A NEW LIFE CH.21

When the meeting ended Dracula stood up with Anna in his arms and walked out of the room with her. Anna opened her eyes. i "Oh God no!!!" /i she thought frightened. If he was planning on violating her then she would end up betraying the order, God, but most of all...

Him...

"Please! Don't do this to me! I'm not ready for this!!!" Anna pleaded when Dracula carried her into the bedroom. "My dear.. I will not violate you yet. I need to work on a few things and I want you to keep me company while I do that.." he said sitting down in a chair at a desk and placing her on his lap.. Anna started to struggle. But he held her tighter around her waist. Dracula nuzzled her hair. "You are so beautiful my love.. You still look exactly as you did centuries ago when you loved me.." he whispered in her ear. Anna shuddered. Dracula chuckled and started to work. She just sat on his lap acting like his own little doll to touch and play with. Every once in a while he would touch her. Not inappropriately but still Anna didn't want him touching her. He would mainly tighten his grip around her waist, pull her closer to him, stroke her cheek, run his fingers through her hair, smoothe her hair, nuzzle her neck, and nuzzle her hair. Anna pretended not to notice when Dracula touched her."I see you have been regaining your memories my love.." he said to her after a long period of silence. Anna didn't say anything. Dracula chuckled. "Ahh. I see. You don't want to admit that you ever had feelings for me sometime in your life." he said massaging her shoulders. She tensed at his touch. Anna didn't want to tell him anything about the dreams she'd been having. She feared that he would use them to his advantage. "Still not saying anything?" Dracula asked while nuzzling her neck his fangs grazing the skin on her neck. "Yes I have.." Anna said frightened that he would turn her. He took his head away from her neck. "Such a good little girl.." he said kissing her on the cheek. She was ashamed of herself for admitting that to him. "Don't be ashamed my angel, you prevented me from killing you. I wouldn't want to turn you before we are married now would I?" he whispered in her ear. Anna could feel the tears coming. "Do not worry my dear, you will eventually be damned like me but you shall live a life full of power and passion. You will stand by my side as my wife, my queen, my countess, my godess, and my angel..." Dracula continued whispering in her ear. The tears ran down her cheeks. He wiped her tears away with the back of his hand. "Tears do not suit you my dear. You are much more beautiful without them.." Dracula whispered in her ear. Anna shuddered. He then started rubbing his hands up and down her arms. Then Dracula's arms wrapped around her and held her tightly to his chest. Anna let her head rest against his chest. "Good girl... you are becoming more and more attuned to my wishes.." Dracula said stroking her cheek. She let him touch her but she did not like it. "I have to wonder why you are allowing me to touch you Anna.. Are you frightened of punishment perhaps?" he asked nuzzling her neck. "Perhaps.." she said. "Good girl. I don't want to punish you.." Dracula said kissing her neck. "Liar.." Anna thought. "You don't believe me?" he asked licking her neck. "No." she said. "I guess I will have to punish you now.." Dracula said turning her on his lap, holding her in his arms, and standing up with her in his arms. "I believe you now!" Anna said struggling. "No my dear... you brought this upon yourself." he said pinning her down on the bed. "GOD HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!" she prayed.

Dracula started kissing her roughly and passionately. Anna squealed and struggled underneath him. But he pinned her down harder and continued kissing her. She struggled for awhile but she grew weak and stopped. Dracula continued kissing her hard and he began rubbing his hands on her sides. Anna felt tears stream down her face. He began to lick them off of her cheeks then he kissed her again. She squealed begging him to stop. He pulled away allowing her to get air. She gasped for breath. "YOU MONSTER! WHY ARE YOU TORTURING ME LIKE THIS?!" Anna yelled enraged. "Because you are feisty, disobedient, and beautiful..." Dracula said kissing her harder. "Why the hell did I take this assignment?!" Anna asked herself. He kept kissing her and rubbing his hands on her sides. Clearly he was enjoying himself. But Anna hated it. She wanted to be back at the order as if nothing ever happened. She looked out the window and saw that the sun was about rise. "PRAISE YOU LORD!!!!" Anna thought overjoyed in her head. Dracula looked at the window. "Hmm... the sun.. I guess I'll have to punish you later.." he said picking her up and setting her on her feet in the closet so she could change. Anna shut the door in his face. "Bastard..." she thought as she changed into the black nightgown she had worn the day before. Anna stepped out of the closet and walked over to the bed. Dracula had changed as well and pulled the curtains back on the window so he wouldn't be burned by the sun. She sat down on the bed and he pulled her to his chest. He layed down and pulled her down with him. Dracula held Anna's head to his chest. "I know what memories have returned to you my love, whenever you see a memory I see it as well.. You cannot hide from me anymore." he said holding her tighter. Then she had a massive headache...

Anna was dusting in the library when she felt something rub up against her leg. She looked down and she saw a cat with orange and white fur stare up at her with it's green eyes. "Hello there! What are you doing here?" she asked it kindly. The cat meowed and rubbed up against her leg again. Anna put the duster down and picked up the cat. "You shouldn't be in here little girl! Let's find your owner!" she said walking out of the library carrying the cat that was purring and meowing happily. She walked to Lord Valerious' study and knocked. "Come in!" a deep male voice called. Anna opened the door and walked in with the cat. "I'm sorry to bother you sir but I found this cat in the library. Is she yours?" she asked still holding the purring cat. Lord Valerious had a stunned look on his face. "She let you touch her?" he asked shocked. "The cat rubbed up against my leg sir." Anna answered somewhat confused. "That cat has never let anyone touch her after my wife passed away. But she seems to like you." Lord Valerious said seeing her look of confusion. "I'm so sorry..." she said. "You didn't kill her my dear." he said. "Now I want you to do something with that cat." Lord Valerious said. "What is it sir?" Anna asked still holding the cat. "I want you to keep her since she likes you so much." he said smiling. "I'm sorry sir but I don't think I could keep her.." she said shocked. "You can keep her in your room or you can let her follow you around while you work." Lord Valerious said. "Thank you Lord Valerious!" Anna said bowing while still holding the cat. "You are welcome my dear." he said smiling. She walked out of the study closing the door behind her and set the cat down. "Oh.. I don't know your name." Anna said looking down at the cat. "Her name is Sally." a man said. Anna turned and saw Vlad standing across from her. "Thank you sir!" she said curtsying to him. "Come here Sally! Here kitty kitty!" she said walking away and Sally followed her.

Anna opened her eyes. "Yes... I remember Sally...she would follow you around when you worked.. she loved you very much... but not as much as I love you..." Dracula whispered in her ear. Anna trembled at his words. He had seen the memory as well! "Now my dear we must rest.." he said to her kissing her on the cheek before falling asleep. Anna didn't fall asleep though. She was troubled by how he could see the memories. "I can't hide them from him..." Anna thought frightened. What else did he know that she didn't?
