Chapter 1 'Don't Scream'
Leah knelt down among the piles of books and sheets; it was at times like these she knew she shouldn't have insisted on carrying on that fourth A – level. Slowly she started to pack her bag, her mind turning at the realisation that the holidays had finished.
The figure was actually Count Vladislaus Dracula, Satan had returned him and set him again about his evil work; but with no Van – Helsing at the moment (he was on a mission in Egypt) what was he to do? For some reason Satan had forced him to do what he did best and kidnap someone and this is how Vladislaus ended up in his present situation. He knew this girl in front of him might scream and alert the house if he wasn't careful, so he crept up behind her and placed his hand over her mouth. She looked up at him over her shoulder, fear and confusion flooding through those beautiful piercing green eyes.
'Don't scream' he whispered in his smooth accent, she shook her head and he removed his hand. She stood up quickly and backed away from him in one beautiful elegant and clean movement. 'Don't worry' he said with a small chuckle 'I'm not here to hurt you'. Her eyes widened and her breathing rate increased as she fainted, he merely turned into his hell-beast form and flew out of the window with the beautiful creature in his talons. He left only a small note behindwhich saidthe following:
Gone with Dracula Don't Attempt to Follow!
It was only a two hour trip back to his castle and the clean night air made it a wonderful night for flying. The creature he had in his talons made it even better and the beautiful smell coming from her was intoxicating to him. They finally reached a balcony of the castle, well not just any window, the window to his room. As he landed he changed back into his human form and brushed some hair from his face. He walked into his room throwing a glance at thefour poster in the corner of it; however he thought better of putting her there. So he carried her down the corridor until he reached Verona's old room. He pulled back the covers and laid Leah down on the bed.
She looked so innocent just lying there with that peaceful look on her face. He covered her slight frame with the burgundy velvet and silk covers and stood there watching her at peace. He must have felt like that once but not now, he sighed and left the room silently.
