Authors note: ok so here is the second chapter like I said before I am wtill playing this all out in my head. So no flames please...this is for fun. And I think it is coming around...it's hard to get stuff out of my head the way I would like it to be. And a BIG thank you to my reviewers and also to my alert and favorite adders...you know who you are :)

also my word is down so i have to use my wordpad so sorry for unoticed mistakes. it's uber duber late and im tryin to write this...i have more chapters written on paper i just haven't typed them yet...im always to busy..but happy halloween :}

I ran as fast as I could, my instinct seemed to kick in. Dr. Draco seemed like a creeper...a major creeper...creeper in a good handsome way, but I felt suffocated being around him. I concentrated on my feet, and at what length they would carry me. FASTER! My mind screamed FASTER! I then noticed the familiar steps to my apartment. YES! I ran faster, I got to the door...what was so strange was that I felt like I was being followed, or stalked. You SEE! This is why I hate scary movies! I fumbled for my keys. I dropped them on the ground in a frenzy.

"Ok you are being ridiculous Ivy, now get the keys and open the damn door." I usually only cursed when upset or flustered, and this just happened to be one of those times. I slowly picked up the keys while inhaling deeply before letting the air escape my mouth again. I managed to successfully put the key into the lock, then I moved to the second lock, then the thired...ok ok, i know i am a little skittish but i live alone with a fat cat, I needed the reassurance. So after the fifth deadbolt I finally pulled open the door and after shutting it, laid against it exhaling softly, my breath almost feeling archaic to its once domain in my lungs.

"RANRE!" Dartanian jumped from the corner.

"AHH!" I screamed loudly. "Ah! YOU stupid, stupid cat!" I stated breathlessly with my hand to my chest. I got up off the ground...which I didn't remeber falling? But anyways, I moved through the kitchenand into my bedroom. I went straight to the bathroom to take another shower. I needed my hair wet when I went to work, it saved alot of time. I ran through my usual routine, feed the cat, straighten up the house, cook dinner, eat dinner and watch TV while doin so, feed the cat again. It was just a normal Tuesday night until.

DING DONG

"Who in the world could that be?" I looked down at my watch. Twenty minutes before I had to leave. I got up slowly placing my chicken alfredo on the coffee table. I went to the door and pressed up on my tippy toes to see through the peek hole. I let out a weary sigh.

"Just let me in Ivy." The male voice was all too familiar.

"Ben, I thought we agreed to go our separate ways." He chuckled.

"No...you left me remeber? Rather abruptly if I do say so myself." He winked through the small glass circle which made my heart throb. With reluctance I finally opened the door.

"What do you want?" I stated bluntly.

"Well hello stranger, long time no see?" He looked me up and down...causing me to tingle all over.

"Well Ben, if you cheat on someone, that usually means no see." I tried to put on my best game face. OH how I tried. And it would have worked to if he didn't look so sorry, so sincere.

"Hey don't be like that...you let me in didn't you? That has to count for something." HE moved in closer, his nose only inches away from my forehead. I went closer out of habit. And when he took me in his arms, something clicked. NO! I couldn't take him back, I wouldn't. But this felt so good...to be held.

"No." I stated boldly, putting space between us.

"Ivy don't, I can't stand this." He caught my hand and pulled me close to him, he pulled my chin up.

"I Love You. You know I do. I'm in love with you. I never meant to make a mistake, to ruin anything between us. Baby..it's me and you remeber? Us against the world, me holding your hand the whole way. I miss you. I miss us." I closed my eyes before processing the words I wanted to believe, I almost or I just might believe. His hands carved thier way up my sides and held my face. "I love you, more than anything you could ever imagine. It's never going to change...I will always love you." Tears escaped my eyes. Sobs threatened to break through my throat.

"You should have thought about that before you decided to cheat...and whats worse is you didn't tell me, you never planned to. I caught you." I opened my eyes.

"You see, those eyes those beautiful eyes. Ivy we are meant to be together. And I know things will work out, I don't like this relationship, its never been the same like when I had you." He kissed me. Man did he kiss. Slow and passionate, just the way I like them. My body melted like putty into his. I wanted it to work...it could work. Wait a second...what did he say...I don't like this relationship. I stopped my lips in mid routine and pushed his chest which did little if not nothing.

