on where we’re going to go.” Willow nibbled on her lip and Kristin felt the urge to help the redhead with the nibbling, but Willow’s expression changed to problem solving redhead and Kristin just slowly bent the envelope in her hand to feel the card inside of it. Any ATM would have money for her now, and she had to use that money to make her sire happy. It was the least she could do. Kristin was going to be nervous, but if her sire, a human, could go outside, Kristin should be able to.

Kristin also had the old woman’s money. She could really show her sire a good time and still have blood money left. Not that she had figured out how to make Willow use her money just yet, but there would be money.

“When I was younger my parents took me to Vegas.” Kristin spoke as she thought about this. “It was hot outside and I found out that I could get around to a lot of places during the day without going outside. And it was nice out at night, with all the lights. Very pretty.”

“What did you do in Vegas?” Willow asked with a slightly puzzled look. “Isn’t it all gambling and drinking adult fun?”

“We were on the way to visit relatives and just stayed two days.” Kristin remembered being a little bored, but not a lot. She’d been a bit too young to appreciate much, but now she was apparently twenty one. Kristin held up her driver’s license and stared at it again. “Did you get one of these sire?”

“Oh that would be bad and illegal and well, bad.” Willow’s eyes widened as she spoke. “I’m only seventeen and while I’ll be eighteen very soon I’m sure not twenty one.”

Kristin’s eyebrows drew together as she considered the way Willow said no. “And I’m only nineteen.”

“But well, you’re a vampire.” Willow pointed out as if that excused the fake id. “If you can only go out at night I didn’t want you to not be able to get into anywhere you might want to go.” Willow finished and it seemed like such a sweet reason to break the law.

“And what if I wanted you to go with me?” Kristin asked quietly, but as she studied Willow she couldn’t see the woman passing for twenty one. The long red hair screamed teenager and her guilty expression at the mere thought of a fake id did the rest. Her sire was young and it would take a lot to make her pass. Kristin had been passing for a while, a lot of people assumed she was a senior in school when she was a sophomore. She’d bet her new vampire blood made it even easier because she didn’t give a damn about laws to keep young people out of places anymore. After being turned those laws seemed ridiculous, so she didn’t feel the least bit guilty about breaking them.

“I want to go to Vegas with you.” Kristin spoke quietly. “And if you don’t want to have a fake id, we’ll still have fun.” Kristin paused. “Is Vegas safe? How could we get there? Do you want to go Sire?”

Willow smiled. “You need to lay off my blood, you’re starting to babble like me.” Willow’s eyes were crinkled a little as she teased. “You can drive, so I think if I can get us a car you could drive us to LAX and from there we could take a plane.”

“You’ve already considered this.” Kristin smiled as she realized her idea wasn’t purely hers.

“Well, I’m not so sure where else I could take a vampire for a vacation. Everything else closes as some point.” Willow snuggled in close. Kristin leaned in and rubbed her face gently against Willow’s neck, considering all the opportunities this would give her to seduce her sire. Oh, Kristin was going to do her damnedest to break down Willow’s human inhibitions. It was the one human quality she didn’t really care for in the redhead.

Kristin let her face go grr and caressed Willow’s neck with her fangs again, taking in the small gasp from Willow and the way it felt so amazing to do it. This was trust, pure trust, and Kristin pushed it a little by opening her mouth and gently nibbling on Willow’s shoulder without biting.

Her Sire didn’t tell her to stop. Kristin shifted her face back to human and then bit Willow just enough to make it register but not enough to draw blood.

“Naughty Vampire!” Willow scolded, but she didn’t sound mad at all.

…………………….

Kristin felt nervous and happy and very impatient as she puttered around the house on Friday. She’d slept as much as she could, but she’d still woken up at noon. Her sire was still at school and Kristin knew they couldn’t leave until nightfall, but she was really looking forward to leaving. The only way it would be better is if they didn’t have to come back. It would be nice to not live on a hellmouth full of demons and vampires.

It was a new fantasy of Kristin’s that she enjoyed, one where she lived in a place where she was the only vampire. She was able to walk around at night without fear of anyone attacking her, because she was the scariest thing out there. She liked that fantasy.

