 A night with Dracula.



 Chapter Twenty Six.



Creepy Crawly Things.



 Sonee's P.o.v.

 


 Such beautiful melody flow's into my body as I watch him play devotedly to the piano,
I can feel each note as if it's a caress from a loved one, 
Gently touching my soul as if it was the most precious thing in his life.
 
 I tried to look at who was playing the piano, but his face was masked by shadow's, making it impossible to see whoever was playing.
"Darling" He whispered, in a tone so loving it made cupid's heart stop.
"My love.." He whispered once again, his tone curious and gentle.
"Sonee?" He said a tad louder, and I fazed out of my trance.
"Yes?" I quietly answered.
"You must awaken now..." He whispered, 
He was so tense, I knew he was just dying to turn and look at me, touch me, kiss me like it was our last.
"When will I see you again?" I whispered.
"Soon my love, but now is the time for us to depart" He answered, his finger's brushing over the key's as if he was playing.
"No... I can't leave you.." I pleaded.
"Close your eye's.." He whispered.
"Why?" I said, clutching my white dress.
"Trust me" He whispered, and I felt my eye's fluttered close against my will.
"Look for me in the shadow's, even if you cannot see, you can hear my heart poudning heavily, and that shall be your guide to find me." He told me in light passionate whispered,
and his lip's met mine when everything went dark, telling me that all the candle's lighting the room were now blown out, but there had been no source of wind, or disturbances.



My eye's cracked open to see a completely dark room, the only source of light was from a almost burnt out candle, which lit the room enough for me to see Drake in a arm chair fast asleep, and laying on the small sette was a snoring Johnny.
Everything was so still and quiet,
it was rather peaceful,
but now I was wide awake.

 I slowly arose from the bed ever so quietly,
not making a single noise,
I slowly tip-toed to the closed door.


  Making it safely into the dim candle lit hallway's, I decided to explore some.


 I've probably peaked into at least a hundred room's by now! Every room seemed to be a study or a guest room,
It was probably hopeless looking around.
"Your majesty?" A meek voice said, and I turned around quickly to see a scullery maid,
She only looked to be fifteen!
"Oh yes?" I asked, a little shock in my voice.
"I'm sorry if I was intruding but... I couldn't help but notice that you looked a little lost,
May I help you find something?" She said, keeping her head down.
"Oh well, I was wondering around really, Drake's never shown me around before..." I trailed off.
"Yes your majesty! the castle is very beautiful I would be delighted to be your guide! But I wouldn't want to waste your time, so how about I tell you of some place's and you can tell me where you would wish to go!" She said, blushing for her high pitch.
"That sound's fine.." I said unsurely.
"Well, There is the kitchen, the game room's, the pool room's, The dungeon.." She listed,
But I cut her off at a certain area, "Dungeon?" 
"Yes your majesty, It is where they keep prisoner's, the one's that are far too dangerous,
or are waiting to be shipped else where,
There are three dungeon's total,
One here,
One at the Vitalli's,
and one at the Carnation castle." She explained.
"Take me to our dungeon" I ordered.
"Yes, of course!" She said, bowing.
She started leading me down endless hallway's, 
We both were completely quiet.
"If you don't mind me asking... but what's your name?" I asked.
"Anica" She quickly replied.
"Ooh, what a lovely name" I complimented.
"Thank you your majesty, Feel free to ask me anything!" She replied.
"Are you a vampire?" I hesitantly asked.
"Yes your majesty" She answered.
"Oh... how old were you when..." I started,
"My whole fifteen year's of a life" She quickly answered.
"How long have you been a..." I started but was quickly cut off, "A slave your majest?" She offered.
"Yes, I suppose if that is what you are.." I said, praying it wasn't true.
"I am afraid to say yes, but it is true, I have been raised as a slave, and always will be." She answered, sadness pooling in her eye's.
"Well then, I'm going to be queen now, and I will assure you that no girl's nor boy's shall be servant's under eighteen" I said anger burning in my eye's.
"No offence your majesty but, I don't really believe that will happen.." She noted, pity in her eye's.
"I assure you it will!" I said, ending our conversation.




 Gardener's and other servant's attending to animal's, such as horses and tiger's?
were watching us with awe in there eye's.
"Anica" I whispered, catching up to match her step's.
"Yes your majesty?" She whispered back.
"Why are they staring?" I questioned, and they must've heard me, and snapped back to there work.
"Usually the master's and guest ignore us, or look at us with disgust and pity" She said, as if it meant nothing to her, which it cleary did!
"That's terrible! it's already terrible that your prisoner's, but they could at least treat you kindly.." I said angrily, getting riled up.
"That is a wish to us all your majesty" She answered, stopping at a huge metal door covered in spike's and wire's.
"Your majesty, may i?" She asked, motioning to my hand.
"Uh sure? why?" I questioned, curiousity burning in my eye's.
"Only royal blood can open the door's, your majesty"  She answered,  pressing my hand to the door.
 "O-oh does that mean..?" I couldn't even finish that sentence but thankfully she got it.
"No your majesty I do not need you to shed any blood to get in" She said, smiling brightly.
"Repeat me please, 'Aşa cum am regină, pentru a vă deschide şi deschisă doar pentru mine' In Romanian it mean's 'As queen i order you to open and only open to me'" She said,
and I quickly repeated what she said.

