The Awaking of Lord Dracula

Skye adjusted her bag on her shoulder and waved to Annette as she left the orphanage once more. She looked at the dog when they arrived at the car. He was barking and didn't look to happy about the fact Skye was there. She climbed in when Alucard opened the door. She looked out the window as they drove along to her new home. When he asked her to tell him about herself she sighed, "There isn't much to know... I'm a sixteen year old girl whose lived with... probably around fifty different families...." She pulled her legs up onto her seat and glanced at him, "Aren't you a little young to be adopting a kid?"

She looked out the front window to see a castle coming to view ahead of them. Her eyes widened, "You live here?"

As if to answer her question, a woman ran over to the gate and addressed Alucard as sir. She sat there a little dumbfounded as he drove the car forward before they climbed out. She followed him into the castle and down a hallway. He opened a door and told her the room within would become her own. She poked her head in before she entered. The room was giant! Especially in comparison to the room she had been living in. Her old room could barely hold her bed... This one had a bed, a couch, a bookcase and she still felt like there was room to whatever it was that she wanted. She threw her bag onto the couch and flopped onto the bed, "Are you sure this is my room?"

Jared laughed when Jacklan came and hit him in the face with a pillow. It hardly did anything but he made a show of it, falling to the ground. When he saw Alucard come in through the gate, he waved and stood. He looked at Jacklan when she came over to him and told him to gather his guards. He nodded and threw his head back, howling. He walked to the front door and moments after, the guards arrived there. None of them were werewolves like himself but they knew to come when he called. He walked into the foyer with them and crossed his arms, waiting.

The Awaking of Lord Dracula

Skye looked at him a bit surprised when he said they would be living in a castle, "Well... that will be different..."

Annette looked at her, "Go grab your things."

She sighed and walked down the long hall to her small bedroom. She was the only one in the entire place with a room to herself. She had grown up in that room, it was strange thinking she would be leaving it. She couldn't help but feel the dreaded feeling of hope that maybe this was the time she really said good bye to this room.

She packed up her few clothes and pulled her duffel bag over her shoulder. She quietly closed the door behind her before she walked back to the front.

Jared looked over at Jacklan as she sat down. He threw a pillow at her and grinned, "Get off your lazy ass."

Chuckling, he sprinted out the door, not wanting to find out how she might get back at him. He slowed down as he reached the gates to the castle. He decided to do another perimeter check and started to walk around the castle yet again.

The Awaking of Lord Dracula

Skye looked at him, a little surprised that he wanted to put money of it and so much of it as well. When he walked over to Annette and told her, the woman started on the paperwork, while Skye jumped to her feet, "Hey.... I don't have that kind of money. Not that I'm saying you're gonna keep me but I don't need to be out four hundred bucks if you decide to get rid of me in twenty nine days."

Annette shook her head and handed the man the papers, "Sign at the bottom, as well as fill in your address and name and phone number. We'll have someone checking up on Skye during the first few months she is under your care. Once that is done, the adoption will be finalized in court, may I see a piece of ID with your birthdate?"

Jared looked at Jacklan when she told him to get off his ass, "Fine..." He said as he stood and started to walk out of the room, "Not my fault if I tear stitches."

He wandered the place, going about his normal guard duties as well as the odd chore that was asked of him. It was simple enough, although, he was curious as to how Alucard was doing...

When I Lost You (Magic223 and Tsubasa)

Tony looked at Clint, who had still yet to answer his question, "Nevermind," He said. He wasn't going to let him in any of his suits if he was going to be panicking like that. Once he was fully suited, he looked at Steve, "Watch him," He toyed with the inside of his helmet as he walked toward the door. As he opened it, he put on his helmet, "Excuse me, I have damsel in distress to save."

On the other side of the door, he fly up his stairs and onto the balcony. Natasha was holding a necklace tightly in her hand as she stood there trying to catch her breath. The Asgardain laughed, "You know. Loki doesn't want me to kill you. So I suggest you stop fighting and maybe you can live a little longer."

Natasha growled, she knew exactly why Loki didn't want this woman to kill her, "I have no interest in dying by someone else's hand."

Tony suddenly flew out of the building. He grabbed the necklace from Natasha and pushed her back inside and out of the way. Sure, she was only behind glass but, she was safer there. He twirled the necklace in his hands, "Time to shut you up."

He saw the woman say something but didn't hear it. It seemed like his plan worked. He flew at her and tackled her to the ground before quickly attaching the Asgardain necklace that had apparently kept her silent all these years. When she saw that she was taken down, Natasha, with the last bit of adrenalin coursing through her body ran downstairs. She easily unlocked Tony's workshop and collapsed against Clint.

