This story's gonna go crazy soon so be prepared :D Btw, I've been having trouble with wattpad... I write a story and suddenly it deletes it ;( so if you notice something crazy in the text... sorry
You couldn't sleep very well because of what happened tonight with Michael. He kissed and pushed you on the bed, engaging himself in a make out session with you, making you believe this was going to escalate into something even more – sex. On the contrary, he stormed out of your room, saying something about your blood.
However, you got up from bed, took a shower and headed to the kitchen to make yourself a breakfast. You opened the bedroom door to find angry-looking Gilbert in front of it. What the... you thought he gave up this bad habit of his!
You looked him in the eyes to see they were filled with rage and dissatisfaction, and then he did the usual stuff, which was growling at you like a dog. You even thought he was going to attack you! Thank God he didn't. All he did was turn around and just leave without saying a word. You ignored him and headed downstairs to make breakfast, hoping you'd find Michael there too since you wanted to talk to him about what had happened, asked him why stormed out.
You entered the kitchen to see he wasn't there. After having breakfast, you decided to go look for him, starting with his room but he wasn't in there. You searched the entire house, even begun worrying! Then a terrible thought occurred in your mind... could he have left? This made your heart hurt. You were really falling in love with him... but this love, was it possible? Love between a human and a vampire? Could someone as perfect as him fall in love with you?
You returned in your room and to your surprise, first thing you saw when you opened the door was Michael.
He was sitting on the bed and the thick curtains were closed.
"Michael.."
"I came to tell you something..." oh God, please don't let him say he's leaving!
"Yes?" you walked closer to him.
"We need to leave tomorrow. The moon will be full in 2 days and we'll have difficulties because of Gilbert."
"I understand." phew! He wasn't leaving you alone here.
"I know you might want to stay longer but we can't. I suggest you inform your father and spend the whole day with him." You nodded in agreement "Now go." Was this all? And what about last night? You wanted to ask him but were so embarrassed... Your courage disappeared once you saw him. You turned around and headed for the door when he said "And one more thing.."
"Yes?" he was going to talk about it!! Yes!
"Stay away from your step mother.. please."
"Okay.." you said and closed the door behind you, leaving him in your room.
So much for talking about last night. Maybe it wasn't a good idea to ask him because he obviously didn't want to talk about it but why?
You went to your father's room and knocked.
"Come in!" you heard his voice and opened the door "Princess! Come baby!"
"Dad, I wanna tell you something." You begun.
"Yes?"
"We have to leave tomorrow because Michael has unfinished business in the city and can't stay here any longer."
"Oh no... so soon?"
"I'm sorry dad..."
"It's okay but I wanna ask you something too.. do you like it in his house? Do you like being there?"
"Yes I do, dad."
"You can stay here if you want to... I know your step-mom said it was going to be to your benefit if you spent the summer with him but if you don't feel alright there and miss your home, you can just... stay here."
"Thanks dad but I actually like it in LA very much."
"Really?"
"Yes and I want to spend my time there."
"I hope it's only LA that you like and not Mr. Dracula..."
"Dad!" you felt uncomfortable.
"Just sayin'! Because he does look attractive... And I want to make my self clear... I don't want my 17-year-old daughter having an affair with a 33-year-old man."
"Dad it's not like this at all..." if he only knew what you did last night and that it was too late for his warnings. You were already in love with him.
"Okay, that's all I wanted to hear. So, if you're leaving tomorrow, how about we spend some time together? I'll take you shopping, we'll eat, we'll have fun like in the old days?"
"Yes, dad!"
"Okay, I'll get ready. Wait for me in the living room."
7pm
You spent the whole day with your dad. You went shopping at the mall, then to a restaurant, even played tennis, and many other things which made you thirsty and a little tired (except for shopping. This never made you tired.)
After returning home, you went straight to the kitchen, opened the fridge to find an empty carton of juice. Great.
"Dad!"
"Yes?"
