A/N: Boo! I've been busy lately so I'm trying to update all my stories! Sorry, forgive me. (Most likely going to get this note in my stories)

My Quote: "Love is a weird thing. It tears you up, joins you up. Forced love is different from Natural Love. Do you love me?"

Chapter Four: Decisions

The wind howled fiercely through the cold dark night. Owls tooting now and then, the rain thumping against the windows and the sound of the sweet lightening thunder roared. This didn't disturb everyone that was sleeping, they were too knackered after the day that had them doing executions and arrests. Slayers were in the East wing and the Vampires in the West. A young Vampire made her way to a familiar door and knocked firmly. "Come in." Said the young man who owned the room. Erin slowly made her way through the door and smiled. "Hey, you. It's past midnight, you should be asleep." Vlad says.

"Hey. I should say the same to you." Erin replied. She sat on Vlad's lap and stroked his hair. "What's keeping you up?" She asked. Vlad yawned and took three slow blinks before yawing again.

"Paperwork for the slayings I opposed." Vlad yawned again. "You know what? I'm going to bed, this can wait till morning." He said, packing the sheets up and standing up pulling his girlfriend with him.

"Vlad?" Erin asked. Vlad looked at her, tiredness written in his grey orbs. "What are you going to do about your Queen? You've been putting this off for ages. I know that I'm not going to be a wise choice but I need to know how long I've got with you. I don't want a repeat of the 'Adze' situation..." Erin said, looking at her hands.

Vlad lifted her head up to meet his eyes and gently kissed her. "I've already made my decision." He admitted. "Don't worry, you have my heart forever, no matter what." To be honest, Vlad's choice was Erin. Him, Ingrid, Jonno and even Penelope managed to convince his father. Erin looked into his eyes to see any trace of lies. When she found none, she grabbed his head and tip-toed kissing him with all her might. He responded hungrily. When they let go she yawned and closed her eyes for a while. "You tired?" He asked. She shot her eyes open and nodded.

"Yeah. I'm tired." She said. Vlad led her to his coffin and helped her in. He got in too and clicked his fingers, letting the door slam shut and wrapped his arms around Erin. She rested her head against his cold chest and he lulled her to sleep. Vlad stayed awake for a while thinking about how he was going to tell Erin about her future job. Hopefully, her future job. The thinking had gotten him too tired so he fell asleep too.

Everyone had finally worked hard enough to get Malick's minions off the streets and had gone to rest for the time being. Vlad had taken Erin to his bedroom and locked the door. Erin, being confused about his actions, sat on his coffin. "You alright?" Erin asked Vlad as he got changed for yet another important meeting but this time with the Vampire Council, which his dear older sister had a seat in.

"Yeah. About to tell the V.C my choice of Queen." He admitted. Erin stood up and wrapped her arms around him from behind.

"How long do we have?" She whispered, a tear slipping down. Vlad turned around and hugged her, leaning his chin on her head.

"Forever." He grinned. Erin leaned back with a confused look. She then pointed to herself then him. "Yes." He nodded. "I convinced Dad, he wants you to be my Queen also!" He announced.

"We have forever and beyond together! Oh my bats, I am so happy!" She squealed, hugging him, squeezing him tight. "I love you so much Vladimir Dracula." She said his name in its Russian accent.

"And I love you so, too, Erin Nicole Noble." He smiled, kissing her. She responded just as eagerly and they both tipped into Vlad's coffin. They were just about to go on a full thirty minute make out when there was a knock on the door.

"Master Vlad? The Council is here." Came a vampire servant's call. Vlad groaned.

"Coming!" He replied. He kissed the tip of Erin's nose and she giggled, before shooting out of the coffin and out the door.

"I love you." Erin whispered to the empty room.

"I love you too." She gasped when he replied in her mind then her o-shaped mouth turned into a soft smile.

Sorry it's short. I lost the plot with this so...Ya know, writer's block. Hope not to disappoint.