Kristin looked through her sire’s closet, looking for any outfit that might make Willow look just a little older. It was a hard job, because Willow needed a new wardrobe, one worthy of her power and potential sexiness. Kristin could see Willow was hot, but these clothes made it impossible for people without a good imagination to see that. Kristin picked another shirt that looked promising and put it on the bed as she continued searching. Perhaps she’d be better off packing just enough for a day and then taking her sire shopping. Oh, she could buy Willow sexy clothes, Kristin thought with a wicked smile. Her smile faded as she thought about the way Willow didn’t even realize she was sexy. It might be all Kristin could do to just get Willow to buy clothes that weren’t childish. Well that would be some progress at least.

It wasn’t like Willow didn’t know sexy clothes when she saw them, she’d bought Kristin some rather sexy outfits after all. Willow just didn’t think of herself as sexy. Kristin’s grr face appeared and she growled as she considered the parents and that cheerleader responsible for Willow’s low self esteem. That boy Xander didn’t help either. She wished she could bite one of them for the redhead, but Willow wouldn’t appreciate it.

Kristin pulled a pair of jeans off a hanger and tossed them on the bed as well. “She’s a fucking goddess hidden in fuzzy sweaters. I mean that red hair and pale skin alone.” Kristin shook her head and gave up on the closet with a sigh. “And she feels so tight and firm.” Kristin thought of her sire and found herself slowly caressing the underwear she was trying to pick from instead of actually picking it. Kristin studied the underwear and once again thought little of this deserved to go to Vegas with them, but Kristin picked up a black pair and pulled them to her face. Even with enhanced senses, Kristin was disappointed to only smell detergent on them.

Kristin tossed the least objectionable underwear onto the bed and completely gave up on finding a decent bathing suit. She didn’t even try, she just knew it wouldn’t be there. Kristin found nothing wrong with the socks as she tossed a few onto the pile on the bed. She then stared at the pile, knowing it was too small for the week they planned to be away. Hopefully Willow didn’t figure that out until they were already gone. It would take creative packing to hide the fact that Kristin didn’t pack much for Willow.

Kristin found a bag and put the clothes in it, before going to the bathroom and grabbing Willow’s brush and other things. They were leaving tonight. Kristin smiled at that thought and finished packing the bag. Hopefully Willow didn’t double check her work until they’d left.

Kristin’s own bag was already packed.

……………….

Willow sat in the library feeling anxious to leave, but they still had another two classes for the day. Willow printed out the boarding passes for the flight and put them in her binder quickly, before Buffy came back.

“So Vegas?” Xander grinned at her and spoke quietly. “Sin city. Planning to sin Wills?”

“That’s none of your business mister.” Willow blushed, but she gave him a firm glare to try and cover that up. He was unfazed.

“Maybe I could go with you two.” Xander grinned. “If you aren’t planning anything special it shouldn’t matter right? We could do a day trip to the Hoover dam.”

Willow took a deep breathe. “Xander, you know you’re my very best friend, but there is no way I’m taking you on my very first girlfriend type vacation. I’ve never gone anywhere without my parents and then it was usually a conference and I was just bored.” Willow gave him a small smile, because he was the only person she could talk to about any of this, even if she couldn’t admit her girlfriend was vampy. “And I don’t know about the sinning, it might be too soon to sin too badly.” Willow smirked just a little too wickedly. “but there will be lots of smoochies.”

“You go Wills. Bring me pictures of the girl on girl action.” Xander teased and Willow’s smirk just grew a little more as she considered how poorly pictures like that would come out.

“I don’t think Kristin likes cameras.” Willow spoke as mysteriously as she could. “And you mister will not be getting any pictures of my girlfriend.” He completely didn’t get it.

“When are you going to tell Buffy that you are not getting back with Oz because you’ve found yourself a woman?” Xander teased and Willow just sighed. That wasn’t a conversation she wanted to have.

“Not anytime soon.” She told him with a firm resolve face.

“But if Buffy knew then Kristin could go out and have pizza with us or go to the Bronze.” Xander pointed out great reasons, but Willow wasn’t really able to do those things with her vampy girlfriend. Not without risking having to bring her home in a dustpan.

“I’m not ready Xander.” Willow sighed, wishing she only had the gay thing to worry about. Buffy might be a little weirded out about that, but she’d eventually be okay. No, it was the vampire part that was going to make a real mess and Willow didn’t want to get into that one.

“Not ready for what?” Buffy asked and Willow let out a small eep of shock. She hadn’t heard Buffy come in. “What aren’t you ready for Wills?”

