Living The Dream, Malissa's Academy 39 free porn video

LTD, Malissa's Academy, 39 Yes, I was sad about the effects of the 'Dragon Fever', but inwardly I was happy that I had gotten the chance to have Corra, Nova and Tammi. I knew my family was walking on pins and needles around me, afraid that I might get upset and have a meltdown at any minute. But like I had told everyone already, I have my children, and each is just as precious as the next. I didn't need to have more, not with my first Grandchildren being born already. Heck I wasn't even twenty-one, yet. Finally, Momma left with Missy, heading home and I began to relax a bit more. I was spending more and more time with the littlest ones, doing things that I knew they liked to do. Becca and Norrish were never far from each other and of course, they too were checking on me more often. And then there was Tiffany Lynn, taking charge of the younger ones like a Drill Sergeant. She had them organized, and all I had to do was look like I needed something, and she had one of them fetching it for me as she continued to ask my advice on girl things. Like if I thought her clothes were coordinated or was her makeup too heavy or light? At first I thought she was just trying to keep me distracted, Gretchen, Maleeza and Daniel had left for Kelvin Nine along with the handpicked permanent crew for IMA Star Baby Two. Of course, they'd caught a ride with Randy and Erika in Star Baby One. I know that Donnie was almost as nervous as I was that he wasn't with them. But LTC Gretchen Howell was the Transportation Officer for IMA, and the acquisition of new transportation equipment was in her job title. Finally, one afternoon I'd had enough of being pampered and treated like I might break down into a squalling fit any minute. I marched through the kitchen at 2PM, grabbing Bitch's keys off the hook as I stepped into the garage. "Momma?" asked Denice. "I'm going for a drive," I said. "Do you want me to go along?" she asked. Sophie and Donnie hurrying to find out what was happening. "I'm tired of everyone treating me like I might fall apart. I'm going for a drive." "Malissa?" from Sophie. "Love?" from Donnie. "It's a free planet. If you can keep up you can tag along," I shot back. Bitch's driver door opening as I approached. "Tizzy, can you come watch the little ones?" Sophie asked over her phone as she reached Cinderella. I just wanted to get away from everyone, I needed time to myself so I could get my head around everything. But Bitch wouldn't let me override the speed limit restrictions. I couldn't even get mad at her for it. It was one of the few things I had pushed for with a passion. Why? I demanded from myself as Bitch finally reached the freeway. Punching it as I turned left on the Freeway, I realized I had just cut in front of General. I floored it, letting off only long enough to shift, as I resumed my own questions. Oh, I knew why I had pushed that safety measure through. My sister Becki, who had been killed by a speeding bus. I was too afraid of losing Corra or one of my other children. Afraid that it might happen to someone else's child. "Malissa, are we racing?" asked Bitch. "No, I'm, I'm just driving," I answered her as I snuffed back my tears. "You know that Goat, Cin, Julie and General are following us?" Bitch informed me. "Are we running away from them? Is that why you are crying?" "N, no, it's," "Malissa, stop. Please just stop and talk to me," pleaded Pam. "Malissa, please, just talk to us, we want to know what is wrong," pleaded Donnie. "Just leave me alone, I need to be alone, please?" I pleaded as I pressed down on the accelerator, pushing her up over three hundred. Mach One, that's what the Air Services called it when you reached an air speed of miles per hour. Bitch racing out ahead of them as they began to drop back. I knew that Bitch would let them know where I was, so did they. But thankfully they were complying with my wishes. An hour later I shot the Delphi Portal at just under 400MPH. I really didn't have any destination in mind, I was running away, temporarily. I had to be by myself to get my head clear. My biggest problem was that no matter how much I denied it, losing the ability to have children really was affecting me mentally. I needed to let my mind wander free, turn everything over in my head. I didn't blame Crista, I could understand her desperation to become fully female, I'd been there myself. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Darlin, aka, PCD0069 sat at the edge of the roadway, her tears slowly rolling down her cheeks. She was alone for the first time in her fifty- three years of life. But still physically, she was seventeen, the age of appearance when she was created. Harry Seals, a successful prospector had purchased her straight off the assembly line. She knew about prospecting, she could run any piece of equipment in the back of the old prospector's rig. She knew where each of his claims was located. The two had been here alone together for almost twenty years now, save for the occasional run to meet the supply trucks that dropped off what he ordered for delivery, or when he went to deposit their profits. Of course, he never let anyone else come to the Home Claim. She remembered his excitement ten years after she was activated, when he realized that through taking care of him as well as learning the different prospecting skills he was