Chapter 3
The skirmish in the cemetery
"I'll never leave you alone!" – promised Dracula kissing Selina's neck. They spent the whole night and day in each other's grasp. After the long waiting they got what they both wanted. Sel even looked fresh and cheerful, without those awful rounds under eyes, which she could hardly hide under the make-up.
"Vlad, you know I found out few things about my past."
He stopped kissing her for a moment.
"Really? What exactly?"
"Well, I was a toiler without any other interests besides career … Do you think I've changed?"
He kissed her lips once again and stared into her eyes.
"No matter, I love everything in you. And in my opinion you haven't any defects."
"Flatterer."
"I know, but don't say you don't like it."
She gave him a quick kiss and set on the bed.
"It's so dark. What time is it now?"
"Who cares?"
"I planned to visit the cemetery …"
"The cemetery? How … interesting …"
"Yes, very. I need to give the last duty to my family … you think it's funny?"
Vladislaus set, too, and took her by chin, then rose from the bed and started wearing.
"You haven't answered my question, yet."
He sighed tiredly, rumpling his white (A/n: 'Unpredictable me! Dracula in white!') silk shirt.
"Vla-ad …"
He faced to her.
"Selin, I don't think you should do it …"
She snaked her hands around his neck and put head on his chest.
"I became sentimental, I know …"
"And predictable … well, go where you want, I can't forbid you, but, please, be careful."
Selin put a bucket of black tulips on her sister's grave and again glanced at hers. There were few red roses, looking so lonely on dull scenery.
"It seems Caleb remembered about his second great grandmother."
She was ready to go, but stopped and said so loud that everyone could here:
"Don't hide! I know you here, cowboy!"
Gabriel stepped out of the shadows.
"I want to talk."
"Oh, I know as usual …" – Sel whispered tiredly.
"And you know, I'm not guilty. Maybe you'll speak more soft?"
"Maybe you'll surrender to the Council?"
They both shut up, thinking what to reply.
"How's your friend, who was pregnant?"
"Fine. It's a girl."
"Your friend? I'm in course."
"No, the child!"
"Ah, right. What's her name?"
"Angelica."
"Good name for the girl."
"No, the girl's name is Diana. Typical witch's name."
"Ah …"
After the pause …
"You're still with … him?"
"Yes, and I finally enjoy my life!"
"Good …"
Few seconds past.
"M-m, Van Helsing …"
"Gabriel."
"Whatever … have you heard anything … about the ancient power?"
"Not much … cardinal called it 'the devilish vice', so what?"
"Nothing …" – sighed Selin, pick up the flowers from the grave and breathed in the scent.
"Your work?"
"Yeah, I hoped it'll cheer you up."
"Nice, very, and thank you for saving Angelic."
"Well, with a knife near my neck it's easy to be a hero."
They laughed like old friends.
"You learnt to laugh!"
"Very funny … ha, ha, ha …"
Suddenly Gabriel put hand on her shoulder and pressed to the ground.
"What are you doing?" – she flinched furiously.
"Get down!"
"What!"
"I said: GET DOWN!"
They dived beside the gravestones just in time, as the fire was opened by them.
"Your friends!" – cried Sel, trying to cover the noise.
"No, I guessed yours!"
"I'll check!"
Vampiress extended her hand and got a bullet in it then took it out, wincing from pain.
"Great way!"
"Look! It's covered with silver! They're hunting on you!"
She rose above the grave stone.
"Selin, what're you doing!"
"I'm escaping. Have a nice … night, hunter!"
She lost vigilance and got a bullet in her abdomen, as she had no time to take it out, she flew into the sky. The wound healed up (the bullet stayed inside) and Selina forgot about it.
"O.K., now back to Vlad."