“Um,” Willow’s eyes widened as she stared at Xander. His lost look didn’t help at all. “For my trip. I haven’t packed yet so I can’t be ready. Nope, packing comes before being ready.”

“So true.” Buffy smiled at her and Willow felt like a bad evil lying friend, but she didn’t really have a choice.

………………

Kristin hooked the printer up to the laptop and then grinned wickedly as she looked over the Vegas shows they’d have to pick from. Her first search contained the word ‘adult’. The list was impressive.

“Oh look, showgirls.” Kristin laughed a little while looking for a show that would be after sunset, or at their hotel. “Crazy Horse, Crazy Girls, Fantasy, the list goes on.” Kristin turned to look at the stuffed Rabbit. “So do you think my sire will figure out what Crazy Horse is before the show starts Mr. Tibbles?” That show had good reviews. Kristin pulled out her bank card and purchased two tickets. “I don’t think she will.”

This trick would probably only work once, and Crazy Horse had a lot going for it besides women. The review was saying it was artistic. Perhaps Willow would forgive her this one, and maybe it will get Willow thinking.

“Oh my God.” Kristin noticed another show on the page and it made laugh. “What are people insane?” Bite was another adult review and it was supposed to be about female vampires. “Oh, she’d let me see this, I know she would.” Kristin’s hand hovered over the mouse as she considered buying some tickets to see what normal humans thought female vampires were like, but she paused as she looked at the pictures and her other hand moved up to caress her forehead. Her smile faded. “Maybe not.” Kristin swallowed hard once as she looked at how sexy those fake vampires were.

Kristin gave up on buying more tickets, because her Sire most likely had some ideas of her own. Besides after the Crazy Horse, Willow would be checking more carefully to what they were going to.

……………..

Buffy was getting ready for training and Willow watched the blonde move with deadly grace as she tested the balance of a sword. Willow sighed and started to put her books back in her bag, so she could go. She still had to drop by the butcher to pick up enough blood for the trip.

“Hey Red.” A voice spoke quietly and way too close. Willow dropped her book and turned to stare at an amused slutty vampire slayer. “Haven’t seen you around here as much. What have you been up to?” Faith asked, but Willow didn’t like the way Faith was staring at her.

“Oh you know, staying inside at night until Buffy gets all those VampWillow vampire’s.” Willow muttered.

“Oh yes, you’ve been,” Faith paused just a little too long, “avoiding vampires.”

Willow’s eyes widened for just a moment as she wondered if Faith had been following her, but even following her it would be hard to know Willow had a vampire at home. “I need to get home.” Willow glared at Faith and moved to put her books in her bag a bit faster. “Bye Buffy.” Willow called out and then started for the door.

She didn’t even hear anyone follow her, so she was startled when Faith suddenly appeared next to her while Willow stopped at her locker.

“Red, I know Buffy’s a little preoccupied a lot of the time, but there is something up with you. I can sense it.” Willow jerked back as Faith leaned in closer.

“Yes, well, you’re wrong. Dead wrong.” Willow glared as she tossed a few books into her locker. “So wrong you can’t even see right from there.”

Willow didn’t look back as she walked away, but she could feel Faith’s eyes on her back. Faith’s creepy, accusing, knowing eyes, and it was hard to walk without looking back because Willow knew Faith knew something and it was all she could think about. What did Faith know?

…………………

Kristin looked up from the computer as soon as she heard someone step onto the porch. Kristin smiled as she heard the keys and she started to shut down the computer while Willow came inside. “The people said the rental car would be brought by. They called a half hour ago. I was hoping you’d make it, since they seem to know better than to come inside if I can’t go outside.” Kristin started to close the laptop and looked up, still smiling.

Her smile faded a little with the appearance of her sire. “What’s wrong?” Kristin spoke gently and moved closer to the redhead. Willow wasn’t smiling, she looked nervous actually. Kristin could smell the nervousness on her.

“Nothing.” Willow’s smile was fake and Kristin stood still and waited. That tended to work. “Okay, so Faith said some thing that had me thinking, and I don’t really like her anyhow. She’s a skanky ho.” Willow sounded bitter and Kristin moved a little closer.

“Do you want me to bite her?” Kristin offered gently, knowing it wouldn’t be taken seriously anymore. But she wouldn’t mind biting people that upset Willow.

