Sorry about all that, on with chapter 11!
Ralph walked into the cold night air breathing deeply, causing sharp pains in his lungs. He was determined to find the castle the vampire had told him Sophia was being held captive. He adjusted his cloak and walked to the black covered carriage on the drive.
He stepped into it and told his hooded driver to take him to the forest road and to stop half way; he would tell him where to go from there. The driver, who was covered in shadows, just nodded and snapped the reins to pull them out of the grounds and toward the designated road.
Ralph sat in the black suede bench of the covered carriage and looked at the fast moving scenery, thinking about his sweet Sophia the entire time. What kind of danger were these monsters putting her through? What kind of unholy acts was this creature Dracula making his innocent Sophia perform? Ralph shuddered at the thought. What would he do if she has been touched by another man before their wedding night? He shook his head, he couldn't think such things, he had to get her home and safe in his arms once again.
The carriage stopped suddenly and it jerked Ralph forward from his seat. "Are we already here?" he mumbled to himself, looking out the tiny window of the carriage. Then suddenly the carriage shook and he heard an all to familiar flapping of great wings.
He started to shake, "Driver, what is going on out there?"
"Why are you here?" a seductive whisper sounded from the shadows opposite him in the carriage.
"Who . . . who are you? I demand you show yourself!" he cried, trying to sound brave; he failed miserably.
But the figure in the carriage had no reason to show himself for a cloud had just moved away from the moon, causing an eerie glow to creep inside the carriage and shine directly on them. Ralph saw a man, with skin the color of parchment, silky white blond hair and sharp lavender eyes that were sunken in with dark circles around them, sitting across from him. Ralph let out a shocked gasp and made an attempt to jump out but an icy grip on his shoulder pulled him back inside.
"Do not run from me just yet," he demanded.
Ralph began to bang his fists against the carriages roof, "Driver! Driver, help!" he called pathetically. The man let out a laugh and said softly, "The driver can't help now for he's sitting right in front of you." Ralph stared at him to discover that he was smiling.
"What do you want with me?" Ralph asked shakily, not finding this the least bit amusing.
"I believe you wish to find a certain young lady. Oh, what's her name?" The man grinned at him once again and Ralph knew he was purposely trying his patience.
"Sophia?" Ralph asked slowly.
"Ah, yes! That's the one, Sophia! And I believe you are going to try and find her now this very night.
Tell me, sir, where you were planning on searching for her. The forest?" The man laughed at his own joke.
"I know what you are!" Ralph hissed. "You don't think I know, but I do! You demons have taken my Sophia from me, and I've come to find your castle and get her back myself!"
"Oh, really now?" The man had become serious and began to tap a finger on the tip of his chin. "And where have you learned all this information, human?"
"Wouldn't you like to know, vermin?" Ralph spat but regretted his words immediately. The man had grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and was now eye to eye with Ralph. Those eerie lavender orbs piercing the darkness.
"Never come near my home. Do not ever come near my friends, and never come back to search for her, she doesn't want you!" he grumbled with his smooth but dangerous voice.
"That's a lie! I will come back! With a whole army I will come back and kill you all if it that's what it takes!" Ralph screeched.
"Do not try false bravery it doesn't suit you boy, I know you tremble out of fear not fury."
"Why cant I have her have back? Please just let me have her back…" Ralph shuddered with the oncoming tears. "Why are you keeping her? You animals are so cruel! Your no better than that woman who came to my home!" he then broke into uncontrollable sobs.
Nicolae sat erect, what was he doing? Why was he treating this man so cruelly, he didn't know, he had no grudge against him. He sighed without meaning to and laid a hand on the Ralph's shoulder.
"I am sorry, but I assure you she is fine, and not all of us are as mean as we seem…" Nicolae said softly trying to reassure himself than the man in front of him.
"DON'T TOUCH ME DEMON!" Ralph yelled smacking at the comforting hand that Nicolae had lent.
Nicolae's lavender eyes turned from compassionate to furious in a second at the comment the man just spat in his face.
"How dare you call me such a name! You are no God you have no right to damn me to such a title! I shall only be called such a name if God himself finds it fitting to do so on Judgment Day!" Nicolae boomed. "Sophia is staying with us because she wants to! She is staying because she has no love for you! So for your health I suggest you leave here and never come back or for your insolence you shall perish!" Nicolae raised a hand and Ralph cowered and hid his head.
Ralph lay there on the floor of the carriage waiting for the hit from the sickly vampire who was standing over him, but it never came. He looked up from the shelter of his hands and saw that he was alone in the carriage with nothing but the sound of the cold breeze outside for company.
He struggled out of the carriage and landed in the mud. He then took the drivers seat and hurried back to his manor.
Hope everyone liked that chappie, and I cant wait to hear about how much you guys hate Ralph! Who goes around hurting Nicolae's feelings? The bastard!
