Chapter Five- If You Loved Me

Nadia Dragulia

He had been repeating those words on paper for hours. I watched his ornate handwriting litter the page, though unable to see his face for his black hair protected that from view.

He had been watching me while I was asleep and when I had awoke he was at the desk, clad only in a loose black shit and tight black pants while I was wrapped merely in a blanket.

"How long have you been writing?" I questioned as I moved more into the candle light. He turned around to face me, a smile on his face revealing that he had known I had been there the whole time.

"A couple of hours more or less while I was waiting for you to wake up; I have a question for you."

"Yes?" I questioned and he beckoned me to sit in his lap, so I did

"What thinks you of marriage?" he questioned, his hands resting on my thigh in a comforting manner.

"I think you're a little too anxious Vladislaus to have me to yourself." I teased "Has one night been too short of a time for you?"

"Way too short my love." He nibbled on my ear, causing a giggle to escape from my lips. "Hmm, I know one word to describe you." He grinned and ran his spidery fingers along my leg and I giggled till he poked my hot flesh.

I squeaked and once I regained my composure, I said "What word is that?"

"Delicious," he whispered and he kissed my neck right as he slipped a single finger inside of me.

"Ugh! Please tell me you aren't trying to turn me on." I groaned as he pumped in and out, not caring that my fluids were running down his hand.

"Is it working?" he questioned and when I simply shook my head yes, he said "Then I'm sorry to say I am." He pulled his finger out and brought them to his lips and licked them dry, causing my face to turn a bright red.

"Vlad…" I stuttered "What was…I…" he smirked at my embarrassment and picked me up in his arms, heading for the bed. He laid me among the sheets and I blushed as I saw his hardness right through his pants. They were a little too tight.

I could hear the growls start to emit from his stomach and I could feel the heat in my stomach build up as he removed those troublesome clothes.

Right as we were about to start a servant walked in with an angry expression on her face. "Master," she growled "That mortal Carmen is asking for you again."

In that moment I saw that I was the fool once more. While he was preoccupied with the servant I dressed and quickly slid past them, determined to get away.

"Oh Vlad," I muttered "How you love to hate me, I'm your sacrifice." I had found the way out once, but this time I was going to end my misery. "What's wrong with me?!" I cried quietly as I forced myself through the woods. "How could I allow myself to be used?"

I looked down at my feet and to my surprise, a gun lay at my feet and I picked it up hastily. I had found my way out.

The last thing I heard was "Nadia NO!" and then I pulled the trigger.

He stood over my body, watching the blood pour from my head.

"Nadia," he cried "Why can't you see it's you I love! What have you done?!" And the so called monster cried for the first time in centuries as he attempted to stop the bleeding. "I won't lose you!" he yelled and he quickly cut his wrist and allowed to blood to trickled own my throat. "Please let this work."

I could see light and I was so close to it. I could almost touch it and my heart was uplifted and then I found myself spiraling down to reality. Where was I? I thought as I sat up. It was snowing, but I didn't feel so cold. Was I dead? And then I saw his eyes.

"No," I gasped as I backed away from him "This can't be I…I thought I killed…" And then my mind registered what had happened.

"How could you?!" I shrieked as I tried to get to my feet. "You have Carmen or whatever her name is. Why couldn't you just let me die instead of damning me for an eternity?"

"Do you actually believe that dying was the best way out?" he snapped, his eyes turning a dangerous color of blue.

"Yes, yes I did. You don't know the pain I felt because of you. I felt like a piece of trash because you used me just to make you feel better. You don't love me yet you keep harassing me!" I was screaming now, that infamous temper working again.

"Where the hell did you get that idea?!" he yelled back.

"You said you had another bride in mind and it's obvious I'm not bride material. I'm just a peasant."

"Do you think I give a damn where you're from?! Nadia, you just can't grasp the concept of someone loving you. You don't get that I've loved you all along. I've tried hinting it, I've made love to you, and I saved your life but you're still determined to say that I'm not in love!" He grabbed my hand and pulled me into him "How dare you say that I don't love you. I took you out of your dreary world and into elegance. Damn it Nadia, just tell me the truth. Do you love me or not?!"

I looked into his eyes, pondering what to say till the words formed on my lips "Yes,"

"Then why don't you believe that I love you?" It was more of a question than a demand, but the insistence of an answer confused me.