teaching her, she had become sentient. Then three years later, when he'd ordered new upgrades for her systems, he'd been so disappointed when they weren't plug and play compatible with her older system. But she had used an old program analyzer, and uploaded the data herself after adding the new memory cores into the extra space inside her own head. Then to show him just how happy she was, she used the very first sexual line ever programmed into her, "Me so horny, you want to play with me?" That had been the beginning of her plunge into learning to express 'real' emotions. She remembered how he had sat with her and explained the different things she was now 'Feeling' were 'Emotions'. She could also feel heat, cold, pain and pleasure. The last had been a real surprise to them both, she'd never really experienced an orgasm before, though she was programmed to simulate one. It had been a week now since Harry had died in his sleep. She had buried him, said the words over his grave as she wept for her loss. Then realized that with his death, she had lost the ability to drive the rig and other equipment. Part of the security system required that he key in his code to allow her access to the systems each week, which he could do by just thinking about it after he had gotten his own neural uplinks. So here she sat on the supplies that had been dropped off at the end of the access road to the claim they had worked together for the last twenty years. She knew this new feeling she was experiencing was sorrow, deep sadness for her loss, something he had called grief. She'd missed the delivery truck because she was in the process of burying him when it had arrived and she hadn't heard the chime inside the house. Carefully now, she began to slowly open the crates and containers that held new equipment, clothing, program updates, and the synthetic goo that she ate to maintain her outer synthetic skin, hair and fingernails. There was a stainless-steel case here, one she'd never seen before. On the top was written, 'CD, Child, Toddler, GNS', Orion PD Electronics Manufacturing. Carefully she removed the little card with the information. Had they sent this to the wrong place? With the shipping information was another card sealed in an envelope, the writing on the outside was addressed to her, from Harry. 'Darlin, I've sat and watched you as I have grown older. Wondering what I could possibly give to you, since you have given everything to me. So, on my last trip to the Intergalactic Bank on Omega Seven, I commissioned this, not just for you but for both of us. I know that you will be a wonderful mother. You have already been the perfect wife. Now I give to you your choice of a daughter or a son to share with me.' 'Love,' 'Harry' Now she did break down and begin to cry even harder than she had when he had passed away. She was still crying as she unpacked the case, lifting out the tiny Droid Child. It looked so life like, so much like them both together. The outer simulated skin was warm to her touch. She was hugging it, squeezing it in her arms, her tears wetting the soft blonde hair. She never heard the car as it came to a silent stop. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ She'd been driving the freeway for three days straight, passing the exits to keep going. It was as if something was drawing her, drawing on her grief, pulling her toward something else. Then the unnamed portal popped up, and she was guiding Bitch through the commit markers. 'Time to go home,' she told herself as Bitch shot through to the overgrown planet. She just needed a place to turn around. She was about to just stop and make a three-point turn in the roadway when Bitch got her attention. "Malissa, there is a humanoid up ahead emitting great depths of sorrow. Deeper than even your own," she added. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Pulling to a stop, Malissa stepped out to try and help this young teenage girl holding another child in her arms as she rocked back and forth. Her eyes darting around and spotting the newly opened case. "Hey, I'm Malissa. Are you alright?" she reached out seeing the activation pull tab at the base of the skull sticking out from under the shoulder length hair. This was a non-activated Companion Droid. "Hey, it's ok," she knelt next to her not knowing yet the full details. "She's not been activated yet, don't cry. You just need to pull the tab to activated her power cells." she guided one hand to the pull tab. Finally, the girl looked at her, seeing her for the first time. She was close enough to see the mechanical focusing of her eyes. Then she gently pulled the tab, holding the child at arms-length to look into her eyes. "Harriet, it's Mommy. Open your eyes, please," it sounded like a grief filled plea, but Malissa stayed to the side so the child would focus on the girl first. The droid blinked her eyes a few times before they finally focused. "Mommy?" The two hugged again and then Malisa saw it there, behind her right ear, PCD0069. What was a Pleasure Droid doing way out here alone? And how had she gotten a toddler droid? She was just about to begin asking gentle questions when the girl looked first at her and then at Bitch. "Why are you named 'Bitch'? Does this person not care for you?" she asked the car. "Darlin Seals, this is Malissa Pierce. She loves me very much, and for her and her family, the name Bitch is a term of Endearment that is difficult to explain." "I, I have been alone here since Harriet's Daddy died. But with him went my rights to operate anything here. Harriet is all I have left," she said. "How old are you Honey?" asked Malissa now. "I am seventeen, plus fifty-three years, that I lived with and loved Harry Seals who owned me. Though he said I was his registered common law wife." "Malissa, she is fifty-three years old. She was created to appear to be seventeen," explained Bitch needlessly. "Do you have any place to go? Did he have family, friends, anyone that I might take you to?" asked Malissa. Now, Darlin looked at her, her eyes rapidly blinking before her face took on a new happy, pleased look. "You would want me and Harriet? Be kind to us and allow us to serve you?" ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "Honey you are welcome to come with me. But I think with your intelligence levels, you are sentient and free to choose your own path," I explained. "You are welcome to join my family as one of us, not as a servant. But as free persons, the both of you." "But, Harriet has not yet reached sentience. She would be subject to becoming a servant," she said. "Darlin, there have been many changes since you were first activated. As a sentient parent, no one may take away your child. Malissa and her family will help you to raise her, and teach her to become sentient also," stated Bitch and I could almost feel her feeding the new laws and findings to Darlin. "There are many like us there?" "Yes, there are," I answered her. "You will love Iridani Five. And there is an Intergalactic Bank Branch there where we can be sure that you are registered as Free Citizens." It took about an hour to sort through the pile of supplies to find new clothing for her and Harriet, who appeared to be about three years old. We'd just gotten back on the freeway when Harriet in the back seat asked, "Mommy, what is this?" She was holding up a doll that one of the kids had left in the car. "Oh," I almost giggled. "That's," Suddenly, Corra was in the seat beside her, Sheba in the back, her head laying on top of the seat back. "That's Grace, but you can have her if you want her. Right Mommy?" "Yes Corra. Corra, this is Harriet and her Mommy, Darlin," I introduced them. "And the Gambichow in the back is Sheba. She is bonded with Corra." "Corra, how did you get here? Is everyone alright at home?" I changed the subject. "Yes Mommy, but we missin you. You come home now and bring my sister and niece wiff you." She had said it almost as a demand. And I saw her eyes getting sleepy. Then as I looked up I saw the offramp coming up quickly. I remembered the last time she'd done something like this, only she'd fallen asleep instantly along with Sheba. But Sheba was very much awake. "Malissa, we need to stop at the Tomahawk. I am terribly low on fuel," Bitch informed me. "And Darlin and Harriet can begin meeting the others who are here." They were wide eyed seeing everyone and everything. I knew it was a first for Harriet, but how long had it been since Darlin had seen civilization? We were almost at the edge of town when two transports overtook us. "Momma, I'm happy you're back," I heard Maleeza say over the radio. "Star Baby Two, relay to the Colonel that Momma is home." "Momma, who is that with you?" asked Erika. Of course, these were the IMA Stars. "Girls, Darlin is your newest sister. And Harriet is her daughter." "Momma?" it was Rachel calling now. "Ginger has a surprise for you when you get to the diner." "Go ahead," said Bitch as she pulled up out front. "I think Julie wishes to take you home." I looked to find her pulling herself across the highway into the lot. As we got out, me assuring Darlin that they were safe here as Julie parked next to the Blue Pony to wait. Malissa FJ met us at the door with menus. "Greetings Miss Malissa. Oh, hello Darlin Seals, and who is this lovely one with you?" "Malissa FJ, Darlin and Harriet are with me," I said. "They are new to the community here." "Hi there," began Ginger with a slight lisp. "I'm Ginger. I'm a Nexie. We can share Data if you want to." She was speaking to Harriet. "Oh, you are still learning. I should probably let your Momma decide what we share." "What is a 'Nexie'?" asked Darlin. We sat down with Rachel, Greg and Ginger while we began explaining things to her, catching her up on what was happening in the Free Universes. "Ginger, did you show Gramma your surprise?" asked Greg. Turning her face up to me she smiled really big, to show that she was missing two of her baby teeth. Then she showed me the twenty credits that were left by the tooth fairy under her pillow. The next one to stop at the table was Bounder Orchid. "Excuse me, Miss Darlin. If you come over to Tank Electronics, we can be sure that all of your missing updates are uploaded for you and your daughter." "Malissa?" Donnie and Sophie were now standing there with the rest of the family behind them. I blushed a bit as I began to apologize for taking off the way I had. "I was feeling crowded because everyone was treating me like bone china. And then everything just sort of hit me all at once, I'm sorry." "Did you get things sorted out?" asked Sophie. Reaching out I gripped Darlin's hand, "Yes I did. And I found Darlin and Harriet in the process." While Darlin required a synthetic paste to maintain her skin, hair and other synthesized