Victoria Blackwood is a commoner amongst the town. A dark, mysterious building lures her into the night and finds herself in an unbelievable predicament with the towns biggest legend.
It was about 3am and I couldn't sleep, I don't know if it was because I just wasn't tired or the fact I couldn't stop thinking about him. I groaned and got out of bed to put slippers on, I stilled had on a nightgown and didn't feel like changing. I went back down to the library and the moon shined in through the top, it had a big dome like glass in the middle. It was so charming.
I looked through the shelves and picked out a book to read and look through, I laid on the couch and read for about 30 minutes before I fell asleep.
I was awoken by someone petting my face and hair. I opened my eyes slowly to meet eyes with Gerard. I felt calm in his presence, "You fell asleep, let's get you back to your room, come here." He picked me up bridal style while I wrapped my arms around his neck. I noticed he didn't have his fancy outfit on, he was now wearing silk pajamas.
He brought me to my room and laid me down in the bed pulling the covers up. "Do you need company?" he whispered in my ear softly. I nodded and laid on my side pulling the covers up. He turned the lights off and got in the bed.
Once I realized he was now also in bed with me, I tensed. He pulled the other side of the covers up and laid still. He took his hand and gently caressed my hair, I could feel his finger tips gently go up and down my back.
I fell asleep shortly after.

Victoria's POV:
I tried moving my body but felt trapped, there was something holding me down. I open my eyes and see that I'm wrapped around someones body. Arms were wrapped my torso clinging onto me tightly. I heard light breathing coming from above my head. I look up and see a peaceful Gerard sleeping.
My heart started beating faster and I somehow managed to untangle myself from his arms without waking him up. I slightly panicked and grabbed a few things from my closet and shut myself in the bathroom. I locked the door and hopped in the shower.
I got out putting a towel around my body and put my hair in a claw clip thing. I started brushing my teeth when I heard the door knob jiggle and someone pounding on the door, "Vic? Are you okay? You're not answering, I'm worried." Gerard? I crack the door open only popping my head out, "Dude, I'm fine. I was just showering," he sighed with relief. "Sorry..I'll let you get ready," he smiled and scratched the back of his head, leaving the room.
Gerard's POV:
I laid with Victoria all night. I thought about getting up and leaving halfway through the night because what if I made her uncomfortable? It was late and I sat staring at the ceiling until I felt a warm body press up against me. Vic laid her head on my chest laying her arm across my torso.
I felt my cheeks get hot. Why do I feel like this?
I wrapped my arms around her pulling her in tightly. I closed my eyes and drifted into dream land. When I woke up she was no longer in my arms, I immediately panicked. Did she leave? Oh no. I flew around the castle to see if I could find a trace of her but nothing. I went back to the room and as I walked past the bathroom door I heard some one moving about so I started jiggling the door handle and knocking on it.
She opened the door with her hair soaking wet and I'm guessing a towel around her. Steam immediately hit my face as soon as she opened the door, jesus...
I was embarrassed by the fact I freaked out over nothing. I can't lose her, she's too special.
"Sorry...I'll let you get ready," I said and left immediately.
Victoria's POV:
That was such a strange interaction...I got myself ready putting on natural glowy makeup and a gown that was put in my closet by the guys.

I looked at myself in the mirror and went out on my way. I grabbed my small bag with my sketch pad before going. I managed to get out without anyone approaching which was surprising. I walked down the big stairs outside and down to a path I wasn't too familiar with but it didn't seem to have any people around and actually went away from town.
The tree got a bit thicker but I still had plenty of light to see. I found myself an old wooden bench that looks like it hadn't been sat on in years. I sat down and started sketching away. Drawing pulls me in like a trance that I almost didn't notice the noise of twigs snapping.
I snapped my head up and held my breath to see a figure coming from further in the trail. I stood up to see if I can see them better, they man got closer and started screaming. "GET OVER HERE FREAK!" a disheveled looking man with a large stake comes running towards me. I started running while occasionally looking back. "I KNOW YOU'RE A VAMPIRE! YOU DESERVE TO DIE!"
I thought I was getting away but I tripped over some large rocks that were imbedded into the ground. Fuck, I think I broke my toe. As I was getting up the man grabbed the back collar of my dress and put me in a headlock. He held the stake to my chest, "This is what you stupid vampires deserve!"
He rose the stake up to impale my chest then I felt myself getting yanked away. I fell to the floor ripping some of the dress, but now wasn't the time to worry about that. I ran as fast as I could with my janky toe.
I made it to the stairs that lead up to the castle but stopped at the bottom to catch my breath. "Holy shit," I said while panting and basically collapsing on the ground. "Vic!" I heard Ray yell out. "There you are, let me help you," I extended my arms to him and he picked me up bridal style and smoothly brought me up the stairs. I don't even think he walked, just floated.
He got me inside to the living room and sat me on the couch, "I'll be right back." Ray then disappeared and Mikey appeared instead. Mikey came back with some comfy clothes and a first aid kit.
He immediately put his focus on my toe, "Let me fix this and then I'll leave so you can put these pajamas on." I winced in pain as he put stuff around my toe, "This should do for now." Before he left the room I said, "Thank you, Mikey," he smiled and nodded.
