Two New Vampires

            Dracula will arrive at his castle within a day so he’ll have plenty of time to get ready for those who are following him. All of his followers (who are set out to destroy him) reach the castle at the same time. Dracula, meanwhile, is watching through Mina’s eyes as the men plot on how to proceed. As they approach the castle, the smell of rotting flesh reaches them. Mina, the first to see the rotting corpses of the gypsies, lets out a scream resembling a wild animal. Jonathan tries to persuade her to stay back and let the men handle this, but she ignores him. They reach the front door and see that it’s open. One by one they enter through the door. Van Helsing (after learning through Mina that Dracula’s coffin is in the basement) sends Mina and Jonathan to destroy the coffin, while the others split up in search for Dracula. As they reach the basement, Mina starts to change. She falls to the floor with a blood-curdling scream. Jonathan jumps to her side at the same time Dracula appears out of the shadows. Jonathan reaches for his host to ward of Dracula at the same time a giant blinding blue/white tornado of light appeared and two strangely dressed people emerged. “Cairo, this is your final warning. Come back with us as you can live. But if you don’t, then we will stop you,” said a strange blond and pretty man. “Never!! You shall all die!” shouted Dracula and he lunged toward the younger man with brown hair. All the while, Mina still lay screeching on the ground. “It’s okay sweetie, everything will be all right,” cooed Jonathan. A sharp sound turned Jonathan’s head toward the strangers. He saw Dracula’s head hit the floor as the others tore apart the rest of his body. The blond man came to Jonathan’s side while the other one started a fire and burned what was left of Dracula. “She’s changing. There’s nothing more we can do for her. But if you do not want to lose her, then you can join her.” The blond man held Mina’s hand. “It won’t be long now.” Jonathan knew there was only one answer. “I can’t lose her. Do whatever shall be done, but don’t let me lose her.” The younger man can over by his friend. “It is done Carlisle. We don’t have long until the portal reopens.” “Thank you Edward,” said Carlisle. Turning to Jonathan he held out his hand. “Give me your hand.” Jonathan did as he asked. Carlisle bit his hand, and Jonathan fell to the floor screaming next to his now silent wife. Then everything turned back into a white/blue whirlwind of air and then everything went black.

“Jonathan, wake up,” Mina said. “Come on, we must leave soon.” Jonathan opened his eyes. “Where are the others?” “Dead, they were killed by Dracula’s wives.” “Where are the wives now?” “Dead. I destroyed them.” Mina became to explain everything to Jonathan as they walked out into the sparkling sunshine, the dawn of a new day and life.
