~WHERE WE LEFT OFF~
"Arthur!" She said gasping a little. His reaction was just grumbling and walking into the door going through it.
"How did he just do that!? " She asked. She looked over to watch Elizabeth drag her to the house.
"I shall explain in a second dear," She said as she sat her in a chair that just happens to pop up with a table.
"Now," She sat down in the one in front of her. "Tell me who are you?" She asked as she leaned on her hands.
"There has not been much gossip around here! Especially when most of the people that could be fun are dead." She said motioning to her head as she suddenly took it off. Abri froze in shock then everything when blank.
"Darling! My dear!" She heard a voice say.
"You took off your head again didn't you?" A male voice asked.
"hn? What?" She asked as she opened her eyes.
"Thank goodness you're awake! You passed out for a minute or two!" Elizabeth said and Abri blinked as the candle light glowed brighter. Taking a small look around she couldn't see anything but the candle light and two floating ghost looking people….
Blinking she finally got her night vision back then saw an extremely dusty room with webs and blankets over everything, then she looked back at the ghost….
Finally she looked to see she was on a fluffy bed, she was lucky it was the only thing that didn't have dust on it at all. But then she looked back at the ghost…..
"OH MY FLIPPING JEBUS YOUR GHOST!" SHE shouted and backed up into the headboard. Elizabeth nodded and Arthur just gave her a look.
"Yes we are now calm down and let us talk over some coco. " She smiled.
~Later~
Elizabeth was back in solid form and Abri was sipping on coco 3
"Wait so this is a housing area for creatures the queen had for when she needs them?!" She asked and the lady nodded.
"Yes, but we are all free now to wonder till we decide to move, but of course we are still in her debt so we do come back when summoned. Plus me and Arthur can't pass on so we enjoy this place." Elizabeth said.
"Why can't you pass on?" She asked and Elizabeth when silent. She looked to the lake that was there and across from it was an extremely large oak tree. Its branches spread out so long and thick she hug it and be able to touch her elbows. Some branches where low and it looked as if you could use them to step up like stairs and go to the top. (Look up large oak tree and you will see what it looks like) it was a few yards from an apple tree behind the maze of Alucard's garden.
"Because our bodies are still here," She pointed to herself and cleaned her cheek on her arm as her elbow was on the table.
"We want to pass on but….something is keeping us here, if we really wanted to all we have to do is sit under that tree right there." She stood up and motioned for Abri to follow. Putting down her china with care she leaped a little and floated next to Elizabeth.
"Do walk child, floating to much will spoil you and when you lose your ability to fly it could cause you to slow down when you need it." Quickly dropping back down, she fell into step with Elizabeth. As soon as they got to the water edge.
"You see that dirt spot right there?" She asked and Abri nodded.
"That big dirt spot right below the tree…. It is where a branch fell on me and Arthur on our wedding day." She started to rub the hand with a ring on her finger. Abri finally saw that there was no wedding band.
"Oh…. I'm sorry…." She said and looked to the ground unable to speak.
"We didn't even get to become man and wife…..others say it was meant to happen because we were different ages….." She said and Abri remained silent.
"But, somehow we turned to ghost, lucky for us our bodies were not to damage so we can still have a solid form." She said as she placed her hand over her heart.
"But the only thing that's missing now….is my heart beat…. But not only that…. it seems Arthur lost his heart, after the accident he became rude and angry at everything. This curse has made us constantly have fight, but I know it's because if we pass over at different times he doesn't want to hurt like he did when he first woke up as a ghost and I did for the first few days. "She reached up to her eyes and wiped the dirt away. Because she was dead and her body was technically made of dirt she cries tears of dirt.
"But no worries! I so miss my mother and father so, but I know we will work it out! Every now and again he reminds me that he still loves me." She looked at Abri who was shaking and holding her chest like she would fall apart if she didn't.
"Abri?" Elizabeth asked as she saw Abri fly at her and hug her.
"I'll - *sob *find a way for you and Arthur to *sniff* get to heaven." She said sobbing into her shoulder. Elizabeth smiled at her and patted her back.
"Abri it's quite all right my dear." She said and Abri shook her head.