“No, missy, she’s a slayer and if you ever saw her I’d rather you ran.” Willow reached out to her. Kristin moved forward into the hug. “You’re my vampire and if that skanky ho hurt you, well I’d have to hurt her back.” Willow whispered into Kristin’s neck and Kristin felt a wave of arousal at her sire’s words. Her sire valued her and nothing was better than that.

“I need to get the box of blood off the porch.” Willow spoke as she pulled back slowly. “Can you get the cooler?”

“Do you really think this will work?” Kristin asked as she watched from a safe distance as Willow opened the front door wider. “I mean, a cooler of blood is something that should set off alarms in their heads.”

“They won’t even check it.” Willow spoke firmly and then Kristin heard the box being shifted and picked up. Kristin carefully walked around the patch of sunlight and made her way to the stairs so she could go down and get the cooler.

It took all the ice in the freezer and it still wasn’t enough. “We’ll buy a bag of ice on our way out of town.” Willow said as Kristin did her best to carefully place her blood containers into the ice.

“What if I need more than this?” Kristin asked and looked up. It wasn’t nice being so dependent on something she had trouble getting.

“Then I’ll find a way to get you more.” Willow told her gently and Kristin looked up from her spot kneeling next to the cooler at her sire. It might be damn near impossible in Vegas, but if it were possible at all Kristin believed her sire would provide for her.

Someone drove up into their driveway and Kristin looked at Willow as she heard it. “The car is here.” She told her.

Willow went outside and Kristin watched from a window and carefully away from sunlight as the man driving the car didn’t check anything carefully, like the redhead’s id. He just gave up the keys and rushed to the car that had followed him. “Gee, you think they’ve run into trouble?” Kristin muttered as she watched the tension in him as he avoided going inside the house to have Kristin sign for the keys. “Someone knows what monster lurks in the house.” She muttered, thinking it was a little cool that all that fear was for her and she wasn’t even out there.

They ate dinner and tensely waited for sunset. Willow carried the bags out herself and put them in the trunk, because it was still daylight. The plan went smoothly, because as soon as the sun went down Kristin slipped outside and locked the door, before sliding into the running car next to her sire. Willow already had a cd playing.

Kristin locked the doors and took a deep breath as she prepared to drive through Sunnydale and away. It felt strange and dangerous. Kristin did her best to stay calm as she noticed a vampire in the shadows as she drove with Willow out of her neighborhood.

As they drove past the Welcome to Sunnydale sign Kristin let out a breath she’d been holding for a while. “They should put a warning on that sign.” She muttered. “Beware all who enter here.”

“You’d think the death rates and the talk about wild dog attacks would keep people from moving here.” Willow spoke softly.

“I never heard about that when I enrolled.” Kristin started off feeling a bit freer. “UC Sunnydale gave me the best financial aid package, by far. It wasn’t my first choice, but I couldn’t ignore the savings.”

“Did you like it?” Willow asked and she sounded interested so Kristin finally spoke about her past a bit more.

“Yeah, the campus was beautiful. The dorms weren’t too crowded. And the flexibility in the classes were great.” Kristin sighed. “But then I thought the drop out rate was high, now I suspect it was the death rate.” She turned onto the freeway and merged with minimal traffic. “But I loved my classes and the Professors were mostly pretty great.”

“What was your major?” Willow asked and it felt strange to talk about that life. Kristin glanced over at her sire to see the redhead was watching her.

“Anthropology, but I was considering changing it to Women’s Studies.” Kristin glanced at the speedometer to make sure she wasn’t racing away from Sunnydale. “What would you want to major in?”

“Well, there probably isn’t a major in Witchcraft and Computer Hacking.” Willow sighed. “So I was thinking of double majoring in Computer Programming and Ancient Languages, but I’m still not sure.”

Kristin went quiet as she considered college. It was something that people did for a future and she didn’t need those types of future anymore, but her sire was going to. Where did college leave Kristin? Willow couldn’t bring Kristin with her to the dorms. Kristin sighed and focused on other things. She’d have to trust that Willow would figure this out, because this really was Willow’s call, her responsibility as sire.

………………….

Willow sat up a little straighter as they took the turn off for the airport. “You’ve got your id right?” She asked Kristin and then grimaced a little as she remembered she’d asked that a few times already. “I’m sorry, I’m all nervous and excited. This is my first real vacation where my parents don’t schedule it all. We are free to do whatever we like.” Willow turned to see the soft smile on her vampire’s lips. Those lips looked really kissable, but not during driving, because that was bad and dangerous.

