My head and heart are completely confused. I sit here in this cold dark room and all I can think about is Van Helsing and my future unwanted fate of becoming another one of Dracula's brides. I stand from the chair and walk out of my room and start to roam the halls. This place is mostly cold and dark. No that I would expect anything else when I hear the two other brides talking.

"The master says she is different. I don't see how, she doesn't seem that special to me" Leana tells Relina. They look behind them as I duck out of sight.

"The master says that she was someone he knew in his past and that her blood is exceptionally rare after all she wasn't Anna's cousin she was the sister that was hidden away for safe keeping." Relina tells her fellow bride.

"And she has no idea?" Leana asks. "Not a clue, poor girl the master is going to tell her before we turn her tonight." Relina tells her as they start to walk off.

I run through the castle until I find the room that Dracula is in looking at the fire place.

"Anna wasn't my sister was she?" I ask him as I reach his side. He turns from the fire and looks at me.

"No she was not your cousin. She was your sister. You were the child no one knew about except your mother." He tells me as he turns to me.

"Why I don't understand? What was wrong with me?" I ask him confused about this odd situation. I look about the room and cannot steady myself so I decide to run as the brides come forward.

"Should we go after her master?" Relina asks. "No, she will come back believe me she will want to learn more." Dracula tells the bride as they watch her ride off through the window.

I finally stop at the tavern and burst inside to find Carl asleep on a table. "Hey you!" I yell at him.

He jumps up as if I just scared him half to death. "Oh Serenity he released you did he?" Carl asks me.

"Tell me the truth about my past now or else." I tell him as I put my sword to his neck.

"That is a bit complicated, which past is it you want to know about Serenity?" he asks me as he looks down at his reflection in my sword.

"What are you talking about?" I ask him as I sheeth the sword back to my belt.

"It's a rather long story but here it goes, you are older than what you think you are what the order call an "Immortal" meaning pretty much you can't die. If you get injured to the point of almost dying you mind erases everything from that life as if you did die and someone from the order relocates you to another place with a new life and family." Carl tells me as he sits down and takes out a bunch of scrolls. "Unfortunately what Dracula said is somewhat true, you were with him once but not for love you did it to protect another and that other was Van Helsing, You both have records that go way back and somehow you are in the same area for a while then one of your disappears usually it is you." He tells me as he shows me the scrolls.

"So everything I know or somewhat remember is a lie? What was my first life?" I ask him as I look through the scrolls.

"That's the problem we don't really know when you were truly born but there is one test we did that the result came out very interesting. You see we believe why Dracula wants you is because of your blood." He tells me as he pulls out another long scroll. "Look here you are the last direct descendant of-" Carl begins as I look down and the scroll and can not believe the name I see.

"Eve? As in Adam and Eve from the bible?" I ask him very curious now.

"Yes that is the Eve we are talking about. He thinks since you share her blood you could give his offspring life once her turns you into a bride since your last bit of blood would combine with the off springs." He tells me.

"Carl, when Dracula kissed me I closed my eyes then opened them and for a split second I saw Van Helsing not Dracula. Can you explain that?" I ask him.

"There have been report of old memories and feelings returning to immortals but that is the best explanation I can give you. For the full truth or what can be remembered of it you would have to ask Van Helsing himself." He tells me.

I waste no time and walk out the door and into the church and see Van Helsing sitting in on of the pews. I go and sit beside him. "What do you remember about us?" I ask him bluntly. He looks at me a little surprised then goes to put his hat back on.

"I have no idea what you are talking about-" he tries to say as I stand up and block him from leaving.

"Tell me the truth please" I ask him as he looks me in the eyes and I can see sadness in his eyes.

"I can remember us as far back as Ancient Egypt, It wasn't until Dracula's time when we had to be separated in fear one of us would not survive." He tells me. "There were so many night's I dreamed of your face and now here you stand before. Sometimes I still believe it is a dream." He says as his hand touches my cheek. "I never wanted you to go please remember that." He says.

I look at him and know what he is telling me is the truth. I feel like a part of me knows that we have been in love before but that still doesn't explain the while Dracula thing. "What happened in Dracula's time?" I ask him.

"We were married but you caught his eye. He was a prince then and what the prince wanted he got. He threatened you that if you did not go with him that he would kill me. You left with him but after hearing a false rumor of my death you took your own life." He tells me as we sit back down. "I came to the castle and there was your body on display. I swore that I would end his life even if it cost mine." He tells me.

"Carl said that if I came near death my mind would erase the old memories. Is that what happened there?" I asked him with a glimmer of hope in my heart.

"I believe so, your body went missing and I took that as a sign. Didn't stop me from trying to find you though and now here you are." He tells me as he goes to hug me and I allow it.

Something about his touch makes me feel warm and safe. Like nothing in the world could ever harm me. What about Dracula though? Even if I do "die" again he will always be after me. "How do we stop him then? Is there even a way?" I ask him.

"I can not tell you how many times I have tried to kill him. It seems that I am running out of ideas and time." He tells me as he looks back at the alter.

"He's useless without his brides though isn't he?" I ask Van Helsing and he get a "what are you planning" look on his face.