"What did you just say?" I whispered softly, holding on to any inch of it just me hearing it the wrong way however i knew good and well what the answer would be.

"That I love you."

"NO before that, are you still in a relationship with her?"

"Well Ivy, it's complicated."

"NO!" I yelled tears turning into anger. "Damn it Ben are you?"

"Yes." What happened next was the outcome of full rage. A hard loud slap was heard echoing though my apartment, the sting left on my hand , traces left on his face.

"Get Out." I spat the words through clenched teeth "And don't you EVER come near me agian." He didn't say a word but slowly walked out the door, he turned as if to say something but I didn't wait to hear it, I just slammed those unspoken words back into his face as I shut the door.

Dartanian hissed at the door, I looked down at him.

"I couldn't agree with you more." Three years...three years of my life I wasted on the PIG. I slowly sank to the floor, I closed my eyes and placed my fingers over my lids. Tears started pouring like a long, forgotten friend. Dartanian climbed into my lap and rubbed agianst my neck and chest. This was going to be a rough night.

As soon as the man "Ben" had left, the Count seemed to lose interest. He stood across the street looking up into the 16th story window, he could see every crack, every mouse, and every crum in the hallway from where he stood. His thoughts got the best of him as he wrestled with the idea of Ivy herself. The last remaining blood line to his father's bastard child that no one knew about. He thought he had gotten the job done long ago, he thought that he had killed the evidence...but now it seems his mistake has lasted generations upon generations. What odd convention of occurrence does their meeting posses? Why does the girl plague him now...her very breath of living air drives him to his once planned agenda to kill her...but then agian could this be used to his advantage? His thoughts brushed away as he singled out her heart beat...poor Ivy. She had no idea of the bad luck she had just been introduced. The Count turned the corner headed back to the sleek black vehicle that silently hummed there on the side of the street. He opened the passenger door and got in.

"Adolph, please take us to something more appealing." The Count stated meanacingly.

"Of course master." The blonde haired man servant eased on the gas.

"Master?No luck?" Alexia's conniving voice was heard in the background, her prowling figure seated in the back seat, her form of sitting revealing her long beautiful silk legs in a seductive manner. She was the Count's Mistress, although she really didn't count as one since his brides were dead. There was another figure that sat quietly in the back seat, smaller than Dracula and Adolph and possibly Lexi. He looked to be around the age of a teenager. He was a member of the Dragon Seal brought along by Dracula himself. THe Dragon Seal was basically an order court full of vampires, this acquaintance being the youngest. Dracula of course, was the leader. He had created them; he was the translator of the ultimate master, his father...Lucifer. He stated words when asked to speak otherwise he stayed silent. However Lexi spoke whenever she felt like it, she was the boss, everyone did as Lexi said except for any member of the court, and Adolph who is Dracula's personal guard. Though Dracula didn't need one, he'd rather rather Adolph be his eyes and ears when he didn't have the time or didn't feel like it. So now after Lexi spoke, everyone ignored her and there wasn't a single thing she could do about it, she was inferior. As far as Adolph went, he was the biggest vampire in the business, the best at what he did, kill and protect. And as far as Lexi was concerned in his eyes, she was none of his concern. They eventually pulled up to what seemed to be a very nice, expensive entertainment dinner club. All the rich dressed up and their women were being excorted inside left and right. Adolph pulled up and got out he made his way over to opening the car door for Dracula, then took the keys to the young man.

"When I receive thse keys back with my parked car, their better not be a scratch on it." Adolph's thick deep voice seemed to thunder into the boys senses.

"uuuh...of course sir, private parking?" Adolph let his vampire features take over as he nodded then smirked. The boy backed up and gave the keys to another man, mumbling for him to park the car instead. Dracula steeped out catching almost every eye as he straightenend out his coat. Mostly the women who were after the money...they eyed his car, everything. But as soon as Lexi stepped form the car. every single head dropped. Lexi was a very beautiufl woman. No woman could stand against her, and the way she carried herself she definitely knew it. She smirked as she grabbed the counts arm, he would have already walked in and left her if it wasn't ok for her to approach him. Adolph stayed outsed. He would be there when needed.