“Absolutely anything.” Kristin spoke with a sexy deeper voice and Willow blushed at the tone.

As they stood and checked in the cooler Kristin’s eyes stayed on the cooler like a starving woman. “If they lose that someone is going to pay.” Kristin muttered and Willow glanced at her vampire with some apprehension. That was a possibility Willow hadn’t considered.

The flight was fast and not too bumpy. Willow loved the view of the strip as they were landing and she shared a thrilled smile with Kristin.

The cooler was quickly pulled off the belt and put on the cart by her vampire and Willow let herself relax as the issue of blood was covered. “So we’re here.”

The lights of Vegas were impressive and Willow stared out the taxi at them. “Lots of good nightlife here.” Willow spoke as they pulled up to their hotel. She watched Kristin pay the man and got out to get their bags, eager to see the hotel room.

One hotel room, a suite really, because in order to have a refrigerator and microwave, both very important for a vampire, they had to upgrade. Willow was sure her vampire would willingly sleep on the floor again, she normally did that, but Willow felt like being naughty and sharing her bed. Just a little naughty, and the snuggles would be nice.

………………..

Kristin felt a little nervous as she looked around at the reflective surfaces of the elevator and only saw Willow, she didn’t even see the bags in her own hands. “People won’t notice this will they?” She asked the redhead while looking around.

Willow gave her a puzzled look.

“I don’t reflect.” Kristin spoke quietly, as if someone might overhear. This was Vegas, who said someone wasn’t watching the elevators.

“Most people don’t check.” Willow reassured her and then looked up at the floor readout. “I really thought she was going to send us away.” Willow sounded a little quieter and Kristin sighed. The front desk had been a little too interested in their ages. Kristin got the impression that if they’d been opposite sexes they wouldn’t have gotten a room. As was they’d gotten the room but that desk clerk clearly didn’t like it.

“Well, they think I’m twenty one.” Kristin took a brief deep breath, “and you’re seventeen. That’s illegal.” Kristin grinned. “Luckily I’m a vampire and I don’t give a shit about legal.” She loved it when her sire blushed at that.

Willow carried her one bag and set it down to unlock the door. Kristin didn’t bother letting go of the cooler and her own bag was slung over her back. “966, you know just a little broken screw and we’d be in 666?” Willow muttered and Kristin watched the redhead open the door, moving into the room to hold the door opened for her.

“Gee, imagine a witch and a vampire in a room like that?” Kristin teased, feeling thrilled to not only be out of the house but be somewhere with Willow that promised to be fun. Kristin glanced around and found the fridge in the hall. She looked further into the room and was pleased at the large bed and spacious room, but she needed to unload her blood first. “Maybe after I have some blood I could take you out for a late dinner?” She spoke as she set her cooler down.

“Sure, just let me unpack.” Willow smiled and Kristin looked away as she focused on her cooler. Hopefully Willow wouldn’t be too mad at her.

“I saw there are dozens of malls on the strip.” Kristin started to speak, her voice a little nervous as she opened the cooler and started to unload her weeks worth of blood. “I wanted to go clothes shopping.”

“Well, sure.” Willow’s voice was near the bed and Kristin heard the sound of the bag being put on the bed. “If my vampy girlfriend wants clothes I’m not going to stop her.”

“If I buy clothes I’d need your help. I can’t see myself.” Kristin moved her hands faster, carefully stacking blood container after blood container into the fridge. “I really liked what you bought me.” She spoke more gently, but she could hear clothing being shuffled around.

“Kristin.” One word and Willow spoke it flatly.

“Sire, I wanted to buy you clothes.” Kristin looked up at the redhead holding up the only outfit Kristin had packed for her. She looked a little upset. “I didn’t think you’d let me if you had anything to wear.”

“I don’t want you spending your money that way. It’s yours.” Willow dropped the clothes on the bed, but she didn’t look upset. Kristin was grateful for that.

“Sire, you don’t have a lot of clothes that,” Kristin sighed. This was insulting, but her friends weren’t telling Willow, “look good on you. You are a beautiful woman, but even the colors you pick to wear are all wrong. They make you look plain and you aren’t.” Kristin stared into Willow’s pretty eyes. “Please Sire, I’ve been so good. Let me do this for you.” Kristin stepped around the cooler and closer to the redhead. “Please.” She whispered as seductively as she could. “Just a few things, a few tops and pants that I think look good on you. I don’t want to really change you sire, but you aren’t happy with your clothes.”