The Awaking of Lord Dracula

Skye continued to look out the window before sighing, "In the last five years alone... I've been with over 20 foster families," she crossed her arms, "Sooner or later they all figure out they want a kid they can mold."

She watched as a car drove by, no one in the car looking up at the orphanage, "It gets hard to be around people when you realize, no one wants you..."

She finally turned a looked at him, and leaned forward and whispered to him, "You think you want me now but give it a week and I'd be right back here.... I'm just saving us the trouble."

Jared scrunched his lips together when she said she was about to tell him to go with him. Every once in a while Jared went along with Alucard but the man was capable of handling himself, especially with some child. Besides, he always had a way of scaring kids without doing anything when they came on tour... It was like they sensed his more... animalistic side. He nodded, "Seems so."

He walked into the room and sat down, he pulled up his sleeve, revealing some stitches on his arm from an attack not to long ago. He wasn't the best at tending to them or being wary of them, so he made it a point of have Jacklan check them out when he could.

The Making of a New Queen

Anastasia closed her eyes as he kissed the top of her head and smiled softly, "I like being you wife... Although, this headache is a horrible way to start it..."

She kept sipping her tea and before she finished her glass, it was gone. She reached forward and grabbed her fork. It looked like the kitchen had used some of Bon's eggs as a good portion of the plate was scrambled eggs. She scooped some onto her fork and began to eat her breakfast. She looked at Samsul as she still leaned against him slightly. She kissed his cheek, "What was your favourite part about yesterday?"

The Making of a New Queen

Anastasia nodded slowly as Samsul suggested to stay in bed a little while longer. She rested against him and sighed, "Someone brought food in this morning... The tray are on the table in you're hungry."

She closed her eyes, trying to convince herself that her head didn't hurt as much as it did. Millie poked her head in the door and smiled at the two of them, "I was thinking the two of you may have been suffering from last night... Thought I'd come help."

She walked over to their trays and transferred the food onto what looked like a mini table. She walked over to them and place it down over their legs, "Breakfast in bed," she walked back to the table and retrieved a teapot and two cups. Placing them on the tray, she filled them, "And some special herb tea for any pains you have from last night... I'll come back later to help with getting out of bed."

She smiled at the two of them and left. Anastasia lifted the teacup and took a small sip, it wasn't a wonderful taste, but if it was going to get rid of her head ache. She leaned against Samsul as she kept drinking, "You are... officially my husband."

The Making of a New Queen

Anastasia lay his coat on the couch before she walked back over to the bed. She slipped under the covers and curled up close to her husband. From the extreme fatigue she was feeling from the long day, it didn't take her long to fall asleep after she whispered, "Good night, dear husband."
~
Anastasia woke the next morning to a pounding head. She groaned slightly and rose a hand to her head. She spotted two trays of what she assumed to be food sitting on a table before she rolled over to face Samsul. She was only slightly hungry and from the feeling in her head, she really didn't wish to get up. She guessed it was from the amount that she drank the previous day. She didn't drink before she became a Princess and she only drank a little when she did. It seemed like yesterday, everyone was putting a drink in her hand and cheering for their marriage. She sighed and whispered to Samsul, "My head hurts..."

The Making of a New Queen

The dress was easier to take off than it was to put on. They didn't have to worry the same about the delicate lace sleeves and the buttons didn't have to be undone fully. Soon enough, she was out of her dress and Millie grabbed her night gown. They slipped it over her head before Millie took the dress and hung it in the closet. Anastasia looked around and noticed that Samsul had yet to come in. She walked over to the door and opened it to see him standing in the hall, looking a little lost. Anastasia walked over to him and smiled, "Let's go to bed," she said soft as she kissed him before removing the coat to his suit. She turned and walked into the bedroom, "Unless... you plan to sleep in the hall on our wedding night..."

The Making of a New Queen

Anastasia walked tired to their bedroom with Samsul. She had her arm wrapped around one of his and her head resting on her shoulder. She felt as though she might just go and collapse on the bed, if it weren't for the large dress she was in and Millie following behind to help her out of it. The party had been long, Samsul and herself spending much of it dancing and when they weren't dancing, they were conversing with other Royals or their parents. Of course, the amount of wine that was drunk probably didn't help either. When they reached the bedroom, Millie spotted Kala, who seemed to be waiting, and took Anastasia into the room and started to help undress her. She looked over her shoulder when she noticed Samsul did not follow.
