Liesel and Claudia strolled out of the zoo's exit. "Thanks for the late-night snack, Claudie," said Liesel. "You don't think I overfed from that tiger, do you?"
"Nah," said Claudia. "He'll be a bit woozy for a couple of hours, and then he'll be back to his usual self."
Liesel smiled. "You're right. His vibrations seemed pretty strong. Still wanna see if we can catch a movie?"
Claudia shrugged. "We could, but I sorta wanna see how Selena's pack is doing."
Liesel grinned at her soulmate. "So do I. It'll be fun to see how the hair chews turned out. I bet their bodies look simply groovy!"
"I don't think people say 'groovy' anymore, Lee-Lee," said Claudia.
"So what?" Liesel laughed. "We're timeless vampires."
Claudia chuckled. "Heh, point. C'mon, let's head back."
Once Liesel and Claudia arrived back at Karnstein Manor, they met Tatiana and Abbie chatting in the foyer. Both the vampire and the werehyena were completely nude. Abbie's hirsute body was in its human form.
"Looks like you've had fun!" laughed Claudia.
"We sure did!" said Tatiana. "You two've missed a ton of stuff! The sleepover's basically over. After the post-hair-growth orgy, most of the pack turned in. Selena left to recharge the Ring of Embraces, and Zoey and Ashlee are still busy fucking Dracona and each other, but most of the pack's in their sleeping bags."
"Me, I was too excited to sleep," said Abbie, "so I've just been hanging out with Tats here."
Liesel approached Abbie and ran her pale fingers over the werehyena's muscular, hairy arms. She caught some of Abbie's pale golden arm hairs between her finger and thumb, twirling them into a spiral. "Far out! Now you look like a wild creature of the forest even as a human. I can tell you love it from your aura. It's shining like the Sun."
"Yeah, it's pretty great," Abbie grinned. "It makes me feel really virile and sexy."
"Does the word virile apply when you don't have a penis in this form?" asked Claudia.
"I still have it in spirit," Abbie winked.
"Oh, I just remembered something!" said Tatiana. "We've got a new sister, girls. One of the cheerleaders from our school joined the clan while you were out. Remember Jessica Tang? Well, she's Persephone von Karnstein now!"
"We know, Tats," Liesel smiled sagely. "We bumped into her at Inferno. It was actually Claudia who realized that Jess vibed with our clan and convinced her to join."
"What can I say?" Claudia smirked. "I know a natural vampire when I see one." The punky vampire walked up to Abbie and stroked the buff werehyena's overgrown bush and treasure trail. "Sweet hair, Abbie. So, you couldn't sleep, huh? How about you come up to Liesel's room? I'm sure the two of us could tire you out."
Abbie smiled slyly. "I think I'd like that, Claudia. By all means, lead the way."