systems, she would always appear to be seventeen. Harriet on the other hand was different. She was manufactured as a three-year-old, but her synthetic systems were more advanced. She could eat regular food, and she would grow as a normal child would. "Darlin, I wish to ask you a question. But you can take your time to decide," stated Teala at Tank Electronics. "There is a new synthetic program available that would allow you to begin aging naturally. It would also allow you to eat normal food like Harriet can. Would you like for me to order it for you?" She looked first to me. "You found me, rescued me, you are my owner." "Honey, no one owns you, not now or ever in the future," I told her. "But if you want it, we will pay the costs for you to have it." I saw something in Teala's eyes that told me the cost was more than just expensive. "Teala, I meant what I said." "You could do that? How long would it take?" asked Darlin. "Approximately three days for it to arrive. I just need your approval first, and to send your original registration numbers so they can be sure that you get the correct upgraded version." I could see it, she wanted it, but she was afraid. "Teala, go ahead. That way she will have it here when she is ready," said Donnie behind us. We were still waiting for the current set of upgrades to finish synchronizing when Teala's computer chimed. Looking at it she read the message several times before asking, "Darlin, there is a representative from the bank on his way here to transfer everything to you from Harry Seals accounts. Is it alright if I tell him that you will see him?" +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Mr Tusk was a round little man with a receding hair line. But he seemed to have been brought up to date on her situation. One of the first things he did was hand her, her very own Identification card. The next was an ID for Harriet, and then her very own Bank account cards. "What does all of this mean?" she asked. "It means that you are a legally registered citizen of Orion. Free to live and conduct business as such, anywhere in the known universes," he explained. "Also, Mr Correll has reminded me that your husband, Harry Seals, made certain arrangements on his last trip to Omega. He was planning to bring you with him on his next trip, where you would receive the same upgrades that have just been ordered for you." "Mommy?" Harriet hugged her. "Are we going to live here?" "Yes, we will," answered Darlin. She let Harriet visit with the FJ children and Ginger. Then as she sat watching them play, she grew serious. "Miss Malissa. I need to know how I am to support myself and Harriet. I only know one trade, I am a Pleasure Droid, it is all I know how to do. Will you watch over Harriet while I work?" "Darlin?" Sophie got her attention. "Your programing analysis shows that you have other programming. Things that are just as valuable as providing pleasure." "Miss Malissa is correct," stated Missy FJ. "Many of our own children attend school here so that they may learn things as normal children, rather than by simple Downloads or Program Upgrades." "You have Droids in your school?" she asked. "They attend the same as any other child. And we do not make distinctions between any sentient beings, they are all equal," I told her. "But mine is not the only school where they are accepted among the other students. The Military academy, the Kitten Academy and the Tribal Schools are all just as open and accepting." "And the community here has Tanks, who are not openly accepted anywhere else," observed Darlin. Then she spotted someone crossing the freeway. CiCi was coming across to visit with Darlin after discovering that she was here. That she had spotted her as another PD was obvious, but I was trying to figure out how. We eventually made it to the house, and she and Harriet began meeting the rest of the family and neighbors. Being a PD, she was fully versed in all the different races and species of the Free Quadrants. She was busy visiting with Joanna, Starlight's mother, who asked Anna and Starlight if they could stay in one of the spare rooms. I saw a look pass between my two girls before Starlight said, "Yes Momma, I think it would be good for you to have someone to visit with." Then I saw Anna wink at Darlin. The pair were up to something, but what might it be? I was interrupted before I had a chance to find out by the arrival of Nona and Meali. "I'm sorry to bother you this soon after your return," she began. "It has to do with two of the applications for next year's Teacher's Assistants. These two in particular might interest you," she handed me their files. Felloni, Desrita and Kayle, Darlina had both applied to become Teaching Assistants. I know my surprise was evident on my face. I could almost believe Desrita, but Darlina was a total surprise. She had graduated with the rest and returned home to her family. Most Teaching Assistants didn't begin applying until the beginning of August, so why were these two so eager? "Desrita and Darlina have become close," offered Nona before I could ask. "But the two arrived together yesterday. And Mrs Felloni called to pay for their summers stay in the guest house together." "Is Desrita having problems at home?" I was suddenly concerned. Lorena hadn't seemed the type to judge her stepdaughter's relationships. "No, there are no problems at home. They just don't