Hey readers out there…Anastasia here. This is my first ever fan fiction so I'd really like to know what u people think about it ya? Please do read and review. Thanks!
Chapter 1"Kara! Come along now. We shall be late if you don not hurry up!" a shrill voice called out. Kara groaned. She picked up the train of her gown and descended the steps. "Perfect." Her mother commented. She replied by rolling her eyes. Kara stepped out in to the porch and boarded the awaiting carriage. Her mother followed closely behind.
During the trip to Lord Meyer's manor, her mother told her about a special guest. A young Count in search of a Bride. Her mother sounded rather hopeful.
Like 1would ever stand a chance. How can a 16 year old like me grab the attention of an obviously older man when the whole ballroom would be filled with older, more beautiful, if not, flirty, women.
They finally arrived at the manor. Both mother and daughter were led to the dining room where they graciously took their seats. Soon. All the guests arrived and Lord Meyers stood to give his customary opening speech. He introduced Count Rhys, his special guest. The man sitting at his right, the place of honour, stood up. Kara simply could not tear her eyes away from him. He had jet black hair and such dark eyes that you could drown in them. His tuxedo did nothing to hide what was underneath. It only seemed to enhance his muscular frame and gave a sense of mystery and wonderment, of what surprises lay beneath.
Kara snapped back into reality and found the Count staring at her. She gave a weak smile and he responded with a big winsome one. She felt her cheeks turning outrageously red as she turned back to her soup. Throughout the whole dinner, she could fell his eyes on her.
Why is her looking at me like that? He is starting to scare me.
The ball began soon after the final course was removed. Kara stood at a corner watching couples waltz happily as she sipped her red wine. "Kara, am I right?" said a silky voice. She turned and found herself face to face with Count Rhys. "Yes it is." She replied softly, giving a graceful curtsey.
"Would you do me the honour of dancing with me?"
"I…well…uhm…" she was at loss for words.
Count Rhys chuckled. He removed the glass of wine from her hands and handed it to a servant. He led her to the dance floor and started to waltz. Around them, couples moved off the dance floor until only 2 of them were left. Applause broke out as the song ended. Count Rhys brought her to the garden where they started talking about evertything they could think of.
Why is he looking at my neck? Does he like it? Oh I wish he would kiss it with those red lips of his.
Towards the end of the night, they returned to the ballroom. Lord Meyers stepped up onto the podium and said "As you all know, Count Rhys is here tonight to select a Bride. It seems that he has found one already." He gestured for Count Rhys to step up. He took over and began "All the ladies here have been lovely, but alas, I can only have one bride. And that lucky girl is Kara Slaski." He held out his hand to a rather shocked Kara who stepped forward and took his hand. As he held her firmly by the waist, he started once more. "I have a confession o make. I am not who you all think I am." Just then, a thunderstorm began. He continued "I am Count Dracula. King of Vampires and Kara shall be my new queen." The crowd gasp. As he spoke, his fangs grew and became visible to all. He then turned to Kara and said, " But only if you agree." Kara's mother screamed "Nooo my darling. Don't agree."
