ORIGINALLY, THIS WAS CHAPTER 2, BUT I FOUND MY ORIGINAL CHAPTER 2, AND I REPLACED IT IN CHAPTER 2'S SPOT. SO, READ CHAPTER 2.
Before you read, please consider this: I really do enjoy feedback. It helps me understand what I could do to make the story better. Just think about that. I would really be generous if you just put a small review there – nothing fancy.
Disclaimer: I do not own Van Helsing, nor do I own any other Dracula. I own Alexis Dracaena and her followers. But, I really do wish that I could own that sexy man; what I find funny is, that in Bram Stoker's Dracula, the guy that plays Vladislaus is really sexy, but when you watch him in The Fifth Element…..OMG….he's disastrous. Also, this is just me, but don't you think that Johnny Depp would make a good Vladislaus?
Special Thanks to my first two reviewers. I'm glad that I got some good feedback on this story! Also, special thanks go to Remember, my favorite fan fiction writer. Also, special thanks go to Lady Eli. If you haven't read any of Remember or Lady Eli's stories, then I will tell you about them. Rekindling an Old Flame was written by remember, and it's an awesome story. Also, she's got the prequel and the sequel out to that very story. She's also written three other Dracula/OC stories that will really blow your mind. Lady Eli has a story out called Abigail's story. It's a fanfiction for Master and Commander, so it must be good.
Remember: Flipping awesome! I love it! It's hilarious! U must update soon! I won't be able to review for the next two weeks... due to the fact that I will be on Winter Break and have no internet access... but whatever! I'll be waiting for your story!
-Remember-
Lady Eli: I loved it. It does have a good base, and I like that you combined the real Romanian songs with the story. Please write more soon! I really like that it's in play format, it seems very appropriate for the story.
Me: Well, it seems like we got two reviews for the story!
Dracula: Yeah, and I get to come into this chapter, right?
Me: Maybe…I'm still thinking.
Dracula: Don't think woman, do!
Me: Oh, shove it!
Dracula: Shove it! Say that to me, Vladislaus Draguila!
Me: Yes, I do! I say it to Vladislaus Dragypoo!
Dracula: How dare you discriminate my name!
Me: Oh, I'll do more than that in future chapters…. (Coughs) Lemon
Dracula: There you go with the fruit again. Whatever you have planned, it better not involve a fruit.
Me: Oh, it won't involve a fruit
Dracula: Then what are you talking about!
Me: You'll see…..now, ON WITH THE STORY!
Dracula: Yes….?
Oh, and I am so happy! I got Van Helsing for Christmas. Along with my MP3 player and my movies and clothes, I've had a truly amazing Christmas. Merry Christmas!
Alexis woke up that morning, feeling a bit better than she did the night before. Her body, her hair, and her bed sheets were completely fine; the incident that happened lat night, in fact, was completely gone from her mind. It was as if it had never happened.
She sat herself up and stretched her arms.
Alexis: (Yawning)
What a wonderful sleep
Laying her body back onto the bed, she sighed, breathing in a long breath of air. She hadn't truly had a morning like that in ages. Ever since she had come to her grandmother's home, her nights had been restless. She remembered her first night here vaguely. She and her grandmother had been talking about a strange creature, a wolf perhaps, running wild throughout the village, and killing the farmers' livestock. Boy, she couldn't get that thought off her mind. She kept hearing loud noises and seeing weird things; she couldn't go to sleep at all that night.
She looked towards the window.
Alexis: (Gets up from bed, walks over towards the window, and places her hands onto the ledge)
Oh, I wonder what I'll be doing today. Since I had a good sleep, then I guess I won't feel nasty when I go to work.
When Alexis went to her temporary job down at the pub in the village square, she'd usually feel really groggy and listless. But today, she felt like she climb the tallest mountain in Romania and still have enough energy to go to work. It was strange. What brought on this sudden change in mood? She expected to wake up and curse the sunlight for gracing her face; today, though, it was different.
Alexis: (Sighing passionately)
I guess I'll just have to make the best out of this day – this wonderful day.
The maid enters
Maid: (Showing Alexis a bathrobe, a brush, and her work dress)
¿Señora?
Alexis: (Turning towards the maid)
Yes? Oh, thank you.
(Walking to the maid and taking her accessories)
Muy bien!
The maid leaves. Alexis places her brush and work dress aside, and then she walked into her bathroom. There was a great amount of steam coming from it when she walked inside – almost brought her to tears.
Alexis: (Coughing)
I guess I'll have to remind the maid again, to never draw my bath first when I am to clean myself.
When Alexis first came here, this very thing had happened to her. The maid was really clumsy and always forgot small details. It really did bug her. She sighed. The steam was extremely thick; she couldn't see where she was going. Finding the tub was going to be quite hard.
Alexis: (Looking through the steam)
Oh, this is just great!
Her eyes now closed, due to the excess of steam in them, she flung her arms into the air and began to feel around the bathroom; her arms, however, wasn't what found the tub. While she was walking around the room like a blind person, she slipped upon a dish towel. It was only a coincidence that the towel led her directly to the tub; however, it wasn't the way she wanted to find it.
Alexis: (Falling into tub)
OH NO!
Her body froze almost instantly when she fell into the tub. She had fallen face first into the water, and when she did, she found herself freezing. This was strange. Everything else was steaming hot, yet this water wasn't. She didn't feel like getting up, so she just sat in the water, wearing her night gown. Her hair was straddled about all over her face, and she was furious; though, you really couldn't tell because of all the steam that was hovering around her.
Alexis: (Blowing some hair out of her face)
That blasted maid. I'm going to talk to grandmother about her.
Eventually, after a few moments of thought, Alexis stepped out of the tub. She was really going to have a blast when she talked to her grandmother about that stupid maid. For goodness sake, from the very first day she had arrived here, she had been prey to that maid's clumsiness. And she knew it. She also knew that the maid knew this. That's why she wanted to have the maid fired.
She drained the water from the tub. The steam soon vanished after that, which made it easier for. Yes. She could finally see the contents of the room There it was, her beautiful sink and dresser, which carried with it her most precious of items. Her makeup; her powder; her hair care products, and everything that she loved to use on her body lay in front of her. She couldn't help it. She was truly an egotistic girl; but only when she was preparing herself.
Walking to the dresser, she looked at herself in the mirror. Oh, wasn't she a sight for sore eyes. Her hair was soaking wet, and her night gown was just as wet as her hair. Boy, it was going to take a long time for her to get this done with. She looked down at her products and began her daily process: choosing which things to use. But wait; there was something there that she hadn't seen before – something odd. It was a ring – such a beautiful ring. It was silver, with three diamonds encrusted in the top. She picked it up. She didn't know why, but something drew her in to placing the ring on to her finger. This ring held some sort of spell over her.
Alexis:
This ring….so strange.
(Taking the ring off and placing it in her pocket)
I better keep that in here. I wouldn't want the maid getting a hold of it.
Alexis stared into the mirror and began to fix herself up; however, she really wouldn't need to, for what was soon to come, would dishevel her in more than one way.
Well, I really hope you liked my second chapter. I know, I took a while to update, but I was busy. With all the Christmas festivities and such, I've been away for a while. Well, I hope you liked it. Bye.
