a/n: So…I think this might be a long chapter. I don't know. We'll wait and see, R&R please.

Chapter Twelve: He's back.

Snow sighed; she sat up from the lounge chair and watched the people play in the pool. She turned to Sierra, "Got any sun block?"

Sierra lifted up her sunglasses and looked in her bag next to Vlad. She pulled it out, "Here."

"Thank you."

"Mhm, just keep it next to you."

"Alright."

Now it was Vlad's turn to sigh, "Either of you wanna go swimming?"

Snow slathered sun block on; she smirked and laughed, "No, just put sun block on."

"Ha-ha." Vlad faked laughed, he sat up and turned to Sierra who was responding to a text message she got. "Sierra?"

"Hmm?" she sent the text and closed her phone.

"Wanna go swimming?"

Sierra looked at the water and bit her lip. "Uhh…I-I don't want to?"

"How come?" Vlad asked, taking off his sunglasses.

"I don't have a swim suit." She said quickly.

"Then explain this." He motioned to her and Snow's swimsuits, both were wearing bikini swim suits, then he motioned to his swim trunks.

She looked down and pretended to be surprised, "Wow! We change fast!" she smiled and laughed nervously.

"Sierra…" Vlad said, still waiting for the answer to why she didn't wanna swim.

Snow walked over, took Sierra's bag and walked back to her lounge chair. Sierra looked at Snow, "Hey?"

"I'm stealing your iPod." She said as she took it out and put the earbuds in her ears.

"Okay?" she said, then she turned back to Vlad. "I'm just-"

"Yes?"

"I don't know how to swim." She admitted, feeling ashamed for not knowing how to swim.

Vlad looked at her, "Well, I could teach you." He smiled.

"It's impossible to teach me. My cousin tried to teach me how to float, so I started to panic and then I went under water." She wet her lips.

"Come on. Just give me one try." He begged.

Sierra sighed, "One time. If I go under, I'm not going back in."

"Deal," Vlad stood off and held out his hand, waiting for Sierra to take it. She took it and Vlad led her to the pool side. He got in first and had his back to Sierra. "Come on, I'll give you a piggy back ride around the pool."

Sierra bit her lip and slipped her feet into the water, she shivered then relaxed. Vlad walked backwards so she could get on his back. She hooked her legs around his waist, and then she put her arms around his next slightly.

"You on?" Vlad asked.

"Yeah." She responded.

Vlad started the walk around the pool. He got back to where they started, "Feeling a bit more comfortable?"

"Kinda."

"I'm gonna put you back on the concrete, and I'll lead you back in, okay?"

She nodded and slid back onto the concrete. Vlad turned to her. His arms extended, as if he were gonna take a child.

"Come on, I'll hold you up." He reassured her.

Sierra nodded and kept her hands on the concrete, she slowly slid her body into the water, Vlad keeping a hold on her waist. Once she was in, he smiled at her. "Good job."

He led her in more until they were in water to Sierra's neck. "Don't let go." She begged.

"I won't." he kissed her cheek, "I promise."

Sierra nodded, and wrapped her arms around Vlad's neck. "I'm gonna try and make you float, just relax, okay?"

She nodded and relaxed her muscles, which took her some time. Once Vlad felt her relax, he slowly tilted her back so she floated.

Keeping one hand on her back, Vlad told her to close her eyes. She did, and then she started to panic. She felt like she was gonna fall under. She yelped and grabbed onto Vlad's shoulders.

Vlad calmed her, "Shhh… It's okay."

"I almost fell in." she said.

"No you didn't," Vlad soothed, "Come on, let's try it one more time." He said.

"I don't want to." She said, whining slightly. It was clear she wanted to stick to the deal.

"Sierra, please," Vlad begged.

"No." she said, "I told you, it's impossible to teach me how to swim."

Vlad pondered, he took a slight hold of Sierra and bought her close to him. He placed his lips on hers. They were interrupted by Snow who wolf whistled, "Hey! You know there are children here." She laughed.

They both turned a shade of red. Vlad finally broke the awkward silence. "Please?"

She sighed, "One more time."

"Yay," Vlad smiled to himself. He bought her back into the water. "Relax again, and I'll be holding you, alright?"

Sierra nodded and relaxed.

After about five minutes, Vlad felt Sierra relax; he tilted her back until she was floating.

Five more minutes later, Sierra opened her eyes, "Am I floating?"

Vlad smiled and nodded, "Yes."

"Can we stop there?" she asked, slowly getting up.

"Sure," Vlad said, moving her hair behind her ear. Slowly, Vlad led Sierra to the edge of the pool, where he helped her up onto the concrete.

Vlad got himself on the concrete and stood up, he helped Sierra up. "We're back." Vlad smiled as he sat down.

Snow peeked out from her sunglasses and winked at Sierra. She leaned into Sierra and whispered, "I know the owner. You two could stay after everyone leaves. I'll leave both of you alone." She winked once again.

Sierra started to get nervous. "Really?"

"Really." Snow smiled

Sierra nodded and lay back on the lounge chair.


"Did they all leave?" Sierra asked, now in her skinny jeans, but still donned a bikini top and a pair of flip flops.

Snow looked around the dark poolside. She turned to her and smiled, "Mmm."

A grown man appeared behind Sierra and Snow, "So, her and her friend are gonna stay here, Snow?"

"That is correct." She said with a smile.

The man shrugged, he gave Snow a key, "Lock up when you're done." He sighed.

Snow hugged him, "Thanks, Uncle Michyl."

"Sure thing, Sweetheart." He hugged back, and then he left.

"Vlad," Snow sang.

"What?" he sang back from a distance.

"Oh, come on out!" she said.

Vlad came out from the car. He walked to them. "I'm here." He was in a shirt and pants, no shoes.

Snow smiled, she was in a black dress and black boots. She was heading to the Crypt later on, after Vlad and Sierra had their alone time.

"I'll be in the car." Snow winked, took the keys from Vlad and headed to the car.

Sierra and Vlad were officially alone. The two stood in silence. Vlad was the first to break it. "Shall we sit down?"

"Sure." Sierra smiled.

Vlad led her to the lounge chairs. She sat down first, then Vlad. "So, we're alone." Vlad said.

"Yeah…" she nodded, she shivered, "So, I left my sweater in the car by accident. Could you go get it?"

Vlad smiled and kissed Sierra. "Sure. Be right back, love."

Sierra smiled and giggled when Vlad left. She took off her flip flops and walked by the poolside. She smiled slightly and knelt down, touching the water.

Something cold swept past her, as if a cold breeze swept in. Sierra furrowed her brow. "Hello?"

It swept past her again. She was getting uncomfortable. Where was Vlad? "H-Hello-"

A hand slapped over her mouth, cutting her off from what she was about to say.