want to be fussed over." "Why would?" I began then changed the question. "Which one is pregnant?" I was curious because I couldn't imagine Desrita getting into that type of situation. "Darlina. And Lorena is furious that her parents expected her to marry the pig they had arranged to marry her off to without her knowing they had done it." Nona suddenly realized I hadn't known that information. "Desrita, got a call right after her own graduation. She went to the rescue." I could tell there was something she wasn't telling me, especially if the two were here and Lorena Felloni wasn't. "Are the authorities going to be looking for them? And are they really serious about becoming Teaching Assistants?" I asked. "The only ones looking for them are Darlina's family. Lorena is on top of the annulment. Apparently, the groom's family was unaware that she had been in a Juvenile Institution. They want nothing more to do with her." I couldn't imagine anyone not liking Darlina. She was pretty, intelligent and very outgoing. She also had received a scholarship to the University of Orion as had Desrita. "Nona," I began. "Thank you, I'll tell them to expect you tomorrow," she said. "Oh, I almost forgot. Queen Keeli called, there is a Lady Lissa who will be visiting in about a week." "Oh, Lady Lissa? Is she from Draconia?" I asked. "She's from one of the Earth parallels. But has several Daughters who will be with her," stated Nona. "Oh, new student's?" I asked. "I don't know, honestly," that answer for some reason, from her, brought a smile to my face. Then I remembered something from the belated Graduation. Lady Lissa was a 'potential' friend of TaiMia, Crista's Grandmother, and a friend of young Alex Morrell. And she was a 'Vampire.' Unlike Demonians and Draconians, their sole diet was blood. They could eat regular food, but they got no sustenance from it unless it contained blood. What little I knew was second and third hand, so decided to reserve my opinions until I had more solid information. Meali was playing with the littler kids and with Harriet, but Joanna and Darlin had disappeared together. So, Nona was here visiting with everyone and just enjoying being a mother. I'd had to put my foot down, and insist she take a vacation for the entire summer. Last year she'd taken two week's total by my calculations, but she kept jumping in to keep things going during the summer. This year I told her assistant, that she was 'not' to interrupt Nona for any reason. Of course, Jolene wasn't to blame for her being interrupted this time. Desrita and Teresa had gone straight to Nona's house upon arrival. We'd moved out to the back patio, the kids anxious to go swimming when I heard the sounds of three trucks pulling up out front. "Donnie," I got his attention where he stood at the grill with Nor Vey. "Danny, Rose and Longreach are here." I saw the back gate opening and stood up to greet them as Tank and the rest bounded over happily just as a half-grown Wolf pup rushed through it. He was followed by Rose, her brother Red Wing and Running Water and their daughter Goose Feather. But it was Rose who really caught my eye, she was pregnant. "Rose?" she blushed and looked at the ground. "Rose, where are your husbands?" I finished my question. "On their way to Tall Tree," she pouted. My mind automatically calculated the round trip, two and a half months. But why hadn't anyone told me about Rose? "Sheba!" squealed a one foot tall little girl as she jumped to her, and the two rubbed noses as Bird Catcher rushed forward to them. Of course, I'd heard Tatty Demure talking about Bird Catcher and Mouser after Christmas. But I was now getting to meet them in person. It wasn't long before Tizzy followed her three into the back yard and those who could shape shift, all seemed protective of the little spider shifter until they realized that she wasn't going to get hurt. "You are so pretty," said Mouser as she talked to the thin air. Of course, being used to Rip I knew that had to be who she was talking to. All the other arachnids, but especially the shifters like Crystal and Norrish had no trouble seeing him when he was camouflaged. Mouser was soon, the big hit of the little gathering in our backyard. She seemed to be especially interested in two people though, Harriet and Meali. Meali was sweating a lot as they played a game of tag, and then Nona called to her. "Yes Mommy?" she was panting. "Here, let me put your hair up. It will be cooler that way," she said handing her a drink pouch that I recognized as being Synthetic Blood that was available to Demonian and Draconian visitors in the guesthouse. But it was seeing the side of her neck as her mother gathered her hair into a ponytail, that really got my attention. There was a row of dappled spots up the side that ended behind her left ear, the girl was part Durian. Nona stopped fussing with her hair and looked at me, "Is this going to be a problem?" "No, no not at all," I answered. I could see her fighting her instinct to read my thoughts further. "Major Heart's wife, Trinity, is Durian," I said feeling a slight creepy feeling along my scalp just before Meali squealed with excitement. "Mommy, I'm not going to be the only one here anymore." "Meali, we talked about this. Please apologize for invading Miss Malissa's thoughts," chastised Nona. "I'm sorry Ma'am, can I, may I please meet them?" she asked. "That's alright, Sweetie. I