Chapter two, by Mouse

Anna pushed away from him. His eyes fixed on hers, she glared back. He moved towards her, she moved back, he moved forwards again and she moved back.

''Anna. Do not toy with me.'' He hissed at her, warning her.

''Or what? Set your little brides on me,'' She moved her hand to her mouth and added sarcarstily, ''Oh, I forgot, I got them, didn't I?'' Dracula smiled,

''I am rather glad you did so, I was bored of my old play things, and I wanted something new...'' He advanced towards her, backing her into the corner, Anna wasn't about to let him win,

''I wouldn't back a woman into a corner who knows how to hurt a man.'' She whispered seductively,

''Oh? How will you hurt me, pray to tell.'' He licked his lips,

''Knee to the groin.'' She kneed him hard, he doubled towards her, she dodged him and advanced to the door, but when she reached it, it wasn't there, Dracula had gotten rid of it!

''Do not worry, you will be alone with me for a while pet..'' He was in front of her.

''The devil never said I had to be one of your tart-like brides! I made a deal with him, but I did not want to be any where near scum like you!'' She yelled, he seized her shoulders and pulled her forcefully towards him, She ducked from his eyes, with were now boring into her mind. She opened her mouth to yell but a hand came over it,

''No point in screaming, my love, nobody will hear you.'' His warm breath whispered into her ear. Anna panicked, she threw her weight back knocked him to the ground, she scrambled up, diving for her coffin and shutting the lid, holding it down (it has handles inside for closing) while Dracula groaned and got up. He pulled the door open, after a few worthless tugs, he gazed down at the very angry Anna. He longed to be in there next to her. He decided he would, it was almost sun rise. Taken Anna by surprise, he shiftily got in next to her, closing the lid, pressing Anna towards him,

''What are you-?'' Anna starting, but was hushed by Count,

''Hush now. We shall discuss this tomorrow, I can not stand to fight with such a beautiful woman such as yourself for any longer.'' He pushed her forward against his cold lips. To his surprise, she did not struggled, she sighed and fell asleep,

''We shall; sort this out when we awake.'' He listened to her non-existent breathing, and soon joined her in her slumber.

----------------------------------------------

Anna awoke in a pair of very strong arms. She wanted to hurl. His scent was over whelming, and she defiantly didn't want to be next to him like this ever again. Sure she wanted him dead and in his own coffin, as far away from her as possible, but this was ridiculous! She tripped to sit up, but only succeeding in banging her head off the top off the coffin and being pulled back down by those strong arms,

''Where do you think you are going this early in the night?'' Dracula whispered sleepily in her ear,

''Away from you?'' She snapped back. He sighed and let her go. But he got out with her. She sighed and made her move to the door which was now back, striding out of the room and only to crash straight back into his chest,

''What the-?'' She decided to leave him to his weird way, her stomach growled, and he smiled,

''Hungry?'' He laughed. She decided she would have to play it cool to this skin crawling demon because she WAS hungry,

''Erm, yeah. I could eat a whole cow!'' She held her stomach in her hands,

''Fresh out of cows.'' He laughed again, one of those laughs that for some reason made her stomach flutter,

''Then, how about some chicken?'' She nervously asked,

''We are vampires. If we eat normal food, like a mortal, it turns o ask in our mouths, and if we drink wine, it leaves your mouth dry. We only drink from mortals. Come now, we must feed.'' Before she could answer in persue, he took her in his arms and transformed, and flew from the window.

-------------

Swooping in the dark sky, Dracula decided children were tonight's feast. He landed gracefully and let go of Anna, but not her arm. He led her to an old cottage and threw the window. There, in the dark room, was a small girl. Dracula led her to the sleeping child.

''Now, lower your head, to her neck, and open your mouth.'' Dracula encouraged her, she looked at him in horror,

''But that's a child!'' She hissed,

''And your point being? Just do as I say Anna!'' He laughed, she sighed, praying god would forgive her, and lower her face to the child's neck, opening her mouth, she could smell the blood, he fangs grew and she plunged her teeth into the child, the child gave a tiny cry of pain, Dracula watched in amusement,

''That's it...now suck.'' He whispered, putting his hand onto the small of her back. Anna drained the child. She stood up once she had finished, and then realised what she had done,

''I just killed an innocent child!'' She gasped in horror,

''It feels horrible at first Anna, my dear, but soon you will not give a toss who you kill. Now, come, I must feed.'' Dracula transformed once again, took Anna, and left the peaceful child.

-----------------------

After they had both had their fill, Dracula swooped down into the castle, Anna jumped away from him, and stood her distance,

''Why do you still fear me? Anna, have I made you feel...uncomfortable?'' He smoothly asked. Anna shuddered,

''No! You do not scare me! Only a fool would be frightened of a person like you! You are nothing but a child in a mask!'' She hissed,

He chuckled, taking Anna into his arms.
