Hello dear readers.
I hope that chapter wont be too deceiving, for I had some problems writing it.
Oh, to answer your question Leah Day, he couldn't heal her with his blood, for he don't want to turn her into a vampire, not yet. I'm making a new Dracula with powers that I don't think he could possess. But this is my fic, so I can do everything I want! Mwahahahah ;)
Okay, I'm off, until next time.
Enjoy

Chapter 12; Waking up in the vampire's den
Anne slept all day, her head hurting very badly. That night Dracula went to her when she was about to wake. Kathleen had bought something to help her headache called Aspirin. He hoped that little white pill would help, though, he doubted it.
Slowly stepping out of her restless sleep, Anne sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the huge bedroom. It was calm and beautiful. Somehow, it felt good to be in such a place.
-Good evening. The deep voice of the vampire murmured behind her
She jerked, feeling her heart pounding faster and harder in her already heaving chest. She heard him walk slowly and then faced her, a warm smile crossing his flawless face. He knelt before her, tracing her white cheek with the tip of his fingers.
-How do you feel, darling? He asked softly
She said nothing, bowing her head down, staring at her hands resting on her lap. Her whole body start shaking uncontrollably. Placing his hands on her shoulders, he spread a warm feeling through her body, making her relax.
-Who are you? She whispered in a sigh, her eyes closed
-I am the first one and I have created all the others that crossed the Earth.
-So you are like count Dracula from Bram Stoker's novel.
-That would be me in fact. Though, Mina Harker never existed.
Anne paled within half a second. Dracula took her in is arms but she started to struggle.
-Don't fight. He murmured and she instantly calmed down, thanks to his abilities. Now, I will leave you for a moment. I'll find someone to fix you a good meal and then you will rest.
-I'm not hungry.
-Yes you are my dear. I feel it. There's no need to lie to me, I will know any way.
Dracula raised from the bed and walk toward the door. He was taking his time for he knew that Anne would stop him to ask some question.
-Wait!
Bongo! He thought or was it 'bingo'?. He had learned that expression some time ago and felt it fitted perfectly to the situation, even if he didn't really know what it really meant. He turned to her and smiled.
-Are…are you going to…turn me into a…well you know…?
His smile widened, even if he had dreaded the question for he didn't wanted her to be scared, as usual. Though, he felt that he had to tell her the truth, to implant some confidence in their relation.
-In time, yes. He answered calmly, his voice as seductive as always. I'll wait until you are ready.
-I'll never be one of yours and that means I wont ever be ready for…that.
She was trying to remain strong, but it only made him chuckle and then he laughed louder, making it echoed in the whole house. Anne turned her back on him, even if that made her feel less safe and then she felt his hands on her shoulders once more, his head leaning down to brush his lips against her ear.
-You wont know when you are to be ready my dear, I will. Soon, you will be my wife, bound to me by blood, you'll be my princess, forever.
Her nerves seemed to melt and it became too tough to hold back her tears and she started to cry in her hands, shaking violently. Dracula took her in his arms once more and this time, she stayed there, which made him quite happy, for she was doing so on her own will. He rocked her for a moment, feeling a bit stupid. He was suppose to be some kind of terror, the prince of darkness, the impaler, Dracula yet, this woman was asking for his comfort and he was more than willing to give it to her.
-I love you Anne. He murmured, startling her
Anne pushed away from him and sat on the edge of the bed, head down. The vampire left the room silently and she decided to lie down, wishing that next time she woke up, she would find herself in her stinking apartment, with Wolfgang snoring beside her.
