As Dracula looked down at the sleeping form of the girl he had rescued earlier he cocked his head to one side. He had called for the wife of the inn owner and let her clean and bandage the girl's wounds. Even though the window was open and the cloths used to clean up the majority of this young woman's blood were being cleaned downstairs, the scent of her sweet blood hung around her like a cloud.

It was the scent that had attracted him to her situation in the first place. He had just finished his meal and was busy roaming the streets when that smell had faintly come into existence. It was distant but something in the blood was strong enough for him to pick up even though he was a fair distance away.

Intrigued by just what it was that had demanded his attention so, he took flight and located this girl in the middle of a very bad situation. The smell of her blood was stronger where he landed and he could was able to pick up a trace of something in it that was both familiar and new. Whatever it was he was certain that this young woman was something more than human- even if only a small amount of her was so. He had only been a vampire for a few years and the hope of finding someone else who perhaps shared immortality or at least some of his knowledge was strong enough to give him a reason to intervene.

Even now, whatever was in this girl's blood remained a mystery, but after seeing her reaction to how he dealt with her attackers he was certain that she was not particularly well informed about his kind. Pity. If she was of no use to him in that sense than he could always drain her dry. If good for nothings else than her blood would make an interesting meal.

The vampire sat in the shadows of the room, his eyes fixed on the bed and it's inhabitant as he watched her carefully. Hopefully she would wake up before dawn. He could survive the sunlight, though it did make him very uncomfortable, so traveling was no problem. During the day he would simply draw the curtains and sleep in the shadows of the room. If the girl woke up in the daylight hours there was a chance he would not be so kind to her.

Authors Note: Thank you to all my reviewers! I'll take time to thank you all individually I promise, I'm just in a hurry today. I put this up to answer a few of your questions. I'm sorry it's so short but like I said- I'm short on time right now.

And to anyone who might be wondering because of the title of this- No Diana isn't an Angel. BloodAngel is refering to something that will happen later on.

Happy New Years to everyone. Much love!
