Vampires in the Mist

            As all six were traveling three different ways most of them seemed to encounter some kind of disturbance by Dracula. Jonathan and Arthur travelling by steamboat come across a thick fog. This fog was denser than most and caused them to see delusions of all kinds. At one point the crew saw their biggest fears in their companions. This almost caused a blood bath to occur if it hadn’t been for the start of sunrise that immediately lifted the fog.

            As it lifted, Jonathan and Arthur were surprised to see several vampires among the mist. They did not realize that vampires came in many different breeds. These vampires did not seem to be dangerous and they called themselves the Cullens. They continued to explain to Jonathan that they had been looking for Dracula for many centuries. After quickly stating this they fled the boat before the ship’s crew could see that their numbers had been added to.

            The journey on horseback by Dr. Seward and Quincey was not much different from Jonathan and Arthur’s. The deeper they went into the woods the more the sun seemed to disappear. Not only that but dark yellow eyes were following them and increasing the deeper they went. Out of nowhere they were attacked by wolves that seemed to be controlled by a master. Fighting their way through the beast they kicked their horses into gear and raced towards the castle where they encounter Mina and Van Helsing.

            A days wait brought the whole team together. They decide the Mina needs to lead the team into the castle, since she had a connection with Dracula. Making their way deep into the castle they find a room only lit by candlelight with Dracula himself sitting at a table. The tension between the friends seemed to terse up as they entered into the room. All along Dracula had been waiting for them. The surprise however was not on their side. Dracula seemed to have more control over Mina and made her turn on her friends. The only one that escaped was Van Helsing, who was dangerously injured. Arthur, Quincey, and Dr. Seward were killed almost immediately by Mina who was controlled by Dracula. Jonathan wasn’t killed, but he might as well have been. He was enslaved by Dracula to work for him as a slave to torture Mina for the rest of Jonathan’s life.

            After ten years of slavery, Jonathan woke up to find a pleasant surprise. The Cullens who he had briefly met years ago, had finally found Dracula from a vision by Alice. She had seen Jonathan unhappy, and began to recognize the countryside. Soon after they traveled and found Jonathan and killed Dracula. They took Mina to show her to be more like them. Still desperately in love with Mina, Jonathan begs them to turn him into a vampire, which they do, and they can finally be joined back together.
