Chapter 14

Verona sighed outwardly Ava was wide eyed,

"Is all of this true?"

"All of it! From the beginning to the end!" a snap made Ava jump and Verona replied,

"Aleera, Marishka so good of you to barge in…I have told her what she needed to know…would you like to add anything?" she taunted coolly her eyes flashing.

"No…where is the Master? Marishka and I have looked high and low, but he is nowhere in sight!" Aleera demanded.

Marishka nodded in consensus behind her,

"My sisters, the Master is away on business at the time being…do not worry…"

"Oh, he told you did he?" Aleera snarled her fangs long.

"Please! Do not quarrel my sisters!" Marishka begged,

Aleera howled in outrage and bit into Marishka's neck viciously until Marishka fell dead on the floor, her body withered from lack of blood.

"One down…two to go…" Aleera panted licking Marishka's blood off her lips.

"TRAITOR!" Verona roared turning into her demon and Aleera did as well.

Ava fell to the ground and backed away in horror as the two vampires fought each other to the death.

Verona fell to the ground Aleera poised over her a wicked smirk on her face,

"Be happy in the knowledge that I shall weep over your dead body…" she roared in victory and ripped Verona's throat out killing her immediately. As Verona mimicked Marishka's death, Aleera went to her knees and wailed in misery,

"VERONA! MARISHKA!" fake tears streamed down her face and she cowered to the ground moaning in agony.

Katie was about to respond when Dracula let out an earsplitting howl and fell to the ground roaring in agony,

"MARISHKA! VERONA! NOOOO!"

Katie fell to the ground next to him and shouted,

"What's wrong!"

Dracula's face darkened his fangs long and horrid eyes murderous red,

"Aleera…" he grabbed Katie by the wrist and teleported to the very room where Aleera lay on the ground weeping in misery.

"Aleera darling come to me…" Dracula purred and pushed Katie away gently over to where Ava cowered,

"Master! She…she…that whore! She killed them and she tried to do me in! Thank goodness you have come!" she wrapped her arms around him and wailed into his cloak.

Dracula gave both Ava and Katie a warning glare and they both catching the hint fast covered their ears and eyes and turned away from the horrific scene that was about to take place.

"Shhh my love, it will be okay…I am here…" his mouth was on her neck, his fangs sharper than they had ever been.

"Oh Master…what ever are we to do? It is only you and I now!" Aleera kissed his neck and howled as Dracula snarled and bit into her flesh,

"Don't you mean it is only Ava, Kathryn and I?" he drained her of her blood and threw her carcass to the ground howling in agony.

All three of his brides were dead…for good…

Ava looked from behind her hands at Katie's stricken face and whispered,

"I'm sorry…I understand everything now…"

Katie nodded wordlessly as Ava and looked at Dracula fearfully.

"What is going to happen to us?" Ava nudged.

"I haven't the slightest clue…I only hope it isn't bad…"

Dracula rose from the ground, brushed himself off and looked to where Ava and Katie cowered with wide eyes.

"Kathryn, Ava come to me…" he beckoned a warm smile on his face.

The girls looked at each other questioningly, shrugged and crept cautiously up to Dracula.

"I believe, my loves, we have some confessing to do…" he looked into Katie's eyes and grinned ironically.

"Familiar no?" Katie smile weakly and confessed,

"I do Dracula…I do love you…happy?"

Dracula's grin burst into a beaming smile,

"Yep! Ava…"

Ava bit her lip and yelped in pain,

"Ow…what? Am I supposed to say something?"

Katie laughed and whispered in Ava's ear,

"Oh yeah! Okay…I confess that…I want to be a full vampire…"

Dracula laughed at the expression on her face and hugged her tightly,

"I can do that…" he sliced his wrist and went on,

"To become a full vampire, you must drink at most a quart of blood, I only gave you an ounce before…if you truly wish to become a creature of the night…drink my blood now…"

Ava nodded a look of disgust on her face as she brought her mouth to his wrist and drank his blood.

"Good, now you are a vampire…" Dracula said in a business like way.

Ava and Katie now both looked at one another and smirked,

"Your turn…"

Dracula held up his hands and smiled wide,

"All right, all right!" he grasped Katie and Ava's hands and looked to the high ceiling with determination on his face.

"You know better than I do that I am a big sinner…forgive me…and I give myself to you…at last…"

A bright light filled the dark room and a Great Voice boomed,

'Son of Valerious the Elder, you have been forgiven, go now into the world and walk down the path of righteousness, you still have the look of a vampire, but you no longer must drink the blood of the living to live...my children...go now into the world and do as you will with your new freedom.'

The light vanished leaving the trio holding each other's hands,

Dracula's face split into a beaming smirk,

"Who is getting breakfast?"

Katie made a face and replied quickly,

"Not me!"

Ava still looking at the ceiling in awe felt someone tap her on the shoulder,

"Huh? What!" she snapped turning her eyes to Dracula and Katie's identical smirking faces.

"Breakfast is on you…" they laughed in unison and hand in hand waltzed from the room with beaming faces.

"Hey! No fair! What am I supposed to get?" she cried angrily racing after their laughing forms into the morning sun.

Dracula panting stopped in therays of the rising sun,as did Katie, and Ava bumped into them and fell to the ground,

He helped her up and pulled them both into a loving hug, kissed them both and exclaimed with gleaming eyes,

"We are free, free at last…and I am the luckiest man in the world to have two beautiful, loving brides…"

In unison Ava and Katie kissed him on his cheek and whispered in his ear,

"Guess what? Your heart is beating…"
