Chapter Eleven, By Mouse
Dracula decided not to get angry. He had taken it too far. He had pushed her into a pillar earlier. Now he had insulted her brother,
''Please, do not be angry, so many people are angry at me. (A/N Great, I had to put that in just like the MOVIE!) I am truly sorry, I should not have taken this to that level.'' He did look utterly sorry, like a puppy, who had just been scolded. Anna looked down, the tears stained her cheeks and she looked over to the necklace,
''I should not have broken the necklace. I am sorry too.'' She whispered.
''Do not worry.'' He held out his hand, and the necklace seemed to fly to his hand, putting itself back together. He walked over to Anna, and placed the necklace on her once again. He turned her to face him, and for a moment, time seemed to stand still. Her eyes, which were glistening, were still red from the pain he had placed upon her once again. His eyes, seemed darker pools than before, seemed to dance. The candles on the walls seemed to dance on the walls with joy, the only two people in the room, were in love, but did not know this. Any body else who had been in the room, or are reading this, would plainly see the desire and love in their eyes.
He may be a monster...But I believe there is some darkness inside everybody, and he just cannot escape it. He isn't a monster in my eyes, Anna thought.
She is so innocent. She does not love me. She loves that damned Van Helsing! No, he is not damned...he is the luckiest man on earth. Oh...what I would give for her to look at me like she is now, but she is not looking at me like that, she is upset, Dracula's mind taunted.
Dracula was about to break off the eye contact, when he felt her small hands, slip into his large cold ones. Her hands....were so warm. No blood running through her veins, but care and love. His hands gently gripped onto hers,
''I wont ever leave you.'' She whispered. Dracula didn't know whether his ears were getting old and faulty, or he was actually hearing this beautiful woman tell him this, for the first time ever, he felt truly happy. Somebody, Anna, cared for him, and were not going to leave him.
''Thank you,'' He said, not a whisper, but not loud, ''But why would you want to stay with a monster like me?''
''You are not a monster. You are a sweet prince.'' Her eyes glowed, sending him almost crazy. His head lowered, and hers moved up. And for a sweet few moments, their lips touched, Dracula felt happier than any man ever could be, just by one kiss. Her lips were so soft, his cold, but seemed to warm up under hers, warmth spread down his spin. He felt warm again, after being cold since the day he damned his soul, he is warm. He must feel warm, never again shall he be cold. They broke off and Anna smiled up at her sweet prince.
''Thank you. You have made me feel warmth again.'' Dracula smiled. He smiled!
''I did?'' Anna seemed confused, but decided not to question it,
''Yes, and you are going to have to do it more often...'' He laughed. She looked down, smiling. He decided he would not mess this up. He would be careful.
''The sun will rise soon, and we do not want you to be harmed again.'' He said, lifting her chin up in his hand, he smiled and raised her eyebrows,
''Yes. And no more sleeping alone, no?'' She asked, laughing.
''Yes. No more sleeping alone.'' He tapped her nose. They walked down in silence to the chambers.
He helped her climb in, and joined her, and shut the lid.
''Sweet dreams Anna.'' He whispered. He did not hear a reply, because he fell asleep so fast.
---------------------------------------
Anna knew this may ruin everything, but she had to do it. She made sure Dracula was sleeping, and climbed out of the coffin and draped herself in a black cloak, looking at the clock, she knew only 2 hours to sun rise, but she still had time. She opened the door silently, and turned back and looked at Dracula's peaceful face,
''Sweet dreams, my sweet prince. I shall watch over you forever.'' She whispered and shut the door behind her. She swiftly rushed down the halls and to the gardens, she saddled one of the horse, and without looking back, she bucked it to start. She rode for 20 minutes, and quickly jumped off him, and tied him up. She stayed hidden and knocked the door softly, Carl's face appeared at the door,
''Anna?'' He gasped, but let her in, she pulled back her hood and walked in. She turned to face him,
''Where is Van Helsing?'' She questioned, Carl nodded, as if knowing and said,
''I'll get him.'' And hurried out the room. She heard whispering, then footsteps, Van Helsing stood before her,
''Anna?'' He said, just like Carl,
''Van Helsing. I have come to tell you that I must stay with Dracula and you must promise me you shall bring no harm to him.'' Anna stated,
''Why? Why must you stay WITH HIM?'' Van raised his voice, but not to shouting,
''He needs me. I know it sound odd, but I think I can help him. Do not worry, I am safe and I have you in my heart at all times.'' She stood up on her toes and kissed him. Not like the one she and Dracula had shared, but this was with feeling too. Sorrow. Without saying anything she turned and left.
She mounted the nameless horse and rode back to the castle. She put the horse back in the stables and quickly entered the castle, and entered their chamber. She took off the hood and climbed back in next to Dracula. He was still sleeping soundly, but his arms managed to wrap themselves around her waist. She buried her face into his chest and soon fell sound asleep.

I hope that was a good chapter!
Stay tuned for chapter twelve!
