This is an offshoot of Bitsy's story involving her sister, Kaitlyn/Katya, the wife of Count Dracula (from the dinner scene) who disappeared ten years ago. I wrote this before I wrote the piece that mentioned her disappearance, and I'm posting it now as I ruminate over the next chapter (with that piece included). I'm placing it in the nonhuman category because right now I don't foresee as much BDSM elements to be included. Enjoy and let me know what you think.

Three years ago (June 20, 2009)
From the Desk of Kaitlyn Mason, Mayor of Gypsum, Texas
I've never done this before.... My sister is the writer, the organized, has-it-all-together one. My other sister is the blonde bombshell, the femme fatale. So how did I become the woman every man wants and the woman every woman wants to be. But I'm getting ahead of myself....
I am a ghost. I am a superstar. I am both. I am neither. I am a wife and mother. I'm on the run from the most evil witch of our...and every...generation. I'm Lady Dracula, whose name in the minds of the majority of the planet conjures up images of bats, black capes, and pointed teeth.
So, how did I become America's Sweetheart? That's not important...right now. What is important are the dreams I have each night after I close my eyes. Now, prior to my abrupt departure from my husband's arms, he and I enjoyed a very active sex life. No, we didn't fuck like bunnies while hanging from the rafters of Casa Dracula, but there were a few...love bites.
The dreams are different. In my dreams, he and I, incubus and succubus, enflame the other's passions to a frenzied point. The sheer carnality of the dreams frightens me. Even though they are not anything that we have ever attempted, I awake, wet and panting, for the next installment.
Which happened tonight. But, I'm talking in riddles, aren't I? It would be best, as my older sister Bitsy is known to say, to show you exactly what is within my soul.
Even now my fingers shake as I write this. My stomach flutters with a yearning dread of what the next dream will bring. Though thousands of miles separate me from my Christophe, I know that the dreams are a combination of his—and my—fantasies, too long unexpressed and repressed.
Tonight, as my lids slid over my eyes, heavy with slumberous intent, my dream eyes opened onto a lush and opulent chamber. Silks, cushions, and murals vied for hedonistic dominance. Every shade of the rainbow created a cacophony that blinded...and lulled...me into acquiescence. Couples...trios...quartets...formed shadows behind curtains evoking images of sensual splendor.
Before me, arms crossed imperiously over his chest, stood my pasha. Chris, my Christophe, lounged upright...upright in all the right places, some wicked part of my mind supplied. Proudly nude, with features a Greek sculptor would have risked the wrath of the gods to chisel from stone, my Chris curled his lips in a wry parody of a smile. "Welcome," he said, that smile so familiar, yet at the same time, foreign with an almost cruel edge of sensuality alighting on his soft lips.
"Thank you," I stuttered, unsure of my footing in this dream world. "Welcome to what?"
He smiled the mischievous grin that I had not seen...or kissed...in almost a decade. "Welcome to our orgy," he declared, spreading one arm in the direction of the undulating shadows.
