Epilogue

Thirteen Years Later

I knew my memories would never fully return to me no matter how bad I wanted them to. Now it was just me and Gabriel.

Every now and then we would remember something and the boxes we stole from the order just had a file and some clothing but no serum with memories in it.

As I remember what Dracula did showing me my memories I still wonder why? He knew I was in love with Gabriel so why risk me killing him?

I walked through the town on a cold dark night, this time alone. Gabriel went back to the order and they would give us things to as they said "Look out for". Rome was an odd place since I had once lived here in a previous life.

The only thing I got out of the box labeled "ROME" was a dress and a bracelet. I keep walking to clear my head when I hear foot steps behind me.

I dart into an alley to try and hide from whatever is coming my way and after a few moment I hear it pass. I slowly walk forward and look to the corner and see no one.

Then I feel someone grab my face and pull me forward and I see a cloaked figure. The figure pulls me and kisses me. I know this kiss, I know this scent. I pull down the hood and see Dracula standing before me.

"Serenity, you look surprised to see me." He says with an evil grin.

"Thirteen years? That was all it took you really?" I ask him sarcastically.

"Missed me? Does your body still long for my touch?" he asks me as he circle me.

"When are you ever going to give that up? I don't long for your touch." I tell him as I watch him.

"Then why have you not tried to kill me yet?" he asks as he stops in front of me.

"I still wonder why?" I ask him.

"Why what?" he asks.

"Why did you show me what they did to me? You knew I would remain loyal to Gabriel didn't you?" I ask him.

"Each lifetime is different my dear. I will always remember ours after all Adela will be joining us very soon." He tells me with a laugh.

"How? She died giving birth? That would take a miracle." I says as I back away.

"To put things simple, you are being punished as well, through your bloodline remember the big mistake your ancestor made?" he asks as he grabs my arm.

"The same blood that made the decision to bite that apple runs through your veins. You mind will allow you to remember with so much influence then your imagination fills in the blank spaces." He says as he pulls me close to him.

"I believe you will like your new role" he says moving his hands over the spot on my neck where he was supposed to have bit me.

He turns me around and we are face to face.

"I don't care how many years or lifetimes it takes you will be mine." He hisses at me.

"Here we go again..." I tell myself as I look into his icy blue eyes.
