Present Day
" This happened the rest of the day and most of the night, I thought I was dreaming….."
She stopped talking and was looking past me at someone who just arrived in the room.
" I'm sorry Mr. Lamben will you excuse me for a moment, if you need anything please ask Maria." Mina said as she got up from her seat and headed for a door to the left of her.
I decide to take the time to revise and organize my notes I have written so far. Mina was not gone for long she returned seemingly nervous about something, as she was sitting a older gentleman approached.
" I am sorry Madame Mina, we need to know which rooms we should utilize?" said the older man.
"Use the two larger room on the West Wing, the rooms with connected washroom. Also make sure they get something to eat, thank you Andrew." Mina said as she looked back at me.
" Mr. Lamben, where were we?"
" Oh umm… you thought you were dreaming about Angelus." I said rustling through my notes.
" Oh right, so as I awoke the next morning…….
1875 England
As I awoke the next morning, it was as if nothing had ever happened. I was dressed in my nightgown and comfortable in my bed. No signs of anything out of miss. I must of dreamt everything. I tried to get up from my bed, as I tried I found that my body ached, I just figured because of the dreaming I moved around too much.
" Willamina?" Malie said as she came in " How are you feeling, better I hope your cousins are very worried about you." She said coming to open the curtains.
" Better Malie, thank you yes I'm feeling much better. I must have had a fever though I had the strangest dream." I said getting up.
" Sorry to hear that dear, but lets get you dressed for breakfast." She said walking over to the wardrobe.
After getting cleaned up and dressed I headed down to the dinning room for breakfast.
"Good morning all." I said with a smile.
"Good morning child, how do you feel today?" said Mrs. Jenkins as I sat down.
"Much better thank you." I said looking her way.
"We were all very worried about you, did you eat something not right with you?" said Emily.
" I'm not sure, but I feel much better now." I said looking around the table noticing someone was missing.
" Where is Mr. O'Connor?" I said trying not to blush.
" He left last night, left us a note saying he had to leave us." Johnathan said.
" Has Alice returned?" I said looking at Malie.
"No Miss, and I have heard nothing of where she has gone." Malie said looking worried.
As everyone was eating I kept thinking how it was odd that Angelus just left in the middle of the night and also no one has heard from Alice. What if they ran away together. Could they have fallen for each other that soon. I was unsure of everything at this point, the dream I had was still haunting me and making it hard for me to focus on anything while I thought of it. It just felt so real, like it really happened, but there was no sign of foul play anywhere in sight this morning in my room. Alice leaving and not saying goodbye and no note also was bothering me, and that no one has heard a thing. I needed to get my mind off everything so after breakfast I went to the study to read and relax. Emily found me there facing the window just staring outside.
" Mina, are you okay?" Emily said sitting across from me.
"what do you mean?" I said still looking forward.
"Do not play that with me Mina, I know something is wrong. You have been distant all day, you even missed tea and you love tea." Emily said coming to stand in front of me.
"Emily I'm fine, I guess I must still be recovering from being ill." I said looking up at her.
"Alright Willamina, but if you want to talk you know I'm always here. I love you like a daughter Mina, you know that, please don't push me away." Emily said moving to leave the room.
"I love you too Emily, I'm sorry." I said after she left.
Why couldn't I tell her what I was thinking or what was wrong. I just don't think she would have understood or sent me away for mental help for the things I have dreamt. I am not sure why I had these dreams I guess that is what I was thinking about all day, trying to make sense of why I would have those images. First I thought about what I saw in the kitchen the night before, that might have triggered something also the first time that I saw Angelus. He is the best looking man I have ever seen so far in my young age, but something about the way he looked at me made me nervous. As a result my mind decided to take action and show me what I was afraid of. Knowing he is gone has helped with my nerves. I fear to sleep though, for fear of seeing what I am afraid to see again. In my dream he was like an animal, wait in the kitchen I did see him as an animal or was it all a dream. At this point I am unclear of what was real and what is not. The things I dreamed about felt so real, the way he was touching me hurt but at the same time felt so good. that's what scares me the most was how violent is was but that I want to experience it for real. If I had not believed it was a dream, I think I would have hated it. Wouldn't I, wouldn't I feel sick for what was done to me? If it was real I would not want him ever again, never see him again, wouldn't I want him to pay for taking me against my will for hours? That is why it must be a dream, because I don't feel that way. I am ashamed that I want him. That is why she can not know what is wrong, or what I am thinking.