"A private booth please?" Dracula asked the woman with the menus, she seemed to just stare for what seemed three to four minutes until she snapped out of it. She then grabbed two menus and began to walk them to their seat. This is where they would find their dinner for the night, little did the waiter know, she could possibly be on the menu. She took them to the darkest section of the upper level they were close to the open bar. They all sat except for Lexi she made her way over to a man that looked to be around his thirtys. Handsome. Alone. Sitting at the bar.

"Master, what are our plans for the southern borders." Jasper, the young boy went striaght into work.

"Young Jasper, we make brother and sister allies, teach them our ways, the rules, prepare them for what is to come." Dracula watched Lexi suddenly, the art of seduction was perfected as she touched his shoulder, laughed revealing her chest...this made Dracula hungry for her as well. It had been awhile since he had bed her. "Then when your done you can come home and report all of our rankings including Europe. Now, go feed." Dracula now noticed that Lexi was gone with the man from the bar. He scanned the area, noticing the women lined within the rooms dressed in their best. But none of them could compete with the one that would more than willingly please him tonight. His smirk returned when he saw her coming from the restroom checking her face and pink lipstick in her compact mirror. Well done Lexi. Lexi walked over addressing Jasper first.

"Have you not fed yet young one?" She smiled sweetly. He only winked at her.

"Waiting on a package deal honey."

Dracula eyed Lexi up and down, from head to toe. Lexi didn't miss this, she never missed when her "master" was giving her any type of attention.

"Like what you see?" She bent over to kiss him on the cheek giving a full open view of her swelling breast. Her body was perfect. Thats why Dracula had chosen her. Her beauty was irreplaceable. His hand slid up her thigh, slowly and smotthly under the high slit in her dress. She purred in delight next to his ear.

"You are to be in my bed chambers when I return."

"Of course master." She replied more than obidently. It had been a week since he had bed her. She grew restless without his touch. She sat seductively on his lap where his hands held her firm by her hips. Oh how she adored his touch. Dracula loved the smell of her arousal.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, we will now move to our second act. Miss Ivy Violet." The club roared with a round of applause and whistles. Dracula's attention moved to the stage, he moved Lexi off of his lap and her presence long forgotten and studied the curtain as it moved back and the lights all darkened. The music seemed to float across the room, filling everyone's ears. A spot light hit the stage, soft claps were heard at the sight of her even though it was just the back of her. The image was simply stunning. She wore a long black dress that clung to the floor. The back seemed to swoop so low it stopped right above her butt in a classy manner. It hugged her lucious curves, complimenting her every inch. Its edges contrasted the fabric by being lined with diamonds the sparkled even as she stood still. She had one long sleve that went down her left arm. The rest was strapless. Her hair was pulled down her back in long lucious black curls, but as she turned one side of her hair was smoothed over and pinned.

"At last..." The crowd started clapping again as her voic nailed everyone's senses. The front of her dress had a slit down the right leg that started just above the knee. It all gathered to one side..."My love has come along..."

Dracula watched her every move, she was simple exsquiste. Her full lips a lucious deep crimson red. Her green eyes so beautiful, so rare and unique.

"My lonely days are over, and life is like a song." Lexi was steaming as she watched her master glued on the girl below. She turned her attention to the human girl, and swallowed her pride with disgust. What was so great about a mortal? "Oh yeeah yeah at last, the skies above are turning blue."

"Looks like I found my snack." Jasper should have studied his master before he spoke, Dracula lengthed his veins and hissed.

"She is mine." He seethed as he looked back at the stage. " She is not to be touched or you will answer to me." Jasper droped his head in shame.

"Yes master."

"My heart was wrapped up in clovers, the night I looked at you. I found a dream that I could speak to, A dream that I can call my own, I found a thrill to press my check to, A thrill that I have never known." She moved slowly across the stage to the grand piano. "Oh yeah, you smile...you smile...ohhhh and then the spell was cast, And here we are in heaven, for you are mine..." her voice was exsplosive."Attt...laast." She softened as she sang her last notes. The crowd roared as they stood to their feet and applaueded as she bowed her head in acceptance. She was a woman. She was classy.

