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.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0JOVVsVKe
"Ah, someone's awake, I see." He smiles.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EkWXmdM6X
"Am I still—"785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzk5sGWbNAG
"Yes, you are. I am too." He sighs. "I'm not worried about it."785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUKhBqoCVw
I try getting up and fall back down. "I need—"785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjBRsibs5V
"Oh, you'll be fine. I'll take you home when I'm ready."785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUEY2xvNly
"When you're ready?" I groan. "That won't be until I'm a fricken undead."785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03EW0pQ8D1
"No. It probably will be tonight."785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7jv4WlFiJ
"Key word: probably." I sigh.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIVzf1xymp
"If you don't shut up, I'll do what I did last night again."785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28XAufwakZ
I look at him horrified. "No. Uh-uh."785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aZRCd54Mf
He chuckles. "Then shut up. Or I will."785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBV9m6JETq4

That night, at 7:17, after dinner, he takes me back to town. Once right outside the café, he asks me,785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtc6s285I2
"Where's your house at?"785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfT1N8AOPXs
"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."785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgXOmAXQLi
"That's easy."785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRii5rp9YZi
"And I mean, last one, last one. Like, it's about two miles from the last one of the ones that are close together."785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkoYkGOFvM
"Still easy." He grins.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLT4TSUDfq2
"You weirdo."785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoAdcNe2Ra
He laughs, obviously amused with himself.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvL4W8CJbO
"Do you realize that I don't find you even half as amusing as you think you are?"785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6Ddde8A2u
"Ah, come on. I'm not amusing to you? You don't think I'm jocular, perhaps?" He chuckles.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4c40U2bJFB
"No. You are not amusing to me and you are not jocular. End of discussion."785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtpGlVHzFD
"Oh, please. Don't."785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtaKTRaMuK
I sigh.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCALvj9aqzX
"What school do you go to?"785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uQfM6KIMS
I groan. "You're not going to shut up, are you?"785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPo8M089XVQ
He laughs. "No. Isn't that obvious to you?"785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrWyuQ5G14
I sigh. "I go to the Josef Haltrich High School. Happy?"785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokdGQO8Yix
"No. What grade are you in?" He smiles.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdLRwlIuYd
"Right now, I've got to finish my Junior year. Then I'll be in my Senior year. Now are you—"785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9c6GWuR7j
"No. Definitely not." He pulls into the driveway. "Is your mom home?"785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjuQSOftMQ
"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?"785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrFxODiubb
"She's not home. So …" He smiles.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdV0W5X08dn
"So? I don't—what are you doing?"785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxglmlGet4
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. 785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BLijjpj1x
"What was that for?"785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4aqDn0zUH
"I don't know." He smiles. "Does that matter?"785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOfiL4VOTn
"Maybe."785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUWd9Cr4Or
"Ah, copycat."785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TU7IKkQaq
"Oh, shut up."785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pkSJYHlgj
He chuckles and his eyes glitter.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1YtdmDqcd
I lean in and kiss him. He pulls me closer and kisses my neck.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwaHoPqr7R
"My Lord, what am I doing? I can't help myself. You, a seventeen almost eighteen-year-old girl, is somehow irresistible." He moans.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5szfu8ocHi
"Mine. You're mine."785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1MpgyhNc0
"I don't belong to anyone but myself."785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnnAjL9Z9o
"Not anymore. You're mine now."785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTQYxmpRQ3
He shakes his head. "No." He kisses my neck again.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QzW5axAJ5
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.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZ1lh7mNYc

The next morning, I wake up to someone leaning over me. 785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSMSEZ3jIR
"Boo!"785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6c4No0Y4z
I jump up and fall out of bed. I groan. "Seriously?"
"Sí, señorita. Very necessary. We got school, idiot." She grins.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5G8P3CkLQw
"Oh, it's you. I hate you, Charlotte."785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8VtE1dKdB
"You missed the Valentine's party at the high school on Saturday."785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4h0LndtDPs
"Valentine's Day was on Saturday?" I gasp. "Today's Monday?"785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kk8EeAY9X
"Yes and yes."785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3hVQjw3UB
"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.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlkFal815a
We get to school and head to our lockers, which are side by side. Thankfully. We get our things and head to homeroom.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZe06gmu0q
Later, at lunch, we head outside to eat and she tells me of her weekend.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmj1G8iu6mV
"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?"785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJ6OfDNE6S
"Oh. Uh … nothing, really."785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GZaLybOpj
"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."785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxIyfbwYoK
"Oh, yeah. I went to the funeral home on Saturday and that's really it."785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8aThWETn9
"What did you do at the funeral home?"
"Oh. Nothing, really. Just help with some preparations. The usual."785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXAWd4gjJu
"You aren't telling the truth, are you?"785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSxklBkZMi
"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."785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkbjsUJHyu
"You're leaving something out. I know you are."785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT21ule7bel
I moan and put my face in my hands. "I don't … want to."785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXk4h0KZi4y
She puts her hand on my arm and gently squeezes. "Nikki, you know you can trust me with anything."785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9nsezWvvA
"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."785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1wYMaf402
"You mean, you had 'you know what' with a centuries old vampire?"785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOcYqkg8Oq
I nod, tears strolling down my face. I turn to face her, turn my head, and pull back my hair. 785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6vYWG0CAk
She gasps. "Oh my God." Her hands fly to cover her mouth. "Oh. My. God." She looks at me, horrified.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlKY5Sd3jY
"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?"785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9USlSFfTo6
"I don't know."785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4v2XKtwPz2
"Oh. Hey. Come on. Let's go to the bathroom."785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAchgOlRlx
"Why?"785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcdCGEKslT
"Just come on."785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDKObefQ0c
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.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vvHQ5PuxC
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.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOT3aVpPyj
"What's this?"785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpyjdouTz4
"It's a pregnancy test."785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduVJS9Xmf4
"How do you use it?"785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5o1fNNpL0k
"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."785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzLFm91C6r
"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."785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeFyKm7YqN
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.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9oi1ZKeFn
She looks up from her phone and looks at me. "You okay?"785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1odFXLrcj
"No!"785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡen7AlmuJpv
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?"785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpDcsLKiKy
"I don't know. Most of all, what am I going to tell him?"785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfN0kzJldbF
"That's true. Him most of all."785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvWynTEJUH
Suddenly the bell rings to end lunch. We get up and get our things. We head to our next class.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzi31SvKtg
