Thanks for the reviews! So on with the story!
16. No sense of life
The next day I raced to the balcony and threw the doors open. I didn´t notice that Dracula was not far away. I closed my eyes and jumped over the balcony. Before I was about to hit the ground two strong arms caught me and carried me back.
With some screaming and kicking coming from me I fought against Dracula´s grasp. After he had led me down he started to yell at me: "Why did you do that! I understand that you are not happy about Róse´ death but it doesn´t give you any reason to kill yourself!"
This time I slapped him with all the power I got. But after he had realized what I had done he pulled me towards him and sank his teeth into my neck.
I tried to break free and push him away but it was like pushing a wall. I fought for many minutes but he did not stop. I got weaker with every try. The pain was incredible.
Even as I had no strength anymore and lay lifeless in his arms he drained more blood. Probably he wanted to cause the most greatest pain I ever felt. Finally he threw me aside. I wasn´t able to do anything but could still sense his actions.
He stared at my form. "What have I done?", he whispered. Dracula bent down and eyed me closely. Then he began to rock me. At first softly but than stronger.
"Titiana? ...Wake up!", he called to me. "Please, wake up!" Then it was silent. I could feel that he was still there but he didn´t move or speak. "I want you to wake up!", he screamed. His breathing got heavier. And then he began to cry. He collapsed on my half-dead body. His tears hit my face.
I wanted to wake up and tell him that I was still alive but it was impossible. My weakness didn´t allow me to breathe. Death reached for me with his claws. And then pulled me into darkness...
Dracula´s point of view:
I´ve never felt so alone in my life. Titiana had left me. AND ITWAS MY FAULT! I wanted to die, too. But something held me back. Maybe it was the monster in me, ... or something else? No, this was impossible. I couldn´t feel anything.
Finally I picked her up. Even in death she was beautiful. I had to bury her. So I carried her to the outside of my castle. But I couldn´t do that to her. Of course she was dead but the thought of seeing her lovely face nevermore made me feel sick.
There was a hole in front of the castle. I held her in my outstretched arms close to it. I placed a kiss on her cold lips and whispered: "Goodbye. May your soul rest in peace."
Then I laid her into the hole and walked back into my castle.
End of Dracula´s view
...Death stood in front of me and spoke: "I hope this fool of vampire feels terrible!" - "He´s no fool!", I yelled at him. "But he killed you. You should be angry." - "I am but..." - "I´ll give you one more chance. If you bring an innocent soul to me you can continue your life", he interrupted me.
"I won´t fall for that! I only want to know where my child is!", I yelled again. "You will see that you sooner or later will kill again." - "Where is my child!"
"In heaven. The fool killed her, anyway. And after that he killed you. If I was you I could never forgive him. And now back to life with you!"
I awoke in darkness. I had to lie in a coffin or something. I kicked the lid but it was closed. After a few seconds I was sure that Dracula had buried me. "HELP! HELP ME!" l, screamed over and over again. But nobody seemed to hear me.
After a long time I heared footsteps directly over me. Again I screamed for help. And this time someone dag in the dirt that was around the coffin.
Then someone opened the coffin and light floated in. I was not blinded by the sun. And in front of me stood Van Helsing. He took my hand and pulled me to my feet. "What happened? Why did you lie under the earth?", he asked.
"I was dead but then..." - "Now I know who you are! You belong to the Couple of Murderers!", he pointed at me like at a monster, "Titiana, I´m very disappointed."
This wasn´t the last chapter but the last one for some time. I have my Jugendweihe on Saturday and much stress after it. Jugendweihe is like confirmation in Germany but not with religion, church and so on. On this day I´m officially a teenager so this is a great day for me. I will update as soon as I´m able to. I hope you liked the chapter and leave many reviews for me while I´m gone. See you later -Angel-
