"What has happened?" I asked unable to take my gaze from myself as I spoke to Mistress.

"You, my pet, are no longer human." Mistress informed me making me frown in confusion. "You are like myself and others that you will meet soon. We are creatures that humans and other creatures fear. We can go out into the sun but it harms our skin after a long time and our eyes are very sensitive towards it. It's why humans and other creatures alike call us Nightwalkers. We are also near-immortal, meaning we can live forever as long as our heads stay on our shoulders."

"I've never heard of such things." I whisper and I couldn't really believe it, but it was here, right in front of me. My body has changed and I don't know how else to justify the changes from my bland human looks to this attractive creature.

"Of course you wouldn't, we are very good at hiding our presence within this world. We are mainly creatures of the night, hence the name Nightwalkers. We hunt during the night and most of our living is done during the night." Mistress explained walking up behind me to place her smooth hands on my shoulders to slide them down my arms then back up in a sensual caress that gave me goosebumps as she spoke.

"Hunt? What do you mean hunt Mistress?" I asked softly feeling her hands come up to my shoulders then slide down between my shoulder blades till her nails soft touched the top of my bottom. My breath hitched as an unfamiliar feeling made my body shiver.

"The liquid you drank, it smells so rich and sweet, beautiful and intoxicating, yes?" Mistress asked looking at me through the mirror from over my shoulder. Her hands continued to trail over my hips to softly brush over my ribs and stomach. I couldn't help another quiver as a warmth stuttered over my body. I felt petted and for some reason, I was loving it.

I nodded in answer since my throat had thickened again making it hard to speak. "It is blood my pet, human blood." Her amazing voice whispered into my ear both chilling and heating my body with the action.

Surprise and horror flickered over my face at the realisation of what I've done, but for some reason I truly didn't mind that it was blood. The taste of the liquid that I could still remember being absolutely divine, I could tell by how my body reacts to it that it was needed, much like how humans need food to survive, which makes it a lot easier for me to realise how important it is and not how disgusting it was.

I gasped and my eyes widened as unexpectedly Mistress' hands cupped each of my breasts derailing any thought process in my head.

"Why do we have to drink blood?" It was barely a whisper but she heard me, of course.

"We are creatures that feed off of humans. To sustain ourselves we need the blood of humans. Why this is as it is? I haven't the faintest idea. It is how it is so I go along with it and live on." Mistress' hands moved from my breasts sliding down my stomach once again to trail her nails along my navel and pubic bone. Once again her actions made me shiver and goosebumps to appear over my skin; it was feeling really nice.

"I have been alive for a long time, my pet, and I have not yet found a substitute as refreshing and rejuvenating as human blood. It is what keeps us alive and sain. We need it so we take it. Much as humans take milk from cows and goats."

I watched intently thought the mirror as Mistress' fingers moved down my body to touch the short, tamed hair that covered my most intimate place with one hand as the other trailed back around to touch my bottom.

"Do we have to kill the humans?" I asked just as quietly as before. My heart was just about ready to beat out of my chest. Mistress' fingers on my body was causing it to feel something I've never felt before, and I've been touched a lot, but not as softly and exploratory as what Mistress was doing now.

"No, there's too much blood inside a human for us to drink it all. But that doesn't mean there hasn't been any deaths during a hunt or while feeding." Mistress' hands slid further down touching the inside of my thighs until she couldn't reach any further without bending down.

I wanted her to touch me where it was burning the most but sadly she stopped her hands for a second before starting her trek back up my body till she reached my neck. She curled her fingers around my neck in a soft hold under my hair. Her breath brushed over my neck as her molten eyes stayed trained on me through the mirror.

"You are a very beautiful woman, my pet." She whispered into my ear as she tilted my head to one side and pulled my long hair away from my neck. She trailed her nose from my shoulder to my neck and up to my ear softly placing my earlobe between her teeth; the actions made me shiver while a small, near inaudible, squeak left my lips.

