53. Vampires
"Oh Yeah, appart from that Dracula soon will be in my room, sucking in my blood, is everything fine! Fine, fine, fine!" Oscar said in the same way as when he should have left because of Theodora.
"Oscar, you don't want to die or to be ill!" Theodora snapped. "Please, just try to understand."
"I understand it! But you asked me if I was scared... So I said I was scared..." Oscar asnwered, as he took a deep sign and alowed his body to lie in bed.
Glinda raced back into the room. "Jease has summoned Count Drake." "He is on his way." "Oscar, after this you will no longer be ill!" Theodora said, encouragingly.
"I really, really hope so... But... Theodora you never gave me a potion... Or atleast I don't remember you did..." Oscar lied his arms in his bed. "And I am scaaaaarrrrreeeeed now... Soon I will have two bitemarks in my neck and someone sucking my blood... Are you sure, he can stop drinking my blood when it's clean? He is afther all... A immortal vampire..."
"He will only suck out the poison, not your blood." "Drake will not feed on you!" Theodora calmly stated. "You're safe, I will not leave you."
"But he's a vampire and moost of the time vampires, can't stop as they even tasted something in my body..." Oscar said. "And afther all he is maybe one of the eldest creatures here in Oz..."
"That is why we can trust him." "Drake, please, the Wizard has been poisoned," Theodora stated. "Yes, your majesty, I will save him," Drake answered. He walked over and slowly started to sink his teeth into Oscar's throat. Oscar screamed, as Drake sucked out the poison. At first, Oscar thought that he was loosing blood, he would not survive. Then, he began to feel relief. His illness was no longer inside him. "Thank you!" Theodora cried. "Your welcome," Drake replied, as he spit out all of the poison in his mouth. He drank some of the wine to destroy the poison in his mouth. "Will that be all?" he asked. "Yes, thank you, again," Theodora said, as Drake left the room. "Oscar, you have more colour in your face now."
Oscar started to pant, still scared of what just happend. "Afcours every creature lives here in Oz... What kind of vampire is Drake?" Oscar asked afther a small minute.
"A prime-evil one." "One of the elders in OZ," Theodora replied. "Look, his teeth marks are already fading." "I told you that he would not harm you." "He bows to the Wizard."
Oscar chuckled nervously. Then he laughed triumphantly. "Hahaha~! I can see it." Oscar laughed as he stood up and stook his hand out to grap Theodora's one, then they walked out of the room. "Does he also only life at nighttime?" Oscar asked.
"He lives in the North, where it is usually dark," Theodora replied. "Don't you feel better now, you seem like yourself."
"Hahah! Yes I do... Afcours my life... It is always nice to feel myself again, as the great and powerful Wizard of Oz... And I am glad that you believe in me again..." Oscar took her beautiful light tinted hands in his. "You really have changed from who I once was... And I can't say that to enough..." Oscar smirked. "I found everything and everything I belong to... In you..." Oscar said.
"I'm so glad!" Theodora stated. "I only wish you were well, when we visited Annie."
Oscar signed in a sad way as he rolled his eyes, helding Theodora with both of his arms by her middle. "That was the last time I saw her... Or atleast for many years. My visions told me so..." Oscar said as he starred in her eyes. "Maybe we should check soon on our little angel, dear Julie, Drake, Comfort, Jease, and Glinda, I think, Eva sleeps again. But she needs it... And I need to practice my magic and believe, since I feel, soon Momba or another Wicked Witch will come..." Oscar statted.
"Oh, I'd hope that we would have peace longer," Theodora remarked. "But, you are right, we should be prepared." "I'll check on Ann, Finley is watching her." "Frank is with Glinda." Theodora left the room. "Rest now, please."
Oscar chuckled has he allowed his vinger to be put onhis lips. "But I am not tired at all... You know what this night needs? A little music..."
"Oh, you want the music box?" Theodora questioned, with a smirk.
"Yes, tada..." Oscar grinned as he smirked and putted one of his arms in the air, suddenly giving her the music box in a magical way. Like he always arrived them. "Here is your music box..." Oscar smirked.