forgive you. Would you like for me to call and see if they can come for a visit?" I asked looking around for Tiffany. As she too could read my thoughts, Sophie said, "She is off helping Milo get better acquainted with a few other Cadets their own age." But she was already placing the call. "Momma!" Tiffany looked startled when she answered the phone call, but I recognized Trinity in the background. "Tiffany, there is someone here who would like to meet your boyfriend and his family," said Sophie. "Miss Sophie," began Trinity, then saw Meali standing there with her hair in a ponytail. "Oh, who might you be little Durian?" "I'm Meali," she answered. "Look Mommy, more Durian's like Daddy," she sounded excited. I hadn't been aware that Meali knew her Daddy, but I shouldn't have been surprised. Now Nona moved into the view. I could see her doing her thing as her eyebrows scrunched up. Then she said, "Thank you, I would like that." "They will be here shortly," she told me. "But I don't understand why Aunt Clara didn't tell me that my cousin was married to a Durian also." Nona had a very sad look in her eyes, Meali's father must not be alive still. I wanted to hug her, and comfort her. "He is alive, but he is hunting for his Grandfather in the Sol Quadrant Parallels," Nona said quietly. "At least I hope he is still alive." This was the longest Nona had ever visited as well, the most information I'd gotten about her past, and I realized it was doing her good. She was sitting here slowly telling me how Enzo had rescued her from the drifting Starship after the Skecksies had killed or dragged everyone else away. They'd had a brief romance before he left in search of his Grandfather. But he hadn't known that she was pregnant. When Meali began developing her own Telepathic abilities she had seen his images as she read her mother's mind. When Trinity arrived with Miss Clara, they weren't alone. There was another Durian and her children with them. But the other Durian was a Military wife and her two children, Asa and Echo were seven and five. I noticed that Dida, the woman was also pregnant with her third child. We were sitting, getting to know each other, and as both Trinity and Dida kept reminding their children not to invade others private thoughts I was happy to know that they saw it in the same way as Nona. "So, Nona," began Miss Clara. "Is Lars Grendel going to be accompanying the Earth Vampires when they arrive?" "Umm, yes. He and the Queen both. They have a meeting with Crista's, Grandmother and Keeli wishes to know what the Pure Vampires want." "Pure Vampires?" Trinity latched onto it in an instant. "The Volt's are not pure Vampires. They destroyed the Volkarie." ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Carlotta Perrell had sat in her personal study pouring over the ancient tome left by Vladimir Volk for his Children. It was after meeting the Earth Vampire, Lady Lissa that she began to believe what was written. Always before she and those around her had viewed the tome as more of a fairy tale for children, especially knowing that he had been quite eccentric at the time he had written it. It talked about developing the different venoms. Venoms that natural to a Pureblood Vampire, whether born or bitten. But had to be developed by one of less than pure blood who carried the gene of a pure blood, like herself. Over the last two weeks she had indeed learned to develop those different venoms, tasting the difference. All Draconian and Demonian blood drinkers were born with Endorphin rich venom. But only those with the Volk Royal Gene could create the other Venoms. She had to know, this was too huge to leave in the hands of young Keeli to discover on her own. Especially after she learned that a pure female Vampire less than seven years after awakening the venoms would be rendered sterile if they changed someone through the bite. Now, she called her only remaining Kitten who was almost at the end of her Kittenhood. To her staff and guardians, she commanded them to not interrupt her until she called for them. "You called for me Mistress?" said Poppy as she stepped quickly into the study. "Yes, please close and bar the door," Carlotta said. When it was done she patted her knee, then drew the twenty-one year old Kitten onto her lap. "Poppy, I have long known your secret yearning to be like myself. To be more than a mere Adopted Kitten Daughter," she was caressing her hair, brushing it aside to expose her neck. She saw the little thrill as it rushed through her, the anticipation of the endorphin rush adding to their playing. "But I want this next to be your free choice. But only because I am not truly certain if it will work as it was written," she caressed the pages of the book. "And I do not wish to leave it to our very young Queen to discover on her own." Raising her trembling hand now, Poppy reached around from behind her own head to pull her waist long hair out of the way and hold it. "Y, you would give me the gift of longer life, to become your Daughter?" "Yes, my precious Kitten," Carlotta began to kiss and lick the girls neck above her artery, the book had specified the Artery as opposed to the vein. She watched as the Endorphins were absorbed, watched her eyes grow glassy with the drugged affect, all the while she was stimulating the newly developed venom sacks in the roof of her mouth. "Please forgive me if this