***FADE IN***
*Sylvia wept. And screamed and cried. And no one came. No one saved her. She felt her body curl satisfied against him, this monster. She sensed her face nuzzled against his neck, she could smell his hair.*
"Oh, my love. I have waited ages for such a thing. I know that it is only a taste...it will be divine when she is mine and I can come to you at my own will."

"It won't be long. I promise."
*Dracula sighed as he stroked her arm and pulled her closer.*

Don't touch me...please...
*Sylvia felt exhausted. She couldn't fight anymore. She could only sit in the darkness and suffer. Her hand traced the skin of his chest.*
"Mmm...my prince...tell me of your life here. What have I missed? I feel that I have been gone so long. Surely there have been whole lifetimes without you. I am sorry it took me so long to find you again."

"After a while it became more of a curse then a gift this immortality. I had given up and thought that I would never find you again."
*Dracula shifted slightly.*
"I did things, my love, things I am not proud of."

*Sylvia felt herself shift, her hands cupping his face.*
"My love, it is my fault. I left you. I should have waited, knowing you would return to me. Unburden yourself, just tell me what weighs at your heart."

*Dracula stared at the ceiling and felt a wave of guilt hit him.*
"There were others, other women men, sheep. I never really loved one, I just...."

*Sylvia felt a sharp stabbing in her chest and her hands fell away from his skin. It was quiet in the blackness for a long time.*
"I...I understand. I could not expect you to wait forever."

"No."
*Dracula turned to his side and pressed his forehead against her shoulder.*
"No, I was to blame. I should have kept believing. I should have kept looking."

*In that darkness, Sylvia pulled away, shying from this man that had violated her so grievously. But she had no will to move the flesh and so it was, he rested against her and her hands sought out his face, lifting it and bringing it to her own. She felt his lips in that kiss...the one that made her shiver in fear. But she felt her body given freely to him, drawing him closer, comforting him.*
"My sweet lord, you are a conquerer, it is who you are."
*She felt her teeth press into her bottom lip, as if trying to decide, trying to push away the ache in her chest. The voice began hesitant, but finished strong and sure.*
"So conquer them, ravage them, bind them in chains to your will...but keep your heart for me. If I am your first wife, I am satisfied. Give me rein over them, let them bow to me as your queen...and I will not deny you them."
*She felt the kiss again, her fingers pulling at his flesh, drawing him close.*
"They may be your brides in conquest, but I am the one who is called wife."
*She stroked his hair soothingly.*
"Once I have vanquished the parasite in this shell, I will assume my destined place at your side. Together we shall bear a great household. You will need them as your subjects and your servants."
((I always did wonder that. They're always listed as Dracula's brides, never his wives. Hmm...))

((Two questions:
1. Irene meant nothing to you?!
and...
2. If Crane were to walk in, would he see anything?))

((My assumptions. Dracula, please correct me if I'm wrong.
1. He'd say anything to get out of trouble with his newly found SO. Don't be too offended, I'm sure he still wants to claim her most evilly.
2. As far as I know, Crane is either sleeping next to her at the time or would come back to the room to see her in a restless sleep. He could wake her and break up the scene. If he does, can we take it back to the Hilton?))

((In that case, should I break it up now, or wait for Dracula to come back?))

((Now is fine if you feel the urge. We can always pick things up another night. And it'll give Dracula something to stew over.))

"Sylvia! Sylvia!"
*Crane's voice cut into the dream, as he shook her awake*
"Were you having a nightmare? You sounded as if you were in pain, and you were thrashing everywhere."
