Chapter 5
Chapter five:
“ I am perfectly fine…” He looks out the window. ”You must forgive me,Katherine…but I….am need of my rest for the day I will come see you this evening.” Upon finishing he takes a slight bow and makes his way out of the dinning hall.
Kate smiles and watches him and wonders in what ways could he be a monster when all he has been to her is kind. “ He has taking an infactuation with you.” Kate looks over…it is the red headed bride, who took a seat beside Kate. She scooted closer to Kate and smiled wickedly.” Don’t fear me Katherine Locust….I can see her in your eyes now.”
“ Her?” Kate asks.
“ Rheanna . Your eyes….your face….even that one freckle barely below your lower lip… ” She trailed off and giggled.” Out of all the mortal women he has slept with….she was our favorite.We began to grow fond of her visits. Dracula loved her you know.”
“ So he does have a heart.” Kate mused.
The bride nodded.” He has a heart, but it means to beat for only love. You can tell when he loves truly…when his heart beats .” She paused and looked at the glass of water and took it between her fingertips and made it turn to blood,” Pity….that his heart has not twitched within him for his brides. Only for Rheanna. “
She sipped the blood and looked at Kate who had an unsure look upon her face.” If you should be so lucky he will love you as he loved Rheanna.” With that she chuckled and left Kate with her own thoughts.

Throughout the remainder of the day Kate just roamed the castle and eventually found the library, it was dark and dusty, several cobwebs sat in a lot of the corners. So Kate took the liberty of dusting a bit. By the time she had finished that she wondered into the brandy room.
She smiled and approached the window and closed it as it was open and rain was pouring outside in the darkness. Had she been cleaning the library that long? It certainly tired her out. So she started a fire and sat down in front of it.” Windows remain open here normally. So my brides can fly in once they have finished with their hunt.”
Kate heard his voice behind her. The young woman looked behind here. In the doorway stood Dracula, dressed in his same outfit, Kate guessed vampires never really had to worry about changing their cloths.
“ I’m sorry. I will remember that from here until the time you wish me to leave.” Kate responds.
Dracula smiles at her and approaches, closing the door behind him in one arm he held a blanket which he wrapped around her and opened the window before sitting on the floor beside her. For a moment the two were silent then Kate clears her throat,” So do you always look that tired?” She asked.
The vampire looked over at her and in the face and eyes.” I sleep mostly during the daytime. But for some reason today I was sleepless. “ He explained.
Kate nodded and looked back at the fireplace. Again more damned silence. Which for a while began to annoy Dracula so he stood,” I’m going to poke at the fire and get some tea and biscotti for you.” Upon finishing he took the poker that hung beside the grand fireplace and poked it through the flames slightly.
After setting the poker back he turned on his heal and went over to a table which had a warm tea kettle, and tea bags beside it. On the left side of the kettle sat a jar of biscotti. By the time he got the little treats to Kate, she was already curled upon the floor and half asleep.
Dracula for a moment said and did nothing, her sleeping face reminded him of the same sleeping face of another from his past. He set down the tea and the biscotti and gently took Kate in his arms, feeling her stir gently at first.
“Aleera told me that you were her master.” He heard Kate mutter.” I thought she and the other two were your wives.”
When he glanced down, Kate half open eyes blinked and stared only at his slender pale hand. Dracula nodded “ I call them my brides because they are mine. A powerful vampire noble takes as many brides as he chooses…. But only one may be his true wife the rest are more like servants simple because they have been bitten and turned by me. “ He explained as his fingertips gently stroked the skin upon her nearly bare shoulders. He heard her sigh in delight.
“ Count Dracula….you don’t have to hold me just because I am in need of another’s affection.” Kate whispered, her body feeling too weak and tired to move half of her was nearly asleep
Dracula smiled lightly and gently kissed the top of her head responding.” It has been a long time since I have held a warm body in my arms Kate. I want to do this, and I want to protect you from your husband should he find you.”
Upon finishing all he heard was her light breathing and knew she’d been carried away into sleep. He closed his eyes and followed her into that sleep. He would now be able to stay awake for at least 72 hours after this night. Though he was not in the habit of sleeping during the night he was willing to make an exception to be relaxed and spend the day with Kate in the morning.
