Chapter VI
Mina had never seen Dracula before in real life. She had heard the stories and seen paintings of him though. Usually on nights like this, she would stay home and then the next day, go to work and find a body or two in the morgue.
She never thought she would come face-to-face with the infamous Count Dracula. He was much taller than her, about 6'2; he had long, silky, black hair, clipped into a pony tail; a few strands came out over his face. He had pale, flawless, skin, and a god-like build. Mina could only stare.
She was terrified, but found herself hypnotized by his striking gaze. He was beautiful, she hated to admit. All vampires were.
She felt lost at words.
"You dared to strike a vampire, a bride to be precise," His accent sent shivers down her spine, "Quite reckless and foolish of you, my dear..."Mina snapped out of it, finally finding her voice.
"She was going to kill my mother," She said, "I already lost my father to your kind. I won`t lose my mother too." There was hardly a shaking in her voice anymore. She didn`t feel afraid of him, like she knew she should be.
He stared at her with interest. His eyes held a predatory gaze over her. Mina felt her soul turn to ice. She backed up until her back was against the wall.
The Count reached out to her, fingers brushing over her cheek gently. The young woman shuddered at the sensation. His skin was cold as ice.
"Are you afraid, little one?" He asked. Mina locked eyes with him, challenging his stare.
"No. No, I am not." She said sternly. He chuckled.
"Such a fire in you," Dracula purred, "tell me your name, little one." He combed his fingers through her hair.
"Mina," She answered against her better judgement, "Mina Ardelean…" She tried to move his hand away from her. He snatched her wrist in his hands, massaging it lightly. Mina winced, remembering she had scraped her palm.
Dracula turned her hand over, examining her injury. He inhaled the scent of her blood. He shuddered in delight. His touch felt like icy sparks dancing across her skin.
"Oh yes," He whispered, placing a soft kiss on her bloodied palm. Mina`s cheeks tinted with pink at his actions. "I see now." He ran his wet tongue along her palm, tasting the crimson liquid that dripped down her wrist.
"S-stop that." Mina winced. The vampire pulled away, licking his lips. He released her hand with a smirk.
Mina felt like a trapped animal. She was between not afraid and afraid. She knew at any moment if she made a wrong move, or did anything he did not like, she would end up as a cadaver on Alistair`s work table tomorrow morning.
"What do you want?" She asked him.
He shifted his lips to speak, but closed them. He stepped back a few paces from her, a smile tugging at his lips.
"I regret that our first meeting has to be cut short," The Count said, "maybe next time we can our meeting more… eventful."
Mina moved away from him, holding her hand to her chest. She blinked and he was gone. Her knees collapsed, causing her to fall and hit her head. Blackness flooded her vision as she fell unconscious.
