I'm never nervous for that, this though I don't know how I can manage to sit on this bed in the examination room and not be bouncing off the walls. Sam is reading a magazine in a chair Constance's face on the cover she did go and speak to the press. When the doctor comes in holding a file I almost jump down and charge him. "Nia please don't look at me like that." I sigh and look down to collect my thoughts, he's moved closer when I look up Sam standing there next to him. "I don't know how to say this," my face falls. "Twitch was correct you are no longer fertile you are a card carrying mother to be." I squeak and grab him up in a hug, Sam pulls me off him and we dance about the examination room. The doctor watches us his eyes sparkling as we go about then grabs my arm and pulls me back to sit down. "I understand your enthusiasm and I agree this is glorious news. Not just for you, however I am going to say next time you decide to get pregnant from a vampire no being fed from until after you miss your period. The egg floats around for six to seven days any changes to your body can lead to a miscarriage. Losing a pint of blood is a change." I sigh and nod. "I wasn't sure I've never had a dragon tell me I'm pregnant before. She never actually said I was either. I know no alcohol, drink orange juice, is there anything else?" He smiles at me. "Good list, there are pregnancy vitamin pills you can take. They help, you don't have to but they help. Mostly you just need the folic acid, drink milk it helps replenish your calcium levels. Avoid smokers as much as you can nothing more than wine occasionally until after you give birth. Best to not but the occasional wine doesn't hurt your child. No more than one glass a week, less is better. I know your Irish just try and curtail the keggers for nine months." Sam laughs I sigh and nod. "If possible speak to your fiance and see if he can get the local vamps to donate sperm. There are groups wanting to look into how viable a vampire is and they aren't getting many answers." I look up. "I haven't heard anything on that, I'll be sure and talk to him. Is there anything else or can we go? We have an interview with what were we getting today?" I ask looking over at Sam. "Centaurs, don't forget Twitch is DM tonight as well, new adventure." "I wish I had been there for the werewolves. I and all the medical world wants to speak to them, test as well I think. No that was all I needed to say to you, here's some pamphlets for you to go over has all of the information we covered already. Details warning signs of run to the hospital variety go on and see those centaurs." I smile up at him and collect the pamphlets. As we are leaving I notice Sam still has the magazine, she notices me staring and laughs. We get out to the limo avoiding the reporters, until I stop and tell them I'm pregnant. Sam hauls me into the limo and we are off to her parent's house. "I can't believe you stole a brand new magazine from your doctor." Sam laughs and leans in to me. "This one is not out yet, Constance was given a preview copy it comes out next week. The thing that I can't believe is we are staying at my dad's mansion and nobody has keyed in he's in the mafia. I thought they had pegged him as a made man ten years ago." I giggle and nod then hold up the pamphlets. "I don't know, doesn't matter perhaps the press is being quiet because we got centaurs and ogres and vampires all over the place. Anyway let's go shopping I want those vitamins I'm being fed on and pregnant." Sam giggles and leans in to me. "I'm starting to change my opinion, Ben is good in bed." I giggle myself as the window comes down. "Take us to a grocery store we are buying OJ and pregnancy vitamins." The driver nods and the window goes up again. "Doesn't he ever talk?" Sam looks up at me and shakes her head. "He doesn't like to talk, prefers to be in the background and forgotten." "Did Constance ever explain why she can go down on us and have no problem?" Sam sighs and shakes her head. "Has no idea why, best we can come up with is bodily fluids are bodily fluids. I suppose if bathroom play is your appetite a vamp could feed off piss." I shudder Sam nods and looks a little green. "May wish to include that in the report it's being shared with everyone in part. So what do we have after centaurs?" Sam smiles at me. "The only thing left is dragons and those were covered while we were talking to Ben about pregnancy and feeding. I wonder what the FDA is going to say on cockatrice." I shake my head. "I have no idea Greene told me last night on the phone they had gotten four more, two breeding pairs. They are going to do a six month review, see how they live what they eat so forth. Likely see if they can be turned into food by a standard chicken slaughterhouse. At least there's no more calls to have them as pets." Sam sighs and nods looking a little haunted. There had been a lot of people wanting to have them as pets, so two days ago we did a demonstration. Twitch herded two away from the rest and they dropped a mannequin in the area. The two cockatrices turned the mannequin into a pile of pieces in under a minute. Did help us narrow down what could have happened to the gang, wasn't cockatrice. We stop at a small store I look it over then at the driver. He shrugs so we head for the door to find a small or human form please sign. Sam and I glance at each other as we go in to giggle it's a small store with a lot of shelf space. We almost have to walk in single file down the aisles. Orange juice is easy it's in the back well lit. The vitamins take a little searching I get two of those, a folic acid vitamin and the pregnancy vitamins. The clerk eyes us as we walk over then breaks into a smile. "I am honored to have you in my store. I hope the sign is not offensive." I shake my head. "Perfectly understandable, I'm not sure a regular man would fit in here very well lovely selection you have." He smiles at me. "Thank you, we try to carry everything, some of the variety is not there but we do our best. Oh I see that you are pregnant, very good news it's been all over the news on what happens if you are and are not." I sigh and nod. "I know I'm not happy with the media circus following me around so much. I suppose it is good, no one has ever been proposed to like that before." Sam giggles and leans into me, he smiles as he collects money from Sam. Back in the limo I look out the window seeing a number of ogre and troll people sitting or walking. One of the posters sticking out of a trashcan gets the memory going, I smile it was a magical night. Ben had stayed out the night after he got to town, and left a message that I should meet him in central park the night after. The media was shouting questions as we exited the driveway. None of it made sense until I notice the posters there were posters all over asking me if I