Roman

Aneesa and I were in Transylvania, taking a tour of a historic castle with the rest of the WWE Superstars. As we were listening to the tour guide, I couldn't help but notice that Aneesa was drifting away from our group, heading towards a hallway that apparently was off-limits to visitors. Since Dean, Seth and I were at the back of the group, it was easy for me to leave their sides and follow her.

"Dude, what are you doing?" Seth asked me.

"Just checking to see where Aneesa went to." I replied, quietly slipping away from our group.

He nodded his head before turning back toward the tour guide while I discreetly followed Aneesa down the hallway. I noticed that she had disappeared into a room and I quickly made my way to the room's entrance. I stood in the doorway as she walked around the room.

"This was the room that Damon and I slept in. We were in the middle of a deep sleep when we heard screaming." She said out of the blue, as if she had sensed that I was there.

Instead of waiting for a response, she walked past me and back into the hallway, heading into another room a few feet away. I followed her into the next room.

"We rushed into the room and found a pile of ash in our twins' bed. He had stabbed our son with a holy water laced spike. And now he was holding our daughter by the hair, ready to stab her as well. Before we could do anything, he had killed her. Damon reached him first. He sank his fangs into the man's neck and drained him dry."

I watched as she sank onto the bed, tears forming in her eyes. I sat down next to her and wrapped my arms around her, trying to comfort her.

"Before we could grieve for our children, another man entered the room. Damon sacrificed himself so I could survive. I drained the man dry and watched helplessly as Damon turned to ash, but not before telling me that I was the last chance for our coven."

"I thought you said that it happened years ago. There's something you're not telling me, isn't there." I asked her, confusion etched on my face as I turned to look at her.

"It did happen years ago...2,000 years, to be exact. What I'm trying to say is that I'm a vampire. It's not just a gimmick in the ring, Roman. It's real! I have lived alone for the last 2,000 years, searching for the right man to become my new mate. And that man is you, Roman. Together, you and I can rebuild our coven. All it takes is for us to taste each other's blood and we will live...forever!" She said as she bared her fangs and her eyes turned blood red.

Before I could protest, she sank her fangs into my neck and began to drink. I could feel my mind being taken over as she drank. After a few seconds, she stopped, running her tongue over the holes to stop the bleeding. Then, she bit her wrist and placed it in front of my mouth.

"Do it! It just takes one drop and we can be together forever!" she commanded.

I wanted so desperately to resist the urge, but I had no choice but to taste her blood. I had to force myself to choke down the metallic tasting liquid.

I awoke with a start, my body drenched in sweat. I threw the sheets off and sat up, putting my head in my hands. I tried to calm myself down, but to no avail. I jumped out of bed and rushed to the bathroom, slamming the door shut behind me. I dropped to my knees and began to throw up violently into the toilet, trying to rid myself of that hellacious metallic taste that I swore was still in my mouth.

After I finished retching, I flushed the toilet and wiped my mouth with my hand. As I sat there, I had to remind myself that it was just a dream, albeit a very realistic one. I got up off the floor and turned on the sink, cupping my hands under the running water and splashing it on my face. I cupped my hands under the faucet once more and poured the water into my mouth. Then I grabbed a towel and dried my face off before opening the door and heading back to my hotel bed. I could see Seth laying on his side on the other bed. He watched with concern as I slid back under the sheets.

"Hey, man. You okay?" he asked, whispering to avoid waking Dean, who was sound asleep on the sofa bed.

"Yeah. I think so." I whispered back, laying on my side so I could face him.

"Just thought I'd ask. I could hear you muttering in your sleep and you were tossing and turning. Bad dream?" he inquired.

"More like a nightmare." I admitted, trying to fall asleep.

"Well, if you ever wanna talk about it, I'm here. Goodnight!" he said, flipping over to his other side before falling asleep.

I flipped onto my back and closed my eyes. As I laid there, I kept reliving those horrific moments from my nightmare. I knew that I was in for a long night and that Aneesa might have something to do with it.