"Thank you Mistress." I barely breathed as I saw her liquid gold eyes shine brightly. I was amazed by the sight of her canine teeth elongating and sharpening.

"Can I do that?" I couldn't help ask as I felt her teeth trail against the skin of my neck going over the fast beat of my pulse.

She chuckled softly as her arms wrapped around my waist pushing her own body and voluptuous breasts up against my back.

"Yes you can. Open your mouth and look for yourself." She whispered in my ear once again her lips brushing it softly feeling like the petals of a flower.

I opened my mouth and concentrated on my purly whites, that didn't use to be so clean. I watched fascinated as I started to feel my gums and teeth begin to prickle. My eyes widened at the sight of my own canines becoming longer till the sharp tip of the fangs were nearly hanging halfway down towards my bottom lip.

When I closed my mouth with them still long, the tips created dimples in my bottom lip and you could just see the tips of them.

"It's so strange." I whispered more to myself than anyone else. It felt weird to talk with my teeth as they were and my words came out with a slight lisp.

"You're not frightened?" Mistress asked watching me intently.

I shook my head. "No Mistress. There's nothing to be afraid of." I truly believed that too. I felt safe with Mistress behind me, even with her hand still around my neck and her other still being around my waist.

Mistress smiled brightly as she hugged me to her chest. "You are something else my pet. Usually when I change someone they have second thoughts about serving me and try to leave. They never survive stepping through the bathroom door."

"I have pledged my life to you Mistress." I shook my head while frowning slightly. "A pet to you is all I will ever wish or need for. You saved me from being less than excretion. I owe you everything and more."

Mistress hummed pleasantly in the back of her throat; obviously what I said was the right thing to say.

"Thank you, my pet. Now, you're going to become one of my personal guards, wherever I go you will be there with me, well after you're all trained and everything. So, from now on until I say otherwise, everyday you will train in both etiquette and combat. You're looks weren't the only thing that has changed during the changing. You are now faster and stronger than most creatures in existence. As time goes on you will grow even faster and even stronger. Along with your strength and speed, all five of your senses have become more sensitive than a humans. For now, you will be trained how to control your strength, speed and all of your senses so that if we are in the company of humans they will not know that you are a Nightwalker."

"Mistress, even if I learn to control myself, will my eyes not give me away that I am different from a normal human?" I asked and Mistress' smile widened.

"You are quite observant my pet. Yes it might, but there is a trick that you will learn during your training." She praised me, which made me feel proud, an emotion I know of but have never felt before.

"In and around everything in this world, even in the sea, something called mana flows within everything that exists." Mistress explained as she let go of me making my naked body suddenly cold.

She grabbed my hand and led me to the edge of the very large bath. I stepped into the warm water and sat down on a ledge that allowed the water to swirl up around my chest. A mild thought of how such a large amount of water was staying warm crossed my mind fleetingly.

Mistress untied her red dress from around her and pulled it off before handing it to the silent blonde girl who placed it on a hook beside the green dress. Mistress then stepped into the water beside me and sat down with a sigh. The blonde girl came towards us to place a small bottle and sponge on the edge of the bath before walking to stand quietly and watchfully by a wall.

Mistress turned her back to me and used a ribbon, I don't know where that came from, to tie up her extremely long hair. I grabbed the sponge and pored the liquid soap onto it until it became sudsy. I started to rub it against her back and shoulders slowly. "Very good." Mistress praised me making me confused.

"What for Mistress?" I asked and she chuckled softly.

"You seem to have good control already on your strength and speed." She responded. I frowned and thought of what I was doing. She said that we have strength and speed more than a human has. If I press too hard I might hurt her and if I went too fast this moment will end too soon.

"I don't want to hurt you." I told her as I continued to slowly rub the sponge over her skin lathering it up. "And I don't want this to end anytime soon. I apologise, but I want you to keep explaining what is happening for me."

Mistress hummed thoughtfully this time before she turned and stood up in front of me showing me her perfectly rounded breasts that hung right in front of my face. She looked down at me silently and I softly grabbed one of her hands and started lathering it. She smiled down at me once I started again.

