I was throughly fed up. I wasn't exactly sure why. Perhaps ti was the fact that I hadn't seen an old face I knew in ages. Yes, Santino was a fine man, but some things just got under my skin easily than others. it might be the fact that my name was plundering from everything he was doing. I was the father of vampires and I would not have my title ruined. I treated my enemies as close to friends as I did my friends, if I had any of those. It was common curtesy of war. When I had been captured, I hadn't been treated correctly and that is why I did what I did now. In my bedroom is where I stood, pacing back and forth, my hands folded neatly on the small of my back. The thoughts in ym head fluttered about. I needed to get out. I had recently returned to my castle, yes, but I would let Santino play his sick games by himself for awhile. I headed out the door, down the grand staircase and yelled down itno the dungeons. "Don't kill anyone while I'm gone." It was a sarcastic gesture, but ti would do. I headed out of the castle and into the courtyard. The fresh air outside brushed against my face, leaving me with a new, clean feeling. My eyes darted toward the sky and I fled up into it, gracing ym body over the castle walls, guarding my outside territory. Once I was alighted ontot he ground, I headed into town. The sun was just beginning to set, even if the sun didn't bother me any longer. After a certain amount of centuries, vampires started to become quite amune to it. The town nearby wasn't much, but it got me through the things I needed at the time. Hunting was held here, I picked up the needings of my castle as well. I did wonder where Igor went though. I could use a mindless servant right about now. Perhaps he was down having fun with Santino. The idiot's mind couldn't comprhend much and all he had seen me do in the past was the evil doings of a wicked vampire. That is what i was, a wicked vampire with no sense of being. Once in town, I darted into a nearby alleyway, leaning up against a wall. My head smashed lightly against it, my eyes closing very slowly. I needed to feed, but not on just anyone. I needed someone young and strong to satisfy me. I would not make a mockery of my kind by picking out anyone and killing more than one a night. I had a certain respect for the town I lived in. They feared me, but they also knew I would come each night to feed. We fed on them, sometimes their animals and they didn't burn down my castle. It was sort of a truce.
I was walking the streets after having fed and felt a familiar presence. I started searching for this presence and walked into a dark alleyway to find my sire standing there. What he did to me still made me angry but then he saved me from my mortal death. "Good evening Vlad. How have you been all these centuries that I have been away from you?" I asked him.
Indeed I had left him once I knew that I could. I went several countries away. Keeping safe but distance from him. After knowing that I couldn't live without him in my life, I picked everything back up and moved back to Transylvania. Yes. Indeed. I had to be near the one that captured my heart. I would play hard to get but then he knew how to command me and make me mind.
Or could he?
That voice. It ran about my ears as a pleasant type of sound. My eyes flickered open and I turned to face her. It was Mina Harker. Or should I say Mina Murray. She had captured something inside of me that I had never felt before. Sure, I had had plenty of lovers in the past, three wives even, but Mina. Mina was someone special. She wasn't like any other woman I had come across before. It was an excellent feeling.
"No slap in the face or kick in the shins?" I stated, my accent getting more thick by the minute. Perhaps her mind had changed and she had come to stay with me for good. I knew she would never forget that horrid husband of hers. Well, he was horrid in my mind, btu he was long dead by now. The only true ally she could ever have was Van Helsing, whom I wished dead at this very moment. It was him or me. She had a choice to make and it seemed she picked the more elegant of the two so far.
"I've been on and off, as usual." zi was sure she had heard about all the times I'd been slain. Maybe two since I had made her into a vampiress. "And you Mina.." My voice gained a slight rumble to it. "Where did you go? You went out of reach.." Not from my mind, more from my grasp of reality here.
"I heard you went to back to London after I turned you. Lived there till people disappeared that you knew. I could be wrong. I then heard you took a trip to Italy. I do keep myself updated on these things my pet." I said. I knew she joined forces with certain somebodys. It had disgusted me, but I could not do a thing to contain her. I could, but I wouldn't allow myself.
I simply smiled and said, "No Vlad. I've gotten over my anger for you changing me. And I've had plenty of time to think about alot of things." I smiled at his accent. I always had loved it.
"Yes I went out of reach to think about things and think about my new found life that was given to me when I didn't want it. I've thought so much about alot of things. Like for one...you wouldn't stay off my mind no matter how hard I tried to think of other things. And I've began to love you more so than I did before and i want to be with you...that is, if it's not too late." I said to him.
