A New Home

Chapter 5

Dracula quietly roamed the halls thinking about Alice, the little girl that was now occupying a room in HIS castle, the most FEARED vampire in the whole WORLD! Dracula growled and nearly punched a hole in the wall, but stopped himself as he heard a small sound that almost made him strain himself just to hear it. Dracula quietly but quickly came to the sound, which lead him to where Alice was sleeping. Dracula debated on whether to go and see what was going on or just walking away and let the girl suffer the consequences' for coming here. As Dracula thought about it, he cursed himself as his body moved on it's own like it had a mind of its own and went with the first option.

A surprise hit Dracula as he found Alice shaking, tossing, turning, and whimpering on the bed. Dracula betrayed himself as he walked closer and sat on the edge of the bed where Alice was facing him. Sweat drenched her hair, body, and bed. 'I guess there's one way to find out what is causing your self so much trouble.' With that thought, Dracula put his hand on Alice's forehead and slowly closed his eyes, seeing what Alice was dreaming of.

Alice was sitting in the middle of darkness clutching her head on her knees. Voices began to form around her of unknown people's faces and glares, and also those of the people in the Orphanage. "Why do you keep her? She's a monster!" "Stay away you monster!" "AHHHHHHHHH!"

Alice screamed and sobbed, trying to block out the noises but instead became weaker and weaker. Alice sniffled as she slowly sinked to the ground on her side curled up into a tiny ball, her black shorts and black shirt wrinkled from moving so much and a little bit wet from her non-stop crying and sobbing. "Why…" Alice whispered as she hugged her knees closer to her on the ground. "What did I do wrong…?" Dracula watched Alice and surprised himself to find two tear stains on his cheeks.

"..?" Dracula whipped them away hurriedly before looking back up at the dream in front of him. "…" Dracula quietly exited the dream after watching Alice cry for 2 minutes while mumbling the word 'Why?' over and over again.

Dracula now stood up hovering over Alice's small form. Dracula quietly shook Alice in attempt to wake her up from her nightmare. "AH!" Alice did a small quiet scream as she woke up to find Dracula's lightning ice blue eyes staring down into her own reddish brown ones. "Mm."

Alice whimpered and clutched onto Dracula's black coat and pulled him a bit too close for his liking. Dracula's right eye twitched but he didn't move. He let Alice hold him there for a minute longer before clasping his hands over hers and unclenching them from his coat. His eyes loomed over Alice's weak form before sighing and standing full height again, brushed coat of any imaginary dust and wrinkles. "I'll be back. I'll have someone watch over you."

With that said and done, Dracula walked out of the room and walked the hallway, searching for his blonde haired bride.

Alice was shaking with nervousness as she waited for Dracula to come back or the person he said he was getting. Alice sniffed softly and hugged her knees again. She rocked back and forth slowly and softly as she waited patiently for at least one person to come.
A soft yet loud knocking on the door surprised Alice as she lifted her head up from her knee caps. "C-c-come in." Alice whipped the tears off her face quickly to try and prevent laughter and gasped at whom she saw. The women in front of her looked young, but Alice believed that she was older then she looked.

The women's blondish brown hair was long and wavy, which made Alice believe everyone be attracted to her looks. She also had eerie yellow eyes that made shivers crawl up her spine yet feel safe. Also, the women wore gold and white that seemed like a princess out of a fairy tale or a genie, besides the white and gold designed cloakish thing. Alice looked up to see the women to find her smiling, showing her pointy fangs. "Welcome. My names Marishka, I hope we will be lovely friends."

Me: Sorry I was late making this. I'll get the next chapter once my head has the ideas that I have in mind put down into a story verse.
