A/N: Continuing…
"Quiet, my little doll, quiet. I want to only hear moans, not screams." He hissed, his hand clamped on her mouth. He removed his wandering hands and slowly trailed up and over her curves, making Elizabeth moan in delight. After his hands and lips trailed up over her body, they were planting kisses on her neck, her chin, her shoulders, and then, after he quickly untied her top in the back, into her shirt.
"Augh! Oh my…please, stop…" Elizabeth moaned, grabbing his back and managing to grab hold of his hair, pulling it to try to move his head and trailing tongue out her cleavage. He growled as she pulled, but his head was steadfast, and with the response of her pulling his hair he moved his hands up and grabbed her sides, moving them under her top again and fully gaining access to them under the two layers. That was enough to stop her and gape wide open with gasp. His smile widened before closing his eyes again and began pulling the top off for his mouth to explore further. His hands were giving her breasts slow torturous squeezes.
However, he was interrupted when he smelled…other than the seduced lady underneath him in heat…Katie standing in the doorway with a spear and wide eyes.
This will be fun. He thought.
"Get off her now!" Katie yelled, raising her small spear. She had never seen anything like this at all, and watched as Dracula turned to look at her and remove, thankfully, his hands from Elizabeth's chest.
"Why, I was just punishing her. Nothing wrong at all." He replied coolly.
"Katie! Help, please!" Elizabeth cried out, her heart beating fast now for a different reason.
"There is something wrong, pervert! She's only 15, for God's sake!" She raised the spear and pointed it at his head. "Off. Her. NOW!"
"Of course, we must have dinner together." He tied up her clothing again, stealing a kiss on her lips causing Elizabeth to shut up again. Katie's spear prodded his arm, making him stop and roll off onto the bedspread next to her. Elizabeth immediately sat up and ran her hands all over herself, fixing up her dress and putting her corset back on. She would have smacked Dracula if he didn't move off the bed and stay at the back of the room, watching with eager eyes while Elizabeth buckled the stylish thing in place.
"Son of a bitch…bastard…dickwad…ARGGGHH!!!" Elizabeth muttered under her breath, staring with a flushed hot face at Dracula buttoning his shirt at the mantel piece. "Don't you DARE touch me in those places EVER AGAIN! WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?!" she yelled at him and then at Anna, who appeared then behind Katie. After that, and seeing that Elizabeth was in the presence of the vampire bride Anna, she immediately stopped and stared at her.
"It would do you
well to stop calling me names in the future, Elizabeth." Dracula
hissed by her ear, causing her to fidget while Dracula grabbed her
shoulders, massaging them gently. "Or I will punish you some more.
Now, Anna will escort you to dinner, where I will be waiting." And
with that Dracula strutted past
Katie giving her a mischievous
look. Anna merely stepped aside, still in the doorway while Dracula
chuckled and was gone.
Katie dropped her weapon and went and sat besides Elizabeth. Elizabeth was shaking and clenched her fists, before moving her outfit up and around herself to cover every inch of her body if possible. She was scared, scared at how far it could have gone, how she was close to that point of no return.
"What was he doing to you?" Katie asked with deep concern, hugging her young friend. This only proved what Anna told her about his lusting attitude. She realized herself, that indeed she was in fact 17, and…age would not matter if Dracula decided to go at her. He was only giving young Elizabeth a taste. But would he really have wanted to rape her at 15? Katie had no idea at the customs of Romania, Elizabeth would know them. And here she was, now sprawled on the bed and a fetal position hiding her face.
"I…I could cry. But I don't want to feel weak, but I am against him. I can't win, I can never win. But I will try, I will. I want to be alone, but I can't. How can I eat after…that? They way he held me, the way he touched me…its wrong, immorally wrong." She mumbled, sniffing while Anna sat down on the bed next to her.
"You are a mortal, and such things are expected of you. Like what I was, but I had lost everything. You are right, you can never win. You were acting like me when I rebelled, but I lost. All his chosen victims lose." Anna said the dreary words, her hand on Elizabeth shaking shoulder. Elizabeth was doing an admiral job of not crying at all. Somehow or another, Elizabeth felt comforted by a vampire. She until last night never thought vampires were real. Elizabeth was becoming a model Goth girl when she met Katie, and wrote of Poe, liked black and started wearing it more often, and with her brain full of history about vampires and other sorts of dismal topics, besides the usual things a tough girl would think of, she was ready by Dracula for her last vestiges of innocence to be taken away and turn her over completely to the dark side, Whereas angelic Katie feared Anna's cold tainted touch, Elizabeth took into her mind without rebellion she could not help her vile transformation. Anna did not revel in evil. And Elizabeth was always sympathetic to the vampire cause of innocent turnings of good people.
