Dracula

Epilogue

It has been three years since the war has ended.

Vlad stood in the doorway of the bedroom to which he held Dax. Vlad still remembers what he felt when he heard Dax's heart stop. Vlad closed the door not wanting to remember that night.

He headed to where his boys were, in the garden. That was the one place Dax loved the most. Some nights Vlad would find him there with a book in hand waiting for him to come home from one of his hunting trips.

Vlad remembers what Dax's eyes looked like in the moonlight. How his hair fell, shining like the morning light under the star-filled sky. Those are what Vlad wants to remember about Dax.

On his way, he passed Teo and Radu in the hall.

Radu told Teo how he feels about him after so long. Vlad felt bad in away. He never knew his brother has such feelings for Teo if he had known those years ago he would have stepped back. But you can't change what happen all those years ago.

Vlad happy his little brother found love. His older brother Mirceal finally told everyone that Stefan and he have been seeing each other for some time now. Teo was a little off-putting about it. Teo always though his father went to some whore house when he went out at night and came home in the morning.

The whole time he would go to Mirceal. Their spot they went to was Stefan's old cabin in the middle of the forest. Most of the time they would just talk and cuddle and then there where some nights that they would make love to one another. Vlad was happy his brothers didn't have to hide who they are.

Vlad uncle Bogda II and his father Vlad II told everyone that they are not brothers after all. Vlad II's mother had find Bogda II on the streets one winter night. She couldn't turn her back on him. Bad enough she had already lost a son that year. So she took him and she and Vlad II's father raised him as their own.

After learning this Stephen and Mihea came forth and told them they to have been seeing one another. They didn't care that they were cousins or not. They fell in love with one another and they could stop it. So they went behind everyone's backs. Now they know they don't have to hide their love for one another.

Vlad made it to the garden where everyone was sitting and talking. Calin ran to his father to which Vlad picked him up and hugged him. Teo and Radu came shortly after Vlad carring the rest of the food out to the table.

Everyone ran to the table to get a sit. Vlad stood back watching everyone. They sat beside their lover. His father head of the table and his mother at the other end. On the left Radu and Teo, Stefan and Mirceal. On the right Bogda II, Stephen, Mihea. Beside his mother on the left sat Vlad Drakwlya his youngest son. On the right side sat his youngest son Calin beside Calin was two empty sits.

Vlad smiled at his family. As odd as they are they where his family and he wouldn't change it for the world. So lost in his thoughts he didn't feel a pair of arms wrapped around him from behind. He smiled knowing who it is. "I see food is done," Dax said. "Indeed it is love. Should we go." Vlad said.

Vlad took Dax's hand and lead him to the table. Dax sat beside Calin and Vlad took his spot beside his lover. "Took you long enough to get here," Teo said in a joking tone. "Sorry I got so lost in a new book I forgot about the time. And I also invite someone else to the party." Dax said.

Not soon after Liviu came walking up the path. "I'm not late am I?" Liviu asked. "No just in time," Dax said. The night that Dax's heart stopped Vlad known he had to save his love, so he did the one thing he never wanted to do bite him. When he did Dax turn. The first thing Dax wanted to do was check on the family that took him in.

When he made it back to town the whole town was gone. People were walking around looking for loved ones or a place to stay. Dax saw Liviu at his family shop. Sadly Liviu family was lost during the war. Dax told him everything once he got Liviu back to the castle. The town was rebuild and Liviu reopen his family shop.

Liviu took his seat next to Vlad D, to which his face turn a light shade of red. Vlad D has a small crush on Liviu.

"I would like to give a toast." Vlad II said as he stood up. "To my family and my friends. It has been a hard few years. I'm happy to have all of you with me through these hard times. I love every one of you. God bless you all." Vlad II said. 'Cheerers' everyone said.

After eating and cleaning up. Dax ran around with Calin for a while until it started to get dark out. Liviu was staying the night in the guest room right beside Vlad D's room. The other went to their rooms for the night. Dax read to Calin until he fell asleep.

Vlad watched from the doorway like he always does every night. After Dax kissed the top of Calin's head he headed to Vlad. Vlad closes the door and they made their way to their room.

It wasn't long that all their clothing made it to the floor and Vlad was inside his lover. "Vlad" Dax moan. "Yes, love." Vlad whisper in his ear. "I love you," Dax whisper back into Vlad's ear. "I love you too," Vlad said before kissing Dax shoulder and ramming hard into Dax.

"GOD VLAD RIGHT THERE DON'T STOP." Dax moan. "I wouldn't think of it," Vlad said.

Once they were done making love for the night Dax laid on Vlad's chest, they listen to each other breathing. Soon after Dax fell asleep and Vlad watched as he slept. Vlad still remembers how it felt to lose Dax. He never wanted to feel that again.

The day Dax woke after he went through the changed he kissed Vlad like it was the last time and told Vlad he loved him. That night was their first time. As they were making love Vlad saw where the sword went into Dax's chest. It missed his heart. But every time Vlad looked at it, it brought back the night he could have lost Dax.

Now when he sees it, he sees a stronger caring and loving man. The one that his kids call papa. The one he gets to hold every night for the rest of how every long they have. The one who gets lost in a book and forget dinner on the stove. The one that everyone goes to when they need someone to talk to. The one he fell in love with over and over again.

With that thought in mind, Vlad closed his eyes. For tomorrow is a new day, with new surprises. As longs as Dax by his side, he can take on anything that comes his way. No matter how big or how small.
