Chapter 22; Chitchat in a coffin

Anne felt as if a train had crushed her body over some steel tracks. Her body was hurting as if it was indeed the case. When she opened her eyes, she saw that she wasn't in a bed but in…something that looked like a…coffin. Dracula was holding her in his arms tightly and it both reassured her and scared her. What happened? Where was she?

-Do not be afraid Anne. Dracula suddenly murmured in her ear, using the words he had spoke so often to her in the past days and weeks

She pulled back to look into his eyes and he smiled, leaning to kiss her, but she turned her head away, frustrating him.

-W-where are we? She asked

She jerked when she heard her own voice. It had change. It sounded deeper and clearer, as if it was her soul that was speaking instead of her vocal chords.

-We are on our way to your homeland my love. Aren't you happy?

She nodded shyly, and he tried to kiss her again. This time, she responded, to his biggest pleasure.

-How do you feel? He said, trying to calm down his instincts

-I'm not really good to tell you the truth and I am a bit claustrophobic…

-You will probably feel sore for a couple of hours. He smiled, pecking her lips. For the claustrophobia, I can't do anything. We'll be there in an hour or two.

-Why am I…scared and…excited at the same time?

Dracula couldn't help but kiss her eagerly, stroking her hair and neck. When he pulled back, he placed two kisses in her eyelids and then look into her eyes.

-You are scared of what you don't understand, of what you don't know like most people. He smiled, passing his thumb on her gorgeous lips. But it will change. You will come to love this new life. I will give you the world Anne.

She lowered her gaze and shook her head, taking him by surprise.

-I do not want the world. She murmured. All I want is to be happy.

-But you will be sweetheart, have no doubt about it.

-Can I ask you a question?

-Of course you can.

-What happened to the priest and to that girl from the store you turned into…well into a vampire.

-Last I saw them they were well. I strictly forbid the girl to kill the man and I know she obeyed. What happened to her, I do not know nor do I care.

-So she is free in the streets of London, killing at will…

It wasn't really a question though, and her eyes darkened with guilt, which annoyed Dracula a little. But he told himself that she was still young and has many things to learn. He would be there to teach her what power he had gave her and how those mortals weren't of any importance.

Unconsciously, he folded his arms around her and to his pleasure, she leaned into his embrace, as if she wanted to feel him against her as much as she possibly could in that restraint space.

-I love you Anne, more than anything I ever and could ever love.

She didn't answered, only nod and put her arm around his waist to fall asleep a second later.
