*Her blood burned though him, driving him onward, drinking deeply of her. His skin grew warmer as hers cooled, the transition of the life force coursing into him with each beat of her heart. As she neared death, he pulled back, his lips stained red. He was intoxicated with blood, but found his wrist and bit it, offering it to her pale lips.*
"Drink now..."

*With the small amount of remaining strength she had left, she did as instructed, at first trying not to choke on the metallic sting of the blood...but then, it changed...seemed more sweet...more...*
Like power.
*She began to take it more insistently, almost greedily*

*He smiled, swooning at the sensation, cradling her close as she drank.*
"Yes...take what you need...what you crave..."

*She could feel it, flooding her, filling her senses and her body as the changes worked their way. She felt stronger, faster, sharper of mind...
Sensing that it was nearing an amount that might harm him, she reluctantly let go, feeling a sudden searing pain in her jaw. She barely had time to whimper when the fangs erupted from her gums.
And then she grinned, bearing her new teeth*
"I may be bad, but I feel...good."

*Dracula sighed, a bit drained.*
"And you will only grow stronger."
*He glanced at the pile of clothing on the floor.*
"When you are ready, I will take you to the house, that you might meet the rest of the family."

*She tilted her head to one side, curious*
"Others...of your blood?"

"Yes." *He answered, almost shyly. Normally he would have mentioned them before, but he had been caught up in the moment.*
"I...value a large family. I hope that will not dissuade you."

"Oh, no--I would like to meet others. The very thought intrigues me."

*Dracula brightened, but he was still concerned what she would say when they got there. But there was nothing to be done for it now. He nuzzled her gently.*
"Whenever you are ready. I am not adverse to staying a bit longer, if it would please you."

*She giggled a bit at the nuzzle, settling against him*
"Oh, I can't decide...I want to stay here a while, but I also want to meet them. Is it terribly pressing?"

*A deep chuckle rattled in his chest.*
"Of course not. We have all the time in the world."
*He smiled and kissed her forehead.*

*She settled more fully then, perfectly content to be lazy and stay here with him*
"For once, I can say that with surety."

*He rested, his arm draped around her, holding her close.*
"I hope that puts your mind at ease."

"Oh, indeed it does. In fact, I think I haven't so at ease before in my life."

*Dracula's smile grew.*
"I do hope that you keep such positive spirits. It is important as the years move forward. But in time, one adjusts to the concept of forever."
*He brushed her hair back from her face.*
