The following day, during another abusive encounter, the Mark appeared on a concealed part of Lilina’s body.
I deliberately pretended not to notice it and prolonged her conditioning for another three days, amused by the conflict between her remaining judgment and the supernatural influence imposed upon her.
On the third morning, a school holiday, Lilina came to the church as usual and threw herself into my arms.
“That means I can spend the whole day with you, Lilina.”
No one else had arrived. Taking advantage of our isolation, I prompted her to repeat the secret behavior I had taught her.
What followed is omitted. It was another calculated act of abuse intended to erase her boundaries and equate obedience with love.
When it ended, Lilina was disoriented but still desperate for my approval.
Her response showed how completely the charm and my conditioning had undermined her ability to recognize wrongdoing.
“Lilina loves you too. Hee-hee.”
The innocence that remained only strengthened my resolve to overwrite her humanity completely.
I had delayed long enough. It was time to transform her.
“Shall we go to my room?”
“Yes! Stay close to me all day, Big Sister!”
I took her eagerly offered hand and led her to the bedroom.
◇◇◇
Once inside the room, Lilina automatically followed the routine I had conditioned into her.
I arranged everything needed for the transformation and exposed the Mark, which I had falsely described as proof that we were lovers.
“Are you going to use the Mark again today?”
“You like it when I do, don’t you?”
“I like anything you do, Big Sister.”
I used the Mark’s supernatural influence to suppress Lilina’s judgment and resistance.
The details of that exploitation are omitted.
By the end, she was barely conscious and entirely under my control.
Satisfied that the preparations were complete, I leaned close and whispered in her ear.
“Lilina, would you like to share a bond with me even deeper than that of lovers?”
“Y-yes … I want to …”
“I am a Demi-Vamp. What I’m asking is whether you truly want to become one too. Are you certain?”
“Yes! I want to become the same as you, Big Sister!”
“Then I’ll begin.”
Keeping my right hand over the Mark, I sank my fangs into Lilina’s neck.
There was a sharp crunch.
My teeth pierced her skin, and blood welled from the wound.
Lilina flinched in pain.
Pain crossed her face for an instant, but the Mark’s influence quickly submerged it.
All that remained was for me to feed and pour my power into her.
I continued the transformation without dwelling on the taste of her blood.
Lilina’s awareness faded.
Overwhelmed by the combined effects of the bite and the Mark, she lost the ability to think clearly.
Her muscles slackened completely.
The faint color in her skin began to drain outward from her neck, and her body temperature fell.
Lilina’s familiar scent also intensified and changed as the transformation took hold.
The body in my arms began to alter.
Her features and proportions changed unnaturally as vampiric power remade her.
Because she was so small, there was not much blood for me to drink.
Once the pallor had spread across her entire body, Lilina lost consciousness and went limp with her eyes closed.
She remained that way for only a few minutes.
I waited while examining the transformation my power had caused. At last, a faint sound told me she was waking.
When Lilina opened her eyes, she seemed to notice something strange in her mouth and let her newly lengthened tongue hang out.
“It got longer …”
Smiling at her choice of the very first thing to inspect, I met her newly red eyes.
“Now Lilina can stay with Mistress forever.”
“Yes. You have become a Demi-Vamp like me, and now we are family. But if we are going to live together, we will need your parents’ permission.”
“Papa and Mama’s?”
“We will have to settle matters properly with your mama. Your papa is another question.”
Her father did not matter. He was going to die anyway.
The real issue was her mother.
“Do you love your mama, Lilina?”
“Yes, I do! I love her just as much as I love Mistress!”
Even under my charm, Lilina’s attachment to her mother remained remarkably strong.
I could hardly separate such a close parent and child. That would be cruel.
I initiated the same supernatural transfer I had used with Nunnally the previous day; its private details are omitted.
The newly transformed girl remained wholly enthralled as I poured magical power into her.
Lilina showed signs of strain.
The transfer was evidently uncomfortable.
But she could endure more.
I kept one hand on the Mark to suppress her distress and gave her enough power to enthrall her mother.
The transfer finally ended.
When I released her, Lilina swayed, dazed, from side to side.
“I have given you some of my power. Now you should be able to persuade your mama.”
The knowledge of how to use it should have been implanted along with the power, so no explanation was necessary.
As her daughter, Lilina could easily ask to sleep beside her mother and gain the sustained closeness the charm required. At the latest, her mother should be enthralled within three days.
“You love your mama as much as you love me, don’t you? Then you must share with her what I shared with you.”
“Yes … I love Mama. I’ll do what Big Sister did.”
“When it is finished and the same Mark appears on her, call for me.”
“Yes … I’ll call you.”
“Then I will turn your mama into a Demi-Vamp too. After that, all three of us can stay together forever.”
“Hee-hee. If Mama can be with us too, we’ll definitely be happy.”
What followed remained behind the bedroom door; I continued reinforcing Lilina’s dependence until just before nightfall.
Then I sent her home. From this point, events should unfold on their own.
I imagined a mother enthralled by her own daughter and a father forced to witness the consequences—a warm, heartwarming family scene, by my standards. In high spirits, I made my way toward the bedroom where the others were indulging themselves.
