Lady Elizabeth drifted from the room silently. Harry watched her leave, still in shock from the vampire glamour and her story. Edward was holding his hand and Harry noticed that his grip was hurting him. He prised his fingers free and looked at Edward. Edward raised his eyebrows.

'Well, that was an experience,' he said. They both laughed, it felt good in the tension of the moment.

'What happened to me?' asked Harry dazed. Edward reached out and stroked back the lock of hair which had fallen over Harry's glasses' lenses.

'She glamoured you. I don't think it was intentional. It's something some vampires do to all humans they meet, to some extent. She obviously decided you were important for her survival and so the glamour kicked in. I didn't think it would work so easily on you.' He smirked at Harry's uncomfortable expression.

'Have you ever tried to glamour me?' asked Harry.

'No,' Edward said shortly, 'like I said, I presumed it wouldn't work. But now I know...' he gazed into Harry's eyes and Harry felt himself sinking under Edward's topaz spell. He shook his head and punched Edward lightly.

'Hey, less of that thank you!' he held Edward's hand again. 'Anyway you don't need to glamour me.' Edward smiled crookedly; the conversation had reminded him of what he had seen with Dracula and Harry. He should have known the Countess could glamour Harry so easily.

'Harry...' he began tentatively. Harry looked up from where he was resting his head on Edward's shoulder.

'Mm?'

'What happened when you met Dracula?' As the words left his mouth he felt stupid. He didn't need to question Harry's loyalty, didn't need there to be an opportunity for Harry to lie to him. What had happened to them since they had encountered Dracula? There were too many questions where once there had been certainty. He felt Harry take a deep breath.

'He tried to seduce me.' Harry's voice was flat and Edward could hear the pain behind the words. Harry was studying Edward's fingernails on the hand he was holding. Edward knew he was distracting himself so he could just speak the words and not think too much about what Edward's reaction might be. The silence lengthened between them, stretching Edward's nerves taut. 'I thought....he made himself look like you. I was so happy to have found you; I didn't question how easy it had been. He kissed me and...' Harry's voice shook, 'he touched me and then I realised it wasn't you, I realised who it was. I ran away.' Harry's head hung and Edward could feel the shame emanating off him in waves. 'I feel awful about it, Edward. I really didn't know it wasn't you until...'his voice trailed off.

'It's ok,' Edward soothed, 'he tried the same thing with me.' He felt Harry's face move to look at him questioningly. Edward bent and kissed him. Harry's hands ran through Edward's hair pulling him into Harry's embrace. Edward pulled back; he needed to know one more thing. 'How did you know it wasn't me?' He asked, his voice rough with desire as he felt Harry's hands slip beneath the waistband of his trousers. Harry's breathing was ragged in Edward's ear as he whispered back.

'He wasn't as... compliant as you are.' Edward felt Harry's mouth smile against his ear. Edward growled and grabbed at Harry's jeans and pulled him closer.

)))))))))))))))))))))))(((((((((((((((((((

Harry stroked Edward's hair absentmindedly. This feels better, he thought to himself, back to normal. He chuckled slightly at the thought that sex with a vampire could be classed as normal. What kind of turn had his life taken? Edward stirred next to him.

'What?' he asked looking into Harry's eyes as the wizard's body shook with laughter.

'Nothing,' laughed Harry, 'just thinking about how weird my life is.' He looked up at Edward's confused face and laughed harder. Edward's eyes widened and he laughed too. Soon they were both clutching each other and bellowing with laughter.

'Shhh,' spluttered Edward, looking around nervously and then laughing again as Harry's face turned red with the effort of trying to be quiet. It was a few moments before they could look at each other without laughing. Hysteria, thought Harry, that's what this is, we're hysterical. That started the giggling again.

They sobered up as Mitchell's serious face looked through the doorway.

'What's going on here?' his soft brogue sounded puzzled at the sight of the two of them laughing themselves silly.

'Sorry,' Edward pulled himself together, Harry watching the stillness return. 'Have you finished?' his voice was neutral. Mitchell shook his head.

'Not me mate, don't drink from humans if I can help it.' He swept his dark hair back from his face with a hand. Without the long black hair he looked young and his facial stubble made him look very human. Harry decided he like Mitchell. Edward's eyebrows rose.

'Oh? Spike implied you were happy to...' he stopped midsentence Spike was behind Mitchell, looking over his shoulder.

'Right,' Spike said wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. 'Tank's full, dial's in the black, let's get rolling.' Edward stood, Harry followed him. The rest of the vampires came in after Spike. Lady Elizabeth was holding Carmilla's hand, she didn't meet their gaze. Harker hung at the back, his hands folded. 'So, chief,' Spike slapped Harry's back making him wince, 'what's the plan?'

Harry was taken aback at the vampires' natural acceptance of his leadership. They were all much older than he was and he had presumed that the eldest would lead. Who would that be? Lady Elizabeth he decided, but she was looking at him as expectantly as all the others. He swallowed.

'Er... I think we carry on until we meet some resistance, or Ruthven and Zillah,' he met Edward's puzzled look,' they helped me get in here. I don't know where they've gone now. Zillah insisted I look for you alone.' Mitchell spoke up next.

'There's a meeting of three corridors down there,' he pointed in the opposite direction from Dracula's 'larder', 'I went and had a look while you lot were eating and... catching up.' He winked at Edward. Harry was surprised to see Edward wink back.

'Right, three paths, we should split up. It's too crowded for all of us to wander about in these narrow passages. Carmilla and Lady Elizabeth can take one passage, Spike, Mitchell and Sir Francis another and Jonathan, Edward and I will take the third. We need to find a way out of here but I want to find Mina Harker and get her out too. It's up to the rest of you what you do; I'm not your leader.' He looked defiantly at the other vampires, catching Harker's eyes and accepting the gratitude he found reflected there.

'I don't think we should split up,' announced Spike stuffing his hands into the pockets of his leather coat.' It's not safe.' To everyone's surprise Sir Francis spoke up.

'Harry's right,' he said shrinking back from everyone's amazed looks. 'It's no good just running around like a rats in maze. If we find Mina, we bring her with us and we get out.' His chin jutted out with more determination that anyone had seen from him so far.

'Agreed,' said Mitchell firmly, looking pointedly at Spike. Everyone murmured their agreement, Spike reluctantly.
