Chapter 9
Lovers and Fighters

The next day Mina had a tough time containing her happiness; since she was still in mourning of Maggie's death. But knowing that her 'husband' will be coming to her tonight and the professor didn't know of Vlad being the creature was hard to the feelings inside her. "I can't wait for Vlad to come, I must be prepared for our 'union' tonight," she thought as she tried to pay attention to Jack and the professor's conversation while having tea with the Evans and the others in the conservatory.

"So now what of Renfield?" asks Mr. Evans as he wiped the crumbs of the cucumber sandwich off of his mouth. "Still no sign of the poor chap, and he hasn't been seen as of late," Jack answered before taking a sip of his tea. "Renfield's rhyme, I can't help but worry that monster that had killed Maggie is not finished with us yet," said Jonathan looking a bit disappointed about something. "True enough about that Jonathan, the vampire that bitten and destroyed our Maggie has yet to be revealed to us," replied Van Helsing after he drank a bit of his tea.

"Renfield did mention who his master, the vampire, was really after. But I doubt it is Caroline or Maggie he was after," agrees Jack. "Are you saying this creature might be after Mina?" says Mr. Evens nearly choking on his tea as he heard the suggestion. "I can't say for sure until it appears again, but it is a likely guess as good as any," answers Jack making sure the women didn't hear his reply. "I agree with Jack, though I don't like the idea, but we should wait till he strikes again," said Van Helsing as the maid came in and started cleaning up the tea and trays. "I'll keep an eye on Mina tonight," suggests Jonathan. "Yes Jonathan, but keep a distance from her room if you please," said Van Helsing. "You gave her a reason not to trust you anywhere near her, and also the Count will most likely kill you on sight if he sees you anywhere near her since she is his fiancé now," he said to Jonathan.

Jonathan blushed as he remembered his argument he had with Mina which resulted him getting punched by the Count. "I understand Professor," he said sounding embarrassed. "Good, cause if Mina even suspects that she was the one the vampire was after all along she might blame herself for Maggie being dead now," Van Helsing replied.

"Yes, and that is the last thing she needs right now," agrees Jack looking at Mina chatting with Caroline and Mrs. Evans. "Should we inform the Count of this?" he asked Van Helsing. "No, if we were to inform him of a vampire being after Mina he will take her away and the vampire might follow them," answered the professor. "I see," says Jack. "And besides we need her for bait to the monster that stole my daughter," says Mr. Evans.

"I already lost one daughter, I don't want to lose my adopted daughter to the fiend!" replied Mr. Evans saying it as if it was a promise he will make sure he will keep. "Calm down Mr. Evans, the last thing we need at the moment is you making the women worry," says Jonathan. "I know, I know," says Mr. Evans putting a lid on his temper.

"Let's only hope that our vampire will come to visit Mina tonight," said Van Helsing. "Because I don't know what else we could do, and I hate using Mina as a lamb to lure the hungry wolf," he sighed looking at the innocent that they were using to trap a monster.

Mina was brushing her hair as she waited for Vlad to come and finally make her his wife. She had just put down her brush when there was a knock at her door. "Come in," she said turning to her bed room door.

Caroline came in the room and shut the door behind her. "I thought I should check up on you before going to bed," she said. "After what happened to Maggie I can understand," replied Mina. Caroline smiled at that statement. "Yes, we don't know if whatever got to Maggie might get to us as well," Caroline said as she moved to sit by Mina.

"I can hardly believe that we both are engaged to be married and Maggie is dead," she sighed sadly. "Yes," agreed Mina. "Engaged to handsome men, both charming and clever as well as madly in love with us," Mina said trying to cheer Caroline up a bit. Caroline laughed at that. "True, but you have a Count while I have a doctor and owner of an insane asylum," she replied.

Mina giggled. "We always can't be that lucky," she said to Caroline. "True, very true," said Caroline getting up to leave. "Well good night Mina," she said as she headed to the door. "I'll talk to you tomorrow," Mina replied. "See you till then," Caroline said as she opened the door. "Good night Caroline," Mina said as Caroline left the room and shut the door. Mina then looked at herself in the mirror and started to try and make herself pretty.

A howl from a wolf is heard in the night. Mina knew that Vlad was close and quickly sat at the front of her bed facing the glass doors waiting for her beloved to come inside. She saw a shadow of a wolf at her door…and glowing red eyes…

Vlad changed from his wolf form to his human one as soon as he was in reach of Mina's bed room glass doors. He looked upon her; his breath was nearly knocked out of him at the sight of her there…looking more beautiful than he remembered from the last time he had gazed upon her. Vlad opened the doors to her room walking in wearing his regular clothes, except his vest, suit jacket. His white shirt split open from the top, the sight of him nearly made Mina's heart pound out of her chest. "You will become blood of my blood, flesh of my flesh…Cross land or sea to do my bidding…" he said to her as he walked up to where she was sitting. He took both of her hands and pulled her gently up from the bed moving a few inches away from it. Vlad removed his cape from his shoulders as Mina removed her robe. As soon as their robes were off they kissed each other…revealing how much they missed each other and loved one another.

