Once again it was the annual dance recital. Amy was blending into the darkness. She was wearing a black sparkilng dress that went down to her knees. Jack wasn't there this time. She was nervous more than ever. There was no one to bust up her confidience. Oh God! I'm so nervous. Where's Jack when you need him? Of course Lisa and Nicole were there, but strangely Linda was no where in sight. The teachers were good friends of hers, and they didn't want her to get hurt since they noticed bruises on her arms. She felt so alone, maybe acting too dramatic, but she didn't want to get in trouble. She started to play the piano for ballet. She was singing the song "I'm your lady" by Celine Dion.

Dracula wouldn't miss this for the world. He loved her so much. He was going to suprise her at intermission with flowers. He watched her fingers grace over and play each and every key. He loved her voice. Something was wrong though. Her arms looked weak, and he could feel her pain. Soon intermission came, and he rushed out of the room to meet her.

"Hi Amy. I bought you these," he said handing over the red roses. "Oh they're beautiful. Thank you. How did you know they were my favorite?" "Oh just a lucky guess." They hugged each other, but Dracula noticed something on her arms. "Darling, what happened?" "Oh nothing I..." she couldn't finish. Dracula's piercing blue eyes stared at her, and getting upset at what he read and saw in her mind. "Oh Amy, how could you let them do this to you?" He hugged her hard, not wanting to let go. She buried her face into his shoulder, her eyes watering. "Please don't cry my love." He kissed her cheek. Amy blushed, she had never cried in public before, or near a man.

Linda was walking into the building, drunk before Nicole even got up on stage. She noticed a familiar face. It was Amy. How dare she come here! I told her to stay home and work. I'll get that little bitch after the dance is over. Linda walked in the hallway determined to see Nicole. "Nicole did you know Amy was here?" "No I didn't! She's gonna get it." "You bet she is." Ms. Maria overheard their conversation. She had to do something, but she was busy with the students. Oh I hope she'll get out of this.

Dracula and Amy walked home, hand in hand. "Good night." She kissed him on the cheek. "Good night my love." Before she even got to the front step, Dracula gently took her arm, and pulled her closer to him. "I didn't give you a kiss." His lips were so inviting. He was warm and calm. Dracula's tongue explored everything, and Amy couldn't help but return the favor. "Good night, I'll call tomorrow."

"Well ,well, well. What were you doing tonight.?" Nicole asked angrily as Amy entered the house. "Umm..I.." "SHut up! You now my mother lets you stay here, and you can't even get one thing done right!" Amy didn't know what was going on, little did she know Linda was behind her, drunk and all. Linda smacked Amy in the back of the head. She fell to the ground, her back was all red. Soon Nicole joined her mother in beating her to death, and they meant it. Amy's head was bleeding, and she was all red. Scars lined her body, and her eyes were puffy and swollen. A phone rang in the distance. She could hear it, but she felt herself falling. Falling into the darkness, and she was inviting it. Amy felt herself dying in a way. But she felt hands pick her up. Loving hands.

Amy once again found herself in a hospital. Dracula was by her side. "Amy are you alright?" "I..I don't know. How did you find me?" "As I was leaving I heard something, and I tried calling you but you wouldn't answer. They did this to you? If it's the last thing I do, I'm going to kill them.'' Amy gently placed her hand on his. He sighed. An officer came into the room. "Excuse me, but as I understand your stepmother and sister are responsible for this?" Amy nodded her head. She didn't really trust the law, not after they left her with them. Dracula strangly, made no eye contact with him. The officer left, but he looked strange. Like in a trance.

Dracula took Amy to his apartment. Amy was well and could walk again. Dracula showed Amy to her room. Everything was red. Amy liked it, but she felt depressed a little. "Darling, don't be so sad. You are far away from them." "It's not that it's just, I'll be seeing them again in court. I give up." Dracula and Amy sat on the edge of the bed, and hugged each other. "Would you like a tour of my home?" "Maybe later," she said quietly. Amy went under the covers. Dracula looked at her. She was so sad, he couldn't take it. He layed next to her, and she feel asleep in his arms.