"But it's not good to live down here forever, think of everyone you named that misses you. They are waiting for you to come back to them! *sob* I know I won't be able to hardly help you, but you guys are-are not cursed, jug-just misguided ghost, I am sure there really is a reason for you two to have turned into ghost! *sniff* But I'll find a way for you to get to heaven and move on." She said (Abri's face T^T *IL sniffz*) and Elizabeth smiled kindly and felt small amounts of dirt roll down her eyes.
"Helping out a stranger….Well my dear, if it makes you happy, you can try but don't stress yourself out about it…after all I am not sure after this life we will go to heaven…" She whispered that last part softly and then led her back to the back porch. Handing her a tissue she pulled from nowhere to wipe her eyes.
"Come now, don't cry you're beautiful." She said putting her hands on both her cheeks before Abri could move away and looked her in the eyes. Then snapped her fingers making a new tissue some and handing it too her making the other vanish.
"I know some things can't change but I am sure that things will get better." Elizabeth pulled her out of the chair and started to walk her around the house to the gate and lead her out. She when over to the house next to hers.
"Wait I should be getting home. It's almost morning and-"
"Non since! Now let me let you meet everyone!" Elizabeth said stopping her from running away. Getting dragged by her shirt Abri tried not to trip over her own feet.
"Jose! Edwardo! Come here!" When she heard nothing Abri suddenly felt the area grow cold. She let go of her shirt and then Elizabeth growled a little then stomped her foot.
"GET OUT HERE I KNOW YOU TWO ARE UP ALWAYS UP THIS LATE WORKING ON YOUR GARDEN!" She shouted and Abri jumped away from her and held on to the brick house behind her in fear. Suddenly two men came out. Both had pointed ears and where slim and in lose fitting button up white shirts and black pants. They both looked like twins with their tan skin and beautiful Mexican hair and eyes; one had blue eyes and the other green.
"Not so loud, you'll disturb the plants." Said the one with blue eyes and the green eyed one moved his shoulder length hair behind his ears.
"Brother it appears we have a guest don't be rude." He said putting his hand on his shoulder.
"HN, you too speak! You are not brothers for one! You used your elf nature magic to mold yourself to look like one another." Elizabeth snorted and crossed her arms under her chest. Slowly moving away from the safe wall she walked out and only saw a plain yard.
"Um… hi." She said as she tried to look for this garden they worked so hard on.
"Hello," They both said at the same time which kind of through her off. They even walked in step to her at the same time and each grabbed one of her hands and kissed it.
"Pleased to meet you." They both said with a sly smiled making her blush. Well they were just too cute! Plus they were in their collage years from what it looked like! She's an eleventh grader who can have cruses what cha going to do?
"I'm Edwardo Rodriguez." The one with blue hair said dropping her hand to bow to her.
"I am Jose Enriquez." The other bowed and then they both came up at the same time.
"Welcome to the Garden of Eve." They said as they each linked their arms and hers and lead her to the plain looking grass.
"Ugh….I doesn't see anything…" She said and then Edwardo snapped his fingers.
"Look closer." He said and then they both waved their hands over the grass at the same time and then suddenly flowers started to pop up around her in a spiral form.
"This is Beautiful!" She said as every kind of flower was lined up in the spiral. She reached out to touch one of the petals and then suddenly the flower shut. Taking her hand back in shock Jose laughed softly then took her hand and put it back there under it but tickled it's chin and then it opened again and started to glow like a light. Amazed she gently petted its baby smooth petals.
"Wonderful is it not?" They asked and she nodded.
"Very, also how do you do that taking at the same time thing?" She asked and they smiled.
"We are connected like the theory of twins." Edwardo said and helped her up.
Suddenly Jose spun her around and held on to her hand and waist like they were going to tango.
"Yes, it's just one of the many things we do when we get bored. Like every garden in this place, every grass that's here is our doing." He smirked at her shocked look. Then Edwardo took her hand and twirled her over to him.
"We like the area we live in to be pretty. But only thing the vampire would let us do was the maze in his yard and trim bushes." He said and then Edwardo kind of hissed.
"And the nymphs water garden too." They had a sour a sour look. Abri suddenly got confused. Elizabeth sweat dropped and then slipped in the huge spiral of flowers and grabbed me ghosting me out of their arms.
