Coming soon...



It had been just over three months since Merritt and Asher had become vampires. The first month had been a blur of fucking and drinking endless bagged blood until the newborn phase wore down to something slightly less manic. The two newly turned vampires had been almost enough to wear Levi out. His cock had actually gone soft once towards the end of the craze from sheer lack of energy to keep going.

Thankfully, as it always does, the initial craze wore off. Merritt had easily settled into a new routine. Resting during the day, and enjoying the nights with Levi and Asher. After a month of being well behaved. Levi had invited Joy to come to the apartment to see if Merritt or Asher were past their bloodlust phase yet. If they could control themselves.

Merritt had passed with flying colors. Asher, had needed to be locked in the basement for the first time while Joy made a quick exit. The next week, they had tried again, with only Merritt. Joy came over, finally able to really see Merritt for the first time since they had both been attacked. Merritt had been able to easily sit in a room with a living, beating heart and warm, pulsing blood without giving into bloodlust. Talking calmly with a woman she used to consider a friend.

Joy considered Merritt her biggest failure. The reason she had retired. She had been charged with keeping one human safe from a terminally ill man who needed an oxygen tank and an idiot. And Merritt had died a terrible death. After working as a PI for the literal king of Hell, an idiot and man who couldn't breathe on his own had out done Joy. She was done. No more PI work. She couldn't handle it.

As far as Vampires went, Merritt seemed noticeably weak to Joy, her charmed ring barely reacted to Merritt. Levi made the ring nearly burn when he got close. Asher radiated danger, and had nearly attacked her during the first visit attempt, rending her ring unrequired to know he was a threat. The ring she had always trusted didn't seem to think Merritt was much of a threat to her at all.

While Joy was still very depressed regarding how Merritt had died. Her own failure and guilt heavy in her heart. Joy had to admit that Merritt also looked happier and more confident. Joy had never known a vampire before and after being changed. She still didn't think it was normal for Merritt to still seem so much like herself. Not this quickly.

Later when Levi had asked Joy if she believed Merritt was ready to go outside the apartment. If Merritt could hide the unnatural glow in her red eyes, she could pass as human. An answer which satisfied Levi that he wasn't imagining that his little dove was so very much herself again. Only stronger, less breakable now.
