《》Chapter 16

I returned to my hotel room and packed my clothes back into my travel bags. I started to move around the room with speed as I packed. When everything was packed up I sucked in a deep breath becoming nervous. I finished packing and sat down on the bed. I placed with my engagement ring. One step at a time.. I thought biting my bottom lip. The door opened and I looked up. Dracula looked around the room before his eyes landed on me.
"I'm ready" I whispered.
Dracula nods. He walks over and takes my hands in his.
"Are you sure you want me to live with you? It is a big step. Not like the whole engagement..." I said, unsure and shyly.
Dracula chuckled.
"Sooner than later.. come on."
He pulls me up and grabs my travel bag that I had came with. He placed his hand on my back and we left the room together. He lead me away to his chamber. It was a little dusty and dark. Dracula sets my bag down by the door as I looked around. I slightly pulled away from his touch and lit a few candles. I picked up the candles and turned to look at him. Dracula looked at me.
"Sorry I didn't have time to clean up," Dracula explained.
"You don't need to apologize," I replied. "You were busy. I can clean it up. Why don't you show me around?"
Dracula nods. He lead me around and showed me around his room. Not only his room but his late wife's. I could hear the pain in Dracula's voice as he told me about her. I placed my hand on his arm. He looked at me and gave me a soft painful smile.
"Why don't we have a little memorial for her before our wedding?" I offered.

"Are you sure?" Dracula asks. "You don't have to do that.."
"I want to. She was your first zing," I replied. "It would be right."
Dracula nods and looks up at the painting of them together. He turned to look at me.
"Alright," He Agreed.
Dracula takes my hand and together we leave. I already started to plan the whole thing out in my head. Once we returned to Dracula's chamber he was called away to deal with a problem.
"Go, I'll be fine," I said. "They need you."
Dracula looks down at me. He smiles softly and plants a kiss on my forehead.
"I'll be back as soon as I can" He replied.
"Take your time," I said, giggling softly.
Dracula chuckled but turned to follow the zombie down to the lobby. I closed the door softly behind them. I turned leaning against the door. I looked around the room. I sighed heavily and blew a piece of hair out of my eyes. Better get to work... I walked over to my bag and bent down. I unzipped it and started to dig around. I pulled out my hair elastic. I stood up and tied my hair into a messy bun. Where do I begin?
The door swung up and Dracula walked in. I placed the broom against the wall and turned to him.
"Welcome back," I greeted, smiling.
Dracula froze as he looked around his chamber. It was clean and even roomy. He looked at me.
"I told you I could handle it," I replied.
Dracula chuckled and walked around the room.
"I haven't seen it this clean in years," Dracula says, astonished.
"I had a lot of time and energy," I explained, sheepishly. "I even cleaned the dark curtains. They were so dusty.."

Dracula laughed with embarrassment. He scratched the back of his neck.
"I did mean to clean them.." Dracula says.
"Yeah, probably a hundred years ago," I replied, sarcastically.
Dracula laughed and smiled.
"Maybe," He replied, chuckling.
I wrapped my arms around his waist and nuzzled against his neck. His cool skin cooling my own. Dracula wrapped his arms around me and held me close. We stayed like that for a while before a yawn escaped my lips.
"I think it's time for bed," Dracula says, softly.
"Maybe," I replied, smirking.
Dracula gave my side a soft pinch and a giggle escaped my lips. We went towards the clean bedroom. Tonight Dracula wasn't going to be sleeping in a coffin.

Still a first draft, but with a bunch of edits from you guys thrown in. Thanks for that. Guaranteed updates on Monday and Thursday. This story is only available on RoyalRoad and my Patreon. If you find it anywhere else, please reach out to me. Thank you. Old cover provided by Asviloka. She's also does werds!Current cover provided by Fuyudust. Old synopsis "Hi, my name is Alexis," I say into the camera, as I attempt to calm my nerves."And I'm Sab," I hear my best friend add from beside me. It's good to have her there, it's been far too long."I'm trying to focus," I tell Sab as I look into the camera. Will anyone even watch this?"What, just cause I didn't get sent to another world, where magic and dragons are real, I don't get to be a part of this?" she questions me. I can hear the hurt in her voice. I wish she'd been there. Things might have been... different. I can't believe I thought it was a game. If it had been, she'd have been the better choice."I said I was sorry. It's not like I knew I was going to be kidnapped by the system," I lamely apologize. She deserves more, but this is important."Coming soon, to an earth near you," she might be making light, but I can hear the fear in her voice."It's not funny Sab. It really is coming," I can't help but reply to her words, even though I know she didn't mean it."Come on Lexi, it's a little funny." she tries while chuckling nervously."Sigh. Look, can we just get back to telling them?" I ask, pointing at the laptop."Sure, but first you should show them some magic," Sab declares while waving her arms around."I told you. It's not that simple. I only showed you because you could tell it wasn't fake. They'd just think it was special effects," or come after me to try to lock me in a basement."Yeah, well they're not going to believe you anyway. It sounds pretty crazy, even to me. And I've seen what you can do," she proclaims. I didn't think it was that special, but she was super impressed by my magical abilities."Maybe, but I have to try. We don't have much time," I state as I stop the recording, before starting a new one."Hello, my name is Alexis," I pronounce, projecting as much confidence as I can at the little camera."Remember, the world ends on a Tuesday."

Dragon Knight Prophecy
A hero, a dragon, and a love that breaks all bounds. A fantasy story of a man trying to save his homeland from a terrible war by completing a prophecy nobody fully understands. To complete his mission he needs a dragon but the road to the dragon’s lair goes horribly wrong, and when he finally faces the beast he stands alone. A deeply emotional story that deals with pain, regret, betrayal, and failure. Despite it all somehow our heroes discover they need each other and slowly come together. With the help of some dedicated friends they realize their love is special, and go on to forge a new world befitting their unusual union. If you like dragons, romance, a little magic and a lot of war this might be for you. This story eventually evolves into a very loving harem, where the women rely on and love one another just as much as they love our hero. Please note: I am an amateur writer who started this story as a form of therapy while my wife was teetering on the brink of death. Thankfully she survived but by that point I was so committed to telling this story I couldn’t stop. I learned a great deal about writing over time but I am afraid my early chapters were very rough. I have since gone back and begun to edit them, applying the lessons learned and cleaning them up. I hope you will still enjoy the story, as I love sharing it and I can’t imagine a better use of my time. Sexual content.. In seven books I have written two sex scenes, but one of them will be highly edited once I reach them with my rewrite. Overall I imply our characters are sharing their love but don't go into any great detail as to how. So if sexual content bothers you, it is only lightly touched on twice.
