I suppose I must have fallen asleep; I hope so, but I fear, for all that followed was startlingly real—so real that now sitting here in the broad, full sunlight of the morning, I cannot in the least believe that it was all sleep.  \nI was not alone. The room was the same; I could see along the ﬂoor, in the brilliant moonlight, my own footsteps marked where I had disturbed the long accumulation of dust. In the moonlight opposite me were three young women. I thought at the time that I must be dreaming when I saw them, for, though the moonlight was behind them, they threw no shadow on the ﬂoor. They came close to me, and looked at me for some time, and then whispered together. Two were dark, and had beak-like noses, like the Count, and great dark, piercing eyes that seemed to be almost red when contrasted with the pale yellow moon. The other was fair, as fair as can be, with great wavy masses of golden hair and eyes like pale sapphires. All three had brilliant white teeth that shone like pearls against their ruby lips.  \nI was afraid to raise my eyelids, but looked out and saw perfectly under the lashes. The girl arched her neck she actually licked her lips like an animal, till I could see in the moonlight the moisture shining on the scarlet lips and on the red tongue as it lapped the white sharp teeth. Lower and lower went her head as the lips went below the range of my mouth and chin and seemed about to fasten on my throat. Then she paused, and I could hear the churning sound of her tongue as it licked her teeth and lips, and could feel the hot breath on my neck. Then the skin of my throat began to tingle as one’s ﬂesh does when the hand that is to tickle it approaches nearer—nearer. I could feel the soft, shivering touch of the lips on the super-sensitive skin of my throat, and the hard dents of two sharp teeth, just touching and pausing there. I closed my eyes in a languorous ecstasy and waited—waited with beating heart. But at that instant, another sensation swept through me as quick as lightning. I was conscious of the presence of Count Dracula, and of his being as if lapped in a storm of fury. As my eyes opened, I saw his strong hand grasp the slender neck of the fair woman and with giant’s power draw it back, the blue eyes transformed with fury, the white teeth champing with rage, and the fair cheeks blazing red with passion. But the Count! Never did I imagine such wrath and fury, even to the demons of the pit. His eyes were positively blazing. The red light in them burned bright, as if the ﬂames of hellﬁre blazed behind them. His face was deathly pale, and the lines of it were hard like drawn wires; the thick eyebrows that met over the nose now seemed like a heaving bar of whitehot metal. With a ﬁerce sweep of his arm, he hurled the woman from him, and then motioned to the others, as though he were beating them back; it was the same commanding gesture that I had seen used to the wolves.

How dare you cast eyes on him when I had forbidden it? Back, I tell you all! This man belongs to me! Beware how you meddle with him, or you’ll have to deal with me.”  \nThe fair girl turned to answer him:—“You yourself never loved; you never love!” Then the  \nCount turned, after looking at my face attentively, and said in a soft whisper:—  \n“Yes, I too can love; you yourselves can tell it from the past. Is it not so? Well, now I promise you that when I am done with him you shall kiss him at your will. Now go! Go! I must awaken him, for there","cbCaipvDuTto26D3","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipvDuTto26D3","pdf",59035,"English","# Extract: Dracula (1897)\n## Opening vision in moonlight\n## Threat and confrontation\n## The bag and the supernatural exit","[{\"question\":\"What chilling event occurs involving the bag mentioned by the women?\",\"answer\":\"One woman opens the bag, and the narrator hears a gasp and a low wail like a half-smothered child before the women disappear with it into the moonlight.\"}]","Dracula - AQA-style Language Paper 1 | PDF"]
