Monster Movie 4x05
Ashlee's p.o.v
Oktoberfect.
I think i'm in love.
"Is a pretzel that size really necessery?" Derek asks me.
"Got you one too" I say, bringing it out from behind my back. His eyes light up. He nods his thanks and pecks my lips. I smile, unable to hold it back. I'm still getting used to all this. To being past friends with Derek. I still get butterflies when he looks at me with that special soft smile. God..i'm sappy. We eat our pretzels before approaching the Shrieff. He invites us to the morgue to talk and show us the girl's body. Something catches my eye. I move her head and there's 2 small blackened marks on her neck. Identical. Derek and I share a look. Vampire.
..
We ask the bar maid where Ed Brewer is. She seems more interested in Derek than the fact that we're officers and there's been a murder. And being the slightly aggressive and sort of something to Derek that I now am, I..sort of..ignore her.
She points us to a table when we see a young guy with a mustache, drinking out of some sort of vintage flask. It's Ed. We ask him questions and he's beyond weird. He tells us that he saw a vampire biting the girl's neck. I ask what the man looked like and he describes Dracula. Exactly describes Dracula.
..
"First Dracula, now a werewolf?" I ask Derek as we walk away from the girl who's boyfriend just got killed. She was weird too. Everyone here is weird. But they have giant pretzels so it's okay. We go and check out the boy's body. It's literally torn up, bite marks reaching the bone.
"The heart's still there. Can't be a werewolf" Derek says. The shrieff comes in and tells us they found wolf hairs on the body. So werewolf is a possiblity. But not our type of werewolf, like storybook werewolf.
..
We go back to the bar for food and alcohol. After all the monster mash confusion..we deserved a drink. The same barmaid brings us beers, tells us they're on the house. She starts to talk to Derek.
"It doesn't have to be another girl's night" she says before walking away. She just subtley asked out Derek. I narrow my eyes are her but I don't speak up. Derek's not mine. We might we a something, but we're not a couple. I don't get to tell him what he does and doesn't do. He looks up at me and back down at his beer.
"I'm not going" he says.
"If you think she can give us some more info, you can go, it's okay. I understand" I say, tracing my fingers around the rim of my beer.
"No. I don't want too. It doesn't feel right." He says. He looks up at me. "Besides, we got a really nice room this time." He smiles at me. "So she can have her girl's night and we'll do our own thing, alright?"
"Alright." I smile back.
"Good." Derek says, putting his hand on him. I thread my fingers through his. I have to admit, i'm glad you didn't decide to go with that girl. I might not have the right to have a say in what he does, but I can still be pissed off about it. And besides, i'd rather spend the night curled up with him too anyway.
..
Mummies? Really? I didn't think this could get weirder.. Derek show me a Philly prop house sticker. This isn't even a real mummy's case, it's a prop. I turn and see other FBI agents, real FBI agents, in suits.
"We should go" I say, putting my head down and dragging Derek out. Sometimes we're not careful enough. But we manage to get out without bumping into them so we're okay. And maybe we're feeling a little light from the amount of alcohol we had earlier on. We walk through the streets, a weird mist settling around us. Huh. "I have to pee" I say.
"Right now?" Derek asks.
"Yes right now. Where's the nearest open shop?"
"I have no clue" he says. "What about the bar?"
"It's gotta be close-by" I nod. We just came from there before going to check out the mummy case so it's close. I see the hanging sign. "Bingo" I grin.
"Can you walk by yourself?" Derek teases.
"Shut up Hale. I'll be 2 seconds" I say, going in. I nod the the blonde barmaid, motioning to the toilets. She nods back. I go in and use them. I come out, tripping a little on the small steps. I cringe, waiting for Derek to laugh and tease me. I'm not met with laughter like I thought I would be. I'm meet with nothing, just mist and brick pavements. Derek would tease the hell out of me for being so clumsy..where is he? "Derek?" I call out. No response. I start to walk, looking for him. "Derek? Don't be an asshole, get out here" I hear footsteps behind me. I turn around and instead of soft green eyes and my favourite stubbled-face, I see what Ed was talking about. He literally looks like Dracula. I reach for my gun but it's not here. Derek and I put them in the car before we went to the Mummy case. Too many officers and agents around. I have my knife though.
"Good evening." It smiles, showing sharp fangs. Damn. I turn and run. Where the hell is Derek? I hear it following me. Are you serious?! I come to a dead end. I turn and the, really ugly, Dracula is there. "I have watched you since you got here." Gross. "My passion knows no bounds." He says, coming closer. This is really creepy and actually scaring me a little. I bring my knife to my side. I still feel a little drunk so it's hard for me to see him clearly. But I can still see him which means I can still stab the creep. "You are the reincarnation of my beloved and I must have you." He says. I slice out at him once he's close enough. He recoils back and I run past him. Where the hell am I? I run into someone.
