I don't own the Biker mice from Mars or Lucien Lacroix from Forever Knight, no matter how much I wish I did because it would still be on T.V. ! I don't make anymoney from this story that is a fabrication of my own imagination.

Danger in the Martian desert
By Crystal
january 1999

This is a bit of a story that I am working on so please be kind. To help you a bit, Krystal is ... Special. She's a witch and a vampire who cannot kill or she will truely die. She and Modo fell in love and are in an almost stable relationship. This happen on Mars after a fight that they barely survived. Unfortunatly, Krystal is hurt and has lost a lot of blood.

Modo held Krystal in his strong arms as a spasm shook her body. A normal person would have died but being already dead sure was a curse right now! Her eyes finally opened filled with the lust of the vampire.

Krystal: "Modo, leave me. Hurry! The need... the pain... so much... so hungry! Can't hold for long!"
Throttle: "Your bottles broke on that last jump. What can we do?"
A bloody tear fell from her eyes as she answered : "Nothing. Leave! Temptation... So great..."
Vinnie: "But then how...?"
Krystal looked at the horizon and whispered hoarsely: "Almost ... morning"
"NO! I WILL NOT LET YOU DIE!!!!" Modo screamed holding her tighter.
Charley: "Can't you take some from us?"
Krystal: "Too risky... Would kill you... Curse... kill me."
Throttle looked at Charley then his bros, searching for a solution. He could see that this would destroy his giant bro.
Throttle: "Charley, anything in that medical kit of yours we could use?"
Charley shook her head sadly: "Trashed with the rest."

Modo looked at the horizon his eye filled with tears. Slowly he bent down and kissed the one he now knew was his soul-mate, the one for whom he was born to be with. Without her, he would not survive. Taking his blade in a way he knew the others wouldn't see he brought it between him and her while moving her so that her head on his broad shoulder.

His voice only a shadow of his usual self Modo whispered "I trust you." and with a quick movement he opened his jugular.

They all screamed as blood started running down his shoulder. Krystal knew she had no choice for without her, he would bleed to death. He had chosen to risk his life and soul for her. With a prayer to all the Gods she knew she closed her lips on his troat.

Never before had he felt anything so sensual. It was like melting within her! Through the blood link he could see her memories and sense her, all of her. Never before had he felt so much love and tenderness. He knew he had made the right choice for this was the one he wanted forever, let it be in darkness or in the light.

Vinnie and Charley held each other in both fascination and fear as the seconds passed and light crawled to the desperate lovers. Would they ever love each other as much as this?

After the first choc Throttle took out his camping material. Modo would need time to recover from the blood lost while Krystal would need cover from the sun if... no, he refused to even imagine the possibility!

The taste of Modo was pure ambrosia to Krystal just Lacroix had warned her: "Remember child, the vampire doesn't feed on the blood alone but also on the emotions his very nature denies him. The more powerful the emotions, the sweeter the blood. Be careful, it is very addictive!" How true it was! To be filled with love as pure as the one Modo was offering her was pure delight. How tempting to just keep drinking! Reaching out with her senses, she felt his strength diminish dangerously. To keep drinking would mean to loose the very source of this love. With fear she pulled away wand looked at him. The cut was now completely healed and his hearth played it's steady music to her ears.

She senses the others fear so she turned to them, her eyes the icy blue they knew so well and mumbled: "Everything is going to be OK now. He's fine."

Throttle: "How about you babe?"
Krystal: "Safe" and with that she fell unconscious.

Night had fell when Krystal awoke again. She looked around and saw the tent empty. The vampire was still under control even if was a bit shaky and her body was now requesting a more... normal diet! She then heard Modo come in and place his gentle hand on her shoulder.

Modo: "Welcome back beautiful. How are you feeling?"
Krystal: "Like kicking myself. You?"
Modo: "Nothing a good meal and a shower won't take care of. And stop blaming yourself for what happened! I knew exactly what I was doing and I'd do it again in a heart beat. Beside, There's enough of Throttle who's playing that little game to last us a couple of days."
Krystal: "Throttle? Why on a blue moon would he be responsible? Like he could have done something!" She stopped when she heard the others laugh. Smiling she kissed Modo and moved out of the tent.
Vinnie: "Hey, look! Sleeping beauty finally showed up!"
Krystal: "I feel more like the bride of Frankenstein!"
Vinnie: "What? Modo finally proposed?"
Modo(Coming out of the tent behind Krystal): "No, was waiting for her to be conscious to do that."
Krystal turned around too fast making her fall in Modo's arm
Modo: "Falling for me already beautiful?"
Krystal: "Just for that pun handsome, you go and ask my old man for my hand!"
Modo: "Not a problem, as long as I can get the rest of you with it!" With that he kissed the inside of her wrist.
