Here's another songfic with Dracula: the Musical's "Loving You Keeps Me Alive", both of which I don't own. I also want to let you know that I changed the lyrics in the first two parts a bit to make the song fit more into the story better. Enjoy.
Ch.6: Prisoner of Love P2-Loving You Keeps Me Alive
Ahuizotl frowned down at Daring Do as she sobbed into his chest. He can tell that she's unsure of her feelings for him because she's not sure if his love for her is for real or not. And they have been enemies for so long that this must be too sudden for her. He then wrapped his arms around her to hug her in comfort…and started to sing to her softly.
Loving you keeps me alive
Think again before you leave me
No love can be as true
As the love I offer you
You're wasting time pretending you don't belong with me
Come to your senses
Daring then looked up at Ahuizotl, her tears leaving darkened streaks on her cheeks, which he gently wiped away. He then pressed his forehead into hers gently and nuzzled her lovingly to make her sigh softly.
Loving you keeps me alive
I'll be in your heart forever
And you'll be a part of me
From now till eternity
You've talked yourself into thinking I'm not the one
Such wild pretenses
She then opened her eyes slowly to look into his as they gaze into hers. It was then that he saw the secret deep inside of him through his eyes…his secret love for her. She hasn't noticed this sooner because she was always too busy fighting him and saving the day. But now…seeing the truth in his eyes…she can see the heartache he's gone through via fighting her on the side of evil.
The first time I set eyes on you
I knew I'd never be the same
I never knew I'd get such pleasure
Whispering your name
She was so lost in his gaze that Daring failed to notice that she placed her forehooves on his shoulders. Seeing this chance, Ahuizotl took one hoof and wrapped his free arm around her back in a dancing embrace.
If loving you keeps me alive
Then how can leaving me be right?
Turn back and let me love you
Stay with me and let us dance into the night
The two of them then began dancing in a waltz, their eyes gazing into each other as they felt their heartbeats mix as one.
You are the one, the only one
To make me see the empty life I lead
You are the love
The only love I'll ever need
Daring can see the truth in Ahuizotl's eyes as he said those words. She can see that if she hadn't come into his life, his life would've been dull and empty. But now because of her, his life is truly blooming with excitement he's never felt before.
The first time I set eyes on you
I knew I'd never be the same
I never knew I'd get such pleasure
Whispering your name
Daring realized that she's nothing without Ahuizotl. Without him, there would be no Daring Do traveling the world…no Daring Do fighting to save the day…no Daring Do playing the heroic role. Just a regular/boring archeologist finding ancient treasures through dull diggings.
If loving you keeps me alive
Then how can leaving me be right?
Turn back and let me love you
Stay with me and let us dance into the night
"Ahuizotl…" she whispered softly as he then held her in a dip. He only hushed her with a gentle hand on her cheek.
"Atrevida," he purred as he leaned his muzzle closer to hers, "Permettez-moi de vous embrasser." Not needing to be told twice, Daring closed her eyes before her enemy-turned-lover pressed his lips into hers for a kiss. And all she did was wrap her forelegs around his neck and kiss him back.
As they were kissing, Discord and Illustre appeared behind them nearby.
"Bingo!" Discord said as he loaded the antidote arrow into his bow. "Just one shot, and everything will be back to normal." But Illustre noticed something off about what she's seeing. Daring doesn't look like she's resisting Ahuizotl's kiss. She looks like she's…kissing him back?!
"Discord, wait!" But she was too late. He fired the arrow, and it hit Ahuizotl while knocking his love arrow off in the process.