would marry Ben. There were pictures of me and Ben in a little heart under the words it was the most romantic thing I'd ever seen. The people we passed were either asking if I would say yes or urging me to say yes. Some of the posters said central park on them, there was a lot of traffic that night. When we got to central park it was a madhouse, there were cops everywhere clearing a path for me and Sam. I found Ben at the fountain with a lot of mages I had talked to them earlier in the day. A silence falls there are reporters watching with their cameras, Ben falls to his knee pulls out a beautiful ring and asks me to marry him. I shout yes getting a cheer from the crowd I jump in Ben's arms and kiss him. The mages put on a fireworks show of rather biblical proportions with my answer showing prominently in the sky. I think the second best part came the next day it was national news with video of the posters all over New York. The fireworks are going down as second only to the two hundred celebrations in Washington. Sam touches my shoulder and smiles at me, we are home. "I saw the poster that was far and away the best proposal I've ever heard of. To think he's only twenty six, I bet Constance had a hand in the planning." I giggle and nod. Liz is waiting for us in the door we get walked around into the backyard. There are three centaurs here one is being ridden by Crescenzo both are smiling. I notice one is female, she has a sport bra on we walk toward her and the other one. Liz chases after Crescenzo and his ride shouting something at him. As we get closer both centaur drop low in a kneel then stand tall again. "Greetings Nia and Sam, we are pleased to make your acquaintance." I look at Sam she giggles then puts her hand over my mouth. "Greetings to you in return, we are pleased to see you standing tall and strong. May your tails never wither." They smile at us then motion to chairs. I sit in one chair Sam sits in one next to me, the male asks me to look away then sits down in human form. "Apologies, unlike the rest we hold formal greetings very high. I'm Xander and this is Mia. Our third is Franklin, he is young and enjoys frolicking." "No apologies needed, I missed the class on your formal greetings. I admit I was a little shocked to see Mia in a sports bra, the rest do not cover up." Mia giggles and covers her mouth. "Centaurs are singular in the need for these bras, when we still wandered in our true form we would hold our breasts to move past a slow walk." I sigh and nod. "Yes I think I know why I have to wear sports bras to jog that much higher up would be worse." "I understand congratulations are in order." Xander says leaning forward with a smile. "Yes the doctor just told me, I am pregnant and it's Ben's. At least with me vampires can still breed. I need to speak to him, they wish to test vampire sperm of different ages to see if they get less potent or if there is something else stopping them." "At least they are sharing the information not that I blame them, they are singular creatures feared the world over. At least they were, with you saying yes and being pregnant from one the fears should die. I know you have the information already but I will say it again, we have no powers. We can't put lights in the sky or burn things with our fingers, we can't do the eye trick I agree that is neat. All we can do is heal ourselves using things we find in the forest, we have known that for a very long time. We are good archers, our warriors have a singular ability to attack in two or even three directions at once." I smile at Xander. "I knew everything but the last, it is good you covered it all again. I was mostly wondering how your mating works." Mia turns pink and puts a hand over her mouth. "That is a little embarrassing, when we are not in human form we mate like a combination of horses and your doggy style. We are like horses, in we only become fertile at certain times. Luckily we carry a child for nine months like a human even if we are both centaurs. We have twins sometimes, it is rarer than for humans." Sam looks over at me and smiles, I nod and look back at Xander. "Sam and I are wondering why you chose to look human rather than a horse." Xander chuckles and leans forward. "Horses do not trust us on sight, it would be a little hard to not be killed if the rest of the herd on the ranch is afraid of you. We walk like a horse the similarities end there they always know we are different, they can smell it." Sam leans forward. "What do centaurs prefer to eat?" Xander and Mia laugh. "We like salads, we also like hamburgers and really anything you would find a human eating a centaur will eat." I look over at Sam, she's grinning. "You are the easiest interview we have had during the day. There's really only one question left. Can you be killed with a shot to the torso or is your heart in the horse section?" Xander smiles at me. "Yes and yes, we have two hearts in this form. I suppose lends credence to the myth that a centaur is a man and horse forged in to one. If that is true it was a very long time ago, our records go back almost as far as the trolls." Mia steps forward and clears her throat. "I hope you do not find me rude but I wished to ask if you have been told how long vampires have been around. We do not know ourselves it was always seen as a myth until they came to us." "We've asked, they do not know, their records only go back to the fourteen hundreds. Their older records burned in a fire for the most part, there are some pieces of them that talk about the twelve hundreds. The myths are known to generate back farther, some of the earliest forms are said to be born one thousand B.C. based on older. All that is known for sure is vampires are very old collectively, perhaps going so far back as to be with humans before they were human." Xander and Mia nod. "Constance and I have been talking on it, we both think that the first vampire wasn't human instead a serpent or other animal that bit a human, or before human and the line has spread since." Sam says getting an excited huddle from Xander and Mia. "Perhaps that is the reason for the story in the bible of Adam and Eve." Xander says finally. "Perhaps, Constance is going to let them do testing on her saliva and other things. It would explain their fangs being hollow like a snakes." I say as Liz comes over. "I never knew my husband liked horses. It is close to dinner time, we have taken to eating early so these two can be fed to be food when it gets dark. Consuela will have your vitamins ready for you with dinner Nia. You three are welcome to stay, Consuela has a tendency of making enough for everyone in the neighborhood." Xander laughs and stands up to give Liz a kiss on the hand. "We would be honored but alas we can not. I must return to my wife, Mia needs to return to her husband and I believe Franklin has a