14. To kill or not to kill
The next two days passed by like a train. On this morning Dracula came into my room. I was sitting on the bed and held Róse in my arms. She was crying as if she knew what was going to happen. I couldn´t do anything to make her stop crying.
Her father sat down beside me. Carefully he took her in his arms and held her close. "I hope you know that you want to kill your own daughter!", I said cooly. To my surprise Róse was calm now. She lay there in Draculas arms completly silent. "She´s our child, Vladislaus. I always wished for a child. But I had never imagined that you could be the father."
He said nothing. He only sat there and held her. For one moment I thought a single tear escaped his eye. "I just ... can´t", he whispered. I used his first moment of weakness to grab her.
Now I held Róse in my arms: "I see you can understand what I feel. Please, don´t kill her." He embraced me. We had to look like a family now. "You are right. We keep her."
"Thank you!", I said in return and kissed him deeply. It felt so good. I didn´t know how I could stand such a long time without being in his company. "Have you tried to feed her, yet?", asked Dracula. I nodded: "Many times, but she´s never hungry."
"Maybe she needs something else", he said, "Did you ever think about the fact that she might be a vampire?" My eyes were widened in shock: "This can´t be true."
"Titiana, there is no other reason. I am a vampire, you are nearly one..." He took the knife that lay beside my bed and made a small cut in his wrist. Before I could stop him he placed his bleeding wrist over Róse´ mouth. She drank the blood. I couldn´t stand this looking and turned away.
After I was sure that it was over I allowed me a look. Róse had fallen asleep. "Why did you do that!", I yelled at him. He took my hand and we walked outside. "Don´t wake her up."
I ignored his comment and kept on yelling: "How dare you feed her with your blood? Do you want that she becomes one of your kind!"
"She is already a vampire. And she will die if she doesn´t get enough blood. I´m sorry if I scared you but she needs blood", Dracula said quitly. "I see having a child with you is a mistake." - "If you think so." - "I´m sorry", I said, "It´s just... I can´t believe that my own daughter is a vampire." Suddenly my eyes were filled with tears but I hold them back.
"It´s all my fault. I should have told you before we...", he said. I shook my head: "No. It doesn´t matter what you are or what she is. You make me the happiest woman in the world."
He pulled me in a passionate kiss. I had laid there in his arms for hours, it seemed. But every moment comes to an end. So this one did.
"We have to go hunting again. Do you come with us?", asked Dracula. "When Róse comes with you I will do the same. But I won´t touch blood again", I answered, "This night?" - "Yes. Róse is hungrier than I thought. I´ll come to your room tonight and take you with me. You should rest until then."
So I went back into my room and waited until midnight.
Thanks again for the reviews. You know: 5 reviews and you can read the hunting scene... I won´t be angry if I get more:))