"Ash?" It's Derek.
"Where the hell were you?" I ask him, leaning into his side.
"Something jumped me. Are you okay?" He asks. But before I can answer, vampire Romeo comes around the corner. "Son of a bitch" Derek says, seeing Ed was telling the truth.
"You should not use such language in the presence of my bride, my lovely Mina." The vampire says. Derek's eyes harden. I don't think he liked that at all.
"Get back." He tells me. I step back and Derek swings at the vampire. He drops to the ground but is back on his feet in an instant, hissing and baring his fangs. Derek tries to fight him but Dracula gets the upper hand, throwing him againist a wall.
"Not so fast Mr Harker." It hisses.
"Ash, run!" Derek says.
"I don't think so." I say, storming towards them with my knife. I stab out but vampire guy swings Derek around, smashing him into me. The knife's thrown from my hand and I hit the ground with a hard thud.
"Ash!" I hear Derek yell. My vision darkens and i'm unconcious before he can get to me.
..
I wake up coughing. I sigh and lay back down. Wait. I shoot up.
"Relax, i'm here." Derek says. I see him sitting at the table and sigh in relief. He comes over and brings me a small glass of water. I take a big gulp. It soothes my throat.
"Thanks." I say with a weak smile. Derek's hand comes to my head, brushing my hair from my face and down my back.
"You feeling okay?" He asks.
"Besides being knocked out by you, literally. I'm okay" I smile.
"Sorry about that." He says sheepishly.
"It's fine, wasn't your fault." I brush it off. Derek was thrown into me, nothing he could have done.
"Oh, i've got something." He says, getting up and going back to the table. I pout, missing the relaxing feeling of his hand in my hair. "Take a look." He says, handing me a folded up towel. I open it and cringe at the contents. It's an ear. Wow.
"That's really gross, thanks." I say.
"Touch it."
"What?"
"Touch it."
"You're talking about the ear right?" I ask. He rolls his eyes, trying to hold back a grin.
"Touch it." He says again. I touch it. Yuck.
"Shifter." I guess. He nods. "Wait..who's Mina?" I ask.
"I looked into that too while you were out of it." He says.
"How long was I out for?" I ask.
"7 hours."
"7 hours?! Derek, you should've woken me up after 3." I say.
"No, you needed it. You still need it." He says softly. Argh. He looks out for me too much.
"What'd you find then?" I ask.
"Mina was Dracula's intended bride." He tells me.
"Awesome." I sigh. "Why'd he call you Mr Harker?" I ask.
"Found that too. Johnathan Harker, Mina's partner. The only person stopping Dracula from marrying Mina." He tells me.
"Thanks babe." I tease.
"You're welcome sweetie." He jokes.
"Where are we anyway?" I ask, looking around.
"The bar. The workers were still here and I needed somewhere for you to lay down." He explains. I nod. "I'm just glad you're okay." He says.
"That makes two of us." I say.
"Please stop staring the crap out of me." Derek says.
"I'm sorry, but no promises." I shrug. He sighs fondly. I lean forward and kiss him. He kisses me back, his hand coming to the back of my neck. We jump away from each other when there's a knock on the open door. There's the blonde again.
"Oh." She says, having caught us kissing. "Um..how are we in here?" She asks.
"She's okay" Derek tells her. The blonde, Jamie her tag says, looks between us before nodding.
"Lucy and I are having a few drinks if you guys are up for it." She offers. I nod. Derek helps me up and we follow her into the bar. We sit down across the booth from Jamie and Lucy.
"What happened?" Lucy asks, pouring us all drinks from her bottle.
"Uh.." Derek and I share a look. "Someone jumped us." I decide to say.
"I'm so sorry, I have no idea who would want to do somthing like that." Lucy says.
"Yeah, we're still stuck on that as well." I sigh. Who the hell's been watching me since I got here? Noone as far as i'm concerned, only Derek. I highly doubt he's 'Dracula'.
"Sounds like you two had a pretty horrible night." Jamie says.
"It's okay, Derek did his usual 'save-the-day'." I tell her. She's alright, I just wish she'd stop trying to flirt with Derek. I'd say after our little show before, she'll stop now.
"You two make quite the team." Jamie smiles. I smile awkwardly. I touch my hand to my temple when my head starts to ache. Then my vision turns all fuzzy. Maybe i'm still dizzy from being knocked out.
"Ash? Ash, what's wrong?" Derek asks me. I try to look at him but he's blurry too. I see Jamie fall forward, knocked out. I look up and Lucy's grinning. I swing at her but fall onto the floor. Derek stumbles, trying to get to my side. He falls down beside me. She drugged us or something. It only takes seconds for everything to turn black.
..
