The Last Supper – by Blackswan Rose

I was at Aura’s place again, this time with my boyfriend and hers. I asked her again in private if she was ready to feed. Again, she said no. I sighed. Things had been tense between her and I ever since she vamped out a few weeks earlier, when I’d refused to feed her because we were both drunk. She’d declined to feed since then, despite my offering, maybe to punish herself for vamping out like that, maybe to keep our friendship as “normal” as possible.

When I arrived at Aura’s place for our seventh feed, Aura was halfway through eating some pieces of raw steak. Instead of feeling repulsed or freaked out, my reaction was one of sadness and intense pity.

Tonight I cut into my leg. It was different, like returning to an old friend I’d forgotten. There’s something very awkward about having Aura present when I cut. It’s a very private ritual, and sends me into a state that I’d rather nobody see me. Even though she never watches, on some level it feels like an invasion of privacy.

Aura took the train to my side of town this morning. I met her at the station, after going to the pharmacy to re-stock on micropore and butterfly strips. “You must be hungry,” I said. “It’s been-”
“-5 days” She said.

Aura met me at work on Friday evening and we took the train to town together. Waiting outside the station for a cab to take us to her place, a dronk bergie stumbled across the street. Seeing us, he stopped and said, “Ladies… you make me think of… something… spicy.” It was the beginning of the most incredible night I’ve ever had. 

Second Cut – by Rose Dantis

Last week SAVN posted “Communion” – an article about a sanguine Vampyre and a Swan meeting for the first time, describing their very first feeding together. Rose is a donor to a sanguine Vampyre, Aura. Both are members of the SAVA and live and work in Cape Town. In her follow-up article on her new blog, Rose provides her personal insight into some of the lessons learned through their subsequent communions, and the bond that is developing between them.
