The next day, I find myself waking up in the bedroom I fell asleep in. I feel someone rubbing my back. I look up and come face to face with Count Dracula. Then, I remember the night before. I moan.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmfQ7iNyX6
"Ah, someone's awake, I see." He smiles.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SVcTDljX6
"Am I still—"431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wJONlShFw
"Yes, you are. I am too." He sighs. "I'm not worried about it."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFrpD9DgdW
I try getting up and fall back down. "I need—"431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zeJSMCbMe
"Oh, you'll be fine. I'll take you home when I'm ready."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktJlmUCVz9
"When you're ready?" I groan. "That won't be until I'm a fricken undead."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9iqHE2PQX
"No. It probably will be tonight."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VylpyKEli
"Key word: probably." I sigh.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAtuBUdiWa
"If you don't shut up, I'll do what I did last night again."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoy3dtXYm7m
I look at him horrified. "No. Uh-uh."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpcw0fdxDf
He chuckles. "Then shut up. Or I will."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lRWY3ImWB

That night, at 7:17, after dinner, he takes me back to town. Once right outside the café, he asks me,431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAdpyM13AE
"Where's your house at?"431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCSKCDxMSz
"Go down this street, take a right, down that street, take the second left, and my house should be the last one on the left."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZ44zjuTFW
"That's easy."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHe7GAYSnr
"And I mean, last one, last one. Like, it's about two miles from the last one of the ones that are close together."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6eRIIxeLL
"Still easy." He grins.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbo22lMtCdm
"You weirdo."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMFrecU3R7
He laughs, obviously amused with himself.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Z25l7eI5C
"Do you realize that I don't find you even half as amusing as you think you are?"431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3QAHS5tV2
"Ah, come on. I'm not amusing to you? You don't think I'm jocular, perhaps?" He chuckles.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqgYyQflYh
"No. You are not amusing to me and you are not jocular. End of discussion."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCPQpTSeEs
"Oh, please. Don't."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE66vlTzjis
I sigh.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr98zzxt5GY
"What school do you go to?"431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhx2Sxxh6s
I groan. "You're not going to shut up, are you?"431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzp4osGZV4
He laughs. "No. Isn't that obvious to you?"431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqScVULkR2
I sigh. "I go to the Josef Haltrich High School. Happy?"431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOY2fwOh1Z
"No. What grade are you in?" He smiles.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBdxT1Manm
"Right now, I've got to finish my Junior year. Then I'll be in my Senior year. Now are you—"431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PiUsNBio8
"No. Definitely not." He pulls into the driveway. "Is your mom home?"431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWUucNHFGO
"I doubt it. She's probably at a party" I look at the empty driveway. "Her car's not in the driveway, so what do you think?"431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nKAAlgP9U
"She's not home. So …" He smiles.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0tiTdt2hq
"So? I don't—what are you doing?"431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jhfM96Asm
He leans in and pulls me into a kiss. He lets go and I kiss him back. I unbuckle my seatbelt and climb over the console. I sit in his lap with my back facing the steering wheel. 431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUDQMERNkB
"What was that for?"431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdBej7OHYM
"I don't know." He smiles. "Does that matter?"431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKekptlyB5
"Maybe."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRBb35zw39
"Ah, copycat."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCB4dWTuQJ
"Oh, shut up."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sbW4gUWFl
He chuckles and his eyes glitter.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrQO9OfGjm
I lean in and kiss him. He pulls me closer and kisses my neck.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAdoACcoyq
"My Lord, what am I doing? I can't help myself. You, a seventeen almost eighteen-year-old girl, is somehow irresistible." He moans.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvO3nWQgmC
"Mine. You're mine."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7jCOawcs0
"I don't belong to anyone but myself."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbPx4zjFk3
"Not anymore. You're mine now."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoiDTMg5iR
He shakes his head. "No." He kisses my neck again.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21WsgCDcWd
I moan and pull him closer. I feel him slowly open his mouth and I feel the indent of his sharp teeth on my sensitive skin. I pull him closer and he sinks his fangs into my neck. I cry out and feel him draining me. I go unconscious.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgD99CtdzQY

The next morning, I wake up to someone leaning over me. 431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ts6JqcUon
"Boo!"431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5WaMlqdyB
I jump up and fall out of bed. I groan. "Seriously?"