"Thank you. Thank you." The curtain fell and the crowd cheered on as Dracula rose to his feet. A rare treasure indeed. Looks like he had use of her after all, his own personal use...his toy she would be. However the count had no idea of the woman he had just decided to be his "toy" for the time being. That was until he made better use for her.

I walked out of the dressing room pulling the pins out of my hair. Tonight was getting better. Surely, surely it couldn't get any worse that earlier. I reached over and grabbed my bag. When I turned the corner of the exit sign I saw him...Ben! What part of NEVER COME NEAR ME AGAIN did he not hear. I quickly made move to turn around until I ran into something rather hard...and cold. It took me a second to realize...it was someone.

"Miss Violet?" I knew that voice...it was familar...ah the same one that echoed through my feet in class today. I slowly looke up.

"What are you doing here?" I asked breathlessly.

"Excuse me, but last time I checked this was a public resturant." He stated sarcastically.

"Oh..oh I'm sorry, I meant..." Well I look like an idoit, this just keeps looking better and better. "Ummm Draco right?"

"Yes..." He stepped close, man he was gorgeous.

"Right well I'm really sorry about this." Man was I going to regret what I was about to do. I took both my hands and placed them on his shirt (black, half unbuttoned) clasping to the front of his shirt. Man oh man his chest looked mouth watering. I threw myself against the wall, dragging him with me. Then the most peculiar thing happened. Our lips crashed. At first my eyes were on Ben, my lips dead against his...hopefully Ben would over look me. But then...a cold hand cupped my cheek, the lips with mine began to move. They were sooo sweet, so soft as they grew dominant over mine, demanding my attention...which I gladly gave. His hand and grasped my him and a moan escaped my throat...it felt so good...so right. HIs tongue took hold of my senses, my ,stomach rolled as I lost all reasoning, all sanity, his hands smoothed their way over my butt, over my thigh and WHOAAAA!

"What are you doing!" I yelled as I pushed him away, though he didn't move an inch.

"Pardon me, you kissed me my dear." His voice was soft as silk. I felt like a moth in the light, transfixed on his lips, oh how I wanted to taste them agian, to feel those hands...whoa what IS wrong with me?

"Would you like to try agian?" His voice made me shive as he whispered in my ear, kissing down my jaw bone. It couldn't hurt to try again? Would it? I let my fingers lift up and graze over the features of his face...my eyes closed out of instinct, then I stopped. Now I knew soemthing was wrong, this was a complete stranger.

"Stop," Tears came to my eyes...memories that were forgotten now surfaced to reveal their ugly past, never have I been haunted until I kissed him.

POV CHANGE

Dracula stopped, he couldn't understand he reaction, he didn't understand what happened. And what he didn't even formulate was why he stopped, instead of pushing through her mind when it was weak and getting what he wanted. He coudln't believe the look in those eyes, never in all his undead years had he ever seen a look like that in anyones eyes. The Count rested his thoughts immediately, NO this girl, this intoxicating girl was his, and he would have her. With that said he left. Left her alone to her thoughts, knowing what little time she had left.

Pov change dearies ;0

I didn't remember him leaving, it was almost like he disappeared. My whole body was numb, I din't want to think about it, I wanted it to go away. As I made my way home, I couldn't help but feeling like I was being stalked. I don't know how I got to my apartment, I never even remembered walking home...the air was cool against my skin but I really didn't feel it. I walked through the door to my apartment.

"What are you doing here? How did you get in here!" And then he came for me...

I woke up harshly. I felt like a huge ax was splitting my head in two. I sat still and slow on the enormusiously large four post bed. How in the world did I get in here? I started to look at my surroundings. The room was very spacious. The walls a dark ivory purple. The marble stone fire place enormous to the left of the room with a lounging couch. To the right of the room, was HUGE bay windows. The window in the very center looked like a door. I hestantily got up and walked over to their direction. This room was beautiful as I took in is paintings on the ceilings, the four beatifully carved posted bed I had just woken up on. The stain glassed windows I was now being pulled to. It was dark out, so I slowly put my hand around the silver knob and walked out on what seemed a balcony. I took in the garden below; it was beautiufl, even though I couldn't really see it. I looked up at the stars; the whole sky was lit with them, all of them like little flames burning in the dark. Suddenly the atmosphere was heavy; I could feel a sudden shift in the air, not for the best either.

