Jane Vampire Vampire_Lamia@yahoo.co.uk I had come home after an year from College, and already everything was looking different. My mom had lost weight, Dad had got a new job and my sweet little kid sister Jane had become an obstinate, annoying creature. She had just turned 14. But one thing which hadn't changed was her love for soccer. She had been into that sport since she was 10, and as I'd heard had become quite good at it. She played for the varsity soccer team as quarterback. I had been home for just 3 days, when my parents left for Cardiff to visit ailing grandma. I was supposed to stay with Jane at home because of her soccer practice. Not even an hour had passed since our parents had left for airport that we started arguing. "I won't do the dishes." She said. We had been dividing the chores amongst each other. "Look here." I said. "Why don't we toss? The loser gets to do the dishes." "Fine." I took out a coin and tossed it in the air. "Heads." She said. The coin hit the ground and after spinning for a few seconds displayed the other side, i.e. 'tails'. "I won." I said. "This is just stupid. It depends on the luck. Why don't we wager on something in which person's own skill is involved." "Fine. I said. "What do you want us to do?" She thought for some time and said. "Lets armwrestle." "What? You must be joking. I am five years older than you." "Then you should be happy, odds are in your favour." "Fine. Lets do it." I knew that I was going to win. I mean even if you disregarded the age- difference, still I was favourite. I was 6 inches taller than her 5'4'', and she was 20 pounds lighter than my 165 pounds. But I became a touch nervous, when she removed her jacket and displayed a thick pair of arms with several green veins crisscrossing on her white satiny skin. We gripped our hands and I felt her unusually strong grip. I had no idea that my sister's palm was so hard and powerful. I was starting to feel a touch tentative by her muscle power. She counted and we started. I poured in with all my might, but to no effect. Her biceps ballooned into amazing mounds of muscle. Her biceps swelled displaying bulging muscles and a prominent vein appeared on top of that sensational bicep muscle. Her majestic arms were way thicker than mine, and that was embarrasing. "Amazed, dear brother." She teased. A few seconds later she almost effortlessly pinned my arm to the table. "Oh my God!" I exclaimed gasping. I was almost in tears after such humiliation. "I can't believe this." I put my hands on each side of my head grasping my hair lightly, and put my head down on the table. Surprisingly Jane put her hand, which was a comfortable hand though hardened by all the exercises she did, upon my hands and gently took them out of my hair. Then she got up and walked around the table, so that she was behind me, and gently patted my shoulders. I stood up, my eyes red with abjection. "Here...here dear bro." She said soothingly, then put her arms around my neck and gave me a kiss. "Its not such a big deal dear. Its just that I am stronger than you. The sooner you accept this fact, the better you'll feel. And if it makes you feel any better, then I should probably tell you that I am stronger than most of the guys." Then she drew closer and said in a low tone. "I'm even stronger than Dad." "Really sis?" I said. "I never thought that a girl could be that strong." She raised her right arm and making fist started curling them towards her head. A perfect, large oval peak popped up from beneath her skin. I was once again amazed by her huge, veiny biceps. "There's power here." She said as she coolly traced out the sinews with her left hand. "Wow Jane. You're really strong." "So I am dear brother." She said and smiling mischievously put her beefy arms across my body, placing her palms on my butt, lifted my body in the air, almost effortlessly. "Hey stop it." I yelled. "What're you doing?" "Lighten up darling." She said. "O I am sorry. You are already light." "Yeah fine. Nice joke. Now would you please put me down." "Ok!" She put me down. "Now get on with the dishes." Next day I woke up, not feeling too well. I felt very weak. I tried to get up, and no sooner had I placed my foot on the floor that I tripped over and fell down. "Whats happening?" Jane came running into my room. She pulled me up to my feet gently, and laid me down on the bed. "You're ill Sean." She said touching my forehead. "Wait. I'll call the doctor." The doctor came and prescribed a few medicines. I started feeling sleepy, and soon I was dozing. As my eyes opened, I saw Jane sitting on the chair next to my bed. "Here Sean. I've prepared some soup for you." She said and proceeded to help me sit up. I was amazed by her tenderness. A few days ago, she was obstinate as hell and now she was again that sweet caring sister which she was when she wasn't stronger than me.