"You really are different, my pet. As I said before, everything around us has something called mana within and around it. We also have mana within us. Without mana nothing can exist, why? I don't know. But certain people and creatures that know about mana are able to control and manipulate it if they have the aptitude and patience for it. Nightwalkers are one such creature that can do it if they try, meaning when you are ready I will have you trained in how to use it."

"What is mana? Is it life like how blood is life within a human?" I asked and Mistress nodded slowly with a thoughtful look.

"Something like that, actually that is a very good analogy. Mana is like blood. If something doesn't have mana it cannot exist. If a human, animal or creature does not have blood it cannot live." Mistress nodded as I moved to her other arm. "But as I was saying with mana manipulation, no one can ever control pure mana. Pure mana is too strong for a creature to control easily. To use mana you have to use your own mana that resides inside you. To access the mana inside you, you have to train your body and mind. Spells or words from the ancient language help the process of accessing your mana easier. There is a danger though. If you use too much of your mana, you can die. After a time has passed since the use of mana, it replenishes itself by the pure mana around us and our own life force."

"Magic?" I asked because that's what it sounded like, but I didn't think it was real. I finished her arm and started on her stomach moving slowly up towards her breasts

"Basically." Mistress shrugged. "The spells can be short or long. Can take seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months or even years to complete and each spell has a different amount of mana it needs to be completed. The more mana that is needed, the longer the spell and the harder it is to control."

I nodded my head staying silent trying to remember everything that Mistress had told me. I stopped my hands just before touching her breasts and looked up at her in question. She smiled softly obviously amused and nodded. I placed my hands around the round mounds feeling their weight and softness as I rubbed them softly. She didn't make a noise nor did her eyes ever leave my own. I was amazed by the feel of them, though I was also feeling both awkward and aroused, so I quickly moved on from them without paying too much attention.

I slid my hands up over her chest to the back of her neck then over her shoulders, softly massaging the skin as firm as possible without hurting her. I was happy when she let out a breath and closed her eyes, tilting herself forward slightly so that I had better movement.

"You are very good with your hands, my pet." She said softly with a playful smile on her full lips.

"Thank you Mistress." I replied with a blush and continued to massage her shoulders. Slowly she opened her eyes again and stepped back before retaking her seat beside me rinsing the soap off her body.

"Stand up and turn around." She ordered and I obeyed turning my back to her. I felt the sponge on my back after a second so I closed my eyes to take in the feeling. "Tell me my pet." She whispered as her hands made their way to my bottom and squeezed them softly making my mouth go dry at the nice feeling of the action. "Have you ever slept with anyone? Have you been bedded?"

"Yes Mistress." I answer truthfully as the heat in my body nose-dived. I swallowed nervously, wondering if she'll think differently if I tell her everything. I decided to tell her the truth since she has the right to know. "Many times, but they were all by force. Even when they're drunk, men are hard to fight off when they're bigger than you."

Mistress' hands froze on the small of my back as a growl, that made the hairs on my body stand up, was emitted from behind me. "Disgusting pigs." Mistress hissed mostly to herself before her hands suddenly gripped my waist but it was soft and didn't make me feel captured.

I wasn't expecting her to tug me backwards, so I ended up falling back until I was sitting on her lap. I looked at her with shock, only to see how dangerous her gold eyes have become. "No one will ever touch you in such a way again, ever." She promised me and I smiled softly, believing her.

"Thank you Mistress." I thanked her happy that she cared about me. Though I was slightly uncomfortable sitting on her lap, I couldn't stand up because she had an arm wrapped around my waist keeping me still.

"So you've never felt pleasure without it being forced?" She asked eyes staring into my own.

"No Mistress, I haven't felt pleasure even when it was forced." I shook my head while keeping eye contact with her. "I have never felt comfortable with something so... large inside me."

"That, my pet, is sad." She sighed and my breath stopped. I felt her free hand start softly caressing my stomach under the water.
