Chapter forty-five: Evadare

The basement room was cold and dark, (y/n) did not know how long she was down there.
She was hungry though, she had not eaten since she was taken from her brothers.
At least there was a toilet room down there with her.
She sat in the corner of the room and shivered, she hated the dark.
(Y/n) started to feel sick and shook more, her head was spinning.
Something heavy fell onto her shoulders. It felt warm.
She pulled the heavy object over her and found it to be some sort of blanket.
It was thick and felt good, a pleasant smell came from it.
The red-violet eyed female smiled and closed her eyes as she felt the blanket keep her body warmth on her.

Something felt like fingers running through her hair made her open her eyes, the sensation stopped and she did not see a thing. It was too dark to see anyway.
She began to be afraid. Something was possibly in there with her.
The Scandinavian wished that she had some type of light to see in this darkness, something that would give her comfort.
She closed her eyes again and shook.
(Y/n) felt a warmth, soft lights lit up her eyelids.
Again she opened her eyes to find soft glowing orbs floating around the room, she took one into her hand and found it was like holding someone's hand. Slightly warm.
She looked at the item on her, a blanket that looked like it was a handstitched one with beautiful patterns on it.

A form across the room made her look up.
A man stood there. Tall, pale, solemn.
His red eyes faintly glowed, the cloak he wore covered his body completely and the collar showed the red inner color.
He looked somewhat like Hollywood interpretation of a vampire, yet he was alive.
"Alo.", the deep voice of the man cut the silence.
"H-hej.", (y/n) responded shyly and gripped the blanket.
Romanian, or a similar area based on his accent.
"Wh-who are you?", the female asked.
The man looked a little sad, "I am Dracul, do you not recognize me?"
The albino female shook her head.
He got closer and kneeled in front of the Scandinavian woman, she scooted back to the wall.
"You... don't remember?", The vampiric man asked.

He reached his hand out and stopped while looking at his own hand, "I'm sorry. I must be scaring you."
Dracul pulled his hand back and pulled a glove over the pale hand, "You seem to have lost your memories."
"I-I was in a c-coma for some time.", (y/n) said and felt him take her hand. He was cold to the touch, yet warmer than Egil's icy body temperature.
Large pale hands held hers, the nails on the end looked more like black claws.
"I did not know. I could have helped you I I knew.", The black haired man said, "I believe that our relationship is called a friendship?"
"How did you g-get in here?", the female asked.
"By the darkness. I am the opposite to you. The dark to the light.", the man replied, "I can take you away from here, take you to safety. Would you like that?"
(Y/n) nodded to the man and he got up, "I have to retrieve something that will allow you to come with me through the darkness safely. Please be patient as I find it."

Dracul disappeared into the shadows. The small glowing ball that (y/n) held shimmered and faded as she became weary.
She was drifting off into sleep as she felt a presence again.
A hand on her arm and the slipping of a smooth material over her arm.
The woman opened her eyes to see Dracul was sliding a pair of lovely gloves onto her, "It's okay, you're tired. I will take you somewhere safe for you to rest."
(Y/n) nodded and closed her eyes again while holding the warm blanket to her.
She was picked up and carried, a whooshing sound was made and she was placed on a soft surface.
"It's after dark, you should be getting some rest now.", the vampiric man said softly, "I will see you in the morning. Good night, (y/n)."
The albino heard the door and the man walk off, she felt like she was safe and fell asleep.

Luciano woke to a sunny morning, he stretched and chuckled to himself. He had all the time he could want to leisurely work and have something to eat before letting (y/n) out.
He got up and got dressed, picking a casual outfit to wear for the day.
The Italian man made his way down to the dining room to make breakfast.
His mood was high and could not be spoiled, not even by Lutz's stupidity.
He leisurely ate his breakfast and went to his office to work.
The whole morning passed without any problems.
The Italian stretched and looked at his clock, it was nearing lunch.

"I-a guess mia moglie is-a starving by now.", The Italian chuckled and got up, "Perhaps I should-a eat lunch with her? Or-a have her take a bath first and-a change before-a having lunch?"
Luciano chuckled as he walked to the basement cell were he left her as punishment, "Mia moglie~ Are you ready to behave now?"
He jingled the keys and unlocked the door, "Now should-a we bathe you or-a give you something to-a eat first?"
His magenta eyes scanned the room, "Moglie?"

The screams of rage brought his men down to the basement.
"Luciano! Vhat is wrong?!", Lutz asked as he held his side arms up to defend his boss.
"She is-a gone!", the Italian screamed and pointed into the cell, "(y/n) escaped somehow!"
"Is that it?", Kuro asked and put his Kitana away.
The Italian man was spilling curses from his lips as he paced the cell, spotting shimmery glowing dust in one area.
He kneeled and touched it, the powder stuck to his hand and disappeared along with papercuts he had.
"Magic.", the Italian said and looked at a smear on the wall, "More magic."
"So she vas rescued?", Lutz asked and got a slap to the head.
"Find her!", the angered Italian yelled at his subordinates.