date." I shake hands with Xander before he goes after Franklin. Mia comes over and takes my hand then gets lower. "You did not ask the other question on mating. We like to do it as often as we can, I am nearing heat and my husband enjoys practicing so." I giggle as Mia straightens and trots away. We watch them leave then head up for the dining room. Crescenzo joins us looking very happy, Liz looks at him and groans. "If only you had said you liked horses we could have kept the stable." Crescenzo chuckles and shakes his head. "Franklin has a date with a human woman, he wanted advice. Mia is a centaur Xander has a centaur wife he couldn't ask either. We made it look like frolic as he called it so Xander would leave us alone." Sam sighs and rolls her eyes. Dinner is a lovely affair with shrimp scampi, Chicken Gordon Blue, and pasta, all of it drenched in garlic. Constance had talked to Consuela and gotten her to add extra garlic. It was funny when we found out but really good food so there was no complaining. We are finishing up the light gone when Consuela screams, she always screams when Constance and Ben come out of the cellar. She's a little afraid of vampires, she'll talk to Constance but won't let her feed. Ben she barely even acknowledges, as it turns out Consuela is lesbian. "I hope you had a good day." Ben tells me as he sits down leans over and gives me a kiss. "Very good day, we got the official notice today, you are a father." Constance squeaks and comes over to give me a hug followed by Ben doing the same. "Nia went and bought vitamins and a lot of OJ. There is a pamphlet around here somewhere that the doctor gave her." Liz says smiling big with her eyes sparkling. "Yeah, still no telling if Sam can be knocked up with me from Ben. Oh that reminds me the doctor mentioned they are trying to get vampire sperm from various ages to test the potency and see what makes it hard to get pregnant. They want help because the vampires aren't helping I guess." Constance sighs and sits down. "We are a little afraid of doctors, they always know we are dead and it tends to lead to problems. I'll stop at one of the houses on my way to the testing I'm doing and tell them to not worry and just go donate. Maybe they can test me see if I do produce eggs, I likely am too old but the younger might have a chance. Course we may not birth human either, perhaps it is better if we stay infertile." "You're still going to be Aunt Constance." I say getting a smile out of Constance. "That would be better, I can not do diapers and simply give presents that annoy you two." Sam giggles, I shake my head. "You are not getting off that easily, you are the baby sitter if Ben and I go on a date. Trips we would need to hire a nanny but dates you're babysitting." Constance giggles and nods. "I am looking forward to that, I was the oldest child so did help with diapers as often as I felt like. It was nice I wish I could have had my own child, with you pregnant and Sam trying I can get all of the joy and none of the pain. My youngest brother I was nine and heard the screams." Liz shudders and shakes her head. "Constance no sharing the horror stories, supposed to let the younger women find out for themselves. They have gotten better on pain killers, if you yell a couple times they shoot you full and you can just lie there feeling nothing but a little pressure. I have a younger sister gave birth five years ago now." "We want a natural birth." Ben says getting me to look at him then hit him on the head. "No we don't, you might I do not. If I could I would go into labor and drink until I pass out and let the doctor get our baby out." Constance and Liz laugh. "Good answer, I remember birthing Sam I went two hours with nothing before they gave me a shot. It was the longest two hours I have ever done, I would like to have given Crescenzo a second child. If I could skip being there for birth I would have done anything to give him a big family." Sam is staring at Liz her mouth open. "You told me it was a hard birth and you could not have any more kids." Liz giggles and looks down. "It was painful, this was before the doctors would just give you a shot when you ask. I didn't want to go through that again so I had the doctors tie my tubes. Your father knew and didn't have a problem with it, I told you when you were five and wanting a little brother. I decided to tell you that one, easier to understand for a five year old." Sam sighs and looks at me. "Maybe you should be the only one getting pregnant." I giggle and shake my head. "Nope, if we need to we will tie you down and let a guy come in and do you, perhaps more than one. I'm so not going to be the only one pregnant." Constance giggles, Sam sighs and shakes her head. "You're terrible, I admit I do want to try at least once, your glowing and well damn I want to glow. We should go Constance has the appointment for testing and we have a game to get to." Liz and Crescenzo wave happily at us as we go, Ben left our game supplies by the front door. In the limo I sit next to Constance getting a hurt look from Ben, I stick my tongue out at him. Ben chuckles and pulls Sam into his lap, I recline into Constance who grabs me up and moves me around. "Constance, am I your food tonight?" I look up at her she looks back and shakes her head. "Ben and I talked it over, you're his fiance I'm just borrowing Sam for the time being. We are thinking we can find a man for me to feed on and still split Sam in Phoenix. Would put us at one night out to feed a week, four is a good number." I sigh and look at Ben. "I don't have to be yours only you know I do have sex with Constance when you're with Sam." Ben sighs and nods. "I know, it's a block I have, you're my fiance and call it screwy I don't want to share your blood." "Sometimes I wonder about you Ben. Sam when is your fertile time?" Sam looks at me then up at Ben. Nia: Playtime "I don't know I didn't have a boyfriend until recently. I should have my period in a couple days, unless Ben worked really well on us both." Constance giggles and rocks with me a little. "Would be nice I think, never tried two babes at once. Most likely you will have your period Sam and we can try in earnest next time. Might be a good idea to stagger you two so there is not much time that Ben does not get sex with one of you." I sigh and look at Ben. "Might be a good idea, though we don't know if Ben will work in Sam, I'm something of a given on getting pregnant from him, if Sam can then we have better information. Feeding on likely will help, course it's possible you can't feed on the woman to breed her." Sam and Ben look at me then each other. "I've been thinking about it, you got pregnant without being fed on, took six months of trying. Now it could be that there is magic hindering it and you being immune negated the magic. Suppose instead, the men have