Part XXXIII
Tina didn´t reply. She threw her arms around Kitana and hugged her friend tightly. "Hey! Don´t kill me again!", Kitana laughed.
"Kitana, please take care of yourself now. You´re still weak... And so am I!", said Anna and jumped on Tina´s back. "Ok! Allow me to correct myself: You´re not heavy, you´re fat!" Anna looked at Tina, probably in shock. "Really?", she asked.
"Of course not!", Tina said and started running through the room. The fat´ woman on her back let a scream out as she was about to fall. Finally she was let down again.
Kitana rose from the ground and walked over to the others. "How is Dracula? Did the potion work on him, too?", Tina asked. Anna shook her head.
"No...", she whispered and stormed out of the room. Dracula still leaned against the wall. Tina walked over to him, putting one hand on his cheek. "How is Kitana?", he asked.
"She is ok. But I must do something. I won´t let you die here!", she said and laid one hand over his wound. He hissed in pain. The stake was deeper in his chest than she had thought. "Can´t you heal yourself?", she asked and tried to reach the stake.
"...why... is that so important... to you?", Dracula asked slowly.
Tina looked at the ground for a while. Then she shook her head and replied: "It doesn´t matter. But Selindra needs a father. And you´re the only one who I want to share my child with." Now tears ran down her cheeks.
She held her neck on his mouth. "If it saves you, bite me!" Dracula did as she wished and drank much of her blood. But the wound didn´t heal.
Part XXXIV
"Vampire blood won't work," said Kitana. "The only way Dracula can heal is if he drinks blood from a human." All eyes turned on Anna, who looked around nervously.
"What?" she asked.
"Let Dracula bite you and drink your blood, Anna," said Tina. "It's the only way to save him!" Anna's eyebrows shot up.
"You can't be serious!" she cried.
"We are serious, Anna," said Tina. "He needs your blood. Let him bite you and make you his bride and he'll live! Please! For all our sakes! And if no for us at least for Selindra!"
Anna looked at the baby in Tina's arms. Selindra would grow up with out knowing a thing about her father if she didn't let Dracula bite her. The thought actually hurt. With a heavy sigh she folded down her collar so her throat was visible and walked up to Dracula. The vampire took Anna in his arms, brought his mouth down to her throat and bit.
"All we have to do is wait," said Kitana. "In a few minutes he'll be himself again. I know it." When Dracula finished drinking Anna's blood he stood up. His wound was gone and healed. He was himself again.
That was nearly the last chapter. One more chapter and then the story is done. Review and I´ll post the next and laster chapter soon.
