Chapter 4

"Remember …"

Selina called Linda using telepathy and requested her to arrive with Council's men. Linda didn't ask about what happened in details just promised to do all possible. And Selina was waiting in company of bad-smelling dead body. She had iron patience but she thought it finished. When she thought about it, black "Mustang" with toned windows arrived. Valdemar and Linda in white robes came out.

"I expected, it would be an army," – Selina grinned.

"Well, actually, we don't want someone to know about the body."

"I beg your pardon?"

"You heard me, Sel; you see ... That's our fault that monsters came out of control, so if we'll find a weapon which we can use against them, Council will forgive us," – explained Linda nervously and ashamed, while Valdemar tried to put the body into the luggage rack of "Mustang".

"I must tell it to Victor," – Selin shook head slowly. She was a strict adherent of rules and hated to break them.

"Sel, please, we need time! We'll tell him ourselves later."

Later? Selina heard this word many times before but gave in.

"Alright! Let's get out of here!"

She sat in the car near the driver's seat and Linda sat behind. Soon Valdemar put the body on the seat near Linda.

"Hey! What is it doing here!" – She cried in disgust.

"He is too big for luggage rack! Calm down!" – Answered man tiredly.

"Oh, yeah, what a great company," – mumbled Linda and turned on conditioner to the highest mode.

The way to the castle they spent in silence. Selin was thinking about her rescuer. She had got strange feeling about him. Like she knew him for all her hundred fifteen years of life (or death). But she waved it away. Selina has always constrained her heart with ice and disgust to people.

She hated weakness and blocked her mind from others.

Vampires arrived to the castle before sunrise. Linda and Valdemar hid the body and locked the door to laboratory. Selin closed eyes on it. She was awfully tired and laid into her coffin when came back. Sel didn't ask about Lora's health because she sensed her on distance. She slept for the whole day and awoke after the sunset. Strength came back to her and she was almost starving. Selina opened fridge and took a bottle full of blood, second group as usual. Much better. She wanted to meet Victor and to ask about an assignment for her, but heard cold and familiar voice:

"Hello, Miss Kale, I have some time now, and if you want to hear about how I turned you, come to my apartments."

Selina smiled to herself. Something told her that there would be more than just a talk. She left her room and found his, for important guests, using her intuition. Sel entered the room carefully like sneaking. The room was dark as hers but furniture was richer and more luxurious. Black heavy blinds covered the single window, coffin made of the red wood encrusted with gold, big bed covered with red silk covering, a wardrobe, an office table, two black leather armchairs and candelabrum.

Count was sitting in the armchair. Selin lowered on one knee as required etiquette and rules of hierarchy. Dracula offered her to sit opposite him and when she did it, he started to speak:

"First, tell me what you remember about your past, Miss Kale."

"Almost nothing, just you and the flame around me. But how the fire connected with you, Count?"

"I've already asked you to call me Vladislaus; "count" is very official."

"I'm sorry."

"Don't apologize, you did nothing wrong."

Selina felt nervous, he looked at her acutely. She breathed in deeply as she always did when she needed to calm down.

"So you can call me Selin."

Vlad smiled and continued speaking:

"Forget about etiquette. Relax. So you asked about the fire? I'll explain everything. It was in 1895 on the railway. We both had been going to San-Francisco by train. But there was an accident. The weather was rainy and the road was ruined with water. Old railways were dangerous in such weather. According to this, the train crashed. It was an awful accident. Everyone had died in that fatal night. Expect me of course, I had been already dead. I took off the flame and saw you lying on the ground."

"I was unconscious?"

"No, but you was dying. You had a wound in your head, the brain was damaged, and I suppose that's the reason of memory loss, your blood was everywhere. You were deadly pale and breathless. I sensed that your heart was stopping. So I turned you to a vampire…"

Selin started to remember, first horrible sound of train's crashing, then Dracula's cool breathing and even the taste of his blood. She rubbed her temple and automatically touched her neck. Dracula rose from the armchair and went to the middle of the room, staring at the woman. She came closer to him and said softly:

"I guess I should thank you for my rescuing."

They were dangerously close, feeling each others breathing.

"Maybe …" – he whispered seductively, smiling devilishly charming. Space between them became shorter and shorter. Her blue eyes looked into his deep and dark orbs. Suddenly their lips met. Vlad kissed her passionately and with hunger, and Selina answered. His tongue explored 'new territory' and she allowed him, caressing his chest. He continued kissing her neck and chest. Selin moaned in bliss, pleasuring him. She forgot about pain, just his touches and kisses. But they were only kissing, nothing more. He knew she needs time to know him better. He was enchanted by her strength and fearless. Vladislaus felt like ice, that covered his heart, melts. Selina felt his fire and let it to burn her inside. Could it be love?