Later that night I was getting ready for bed, I was sitting at my vanity brushing my hair. Hoping that by trying to relax myself I could try and get some sleep and not think of what I have been thinking about all day. I never saw it coming.
"Hello Lover." someone said from behind me.
I looked into the mirror ready to see the one face I was so scared to see, but saw no one. I must be hearing things I just hope I'm dreaming again. I kept brushing as if I heard nothing. Then I felt a cold hand fall on my shoulder, looked at the hand and then at the mirror still no reflection only me. I then tried to turn towards where the hand was, but the grip got stronger and held me still.
"It is rude to not say hello back darlin." he said.
" You are not here. I'm dreaming again." I said shakily.
" Again? When did you dream about me, Lover?" He said turning me towards him.
"Last night I dreamed of you, that you hurt me, and now I am dreaming again." I said looking into his eyes. "Wake, wake up please now" I said crying as he turned me back around with an evil smile upon his lips. Again I was facing the mirror, and I still saw no one but me, but I felt his ice cold hand on my shoulder moving lower to my waist.
" That was no dream girl and this is as real as me." He said whispering in my ear.
He then moved his head lower and kissed the back of my neck so lightly I started crying again. At that moment he tightened his grip on my waist and I was shoved into the mirror with such force it broke. As I was pulled away from the broken vanity I felt something running down my face, I reached up to my head and touched something sticky. I was bleeding down my face, I had a cut right at my hair line.
"So Lover, does that feel real or not?" he said spinning me around to face him.
He ran a finger down my face and put it to his lips "You taste real enough." he said with a grin. He went to kiss me and I ducked, he got really angry and slammed me hard on the vanity, my back hitting the vanity hard. " Apparently we didn't learn our lesson last time, lets try again. Remember do not scream or it will hurt much more darlin." he said pulling me up and turning me around and pushing me against the vanity table. He pulled up my nightgown so it was around my waist and ripped of my undergarments with such strength it slammed me into the table again. He put his hand over my mouth and entered me from behind. He placed his hands upon mine so I could not move them. With every push upward I felt warmer until I could not keep still any longer, I started pushing down every time he pushed up. It felt so strange and good, I was trying not to enjoy what was happening to me but could not. I heard what sounded like growling behind me and then I felt something sharp in my neck. I started feeling weak and like I was about to explode, and then there was nothing. I stood there shaking trying to have a coherent thought. I felt an arm come around my chest and pull me back away from the vanity, he turned me around and stepped back a few feet and looked at me.
"Come to me girl." he said.
I couldn't stop myself, I didn't want to go over there. I looked at the door and thought about running, but I knew I was to weak to make it before he caught me. I started to walk toward him, he started walking back until he hit the bed and sat on it. I kept walking until he told me to stop.
"Stop, good girl. Now take off that garment you are wearing, it is very ugly." he said with an evil smirk.
I just stood there in shock from what just happened. That did not please him.
"Darlin, if you do not take it off I will and not very gentle like, you understand?" he said getting up off the bed to stand in front of me. I started to reach for my gown but he stopped me. "You are too slow let me help you." he said as he ripped the nightgown in half. I stood there naked trying not to fall to my knees and cry, he looked me up and down with what looked like yellow glowing eyes, then they faded.
" Not bad darlin, but I have seen better, I guess you'll do…for now." he said grabbing my arm and throwing me on the bed.
He took off his clothes and climbed on the bed hovering over me, he entered me again with a growl. "This time stay awake darlin, your going to love this." He said as he thrust forward. It only took a few strokes and I again could not help but push back. A few minutes went by and I started to feel like I was going to explode again and Angelus was moving fast causing me to move quicker and then it hit me. It started in my head and ran down my body, I was shaking, I exploded. Angelus pushed a few more times and collapsed on me. He then rolled off me and spread across the bed kicking me off the bed. I hit the floor hard, he then threw a pillow and a blanket on the floor.
" That was okay Lover, but well did not really make me see stars or anything, be a good girl and stay there. Good doggy." He said smiling down on me.
It felt like hours, I hoped he was asleep. I tried to think of ways to escape but everything I came up with ended in me being hurt. I couldn't sleep so I stood very quietly and wrapped the blanket around me and tied it at the top in front of my chest and then tied it again by my waist so if I walked it wouldn't fly open. I hoped he would not hurt me if I just stood by the window so I took a chance. He didn't seem to move, he actually looked dead, but I wasn't going to take that chance.
