Summary: Child-vampire Noelle’s relationship with her new Animal-to-Call involves living in his apartment, stealing his bed sheets, watching his cable, and trying her best to seduce him while drinking his blood. And so long as the local Shapeshifter gang doesn’t find out that he is harboring a master vampire in their town, she will probably continue doing so.

Story Notes:
This story doesn't contain more than references of our St. Louis gang, but I hope you check it out anyways. Also, here's your warning--the main character of this story is a vampire in the body of a fourteen year old and she has no qualms about going after guys way older than her, so if that squicks you, you might want to get out now because it will only get worse from here on. The rating is likely to go up as the story progresses.
1. Chapter One: Cabin Fever by NoirGrimoir [Reviews - 6] 
(6865 words)
Hey everyone! I know you're all waiting for Psychic or Psychotic? to be updated, but in the mean time, here is my latest creation! It's kind of different from my last fic, the characters are all older ones, the main couple isn't a slash one, it's a bit more serious and there aren't any canon characters, but I really think you all will still enjoy it. I already have the first four chapters typed up, so I'm hoping I can stay a bit ahead of things and get chapters out in a much more timely manner than I have in the past.
I would like to thank all of the Mods and Admins who read all of our stuff and make this place so we can all post our writting. I would also like to thank RekaStormborn, who has been exchanging beta work with me and been helping me get these chapters up to snuff while granting me her invaluable opinions on any questions I have about it. I hope you all enjoy chapter one!
Oh my god are you excited!? I'm so excited.
2. Chapter Two: Bedside Manner by NoirGrimoir [Reviews - 3] (10463 words)
Here's chapter two, once again, thank you to Reka Stormborn for being my beta, and go check out her fic The Ties That Bind if you haven't already. It's pretty awesome, and she updates about as frequently as I don't update which, as everyone knows, is pretty damn often. Also thank you readers for reading, and you admins and mods for keeping this site up and working.
So, here you go everyone, I hope you enjoy it!
3. Chapter Three: Irritating Problems, Interesting Proposals by NoirGrimoir [Reviews - 6] (11907 words)
Hello again everyone, I hope you are all enjoying ALP! I'd like to thank you all who have been reading and commenting, I greatly appreciate your support! Also to be thanked is RekaStormborn once again for betaing this big-ass chapter! And to the Moderators of this wonderful site for hosting all of our writing!
So, chapter three...well I have one more completed chapter in the vault here, and one that is half finished. I can't really say I'm keeping up with things how I wanted to, but that's just how it I guess. Hopefully, I'll have started on chapter six by the time I put four up here, and I'll still be ahead-ish.
But anyways, enjoy!
4. Chapter Four: How to Make a Long Night Longer by NoirGrimoir [Reviews - 4] (12983 words)
Hey everyone, here's chapter four! Let's all give a warm thanks to RekaStormborn for being my beta, and doing such a great job at it! thank you everyone on the Pomme De Sang Site and forum, for being so awesome. And thank you readers and reviewers for being so supportive. I hope you enjoy the chapter!
5. Chapter Five: Why Democracy is Overrated by NoirGrimoir [Reviews - 1] (13146 words)
I've had this chapter done a long time ago, but I had like none of the next done so I waited a bit to post it. the next chapter should come much sooner, I'm nearly finished. Everyone thank RekaStormborn for betaing for me and go ahead and check out her fic The Ties that Bind. It's pretty awesome. As always, read and enjoy!
6. Chapter Six: Inviting Trouble by NoirGrimoir [Reviews - 4] (16554 words)
Firstly, thanks to my beta, RekaStormborn who managed to beta this humongously long chapter while being swamped at work. Everyone go read Straight to the Deep End and The Ties that Bind, they are great. Also thanks to the mods who keep this site up for all ofus, and everyone else in the community who makes it great.
Also, sorry for taking a while on it. Most of it is from being +16,000 words. I promise the next chapter won't be this long...probably. I've got a decent start on the next chapter so I think it will be a little more timely. I think my general wait is like three weeks. But, you know, if you think about it most people who update once a week have chapters more like 3-4,000, so really I'm not writing that much slower than them. Thank you all for reading and being so patient, and for taking a chance on this story!