"I don't believe you love me because I don't know what love is. I've never loved anyone before, including myself."

"Then let me show you." He pulled my face in close to his "Please Nadia let me be your lover."

"Vlad I…" my sentence was never finished because we were pulled apart.

"Nadia, are you okay?" I heard Carl's voice above me and I turned my woozy eyes towards his. "Oh my god, what's happened?! You're covered in blood!"

I saw Vlad's tall form stand up and he said in a loud voice "Meet my new bride."

Anna's horrified face came into my vision and I heard her say "Not for long Count. If there's a cure we'll find it."

"Believe what you want Princess." He sneered "Nadia is mine for an eternity." I slumped to the ground and could barely hear him say "She needs blood. I'd leave or I'll use your blood for her meal."

"We'll get her blood ourselves." Van Helsing snapped "We'll take care of her till we find a cure."

"Oh I disagree with you Gabriel." I could feel him pull me into his strong arms and I started to shake uncontrollably. "There is no cure and the next time you see her, she'll not only be my bride, but my wife and my equal." He then turned into his hell beast form and flew off.

The cold was intolerable and the trip took so long to me. When we finally arrived at our destination, I could barely keep my eyes open.

He laid me gently on the floor and yelled out for a cup of blood. Once one was in his hands, he tipped it into my mouth and I drank willingly, not afraid to let myself thrive. The blood ran fire through my veins and I could feel my strength increase

"Are you feeling better?" he said, a look of worry on his face.

"Yes," I muttered. I sat up and found myself in his arms.

"Come my darling, you must lie down." He picked me up and carried me through these strange creatures that seemed to have no faces.

"Vladislaus," I said softly "Where are we?"

"We're at Castle Dracula. It will take them a while longer to catch up to us here. Are you sure you're alright? You still seem weak." His hands rubbed my back as he headed towards a stone room.

"I'm fine," I sighed and laid my head against his chest. "I'm just a little woozy." He put me down on my feet and in front of me stood a coffin. I started to shake like a life as I saw him motion for me to get in.

"Darling, what is the matter?" he looked at me in a confused manner.

"It's so small." I shuddered.

"My dear, there is nothing to fear. I've had it cushioned for you. Please try it my love." He held his hand out to me but before I stepped towards it he said "How foolish of me. You're still in those bloody clothes." He walked over to a table and on it laid a beautiful dress of the same blue fabric we had seen at the market.

"Oh my god Vladislaus, it's beautiful!" To my surprise I jumped into his arms, and to his surprise, kissed him fully on the lips. He staggered backwards slightly, kissing me back furiously as his hands tried to pull off whatever clothes he could reach.

After I was stripped down and up against a wall, he asked "Do you think this wise Nadia?"

"Vlad, you're the one who asked to be my lover. So for once, do as you're told. Kiss me." I growled.

He smirked and replied "Your wish is my command." Vlad then placed his lips on mine in a fiery kiss and quickly positioned himself.

His first thrust into me sent tingles down my spine as he set a tortuous pace that I hoped my body could keep up with. He layered bites and licks all over my neck as he pumped in and out of me, eliciting moans out of me. Finally when we could both take no more he stopped, and after regaining some strength, he kissed my neck lightly.

"My darling, you still have to sleep. I can tell you're even more tired now that we've done this." He said softly as he pushed a stubborn strand of now straight hair out of my face.

"Fine, I'll go to bed." I grumbled "Pass me the dress." He did so and I pulled it over me, marveling at the feel of it against my skin. He corrected the dress and to my surprise I blurted out "Why do I have to sleep alone?!"

He looked at me surprised "Is that your problem with the coffin?" I shyly nodded yes and he smiled at me. "There is a dual coffin set up for us if that's what you want."

"It is what I want. Now that I've found love I'd prefer not to be left alone." My voice was equally soft and I buried my head in his bare chest.

"Well my dear you won't be, just allow for me to get dressed." He smirked "I can't go to bed naked or we'll end up how we started when we wake up." I nodded politely and turned away so he can dress. "There's no need to be so naïve Nadia. I don't care if you see my body." He said and when I turned around I found him dressed already.

We somehow moved over to the coffin without moving our feet and once inside the coffin a layer of ice froze over us. I moved into a comfortable spot and nestled in his arms.

"Good night Nadia," he muttered "I love you."

"Good night Vladislaus." I whispered as I closed my eyes "I love you too."