"Well~ we are off to see them! Because she has not yet." She said as she dragged Abri off backwards making her stumble as
they when.
"Watch the flowers!" Jose said as he waved his hand over them to make them all vanish but keep the one that she stepped on there.
"Wait one question! Why is it called the garden of Eve?" She said as they started to tend to a plant that Elizabeth stepped on.
"It's short for Evening, because our garden is most beautiful at that time, you should come over on day to see." Edwardo smiled kindly at her and she nodded and before she could reply Elizabeth dragged her across the street to the house across the road. She finally saw what the Elves house looked like. It was a leafy green color and it was two stories tall with a hedge in the front full of different flowers. How she didn't know but oh well!
Then we were suddenly at a house that was kind of girlish, strawberry orange I think it's just safe to just call it sherbert. She was kind of wondering how Elizabeth could just walk in and out of people gardens like this. Maybe being a ghost there's not stopping her so they gave up? Suddenly the sound of yawns and laughing was in her ears.
"Ah! Good Gypsy and Goldspell you are still awake!" Elizabeth said and then grabbed to towels and tossed it over her shoulders as she turned Abri around.
"Give them a minute." She whispered in her ear and Abri was going to ask why but then a woman's voice broke her train of thought.
"Why didn't you tell us you were bringing a guest? You know when we swim we don't like to wear clothing." Gypsy said and then the sound of people getting out the water made her almost wants to faint.
'They are swimming nude.?!' She thought and then another bell like voice said.
"Yes, we may be nymphs that like to skip around without clothing but we don't do it around others." Goldspell said. After waiting a few minutes of Abri trying not to run away covering her eyes and end up breaking threw a house like kool aid man, they said she could look. When she turned around there was a woman in her teen years with tan skin from the sun and brown curly thick hair down to her waist, her blue green eyes looked at her tiredly. Then there was another with eyes that where blue and clear white with gold hair breaded over her right shoulder going to her waist.
"Meet Goldspell the water/air nymph and the water/earth nymph Gypsy." She said and they nodded and waved.
"Sorry we are tired, have been working on our water garden all day." Goldspell said in a nice shy voice.
"It looks like everyone is up late tonight, heard the Elves chanting their spells from here for a long time." Gypsy said and the name made Goldspell's nose crinkle up.
"Well it was our luck! Abri here got to meet everyone! She's the new someone at the vampires house." Elizabeth said and nudged her in her ribs gently.
"Ah! So the dead beat bag of red meat finally found him one?" Gypsy say and she blushed.
"Oh no! I'm not in any way or form with him!" She said and they all laughed and giggled about how cute she was.
"My dear, he would not have took you here if he did not care at least a bit about you." She said and Abri just was too embarrassed to say anything.
"She is here for a reason." A deep voice said and then Abri epped as something wrapped around her waist and shoulder drawing her to the shadow of a tree in the yard a few feet away. She saw it started to drag her to the fence that was there,
{A/N: Ok so /I got bored and made this so you could get a visual of the houses 3 hope you like it but I made this in like ten or five min. so.. here is it is!
Red: Alucard
Pink: Elisabeth and Arthur
Green: Jose and Edwardo
Orange: Goldspell and Gypsy
{A/N: OK BACK T OTHE STORY}
She was about to fall when she felt her hands on something black and something around her shoulder. Looking up she saw Alucard standing there with only his suit, no hat or glasses to hide his red angry looking eyes.
"Well, if it isn't Alucard." Gypsy grinned and Goldspell just waved lightly and he nodded to them and looked at Elizabeth nodding then back to Abri.
"Might I ask why you were not in the yard or your room?" He asked and Abri just blushed and started to twirl her thumbs around one another.
"Well you see I flipped over the fence all cartoon like then…well." Abri tried to speak but her mind when blank when he looked at her. His tallness made him even more imitating already, especially with him so close and his arm tightening on her slightly waiting.
"Then Arthur started picking a fight and I decided to do some intros." Elizabeth said and Alucard sighed.
"If it came from your mouth I believe it, knowing you, you would have taken her against her will kicking and screaming." He said loosening his grip on her.
"So~ why is she here anyway? Any special plans?" Gypsy asked and Abri blushed and her eyes grew wide and moved away from him glad that he let her move from his arm off her shoulder.
