A/N- So I have a habit of writing how I think or how I would have liked a certain tv series to go. This is my version of Dracula, you know the one with Katie McGrath? I actually enjoyed it but here's my version anyway.

Mina's POV.

Reviews are appreciated.

Hope you enjoy.

MINA'S STORY

Dracula has returned after all these years but there is only one person who has made his decision to stay all the more easy. Her name is Mina Harker and this is her story...

Chapter One: Arrival

The wind was howling on that particular night. No one knew what had pulled into the docks on the angry waves and no one would until it was too late to warn them.

I lay in my bed on that same night with thoughts of Johnathan swirling in my brain.

He made me so happy. I just wished that after all of our time together, he would ask me to marry him.

I knew he was the one for me and he had told me he loved me. He did not approve of my medical education but apart from that, he was good to me. Maybe a little forceful but if men were not inclined to be this way then would we find them so attractive?

I tossed and turned almost as though I knew something was coming and I couldn't rest. It was only until I saw the first rays of the sun that I feel asleep and only awoke when someone knocked rather loudly on my door.

I climbed out of bed and went down the stairs to answer it. The sun spilled in, making me blink and shy away from it like some kind monster who is afraid of the sun.

"Good morning, Mina. I thought you would be awake by now at least." Came the upper class voice of my best friend Lucy Westenra.

I gave her a small smile and shut the door, banishing the sun back to the outside world.

"I am afraid that I did not sleep so well. Only til this morning."

Lucy pouted.

"Oh poor you. It must be all those cadavers that you have to slice open assaulting your mind."

I wrinkled my nose in disgust.

"Do not be so callous, Lucy. Anyway, it's not that that bothers me during sleep."

She continued walking to the drawing room.

"Oh? Then what is it?"

Lucy always looked as though nothing bothered her. She had her head held high and her eyes trained on you when you spoke. She knew everything about everyone and she was extremely rich. She was secure in that respect but sometimes I would like to see her settle down with a family and be happy. God knows she deserved it.

I shrugged in answer to her question.

"I do not know exactly. I usually sleep very well."

A knowing smirk spread across Lucy's red lips.

"I know. You snore too."

I let out an embarrassed laugh and slapped her lightly on the arm.

"I do not!"

"You do too!" She laughed back.

We reached the drawing room and she took off her hat, resting it on her lap as she sat down. The tea had already been made as it was every morning, and I watched as Lucy poured it out into two cups.

"There is a ball tonight and I had hoped you would come." She began as she stirred her tea.

I nodded, looking down into my own cup.

"Of course. I could invite Johnathan if that's all right?" I ventured carefully.

Her lips pursed and she forced a smile.

"Of course. He is your...I'm sorry, what do they call it when you have been together for years but the man has not had the guts to ask for your hand?"

That was spiteful but I knew what she meant.

"Lucy, Johnathan loves me and besides, I have my studies."

She did not agree but neither did she disagree.

"So can I invite him?" I pushed.

Lucy rolled her green eyes.

"I suppose so."

I hugged her then.

I knew that Lucy did not approve of Johnathan. Really, I think she just didn't like the amount of time we spent together.

Before Johnathan and I became serious, Lucy and I were always together and Johnathan was just someone we played with sometimes when we were children. I loved Lucy like a sister and I knew she felt the same by how protective she was of me.

She pulled back and looked at me.

"Do you have a new dress for tonight?" She asked.

I shook my head.

I had spent most of my time in the mortuary lately, my studies were important to me and I had explained this to Johnathan. He said he did not understand how a woman like me could spend so much time in such a dark place but Lucy understood how important this was to me. She always understood.

"Well then, we shall go out and buy you one."

"Lucy I cannot take your money." I told her with a slight frown.

"Why ever not?! I have plenty of it!" She laughed and I could not help but laugh with her.

The shops were not as crowded as I expected.

Lucy knew all the shop assistants and they all knew her. Her family was practically famous in London and she took full advantage of that fact.

I tried on a few different dresses. One was pink which looked as though it would suit Lucy more than it would me, the next was a dark purple and the last one that I really liked was beautiful pale blue.

I stepped out to show Lucy and she stared at me.

"Do you like it?" I asked, giving a little twirl.

She nodded and smiled brilliantly at me.

"It's beautiful. Johnathan is a lucky man indeed." She added.

I spun again.

Johnathan would love it. Blue was his favorite color after all.

Lucy paid for it and then we went back to my home. We ate and talked for hours until it was finally time for the ball and we helped each other get ready. Whereas I was in blue, Lucy was in red and she looked wonderful with her blonde hair piled on top of her head. She would be on Johnathan's left arm and I would be on his right but everybody knew that Johnathan and I were a couple and that with Lucy as my best friend, she would be attending with us.

A/N- I realize how short these chapters are at the moment, so I have uploaded another two for you tonight, enjoy! xx