As I was watching outside I saw someone coming down the street. As it came closer I saw it was two figures coming toward the house. When they got closer I could make out faces, one of them was Alice. She was with another woman, she was tall and very thin long dark hair that looked to be curled and walked with an animal grace. They were holding hands like lovers do. This was strange to me, they came up to the house and onto the porch. I heard the doorbell. I turned to Angelus, he seemed to still sleep. I tip toed slowly towards the door. When I got to the door I heard the highest pitched scream I had ever heard. It was Emily, then I heard more screaming. I didn't even look I just open the door and ran down the stairs and what I saw I will never forget.
When I got to the lower level I at first saw nothing so I grabbed a heavy vase for a weapon. I went to the dinning room first, nothing. The next room was the study, I heard noises I tried to open it slowly but it was thrown open by a monster. I screamed and dropped my weapon and it shattered. I knew who this was.
"Alice?" I said with a shaky breath. As I looked past her I saw Malie lying on the floor bleeding and James being held by his neck half awake by Alice.
"Hey Kitten, how's it going?" she said as she dropped James and grabbed me by the neck.
"Alice…please." I said gasping for air.
" Now, now baby don't play with daddy's toys." said the dark haired woman as she came up behind us.
"Drusilla, who is this daddy? And why have I not seen him yet?" Alice said still not letting go.
"The floor board crack and moan and daddy is home…the stars tell me you should let go or daddy will not be pleased." she said as she spun around and around like a child.
"No, this is mine, I don't care….AWWW!" All of a sudden Alice was gone in a wave of dust.
"Ops, too late Daddy is here." Drusilla said a she clapped her hands together in some sort of excitement.
"Dru, what is this? I told you I would come for you!" he said angrily.
"Daddy please, I was so alone, I missed you. I made the girl for you but she was a bad poppet she made a lovely mess." she said as she walked up to Angelus and swayed.
"It was a little earlier than I would have liked, but hey outcome still the same. Come here Dru give daddy a kiss." he said as she squealed and kissed him very hard, their faces changed and they started growling. Then at once they turned and looked at me with their glowing eyes and deformed face, I tried very hard not to scream. Drusilla approached me swaying back and forth.
"Daddy may I play with this one?" she said running a finger down my cheek to the top of my chest. Angelus grabbed her hand and pulled it away, she started to whine.
"No, Dru she is mine and mine alone, you touch again without my permission I'll break you fingers one by one." He said looking serious.
"Is that a promise daddy?" she said giggling.
"Dru, don't touch." he said taking me by the arm and pulling me next to him. Drusilla started to whine.
"Stop it, get the rest of the humans I want to see whos alive." he said looking at me.
Drusilla returned with two people being dragged behind her. I knew who they were. Emily and Johnathan.
"No please, you can have me take me away, but please don't hurt them please Angelus." I said crying.
" Oh darlin I already have you, but I want to break you." as he said those words he grabbed Emily from Drusilla and stood her up on the other side of him and bit her, she screamed and I screamed.
"EMILY, No please….please…Emily!!" as I screamed the last part she fell to the ground as did I. I pulled her to me there was nothing I could do. As I held her Angelus and Drusilla bit Johnathan on either side of his neck and he also was dead. I sat there in shock as they killed everyone else who was left in front of me. All I could do was hold Emily in my arms and stroke her hair. every time I looked up all I saw was Johnathan cold dead eyes staring back at me.
It felt like forever I had sat there, I had no more tears to cry. I had lost everything that mattered in my life, I didn't care whether I lived or died. At that moment I wanted to die.
I got up with what strength I had left and picked up a fallen statue and gripped it hard in my hand. I went looking for them, I found them in the study grinding on the floor. I held up the statue high and brought it down hard on Angelus's head, he growled and rolled off Drusilla and stood up just as quickly. I stood there statue still raised he knocked it out of my hand and grabbed me by the neck and slammed me on the floor.
"Big mistake darlin, now you have to be punished." he said ripping open the blanket.
"Just kill me, please…please I beg you." I said as he entered me once more.
" Beg me all you want, I wont kill you,…yet. No Lover you are going to be my pet and when I am bored only then will I kill you. That could take years, so welcome to the family." he said as he kept thrusting.
All I remember is the laughter of Drusilla as I blacked out.
