Thank you! It means a lot to me that you like it! The next chapter will be a bit sad... or very sad. I nearly cried while writing it. I hope you still "like" it.
15. Lost
As Dracula entered my chamber I took Róse in my arms and walked with him to the balcony. He lifted me up and flew through the night into the village.
Vaseria was quiet. We walked to the middle of the village. There on the wall of a house was sticking a piece of paper. On it were written these words:
Wanted
"Couple of Murderes"
Dead or Alive
Money for the murderer of the "murderers"
"They are in search of us. It wouldn´t be wise to kill more of the people here. We go through in the forest and look for people in the next village", said Dracula. "No", I protested, "It´s too dangerous for Róse. There are wolves..." - "She will die if she doesn´t get enough blood!", he interrupted me.
"Do you want to kill her? Do you really expect from me that I will feed her to the wolves?" I woke Róse up with my yelling. She began to cry loudly. I pulled her closer to me and tried to make her stop crying. "Look what you´ve done. We go through the forest and that´s it!", said Dracula and we both walked on.
We weren´t in the forest for a long time but I could sense more than one presence. And I was more than sure that they were not human. "Why don´t we fly?", I asked quitly.
"The trees are too high. And the people could see us. They are outside at night", came his answer.
Suddenly I heared something behind me. I spun around while Dracula kept going. I tried to see what has happened but it was far too late. More than ten wolves jumped out of the protecting shadows of the trees. Slowly they began to circle me. Róse stopped crying. Her father tried to do something in order to help me.
"No, stay there! Or better go away! I won´t let them hurt you!", I screamed and turned to him. He stopped going and looked at the wolves. As he wanted to come closer I yelled again: "I want it! Please, Vladislaus, you have to escape. Do it for me!"
"I couldn´t forgive myself if something would happen to you", he said. "So would I do... Please, leave me", I said. After the last seconds of staring he disappeared. Then I wished I hadn´t said this.
I didn´t notice that the wolves already stood before me but as I turned again I did. Two of them came even nearer. I pulled Róse to me and closed my eyes, ready for the end. Nothing happened. I opened my eyes and saw that one of the wolves was the same I met before. But the other one... I couldn´t believe my eyes. It wore a silver necklace that seemed familiar.
"Mother...", I whispered. The now recognized wolf and the other one that was probably my father sat down. I bent down so I was on their eyelevel.
All of sudden my "mother" began to growl in Róse´ direction. Probably she knew who the father was. I moved backwards until I sat against a tree. Then everything went fast:
"Father" wanted to jump on me. In the same second Dracula flew towards me pulled me in the air. I could only scream as I noticed that my child wasn´t in my arms anymore. I looked to the ground and saw her lying in front of the wolves. I tried everything to escape Dracula´s grip but even if I could makeit, it would be too late.
I couldn´t see Róse. Only the pack of wolves that looked as if they were eating my own child. That was enough. I wept and cried the whole time before we landed again. After Dracula had released me I sank to my knees and cried so much and loud like I never did before.
My body was shaking violently. He pulled me slowly to my feet and embraced me. Softly he stroked my hair. But I couldn´t stop crying. The loss of our child was like a stake in my heart.
It didn´t matter if someone had seen us. I only wanted to cry my eyes out. More - I wanted to die!
That was it. No Róse anymore. -sobs- I hope you´ll review the chapter and keep on reading. I promise it´s not the end. Still 5 reviews or more until I update. And don´t be angry. It´s important for the story. At least you know now why he wishes for children in the movie. -still sobbing-
