Hello loyal reviewers!! I am back with chapter 9!! Let me know what you think! Read and Review! This chapter goes out to Nelia and Katie!! Luv ya guys!!

ALEERA'S POINT OF VIEW:

Oh Hell! I can't believe…that was my fault! She's…dead! I killed Cassidy! I let out a loud howl of mourning! Verona and Marishka glided in and grabbed my shoulders. "Aleera, darling, what is the matter?" Verona cried. I sobbed and chocked on my blood red tears. Marishka looked over the balcony and let out a shriek. Verona flew to the edge and saw the lifeless body of the little broken Cassidy. Verona threw her arms out and Marishka and I flew to her and huddled tightly against her, crying out Cassidy's name. The Master will be furious with me!

DRACULA'S POINT OF VIEW:

My Brides' wailing cries awoke me from my thoughts. Something is wrong. I can feel that something is terribly wrong. I transported myself from my room to where the girls were. When they saw me, they glided to my side and cried into my shoulders. I stroked their hair and cooed into their ears. "My loves, what is wrong?" I asked. "Oh, Master! She fell!" Verona cried. I frowned. "We do not know if she lives!" cried Marishka. "Who?" I asked in wonderment. "Cassidy!!" They all sobbed at once. Cassidy? I pushed them away and stared at them with confusion and fury. "Where is Cassidy?" I demanded. They whimpered and looked towards the balcony. I glared at them before walking cautiously towards the balcony.

I was not ready for the scene that lied before me. Cassidy was at least 4 stories down, sprawled lifelessly on the ground. I let out an agonizing, unholy cry and turned into my fierce bat-form. Flying towards the ground with amazing speed, I folded my wings around me and landed gracefully next to Cassidy, changing back to my human form. I knelt down beside her and looked my little dove over. Her hair was thrown crazily around her and she had fallen into a rosebush. The thorns had torn at her face, arms, and legs, leaving bloody cuts everywhere. I felt around her stomach and sighed. Three broken ribs. I caressed her cheek and placed my other hand between her breasts. Thump…Thump…Thump…I sighed in relief. She was alive, but just barely. I lifted her fragile, broken, yet beautiful body into me arms and kissed her delicate forehead. I lifted up into the air and flew up to Aleera's balcony.

When I landed, I glared daggers at my Brides. They whimpered in fear and began to back up as I advanced on them. "Who is responsible for this?" I tried to ask as calmly as I could. They only huddled together and sobbed even more. They dare not answer me? "WHO?? ALEERA, MARISHKA, VERONA?? WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS???" I screamed, my fangs glowing. They hissed with unspeakable fear and backed up against the wall. "So, are you implying that I should just…give a little…"talk" to each of you until you tell me?" I asked. I have never hit any of them and I don't want to, but if they refuse to answer me…I will take more extreme measures. All of a sudden, Aleera stepped forward…more like stumbled forward. "Aleera?" I said incredulously. "She slipped Master! I…" I put a hand up to hush her. I didn't want to hear it. At least not now. I left the room for my quarters.

I entered my room and walked behind a transparent curtain that hid my master four-poster bed. You're probably wondering why I have a bed. Well, I have it for…special reasons. I gently laid Cassidy down on the bed and looked at her. What was I going to do with her? I should probably undress her and try to heal her wounds. No. If she found out I undressed her…she would most likely never speak to me again. I decided to let Verona handle the undressing and Thomas can do the healing. I called in Verona and Thomas. Verona came right in right away and wrapped her arms around me. I kissed her cheek and called Thomas again. What was that idiot doing?

He finally stumbled in and glanced around confused. He landed his eyes on Cassidy and walked forward. "Cass…" He whispered. "She fell 4 stories. She has cuts all along her body and she has three broken ribs." I explained in a low voice. "Verona, you will undress her and clean her wounds and Thomas…I want you to find whatever you can to heal those cuts!" I hissed. Verona rubbed my arm and I calmed down a bit. "Now get to work…both of you…I have some business to attend to." I commanded. Leaving the room to them, I headed towards Aleera's bedroom.