lazy sperm so it's harder. I called Europe and asked they looked it up one of the women pregnant from a vampire was with a two hundred year old. There is no record of her being immune to the magic they tried for three years I think." I look up at Constance and smile, she smiles back. "That would be a good reason it's rare, lazy sperm does not always work. There is another thought, suppose instead of lazy it is short lived. Regular sperm lives up to three days, suppose vampire sperm lives a shorter amount of time, only one day or day and a half." "Yes I think I see the problem with that, I will have to speak to the doctors. They are far better at this than I am, when I was alive laudanum and cocaine were cure all's. Ah my stop have fun with your game, I still don't see what you find so good about it." I laugh as Constance gets up to go out the door, she looks back at me. "D&D is like writing a book we are given a scene and decide what we each do in it. You love to read I know that, it's really the same thing." Constance smiles at me. "Perhaps I will try it in Phoenix, we are returning in six days?" "Seven days Twitch wants an extra day to be sure her child is doing good." Sam says coming over to sit where Constance was sitting. Constance nods and is gone Ben sulks in his side of the limo as Sam pulls me into her lap. Sam puts a hand to my breast to turn me a little then leans down and kisses me. I lie there under her and revel in her tender kisses to my lips, my nose, and my neck. I'm starting to get a little excited when Ben grabs me and pulls me over into his lap. I look up at him and pout he looks down and laughs, I poke him a couple times. The rumble of the limo going over the cow guard alerts us that we are there. I check the gold watch I gave Ben its nine thirty. Wondering how we got here so fast, usually it's not until ten at least, I lie on Ben's lap. I look up at him and can't help but smile he's my fiance and the father of my child. Ben leans down and plants a loving kiss on my lips. This kiss is so loving that my toes curl a little, I grab his head and hang on for the ride. Sam has to pinch my nose closed to get me to pull away from Ben. We are there I sigh and get out to see Twitch ambling our way. I go over to her and scratch her head, she leans in to me and I almost fall over, she's gotten wider. "Twitch have you been eating a lot more lately?" Twitch looks up at me and giggles. "No, I'm swelling to lay my eggs. Nia you are good luck I am going to have twins, usually I do not swell this large until the day before they are laid." I giggle and wrap my arms around her head. "Your good luck for me as well we went to see the doctor today for the test results your not the only one expecting." Twitch let's out a breath. "Well that is good news, I knew you were but always good to have tests. Get on I can carry you to the game circle." Twitch lays her wings out a little I climb on her back then hang on to her neck laying along her back. "Where's Speedy?" I realize he isn't buzzing me. "He's visiting with Red, I think he's a little upset that he's purple." "Oh no, he listened to those kids didn't he." Twitch growls and shakes her head. "He wanted to be red or black. Instead he's purple and he's a little conflicted on it. Those kids did not help, he was not happy before that." I can see the lights ahead, with a few people standing around a table and chairs. I climb down off Twitch and move to a chair waving to Marie and Ben her husband and the owner of the farm. I turn to Twitch to see her standing there looking at me I lean closer. "Let me guess, your sister is mad you are having twins." Twitch laughs and nods. "More than that Speedy is thinking of moving it is time for him, he only needs birds and rodents yet but he can survive on his own." I look at Twitch she seems a little reluctant. "He has decided on a place and you are not happy." Twitch let's out a breath and lies down. "More than that, he's still upset over being purple. I don't want to let him go until he is at peace." I nod at Twitch and move to the ground. "You are worried he will do something dumb and be hurt or dead because he's upset over his color." Twitch lets out a breath and nods. "We are not supposed to see our children die first. If he messes up the cockatrice will tear him apart. Here I can herd them for him to swoop in and get one. It does not help he is moving to a farm that the dragon was just killed by the cockatrice. Very dangerous for a week or two, they have short memory but until they forget they might attack. I would go there and herd except you need a male to do them until they forget. The roar is what scares them away, takes three to get them away from the body long enough to remove." I look at Twitch and sigh. "How do you herd them when you are a new female?" Twitch giggles and looks up at Ben standing over us. "Carefully, my first day walking in this farm I killed five and was scratched. They learn quickly to avoid the dragon but until they do it's dangerous even for a full size like me. Perhaps that is the point we die easier than the men do. There is not a better population control than removing the females." "I think we are all here, nobody mentioned Chris was coming." Ben says giving me a hand. I look around to find Chris and his boyfriend Stan. Stan is in goblin shape tonight, he seems to alternate them in a pattern only known to him. I head over to get a hug from Chris then Stan gives me a hug. "Stan I keep telling you, I wish you would listen you can so do better than this old fart." Stan laughs and pulls me down. "I like him, we never had that many secrets between us, I think after two years ago when he told me what he does we only had one that you let me tell him about." I giggle and grab Chris. "Yeah but looks he's got a face only a mother could love." Chris laughs and grabs my face. "Well at least my face doesn't lead to diaper changing we've heard you are pregnant for sure. All over the news all day it's almost sickening. Reminds me have you heard about the anti fantasy movement? Somehow our new friends got turned into just as bad a thing as gays in some churches, they are trying to recruit enough to do protests and marches." I look at Chris and sigh. "No I haven't heard anything on that, luckily not my problem. I'm in charge of making sure they follow the laws. I might get work with the police in case of their deaths as well. Make sure they ask an expert type thing." "Well just be careful, as much as they claim to be nonviolent they do hire assassins. I'll let you know if I get asked to do a presentation on you. I wouldn't but there are some who are dumb enough to think they could." I sigh and nod in thanks. Twitch yells and slaps the table I move over to sit with Ben. Twitch looks around to be sure everyone is sitting then stands up. "One question, do you all know each