I look out the window I just kicked him through and see nothing. I turn back to see my mom now in the crazy woman's grasp.

"That was a big mistake you did child." Adela says.

"Let her go, you have no need for her." Van Helsing says walking closer to her.

"You better make a better deal then!" she yells.

"Me! I'm better then her! I am half immortal and half angel!" I yell out as my Van Helsing snaps back at me.

"No, I wont let you take her!" my mom yells out as Adela thinks the offer over.

We stay silent as we hear someone come into the room, I look and see Dracula un harmed.

"We have had a new proposition darling, instead of Serenity we could get the girl there half angel and half immortal." Adela tells him.

"Younger and pure as well, very tempting.'' he says as he walks closer to me.

"She is not what you want Dracula. She has no experience with you." My mother pleads.

"Then we shall teach her." he says with a smile his hand caressing my face.

"Release Serenity, this girl here is what we need." Dracula says taking my hand and making me follow him.

"Trinity? No she's our only daughter!" my mother yells out as my dad grabs her.

"Leave, If not I fear our arrangement will dissolve and that wont be a site you want the girl to see." he says turning me around to face my parents.

Carl grabs Van Helsing's arm as he picks up my mother and they have no choice but to re treat out of the castle.

I look down at the floor knowing I might not ever see them again.

"What shall we do with her?" Adela asks.

"I am sure we can think of something." he says as he moves his arm and the woman disappears.

"She wasn't real?" I ask him confused.

"At one time she was but that was a very long time ago." he says weakly.

He removes his hand from me and goes to the cylinder. he looks down at it remorsefully.

"Years I have chased after her. Serenity was all that I wanted." he says.

I look around, for some reason no guards no protection for him he just looks at the glass and water.

"You are too young to know about true love Trinity." he tells me as I slowly approach him.

"You are going to hurt me?" I ask him.

"No, why would I harm you?" he asks me.

"I did kick you out of a window." I tell him shrugging my shoulders.

"You were protecting your father, I only long for someone to protect me as you do him." he says picking up a piece of glass.

"Isn't that what your brides are for?" I ask him backing up away from him.

"No, they are just for other activities." he says throwing the glass down. "They grow to bore me."

"Wouldn't know how to help you there." I tell him.

"Come, I will show you to your room." he says as the door opens by itself.

I follow him as he sulks down the hall.

"What is the matter with you? I mean I have heard about Count Dracula and your more like lame Dracula." I tell him.

"Well, I have been through a lot tonight. It seems you forget I am much older than you." he says with a laugh.

"Yeah, my mother said how alluring you were, I don't see it. You just look like a regular guy nothing really special."

That stops him mid step. He turns around and give me an odd look.

"You think I am not charming or handsome?" he asks me.

"Well I guess your alright I mean I have seen better looking people." I tell him.

He then pins me up against a wall and I start to feel what my mother told me. My body I begin to loose control of it.

"Does this change your mind Trinity?" he asks me staring into my eyes.

"Not really. Anyone can pin someone to a wall." I tell him then switch the tables and pin him to the wall. "See?"

Without my knowledge on of his hands is freed as he grabs my face and plants a kiss on my lips. A part of me tries to fight it but the stronger part gives in and kisses him back. I feel his eyes open and look at me in shock. I break away from our kiss and push myself away from him.

"You... what did you just do..." he asks me.

"Usually the actions is pretty self explaining." I tell him.

"You do not fear me?" he asks me.

"I'm petrified." I tell him as he snaps his fingers and the pair of doors behind him open.

"I am not going to bed with you, that pushes well beyond my limits there pal!" I yell at him.

"No Trinity, this is your room." he tells me as he steps aside.

I walk into the room and turn to see him standing in the doorway.

"Be comfortable you could be here a while. I must attend to other things." he says shutting the door.

What in the hell am I doing? I just kissed a really, really old guy! The things I do to save my family. If what Carl told me is true though then the order is probably putting them to sleep now. Will I survive it here? I mean that guy is just really creepy. At least I don't have to worry about lustful stuff he has three whores for that.

