So what is this place we are going to Kay asked as we approached the unassuming dark door in the alleyway.
I smiled at her and knocked three times waited about ten seconds then knocked just twice more.
The door opened, behind it was a tall woman with pale milky skin, white hair and white irises. She was dressed in a white suit rather than the typical black of door security.
“Robes?” She enquired.
We both nodded.
“Then come on in. Down the hall to your left.”
She shut the door behind us. The lighting was dim but we found our way to the changing rooms.
“Is this some sort of underground nudist swimming pool and spa?’ Kay asked looking around the changing rooms before settling on a bench and putting a bag beside her.
It wasn’t a bad guess. It did look like the changing rooms in a sports centre. Benches, tiled floors and showers in an adjacent room. The big difference was the lockers. There were no locks on them. Just a switch to say in use or empty. Crime was unthinkable in this hallowed place.
“Just put on your robes and come with me. Trust me this will be a once in a life time experience... well unless you choose to come back.”
I slipped out of my clothes and put on a plain white fluffy robe I had borrowed from the hotel we were staying at. By the time I was dressed Kay was nearly done too. Though I did get treated to a glimpse of her pale curves and soft blond body hair as she closed the robe.
She caught me checking her out and smiled a knowing smile. She had quite likely enjoyed a glimpse of my arse and what dangled on the other side as I changed. It was like that between us. We were honest about it even if it never led anywhere.
We headed out the changing rooms and into the main room. It was like a Roman baths. Terracotta tiles beneath our feet with some pretty good under floor heating making them very comfortable.
“Not a spa,” I said to Kay. Preempting her comment.
We turned a corner and we where into the main room. It was lit with soft lighting of different colours. It was large and full of people; most of whom were in robes or some state of undress.
“We’ve been to nudist places together before. I don’t get it. What is so ‘once in a life time’ about this place?” Kay asked.
“Hold on. Just stop a minute and look around. Tell me what you see.”
Kay did as I asked and I could see realisation and puzzlement on her face.
I stopped looking at her and followed my gaze around the room. The vast majority of people present weren’t just pale. They where lily from their hair to their eyes. They looked like statues of marble brought to life. There were some more normal coloured people in the room of every skin colour you could imagine but there was definitely something unnatural about the majority.
Moving amongst the crowds of living statues where some who surpassed the paleness and where heading into translucent. Their bodies refracting the soft lighting if they strayed too near.
“Are these people vampires?” Kay asked with a whisper, stepping close to me.
Again it wasn’t a bad assumption considering vampire fiction was something we both shared a fascination with along with body horror.
“Actually you are very close. It’s better than that. Come with me, it’s pretty early but let’s see if we can find someone active.” I took her hand and led her through the crowds where I could see a group of normals where gathered and watching something.