"How can you say such terrible things? We can't give up hope! Elizabeth, don't listen to those words!" Katie said, shooting an angry look at Anna. Anna was broken, she knew that, but she to Dracula's plan…of course! The calculating brain of Katie knew then that Anna's presence would weigh us down, she thought. Anna was helping Dracula, whether she knew it or not. Anna sought to comfort those two young women into their transformation into the sadness she was in. That was all she could do, Anna thought. There was no escape.
"Elizabeth, I will explain everything later, in my chambers. But we must attend dinner, before the master grows impatient." Anna picked Elizabeth up and dried her tears with the sleeve of her red dress. Elizabeth immediately straightened and shook loose from the cold hold of Anna, and walked to the door. She turned her head at Anna.
"I would never think I would be given encouragement from a vampire." Elizabeth was shocked that Anna Valerious was made Dracula's bride. I pity her, being his whore. She thought.
"Heed the advice. Accept Dracula as much as you can in your heart, and your spirit will break slowly. Nothing will change for you if you love Dracula. Then you will have some freedom." Anna chanted, causing Elizabeth to get anger on her face.
"How can you say that? I will never give in to him! I will not be his bitch for him to use! If he succeeds, I will still be strong. It is only…a violation of my…body, not my spirit." Elizabeth sniffed and ran back to Katie, hugging her deeply. "You have NO freaking idea what he was doing to me! He was…touching…kissing…oh damn him! Damn him to hell! I hope he stays there and rots!" She sobbed once more, and then wiped her eyes of the tears. Elizabeth, to Katie's eyes, was trying hard to stay calm. After a minute Elizabeth calmed with the reassuring pats on her back. Katie was 17, seen films, understood as much as 15 year-old Elizabeth knew of sexual assaulting, for Elizabeth was more darker minded than her. Dracula played with her; Dracula had a bit of fun with her friend, her deep friend. And Katie herself, she was not exactly of age to be married, but would Dracula even care for such things? What strange absurd custom would Dracula invent to have the perfect excuse to rape them? But the freezing cold hand on her shoulder prompted them to start heading out to try at least to eat dinner.
Anna silently led them down the hall again, and into the dining room where Dracula was drumming his fingers. Katie, with anger in her heart, sat down fuming with worry and hatred for what Dracula had caused to her friend. Elizabeth sat next to Anna, pulling her top up a bit more as Dracula's eyes wandered over to look at her cleavage a bit too long for comfort. Elizabeth was stiff, but with a quick glance around scooped some food on her plate. Katie did not eat, to rebel against Dracula.
"Ah, my three brides. Two brides-to-be in fact. Now, Katie, you are 17, Elizabeth 15, and Anna around a little more than a 100." Dracula smirked, taking in gleefully the expressions of hate, fear, and sorrow from his women.
"What does that have to do anything?" Katie asked, in a daze at what he was getting at.
"What I mean is that in my country, the marrying age is at 16. And, little swan, you are ready. But what about my china doll? I can't marry her yet, but…who said I have to marry first? There is no law here that protects that isn't there?" Dracula chuckled, those words sinking their hearts even further.
"You fiend." Elizabeth stammered. She struggled to maintain her composure, but Dracula knew she was trembling inside.
"So you plan to rape her today and marry me tomorrow. How quaint. Well, you aren't getting any of us knocked up or hitched bastard. You will never take us." Katie said proudly, looking straight at Dracula in the blue eye. Anna was silent. Elizabeth was a bit perturbed at her language use, so like her own, but she could hardly stand up to Dracula after that ordeal.
"I am afraid that is impossible to promise. No one will save you, not even the powerful force within yourselves." He smirked, resting his head on his hands.
"Force?" Katie mumbled in confusion. What force? Was he hiding something?
"You will find out…later at a more appropriate time." Dracula chuckled. "Now, have you finished dinner, my lovelies?"
"Yes, and it was adequate. Now, leave us alone." Elizabeth said deeply. Katie looked at her and Anna, both hunched over and scowling. Elizabeth had a deep voice only if she was resentful and trying to take in the despair. She was.