I look around the room and see a simple green dress on the bed. I put on the dress and look into the floor length mirror. I release my auburn hair from the pony tail it was in. My wavy hair flows down to my shoulders. It seems that when my hair is down I look less like my mother so I decide to keep it that way.

I walk out the door and follow the hallway down to a giant gold door. I open it and see a golden ballroom with mirrors on the walls. This is my true taste of freedom. I may as well try to enjoy this place until my parents come for me. I look around the room and see no one is there. I then start to pretend as if I am dancing with a partner.

Dracula POV

I walk through the halls as one of the small servant girls come up to me.

"Master, Master!" she calls to me.

I stop and look down at here.

"What is it Serina?" I ask her.

"The pretty lady! She's in the ball room and she's dancing!" the girl exclaims.

"Who is she dancing with?" I ask concerned someone has broken in.

"No one, she is all alone but dancing as if she was with someone! Come look!" she commands and I follow her barely opening the doors.

There Trinity stands doing as the child says dancing with an invisible partner.

"Why don't you dance with her?" the child asks me.

I slowly walk inside and notice she is dancing with her eyes closed. At my opportune moment I take the invisible partners place and start to dance with her.

She opens her eyes somewhat surprised. Yet we continue to dance.

"You are a fine dancer" I tell her as I spin her with ease.

"Thank you Count, my mother taught me when I was but a child. You are a fine dancer as well." she tells me as she spins back into my arms.

"You are truly a rare woman Trinity." I tell her looking into her hazel eyes.

"You mean because of my blood? I know you can not bite me for it would kill you. Therefore you are not a true threat to me." she tells me as I pull her body close to mine.

"True, your blood is like your mother's and you have angelic abilities like your father. Do you ever follow what is in here though?" I ask her putting my finger on her left breast above her heart.

"The heart can plays tricks, One moment you are mortal enemies the next..." she says.

"Something else." I tell her as I place some of her auburn hair behind her ear. "I will not harm you child."

"It's not you that I worry about." she tells me pointing behind me.

I turn and see the three brides standing in the corner. "They will not touch you either or else there will be severe punishment to whoever does." I tell her. "It's getting late child you should get some sleep."

"Your right, thank you for the dance" she tells me as she pulls away from me. "Goodnight."

She turns on her heel and walks away with her arms behind her back.

The next morning I awoke and quickly got dressed. I wanted to explore the vast castle and the ground around it. I did worry about my parents but I knew together they made an incredible team. it was as if they were meant to be together.

For once in my life I was going to try and live in the moment. I walked through the halls and into the corridor that lead to the garden. I was expecting the garden to be dead and having withering plants all in it. I was surprisingly wrong. The plants were alive and very beautiful. I went over and smelled a red rose. I loved the smell of roses. It made me become a bit more peaceful.

When I agree with my father to go on this mission a part of me wanted to stay behind. To learn more about the man behind the myth of Dracula. Mother told me he was very oh what was the word charismatic. I could agree with that. He defiantly knew how to use words to his advantage. There was a part of him though I felt my parents didn't know and that was the side I wanted to find.

I laid down on the green grass and just looked up to the sky. I watched the clouds and slowly drifted to sleep.

Hour later I awoke to see someone looking down at me.

"Enjoy your sleep?" the voice asks me.

"I take it I slept too long?" I ask as I move my head and see the voice is Dracula.

"Your quite literally slept the day away." he tells me offering me his hand.

I take his hand and stand up but stumble just a little bit into his arms.

"Sorry, I guess I woke up before my leg." I tell him with a nervous laugh.

"Yes well, come lets get inside it seems there is a storm coming." he tells me.

I look up and see the dark clouds as I hear thunder roar a light rain falls down upon us. I look up for a moment and realize his eyes are a beautiful blue color. I feel him pull me closer he then bends down and his lips touch mine. The rain gently showers our forbidden kiss.