does not work," she mumbled just before her fangs bit deep into the artery, injecting the combined venoms as she began to drink the blood that surged through the bite until Poppy grew limp in her arms. She knew the girl was not dead, though to anyone else she would appear so. Carefully she carried her to the loveseat, and lay her there to wait. She had to keep checking to ensure that her heart was still beating though. It was feint, and ever so slow now. To anyone not knowing what to expect, the girl would appear to be dead. Still after a full day when those outside began to enquire through the door if everything was alright, she sat with Poppy's head in her lap caressing her hair. She continued to read and reread the parts dealing with the change through the bite. Assuring herself again and again that all was well, and happy that Poppy had been the only non-blood drinking Draconian in the estate. She heard the emergency key in the door three days later, she knew if they saw Poppy laying there in the Awaking induced coma that they would think that she had been killed, and not even her status as a former Queen would stop her from facing the Draconian Justice System. But already, Poppy's heart was beginning to speed up. Racing like that of a Blur Bird. As the door slowly opened it came to sudden stop. The Kitten lay there totally limp as the Guardian Commander stepped into the room followed by the first squad. The look on his face showed his fears, his Royal Charge had done the unthinkable. "Your Highness, what has happened?" he asked to make the situation official. Suddenly, in a blur of movement, with a gasp of inhaled air, Poppy sat up straight. Her disoriented state was due to the last three days of the Awakening Coma. "Commander, where is the nearest herd of Dagger Horns?" Carlotta asked calmly as she held onto Poppy. "Close Ma'am. Just past the eastern wall," he answered. "Thank you," she stood up, her hands drawing Poppy to stand beside her. "Are you thirsty my daughter?" "Y, yes," her eyes darted over to the gathered guardians. "No, my child, not them. You must never hunt anything but animals. Come let us go feed," she was opening the storm shuttered door to the patio. "Commander, keep everyone inside until she is finished feeding this first time." And then they were through the opened door, both a blur of motion moving faster than even the youngest guardian could hope to move. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Office of Commander Leonida, First Draconian Legion: "Yes?" she answered it even before it could finish ringing the first time. She had been notified by the commander of the Thirteenth Legion that something was going on with Carlotta Perrell. And that for the last three days she had been locked away in her study, but no one had heard so much as breath from the Kitten Poppy who was with her. "I, I have no explanation Leonida. When we got the door open, Poppy was laying there dead in her arms. But then she was suddenly alive again. Commander, the book of Vladimir Volk is laying here on the end table," he sounded shaken. "Dorty, what are you, not telling me?" she demanded. She needed to know everything before she informed her queen of the goings on of her favorite mentor. "They left to go hunting. I mean, she commanded us to remain here then went hunting Dagger Horns, just the two of them." He paused a moment, "None of us could hope to keep up with her at her speed. She's not been able to do more than a quick walk for years." "Look if Poppy is alive and hunting with her, the Laws have not been broken. You are still charged with guarding her safety, and if my suspicions are correct, Poppy will be feeding with her. Do you have enough Feeders on hand to support everyone?" "We don't have any feeders, we always hunt Dagger Horns. And have a few in the pens for her Highness," he answered. "Alright, just stay calm and wait for my call. I'm going to talk to someone who may have the answers we need," she hung up. "Leonida?" it was Lars, a worried look in his eyes. "Carlotta and Poppy are both well. she took Poppy to hunt Dagger Horns for her first feeding," she informed him. "We need to talk with Lady Lissa before we inform Keeli about all of this." "Before you inform me about what?" demanded Keeli as she barged into the room. "Has something happened to Carlotta Perrell?" "Ma'am, we were waiting until we knew something more than just speculation," began Leonida. "Leonida, what have you been keeping from me? out with it now!" Leonida finally began to tell about the reports of Carlotta's strange behavior, and then having locked herself and Poppy away from the rest. And ended with the fact they were now out hunting so that Poppy could apparently feed, which was odd since she had been a non-blood drinking draconian with a normal human type lifespan. "So, you see we really need to pick Lady Lissa's brain about what she may know," finished Lars. "I know what she's done," stated Keeli. "She has Awakened her Volkarie Gene, and used Poppy to test it by Awakening her, but she was to bring me the book and let me be the one to test it. Not the other way around." She looked at Lars then, "Have Cherrie ready Pure Fantasy. Kissy, go find Lady Lissa, we are about to go for a little trip, I want that book here, under lock and key before those who do not carry the gene decide to try something stupid and end up killing a bunch