I trembled as I moved a little closer to him wondering if he would bite my head off or simply welcome me into his arms and allow me to be the love of his life. I wondered if he still had those stupid brides of his living with him...if so I wouldn't go with him. I couldn't. I wanted him to myself...Not to share with any other female. "Do you still have your three stupid brides? If so then don't expect me to come back to you until you get rid of them. I don't like them and they are too damned spoiled. I want you and you alone...not three other females." I demanded in a soft tone.
"Indeed you are right. I did go to London and to Paris. It was how I had to think things over. I couldn't be around you and now I am sure of my decision but only those three brides keep me from you." I said.
Loved me? That was impossible. I didn't think Mina could ever change her mind about her last husband. This was too unreal. Then again, wasn't the world becoming a little unreal from what everyone wished it would become? No vampires, simply mortals walking around, living their boring lives day to day? However, I wasn't sure if this was a trick or not. One could never be sure with females. Then again, I had made her, I knew when she'd be lying. Unless I was letting my mind slip a little bit.
As she stepped closer to me, I kept my stance, not bothering to embrace ro anything of the sort. I was not one for public embracing, even if we were in an alleyway. Most of my old vampiric kind hated it. The ones now or days would do it on the street if they had the chance. I wasn't taking those chances with anything. It made one vulnerable. The only place I ever allowed myself to be that way was in my master bedroom, no place else.
As words were exchanged about my brides, I hissed at her. I did have to draw a line somewhere. I hadn't torn her throat out yet for leaving the area, so I figured I was doing rather good for myself. 'My brides..." I trailed off. "will not be leaving my castle. They've been around longer than you've been alive, vampiric and mortal age. They are bound to me by the making of my blood and by the vampires we've created. They keep their place." I didn't do what I did with others with them all the time. They were there for several reasons, love making being one of the few and at the bottom of the list.
Fine if that's what he wanted then fine I won't be going with him. Turning rather quickly I moved away from him and over the entrance to the alley. "Fair thee well then, Vlad" I said to him. I walked out of the alley rather hurt that I had given up on everything I had loved and now so desperately wanted to love. But I couldn't live with three other women. The ones he used to reproduce for his offspring. I shuddered at the thought and then continued on. If he wanted to find me then so be it. He knew how. Screw him for all I cared. I continued on wishing he'd change his mind but that wouldn't happen. He loved them more than he even loved me.
"Mina.." I managed to blurt out, but she had already fled the alleyway. Some things were difficult with her and always had been. She would not get away this time though. I was determined to have her by my side. Perhaps, something could be worked out. If my brides were stricken from my castle, things would get worse than they already were and we couldn't have that. They would rebel. I was the only thing keeping them intact and safe from the mortals. I could kill them, but my mind might not allow me to do such a thing. Vampire I was, mudering my own kind I rarely did unless necessary.
I stepped out of the alleyway and followed her, my hand brushing her shoulder and I suddenly appeared in front of her. "Do not do this." I nearly muttered toward her.
"I can strike a deal with you." Deals were one of the things I did the best and most knew this. I always stuck to my word.
I thought for a long moment. So he wanted to strike a deal. Hmm. What kind of a deal could I strike with him. To kill his brides would be wonderful but I knew he loved those things more than anything. His little hoochies. I shuddered. Ahh I have it.... "The deal is...they are not to come around when I want time with you. They are to be off limits to your bedchambers if I'm to be staying with you. And when they are in my presence...I want to be seen with you as if I was your wife...nothing more nothing less. And...I don't want them messing with me nor draping themselves all over you while in my presence. I can be jealous too you know." I said to him. Hopefully he would take the deal if he wanted me by his side. I looked at him and said, "And I want control over decorating the place. It needs a little less dust and a little more life. Color. If you will." I said to him. Please oh please let this work. I hoped that he would let this deal happen. I would allow for them to stay there with us but they would have to treat me as if I were his wife...and they had to remain out of the bedchambers. If he couldn't comply to this deal then I would simply walk around him and continue on as if nothing had ever happened. Yes. That would be best. I could always go hide from him again. Since I could tell that he hated when I did leave out of his life for good. No man can stand to be ignored for any period of time. Not even Vlad. I tapped my foot wondering what he would say showing that I was growing weary.
