Forever May Not Be Long Enough

Four: Thinking This Through

30 days.

30 days to make the decison.

Be with Dracula, the man who has appeared in my dreams for all these years.

Drinking the blood of inocents.

Together in darkness forever.

Or break free from his constant haunting.

Live my life the way I wanted it to.

One sounded amazing yet dangerous.

The other was boring and dull.

Amelia and Gloria were stunned when I told them a few days after having that warning.

Shocked and compeltly stunned, they pleaded over and over to reject his offer.

Though deep down they were trying to protect me, it was I who had to choose what I wanted.

Now sitting on my bed in my apartment, I stared at the window studying the different colours across the sky.

The sun was setting for a another warm day, nightfall was coming.

Flashes of what could be repeated itself in my torrtured mind.

I looked so different.

Stronger,

Beautiful,

Invisable.

My eyes changed into bloody red, watching my snack standing there without noticing me at all.

In a snap, I dashed towards my target and bit down draining their blood.

The person didn't scream or struggle, it seemed strange to me but I didn't think on it much.

"Athena..." He spoke in that longing voice of his.

Letting go of my meal, I hardly cared of the body falling to the floor as I was taken by the figure before me.

Never failing to leave me breathless, Dracula offered his hand which I took without a moment's pause.

He licked the blood from my mouth, shutting his eyes in pure bliss of how fresh it was.

I shuddered in esctacy of the erotic feeling.

Then he gathered me in his strong arms and flew up above the night's sky.

Shaking away the terrifying image, I couldn't deny the constant shivers running down my spine.

"Enough of this!" I snapped, standing up.

"I won't be haunted by some undead monster, I'm going to live my life!"

Stomping towards my wardobe, I grabbed a sparkly top and a pretty skirt to put on instead of my PJs.

Adding some make-up and jewellery, I looked at myself in the mirror before heading out of my apartment.

Jogging down the steps, I exited the building and walked along the quiet streets while putting on my I-Pod.

Dracula isn't going to stop me from everything, I need a break and no better than to go to a club and dance the night away.

Many had several people waiting to go inside, the line was so long that I had a feeling that some of them won't be able to enter.

But when I was just about to give up, a new club with a attention grabbing name sparked my intrest.

Two very tough man stood, sneers across their ugly faces, stared at me as I came towards them.

"How old are you?" One of them asked gruffly.

"23" I reply, instanly.

"Go on." Said the other, unhooking the red chain.

"Thanks." I said, with a smile.

Stepping inside, I could feel and hear the thundering music getting closer.

My eyes wandered the bright blue walls that had poster of old and new events happening here.

Then they lay on a another door which I pushed to reveal a packed dancefloor and a bar that was very busy with costumers.

Heading down the long and winding staircase, I hummed to the song the DJ was playing.

I walking towards the bar when I felt a pair of eyes watching me.

Igorning it, I carried on thinking only of getting a drink.

I waited patiently until it was my turn by asking for a white wine.

Watching the bar tender pour the contents, I was getting out my purse to give him the money.

"That will be three dollars please." He asked, putting the glass on the counter.

"Shoot, I'm short on ten cents!" I cursed under my breath.

I knew I should've gone to the bank!

"It's on me." Said a soft and silky voice behind me.

I saw his hand place the remaining change alongside my money.

"Thanks sir." The bar tender said, counting it correctly and putting it in the till.

"Well, arren't YOU going to say thanks?" He asked, with a chuckle.

Slowly turning around, I rose my head to gasp in pure horror.

It was Dracula!
