I went back to Dracula's castle and found him waiting in the ballroom with his brides at his side. "You have come back to us my love?" he asks as one of the brides bring forward my dress.

I walk over and take the dress from them. "Come my love I must inform you of what you expect when the time comes" he tells me as he puts his arm around my waist and take me into another room.

"You went out looking for answers, did you find them my dear?" he asks as he turns to me.

"I did, and I know why you need my blood so badly." I tell him backing away from him.

"Do tell me Serenity why do I need your blood? I could have had your blood at any moment." He tells me as he stands up and starts to walk closer to me.

"You thought I wouldn't remember? Even before you were a vampire you wanted me. Making me leave my husband for you or else you would have killed him." I yell at him in protest. No matter what he tries to do to me I know what Van Helsing told me.

"Oh my dear you have it all wrong. He was the one who stole you from me. Let me refresh your memory. When I first met you well you were nothing but a peasent girl about to be killed because you stole food so your family could eat. I was there to pass judgment on you but when I saw you I knew your cause was just and did not true harm to the accuser. I therefore told you that your punishment would be to serve me for the rest of your time. Do you not remember?" he asks me as he finally reaches me and puts his hand on my face. "Then when war happened one of my trusting friends fell in love with you, that was Gabriel. He told you that I was a monster. The castle was stormed and you were injured very badly so Gabriel took that as his chance to take you away and hide from me." He tells me.

"Why would he do such a thing if he was your friend?" I ask him as he caresses my neck with his finger.

"He was jealous of our love, I could not truly be with you because of your class Gabriel knew that and he tried to win you, though to his surprise you never turned your attention from me." He tells me lovingly.

"What happened after you found out that I was gone?" I ask looking him deep in the eyes.

"We searched all over the land but he hid you well with him. It took me three years to find you and when I did I saw he had claimed you as his own. You kept telling me you were his wife and that I had no right to you but you were mine first!" he tells me as his voice raises.

"If I could not be with you because of my class why not just let me stay with him so you could marry another?" I ask him as we back up against a wall.

"I loved you first, you were the one bright light in my world of darkness and pain. Do you not see I would do anything to be with you. You are human and can not live forever but I can change that." He tells me as he holds me close to him. "I will prove that to you tonight." He tells me.

"If you love me so prove it to me in the way I see fit." I tell his as I put his face in my hands.

"You have intrigued me my dear. What is it you wish of me?" he ask as he kisses my neck.

"Make me your only bride, that way our love cannot be interrupted ever again." I tell him as I kiss the cold flesh of his neck.

"You mean kill my other brides? Only have one bride for my children?" he asks then grabs me and kisses me with as much passion as he can. "Consider it done my love." He tells me as he walks out of my room determined.

I put my hand on my lips. Is what he just told me true or was what Van Helsing told me the truth? How do I know which one to believe. I look into the mirror hanging in my room. Do I even know the girl looking back at me or have I just become a pawn in a game of war?

I turn away from the mirror and put on my new and possibly last dress. I feel so much confusion going through my head. I do have feelings both for Van Helsing and for Dracula but when I ask my heart for answers even it says "I have no clue."

The dress is long and flowing and fits me perfect. Apparently he knows my measurements a little too well. I look outside and through the beautiful moonlight I see that it is starting to snow. I smile a little but still worry about the decision I have to make.

I walk out of my room in my long dress and walks the halls when I hear Dracula in another room with his other two brides. I walk over to get a better listen.

"Come to me my brides I have something for you." He tells them as they willingly come forward to him. "This is to prove my love so do not take offense to it." He tells them as bites on of the brides sucking the last remaining blood from her and her body falls to the ground.

The other bride struggles trying to break free. "Master no please I love you I don't want to leave you!" she begs him but he shows no emotion at all as he bites into her and takes the last of her blood and she falls to the ground. "I only love Serenity." He tells the bodies.

I quickly run from the door to the end of the hall when I hear the doors open.

He really did it. Dracula killed his brides to prove his love to me. Oh no what do I do now? Do I go through with becoming what he is. Can I even become a vampire since I am already immortal? Could my blood somehow kill him?

I stop when I hear him call out to me. I look back and see Dracula standing before me as he wipes the blood from his mouth. "It is done my love, they will no longer us and after tonight we can live and love together forever. Our children will show the earth that we are here and not afraid anymore." He tells me.

Did he really have to say that last part? I mean come on take a nice kind of romantic moment and he completely ruins it with that last part.

He takes me in his arms and pins me up against the cold stone wall.

"Not much longer my love, in front of all of my brothers and sisters your body and soul will become mine and mine alone." He tells me as he leans in and kisses me.

I feel that feeling again. The I can no longer control what my body does feeling again as we enter my room.

I wake up and look out the window, the moon is up high now and the process will be beginning soon. He will be coming in to get me and make me his. I get a sudden cold chill and look down and notice the only thing I have on is the sheet from my bed. Oh no, I look to the other side of me and there Dracula is sleeping. I really want to scream. I don't remember anything after kissing him my mind just went blank as if I really did go to sleep. I try to locate my dress then I see it across the room with his clothes.

I slowly wrap the sheet around me as he lays still under the quilt. I then stand up as he wakes up and looks at me.

"I knew you would remember me after some time." He says as he sits up. I quickly run to my dress and put it on as fast as I can.

"Nothing to hide from me now my love, I saw everything in the moonlight." He says with a sort of evil grin on his face.

"Shouldn't you be getting things ready?" I ask him.

"You are right, for our wedding I must make sure the arrangements are going well." He says as he stands up and I shield my eyes and throw him his clothes.

"Is something the matter my love?" he asks me.

I lower my hands but make sure that my eyes go no further than his chest. "No just a little dizzy that is all." I tell him and he smiles as he gets dressed and comes up to me.

"Tonight we shall enter into our new life together, forever" he says as he kisses me and walks out the door.

What I just did with Dracula was definitely not something on my bucket list but if it were I am pretty sure I can cross it off now. I sit down in the chair with my hands in my palms. I feel like I cheated on Van Helsing. How could I have though? I am sure there were other women besides me... right? "Ugh" I yell in despair.