other or do the meeting in tavern part?" Everyone agrees know each other, keeps the session shorter. "Well then, you are all sitting around a table in the happy dragon tavern when Nia comes in holding a map." "Guys check it out I pilfered a map." I look over at Twitch for a second then continue. "It shows a way to a secret mansion with treasure inside." "Treasure I'm so there." Chris says getting hit from Stan. "Chris you're a fighter this time, Nia makes a better thief." Chris sighs and looks down. "Doesn't mean he can't like treasure, I'm the cleric and I want treasure I'm with Nia let's go." Sam says with a laugh, Chris perks up. "So long as it's not undead again I'm in." Ben says to some laughter. "I just wish I could be a goblin mage. Let's go treasure hunting." Stan says getting a breath out of Twitch. "We covered that already, let it go. Marie, Ben-Ben are you two sure you don't want to play?" "Yes we find it more fun to roll the dice and watch. Wasn't there another coming?" Twitch nods and points. "Sorry I'm late got held up at work." Will says as he comes and sits down next to Sam. We fill him on what we are doing, argue a little over what he is then turn to Twitch. Twitch stands up again looks at each of us in turn then lays out the scene. *** We followed the map to find almost a castle sitting in the forest. With hills to either side and tall trees everywhere it's easy to believe not many know it's there. There is a clearing leading up to the massive doors letting us see the castle in all its glory. It's perhaps four stories up with a window here and there for the most part it is solid stone. Looking carefully we notice it is decaying at the edges, this castle has been here a very long time. Sam grabs my arm and points up with a giggle, I look to see the roof on the castle in it's various heights is green like my eyes. Giggling myself I lead us to the massive doors, they are starting to fray a little. I check around for traps and find nothing so let Chris pull the door open. It is not a quiet opening, the door squeaks and groans until it is opened enough to let us in. I let Ben go in first, when in doubt follow the vampire. Ben gives me a sigh and a darn you look then goes in. He grabs my hand and pulls me after getting a giggle out of Sam and Stan. With all of us in the castle we look around and gasp, it's massive with steps going up a door to our right and left. Straight ahead there are stairs down to another set of massive stairs. I pull everyone into a huddle and look at each in turn. "So right, left, or up?" "I'd rather go down secure a safe spot to rest then go up." Ben says I shake my head. "If we go down we may find more of you Ben, one Ben is enough for now. We have eight hours to look about upstairs. Perhaps we can find a safe spot up. Besides think of it this way, this castle is small up, meaning most of the creatures will be down and the treasure will be up. There's no dragon here so up will be treasure down is fighting. Chris, not a word." Chris shuts his mouth to giggles from Stan. "Up is likely to be mages and necromancers, not exactly a better situation." Will says getting a sigh out of me and a nod. "Yes I know they are not awake all night, best to take them on now so we can face whatever is down. Probably a massive horde of those ugly goblins." I stick my tongue out at Stan. We go to the left door to find a very large library the books are rotting except for a few. Stan takes an interest in these and goes through them before groaning and passing out potions. I look at the one he gave me the liquid inside is clear with a fire floating in the middle I look at Stan and shake my head. Sam giggles and downs the potion, Chris does the same. I down the potion and feel a little warm for a second then nothing. Protected from fire we move to the right door to find the kitchen. The kitchen is in use by hobgoblins getting a giggle out of Stan. I shoot him a withering look then move closer to the hobgoblins. Pulling out my bow I aim at one then jump when Chris and Ben yell boo. The hobgoblins turn and charge pulling out cleavers in the process. Somehow they don't notice me and stream past all six of them. I turn and follow them after making sure there is only six hobgoblins, I raise my bow and shoot one. My aim is good, it hits the thing in the head not well enough sadly it turns to look at me. It takes a couple steps in my direction I get another arrow into it. It staggers a little then charges cleaver held high. I squeak and drop my bow to pull out my daggers then charge it. I'm outweighed by a large margin, thank you Twitch, so we collide and tumble back the way I came from. I'm stabbing at the hobgoblin being cut by the cleaver. Stan saves me I'm pretty sure I was winning anyway, but he comes along and puts magic missiles into the hobgoblin. It's cut in half above me, Ben pulls the pieces off me leaving me lying there covered in hobgoblin and my blood. Asking for a bath I shush when Sam appears above me and heals me with a grin. Ben and Stan go looking for water then come back with a pot of water. I shake my head then get drenched anyway. Will pulls me to my feet with a laugh and we check the kitchen. There's nothing worthwhile here just pots and pans and mystery meats. So we go up the stairs hoping they were not making dinner. If they had been making dinner it was not for up, the second floor is a dining hall. The tables are broken, what few chairs there are still here are likewise broken. The windows set into the walls looking over the expanse of the dining hall gets me a look from Ben. I point up he groans and we go to the stairs up. The third floor is hallways and doors, we found the bedrooms. I lead us all the way to the right then we start checking bedrooms. Most are empty or rotting beds and dressers. We find one with a chest, a big chest perhaps four feet across and the same wide. Chris moves to go open it I grab his hand and shake my head. I put an arrow into the chest then back away, the chest came alive. Arms and legs come out of the chest and it comes for us the lid opening and closing with big fangs. My hair tingles and starts to rise, I duck lower feeling the surge of static electricity before a bolt of lightning shoots past me into the chest. Magic missiles sail past sending the stunned chest falling to the ground. Chris moves to it and starts hacking at it with his sword. A couple thunks get me to go over to the remains, ducking low and moving pieces to the side I find two daggers, nicer then the ones I have with gems in the hilts. The rest of the bedrooms are likewise empty or have rotting beds. The fourth floor is impressive the throne room is here with doors to the right and left. The throne itself is glorious raised a little on a dais with etched gold for the legs and back. There is a man sitting on the throne he stands up his