Ashlee's p.o.v
I wake up and my head hurts like hell. Where am I this time? Brick walls, candles? Old victorian plateware and cutlery? This isn't some weird S&M thing, right? No, no, no, i'm not into that.
"You've awakened." I grit my teeth and turn to see Dracula. "The gown, it suits your beauty." He says, motioning to the dress beside me. I look at it, it's white with jewels and a deep neckline. "Please, put it on." I cringe in disgust. I reach for my knife but i'm weaponless.
"Where's Derek?" I ask.
"Harker is resting, I swear. Now please, put on the gown so we may dine. We're having pizza." The vamp says, showing me a pizza on a silver platter. I stare blanky at him. Really?
"I'm not eating pizza with you and i'm certainly not putting on that monsterousity." I snark.
"Put on the gown!" He orders.
"No! Let me out of here!' I yell back. I get up and try run for the door but i'm slammed back into the floor, him hissing in my face. Then a sharp pain, and black again.
..
I wake up again, on the same bed. But this time, i'm in the white dress.
"Oh gross." I sigh. He dressed me while I was knocked out..again. He tries to give me his pity story about how he's a freak, a monster. I actually feel bad when he tells me his Dad tried to beat him to death with a shovel. He found the monsters, the beautiful monsters he calls them. Now he's like them.
"Now I have you." He says, reaching to touch my cheek. I lean away from him and he pulls his hand away.
"Firstly, you don't have me. I'm not your's. Secondly, you're like this, by yourself, because you kill people." I say.
"No, I kill people because i'm lonely." He corrects me. His head snaps to the side when we hear movement. Thank god for Derek.
"Derek!" I yell out. "DEREK!" And i'm knocked out again. For a friggin' third time.
..
Derek's p.o.v
I manage to escape, pick-locking the door. I have to find Ash. I hear her screaming my name. I run towards the sound. It brings me to a room. Then I see her. On a bed in a white dress. She's not moving. I clench my jaw angerily. I'm going to slaughter this vampire. I'm grabbed from behind and thrown through a wall. Dracula rushes over and grabs me, delievering elbow after elbow to my face. I wobble dizzily.
"And now Harker, you die!" He hisses. I punch out at him, getting him off me.
"How about now you shut the hell up?" I taunt, running at him. He punches me and throws me to the ground. He hisses, fangs enlongating even more. I jolt in suprise when something pokes through his chest.
"Silver?" Dracula asks, turning around. Ash is standing there, looking dangerously angry. There's a dagger right through his upper back and out his chest. Dracula starts to sway weakly. "It was beauty that killed the beast." Dracula says. "No Mina, my love, do not weep." He says softly, reaching out for her. I move to get the creep away from her but Ash rips the dagger out of his back and swings at his head. My eyes widen when his dead head hits the floor, his body following soon after.
"He dressed me in this thing in my sleep." She shivers in disgust, looking down at the dress..which is now covered with blood. I get to my feet, moving towards her. "He-" I cut her off by kissing her. I bring both hands to her face and hold her. She's not responsive at first out of suprise but after a couple seconds, starts to kiss me back. We pull back after a good 5 seconds, keeping our foreheads together. I don't know what came over me..I saw her laying on that bed and..I don't know. Just thinking about that vampire touching her, trying to claim her, marry her..it pissed me off. Alot. It's like I didn't have control of my body, it was instinct to show her i'm here and that she's safe with me, that I won't let her get hurt. That I care about her.
"Uh..sorry." I say.
"No, it's okay." She says, smiling a little. "I guess..I didn't expect that." She chuckles. I smile. Her laugh always make me smile, she makes me smile. Because she makes me happy. She leans in and kisses me again, just a soft peck. "Come on, let's get the hell out of here." She says, grabbing my hand. We walk out of his house hand in hand. We get to the Camaro and both get in. I pull out, leaving the vampire and his victorian love nest behind us.
"I think you look nice in a dress." I break the silence.
"I think you're an idiot." She smiles. I scoff, typical Ash. "Do you have any spare clothes? I don't wanna wear this thing."
"In the back." I tell her. She crawls into the backseat and starts searching through the bags. I keep my eyes on the road, leaving her to change in the backseat in privacy. After a few minutes she climbs back through, sitting beside me in my shirt and a pair of denim shorts which i'm guessing are her's. They certainly aren't mine.
"That's better." She sighs. She winds down the window and I watch with a smirk as she brings out a lighter and lights the dress on fire then proceeds to throw the dress out the window. "Wake me when it's my turn to drive." She says, curling up on the seat. She reaches over, without looking at me, and takes my hand in her's. I look at her and our hands but she's got her eyes closed, ready to go to sleep.
"I will." I say, looking at the girl with soft eyes and rubbing the back of her hand with my thumb, threading our fingers through each other's.