"Oh no! I told you no already!" She said as her face grew red.
"Don't mind her, she like to pull on other peoples grenade cords till they finally blow." Goldspell said patting her head. She felt talked down to as the girl that couldn't be more than a year or three older than her. But knowing them, they might be over fifty years older.
"She is the assignment I told everyone about." Elizabeth said and they all were quite.
'That's nice to hear.' She thought and looked at Alucard like 'Say something bad and I will shank you!'
"Why would we need to protect her? I can feel she's very strong." Gypsy said and looked her down making Abri step away from her and moved to Elizabeth.
"Because when I am not able to come home for a few days, I don't trust the maids alone with her." He said and they all nodded.
"Those half vampires get a sniff of blood and they do go off like any other vampire." Goldspell nodded as Gypsy said that.
'Wait they are half vampires?!' she thought and then was confused.
"Yes, there are two that can walk in daylight so they work in the day time and two that work at night but Delilah works whenever she can because she is immune to the sun like the morning maids." He explained and she nodded. Taking her by the arm and moving her past them, over to him with a shadow where he made her stand next to him.
"The nymphs look like they are in need of sleep. So we wish you good night." He said and Abri nodded and was able to move out of his grip to hug them, but it didn't last a long time before Alucard pulled her back being suddenly over protective.
"Ok bye! Also we are glad to be able to watch over this young lady." Elizabeth said.
"Everyone has taken a liking to her, even Arthur. But I think the elves to a little too much." She smiled and winking at her making Abri blush. If she didn't have good sight she would not have seen his face turn to a frown. They all saw this and started mumbling about having a stove on and burning and a toilet needing to be unclogged then something about making up a bed?
"Let's go." He said and suddenly she felt his coat wrap around her blocking her view of everything but darkness. Before she could spaz out, he push her forward a little then it felt like her body ghost out, (like your body remains in place but your sprite took a step forward) Suddenly the coat was off and come off and they were in her room. She felt herself fall backwards. Alucard's eyes when wide as she started to fall, but he caught her just in time and had his arms wrapped around her while her head was a few inches off the ground.
"Sorry I got too dizzy." She said and gripped on his coat as he stood up and walked her over to the bed sitting her on it. He tried to put her down but she wouldn't let go and it was let her go and end up tearing his suit or let her stay…..he chose the easy one. He let out a sigh and then sat her in his lap as he put his chin on the top of her head leaning on his chest. After she started to feel better she decided to ask,
"Are you mad?" He just looked at the wall in front of him not answering. She suddenly felt bad; he must have been a bit worried with the intruder out there and all. Even if he didn't really care about her she was still under his watch.
"Alucard?" She asked and pulled on his suit a little. Moving from under his chin she saw that he had fallen asleep.
'Did he not get any sleep today he had like eight hours…? Plus another with my little adventure.' She moved so that she could get out of his grip and laid him down to where he would be comfortable. After covering him up she turned off the light and smiled as she thought about how he fell asleep holding her.
'I feel like a girl in a movie.' She said blushing slightly and holding her hand to her chest with a slightly happy smiled. She thought about how nice it was to have someone hold you like that. Only time she has had a boyfriend was two years ago but she didn't feel like she was ready for one because they didn't hardly hold hand or anything. He was so sweet but she thought that he could do better than her, because one they were both too shy to even hold hands and it was more like they were close friends but they hardly talked at all to one another. But when they broke up it was like that made them become better friends but other than that she was brain dead when it came to boys.
For one she just can't trust what they say, like if they say they like her, she doesn't know how to answer it. Also because mostly all the boys at her school were go ghetto acting or…. they tried to (see the word try). But she really was not use to this feeling in her chest that made her happy and smile. Closing the door she when to the guest bedroom and laid in bed.
'Nothing to do at night and I don't want to get Alucard angry again…. Might as well sleep till morning. But won't he be asleep? Wait he said that he can sleep whenever so…..ugh I will find out in the morning till then I just sleep till woken up.' She rubbed her face as she confused herself. Rubbing her eyes and then just rubbing her face so un-lady like rolling over stretching….she stops… then she rolls on to her back and tries to sit up but fail….tries again…..fails…gives up….. 'I CAN DO THIS!' tries again but fail and gives up all the way.
