It had been seven months since Lesley had escaped from castle Dracula and all was going well expect for one tiny thing…She was pregnant.
"HOW CAN THIS BE!?!?!?" Lesley screamed.
The old women chuckled. "I believe you have done something that you should have not done"
Lesley glared at her. "But we are BOTH vampires! How could I conceive a child? The child of a vampire is always dead."
"The potion you have taken obvious affected your child."
"I'm going to die" Lesley said crumbling into a chair near the old women's fire.
"You look nothing like you did. The sun doesn't affect you. He has searched every village since you ran away and yet has found nothing." The old women said, as she brewed up another batch of the potion for Lesley. "And if you have a child he most definitely will not believe it is you."
"The sad thing about all this is I almost miss him" Lesley whispered.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Dracula lay in his coffin sulking when there was a knock on the coffin. "GO away. I am in no mood to speak with anyone."
"You are being very childish, sir" a voice said, slightly muffled through the thick wood of the coffin.
"Then leave me to be childish"
The coffin opened. "No, sir. Don't give up. You'll find the girl." It was Michael who knelt at the side of the coffin. "You will get up and go look for her."
"Who's master over whom?" Dracula hissed.
Michael bowed his head. "No disrespect but you should not just give up on her"
"I'm not 'Just' giving up. I've been looking for 7 months!" Dracula jumped up and began pacing the room. "I know not where to look…"
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
The child was born. A beautiful baby girl, Allegra. Lesley had to tell some pretty elaborate lies to not be shunned by the people for having a child outside of wedlock. She said that she had been married for a short time and he had died. When he did, she couldn't bare to stay in the same town so she had moved on. The town's people believed her and took pity on her.
The child grew more beautiful with ever pasting month. Soon the girl was 6 years old.
She ran about the small garden her mother had been planting. It was just after nightfall. "Mama?"
"Yes" Lesley said, straitening up and wiping her brow.
"What is that?" she pointed up into the sky. A large dark figure was moving fast through the sky towards them.
Lesley nearly died then and there. Expect for the fact that she was already dead. "Run! In the house! GO!"
She shoved Allegra but her she didn't want to run. "Mama, it's a man"
Lesley turned slowly. "What do you want?" she asked Dracula.
"Have you seen a girl named Lesley? She's your height .Has long strait brown hair. And brown eyes."
Lesley shook her head, pressing the child to her. "No"
Dracula looked at the child. She had Midnight black hair and blue eyes. Suspicion grew in him. He studied the women's face. It was Lesley's face. He knew it. "What is your name?"
"Aysel" Lesley lied quickly.
He knew it was her. "Very well then." He took off into the sky. He had found her. Finally he had found her.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"SHE'LL BE MINE AGAIN! I HAVE FOUND HER!" He yelled the moment he was in his castle.
"And you didn't bring her back because…" Michael asked.
"She has done everything possible to hide her turn identity" Dracula said. "She has changed her hair and eyes. She had a child with her too."
"A child?" Michael asked studden. "By whom?"
"Me"
"WHAT?"
"It seems she has found a witch powerful enough to make her the Potion of life. I couldn't find a witch powerful enough for my bride or myself but she seems to have. It must have an affected her to the point that she could conceive a child." Dracula leaned against the door frame that led to his balcony. "The girl is so pretty…young and cute. She looks like me. More like me then Lesley." He grinned at the thought.
"What if you took the child…Lesley would most certainly have to come back to you then" Michael walked a bit closer. "You could sneak back to the village yet to night and take the girl…"
"I could but…" He stopped and thought. "I have a better idea."
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
The next night…just after night fall.
The old women heard a knock on her door. "Who is it?"
"An old friend" a voice called.
The women opened the door and there stood Dracula. "The Dark Prince" the old women whispered. "What do you want with me, Prince?"
"I want the potion you have made for Lesley and to look different"
"Unhappy with yourself, my lord?" They old women asked as she invited him into her home and closed the door.
"Not me…I need Lesley to fall in love with me. I must pretend to be as normal as she pretends to be."
"As you wish"
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Lesley was leaning against a post in her yard. Allegra was skipping rope with some children down the street. Lesley could see them from where she stood taking a break from her garden. She turned and looked down the other way towards the gates of the city. Through them was coming a man. He had shoulder length brown hair and hazel eyes. He carried with him a pack. As he got closer, Lesley thought he seemed familiar but couldn't place him. He stopped beside her.
"Miss, can you tell me if there are any homes for sale in this part?" he asked.
"Down the street and to the right is an old house. Its owners have just past away and I believe it is being sold in the auction today. The auction is being held in the town square. That's down the street and to the left."
"Thank you, Miss." He started to move away but stopped and turned back. "I'm Gavan" he said.
"Aysel" she called. Allegra came running past him and he watched her run to 'Aysel'.
"Your daughter?" he called.
"Yes"
"She's beautiful"
"Thank you"
Gavan is Dracula...if ya missed that. I hope you enjoy. REVIEW!!!