 I stumbled back as the door creaked, and slammed into wall's.
"Quickly now" Anica ordered, rushing into the torch lit dirt hall's, me quickly catching up,
and I just made it in as the door's slammed.
"May I ask you of something?" Anica offered.
"Sure, fire away!" I cheered.
"Are you looking for a certain prisoner?" She asked, stopping at another large door with a caged window.
"I would be lying if I said no..." I answered, looking down at my shoe's.
"Ooh I see" She said, her tone was a little off though.
 


 I watched Anica knock on many of the dusty brick's before one fell through, She stuck her hand in and let out a sigh of relief when nothing happened.
Her hand pulled out of the brick shape hole, and in her hand a handful of heavy looking key's.
"Anica... I wish to go alone from here on out" I pointed out, 
and her face fell full of worry.
"Are you sure your majesty? it's mighty dangerous in there" She replied, her voice shaking slightly.
"I'm sure, thank you, Can you please wait out here?" I asked, smiling.
"Of course your majesty" She answered, unlocking the wooden door.
"Here are the key's for some of the cell's" She said, handing me the heavy ring of key's.
"Thank you" I smiled, and went through the door and it shut behind me with a gust of wind.



 I shivered as I walked past a cell with a still rotting skeleton.
"There once was a little girl with diamond's in her eye's, But those eye's turned to coal when she spotted a Dryland butterfly..
A boy walked up to a butterfly, a sailor from the sea,
He saw the butterfly's burgundy wing's, and he was flying free.
The next day he saw the butterfly a beautiful burgundy,
It led him to the sea, the beautiful butterfly had turned into something nobody had seen.
A butterfly so beautiful turn's into a woman wearing a dress of burgundy." A beautiful male voice sang, 
As I followed it, it got louder and louder with each step.
I finally got to the end of a hall with chain's on the wall's, holding a few sleeping vampire's,
but one  was wide awake singing, and he slowly lifted his head,
I gasped as I met burgundy eye's, with a golden ring in the center.
Ashton.
"Back to the girl and her butterfly,
 A beautiful sight to see,     
The butterfly layed a kiss, only for their eye's to see." Ashton continued to sing,
And I slowly sat on my knee's.
"Her eye's fluttered close, and as he lay on her nose,
He whispered 'It's time for your surprise so open your eye's' and to her surprise a man of golden hair and burgundy eye's was leaning in to kiss her" He sang, and I found myself crawling closer to him, like a predator stalking it's prey.
"He watched her scream and runaway, but he knew she would be back someday" Ashton sang,  watching me ever so carefully.
"Dryland butterfly's are so different you see, they hunt like predator's, as they are as hungry as can be." His lip's leaned down to meet mine as he whispered the last of the song.
"No!" I whispered, trying desperately to pull away.
"You are one of us" Ashton whispered, and I felt something crawling under my skin.
"Let me take away your pain.." He whispered again, and his lip's captured mine once again.
I wound my finger's in his hair, pulling him closer, only to realize it was impossible when I heard the sound of chain's clinking.
'No.. not again...' I whispered in my head, and let him in past my lip's.
"No.." I growled, pushing myself away from him,
I crawled back a few step's.
"Sonee... unchain me... look at me.." He whispered, almost sang.
"No! now I came here for a reason!" I yelled, and looked at him firmly in the eye's,
and to both of our shock, nothing was happening to me.
"Look's like you are one of us" He chuckled, leaning back against the dirty wall.
"That's not why i'm here" I said angrily.
"Oh is that so?" He challenged.
"Yes! why did he send you to find me" I retorted.
"Who my love?" He smiled.
"The murderer" I answered, and his slight tan skin paled. 
"I don't know what you're talking about" He refused.
"Why did he send you to find me when he already knew where I was?!" I questioned.
"And who did you think 'He' is?" Ashton questioned back.
"I don't know... but you are going to tell me!" I demanded.
'I'm afraid now is not the time' A chilling voice said in my mind,
and I shivered.
"He's coming" Ashton tensed.
"Who?" I questioned, rising to my feet.
'The murderer' The voice mimicked.
"Go.. hurry!" Ashton yelled,
I quickly ran into the hall, but stayed behind the corner, peaking at Ashton.
"Don't you know it's rude to spy" The voice whispered, crashing me up against the wall.
"Don't you know it's rude to murder people" I taunted, struggling against his grip.
"Now is not the time to argue" He said, anger hidden in his voice.
"Don't struggle now" He whispered, and I felt him reaching for the chained handcuff's on the wall above me,
I started struggling even more, trying to kick everywhere.
"Do as your told!" He boomed, and I froze slightly, 
and apparently that's long enough for him to handcuff my hand's.