Vlad then picked Mina up and carried her to her bed. Mina still kissed him as he laid her done on the queen sized bed. Soon she was going to be his wife fully…

"You will be my queen…my wife…my love…" Vlad whispered as he started kissing her jaw to her neck. He then moved away and slipped his shirt off, revealing a sexy six pack abs and mouthwatering looking chest. Mina's eyes widened at the sight of him above her, looking like a panther ready to devourer her. He started to lift her night gown up…revealing her body inch by inch. Mina lightly blushed as she felt Vlad's rough hands lightly brush past her legs as he lifted her night gown skirt up, making her body shiver not only from his cold touch but from her desire that suddenly started to light up inside her…

Vlad stopped her skirt to her waist looking at her with a fire in his eyes that made Mina want to be lost in those eyes as well as want Vlad more…. "I don't want to take you as a monster…" he whispered to her, his voice sounding like a caress to her. He lightly brushed his fingers against her cheek.

"I want to take you as a man…" Vlad said to her before kissing her again. Mina cupped his face in her hands holding his head closer to hers. "Doesn't matter if you are a man or a monster Vlad…." whispered back at him. "You are still you…" she said to him moving her lower body closer to his. Vlad lightly moaned to her body being so close to his and moving against him.

"Mina…" he lightly growled. "You are really an angel…" he whispered as he then lifted the rest of her night gown up and over her head throwing it to where her robe was. Vlad then moved back to look at her; if he wasn't already undead the sight of her beautiful body would have took his breath away. "An angel sent to save me from my hell…" he whispered as he leaned forward and took one of her breasts in his mouth…his fangs lightly teasing her skin as he did. Mina lightly shivered from the feel of his fangs on her skin, lightly gasped at the strange pleasure she received from Vlad's tongue on her skin. She moaned as he suckled her breast, giving her other breast the same attention while his cold hand moved down her body to the one place of Mina's body that was hot and aching for attention…Mina gasped of surprise as Vlad inserted a finger inside her. "Vlad…" she moaned as she received pleasure from his finger in her heat… Vlad smirked at her reaction, enjoying the sound of her cries of pleasure.

"Yes, my love?" he asked as he inserted another finger in her, thrusting them in and out of her slowly. Mina could only answer in moaning as pleasure came through her. Knowing that she was almost ready for him he took his fingers out of her for a split second and stripped his pants and boots off joining her back on the bed and teasing her with his fingers again in a fast speed. "You ready…?" he asked her as he looked at her to make sure this is what she wanted. This was her choice to make.

Mina looked up at him with love reflected in her eyes. "Yes…" she cupped his face in her hands. "I want you...Vlad…" she whispered before giving him a loving kiss.

Vlad moaned at her reaction and kissed her back with a hunger and fire only Mina could ignite inside him. "Then here I come….my love…" he whispered as he slowly entered her and waited for her to get used to him being in her. Mina moaned loudly as Vlad entered her that Vlad had to make Jonathan, who was outside her door, fall back asleep. "Have I hurt you…?" Vlad asked her with a fear in his voice. Mina looked up at him and shook her head. "No, you didn't…." she whispered as she moved to kiss his lips. "I don't feel any pain…" Mina whispered as she pecked Vlad's face, showering it with kisses.

Vlad had to ground his teeth as he began to thrust into her slowly and carefully so he wouldn't harm her, taking her moans and cries of pleasure in his mouth as he kissed her. Mina couldn't help but moan out in pleasure as Vlad trusted into her. The feeling of him inside her was more incredible then she imagined it would be. Being his wife fully and becoming one with him…it felt so amazing and good that she could only describe the feeling being 'heavenly'. "Oh, Vlad…" she moaned as she felt that what must be her climax coming soon.

She wrapped her legs around his waist that felt so good, to have Vlad come in her deeper. Vlad moaned at her actions and thrusted faster into her, hitting her sweet spot while his fangs started to grow and his eyes began to glow red. "My love…" he lightly growled as he moved his mouth to her neck that she offered to him.

He licked her neck to find her pulse. "My bride…" he growled in pleasure before he sank her fangs into her neck and fed from her as he released into her; falling into climax. Mina gasped of surprise as Vlad bit into her and then she moaned as she climaxed and pleasure as he fed from her. It was the most incredible thing she ever felt or experienced in her whole life. Vlad removed his fangs from her neck and kissed the bite marks on her neck. He then moved his head back to look at Mina, who looked back up at him with a smile of happiness. He grew a small claw and cut into his jugular hard enough to draw blood. Cupping Mina's head to help her move to his cut and offered her his blood…from which she began to lick and feed from…
