Chapter 5: Honeymoon p2
Ericka and Dracula had taken another cab to the water park in a place called Otopeni, taking a large bag of everything Ericka thought they would need with them, including at least a few tubes of sunscreen. It did take a while to get there for the ride was half an hour. Dracula got bored, thinking he should have carried Ericka and their supplies to the water park cause he was faster than a taxi ride. But he had no idea where the water park is so he had no choice.
No sooner he had fallen asleep on the shoulder of Ericka , who kept herself amused by reading a book, when she squealed so loudly it hurt his ear and woke him up. She jabbed at her husband, pointing, "Look, honey, there it is! Wow, look at all those slides! And that huge pool! This is gonna be a blast!"
Dracula leaned toward the window to get a better look. His eyes widened and his mouth fell open at what he saw; a lot of really high and brightly colored twisting and turning tubes, thousands of chairs with umbrellas attached to them, a couple of buildings surrounded the area, and a whole lot of water. He had to admit, this was too surreal for him and it might actually be weird as part of him was starting to feel concerned.
"Let's go, let's go!" Ericka squealed again while she pulled Dracula out of the cab and she threw the money at the cab driver to pay him as she and her new husband dashed toward the front entrance.
They paid for their way in and rented some lockers to store their extra stuff for the day. Knowing Dracula could be easily burned by the sunlight, Ericka rented a private shaded area with chairs to relax in later in the day and she gave him a tube of sunscreen for him to smear all over his body that he looked incredibly white. Then she tied his giant hat to his head so it wouldn't fall off. He looked incredibly ridiculous in that getup, as he noticed by two passers snickering at him. Afterward, Ericka told Dracula they had to change into their swimwear in separate bathrooms for men and women. At first, he was reluctant to leave her side but she finally convinced Dracula he had to use the men's room to change in his swimwear and it was no different than the ones at the hotel.
The vampire found an unoccupied bathroom stall and changed into his black and red bat-decorated swim trunks. Then he heard someone else come in and he opened the door to his stall to see it was another human man, but he acted very weird, carrying a bottle of dark liquid in one hand and the man smelled strongly of beer.
"Heeeyy, maaann!" he slurred with enthusiasm as he stumbled into the bathroom and had to steady himself on the large sinks.
Dracula gave him an awkward wave hello to the obvious drunkard and tried to make his way pass him, but the man put his hand on the vampire's chest. The vampire rolled his eyes, wishing this man would leave him alone.
"Lots of hot babes out there. You see that brunette babe go into the lady's bathroom out there?" the drunkard slurred nonsensically.
Dracula gently pushed the drunken man aside, but his eyes were glowing red with jealousy and protective instincts. "That brunette babe is my wife! You will stay away from her!" he snarled in a warning tone.
But the drunken man laughed like an idiot and happened to look toward the wash sink's large wall mirror and noticed only his reflection. He looked between it and the pale dark haired man he was talking to. "Whoa, weird, dude! You're not there, but you're here. I must really be wasted."
Dracula would have said something to backlash him, but then a man wearing the park's uniform came in to escort the drunkard out as if knowing he was causing a ruckus, but the drunkard ran for the nearest stall to vomit. Dracula rolled his eyes and shook his head at this disgusting human. He remembered seeing monsters drunk before. When he left the men's room, he took a seat in the sun so he could wait for his lovely wife. But then he heard a familiar voice.
"There you are, Drac!" Ericka greeted him with a big smile, and her eyes enlarged at seeing him in his swim trunks. She may have seen him naked whenever they made love, but right now he was the sexiest man in the park to her. She whistled flirtatiously, "Oh, honey, we are going swimming a lot more often at home, because you totally own that manly swimsuit."
Dracula smugly posed for her and he noticed she was still breathtaking in her skimpy two piece blue bikini, which made his heart leapt into his throat. "And you look stunning, just like you always do," he teased her, part of him getting frisky again.
Ericka giggled, and then she pulled on his hand and started to run, yelling excitedly, "C'mon, I know just where I want to start."
