Lesley woke first. She gently opened the lid and climbed out, grabbing her clothes with her. She gently put the lid back in place. "I have to leave or I'll end up in love with him!" she whispered sharply to herself. She dressed and headed down to the entrance hall. "Let them be open" she begged. They door creaked open. She was so happy she laughed out loud. She ran towards the forest. It was the only thing around.
She ran for nearly three hours, stopping only to catch her breath before running again. Lesley was so tried; she collapsed near a tree, using its roots a pillow. "I will make it away before he finds me!" she vowed.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Dracula woke with a stretch. "Lesley" he whispered. He then realized she wasn't next to him. He rose from the coffin, dressed quickly and set out to find her. "Lesley", he called through the castle. "Where are you?" It took him only checking her room and Library to know she had fled the castle. "Michael!"
Michael came to him. "Yes, master?"
"She's gone"
"I thought she was with you"
"She was…but" Dracula growled. "She left the castle…track her down! I will head south…you head north. I want her back!"
"Yes, Master" Michael whispered before taking a winged form and flying out the window.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Lesley came to a village. She stopped a little boy on the road. "Is there a doctor in this town" she asked.
The little looked at her and screamed, "DÂNSA PE VAMPIR!" (She is a Vampire)
Lesley's eyes widened. "I-I"
The children's mother grabbed her son from Lesley's grip. "FI PLECAT TU CREATURĂ DIN IAD!" (Be gone you creature of hell!)
Lesley turned and fled back into the forest. "Dracula was right! They will never see for what I am again. I am truly a creature of the night!"
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Dracula searched high and low for Lesley. When he came to the town Lesley had already been he landed in the center of town. "WHERE IS SHE!" he bellowed.
"DUMNEAVOASTRĂ MIREASĂ TRECUT DE LA RUN ÎNSPRE CEI PĂDURE!" (Your bride ran into the forest!) The people shouted.
"Muljumire tu" (Thank you) Dracula said, as he flew off again.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Lesley found an old house in the middle of the woods. Normal people would have kept there distance but not Lesley. She was a vampire after all. She knocked on the door and it was opened by an old women. "What is it you want?" The women asked.
"I need to find a witch" Lesley said, letting the moon shine on her and make her more ghostly than before.
"What make you think I know where one is?" The old women asked.
"If you want to live you will tell me" Lesley growled showing her teeth.
"A vampire" The women said. "Why that explains a lot. Come in, my child. Come in. For I am who you seek"
Lesley entered the house. "I need a potion. To make me human even if only during the daylight hours. Can it be done?"
"Of course" the women said. She sat down and began flipping through a large leather book on her lap. "Sit"
Lesley sat in the chair across from her. "I also want something to dye my hair and change the color of my eyes. I don't want to be found."
"What color do you want your hair and eyes?"
"I want beautiful curly blonde hair and blue eyes." Lesley said, flicking her brown hair off her shoulder. "Can you do it?"
"As you wish" The old women said. "It will take two hours to make you a potion to turn you human for the day hours. It must be take everyday or it won't work. And, as for your hair and eyes," The old women blinked. "It's done"
Lesley felt her hair and sure enough it was curly. She held it in front of her nose and it was blonde. "Oh my-"
"Yes it isvery different." The old women said, as she stood and began to make the potion. "No one will ever know it is you"
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Dracula saw a girl walking through the forest. He flew closer but saw only that she was no Lesley. She had curly blonde hair and blue eyes. She was headed to a village that he had yet to try to find Lesley, but the sun had begun to rise and he need to return to his castle for safety.
"I will find her if it take me forever" Dracula vowed as he flew back to the castle.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Lesley entered the town just as the people began to go to work. The sun hit her cheek but did no burn, instead just warmed them. "I'm free" She whispered. The witch had told her when she ran out of the potion to come back to her and she would brew another batch.
Many young men notice Lesley as she entered the town. One came forward and bowed. "I'm Ervin" the man said. "I don't remember you. Are you new here?"
"Yes…I'm Aysel" Lesley lied.
"Let me take you to the inn" Ervin said, as he led her way into town.
Ervin means friend of the sea in Hungarian and Aysel means moonlight in Turkish. Hope you enjoyed…THIS IS STILL NOT THE END. Reviews are welcome.
