On Monday when the trio went to school, after the long explanation of Vlad's vampirism and the swearing of Ellis that she wouldn't tell anyone, Vlad and Chloe were holding hands while Ellis and Robin just blushed when they looked at each other.
"We have to do something about them. They can't hide their feelings forever." Chloe whispered into Vlad's ear. He nodded.
"Hey, Ellis!" said Chloe, loudly. "I couldn't help but REMEMBER when you told me who you had a crush on. And since you kept saying mine, I'm going to speak out yours."
Robin tensed. Ellis tensed. Vlad smirked.
"It's Robin." Chloe announced, and then she grabbed Vlad's hand and pulled him away so Ellis could be alone with the boy she loved.
Vlad spun Chloe round and laughed. "That was evilly ingenious." He said.
"I know." Chloe said, adopting a smirk of her own.
"You're so sexy when you do that." Vlad leaned forward and kissed Chloe. She slid her arms round his neck and he held her waist. It had started to become passionate when they heard the voice Chloe loathed. Joanie Stewart, the bully. The one who wanted Vlad.
"Hello, Vlad!" Joanie batted her eyelids. Chloe broke away from Vlad, and walked back over to Ellis and Robin. They had just broken apart from kissing.
Ellis' mouth dropped open, and so did Robin's.
Chloe turned.
Joanie was kissing Vlad, her arms round Vlad's neck just as Chloe had. Vlad didn't pull away, but didn't seem to be kissing back. Until he held her waist like he had with Chloe.
Chloe felt sick. She turned and ran. Out of the school, as fast as she could.
She felt someone pull her to the side.
Vlad was holding her shoulders.
"Please, Chloe, that didn't mean anything!" Vlad whispered. He was…crying.
"Oh, Vlad." Chloe breathed, and she slid her arms around his neck and kissed him gently. When she pulled back, she smiled, tears shining in her own eyes.
"I know, I know it meant nothing." She whispered, tears spilling now. He wiped hers away and his own. Then he kissed her passionately. After a while, they went to school. But before they entered, Chloe smiled at Vlad.
"I love you, Vladimir Dracula, and I always have. I always will." She said.
They had never actually had time to say those there words before.
"I love you too Chloe Branagh. Always and forever, till the end." Vlad replied.
And yet he knew somehow that there wouldn't be a forever.
After school Chloe took Vlad's hand and whispered "I have to tell you something."
Vlad took her into the castle and turned to her. "What is it?"
"I want you to turn me. Into one of you, a vampire. You can't stay alone for the rest of your life, and I want to be with you." Chloe said.
Vlad sighed, and agreed.
The process was done. Vlad was awaiting Chloe to awaken.
When her eyes flickered open, he fed her blood.
After a while, she hugged him. "Vlad," she said. "Is there any way we can stay alive without blood?" she asked.
"We have to drink sometimes, but from animals if we like. I prefer to do it if the animal is dead." Vlad explained.
Chloe nodded, and hugged him tightly.
