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.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeqOKL7rXL
"Ah, someone's awake, I see." He smiles.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQ9oeTgt2l
"Am I still—"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8mWXjoRRP
"Yes, you are. I am too." He sighs. "I'm not worried about it."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaox1WYaJvk
I try getting up and fall back down. "I need—"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FKyf50UA8
"Oh, you'll be fine. I'll take you home when I'm ready."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ohPJ4fGD1
"When you're ready?" I groan. "That won't be until I'm a fricken undead."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMU4lGzdnzn
"No. It probably will be tonight."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXLxtoPQFP
"Key word: probably." I sigh.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsdjImUNmW
"If you don't shut up, I'll do what I did last night again."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡun4GhQcYV5
I look at him horrified. "No. Uh-uh."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWm4qs4r5z
He chuckles. "Then shut up. Or I will."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ciAzrK9qL

That night, at 7:17, after dinner, he takes me back to town. Once right outside the café, he asks me,433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8GPxXgjj6
"Where's your house at?"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgSrNzoDPA
"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."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZnXSiTwHe
"That's easy."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvyaQPQLoP
"And I mean, last one, last one. Like, it's about two miles from the last one of the ones that are close together."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8HXpfRpDO
"Still easy." He grins.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNqgc2ij7k
"You weirdo."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl135koGSyQ
He laughs, obviously amused with himself.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgEet3KjyW
"Do you realize that I don't find you even half as amusing as you think you are?"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJ9GDYAdcg
"Ah, come on. I'm not amusing to you? You don't think I'm jocular, perhaps?" He chuckles.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoobPuVMUkR
"No. You are not amusing to me and you are not jocular. End of discussion."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjIhgRftEE
"Oh, please. Don't."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbPwZ3xCJo
I sigh.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYFgoaECol
"What school do you go to?"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCY335yDU2
I groan. "You're not going to shut up, are you?"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSC3k5XW4Pc
He laughs. "No. Isn't that obvious to you?"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkPpvgi5cO
I sigh. "I go to the Josef Haltrich High School. Happy?"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTSfcuGSAy
"No. What grade are you in?" He smiles.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOGTCTqhDZ
"Right now, I've got to finish my Junior year. Then I'll be in my Senior year. Now are you—"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3onxF3u8H9
"No. Definitely not." He pulls into the driveway. "Is your mom home?"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWf9o6DpNy4
"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?"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6lJhHyfQZ
"She's not home. So …" He smiles.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPqtMlW8H4
"So? I don't—what are you doing?"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWg44oa8xi
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. 433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3qgYwPI27
"What was that for?"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQ4xCbdYTA
"I don't know." He smiles. "Does that matter?"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGP5LdOASEs
"Maybe."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEb33VrD1a
"Ah, copycat."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlj46IaJw9J
"Oh, shut up."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmWJ8cGbdM
He chuckles and his eyes glitter.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVipo9kmML
I lean in and kiss him. He pulls me closer and kisses my neck.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yiMOCMlyU
"My Lord, what am I doing? I can't help myself. You, a seventeen almost eighteen-year-old girl, is somehow irresistible." He moans.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1hGnO8A42
"Mine. You're mine."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINrywxpVw6
"I don't belong to anyone but myself."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5AC8kje43
"Not anymore. You're mine now."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKI8VcPcwA
He shakes his head. "No." He kisses my neck again.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabEo0TlH0M
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.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVmYF20XDT

The next morning, I wake up to someone leaning over me. 433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzcH7LHX3c
"Boo!"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGS0asvOu6
I jump up and fall out of bed. I groan. "Seriously?"
"Sí, señorita. Very necessary. We got school, idiot." She grins.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChw4gKQGpX
"Oh, it's you. I hate you, Charlotte."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CbIx9j4zJ
"You missed the Valentine's party at the high school on Saturday."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ994fOXFjVD
"Valentine's Day was on Saturday?" I gasp. "Today's Monday?"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRX1iWQ4yI
"Yes and yes."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7WfqVFAtc
"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.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSM8J0njV10
We get to school and head to our lockers, which are side by side. Thankfully. We get our things and head to homeroom.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHTYcrUnNB
Later, at lunch, we head outside to eat and she tells me of her weekend.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVO9Ompuwi
"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?"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94YbGuYkQW
"Oh. Uh … nothing, really."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eIcCbHGMl
"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."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaN2psIc96
"Oh, yeah. I went to the funeral home on Saturday and that's really it."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65aMo4NaCO
"What did you do at the funeral home?"
"Oh. Nothing, really. Just help with some preparations. The usual."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPn9Q0GyD5C
"You aren't telling the truth, are you?"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwn9KNecNdx
"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."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQaENY4yQH
"You're leaving something out. I know you are."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDoABIULvV
I moan and put my face in my hands. "I don't … want to."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5ucOES8ZY
She puts her hand on my arm and gently squeezes. "Nikki, you know you can trust me with anything."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjZIN5W3ae
"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."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6005aeqUw
"You mean, you had 'you know what' with a centuries old vampire?"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDz1qNAswur
I nod, tears strolling down my face. I turn to face her, turn my head, and pull back my hair. 433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7z1mcP6hG
She gasps. "Oh my God." Her hands fly to cover her mouth. "Oh. My. God." She looks at me, horrified.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Kx9Ljs8sF
"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?"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1zXcdsXT8
"I don't know."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyt5dbiD3D
"Oh. Hey. Come on. Let's go to the bathroom."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6msuQyUxen
"Why?"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlN3SHL8lam
"Just come on."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlx1DFBaJy0
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.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAI2nl391Mr
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.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbMrQpjNg6
"What's this?"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgF4kklW2J
"It's a pregnancy test."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfCiNkls8z
"How do you use it?"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfa1XVvRDE
"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."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIamnJPMUBX
"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."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdvxkFpQpO
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.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlJGa6LeuJ
She looks up from her phone and looks at me. "You okay?"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTnx3bm2I8
"No!"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8x9tPvvJwR
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?"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb217vGO1Uw
"I don't know. Most of all, what am I going to tell him?"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSn4UvqB6nE
"That's true. Him most of all."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV42myoTi7s
Suddenly the bell rings to end lunch. We get up and get our things. We head to our next class.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzI4xJgd35Q
