<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 85%; line-height: 116%;">Mina smiled and hugged him, " The name just sounds...familiar, a story I once heard...I will look into further tomorrow." As he laid down, Mina ran off to her changing room next to the bed. She couldn't stand being in the same thing for too long, it was an amazement she stayed in the white gown all night. "I hope I find answers for you, Neos.." Mina sighed and changed into her black corset and matching skirt; it was easier to be dressed for next night in case...anything happened. After preparing everything for the next night and making sure everything was safe for her newfound human friend, Mina went to her bed and laid beside Neos. Her body slowly huddling towards him; the warmth was something she could get used to..<br/><br/><br/>~At sundown the next night~<br/><br/>Marcus knocked on Mina's door quietly before opening, "M'lady Mina....It's your father...he's right down the hall." Mina was already sitting up, playing with Neos's hair, "I see....Well, I will have to get him to leave this area...Now. You will stay here with him." Mina smiled, unafraid of her Father. They switched places like the speed of light, the door was closed quietly and Mina was on her way down the hallway. "Father. Good Evening, did you rest well?" Mina's smile was wide as she embraced him, however when she tried to pull away...he did not let go.<br/> <br/> "...I smell human on you, love. Did you have a guest last night?" Vladimir's eyes slowly found hers, the deep sanguine orbs peirced her light blue eyes...she felt chills. "I did father, my slave infact. I've grown quite attached to his blood, so I am keeping him as...a pet." Mina giggled playfully, her father shared her bloodlust enthusiasm. "Very well, my child. I shall see you at twilight." He kissed her forehead and suddenly vanished. A wonderful family trait of the Dracul's.<br/><br/>Mina sighed and turned to walk back to her room; she suddenly felt a colder hand across her neck, a low growl from the shadows, "You and I have unfinished business, <span style="font-style: italic">lady</span> Mina...After our Lord leaves this place, you <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">will</span></span> be mine." the hand was gone, but Mina felt the bite deep on her shoulder, "Great.." A scowl was across her face as she hastily approached her room, pushing the door open and moving Marcus aside. "Marcus, I'm sorry...fetch me blood, please? I didn't know Erik had returned as well...seems as though he's still angry." Mina giggled as she tended to the bite - three times he got her...He was a quick one. </span></div>
