Chapter 21; Dracula's peace
Dracula looked upon Anne's sweet feature, smiling proudly. She was his, at last. In a few hours, she would awake and as a vampire, his princess.
There was some servants, waiting for their departure, downstairs. They were almost ready to go. Dracula lifted the light body of his beloved, went to the ground floor and placed her into the wooden crate he had made his slaves built for he and his new Bride. It was as comfortable as a coffin, though, it was made for two persons.
The master gave his last orders and lay beside Anne's sleeping form. She had never looked more peaceful and was unbelievably beautiful. Her complexion had paled, her skin had softened and he was anxious to see her wake.
The crate was dragged out of the house and taken to the airport. At least, Dracula would not be alone during the journey. Reaching out to Anne's pretty face, he caressed her cheek with the back of his hand. He had felt such tenderness toward someone only once, and it seemed so long ago. Maybe, if Mary would have not betrayed him, he would have felt something like that, though, he doubted it. Anne was special, like no other. Yes, she wasn't born pure like Mary was, she was bitten. But even though, she would never be like the other brides. With her, he had somehow taken his time to turn her and placed her into a deep sleep as not to shock her with the changes. For the others, he hadn't cared and that drove them crazy in many ways.
Anne whimpered in her sleep and Dracula smiled. He knew she was dreaming, for it has been part of his plan. He was making her see all the bad things she had lived. All the horrible events from her mother's death, to her father beating her senselessly. It could've look cruel, but in his mind, it was a good way to prove her that the new life he had given her, was much more better than the one she had live.
-I will give you the world sweetheart. I will show you love as nobody would have in your mortal life.
He then saw Anne stiffened. It has nothing to do with his words, but because of the pictures that were defiling in her mind. Taking her in his embrace, folding his arms around her shaking body, he tried to sooth her with his presence, without changing the images in her dreams. It was important that she felt that her past life was horrible and painful, or she would not be able to be happy with the cursed live he had given to her.
She would have to learn to kill, and he couldn't wait to their first hunt together. And on that thought, he decided to rebuilt his strength by sleeping. With her in his arms, he could find peace for the first time in centuries.