"Oh Oscar, it's just like old times, again!" Theodora marveled, as she held the music box. She opened it and it started to play its infamous song. "This is just wonderful."
Oscar smiled as he watched the two people twirl around in the music box, as he rememberd that night, oh that perfect night, they danced for hours, and then how they walked the next day back to Emerald City. "Theodora... The reason why I answered all my questions so nervous was... Because it all did went so fast for me, in first case..." Oscar smiled. "And because I never though of getting married... That was the reason why I took a back, the day before I left..."
Theodora laughed at Oscar's words. "Oscar, I know that." "And I was a little over-zealous, myself."
"You had the rights to be over-jealous..." Oscar laughed as he put the music box on thed bed and pulled Theodora's body close to his. "So... Let dance..." Oscar chuckled.
"My pleasure, Oz," Theodora said, smiling. They danced for what seemed like hours. The music box just kept playing.
Oscar allowed her to do a few new dance movies and in the end as the music box stopped playing, Oscar kissed her at the lips, and he didn't wint it up again. "You're getting better at it my dear..." Oscar finished.
"Oh, am I?" "Theodora laughed. "Thank you." "Oscar, this is such a perfect night." "I only wish that you did not have to Drake."
"What do you mean? I am afther all in my own dream now... Haha, just joking, I mean like, Vampires, Witches, Wizards, Fairly's, Weerwolves, Zombies... It's all so very new to me..." Oscar said as he looked around. "And now I just met one of my biggest nightmares... Dracula... I always used to read those books and they scared the crap out of me... And this person... Looks exactly like the Dracula, discribed in the books, pale, red eyed, sharp and snow-white tooths, black hair stroken in a neat way, with a kind of jel or something... He weares a dress with, a kind of pants under it, with glitters, a cross necklace in black, and a kind of cape..."
"I know, my love, he scared you, that scared me as well!" "But, seeing you well now, fills me with joy!" Theodora replied.
Oscar smiled at her. "Now it is time to go check on our family..." Oscar said as they both left the room, but then Evanora's room took Theodora's attention. "I just want to check on my sisther... Glinda told me that her depression became more worse and that she somethimes, still losed some blood, that is why she needs to rest much... And she says that she still looks horrible..." Theodora said.
Theodora walked into Evanora's room. "Evanora?" "Are you alright?"
"Theodora?" Evanora said, as she looked at her. "I'm feeling better, I just don't know why I am so depressed." "Maybe you just need to give your new life a start, like I did," Theodora replied. "You're a good person, don't do this.
"I know, Theodora... I try but... Since I have Jelenora, I feel so depressief... And somethimes I even act crazy or start to cry even though I am not sad, one time Glinda even had to take Jelenora away from me..." Evanora looked down. "Since I have her... It's hard for me... To controll myself... Sisther... What's happening to me? Am I becoming mad?"
"No, you just need to give yourself a chance," Theodora responded. "Just try to move on, you're not the same person you once were!"
"Theodora... Have you ever read about depressions right afther the pregnancy? Some can even make you graag for a couple of mouths... Some years... Some forever..." Evanora answered.
"You don't need to worry!" "If you'd like we can ask Jease and Glinda for help, they might be able to provide therapy."
Evanora smirked. "Afcours Theodora, maybe they could help me... But still I am not sure..." Evanora answered, then Jelenora started to cry. "Oh my poot dear..." Evanora grapped her as she cuddled her, then she stopped crying.
"You see, you already have less worries on yourself." "Jelenora is taking care of that," Theodora commented. "Just forget your troubles and focus on Glinda and Jelenora."
Evanora smiled at her. "I know and I try my best to do that... But with a depression you somethimes lose the controll over yourself... You can't controll a depression..." Evanora answered.
"But, you can have therapy for depression," Theodora added. "I'll talk to Jease, he'll know what to do."
Evanora smiled to her. "Thank you... But, it is somethimes hard to fight against it..." Evanora nussled Jelenora. "I thank you sisther... I thank you for everything..." Evanora answered as a smile came across her lips and a tear rolled down her cheek.