Finally after waiting for sleep to find her she realized it just hated her, she was too happy and full of energy to sleep right now. Getting up and deciding to take a shower she sneaked into the room and was getting her long T-shirt night gown and tooth brush with her toothpaste then froze when she heard Alucard shift. Slowly backing up to the bathroom she when in then closed the door before turning on the light, but as soon as she got in there she got lazy and didn't want to take a shower knowing it might make her all jacked up and stuff.
Just taking off the skirt and shirt but leaving the shorts she slipped on the oversized t shirt and brushed her teeth as quietly as she could then washed her face and made a 'not bad' Rage Face before turning out the light and trying not to spaz as it was dark. Quickly she slipped out and closed the door behind her.
"Something wrong?" Alucard asked sitting up on one elbow moving his hair out of his face. She blushed and tried to keep her inner fan girl from saying how cute he looked.
"Oh hum nothing….. Why do you ask?" She mumbled and he raised an eyebrow at her sudden thought.
"I smelled your fear, also your inner fan girl?" He asked with a smirk and then he peaked into her mind and saw what she thought about him and her little crush on him and how she was inspired by him. Suddenly he started to laugh and she gasped as her memoires played before her eyes as he read her mind of her saying how hot he was and she would just die if she meets him.
"He is just so cute! I mean really I would date him and marry him! *giggle with friend*"
"So if you could marry him you would?"
"Yes it is the most awesomeness of awesome anime character of all time!"
She closed her eyes and pushed him out of her mind by accident but he didn't care he was laughing his head off.
"I never thought *laugh* that someone would be my 'fan'. I have over heard people talk about the book and movie but never like this!" He laughed and Abri felt as embarrassed as a cat getting shaved before picture day. Face red as a tomato she turned to run out the room but suddenly he had his arms around her stomach and was chuckling still in her ear.
"Ah, the beating of your heart tells me that you like for me to hold you." He purred in her ear making her slightly angry.
"Stop just let go!" She said wanting to cry but she fought off the tears by turning them in to anger. She struggled and squired in his arms knowing it was useless even with powers.
"Calm down Abri." He purred again and held her closer and stood up to his full high so she would be off the ground and not end up knocking something over. She keep struggling and moving but he was just getting amused by the minute.
"Just admit that you like for me to hold you like this." He whispered on her ear and she blushed harder.
'He heard what I said before I left out the room?' She thought and stopped struggling for a second.
'Yes~' his voice said in her head and she pushed him out again and started to squirm again. Laughing he walked over to the bed and held her as he let himself fall backwards on the bed taking her down with him.
"Stop moving around so much." He said when she didn't stop moving.
"No let me go!" She said half way begging but he kept his arm locked around her stomach. Finally after a few more tries she gave up and let herself rest.
"Feel better?" He asked and she nodded and lay stretched out to her sides carelessly. Alucard finally loosened his grip but keep his arms around her with his fingers intertwined together on her stomach. She just laid there lying on her back not moving.
"Tired?" He asked and she nodded not wanting to speak. He sat up keeping his arms in place and moved them so they were sitting on the bed leaning on the head board with just their legs under the covers.
"So now what?" She asked and he moved to look at her face.
"hn?" He asked and she looked away.
"'What' now that you know?" She asked flushing and tried to keep a blank face.
"Hn…." He said and leaned his head against the headboard.
"Guess I could ask you to be with me." He said as he gently ran his hand down her arm to meet her hand intertwines their fingers and she felt herself stop breathing.
'He's asking me out?' she thought and she felt herself turn to jello {(Microsoft word has failed me! It didn't know what the word jello is!)}
Abri was still shocked he was even asking her this! He wanted her to be his girlfriend!
"So what do you chose?" He asked and squeezed her hand. Taking a deep breath she thought threw her mind blocking him out as she did.
"Alucard…." She said and she felt the beating of her heart go faster.
"Hn?" He waited for an answer. Abri took a deep breath hoping that this would not make things difficult. She bit her lip and forced herself to say it.
"No Alucard, I'm sorry." She said so softly only he could hear it and bit her lip harder.
