After Anna grasped Dracula's hand she looked at him and he looked back at her, with his deep blue eyes. "First you have to close your eyes, and trust me." He said. "Alright, I trust you." She said cautiously. Then she closed her eyes. He felt him wrap his arms around her. Before she could protest she felt Dracula shift into his other form, and the wind whistle past her, as she was lifted into the sky, then as abruptly as she was lifted up, they stopped, and she felt Dracula shifted back into his human form. "You may open your eyes now." She heard him say. She opened her eyes and found herself laying on her back, looking at a cloud, nothing beneath her but Dracula's powerful arms.

Dracula looked as his beloved Anna expression turn for one of silence, to one of wonder, amazement, and slight hint of fear. "Don't be afraid. I will never let you go." He said, comfortingly. With that she nuzzled closer to him. He looked down at her with a triumphant look on his face. "You I am only doing this because I don't want to fall, don't you?" She said, a little unsurely. "Sure." He said, knowing that isn't the reason. "So why are we here?" She asked. "Well I wanted to have a romantic evening, with you." He said truthfully. "Why me?" She asked puzzled look on her flawless face. "Because you are beautiful, strong, smart, and funny." He said lovingly. "I am not any of those things, Count." She said, shifting her body so she was facing away from him. "What happened to that confident attitude that you had before?" He asked remembering how she acted before. "Well I acted like that because I wanted no one to worry about me. Now that I am alone, I can show my true feelings." She said sullenly. "You are not alone, you have me." He said comfortingly. "Is that supposed to cheer me up?" She said, almost breaking out into hysterical laughter. "No, but this is." He said, turning her towards him. Then he pulled her closer, he could feel her body heat rising, it excited him. He quickly closed the gap between them and they kissed.

Anna was surprised at the suddenness of this kiss. It wasn't rigid as the kiss they had at the masquerade ball, it was soft and delicate but still had all the passion. She didn't try to fight it, she somewhat liked it. The way his tongue felt as it slipped into her mouth, sent shivers down her spine as she fought to suppress a moan of pleasure. Then he withdrew with a pleased look on his face. "You liked that didn't you?" He said, gleefully. She looked away so he would see how much she liked it. "I'll take that as a yes." He said confidently. She looked down and saw how far they were above ground and gulped. "Don't worry I won't let you fall, ever."He said. She rolled closer to him. There they lay for a while, until she is finally lulled to sleep.
