Vampires Will Never Hurt You - Gerard Way Dracula

7

Victoria's  POV: 

The others got up and left, now it was me and Mr. Way. The room was so tense and so quiet that you could hear a pen drop or a damn paperclip. I continued to eat again and ate about half of my  food until he spoke, "After you're finished go clean up and meet me in the Library, I know you're familiar with that place." What does he mean by that? Does he know I took a book? Did I destroy something and not know it? "Yes sir, I'll be there," I felt so intimidated. His tone reminded me of my dad. 

"Sir?" he chuckled and got up to leave. He then snapped his fingers and the maids coming rushing to his side, "Clean the table. And hun, as I said no need to be so formal. You're safe." He exited the room and his walk was smooth, it looked like he was floating. It was crazy. 

I stuffed my face as fast as I could and left. As soon as I got to my room I locked the door and exhaled deeply. I found the bathroom quickly and was surprised to find a mirror, I washed my face with cold water. 

I walked around the room admiring the details and room decor. I opened the closet to find all my belongings neatly organized and outfits I've never seen before. I looked at the clock and nearly 30 minutes  have passed. Shoot, I need to meet Gerard. 

I booked it to the library and saw him sitting on one of the couches with his legs crossed. I quietly walked across the library and sat on the couch. "How was your meal?" he asked while looking up from his lap. "Good, probably the best meal I've had in a while. Thank you," for some reason I can't manage to make eye contact with him. 

"Look at me when you talk to me. That was the first time in a while we've had to cook a real meal. Before you ask me questions, let me ask some," that first sentence set chills down my spine. I tried to sit back more relaxed, "Sure, shoot some questions." 

"What's your fascination with us?" he leans forward.

"Well I didn't know there was multiple of you but I don't really know, childhood stories I guess," I said shyly. 

"Why are you not scared of me? Or us? It's strange," he says while snapping his fingers. I guess he's calling maids over. "Ever since I was a child all I wanted to do was search for a vampire. I knew from a young age that if I was going to do that I had to be fearless and stand my ground. It's in my nature I guess," I shrugged pulling my cardigan around me. 

The maids rush in and set out tea for us, I don't really like tea but I guess I'll have some. I pick up the teacup, "Careful, it's hot." Mr. Way says worriedly and takes the cup from my hands to set it down so I don't burn myself. "Isn't it my turn to ask some questions?" I tease. I saw him smirk but he tried to hide it. Gotta be slicker than that Mr. Way. 

He gestures his hand in a way that tells me to go ahead, "What is the most difficult part of being a vampire?" He sits and thinks about the question and takes a sip of the tea, "You may drink it now. I would say finding love, that's quite hard." Interesting answer. You'd think he'd say something about finding prey or the humans in town trying to kill them. 

I take a sip of the tea which was quite yummy but tasted slightly like metal, "I heard you say a lot of the stuff I read was wrong, so from here on out I'm gonna pretend I know nothing. So, what are things you can do?" 

"Smart girl. I can fly, grow my nails super long, heightened senses, good stamina, very intelligent, don't age, live forever. There's so much for you to learn, princess." I think my heart skipped a beat and I think he knows. I start to take nervous sips of my tea causing me to choke on it. He rushes to my side patting my back and holding my hand. They were cold to the touch but comforting in a weird way. 

"Are you okay?" we meet eyes while our faces are inches apart. I stand up quickly from how nervous I am, I've never felt this way for a man in my life. I was never allowed to have crushes or boyfriends because my parents said it would rot my mind and make me impure. "Sorry..I think I might go to my room if that's okay with you?" I wanted to ask permission so I don't make him upset and accidentally become vampire food. "Take your time darling, it's hard to adjust. I understand. Have a good night," he got up and disappeared in a flash. 

I made my way to my room as fast as I could and immediately sat at the desk taking notes. Sooner than later that peace I wanted was being disrupted by Mikey. "Sorry for bothering you. I just wanted to chat," he said nervously. "You're fine! What's up?" I push my glasses up to the top of my head. 

"How do you like it so far? Like you're not freaked out or anything.." was I supposed to be freaked out when all I've wanted was to get away from my family? "I love it actually! Peaceful, and why would I be freaked out? The worst of it is already over. You wouldn't believe how nervous I was meeting him." I turn back to my desk and continue to write and draw. Mikey stands over my shoulder watching. 

"You're really good at that, you should draw or paint something for our art room. Like where we first met, I think it'd look nice," that was really nice of him to say. "I don't think I'm talented enough for that. The art you have in there are from the best of the best," he scoffs in reply to me. "You're extremely talented don't talk down to yourself like that. Gerard hates when you do that," I turn back around. "What do you mean by that?" 

"I should get going now! Night, get some good rest!" he rushed out of the room quite quickly. Odd. 

Gerard's POV: 

She was late but I could excuse her because this is all very new to her. I try to control my temper so I don't go overboard and scare her. I heard footsteps approaching the library, the door open and she takes a deep a breath as she walks to me. Her steps were light and gentle. 

We sat and talked for what felt like forever. She was a very confident girl who knew what she wanted and would do anything for said thing. But deep down I could tell how nervous she was, how she had to think a little more about what she's saying, I admired that. 

After she excused herself to her room I felt bad about getting so close to her. I think it scared her but that wasn't my intention. I only hope to grow closer to her. 

I met with Ray and Frank in my bedroom, "Ask her to stay! I think she fits right in," says Ray. "I'm scared. What if she doesn't want to? What if she doesn't want to be a vampire? What if she doesn't like me?" all these thoughts run through my head. Wait, why do I care if she likes me? 

"Someone has a crush on Victoriaaa!" Frank says teasingly. The two idiots laugh together, "I do not!" Silence fills the room. "Okay maybe I do!"