cloak billowing around him, Ben curses. The master vampire comes toward us resplendent in a black suit with a sky blue shirt. His cloak billows around him black with blood red interior. Gasps around me say he's spelled them and it's just me against him. Really not a good thing, though the look on his face says perhaps he thinks I am frozen as well. His voice is deep and resonates, seems to bounce off the walls around us. "Poor pitiful adventurers, you should have gone down. Perhaps I shall keep the redhead to be my bride. Would you like that my pretty?" He comes closer. Hoping my new daggers work on vampires I pull them and stab him. Not caring if they do or not I keep stabbing he's screaming above me. Wondering why he hasn't tossed me through a wall yet I keep stabbing. His insides spilling out around my hands to the floor. I stop when he sags, he does not fall just slumps. I look around then, Ben and Chris are holding on to his arms smiling at me. We make sure he stays dead this time then go looking through the doors. The door on the left is a bedroom with a very big bed. Ben gives me a look suggesting he knows a thing or two to do with the bed. I sigh and head for the other door. This door leads to treasure, there are swords and shields, armor, and every girls best friend, jewels. Stan and Will suggest stopping to rest before we venture into the down. Ben takes my arm and pulls me to the bedroom, the rest following. *** Knowing what Ben has in mind I stand up and pull my panties off. Looking around I realize Marie and Ben are already getting to the sex. Figuring she is fertile I move with Ben to a spot to lie down on opening my top so he can play with my breasts. Ben does not disappoint, he puts me on the ground kissing me his tongue entering my mouth. I move with him loving his hands on my breasts tweaking my nipples. Ben moves down me slowly planting kisses on my cheeks then my chin. He spends a while at my neck teasing me with his fangs pressing into me just a little. I sigh when he goes lower to my nipples. There is just something magical about having your nipples sucked between fangs. My hips are rising under him anxious to get the main course. Ben just stays at my nipples sucking on them I'm getting close to orgasm feeling his lips on my nipples with his hard fangs evident on the sides. I'm begging for him to fuck me when he drops lower. I have my orgasm when Ben sucks on my clit it is just like with my nipples. For the extra thrill he can run his fangs along the sides of it before sucking. I'm screaming and moaning in pleasure when he moves atop me. My legs in his arms I'm bent in half waiting for his cock to find me. I don't have to wait long Ben lowers his hips, nuzzles up to me ad slides inside. Finding myself close to orgasm again I move with him offering my neck. Ben just keeps fucking me when I look up he's looking elsewhere. I twist my neck to see Will fucking Sam, or perhaps the other way around. Sam is sitting on Will bouncing with abandon I watch her breasts bounce and feel jealous, she looks better like that than I do. Ben nuzzles in to my neck pulling my attention back to him I offer my neck then giggle when we are twisted so I'm looking at Sam again. Ben sinks his fangs into my neck getting my orgasm to crash over me. I'm staring at Sam looking so nice bouncing on Will screaming my pleasure. The fangs in my neck the cock in my pussy and Sam bouncing like that send me far over. I'm twitching and holding at Ben barely seeing Sam and her luscious breasts bounce. I pull at Ben tighter when he pulls out of my neck and fills me full of his glorious warmth. I just lie there after sighing and moaning a little feeling so incredibly good. Sam comes over and looks at me, snaps her finger a couple times. I smile in jealousy I can't snap my fingers that well. I jump when Twitch roars very close to me I scramble behind Sam and look to see Twitch lying on the ground giggling. "You weren't responding so we went drastic." Twitch says somehow giggling at the same time. I crawl over put my head next to Twitch and nuzzle her head. Twitch lets out a breath and moves against me. "Twitch would you be averse to staying in Phoenix with us for a little while, Sam's folks want her pregnant and Sam is up to trying. Would be good if you were there to tell us when she was ready and if it worked on the trying, just for the one time." Twitch laughs and moves against me a little more. "I could would have to find a dragon to scare the cockatrice here they only remember two weeks maybe and it would take longer. Sam's about ready for her period right now, two days I think. Are you sure you can afford this? I'll need plenty of food for me and my twins while we are there, I eat a cockatrice every other day plus what Marie and Ben feed me from the chickens and meats they buy. I remember how much it cost for you, me and Speedy at Burger King." I giggle and pull back to look at Twitch. "I'm sure we are going to go looking into why the gang disappeared. There should be wild cockatrice near there for you, your sister and the kids. Might take us a few days of looking and the police will bring us food." Twitch lets out a breath and stands up. Nia: Playtime "I'm scared of looking into why. If it is a dragon that did it, it would need to be large to get them to disappear. We can't stand up to a dragon that large, at ten feet the claws are five inches long, twice that and your looking at seven, long enough to hit vital organs on me or my sister. I asked the trolls, they are the experts on everything us." I sigh and look down then pick up my panties. "I don't want to look either, it's just a gang. I wouldn't if it wasn't for the fact that people are scared now. Before it was that's weird, now it's oh my god there's a dragon big enough to eat people. We have to look, don't worry I'll bring the Barrett and everything else I got. It would have to be at least a fifty foot dragon to stand up to the Barrett." Twitch laughs and heads for her chair. *** Our resting and fun over we head down the stairs to the first floor and the doorway down. I check it for traps and find none, careful to not complain I let Chris and Ben work on opening the doors. It's to dark to see anything a slight noise alerts me to something there. I ask Will for light and Stan for the other light, hobgoblins lined up on the stairs are revealed by Will's light spell. Stan's other light proves to be rather effective. I'm pulled down as the ball of fire shoots over me into what turns out to be a rather short roof. The little ball turns into a big fall spreading out over the shocked hobgoblins. I'm left lying on the floor half blinded by the brilliant flash of the detonating ball. The hobgoblins get it worse, the flames fall down amongst them. The screams are deafening as they are lit afire, some charge up trying to get put out. I