Dracula was still unsure and wary about everything in this park and he wanted to politely refuse her, but Ericka's excitement was contagious even for him and he didn't want to hurt her feelings, so he kept up with her. They raced up the stairs that would take them to the top of one of the tall water slides at the big pool. Unfortunately when Dracula saw how high up it was, not only did he felt dizzy, he became worried that he and Ericka were going to hurt themselves on this watery contraption.
"Oh no, no, no, no! I knew this was a bad idea! Let's go, honey!" He turned into a bat, shaking his head frantically, and flew back to his shaded seat for safety.
"Drac, there's nothing to be afraid of!" Ericka tried to call him back, but the vampire bat had already left. She didn't know what got into him, wishing he would lighten up and the slide was perfectly safe and she would come out at the bottom.
The line had moved onward when she had been staring back at Dracula hiding under the umbrella and she moved up the steps to make it to the top. She got in line and waited for her turn. The lifeguard told her it was okay to go, so Ericka hurled herself down the wet slide faster than Dracula in bat form, and she made it by a few feet when she splashed at the bottom. Bursting from the water's surface, Ericka laughed ecstatically at the thrill she experienced. She walked out of the pool soaking wet and was met by an anxious Dracula.
"Are you alright?! Did you hurt yourself?!" he asked, looking so scared he looked like he was ready to drag them out of the park.
"Drac, I'm fine!" she responded, trying to calm him down. "It was a water slide. They're supposed to be fun. Why don't you join me for the next one?"
"No way!" Dracula stubbornly refused, shaking his head. "Who knows what could happen?"
Ericka rolled her eyes. And she thought he had changed his view on ideas for having fun. "Fine, go ahead and stay under the umbrella all day, but you're gonna regret it!"
Grunting, she marched up a different set of stairs to ride another water slide. This slide was a tunnel slide and it was very high up, which Dracula stared on in concern and confusion while Ericka climbed the steps higher and higher. She waited for several minutes in another long line, while her vampire husband worried that this 'slide' might be dangerous and unsafe.
When she made it to the top, Ericka looked back down on Dracula and wished how he could be up there with her and enjoy this experience with her. She didn't pay attention to the rude lifeguard or the impatient people behind her telling her to go on, so she was pushed forward by the lifeguard, snapping her out of her thoughts. Ericka cried out when she felt herself being shoved down the tunnel slide.
As soon as Dracula saw this, using his clairvoyance, his concern turned to fear. "NO! ERICKA !" He rushed up the stairs, ignoring the complaints of the people he passed by, and almost dashed into the tunnel of the slide, but the lifeguard held him back.
"Hey, stop! You have to wait your turn to go!" shouted the lifeguard.
"No! My wife might be hurt because of you!" Dracula growled, roughly pushing the lifeguard aside to see how he liked it. He turned into a bat and flew into the dark tunnel.
"What the...!" the lifeguard gasped. Surely he didn't just see a man, a rather pale one at that, turn into a bat in broad daylight. "I'm seeing things. I've been in the sun too much," he mused, shaking his head.
"ERICKAAAA!" Dracula bellowed fearfully as he flew down the seemingly winding tunnel, certain she had disappeared into a dark abyss somewhere and was gone forever.
But the sunlight, slightly blocked off by a cloud, almost blinded him when he suddenly emerged at the bottom as he resumed his original form and splashed into the pool. He shook the water off his face when his head broke the surface, but he felt instant relief when he spotted Ericka staring at him while she sat at the pool's edge.
"Ericka , you're alright!" he cried happily, swimming and then crawling out of the pool to embrace her.
"Drac, what's the matter with you? I thought you chickened out!" she exclaimed, pulling herself out of his arms.
"Oh, my love," he sighed. "I saw you being forced down that bottomless tunnel by those wretched humans and I assumed I would lose you."
"Honey, it's just a water slide designed that way and I was forced down it because I got distracted watching you!" Ericka groaned in slight irritation. "It's not like it was a wormhole to another dimension or whatever." He looked confused by her strange human words, but she shrugged at him. "Never mind. I was watching you cause I was wishing you could've joined me."
With a guilty sigh, Dracula looked up at the slide his wife had used before going on the tunnel slide. If Ericka wanted him to join her for some fun on those slides, he should have joined her and kept her company. He shouldn't have left her alone cause she wasn't having fun without him. This was their honeymoon, and if she wanted to have fun he was supposed to have fun with her.