"I'm gonna go buy some juice before they close the shop!"
"Okay girl and come straight back home!" you rolled your eyes. You wondered if he'd ever stop treating you like a kid? Guess no.
You put your jacket on and headed out for the shop to quench your thirst.
Michael's POV
I was laying in YN's bed with my head resting on my palms and enjoying the smell of her body, thinking about what I did last night.
Only God knew how much I wanted to take this further but the smell of her blood hit my senses so hard that if I had stayed a little longer, she'd probably be dead now.
Knock Knock
"Come in Gilbert." He opened the door and went in.
"Count.." I just knew what he was going to say.
"Don't tell me you want to talk about the girl because I don't want to talk about her."
"You're going to have to. Since the count has lost all his common sense, I'm the only one to remind him of the danger of being with a human girl."
"Don't you think that I don't know it, Gilbert?"
"I know you do but you're not acting like it. I heard what the father said to the human and I think this might be a great opportunity."
"For what?"
"To leave her here."
"No." I replied without hesitation. I heard them too and when she said she liked being with me... I felt happiness, joy... feelings I haven't felt in my whole life! I couldn't even describe them with words.
"Count, excuse me but you've become insane. This human girl has changed you completely."
"No, I'm the same."
"Should I remind you that our original plan was to kill her. Her blood was for you and the flesh – mine. Not only that you didn't stick to the plan but now I have this terrible feeling that my dear count might be forming human feelings such... l-ll... luuuu... llo la lo.."
"It's called love."
"Whatever. The main point is that it's causing you harm and whatever's causing harm to you, is my problem too."
"There's nothing harming me."
"If you say so, count. Besides, we both know there could be nothing between the two of you." I didn't reply "Why aren't saying anything, count? Oh I know why... you're thinking about the book right? You'd never violate it, this I'm sure. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll go to check on our bags, see if we forgot something." why did he have to remind me of the book? I knew about it very well, I knew the danger and the risks I was taking but she... Suddenly, I sensed something.
"Gilbert, wait!" I got up from bed because it smelled like a vampire. "Do you smell it?" he begun sniffing.
"I don't smell anything besides humans." i felt the smell was strongest near the window.
"Come here!" he walked over to the window and sniffed again.
"I think I do sense something count!" he sniffed again "Vampire.. but how?"
"We have to go out right now." We jumped through the window and I let my nose lead us.
The smell was getting stronger with each step. If I wasn't around humans, I'd be there by now but since we couldn't use our "powers" around them, we had to walk.
"It's familiar... I know this scent, it's Marion." I turned around and our eyes met.
"Hi, Dracula." He looked at Gilbert "Gilbert, I sense your dog smell from miles away. Please take a shower." He growled at him.
"What the hell are you doing here?" I shot.
"I was just passing by. The question is.. what are you, count, doing here? I don't remember you ever leaving the castle!"
"Me and Gilbert came to hunt. We heard people in this are tasted especially good. Anyhow, this is none of your business."
"Of course it's not."
I hated Marion so much that if I wasn't around people, he'd probably be dead now.
"Long time no see, Dracula." he begun. "Few thousands of years."
"That's right. Last time we met you betrayed me."
YN's POV
I bought an apple juice and got out of the store, headed home. I decided to go through the park since I needed the fresh air that was coming from the trees and grass.
I couldn't get my mind off Michael. I so badly wanted to talk to him about last night but at the same time was so scared to do so. What was going to happen now with him and me? Was there even me and him? Could someone as perfect as him love me?
Suddenly I felt something strange in the air. It got heavy. A feeling of disturbance and uneasiness made me look around when a tall, slim man with white hair and an evil grin on his face, got my attention. I've seen him before!
Adamus.
My heart turned into a drum and fear paralyzed my body. What was he doing here? Michael and Gilbert weren't here this time to protect me from his obtrusion. He walked over to me.
"Hello, my love." his warm, soothing voice sounded like pure music, however, it didn't suit his evil face.
