A conversation

Anna and Dracula talked for awhile in her bedroom. "So tell me, Count, what is your weakness?" Anna asked him.
"Well that's hard to say." Dracula said. "Oh come on, please!" Anna asked doing her best pouting face she always used on her parents when she was in trouble.
Dracula fell for it immediately. "Very well Anna. My main weakness is you." Dracula told her. "It's always been you. If something were to happen to you, I would kill my self to take your place.
Josh was out side the room listening. A smile played across his face. It was time to go back down to the village.
"So tell me this Anna, what is your main weakness?" Dracula asked her leaning forward in earnest.
"It's really stupid. You would just laugh." Anna said blushing.
"Oh tell me. I told you mine." Dracula said.
"Oh, alright. My main weakness is staying strong. I want to cry some times really bad, but if I do that, the wall around me will fall." Anna said.
Dracula just looked at her surprisingly. "Is that so. My dear, you don't have to act strong. When you need to cry, I will be there for a shoulder you can spill your tears on." Dracula said.
Anna lowered her head. Dracula extended his hand and raised her chin up to look at him. Anna looked away quickly fearing being put under another spell.
"Anna, I just want to talk to you, I'm not going to hypnotize you. I promise. I just wish you would trust me more." Dracula said. Anna noticed a trace of sadness in his voice.
"I stayed strong for you. I didn't want you to ever see me cry. I thought you would think I was weak." Anna said shyly.
"My dear, Anna, you are not weak. You are one of the strongest girls, no, you are the strongest women I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. You don't need to build a wall around you." Dracula said warmly.
For the first time in Anna's broken heart, a warmth flooded her. As she looked into Dracula's eyes she could see not lies. "Thank you." Anna said tears welling in her eyes. "Thank you so much." Was all Anna could choke out. With that she curled up to Dracula and fell asleep. Dracula's heart soared as he laid on her bed just stroking her hair. She thanked him. Dracula couldn't been more pleased with him self.
Anna snuggled closer to him with out realizing it. For the first time in a long time since she had been with Dracula she slept soundly.
Josh was in the village in a matter of hours. He ran directly in the pub.
Mary looked stunned to see him. "Josh what are you doing here so late at night?" Mary asked him.
"Do you have it?" Josh asked.
"Not yet. The body is coming though. It was buried at the Valerious manor. By the grave sites of Anna's family. Van Helsing will be risen in no time"
"Keep it down would you!" Josh said.
"No one is awake!" Mary said.
"Just in case." Josh said. "Now what about the spell?" "We're still looking for it." Mary sighed. "It can't be found"
Josh smiled a beaming smile. "No worries. I know just where to look." "WHERE!" Mary asked excitingly.
"I will let you know tomorrow. Right now I need to go back to the castle. I will meet with you tomorrow." With that Josh ran out of the pub.
Dracula got up from Anna's bed and looked out her window. He looked over the mountains when he saw a figure running towards the castle. His eyes zoomed in and found it was Josh. What is he doing up so late? And why is he out side the castle grounds? Dracula wondered worriedly. He shrugged it off and figured he would question him tomorrow. Right now all he wanted to do was be with Anna. She just seemed so peaceful. Josh snuck into the castle, but he couldn't help but feel like he was being watched. He shrugged it off and made his way to the library. When he got there he opened the large wooden doors and stepped in. The creaking of the door made his heart pound fearing Dracula might hear. As he walked into the library he immediately started looking for the book. He searched for awhile when he finally found it.
The book had a red skin cover on it. The cover was made out of fox skin. The dye on it looked to be like blood. Josh grimaced in disgust. The cover said Dark Magic spells for raising the dead. Josh grew excited. He had found it. All he needed to do was get this to Mary. Now that he knew where it was located he put it back on the shelf. He would come back in the afternoon.
Dracula heard a creaking of a door and decided to check things out. He transported him self to where the creaking came from. He saw that Josh was walking in the library. "What is that boy up to now?" growled Dracula as he slipped inside. Josh didn't even notice him. As he watched Josh search around for awhile Dracula grew bored. That's when he heard Josh gasp in delight. Dracula zoomed in on the book he was holding. He couldn't get a good look at the book but managed to read for the dead. "What book does he have?" Dracula whispered to him self. He watched Josh put the book back on the shelf and left. As he watched Josh leave suspicion rose in Dracula. When Dracula was sure Josh was gone he went to the shelf where the book was. He picked it up and read the title. Anger flew into Dracula. "He wants to raise the dead?" Dracula asked him self. "What is he planning? Who does he want to raise?" Dracula thought but could not place it. All he knew was danger was coming in fast. Mainly directed towards him and possibly Anna. Dracula placed the book on the shelf and went back to Anna's room. He would deal with Josh later. He was going to figure out what's going on behind his back.