"If you want to, do you want to go for another slide, this time with me?" he asked hopefully.
"I thought you'd never ask!" Ericka , overjoyed at his decision to try the water slide, threw her arms around him in a big hug.
This time he was the one dragging her up the staircase. In a flash, they made it to the top. Dracula went down the water slide first, laughing ecstatically. Ericka went down after him, pleased her husband was getting involved in this. He emerged from the bottom and she came afterward.
"Oh-ho-ho!" Dracula laughed as he wiped the water away from his eyes. "You were right, Erica , this is fun. Maybe I could make a water slide for the pool at my hotel."
Ericka grinned. "And the fun's just beginning, Drac. C'mon, let's go for a swim." She grabbed his hand and took him to a pool further away from the one surrounding the slides.
Along the way, Dracula noticed the kids' pool area and he slowed down a bit to look at the kids with a smile spreading across his mouth. Ericka noticed this and only paused briefly to watch dozens of children playing and laughing as they ran through sprinkling water, or tried to dodge sprouting water streams and splash each other playfully in a kiddie pool area.
Ericka entwined her arm to his and knew who he was thinking about. "They remind you of Mavis?"
"Yes," he whispered sadly. "I miss her."
"I miss them too, but we'll see them again." She turned his face toward hers with a gentle hand on his cheek, smiling dreamily. "And maybe someday, do you think... you and me... we might...?"
"I'm sure we could, and maybe we will someday, but..." his tone got sadder a lot more. "Even at my age, I don't know if I'm ready for more kids again."
Ericka smiled softly and pecked him on the lips. "We'll have lots of time to think about it later, this is still our honeymoon and it's just getting started. Let's go!" She ran into the big family pool and enticed him to follow her as she dived into the pool, and he needed no other encouragement as he dove into the pool with her.
Then she splashed some water into his face. At first the vampire gave her an annoyed glare, but she grinned mischievously like she dared him to get back at her. He shot her his own daring smile like he did before starting to race tables with her and Johnny a few nights ago. With a wave of his hand, a moderate sized wave of water controlled by his magic shot at Ericka , making her cry out as it encompassed her. Dracula laughed loudly when he saw Ericka's drenched hair covering her entire face, which she moved out of the way before splashing more water at Dracula. He nearly swallowed some unpleasantly tasting water, but quickly spat and sputter out more water. They continued splashing at each other for a long minute or two before she threw herself into his embrace and he swung her around, laughing like little kids trying to get back at each other. Dracula was having such a good time with Elisa, he forgot to notice his sunscreen was wearing off and his hat had flown off in his earlier attempt to 'rescue' her from the slide, but he didn't care because the sun was still blocked out by the cloud, later joined by a few more clouds, and he was having the time of his life with his beloved wife.
Just then, a colorful inflated beach ball landed near them and Dracula looked at it curiously. "What's that? Some kind of floating witch's crystal ball?" He picked it up to examine it.
A young friendly voice shouted at them, "Hey, buddy! Toss it back over here!"
Dracula only raised a confused eyebrow while Ericka took the red, white, and blue striped beach ball from him, saying, "It's a beach ball, Drac. A pool toy. Everybody has one." She tossed the ball back over to the young man who waved at her and Dracula, a young man about Johnny's age and some of his friends, two more young men and possibly their girlfriends. They actually waved over the newlyweds to join them for a game of volleyball, though Dracula wasn't so sure about associating with humans.
"C'mon, just one game," Ericka urged him. "It'll be fun."
During the volleyball game, Dracula wasn't sure what to do while Ericka and the young people tossed the ball around and when it came to him, he held the ball for a moment. His wife and the others encouraged him to toss it to someone and he did, but he had it flying a little too far and some ten year old kids started playing around with it before tossing it back, making the newlyweds and their new friends laugh amusingly.
Soon, they had to say goodbye and got out of the large pool so they could head for their private covered chairs to relax, but not before they passed two tipsy, hormonal men who eyed Elisa up and down.
