Chapter 35
"What is your final wish, my princess?" asked Dracula.
"Turn me into something that will allow me to swim and fly in the ocean," said Anna. "It doesn't have to be a permanent transformation, even if it only lasted for fifteen minutes it would be enough."
Dracula was a little surprised by her request, but smiled. 'This is new to her,' he thought. 'She deserves to make it an unforgettable experience.'
Dracula waved his hand over Anna before picking her up and throwing her into the water. She didn't mind. Almost at once when she hit the water she became one with it. Down in the ocean she could see everything.
She saw all the animals that lived in it, good and bad. She watched as the last rays of the sun shined off the sparkling scales of some of the fish. Even the sharks were beautiful. They didn't try to harm her, so there was no need to fear them.
Anna dived deep into the depths of the waters. She went down so deep she nearly went into the dark zone. She quickly stopped herself and resumed her exploration.
Dracula smiled as he watched Anna explore the ocean. It was the first time he'd seen her truly happy in as long as he could remember. 'She looks so beautiful when she's happy,' he thought. 'If only there was something I could do to keep her happy.'
Dracula admitted sadly that he enjoyed her fear during the games. Yet at the same time her happiness was more rewarding. He sat and thought. At the end of an hour the spell broke and Anna came back to the surface. Her clothes were wet as a sponge and her hair dripped and smelled of sea-water. But she didn't care. She wrung out her hair happily.
"That was the best experience of my life!" said Anna. Dracula smiled.
"I'm glad you enjoyed it, sweet Anna," he said. He noticed that Anna looked a little sad. "What's wrong?"
"I almost wish I could have shared it with someone," she said. "I'm sorry, I'm just lonely. Whenever I'm not your prisoner I'm alone in my home. It's times like these that I wish I had a companion."
Dracula would have playfully asked if she wanted him to come and stay with her in Valerious manor, but knew that if he did she would be angry. He wanted to keep her happy as long as he could, at least for now. He waved his hand over the princess, she became dry and clean at once.
"Thank you," she said softly.
Dracula smiled and scooped her into his arms. As he flew back to Castle Frankenstein he thought and thought. There had to be a way he could give her what she needed and wanted the most.
When he reached the castle he put her under a sleeping spell and tucked her in bed. As he departed for his own room his mind was made up. He would give Anna a child, with out stealing her virginity.
