DRACULA'S POINT OF VIEW:

"Cassidy?!" I growled. She should not be out of bed! What is wrong with this girl? Did she want to injure herself even more? I fled the empty room and transported myself in front of Thomas. He jumped at the suddenness of my arrival. I rolled my eyes and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt. "Where is she?" I bellowed. "Who?" He croaked with fright. "Cassidy, you dumb twit!" I screamed. "I don't know! Isn't she in bed?" He asked with a gasp. "If she was in bed, I wouldn't be asking for her would I?" I replied, dropping him to the floor. "Search the palace…when you find her…bring her to me." I commanded before leaving the room. I placed a stray piece of my raven hair behind my ear and clenched my fists at my side. My Brides were fighting, Thomas was still an idiot, and Cassidy was missing! What next?

I stopped, suddenly. I heard music. Haunting music. The grand piano? I followed the sound down dimly lit hallways. As I neared it, a sweet smell filled my dead lungs. Cassidy. She was playing the piano. I came to door that imprisoned the sound and put my hand on it. Gently gliding my hand down the soft wood, I could feel Cassidy's beautiful heartbeat. So slow and gentle it was. Carefully opening the door, as not to disturb her, I stepped inside and landed my eyes upon her. She was sitting at the piano gliding her fingers over the ivory keys with such ease. A could not help but be drawn to this beautiful creature…even though I wasn't exactly happy about the Chinese Crystal Lamp she broke.

As I neared her unnoticed, I breathed in her warmth. She finished the song and sighed. I bent down next to her ear and whispered seductively, "Well played, my love." She jumped up and shrieked. I chuckled a bit, but soon stopped when I saw her clutching her ribs in pain. "I'm sorry. I just couldn't sleep, so I took a walk." She said, her voice soft and fragile. "I win." I said with a smirk, as I stepped towards her. "Excuse me?" She asked with furrowed brows.

She was so innocent and yet so fiery. Trust me. I have seen what she can do. "You spoke to me. I win." I said, as I was mere inches from her. I could feel her heartbeat speed up and I frowned. "You are afraid. Do not fear me, Cassidy." I pleaded. She took a step away from me. "You give me reason to, Count," she finally said. I frowned and advanced on her. Who was she to talk back to me? "Really now?" I asked interested. She rolled her eyes and turned away. I materialized behind her and wrapped my arms around her waist. She gasped and tried to pull away, but I held on tightly, but careful enough not to hurt her. "Your heart is beating wildly inside of me, darling, and I must say it feels quite…intoxicating." I whispered, as I lowered my lips towards her neck.

She suddenly tore away from me and glared. "What are you trying to do? I don't understand!" She yelled. "Trying?" I asked amused. "I'm not trying at all, dearest. I know that you will give into me willingly, given time." She just shook her head and crossed her arms. "One…no I don't and two…why are you even trying to get me to give in?" She asked with her head tilted. "You know why. Can you honestly look me in the eye and tell me you don't want it? That you don't feel it?!" I said, motioning around us with my arms. "Feel what?" she asked exasperated. "The passion!" I growled. She cringed at my outburst and I immediately regretted it. "Listen…I don't know why or…how this all started between us…but it must end…now." She said softly. What? Why was she denying herself so? "You don't mean that, Cassidy. I know you want it. I know you feel it." I accused seductively. "Ok…I admit, I did feel something…but not anymore." She said with a shed of one of her sweet tears. I gently brushed away her tears and traced her jaw line.

"Look at me and say you do not feel anything." I said, nearing my mouthto hers. She looked at me sadly and I knew she could break at any minute. "I don't feel anything." She said coldly. I knew she was lying. She knew it herself…but it still…it actually hurt me to hear her say those words. "All hope of salvage now devoid. I see the truth inside your eyes, Cassidy." I said softly as Ilowered my hand down her neck. "You can resurrect one thousand words to deceive me more and more, but all those words will just prove to you how wrong you are." She shook her head again in denial and more tears flowed down her perfect face.

"I know…" she answered with a sob. Well…I wasn't expecting that. "I know how wrong I am…don't rub it in…" she said with a small laugh. I chuckled and leaned my head against hers. "Give into me, Cassidy. Just give in." I whispered before pulling her into a fiery, passionate kiss. To my pure delight, she gladly gave in and kissed back. I pulled away and looked into her beautiful green eyes. I caressed her cheek and pulled her in closer to me, the warm, sweet taste of her lips still lingering on my icy ones. I couldn't take it. I pulled her back to me and continued the kiss.

'And I'd give up forever to touch you…'

I lowered my kisses down her tender neck. If I actually ever had just one chance to be in heaven…this would be it. Being in her embrace.

'Cause I know that you feel me somehow…

You're the closest to heaven…that I'll ever be and I don't want to go home right now…'

I once again captured her lips again in a searing kiss. She wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled me closer. "Cassidy," I breathed. She smiled into my lips and I tightened my grip around her waist.

'And all I can taste is this moment…and all I can breathe is your life…'

I picked her up and placed her on top of the piano that she had graced with her music just moments before.

'Cause sooner or later it's over…I just don't want to miss you tonight…'

I held her close and materialized us to my new bedchambers. She gasped as I put her down. She looked around my room in awe. For some reason, her look of joy made me happy.

'And I don't want the world to see me, cause I don't think that they'd understand.

When everything's made to be broken, I just want you to know who I am…'

She leaned into my chest and I swayed our bodies back and forth, as if dancing to unseen music. I leaned down to her ear and whispered, "Kindle my heart." She looked at me a moment before placing a tender kiss to my lips. It slowly deepened and I gently pulled her to the other side of the room.

'And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming, Or the moment of truth in your lies…

When everything feels like the stories, Yeah you bleed just to know your alive…'

I blew out all the candles before resuming the burning kiss with my sweet Cassidy, the morning sun begging to peek through my heavy drapes. Not today.

'And I don't want the world to see me, cause I don't think that they'd understand.

When everything's made to be broken, I just want you to know who I am…

I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am…'
