Hello loyal reviewers!! I'm back with Chapter 11! Read and Review pretty pretty please!! :)
DRACULA'S POINT OF VIEW:
"THOMAS!!!" I screamed for the third time. That boy better get here if he knows what's good for him. I heard the sound of frantic footsteps and a frantic heartbeat. That twit! Can't he run any faster? All of a sudden, he came skidding around the corner, tripped, and fell at my feet. "Careful now, Thomas. These are my favorite boots." I said, stepping away from his pathetic form on the floor. He grabbed his head and moaned. "Sorry Master," he managed to croak out while rising. I glared at him. Is there even a word to describe his pathetic state? Most likely not. "I am going out for a moment and I want you to go check on Cassidy." I said while buttoning my cloak around my neck. "But, Master, I have already…" I cut him off with a growl. "Check on Cassidy and I will come back soon!" I did not wait for a reply. I shifted into my bat-form and took off into the night.
CASSIDY'S POINT OF VIEW:
Mmmm…Am I dead? All around me was dark and I could not see a thing. Wait. My eyes are closed. I went to open my eyes, but I found I couldn't. It felt like there were weights attached to my eyelids. I gave another push and my eyes opened. Things began to come into focus. Unfamiliar things. Beautiful things. I looked around me. Colorful paintings. Golden tapestries and pillars. Oak chests and shelves adorned with all sorts of beautiful antiques. I was in a bed of dark red, silk sheets.
Am I in heaven? This must be heaven! I saw some windows and noticed it was nighttime. If this is heaven, then why do those windows need washed? Rather badly? This cannot be heaven. All of a sudden, a door on the other side of the room opened and in stepped Thomas. Right when he laid his eyes on me, he shrieked. "Cassidy!!" He cried. Yep! This is definitely not heaven. Thomas quickly ran to my side and looked at me as if he had never seen me before. "Oh my God, Cass, I thought you would never wake up! Are you sick?" He went on rambling. "What?" I managed to choke out. He put his handon my forehead. "Catch a fever?" He grabbed my hands and looked them over. "Get a hangnail?" "Thomas!" I yelled in annoyance. "I had one once…very painful." He murmured with a shrug.I shook my head and tried to sit up. A sudden shock of pain went through my chest as I did so and I shrieked in pain. Thomas was at my side immediately. He gently laid me back onto the bed and rubbed my arm. "You mustn't get up, Cass. At least not yet. You took quite a nasty fall." He said softly.
That's when it hit me. The kiss. The fight. The blood spill. Aleera. The balcony. Oh, the balcony. I fell. "Oh my…Thomas…how long have I been asleep?" I asked nervously. "Almost a week." He replied. A week? Wow! "Where am I?" I asked. He better get ready, because have I got a load of questions for him. "Budapest. The Master moved us out the night you…yes…well..." He trailed off. I looked down. The Master. Dracula. That thought ran a shock of fear, hate, desire, and happiness through me all at once. The last time I saw him was before the accident. He was hurting me and yelling at me. I shook it off and tried to crack a smile for Thomas. "Well, that's got to be the best and longest rest I have had in over 9 years," I exclaimed. He chuckled a bit and looked at me caringly. I felt a small force in my mind and I frowned as I heard a low voice whisper, 'Cassidy.' I looked around me in puzzlement. Thomas didn't say that and, well, I didn't say that! Who said that? I was getting ready to ask Thomas if he heard it, but he suddenly widened his eyes and slapped his forehead. "Oh, how stupid of me! I bet you're starving!" He cried. Forgetting the voice, I smirked. "Well…it's been a long week." I replied. "I will get you some food! What would you like? Uh…I have some cornmeal…" I made a disgusted face at that and he sighed, "Yes, I forgot you don't like that. Hmm. You know what? I'll just whip up everything we got! Wait here!" With that said, he dashed out of the room, forgetting to close the door behind him. I sighed and rolled my eyes. "Yeah, Thomas…where am I going to go?"
I settled into the warmth of thesheets and wondered. Why on Earth would they give me such a beautiful room? "Because you are worth it," an all too familiar voice said. I almost jumped out of my skin…and quickly regretted it. I cried in pain and clutched my side. My ribs! All of a sudden, Dracula was at my side and I was immediately in his arms. He whispered soothing words into my ear and rocked me gently back and forth. He then planted small, icy kisses on my face and neck. I almost got completely lost in his touch, before I realized what I was doing. I shoved him away and tried my very hardest to scoot away from him. He stared at me in disbelief. My heart skipped a beat as a rush of fury flashed across his eyes. He then shook his head and stood up. "I see you are still upset with me, Cassidy." He remarked. I didn't say anything…he would want that, I knew it. He looked me over a moment before asking, "Do you feel better?" I shrugged slightly and exhaled sharply. "You still refuse to speak to me, Cassidy? Why, love, why?" He pleaded. I wanted to kiss him and tell him that I wasn't angry with him, but I was and I had to keep my ground. He then got a playful glint in his eye and I frowned as he took a seat across from me. "Then I will stay here until you do."
