A/N: Now when I say BRIEF I mean brief. It's a short chapter but it's only a short event. And I'm not going to mess with the way I'm separating things to make the chapters longer. I'm about quality not quantity.
Myra's eyes opened slowly. It was dark yet she knew just by the feel of the material around her that she wasn't in her room. Where was she then? She thought for a moment and then she remembered. She remembered about what had happened between her and Dracula. Her hand slid up to her neck where the two wounds had been and she had to repress a shriek as she felt that they had already fully healed.
As she began to wake up more fully she realized that she was lying down next to someone on a hard yet comfortable surface. Someone had their arms wrapped securely around her waist, as if to make sure she didn't move, although the touch felt almost protective to her. Despite this odd feeling she tried to wriggle free but soon realized that there was not enough room. Her eyes went wide as she soon realized what she was lying in and who was lying in it with her. Immediately she began to shake and her natural fear of small places caused her to whimper. Although it had been quiet it was just loud enough to wake up the sleeping Dracula that was lying next to her.
Dracula growled with annoyance of being woken up, although he had slightly expected it to happen. But to avoid any fights in the confined space he rolled his eyes and pretended to care. "Myra what's wrong?" he asked with fake gentleness. Hearing him and not seeing him made Myra shake even more than she already had been.
"I d… don't… I don't like small sp… spaces," she stuttered, and to his surprise, buried her face in his chest. He looked down at her and sighed.
"I forgot that about you… I'm… s… sorry," he said with some difficulty, as he somewhat meant it. Myra was even surprised with herself at what she had done, and quickly drew back in self-disgust. It was difficult to explain how, but she somehow knew that it was daylight.
"Let go of my waist… there's no way for me to go anywhere," she said coldly, trying to pry his hands off of her. He only tightened his grip.
"After creating a new Vampire I get tired. The chances of you getting up when the sun goes down while I am still asleep are very good. And I know you very well so I know that you plan on doing that. I am not stupid. And I am not letting go," he replied firmly. Myra growled.
She growled, upset with her own defeat.
"Now go back to sleep, you have a long night ahead of you," he said with closure as he himself fell back to sleep. With nothing else to do Myra soon fell back to sleep as well, with the unnerving thought of the "long night" ahead of her.
