The Awaking of Lord Dracula

Jared looked at Jacklan as she continued to joke, but his face remained serious. She had just gotten shot because of him, he wasn't in much of a joking mood. When she started to sit up, he placed his hand on her shoulder, "Woah, woah, woah. You're going to hurt yourself...Lie back down..."

He ran a hand through his hair and looked around his room, "I.. uh.. I can carry you to your room if you want to give me your key to run and unlock it..."

He didn't like it. She didn't heal like he did, for her, the healing would take time and she'd be in pain for a lot of it. All because he hadn't paid enough attention and she had to step in. He kind of felt like this was his fault. If he had been handling himself, everyone would have been gone before she even got there. He sighed and looked at her, "Sorry..."

Skye let out a small sigh of relief, she was a bit of a klutz and she didn't want to die because she fell and scrapped her knee. She sat down next to him and looked at him and then the painting. She squinted her eyes as she looked at it, "So... obviously, you aren't nineteen.... How old are you really?"

The Awaking of Lord Dracula

I really hate being sick

The Making of a New Queen

Anastasia fiddled with her toast after he explained. Kala was his friend... Why was she sad about them having a good life together? Did Kala not like her? She glanced at Samsul, did Kala like him? She felt bad all the sudden, if it hadn't been for her... Maybe they would have married. She shook her head mentally, no, Samsul purposed to her and her saying no wouldn't have meant that he liked Kala... It would just mean that he wasn't married. It didn't matter though, she trusted Samsul. Whether or not Kala like him, besides if she was truly in love with him, she would want him to be happy. And he was happy with her. She bit into her toast, feeling far less guilty than she had been a moment ago, "Does she like you?" She asked, curious if Samsul even knew.

Jared jumped up when Jacklan coughed and spoke. He moved over to the bed and smiled at her, "Well, sorry. Not my fault that you locked your door."

He stuffed his hands into his pockets and sighed as he looked at her, "You know, when you tell me not to do stupid things... I just assume that you won't do them either," He walked over to his closet, forgetting he had still yet to put on a shirt. There were marks on his shoulders, back, and neck from where the silver bit into his skin, which caused him to wince slightly as he grabbed his shirt and pulled it on over the burns.

Once properly clothed, he made his way back to his bed and sat on the edge, "How are you feeling?"

Skye looked at him as he explained. So, she was here to be a reminder to the supernatural of the building that in comparison, being human sucked. Fun. When he started to walk out of the room he sighed, muttering about old habits. She wondered if it was something to do with the blood. She walked over to him, "Don't you drink the blood of humans.... Aren't I just pain for you... if you're trying not to? What happens if I accidentally cut myself?.... You're really Dracula?"

The Awaking of Lord Dracula

Jared rushed in the front door and was met by Alucard telling him to calm down and put Jacklan down. He curt nod before walking in to the couch and laying her down of Alucard to deal with, and sat on the couch opposite. He placed his hands on the back of his neck as he watch Dracula patch her up. When he asked him to, Jared got to his feet and walked over the couch. He gently lifted Jacklan off the ground and carried her to her room. He spotted Skye walking toward him and decided he'd leave Alucard to explain. He made his way to Jacklan's room and found it locked. He sighed and walked into his own room with her and placed her on his bed. He took a seat in the chair not to far way and watched her.

Skye watched as Alucard left. She sighed and looked up at the sky above her. She watched the stars for sometime before she turned back inside. She found that figuring out that she had been adopted by Dracula, gave her more questions than she had answers. She made her way back to the front door as she saw Jared leaving with Jacklan in his arms. She walked into the Lounge and looked at Alucard, "Is she going to be okay?"

She waited a moment and bit her lip. She had theories and she was scared of most of them as she looked at Alucard, "Why did you adopt me? I'm just a human..."

The Awaking of Lord Dracula

It's doing it again TT^TT

The Awaking of Lord Dracula

Jared smirked, "I won't," He then turned and ran out of the castle. As he ran, he wished it had been a full moon. Normally, he locked himself away in the basement, not wanting to hurt anyone, not coherent enough not to. However, if it had been a full moon, he might have been drawn to the people at the bottom of the hill... They would hardly be able to stop him. When he reached the camp, he jumped at the first man he saw. He shifted mid jump which caused an uproar in the camp. He ran around, shifting between human and wolf, taking down as many men as he could, knowing well that these people weren't just after to Dracula but after himself as well.

He heard the sound of the metal too late though. He had already made a sizeable hole in their ranks when they tossed the net over him. His fur instantly receded away and he was left a human and trapped. He tried to push against the net, allowing it to bite into his skin but the silver made him weaker than the men that held it down. He glared at them as they laughed. He noticed a glowing in the bush and laid against the ground as Jacklan attacked. He heard the gun shot and his head shot up as he noticed Jacklan stagger. The moment the men ran from the net, he raced out from under it. He ran over to Jacklan and cursed as he looked at the blood. She was the nurse, who was going to help her? Jared ripped off his shirt and pressed it against her wound before he lifted her off the ground. He knew that if anyone was going to help her, it was back at the castle. So, he ran.

Skye was surprised by Jacklan's reappearance in the art room. She thought everyone else had gone to bed. When she told her to go to Alucard, she nodded and grabbed one of her drawings. She stood was walked out of the room and went where she was supposed to. She walked out onto the balcony and saw him staring off into the distance, "Alucard?"

He turned and looked at her and immediately began to talk. Her eyes widened as she held out the picture of him, Dracula written at the bottom. She bit her lip, "I figured it out... not to long ago.... The painting... your family... the castle... the name... And Jacklan's insistence that I read the Dracula book and read between the lines..." She held his eyes, "Am I going back to the orphanage?"

The Making of a New Queen

Anastasia laughed a little when he gave her his decision, deciding on the dancing due to how long it had last. She reached up and looked at him pulling him into another kiss. After a long length of time, she pulled away and smiled at him, "Better?" She teased.

She ate a bit of her eggs and looked at him happily, "I liked waking up that morning with you... watching the sunset.... And funny enough going to bed with you that night...." She picked up her toast, "They didn't have much to do with our wedding but I just liked the thought that from now and for the rest of our lives, we'll be waking up and going to sleep together."

She gave him a kiss on his cheek and bit into her toast. After chewing, she looked up at him, "Kala was waiting outside last night... What did she say?"

The Awaking of Lord Dracula

I posted. The site is seeming to glitch on my end. Not notifying that I did.

The Awaking of Lord Dracula

Jared sighed when Lexio replied, he laughed a little, "I suppose..."

He then heard the knocking at his door and Jacklan yelling. He grabbed a pair of pants and a shirt that weren't burnt and opened the door, not yet dressed. He pulled on his pants as he started toward the front door, "Bring Skye to him," He said, looking over his shoulder at her. He reached the door and buttoned up his jeans, "He said that we had to be nice to her because of her past... The fact that she is here might stop him."

He pulled his shirt over his head, "Also wake up my boys. Tell them I was someone at every entrance to the castle grounds and someone looking over head in the tower," Adjusting his shirt, he grinned at her, "If anyone asks where I've gone. Tell 'em I'm hunting."