use my bow on the chargers it's easy to pick them out when they reach the stairs. Sam covers my eyes when a second ball shoots over us. More screaming after the ball detonates. Twitch is playing at being annoyed, I know better she likes to spring things on us. We move down the steps stepping on and in things best left unsaid. At the foot of the stairs we find a corridor, it is square and straight and I get a very bad feeling. I get a fire arrow and launch it down the corridor, we find out two things. I'm cursing about both of them. The first thing is there are doors on the right side of the corridor. The second thing is the arrow only goes about halfway then stops in midair. Stan and Will hit it with lightning, two of them to be precise. I launch another arrow and hit nothing until the far wall. We go through the rooms fast at the urging of Marie, it's getting toward head home time. *** "I had more to do but you guys took to long to satisfy the sex urge." Twitch says to laughs. "Twitch, do you want me to come back in the afternoon and take you and Speedy for a little snack?" Twitch looks at me and nods. "There is a place at the edge of the city Ben-Ben can drive me and Speedy there. Denny's I think it's called, perhaps with more adults he will understand better." I smile and nod. "That would be a good idea, Crescenzo wasn't happy about driving you in his limo last time." Twitch lets out a breath and looks down. "I am sorry about the cushions, it was just a fast stop and I didn't wish to run into the window." I giggle and nod. "He's upset more with what could have happened than the cushions. It's not designed for dragon riding." Ben takes my arm. "Nia if you can be awake at noon we can have lunch at Denny's." Twitch is following along. "That sounds great Constance has seen the light she will try playing with us in Phoenix." Twitch laughs and nods. "Twitch I still say we should record your adventures and write them up with maps. You're a celebrity now and they would sell great your good at making up adventures." Sam says Twitch stops walking and just stares at us, before running to catch up. "That is not a bad idea Ben-Ben is barely scraping by, our wish is for the cockatrice to be edible for people. The FDA has said early signs are good they need to do a six month survey. Vampires still take a lot of the money we make it is getting better at least. You were right them helping the homeless is seen as a good thing, but not enough have gotten jobs yet. According to Greene a lot of places are waiting for the new branch of FBI to open first. Vampires are still a scary story. Greene did say there is a company looking to do vampire porn there were some movies available already, but none with a real vampire." I look over at Ben, he shakes his head. "I haven't heard anything on that. Chances are good I'm being kept out of things because you're my fiance. I'm also not old enough to be let in on what they are doing elsewhere. Constance may know we will have to ask tomorrow it's getting toward dash home and straight to the cellar." I rub Twitch on the head and wave to Marie and Ben. Sam must have said something the driver gives us a bouncy ride to the actual road. I get pulled over into Sam's lap again I curl up on her and look at my Ben. "Ben, I'm curious, do the female vampires leave their fangs out or put them away?" Sam giggles above me, Ben chuckles. "They leave them out for another woman, for a man they put them away. Constance aside most female vampires leave their fangs out until it comes time for sex. Constance is something of a rarity most vampires that get caught in the sun stay and let it finish them, even with the spell. The ones that don't leave their fangs out are being cautious, they are old like Constance. Constance mentioned one that remembers the Salem Witch Trials." I squeak when Sam grabs me up tight. "Oh we have to meet this person, pick their brain. Someone that remembers that far back would be a godsend to historians." Sam says leaning forward, I sigh when Sam relaxes on me. "Could you not squeeze me like that please Sam, I do have precious cargo aboard." Sam looks down at me turns pink and kisses me. I like this kiss she's pressing her lips to mine, her tongue entering my mouth. She's put a hand to a breast flicking my nipples quite nicely. I twist around to put my hands to her breasts. Sam is moaning a little as we keep kissing I'm getting damp between my legs. Ben pulls me from Sam so suddenly she ends up on the floor halfway between the seats. I turn to yell at Ben until I realize the door is open, we are home. Constance is waiting for us in the doorway the sky is starting to lighten a little. Ben carries me into the house Constance grabs me from him and drops me on the sofa in the sitting room. Sam grabs my hand to keep me from bouncing off as Constance and Ben dash for the cellar. There is a squeak just before the door slams shut in the distance, Sam and I trade a glance then head that way. Consuela is sitting on the floor of the kitchen looking a little like she had been having fun. "Consuela did Constance talk you into something finally?" I ask as I help her up, Sam is giggling. "Yes, or perhaps I talked her into it, she is very shy around me. It was glorious, no feeding she had done that before she came back, she knows how to pleasure a woman." Consuela is smiling big at us I giggle myself and smile back. "Yes she does, you should let her feed it's a wonderful sensation. She may not with you she won't let us look when she does." Consuela sighs and looks down. "My church has said letting a vampire feed is a mortal sin. Having sex with her is not a mortal sin I don't know what to do, I like her and I like my church." "Consuela if you like you can return to Phoenix with her, we can find a new cook easily enough." Liz says coming in to the kitchen wearing nothing, Sam groans and covers her eyes. I admit it I looked Liz looks very nice for someone on the far side of the forties. Her breasts hang down lower than Sam's, not to her knees as some like to say of women experience sagging. They are still nice fairly firm breasts just stretched down a little. Liz smiles at me as she passes to the fridge. "Are you sure? I wouldn't want to leave you in a spot." Consuela says making Sam even look at her. "Of course I'm sure, I'll have Crescenzo fill out an ad later today and hopefully you can make sure they know what they are doing. Are you sure Constance would like you to come?" Liz says crossing back to grab Consuela by the shoulders. Sam groans and covers her eyes again. We all jump when we hear a shouted yes from the cellar. Consuela smiles and moves about like a high school girl in love, she gets me a glass of OJ, pulls out things to make breakfast and shoos us out. We go back to the sitting room, Liz moves to sit on the sofa until Sam finally just yells at