You've had a glimpse of my 4th Smartie vamp but I had an idea for a story to introduce her properly and only just had time to do all the photos.
Casper: *SNORE* *SNUFFLE* *GRUNT* *SNIFF SNIFF* *WHIMPER* *GROWL*
Erica: Kate, I thought I heard something.
Kate: What?
Erica: Casper was making a noise.
Kate: He always does. Probably dreaming.
Erica: He sounded... anxious.
Kate: I'll wake Valerie.
Kate: Valerie. Val! VALERIE!
Valerie: For goodness' sake! What?!
Kate: We heard something.
Valerie: Go back to sleep. It'll soon be dusk.
Erica: But... Casper was growling.
Valerie: Probably dreaming.
Casper in the distance: *GROWL* *WHIMPER* *WOOF?*
Valerie: All right, we'd better get up and have a look.
Heather: Sshh, doggy, just sit still. I'm only going to have a little nibble. You're so big you won't even notice.
Erica: Oh!
Kate: Yikes!
Valerie: STOP!
Casper: *WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF!* *GGGRRRRRRR!*
Valerie: What do you think you're doing? Attacking our family dog?
Kate: Nasty bloodsucker!
Erica: Wait, we're bloodsuckers.
Heather: I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Don't kill me, please! I was starving. He's so big, I didn't think he'd miss a mouthful or two.
Valerie: Who are you?
Heather: My name is Heather.
Erica (calling over her shoulder): I'm fetching some blood from our stash.
Erica: Here you go, Heather. Drink these. You'll soon feel better.
Heather: Thank you so much.
Heather: *GLUG GLUG* *GULP* *SLURP* *GLUG GLUG GLUG*
Kate: Feel better?
Heather: Yes, thank you. I'm sorry for... everything.
Valerie: What are you doing here? Don't you have a home?
Heather: I did, but I was driven out. I lived in an old house and I heard it was going to be bull-dozed. I couldn't find anywhere else. It's been a week since I had anything to eat.
Valerie: That's awful.
Heather: It's amazing to find others like me.
Kate: Val, can she stay? She seems cool.
Heather: May I? I promise not to touch your dog.
Valerie: It would be nice to have four of us. I'm Valerie.
Erica: And I'm Erica. She's Kate.
Kate: I can introduce myself, you know.
Erica: Shut up.
Valerie: Welcome, Heather. I hope you like your new home.
Heather: Thank you. I love it already.