(Y/n) woke in the soft bed she was placed in the previous night by Dracul, she got up and walked around with the blanket she received the night before around her shoulders. It was a large cold house.
The sound of her bare feet on the floor echoed.
It was a lovely home but cold and empty, sad and lonely.
She stood out in contrast to the dark decor with her light hair and energy.
The silvery-white haired female felt someone following her and turned around to see Dracul standing right behind her.
"You are up early.", the man said and held out his hand, "Come."

After putting her trust in him this far, (y/n) placed her hand into his.
He gently held it and led her to his kitchen, "You can fix whatever you want to eat, unless you want me to make something."
"I-I'll make breakfast!", the albino female said, "To thank you for helping me."
"This is my dinner. I will be going to sleep after this.", the jet black haired man said, "I am nocturnal."
"Oh, okay. I'll try to make something special then!", (y/n) replied with a smile.
Dracul kept his solemn look before breaking into a smile, "You are, how do they say? Adorable?"
(Y/n) was kind of surprised to see such a handsome and kind smile from a man like this, one who seemed synonymous with the darkness itself.

The red-violet eyed female nodded and got to work cooking a good meal for the two of them, Dracul watched all the while.
She finished cooking and gave the man one plate, she sat across from him and smiled.
"This looks delicious.", the Romanian said and ate a bite before smiling again, "It is delicious."
(Y/n) giggled a little, "Takk."
"Now eat.", the man said and ate his meal.
Both ate until their plates were empty, Dracul helped her to wash and put away the dishes.
"It was good to see you again, (y/n). Even if you did not remember me.", the vampiric man said and held his hand to her, "But I have one last place I need to take you before I go to sleep."

(Y/n) took his hand and nodded to show she trusted him.
He  nodded and they were in another place, a place just as beautiful as the last but with a more lively and light feel to it.
The decor was rich and luxurious but the building felt empty and lonely.
"It is so beautiful here!", the Scandinavian woman said with a smile on her face.
Dracul nodded, "I will have to leave you here with the owner of this mansion in order to protect you, he is a kind man."
"How do you know him?", (y/n) asked as Dracul and she walked through the massive house.
"I know him because he is an immortal like I.", Dracul replied, "But he is not supernatural like I, he is more human in a sense."

Dracul walked through the house and stopped at a double door, the splendid doors were a pair of stained oak doors.
"This is his office, I do not know if he is up at this time.", the Romanian said as (y/n) hid in his cloak and under his arm for a sense of security.
The tapping of footsteps caught the pale man's attention as he turned his head to look, "Ah, there you are. I was looking for you."
"Looking for me?", A kind sounding voice asked, "May I ask why?"
"So I could personally let her be put under your protection, Luxembourg.", Dracul replied.
The kind sounding voice spoke after the sound of footsteps approached more and the sound of the doors opening.

"Her?", the one called Luxembourg asked.
Dracul pulled his cloak off of (y/n) to show her to the other man and for her to see this new person.
A handsome man with brunet hair and green-blue eyes, he was dressed quite elegantly.
He seemed to be surprised and relieved to see (y/n), he stood from his desk and came closer to her.
"(Y/n), Is that you?", the man asked.
"Dracul...", the albino whined and hugged the Romanian man's arm.
"It is okay, (y/n). You don't have to worry, he is another friend of yours.", the Romanian spoke calmly, "Please, I have to go back home to sleep."
(Y/n) looked up at the Romanian's face and let go of him.
"Be safe, zeița lunii.", Dracul said with a small bow and disappeared with a puff of black smoke.

Luxembourg turned his attention back to the albino woman who was still looking at where Dracul was.
"(Y/n).", the Luxembourgish man said and the female turned to him, "Do you feel safe here? Or would you like to go somewhere else?"
"W-we can stay here.", (y/n) said and looked away with a small blush on her face.
Somehow this man made her feel more warm than Thurston did, something made her want to cuddle up to this man more than she wanted to cuddle Thurston.
Sure Thurston made her feel safe, but this man made her feel love.
The brunet man turned to walk back to his desk when he felt a pair of warm arms around him, he looked at the female.
"I'm sorry.", the female apologized, "You seem so kind and warm."
The brunet man smiled and embraced her back, "you are very sweet and warm as well mäi léift."

(Y/n) snuggled to the man happily, she felt euphoric.
"Would you like to go take a bath and change into a new outfit?", the man asked.
The female nodded and smiled.
Luxembourg showed her to the bath and let her pick out the dress she wanted to wear afterwards.
She walked to the bath but was stopped by Luxembourg, the man looked a bit uncomfortable.
"I hope this does not sound weird mäi léift. But I love you.", The man said, "I loved every minute we had on those dates, and I see that I love you."
"But I am already betrothed.", (y/n) said with her head down.
"(Y/n). You don't have to be forced to marry someone you don't want to marry.", Luxembourg said.
"Someone I don't want to marry?", (y/n) asked and felt a headache.
She began to see parts of her past, her dates with Luxembourg.

"Luxembourg? I-I think I love you too.", (y/n) said and saw the smile on the brunet man's face grow softly.
"I love you so much (y/n).", Luxembourg said and kissed the female.
The two held each other and kissed in the hallway, enjoying each other.
