I opened my eyes and stared up. Two smartly dressed old ladies looked down on me. I sat up.
"Who are you? And where am I?" I looked around as the old ladies smiled. I was in a dark room. On a table were a bunch of black dead roses tied up in a red ribbon like the colour of blood. I gasped as I saw the large coffin lined with satin that was next my coffin! So I was DEAD?
"You better hurry up dear." One of the old ladies said and stretched out a hand towards me.
I took it and said, "Hurry for what."
The second oldie lady picked up the dead roses and handed them to me, "Your wedding dear!" She exclaimed.
I froze in shock, "But I'm dead."
"Yes, we know. You are the first bride of Dracula!" The old women said and began sorting out what seemed to be my wedding dress. It was a long, black, satin dress completes with a black a black lace veil, which they put over my face to cover it.
"This way dear." They led me slowly by the hand through a large oak door. A long staircase was before me.
"What now?" I asked as they let go of my hand and started to walk away.
They turned around, "Go up the stairs then when you come to the large door at the top go through. Then the rest is up to you!" I a blink of the eye they were gone.
I slowly made my way up the stairs, the train of my black wedding dress (that was more like a fancy funeral garment) trailing behind me.
When I came to the door I took a deep breathe-No! I wasn't breathing! Of course I was one of the un-dead now. I could feel know pain, no love, no joy and no sorrow. I put my hand on my breast and felt no heart beat. The human inside me was gone forever, so I pushed the door open.
A thousand burning eyes stared at me. In front of me a long red carpet stretched out and on either side of the carpet stood people in pews, like you get in a church. The only difference was this wasn't a church of God, but a church of the Devil. I searched for a familiar in the crowds and finally I saw one! Count Vladislaus Dracula. He stretched his hand out and beckoned me to come. I felt romantically drawn to him and so took a step forward. As I did an organ rang out and began to play an un-familiar ballad. I supposed it was some wedding and funeral march combined, I liked it!
I walked down the aisle towards the Count. He smiled I reached him and he lifted my veil. I stared into his dark eyes and the service began.
After I had got married to the Count and had officially become Countess Aleera Dracula there was a huge celebration held in the great hall of one of his palaces, I wasn't sure which one.
At this huge celebration there was dancing and lots of feasting. Although everything seemed very merry there was also something solemn about the whole affair; probably the fact that I had just died and as well as celebrating my marriage to Dracula, they were mourning my death.
"Enjoying yourself?" Vlad asked as him and I sat at the top of the long banqueting table.
"Yes. Where am I Vlad?" I said.
"You are in castle Dracula, this is your home now. Forever." He took my cold and in his and kissed it.
Suddenly the male vampire who sat next to Vlad stood up. "Count Dracula and your new bride, I have a small gift for you in celebration of your marriage. Bring him in!" Two creatures with small teeth dragged in a screaming mortal.
"What are those things?" I asked.
Vlad pointed to them, "They are called Dwergi, our servants."
The Dwergi dumped the man in the middle of the room and the many vampires hissed at him with hungry eyes.
Before the other vampires resisted the temptation to flock upon this man and suck the blood from his veins. Vlad jumped up onto the table.
"He is all yours, and of course the brides master." The vampire who had brought him said, then sat down.
Vlad strode towards him his long black cloak gently floating behind him.
"Please no! Have mercy, mercy!" The man screamed out. Vlad undid the rope that bound the man's wrists together.
"You are a mortal and we are vampires, we have no mercy!" As Vlad said this he grabbed the man's left arm and twisted it backwards. The man let out a bloodcurdling scream.
I stood up. I felt an unexpected urge to bite the man. I could here his heart beating fast in fear, I could sense the warm fresh blood pumping through his veins. I looked at Vlad and leaped over the table to join him.
"Your first bite my darling!" He laughed.
"How do I bite him?" I asked.
Vlad ejected his fangs and placed them on the man's neck.
Vlad took my hand in his, "You take the right hand side and I'll take the left. The poor mortal began to scream and sweat as we closed in on him.
I craved his blood and as I moved my lips to the man's neck I felt my fangs eject from the inside of my top gums. I hissed and bit down hard into his flesh. Warm blood trickled down my throat and I lapped it up. I stopped and stood up. The man lay dead on the floor. His face pale and eyes wide staring at the ceiling. Vlad wiped the blood from his own mouth and walked over tom. The other vampires flocked on the dead man.
"Oh Vlad." I sighed as he took me in his arms and stroked my face.
"You have blood on your chin." He said and I went to wipe it off, but Vlad stopped me.
"Let me." And he licked my chin.
"Vlad!" I laughed. I looked into Vlad's eyes they were trying to tell me something, I knew what he was trying to say. They were his bedroom eyes.
He whispered in my ear "Later…"
For the rest of the evening I felt comfortable with our pelvises together. I liked it, NO! I loved it!
At around 11 he took me to the upstairs of his castle. The upstairs of this one was like the one in Transylvania with all the elaborate decor. When he led me to a large door, which had carvings of the devil around it, I knew what room this was.
I smiled at Vlad and he smiled back, then led me into the room. The bed this time was larger and looked more expensive.
I stood facing Vlad, he held me in his arms and began to kiss my neck roughly.
"Oh Vlad, I love you, I do, I do, say you love me!" I ran my fingers through his long dark hair.
"Aleera! I love you even though I cannot feel it and my heart is hollow and cold!" He stopped and started to rip the clothes from my body. I started to undo his shirt and we both ended up on the large bed. He put his hands slowly onto my breasts and I kissed his mouth with passion.
"We shall have many a children!" He cried out as I pushed my pelvis into his.
"Yes anything you say master!" I laughed as he bit my lip and kissed my hair. It was going to be a long night of passion….
