Of Blood, Came A New…

​ Crimson, Sweet, sweet crimson.

It ran like a river over her tongue, the bold and flavorful substance still tingingling with the warmth of life, something she savored every last bit of. 

Nothing was quite as refreshing as draining a life force. 

The bluenette looked on with disgust, her nose wrinkling as she witnessed the blood-thirsty and hormone driven woman tear through the blood bag like it was fresh prey.

“Jeez Snow, I know hormones are a curse but…”The woman spoke, only to be silenced with a deadly glare from the female figure SNow.And it was true, as a new soon-to-be mother, she could only fall victim to her natural instincts. One of them being to tear out the Bluenette’s arteries and slurp them of their blood like drinking straws, but of course that simply wasn’t an option. So, slightly warmed bags of donated blood will have to do, although it's not like she could go running and hunting in her state anyways.  

With only a few weeks of such a long process now under her belt, a small bump began to show on her figure, which of course drew on the concern that such developments will stretch out and fade her numerous tattoos inked into her pale skin. The bluenette, having given her dues to bring forth two contrasting identical twins with the man she loved, reassured that her tattoos will be quite alright and that she should simply focus on keeping herself and her child safe. 

Snow could only sigh, discarding the now empty blood bag as her demanding thirst was temporarily sedated for now. “I don’t know how you could manage, Alex.” She admitted, gazing to Alexandria for guidance, reassurance, something to ease her racing mind at the thought of being a mother.

Alex gave a smile,placing a gentle hand upon her shoulder in support. “You’ll be fine, dear SNow. The gods are looking down upon you, and this child. And they are peaked with interest, so you are in safe hands.”

“Gods?” Snow asked, her brows knit together in confusion. But it melted within seconds as a dastardly grin spread on the bluenette’s features, as her hand upon the wolf-eared woman’s shoulder tightened with great intensity. Her mismatching orbs rolled back into her skull, revealing the pure whites of her eyes. 

Vines slithered out from their hidden origins of the bluenette’s flesh, ensnaring all that was around them, including the mother herself. They crawled up her metal limb like a snake slithering across the ground, twisting itself and wrapping around her body as it continued to ascend. SNow fought fiercely  against the entangling plant life that stretched their green limbs up and past her waist. But her struggles remained in vain as she realized with each movement and struggle against caused long and sharps thorns to tear and rip at her flesh, implanting themselves deeply into her skin.

At the sake of herself and her unborn child’s life, she ceased her movements, the vines continuing to twist and snarl around her figure without a hint of ending. Her eyes desperately looked to their owner, the whites of the bluenette’s eyes now having turned to a bright crimson red, such as the sticky sweet blood that ran down the wolf-eared woman’s body from the penetrating thorns. The cursed smile remained painted on Alex’s face, as her lips parted to speak in a lost tongue...

Until, Snow had opened her eyes.

 Two purple irises revealed themselves, gazing not into a hellish nightmare, but rather a conglomerate of tree branches swaying in the gentle winds, their leaves intertwined with each tower as bits of sunlight poked through the cracks. The scent of fall was sickly sweet in the air as it brushed against her flesh.  Her exposed flesh. 

Startled from such an awakening, Snow sat up abruptly, looking down upon her lewd flesh to be assured that the entangling vines were just a dream. With a careful breath, she dared to look around her surroundings, finding herself in the midst of the thick winds she had been so accustomed to. A sigh of relief escaped her lips as she leaned back, feeling the rough coarse bark of the great oak tree upon her back.