her to put a robe on at least. "I'm sorry for my mother she's not the best at thinking in the morning. Clothes tend to come in last." Sam says as she curls up in my lap. "The view was nice for a woman pushing fifty. I guess now I know how you will look if you don't go vampire on me." Sam looks up at me and groans. "I wasn't thinking about it maybe when I'm thirty to avoid the back problems. I guess we are not jogging today." I shake my head. "We're getting up at eleven today, we should skip breakfast and just go to bed, I'm hungry and I was fed on I need to eat." Sam sighs and nods. "I'll get the pleasure tonight, I wonder if Consuela will forget her church and feed Constance. Actually I think a better question is why does Constance like Consuela so much, she's said she likes men better." I shrug and shake my head. "Something we will have to ask, perhaps some of it is Consuela is a good cook. I'm pregnant and your going to try we need to eat well and fast food isn't eating well." Sam giggles and looks up at me. "True, you do know how to cook I've helped Consuela, I don't think Constance wants her to come because of pregnancies. Suppose it is something deeper, perhaps Consuela reminds her of a sister or past lover." Liz and Crescenzo come in, both wearing a robe, they sit on the other sofa. Crescenzo looks a little unhappy Liz on the other hand is smiling. Crescenzo sighs and sits forward. "Nia if you're going out today or the rest of the time you are here go armed." Sam squeaks and sits up to look at Crescenzo. "How much are they putting on my head?" Sam looks at me her mouth hanging open. "Fifty grand right now, it's likely to go up after a few attempts." I sigh and shake my head. "Fifty will get them people, it won't do any good but they will have some of the stupid. Do you know who?" Sam is staring at me now, shock rolling around behind her eyes. "No word on that, I had a few guys keep an eye on the pocket books of the dealers, the ones we know." I sigh and nod at Crescenzo then get up. "I'm going to call Greene the trolls are good at finding out things." I walk almost to the door into the entrance hall dialing in Greene's number. "Greene sorry to wake you, I got a small annoyance." "What sort of annoyance?" He doesn't sound like he just woke up. "Someone has put fifty grand on my head. I can handle that in my sleep I want to know who." Greene laughs for a few seconds then clears his throat. "I've been up the last three hours because of that. I have a name for you Walter Green does it ring a bell for you?" I ponder that one for a second or two and I get an image of an oil tycoon that hired me and wanted to marry me, not why he hired me in the first place. "Shit does he own oil? I had an oil tycoon named that hire me to kill an opponent and wanted to marry me. I was blonde for him." "No... yes he does. He's also a founding member of a new group no vampires allowed. I think this might be slightly personal to him. Sorry I had to scroll down the listing has the oil platforms at the bottom. I don't understand why he's only offering fifty for you." I sigh and put my head in my hand. "He was my first job after moving to Phoenix, I wasn't thought to be that good yet so all he paid was fifty. I took out his target in three hours, I think he was having thoughts of keeping me around for sex and to kill anyone he wanted." "I can see why you declined, he's fifty now. Do you want to hold a press conference or just see if he ups the ante and go after him?" I giggle I can't help it I giggle. "No I'll speak to the press, I think they camp out in front of the house." I go to the sofa and can't help but sit down Consuela made a wonderful breakfast of hash browns, omelet and sausage. I have a huge glass of OJ I look from my ever so full plate to my OJ then at Liz. She shrugs with a grin, I look about for my vitamins they aren't here. Sam takes my arm and mouths dinner at me, I sigh and nod and start to eat. The omelet is delicious, it has garlic in it oddly it helps on the taste with the cheese and peppers. The hash browns have garlic as well I yell for Consuela, she comes in sheepishly looking more at the floor than at me. "Consuela this is getting weird, why is there garlic in the hash browns?" Sam giggles as Consuela looks at me then points down. "Constance asked for me to load you and Sam with garlic, she said you are getting close to tasting good." I sigh and shake my head. "Maybe we thought too much into why Constance wants to bring Consuela." Sam breaks out laughing rolling over into me. "Constance likes me, she's not to loving me so far but she does like me. Confessed she talks to me because I'm cute and we hadn't had sex before because she's been shy and I've been shy. I don't like committing sins but well she was worth it." "Well you better load up on garlic as well, Constance loves garlic and you're not going to not feed her for long I'm sure." I say getting a smile out of Consuela. "I have been I eat what I make for you two. I'm waiting for Constance to go past liking me then I'm her food." Liz gets up and gives Consuela a hug. "There is one thing I don't understand, why are you feeding me garlic? Ben doesn't love garlic as much and he's said he only wants me to feed him." Consuela sighs and looks down. "Constance said you are always with Sam so she may as well get twice the smell. I think she's trying to convince Ben it doesn't mean any less if she feeds on you. Sometimes she stops to talk to me in the evening and I get the feeling they had an argument." I groan and lean back, suddenly not hungry. "Damn I thought he was not the jealous type. Lovely morning, find out there's an insulting price on my head and my boyfriend is not going to let Constance feed on me. Sam could you help me to bed I'm suddenly not feeling terribly mobile." Liz and Sam trade a look of worry then both grab an arm and pull me up. "Nia do you have a pain low in your belly?" Liz asks at the top of the stairs, I shake my head. "I'm worried, I'm tired and it seems like everything is piling on top of me. I'm fine I just need to sleep I'm pregnant after all sleep comes with that." Liz looks at me oddly then pushes the door open to Sam's bedroom. "I hope you can sleep, I've heard the stories about you and your pre killing habits of going to it fast as you can and sleeping after." I sigh and look down then squeak when they drop me on the bed. After Liz leaves Sam gets undressed then climbs on the bed to get me undressed. I sigh with her hands touching me in the good places I rise up in the proper areas for each piece. I pull Sam to me for a kiss knowing I should sleep and wanting to do something besides sleep. Sam pulls away to set the alarm when she comes back I snuggle in to her. I want to have sex I want to get on top of Sam and lick and suck my way down her, instead I rest against her and go to sleep.
