Both winners (Ayachii and Chobi) were fine with me posting their fanfics, so here they are. There isn't really an easy way to post three long fanfics in one post, so I separated them into three posts.
First place went to Ayachii, who sent in two fanfics. My favorite is first: her vampire fic featuring Aichan, Airi, and a surprise guest at the end.
Melancholy of the Night
Heavens
cried heavily that night. Its countless tears racing to touch the earth,
letting the coldness of sorrow be felt and known across the land. Yet the
murmurs of every droplet clasping down never made it through the room, only to
be seen without recognition by someone who never needed warmth as it sat in
dark emptiness.
Takahashi Ai
watched the window be drenched on the scourging rain. Night is dark, darker
than it should be with thickly clouded full moon. Yet she’s not afraid, she
felt no concern. Silently she sat still in her own chamber, barely distinguished
with the blackness comfortably settling with her.
She can feel
her coming. Her scent is unmistakable. A scent that haunts her every single
night, not failing to stain her sense with impatience… of wanting it to just
vanish as soon as possible. But she know better of herself, to tame the
animalistic instinct roaring within her. She had often conversed with this
human, and had successfully avoided to cause any phenomenon every time. Night
will pass by, and so this being, like its daily routine of passing by her
chamber’s door. Tonight was fated to be different though.
The door
cracked slightly open, and a lamp peeked behind it walked in, poorly
illuminating a girl that held it. Takahashi can clearly tell that she’s wearing
her usual skimpy maid outfit which often exposes those creamy thighs to her.
“Of what
reason brought you here, Suzuki-san?” She quietly asked as the lamp was put on
her table, bringing light to her features. Her golden streaks of short hair
glimmered with it, her face hidden beneath the shadows of her own hands lightly
placed on her head. Yet her eyes can be seen through the spaces of those
fingers, off to somewhere else, open and blank.
The girl of
Suzuki name didn’t flinch before her, opposed of what she thought. A rather well-thought, or might even be
well-rehearsed, reply was given. “I thought you might needed light since powers
are out.”
“Which is that lamp, I assume.” She believe her not, she’s fully
aware that the words weren’t true. But it is also beyond her knowing what the
real intentions behind the lie are. And she doesn’t yearn to learn, she’s more
interested of simply seeing the girl tonight. “How you’ll walk back to your
headquarters, dear helper?”
The girl was left unprepared for such question, however being so far
composed in silence. Takahashi acknowledge it, and spoke once again. “Suzuki-san
wants to stay with me in this chamber, right?”
It was rather a fact stated rather than a question, but the girl
answered nevertheless. “If Takahashi-sama will permit.”
“Oh Airi-chan~” Takahashi shifted off the formalities as she merged from
the seat, sauntering to the gloomy space before the huge window. “You know the
light isn’t a necessity for me. You know who I am.”
Her guest remained rooted to her place, unmoved and silent, still
illuminated by the poor light.
The girl is smart, Ai won’t deny. That made an exception for her, if
not of the world, but of the world unknown. Suzuki Airi gained knowledge beyond
of what an ordinary human must only know. She took a suspicious job from an old
Russian mansion isolated in the middle of the forest, only to find out that she
works for inhabitants unlikely her kind. She met beings above normality,
including Takahashi herself. Vampires.
“And yet you’re not afraid.” A faint smile played on her lips as she
turned and held the stalking gaze, seemingly a challenge offered. “Are you, Airi-chan?”
The lamp’s little, shy blaze was blew out to nothing. Only the
blackness was the girl able to perceive, lacking the extraordinary senses of
the other whose presence lingers unknown around her. While this vampire can
vividly see her, her blood flowing with more vigor while feel and hear her
heart pounding faster at new found terror of uncertainty. Her scent grew
stronger than ever, her throat rebelling with the burning desire to experience
the object of attention.
Fear, Airi-chan
Fragile being you are
You’ve caused such havoc among
us upon your arrival
Do you know how sweet, tempting
your blood is
Vampire I am, Airi
I could have just beaten you
right here and now
Anytime I desire
Quiet whispers among the still air, coming everywhere. Toying the
poor being as she whirled in puzzlement, continuously trying to grab something
but nothing out in the darkness. She clutched her ears, tightly closing her
eyes, her inside crumbling to a new feeling… fear… Fear. FEAR
Aren’t you afraid?
“I’m not scared of you, Takahashi-sama.” She unconsciously blurted
out, falling into calmness again.
Really?
Vampires, beautiful creatures as Airi found them, yet deceiving. A
mantle of perfection, perfectly hiding the horrifying secrets of their kind’s
reality. Simply their presence exquisites such charm that can lure you to
instantly lend your heartbeat for them. And though she was very cautious of her
own self from the vampires she socialized with through this work, being this
close to her- so close of feeling the vampire breathing hotly on her neck from
behind, made her emotions stirred within. She has admired the respected vampire
ever since she first met her. Kind and gentle in every way, her smile and words
washed away that fear of vampires. The existence of vampire head Takahashi Ai
made her believe and hope, that humans and vampire can co-exist peacefully.
“I love you Ai-chan.” Airi softly muttered, taking a deep breath
before letting out those words without hesitation. “I’m willing to offer my own
blood to you.”
The vampire’s prolonged resistance was now taking effects on her.
Standing this close behind this human was a regrettable, foolish mistake
committed. The pulse beat was vibrating and echoing wildly within her
head, and the exposed neck dazed invitingly
before her sight. Her breathing got faster and shallow, struggling to battle
with the instinct she’s been trying to control.
Shakily she grabbed the girl’s thin shoulders, holding it firm as her
fangs grew out longer. The girl before her solemnly closed her eyes, waiting
for those fangs penetrate her bare neck. Even
it means living to be a vampire just to be with you…
Almost too immediately, the presence left her and nothing came.
*
The vampire managed to detached herself from Airi just before she bit
her, desperately swirling around and throwing out her open palm to the air. Someone
who had been watching for awhile was drawn flying out of the darkness with so
much force. She wasted no time burying her fangs on its neck instead as she
welcome her.
Foreign memories flashed before her eyes as she consumed hungrily the
fellow vampire. The younger vampire’s old life, horrible past, her near-death
encounter. Her first kill as a vampire, her struggle and lonely nights being a
vampire. A human she met, hidden smiles she kept beyond the humans knowing, the
first time she called the human by her name “Airi”.
A kiss.
The elder vampire drew herself out from the drained younger, holding
her still effortlessly. She’s all yours,
Yajima.
The human only watched in horror as the vampire suck blood greedily,
pausing, before dropping her prey. Takahashi remained standing before the
weakened victim, who now became all too familiar to Airi, gasping in realization.
She froze as their eyes met each other again, those shimmering eyes of
bloody-red. A smile was formed on her
lips, as she licked the thumb that wipe a bit of her bloodied face. “Take care of
yourself, Airi-chan,” was the last words uttered to her, before disappearing
into the night.
She fell slumped on the floor, feeling all of her energy leave her knees.
Distraught was her mind at the moment, yet her soul sought to reach Yajima Maimi
whom her heart knew so well.
I’m sorry was all her lips
could muster, before taking the younger vampire she loved into her arms.
I liked it, but the ending is confusing.