"Whoa, dude," one of them slurred to his friend. "Check out that chick, sooo hooot."
"I want me some," the friend added in his drunken state.
"Dude, I dare you," the first one said, smiling wickedly. "I dare you to go over there and do it."
"I don't know, man. Look at the guy she's with, he might kick my ass," his friend said reluctantly.
"Who cares, man. Just do it, c'mon." The first one pushed his friend forward, completely unaware the guy that chick was with was her husband and he was Count Dracula, and his acute vampire hearing heard every word they were saying.
He growled faintly since it irked him so much those annoying and distasteful human delinquents eyed his wife like that, like thinking about raping her for a game they were trying to gain. What was only a brief moment froze in time for Dracula as various thoughts passed through his mind while he remembered the way he seethed and burned with jealousy at the other monsters eyeing Ericka the same way when she first arrived at the hotel, and he wanted to hypnotize them into thinking they were they chickens or something. This got to painfully reminding him of how the same thing happened with Martha so many years and years ago, especially when they first met in Hawaii and then took their honeymoon there some time later. How he wanted to strangle every monster that eyed his wife if they didn't back off or avert their gaze from Martha as he glared at them dangerously.
Those perverted thoughts reminded him of how he so enjoyed banging and making love to Martha and the glorious way they completed each other, and how the two of them roared wildly whenever they reached orgasm. Ohh, starry freaking night! Those were wonderful nights, just like he did with Ericka now. The only drawback back then, kind of like now, was the complaining from the neighbors that heard the vampires' roars of orgasm upon reaching the climax, only back then some human nearest to them had thrown a rock with a threatening note tied to it saying 'Keep it down, Demons, or I will destroy you!'
Suddenly he was pulled out of his thoughts when Dracula heard Elisa give a startled cry, drawing stares from a lot of other people, as he saw one of the men pull down her bikini bottom to her knees and give her butt a slap, but she was able to pull them back up to save some of her dignity and slapped him extremely hard on the face.
"You drunken pervert!" Ericka shouted, furiously.
The two drunken men laughed, one of them mocking her, "Oooh, I like 'em fiery!"
But Dracula was enraged at such disrespect men would show toward his wife. He didn't care if he was in public or if anyone saw him, so he roared angrily at the two tipsy men, frightening them terribly.
"Oh my God, man!" cried the guy who pulled on Ericka's bikini. "That guy's some kind of freaky monster!"
"Dude, I think he's a vampire!" his friend cried.
Dracula came closer to them with deep glowing red eyes and declared loudly, "Oh, I'm not a vampire, I'm the vampire! And no snot-nosed drunken bastard humiliates my wife!"
For a moment, the two men locked eyes in shock that they were meeting a real vampire, and wondered if he was going to drink their blood in payback. But Dracula smiled wickedly when he had a better idea. With a hand gesture, he telekinetically yanked their own swimming trunks down their legs and tripped them as they landed on their own bottoms when their swimming trunks flew up in the air to Dracula. With another wave, Dracula made their swimming trunks fly into the pool. A lot of nearby people laughed hysterically at the young men and applauded for what Dracula did.
Moving so quickly like lightning, Dracula scooped up Ericka and swiftly ran with her in a trail of blue mist to the park's private bathrooms to check her over, including a sudden desire for her.
Park security officers came for the two tipsy men and covered them with towels of the park logo. "Alright, you two weirdos. It's time for you to go," said one of the officers.
"Sick, dude," said the drunkard. "We just got our asses kicked by a real vampire."
"Sweet," his friend added with a dorky smile.
The young people whom Dracula and Ericka had tossed the beach ball with were also impressed, one of them saying, "That was too cool, guys."
"Yeah, we just hung out with a genuine vampire," the lead young man pumped a fist in the air.
"Hey, didn't he said he was Count Dracula?" his girlfriend asked excitedly, "That would've been so cool!"
Her friends agreed excitedly.
Dracula telekinetically locked the private bathroom door as he arrived with a surprised Ericka in his arms and he gently set her down on the toilet seat. "Are you alright, my Blood Rose?"