"Sí, señorita. Very necessary. We got school, idiot." She grins.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSjlXE1b9c
"Oh, it's you. I hate you, Charlotte."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaD69Lh8Jb
"You missed the Valentine's party at the high school on Saturday."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnXHCjy2X8
"Valentine's Day was on Saturday?" I gasp. "Today's Monday?"431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbyGa8lN4d
"Yes and yes."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7JzOMqKou
"Oh, shoot!" I jump up and moan, rubbing my neck, remembering last night. The whole weekend really. I quickly get ready and head out the door with Charlotte, grabbing my things on the way.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtROC8Cq4wy
We get to school and head to our lockers, which are side by side. Thankfully. We get our things and head to homeroom.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKnEq9HkZQ
Later, at lunch, we head outside to eat and she tells me of her weekend.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYY2GjDibfT
"I went out on a date Friday night. He asked me to the Valentine's dance and I said yes. Then, on Saturday, we went to the dance. On Sunday, he went to, um, Bistritz and I went to the mall to shop, and … Yeah." She sighs. "What did you do over the weekend?"431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AwluILAkM
"Oh. Uh … nothing, really."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkf59pajfu
"Then how come you weren't at your house when I went to see if you were going to the Valentine's dance and again to see if you wanted to go to the mall with me, but you weren't there."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8IaPAzqwS
"Oh, yeah. I went to the funeral home on Saturday and that's really it."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNDPqkXj2d
"What did you do at the funeral home?"
"Oh. Nothing, really. Just help with some preparations. The usual."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIi4wgj7N41
"You aren't telling the truth, are you?"431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRa6AZHYR3b
"Oh. Fine. At the funeral home, we examined the body of Count Dracula that didn't seem to be decaying at all. My mom and the funeral director left to get some information or whatever and I stayed at the funeral home to watch the body. He came back to life and drank my blood. Then, I went unconscious. I woke up later and I was in Castle Dracula. Dracula picked me up and took me up the stairs. I fell asleep and he made me stay on Sunday, too. Then he brought me home Sunday night and I don't know anything else."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBepmJrvicO
"You're leaving something out. I know you are."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DzC68VNxE
I moan and put my face in my hands. "I don't … want to."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxFwqiiJs4
She puts her hand on my arm and gently squeezes. "Nikki, you know you can trust me with anything."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNA6ZndtoI
"Oh, alright." I pull my legs up close and rest my chin on my knees. I sigh. "Alright. Here goes. Saturday night, I had romance with Count Dracula. It went too far and we, um … I don't want to say it."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUmIeVBOVB
"You mean, you had 'you know what' with a centuries old vampire?"431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBW6yVwLHJ
I nod, tears strolling down my face. I turn to face her, turn my head, and pull back my hair. 431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gBDdLfAQH
She gasps. "Oh my God." Her hands fly to cover her mouth. "Oh. My. God." She looks at me, horrified.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQvtjk56MU
"I s-swear. I c-c-couldn't stop h-him. He was t-too strong. He's just so s-s-seductive. It's hard to r-resist him." I sniffle. "And he wants me as his b-bride."
"What? Your bride? Why?"431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFEVcF3wfg
"I don't know."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Os0bmjyiG
"Oh. Hey. Come on. Let's go to the bathroom."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qdZ3ze8Ni
"Why?"431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5I4ctePTs
"Just come on."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuX01izGhDt
She stands up, puts on her backpack, and throws away her trash on the way back to the school. I get up and follow her, doing the same thing.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iWI8DMLqb
We get to the bathroom and we squeeze into the biggest stall. I set my backpack on the floor and sit down on the toilet. She sets her bag down beside mine and locks the stall door. She digs around in her bag and pulls something out. She hands it to me.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0fAxMRifV
"What's this?"431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemFUnE6JNN
"It's a pregnancy test."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlPfidEtHk
"How do you use it?"431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8HkCbzc1N
"You urinate in something and put it in. You take it out and wait a little. Then you check it." She hands me a cup.
"Oh, gosh." I sigh and take the cup. "Alright. You're so lucky I have to use the bathroom anyway."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjSPfHqSeM
"Okay. I'll stand against the door, so someone won't see the both of us and think we're doing something we shouldn't. We have about fifteen minutes till the bell rings for the end of lunch. So we should be fine."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3G36IDau8
I do everything she says and cover my eyes as I pull it out of the cup. I sit and wait a few minutes. I lift it up and peek at it. I shriek and cover my mouth, dropping it on the floor.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcBETjr0N0
She looks up from her phone and looks at me. "You okay?"431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDePMxpiAvt
"No!"431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5lYWjE3Fz
She picks up the stick thing and looks at it. She gasps. She slides down the wall and looks up at me. "Oh God. What are you going to tell your mom?"431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVt2hLCMvsE
"I don't know. Most of all, what am I going to tell him?"431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5c4ahFOQXL
"That's true. Him most of all."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsBBMPlASz
Suddenly the bell rings to end lunch. We get up and get our things. We head to our next class.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkIBR1Fjp3