“You are a sneaky kitty.” Willow sighed heavily and Kristin waited, the smile was resigned and Kristin smiled back. “Nothing too slutty. I know you vampires are all into the leather and the cleavage, but I’m not a vampire.”

“No, but you are a hottie.” Kristin leaned in to kiss Willow softly. “A hottie who isn’t buying anything pastel. You need dramatic colors, deep colors and tighter clothes to go with your tight body.”

Willow blushed and Kristin swallowed hard and pulled back. It had been a little too long since she had blood, too long for Willow blushes.

………………..

Willow watched her vampire microwave some blood and sighed. She didn’t really know what shopping with Kristin was going to be like, if she’d be all lets try slutty wear or if she’d be a little more classy. Well, she was the sire, she could just say no if something was too much, too wild.

It would make her vampire happy. Vampire’s hated Willow’s clothes, Willow kinda understood that because her clothes were all cute kittens and fluffy sweaters. Her double had looked ridiculous in them, even though VampWillow was Willow too. Did Willow look ridiculous? Was her Vampire ashamed of Willow? Willow looked down and wrapped her arms around her body as she considered that.

“I love you.” Kristin whispered while staring at Willow with vampire eyes, before taking another long drink from the mug of blood. “I promise, nothing too wild. I’d have to bite the people that hit on you and you said I can’t bite.” Kristin spoke as soon as she finished her deep drink.

Willow turned to unpack what little her vampire had packed for her, but Willow was thinking about how embarrassed she’d felt when the desk clerk was all, ‘your awfully young, and do your parents know where you are with her.’ He’d done that in front of Kristin. Willow thought that was a little unfair. She had to hide that it bothered her, because she didn’t want Kristin to get all grr on him.

No one treated Kristin like that, and that was before they looked at her id. No one asked her vampire if her parents knew where she was. They were all like, sure Ms. Cohen, Dark curtains Ms. Cohen, no problem, and Willow got the strange looks.

Willow glanced at Kristin, taking in her appearance. Kristin was unpacking her own bag one handed while drinking with the other. “You’ll choke if you just slurp it down.” Willow scolded and it just got her a small smile in return, before Kristin continued to unpack and drink at the same time. They both knew Kristin didn’t choke. She’d need to breath for that.

Kristin’s pale skin was offset nicely by her dark blue shirt. Willow finally noticed that Kristin had unbuttoned another button, naughty vampire, Willow thought as she almost caught a glimpse of Kristin’s bra. Kristin’s hair was brunette and fell in soft waves around her face, and just barely touched her shoulders. Kristin looked like she really could be twenty one, no one questioned it. Willow grimaced and wondered if she passed for fifteen. What did Kristin see in her?

“Sire?” Kristin put her now empty cup down and moved forward, looking concerned.

“Blood breath.” Willow muttered before her vampire could kiss her.

“Sorry.” Kristin grimaced and moved for the bathroom. Willow put her bag in the closet and heard the water start in the sink as Kristin started to brush. “There, now I can kiss you right?” Kristin said with some toothpaste still on her lips.

Willow grinned at the cuteness of it, before she wiped the toothpaste away and then gently kissed her vampire. “Minty Vampire.”

Kristin’s arms wrapped around her and Willow found herself held firmly in a hug, her vampire swaying just a little to the left and then right, holding her. “Thank you sire.” Kristin whispered into her ear. “This place is beautiful.”

Willow leaned into the hug and just tilted her neck a little. Kristin kissed her neck gently, before pulling back. Kristin’s smile was infectious, as was her energy, because it was late, later than late and Willow was starting to feel it, but that smile on Kristin’s face gave her a second wind.

“Ready to go outside?” Willow asked and watched Kristin’s face, seeing how happy Kristin was to go. It was sad her vampire didn’t feel safe, wasn’t really safe, at home. Her vampire wasn’t a house kitty, no she was a wild thing and she was stuck inside.

As they got ready to leave to find some food Willow stared at her reflection and touched her long hair, studying it. It really did look like little girl hair. Her clothes didn’t help, but she could see why people were watching her as she walked through the casino. She looked way too young to be here with all the adults having adult fun.
