I’m not going to start from the beginning. We will start from this time forward.

Once upon a time there were two sisters. Sadly torn from one another at the hands of a Human. Until one day…

I could feel something lurking on the horizon. The moon had been rising for a week and was to becoming swollen in the night sky. Morning came too quick. Alarm screaming at me, forcing me to awaken. Reaching up, pressing the power on the laptop, I went to make coffee. The sun shining in the rest of the house, blinded as I crawled out of my cave. “Need Coffee”, I moaned, dragging myself like Frankenstein to the pot of black warmth. Slinking back, unnoticed, into the darkened room with my mug. Not wanting to say good morning to anything yet. The warm liquid sliding down my throat woke me just a little more. Settling back into my bed to check emails, hoping for something special and not just more spam. I dribbled my coffee when I saw who I got a letter from. My sweet, dark sister. I rubbed my eyes just to make sure I was not dreaming and opened the letter in my box.

I must of been in close proximity to her recently, she must of caught my scent. Immediately, all the brief moments we spent together swirled like eddies in my mind. Times that we made stand still. The bond that we once shared was the epitome of two becoming one. A love that is rarely shared and most misunderstood amongst humans.

We spent that morning chatting online, sewing the lines of our souls back together. It was as if a day had not gone by since we talked last. Her words, soft and sweet across my screen, made me remember how much I loved her. We made a plan to meet, in the moon drenched night to rekindle the fire that once burned. Anticipation churning my blood, pacing like a caged animal as I waited for her in front of the graveyard where we first met. She pulled up to the curb, her smile brighter then the headlights. I jumped in and we threw our arms around one another, inhaling deeply. Her sweet scent was just as remembered, her smile warming, her eyes igniting. As she pulled away, I tried to relax, but every fiber of my being was catching her vibration, making me tingle. Trying to give direction to where we going without tripping over my tongue. Pulling into the parking lot safely we couldn’t get out fast enough. Embracing her fully now, nuzzling my nose into her neck, I could feel the pulse in her veins quicken with a gently laid kiss. A soft moan escaping from both our throats. Giggling, we walked arm in arm down a darkened path, into the brilliant light of the moon. Drifting into her on purpose as we strolled, catching her familiar scent.

Leaning in, I kissed her ivory shoulder, sipping gently, slowly intoxicating every fiber of my being. Placing my hand on her heart and hers on mine, all the time lost between us, evaporated into the sky. All the love I have for my dark sister came flooding through me. All the memories of what and who we are came rushing back. My blood coursing hard, reminded of her touch. Igniting the once smoldering embers, bursting like a phoenix from the ash. Soaring fast into the night sky and touching the moon that blessed us.

It had been so long since I have felt the coolness of her body near mine, warming my skin. Too long since our lips tasted tongues. We teased, taunted and nibbled one another threatening to bite until I could no longer contain my mouth. I cupped her beautiful face in my hands and instead of biting, kissed her. Sweet like honey her tongue dripped into my mouth, I licked it off her lips, wishing it was crimson.

I ache for the moment to give her my gift. For a night of her and I loving each other until we are raw, feeding until we are sated, and for time to stand still for us once again.