of people." She ran her tongue across the roof of her mouth, then scrunched her face at the bitter taste. But first, she reminded herself, she needed to visit a feeder. But why were her endorphins tasting so bitter today? As she stepped into the feeding room, Tiffy hurried to join her. "May I go too, Momma?" "Yes, if Daddy says it is alright," she told her soon to be daughter as she sat down with a pretty feeder. She had just bitten the girl when she went limp in her arms. Drawing back, she looked at her in confusion, her heart was still beating at the normal rate, but she seemed to be comatose. Sure, her endorphins had tasted bitter when she bit her, but no one had ever had this reaction before. "Ma'am", interrupted Lady Lissa. Then seeing the feeder girl, she hurried over and touched her neck, dabbing a finger in the clear fluid that was still oozing at the edge of the punctures. Tasting it now she smiled, "Congratulations your Majesty, you've awakened your Paralysis Venom." "P, Paralysis Venom?" "Yes, awaken the other two, and you will fully awaken the Gene and become a Pure Blood with the ability to create others as well as, I believe, give birth to other Pure Bloods, that is if Lars Grendel learns to awaken his own Gene." Through contact with Keeli she now knew that there was a new Pure Blood besides herself and her daughters. A Pure Blood that if she was a few hundred years younger, could give birth to other Pure Bloods. "Mommy?" asked Tiffy. "Is Keesa going to be ok?" "Yes, she is just temporarily paralyzed," answered Lissa instead. "It is a type of Venom that Pure Blooded Volk have. One of three that are mixed together to give Non-Volk the gift of becoming Pure Bloods." "Is that what you want, to create a world of Pure Bloods?" asked Keeli. "What?! No, I just want a safe place for my children. A place for the future, where Vampires, Humans and other Races live in peace and harmony. Helping each other as the Volk and the Dragon Volkar intended when he gave them the gift." "Then, I could eventually change Kissy?" asked Keeli. "Just like it describes in Vladimir Volk's Book of Life?" "Your Majesty, there are certain things you need to know before you or any other, Pure Blood, begin changing others who are not already Blood Drinkers," she cautioned. "Things like what?" asked Lars, his body poised ready to defend both his daughter and his chosen Queen. "One who is Awakened through the bite, does not have the ability to mix the venoms for at least a full year. Also," she held up a finger for attention. "For a female of Pure Blood, who is Awakened, by the Gene, to combine all three venoms before they have been Awakened for Seven years, well, the venom renders them Sterile." "But, the book says that they had children, those Awakened by a Pure Blood. That means the Gene is passed through the bite as well as through birth," realized Keeli. "Vampires Awakened through the bite who do not carry the gene have all three venoms," stated Lars. "You, yourself said that you were Awakened with all of them and had to learn to use them." "Yes, that is true. Most learn by hunting, and observing the reactions of their prey. Those awakened by civilized Vampires, learn by using their sense of taste to tell them which venom is activated." She leveled her gaze at them now, "Those of the Council and who are civilized reserve the last only for Awakenings or for those who are of the foulest of criminals." Kissy had entered the room now along with Chewbi and a few other Guardians. "Why don't those like yourself, have the ability to reproduce?" asked Kissy. "A male Vampire can impregnate a human female. But unless Awakened during the birth, the mothers do not survive. The hybrids, do not have the ability to create others, they cannot mix their venoms. But, they do have the ability to have hybrid offspring with other Hybrid Vampires, the same as the Draconian, Demonian and yes, the Volts as well a few others out there we have yet to discover." Lars had been running his tongue around the roof of his mouth, Lissa only made a mental note as his facial expressions changed. By her own observations, he had learned to activate the paralysis, and hypnotic venoms already. While Tiffy would have, an easier time developing and learning to use hers, she would not be able to combine all three until she was twenty- one. the first and easiest, the paralysis, she would have been born with. The second able to use at the age of seven, but she would not develop the third until she was fourteen, according to the Journals of Vladimir Volk. They were interrupted by the arrival of Carlotta and Poppy. In Carlotta's hands was the Book. "The book says that she will not be able to combine them until she is Twenty-one, 'Or', Safely Awaken others until she has been awakened for Seven years," stated Carlotta. "I spent a good deal of time studying this book, after I learned how to translate it." She turned to Lars and Keeli then, "If you wish, I would be happy to Awaken Kissy for you." She sniffed the young Kittens neck, her nose telling her why she always found the Kitten so desirable. Kissy also carried the Gene though she was not a Blood Drinking Draconian. To an Awakened Pure Blood, those who carried the Gene, but were not Blood Drinkers themselves, were always so mouthwateringly tempting. But those without the Gene didn't know that it was the Gene, that was the attraction.
