1894 Bern. Switzerland

  Stefan sat down on the sofa and giggled; she felt good, much better than she had in years. In the past few months, she had stayed with Alucard; her possessions had been moved to the east wing of Alucard’s villa. The once bleak villa was teaming with life as servants went back and forth between the sections of the villa. All this time, Alucard had been the utmost gentleman, treating her in the way the lady of her station was to be courted. Perhaps to Stefan, he was a bit too much like a gentleman; her partner hadn't so much as kissed her on the mouth, always on the hand, it was chased, a little too chased for her. She did long for his touch sexually, but knew she would have to wait to share his bed. Not that he didn't make her feel good, she had never had a more encouraging person around her, including encouraging her to officially adopt feminine pronouns and grow out her hair, which now went down to her shoulders when untied, and today was the icing on the cake, as today she would get her dress.

  Alucard smiled as he looked at his partner. “Well, my lady, do you like it?” Stefan stood up and felt the black dress, feeling it from her neck to her body to the end of the dress at her feet. She smiled. The feeling was amazing, something she could only describe as euphoric. She smiled widely and threw herself at Alucard, “I love it, my love!” Alucard smiled and kissed her on the cheek. “I had it especially made for you, ordered it from France, hand-woven from the finest of silk.” Stefan replied, “I have for the first time ... felt like a woman.” Alucard smiled again. “Of course, but that is moot if you do not act like a woman.” Stefan nodded, “Yes, but how do I learn to act like a woman?” Alucard replied, “You will need to be taught by a noble woman, one that I can trust, that is why I called my sister from Transylvania.” Stefan looked shocked. “You have a sister?” Alucard replied “Oh I do she and I were born of the same mother by the same father on the same day, I am the older one and she is the younger one” Stefan replied “It will be great to meet her and take her instruction” Alucard nodded “She will train you in being the woman you were met to be, by the way, Stefan is no name for a lady, you must have a new one” She smiled “I've been thinking about this a long time, before I was born my mother picked out two names for me, one was Stefan and the other was Stephanie, I would like to be called Stephanie” Alucard had a wide grin “Stephanie it is” He then kissed her on the cheek again “If you will excuse me Lady Stephanie I need to handle some work I'll be back in less than our” Steph replied “Don’t take too long, I still have my English lessons to do”

  Alucard got up from the sofa, went back into his private study, sat down at his desk, and reached down and pulled up a small cylindrical device with an earpiece attached by a wire. It was a device created by Alexander Graham Bell about twenty years ago, but some places were slow to adopt it. Alucard himself rarely used it, he picked up the phone and dialed the local number, once he heard a voice speaking German on the other end replied in German “Good evening, I would like to be transferred to the Frankenstein estate” After a few minutes he was transferred there “Hello I would like to talk to Doctor Frankenstein... oh he’s not there at present? Where is he? Oh, I see ... he’s in France, thank you, have a good day.” He then hung up the phone. “France, it is.”
