Sorry to take so long. I do not own VHD.
Chapter 4: Time to pay
A grotesquely twisted castle loomed in the darkness, although to the eyes that viewed it the darkness was bright enough. The creatures in the castle were about to learn a very harsh lesson from a harsh taskmaster. He slowly, purposefully strode to the shadow against shadow. He calmly drew his sword and opened the door with the power of his mind. The guards at the door only had a moment to look surprised as the Vampire King killed them with his mind. The guardians of the castle rushed to defend. They were slaughtered a quickly as they appeared, the dark marble floor was quickly becoming wet with blood. Some of the blood never touched the ground as the Vampire King took a drink. The remaining defenders quickly departed the castle knowing that death was imminent. The Vampire King allowed them to depart for at the moment he was after bigger prey.
The lady of the castle gracefully entered the hall sword drawn. "A weak King who fraternizes with the beasts is not fit to rule," she said coolly. "You will die by my sword."
Dracula merely stood his ground as the rebel vampire bore down on him. With a quick move of his arm the lady was cut into two. He calmly cleaned his sword and left the now crumbling castle to finish his work. With amazing speed he decorated the surrounding trees with the bodies of the guardians who had run out of the castle. This night he dunk his fill. One nights work was done, but there were still those who were rebellious with him. They would not be difficult to deal with. He smiled to himself and headed for shelter as the morning sun arose.
Tanya's head began to clear after being away from the vampire. She was stunned how easily he made her feel the way he wanted her to. But then again he was considerate to her. The villagers were talking about her constant nightly extensions, and suspicion ran high. And if her own suspicion was correct; if she was with child she would do whatever she could to protect it. She looked over at her Aunt. Tanya softly sighed at the sight of Cara who looked more careworn than before. How could she have been so selfish, so busy feeling sorry for herself that she could not see the sacrifice her aunt had made? Cara loved her niece so much that she was hard on her to make her leave the village. It was harsh yes, but it was done in love. And now Tanya knew why. Tanya was a tall, beautiful young woman with long dark hair, pale skin, and large blue eyes. Her Aunt had tried to protect her from the vampire. To late now.
After a few more weeks Tanya was certain that she was pregnant. She had talked to her Aunt and it was decided that if Dracula did not return within three months that Tanya would be sent to the city. They both knew that the villagers would kill the child out of fear. So Tanya waited afraid and unsure, knowing that she had been forced to love the vampire.
After three months of work the Vampire King headed home. Perhaps he would return to Tanya's warm embrace. It would not be hard to coerce her mind again. Besides he had began to care for the young woman. She had endured growing up an orphan in that little backwater, and she was starting to mature in her attitude. She would make a good companion for a centenary or two. Upon his return he would reclaim his lover.
Tanya's belly began to swell shortly after her talk with her Aunt. And close to the end of the second month Tanya's belly was noticeable even to a complete idiot. "Well from what I can figure you must have gotten pregnant when he first took you. So that would make you hmmmm let's see about six month's. Shit girl I don't know how I'm gonna get you out of town now. And you stayin' in the house is only making things worse. Damn!" Cara looked worriedly out the window seeming to look for some obscure answer. The setting sun made her uneasy. Tanya sat in the old rocker hand laid protectively over her swelling belly. "Gonna be a big baby," Cara mumbled to herself. A flicker of light and several movements in the darkening sky caught her eye, "oh no, Girl get yourself in the basement Now! We got a mob coming!"
Tanya slowly rose out of the chair and headed for the door that lead to the basement. But no sooner than her hand touched the doorknob that the front window suddenly turned red. She realized in horror that the red was blood. And the mob was being slaughtered. The room seemed to spin for a moment as a force touched her mind and her beloved stood at the door.
