________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Weeks after Allison's death, Anna's life fell into a lifeless routine. She would get up in the evening, get breakfast, have pleasant conversation with Dracula, went to bed, and then started all over again. She felt like she was a zombie, not really caring about life anymore, it just was not worth caring for. She really wished she could see Allison again.

Dracula lay in his coffin, looked to Anna, and thought about how lifeless she had become, it was as if her soul was already dead, and her body was just waiting catch up. He tried to be supportive, by holding back his lust for her, but it was hard for him. Though he had to admit that Allison's life and death brought them closer together, it also put a great deal of emotional strain on both of them. As he thought these troubling thoughts, he slowly fell asleep.

Anna woke up during the morning, which was very unusual for her, but she couldn't sleep. She pulled back the curtain that hung from a window in the room she and Dracula shared, and saw how the sun lightly fell upon the forest. Looking back at Dracula's coffin, she saw that he was still in a very deep slumber. Silently, she sneaked out of the room, winded through the familiar hallways, until she got to the front door, which she quietly stepped out of. It had been so long since she had been out of the castle, that she had almost forgot the feeling of the sun on her skin, and grass beneath her feet, she felt as if she was a child, just seeing the world for the first time. She missed the outside world so much, but she was also nervous of stepping further from the castle protected her, and made her feel safe, but she did. She wandered through the forest, finally becoming at ease for the first time since Allison's death.
Few Hours Later….
Anna wandered even farther into the forest, but soon felt the need to go back to the castle. After wandering some more, she soon realized that she was completely and utterly lost. Soon she found a clearing and decided that know would be the best time to rest, she sat on a rock that was near the center of the clearing. Suddenly there was a rustle behind her; she turned to see a homely looking man. "Claudiu…." She greeted, remembering the usually kind man, as his face contorted in surprise and horror. "Vampire…." He whispered in horror. "VAMPIRE!" He repeated loudly, now screaming in fear. "What! I am not a…." She started, but before she could complete her sentence, a group of villagers; stakes and torches raised rush into the clear. They start to approach with murderous looks on their faces. She tries to speak but all that escapes her lips, is a whimper, as they close in on her.