"Breath taking isn't it?" An icy voice came through right beside my left ear. I grabbed the railing quickly in response instead of screaming in fright like I wanted to. I could feel his icy breath on my neck, making my hairs stand on end. My skin was crawling, my heart tattooing its beat into the inside of my chest. This is all just a big huge nightmare, that's what it is, it will all just disappear, and I'll wake up soon.

"Where am I?"

"Miss Violet, you are very good at masking your emotions, but your heart beat betrays you my dear." I turned to look at him, but as I started to speak he wasn't there. "But of course its probably just all overwhelming." I gasped inwardly as he unaturaly had changed postions so fast as he now leaned against the railing. I cleared my throat.

"Dr. Draco I demand to know where I am at, and YOU...you sir are going to tell me." I pointed my finger right into his handsome, gorgeous face. He looked down into my finger then straight into my eyes with his amazingly, pure, electrifying blue. AND THEN HE SMIRKED! "AHHH..." I almost punched him square in the face...that was until he grabbed my fist.

"Tisk...tisk...tisk...temper, temper Miss Violet." He clicked his tongue and pulled me closer. Temper, TEMPER! AH! I was about to lose it. I tried pushing him back and brake loose of his hold. But his grip was like iron around my wrist

"Let GO OF ME!" He took his hand and grabbed my chin, pulling it towards him. His eyes secanned over me like I was some type of item he was inspecting, deciding on his offer to buy me.

"You would do well to obey me, Miss Violet. That would make it less trouble for you."

"HAH! There is one of the many things you don't know about me...Draco." I spat his name as I hit his hand away. "I do not take to authoritive figures lightly. Where ever there is a rule I don't agree with, it is always broken. I take orders of obedience from no one, especially the likes of you." I breathed the words heavyly...my anger getting hotter by the minute. He seemed to study me for a moment.

"Dinner will be served within the next hour." He began to walk away; I turned on my heel after him.

"What do you mean dinner? I'm not eating with you I'm going home."

"I'm afraid that is not possible." His voice raised easily over mine as it echoed through the room. "You see you are mine now. You have no life in the your world. No home no family. We erased your identity. You see back where you are from, people thought it was a murder, your home was ripped apart." I stopped in my tracks as the memory came flooding back to me. I remember me running through the apartment and crashing, throwing everything till he got me...then i went blank. "you strugled at first, but to make you come quietly I oped to silence you." I remeber him grabbing me from behind and a sharp pain received to the side of my face. I touched the side of my face, it was very sore. Theis man kidnapped me...no one is going to look for me either, because as of now and forever I am dead. Tears came to my eyes. This man has taken my life from me with in a matter of minutes. I turned and looked at the long glass mirror beside me. There was a cut on my cheek...that,... that... that bastard knocked me out! "My name is Count Vldious Dragula...otherwise known as Count Dracula...welcome to my castle...don't be late for dinner." And he left me alone. I took a near by vase with roses and threw it at the door and screamed. The glass shattered everywhere. I ststarted picking up random items and hurling them at the walls.

MeanWHILE outside her door

"Is she alright?" Adolph winced as he heard item after item hit the wall the door and crash. He heard her screams of anger, before he strated to chuckle. He laugh was deep and dark and shook violently in his chest.

"You men need to be more understanding...she is a young woman whose life has been stripped from her." The small tiny figure of a woman servant spoke up to his dark brute of a size. Just then a huge shatter was heard. Adolph let out a low whistle.

"Looks like he has got his hands full." Adolph shook his head as the screams continued.

"ANGELICA I NEED YOU! WHAT IS THAT RACKET?" Lexi's voice could be heard down the hall. The small maid rolled her eyes and started scurrying towards the door. Adolph made his way to follow after his master's trail.
