Chapter 2

(Taken)

Katie's point of View

I couldn't help but smile as I walked down the stairs and out of the Theater with Sam. I enjoyed seeing plays and for once I'd; finally, found a boyfriend that liked them as well. As we headed down the street I noticed Sam meant for us to cut down an Ally way to reach the parking Garage quicker.

"Why don't we take the long way?" I suggested quickly. It may sound Juvenile but I've never liked ally ways; they scare me.

"This is shorter," Sam replied.

"But it's such a nice night?" I countered. "It will give us a few minutes more together."

Sam gave me a funny look before an amused smile crossed his face. "You're afraid of alleys aren't you?"

"I am not!" I firmly denied.

"Good." Before I could protest, let alone stop him, he pulled me into the ally way. "Don't worry, I'll protect you," He assured me and wrapped a comforting arm around my shoulders. Calmly he began leading me through the dark almost tunnel like Ally.

At first it wasn't that bad, but as we continued on I got a funny feeling in my back. 'Maybe I'm just being paranoid,' I told myself silently. But as the hair on the back of my neck began to stand up my heart rate increased. Something wasn't right.

"Sam let's go back I don't…"

Sam stopped and we turned to face each other. With a sigh he said. "You do know you're being paranoid don't you? There is absolutely…" His words died as we both looked in the direction we'd been walking.

Standing in the center of the Ally way blocking our path was a man in a tuxedo. I know Sam was thinking what I was, "Where the hell did he come from?" The man was standing perfectly still. He didn't move our direction nor did he speak.

"Yeah okay," Sam said in sudden agreement with me. We both turned and took two steps. He was suddenly there before us blocking us once again.

My eyes widened. 'How did he do that?' Sam squeezed my hand and I looked at him. He gave me a bare nod and I understood. We turned and ran.

An amused laugh echoed through the Ally way. I looked back and he was gone. Looking forward though, he appeared toward the end of the ally blocking our path. Sam and I almost slid to a stop we were running so fast.

"Shit!" I looked at Sam to see him looking behind us. I turned to see two people headed our way. Their laugher rang lightly and I knew we were in trouble. I looked toward the man in the tuxedo. Even in the dimly lit ally I knew he was pleased. Two more people came up behind him. They were all together; Sam and I were in trouble.

"What do you want?" I asked trying to keep the fear I felt out of my voice.

The man frowned before finally speaking, "It is a shame when a woman is stronger than the man she is with," He said in a rich European accent. "Hardly a gentleman," He scolded barely giving Sam a glance.

As the stranger got closer Sam tightened his grip on my hand. It seemed to amuse the man as he laughed a sinister laugh. "Remove your hand from the woman."

"Katie's mine!" Sam said firmly.

I know I glared at him. 'Did he have to tell the stranger my name?'

"No, no, the woman is not yours," He replied as he came within only a few feet. "Young Katie belongs to me now."

Sam stepped forward and it was a mistake. The man barely swiped his hand at him and Sam went flying through the air and slammed into the side of one of the brick buildings.

"Sam!" I yelled and went to run to him.

"No," The strange man said grasping my right arm between the elbow and shoulder. "He is of no concern to you."

"He's my boyfriend!" I yelled at him.

"Consider this the end of your relationship. You now belong to me," He said in a firm unconcerned tone.

"NO I.." Hearing a scream I looked over to see Sam attacked. The man was at his throat. My eyes widened. Sam was dropped to the ground. The other man dressed in jeans and a long sleeve shirt looked my direction. Liquid was running down his chin. 'It's blood.' Horrified I looked at the strange well dressed man. "Who are you?" I asked in a pleading tone.

The man smiled. "I am Count Dracula."

Normally I'd laugh but every fiber in my being told me he was telling the truth. This man, creature, was the living breathing Prince of darkness; a nightmare come to life.

"What do you want?"

Gently he stroked a hand through the left side of my hair. "You young Katie, I want you." I did what most girls would do and blacked out.

Dracula's point of view

I watched with amusement as Katie was led into the alley way. I could sense fear rating off the dark haired woman. She was afraid. I followed and watched. I couldn't help but smile as I watched her back arch in weariness. The woman was clearly perceptive. As I got closer I could see the tiny hairs on the back of her neck raise.

"Sam let's go back I don't…" My soon to be companion began. As the man stopped and turned to face her I slipped past them. I turned around and waited for them to notice me.

"You do know you're being paranoid don't you? There is absolutely…" His words died as the two of them looked in the direction I now stood.

Their stunned expressions were invigorating. Their sudden decision to flee however was not. I summoned my minions through my connection to them. They turned to run and I laughed. They'd never escape me.

"Shit!" The man yelled seeing my minions make their presence known.

"What do you want?" Katie asked trying to keep the fear I knew she felt out of her voice.

I couldn't stop the frown that formed on my face. "It is a shame when a woman is stronger than the man she is with," I commented in my rich European accent. "Hardly a gentlemen," I scolded barely giving Sam a glance.

As I moved closer toward the couple the mere boy named Sam tightened his grip on my lady. It was amusing and annoying at the same time. I released a sinister laugh. Did he really think he could keep her from me? "Remove your hand from the woman," I warned.

"Katie's mine!" The mortal said firmly.

I watched with amusement as the woman glared at him. I knew it was because he'd said her name; she was unaware I already knew.

"No, no, the woman is not yours," I told him as I came within only a few feet. "Young Katie belongs to me now."

Sam foolishly stepped toward me and I didn't hesitate. With a bare swipe of my hand the mortal went flying through the air and slammed into the side of one of the brick buildings.

"Sam!" Katie yelled and went to run to him.

"No," I told her grasping her right arm between the elbow and shoulder. "He is of no concern to you."

"He's my boyfriend!" She yelled at me.

"Consider this the end of your relationship. You now belong to me," He said in a firm tone. Whether the dark haired beauty wanted to be with me or not didn't matter; I wanted her.

"No I..." Hearing a scream she looked over to see Sam attacked. Her eyes widened as one of my minions tore out his throat and Sam was dropped to the ground. My minion looked in our direction; revealing blood running down his chin.

Horrified Katie looked at me with accusing eyes. "Who are you?" she asked in a pleading tone.

I smiled pleased to be able to finally reveal myself to her. "I am Count Dracula."

"What do you want?" Katie asked as fear began to overtake her.

Gently I stroked my hand through the left side of her hair. "You young Katie, I want you." Katie reacted like most who meet me; she passed out. With a chuckle I caught the beautifully dressed woman. Picking her up into my arms I began to carry her bridal style toward my Limo as it pulled into the alley way. "Time to take Katie to my home away from the castle."
