Chapter Twelve, By Mouse

Anna buried her face into his chest, so she never noticed his eye were open,

''I thought you had left me.'' He whispered, not loud enough for her to hear, but just to reassure himself, that she was back. His arms tightened around her, and he just lay there, taking in the scent of her hair.

He soon fell asleep, he would question her tomorrow, and get nothing but the truth.

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

The next night, they were in the library and he was stroking her hair when he suddenly asked,

''Where were you last night?''

''What do you mean?'' She said, not taking her eyes off the book,

''I...woke up last night and you were not there.'' He said, not taking his eyes off the book either,

''Oh. I...I couldn't sleep, so I went for a walk. Out in the gardens.''

''But the sun would have risen soon.'' Dracula was getting impatient.

''Well...I-'' She began,

''Just tell me the TRUTH Anna.'' He demanded, still keeping his eyes on the book.

''I went out riding. I had to see Van Helsing.'' She whispered. Dracula almost dropped her from his lap,

''You what? You deliberately disobeyed me!'' He angrily said,

''I went to tell him to leave us alone, that I just wanted to be with you.'' She whispered. Dracula smiled and rested his chin on her head. He didn't say anything else, they sat in silence reading.

Dracula ducked his head down and captured her lips, he suddenly felt warm again the moment she started to kiss him back. This time, he felt something...was it...a heart beat?