"Alright then, Elizabeth, alright. You are all excused to your rooms. Feel free to wander the castle, at your own risk. Anna and I will be watching." With that Dracula stood up and bowed while the girls both left hand in hand. Katie and Elizabeth both out of fear went into Katie's room, seeing it the lightest colored room in the entire castle. Both sat on the bed, closing the door and locking it to their small amount of joy.
"We still have each other at least. I will not let him do anything to you." Katie said, hugging Elizabeth as hard as she could. Elizabeth patted back, past tears and pulling away.
"And I will not let anything happen to you either. He will not rule our bodies, our hearts, and our souls! We must fight; we must not let him if at all possible to take over. I swear! I swear it!" Elizabeth said, slamming her fist into her hand, stiff and knotted for fighting. "I don't care if threatens me, tortures me, hurts me, rapes me, even kills me! I will fight; I will not fall to his whims, even if he turns me into a vampire. I will even bite him if I am one." She vowed, sitting there seething. Then a small knock echoed through the room, a knock that was accompanied by the voice of Anna.
"Please, come in." Katie said, unlocking the door and letting her come in. Anna stood with remorse and pain as always, and sat in the white plush arm chair daintily. Her green eyes were tired and alive a bit, but they were weary and stared out into space.
"I am sorry you two must go through with this, but remember it is pointless to resist. I had tried, but utterly failed. The best thing for your peaceful existence here is let him do what he will with you, so you do not become as dead and hurt as me. Elizabeth, you are going to cause yourself much pain in the future." Anna sighed.
"All you spread is sorrow Anna. No, we will fight, for there is always a chance, always something that we can use to save ourselves, or someone saves us. If you won't help us, and try to keep us back, you will be our enemy and in the way." Katie said, giving Anna a glare of malice.
"I will not try to stop you, for it is not in my place. All I can give is the foretelling of your fate and be there to comfort you. It is not in my power to hinder your development." Anna did not move at all. She was used to even worse bombardments of words.
Everything was silent after that. It was broken when Elizabeth asked the appropriate question of why Anna was here, seeing as she didn't know her story. And So, Anna told her, leaving no detail out as the first. It was monotonous, seeing as she told her story to every victim she attacked before killing them.
"I'm…sorry. I now know and realize why you act this way. If I had a more similar personality I would fall into this depression just like you! But I'm not, so there! I'm going to be as hard as a rock, where nothing evil shall penetrate me." Elizabeth crossed her arms, before then yawning.
"I guess it is pretty late. We must rest to stay strong. Tomorrow holds many possibilities for looking for an escape route, I do think." Katie said, trying to break up the glances between Elizabeth and Anna. They both did need their strength if they were to combat the king vampire.
"Katie, um, I don't think I can sleep in my room anymore." Elizabeth said, holding her hand and looking her in the eye. "Mind if I stay with you tonight? Being alone in a room, in a large bed fit for two is quite dangerous."
"I agree with you completely. It is a good idea to keep us from waking up to Dracula besides us tomorrow." Katie responded; now glad as ever at the fool proof idea at hand.
"Then I bid you goodnight, Ms. Katie and Elizabeth. I do hope that your plan works." Anna said, standing up and curtsying, gliding out the door and locking it.
And so, they set about for bed. Katie had her nightgown in the wardrobe, the frilly lacy garment that was ruffled around and almost see through. But Elizabeth's nightgown was in her room. So, with hesitant steps, they went into her room and grabbed her black, hip hugging silk nightgown. They strolled back into the room, locked it and braced it with chairs and a dresser, before going to bed.
"Well, this aught to slow his advances down. Ingenious Elizabeth." Katie said cheerfully, trying to raise the mood and act like old times.
"Um, yes. It is a good idea. Good night Katie." With that she tucked herself in, and was falling asleep from the exhaustion and trauma from the day. She had to get used to the nocturnal schedule too, if she was to be up for Dracula's plans. And she wasn't in a talking mood anyways, especially after what Dracula was doing to her.
The room was dimmed and night took over, the buzzing thoughts in Katie's head keeping her awake. She watched the clock slowly tick away for several hours, until her herself succumb to the night. She had finally convinced herself to sleep, sleep for rest and what little time of solitude she had with Dracula trying to take their virginity.
A/N: And, we shall see what will come next!!!