"I'm fine. I'm just glad you taught them a lesson..." Ericka tried to reassure him but when she recognized that intensifying red glow in his eyes, she knew all too well what it meant. "Oh no. Uh, Drac...anywhere would be better than here. C'mon, get a hold of yourself!"
But the sight of her exposed bottom had awakened his desires, making him outright horny with increasing lust. "I don't care! I need you, Ericka ," Dracula seethed seductively. "I need you now! No one can have you but me, and only me!"
Instantly, Dracula tore off his restrictive swimming trunks and tore off Ericka's two
piece bikini. He lifted her up and pinned her back against the tiled wall for leverage. He captured her lips with his own, caught in another intensifying kiss while he pressed his crotch against hers to grind on her and to arouse themselves. His erection was ready and he pushed deeper into her womanhood as he panted in grunts, the hunger consuming his mind again.
"Drac, wait! Drac, stop!" she tried to resist and push him back, but he was too strong for her and he slipped in deeper, making her own desires awaken as she began to go limp in his arms, breathing, "Ohh, Drac! Oh, Dracula!"
Ericka would have considered this marital assault for a moment, but Dracula always had this effect on her to make her desire for him no matter what, and in a strange way he was healing her spirit from that unexpected humiliation. So she held her grip around his neck tighter as she wrapped her legs around his waist to guide him into her, driving Dracula crazy as he thrust his hips into her at an increased pace and seemed to fan the flames of their desires.
"Unngh, oh, Ericka !" Dracula groaned with a snarl as he plowed into her as though struggling with some inner turmoil, feeling a building pressure. "Ohh, Ericka , how I love you!"
"Ohhh, urgh, Dracula! I love you!" Ericka cried between panting and groaning when she also felt the climax rising as he continued thrusting into her, pushing them both over the edge.
At last, they peaked in orgasm and tried to hold in screams of fulfillment when Ericka felt Dracula's seed flow into her. It burned in her chest and Dracula felt his heart pounding against his own chest. A trail of white milky fluid trailed down his legs while Dracula for the first time held in a roar and instead loudly groaned in satisfaction.
Outside, a passing park lifeguard on his way to one of the water slides to change shifts with his co-worker briefly glimpsed to the private bathrooms, thinking he heard someone groan, but he shrugged it off like his imagination was getting to him or that must have been the echo of loud music from another part of the park.
Dracula's legs suddenly felt like rubber bands and he couldn't hold himself up any longer. He and Ericka kissed each other deeply one last time when she became limp. He slid with her against the wall and to the cold tiled floor, using a free hand to catch their fall as they landed. The two Draculas separated and collapsed on their backs to the floor and took deep breathes as they lay on the bathroom floor for a two minutes to catch their breath, exhausted yet invigorated.
Sitting up, Ericka slowly crawled over to Dracula. "As appreciated as this is, and as fantastic as this was - don't ever do that again in public! At least not without some self-control and we should do this often in our room."
The two of them laughed as they got up and retrieved their swim suits and redressed in them, trying to make their way discretely out of the private bathroom.
"Maybe we should go," Ericka said reluctantly. "Who knows what people saw and what they might say. Besides, there's still some light in the day and I want to check out the rest of Bucharest."
Dracula grunted in disappointment, since leaving a fun place didn't seem right, but another part of him felt that Ericka was right. She didn't know for sure nor did she really care where they would go, but she wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible.
But first she wanted to take a quick selfie; she had to explain what that meant, with her and Dracula at the water park with her IPhone, hoping he would at least show up in the picture. She took the picture and emailed it to their family and friends at the hotel, and another to Mavis and Johnny. Thankfully, vampires do appear in IPhone photos.
They cleaned up in the showers to wash away the chlorine and redressed from their wet suits to their regular clothing (although Dracula found his large sunhat at the lost and found center) before gathering their things from their rented lockers. The same cab that had dropped them off at the water park had come for them again.
As soon as the cab drove away from the park with its passengers inside, Dracula asked Ericka , "So where do you think we should go now?"
Ericka could hear an undertone of reluctance and uncertainty in his voice, so she simply smiled and said, "I know a great place to go next; Terra Park, a funfair."
Dracula raised a confused eyebrow again, not sure what it meant but he hoped it was as fun as the water park.
