Serenity Graves was sitting next to a man she had never met before. He was tall with long black hair, and very muscular. He was dressed in warrior garbs from the days of the crusades. When Serenity tried to talk to him he wouldn't answer her, and what was strange was that she could not hear herself talking. All around her was glowing in the soft light of the moon, and in the distance the form of a castle could be seen.
Looking up at the man Serenity could not clearly see his face; however she could see his glowing red eyes clearly. He always had red eyes, and he never looked at her once. Serenity sat down on the cool ground and started to think. She knew she was in a dream, but what bothered her was why she was having it. A year had passed since the hunters' last battle with Chaos and Lucifer, and once or twice a month she would have this dream.
Everything about the dream stayed the same. The mysterious man with red eyes, the cool night lit with moonlight, the faint image of a castle in the distance, and Serenity's inability to talk or interact with the man. In her cold heart she knew this had to be some kind of warning, but neither she nor any of the other hunters could figure out what it meant.
Suddenly something about the dream changed. Serenity could hear the man standing beside her begin to laugh. The sudden change made Serenity jump, and her eyes shot up to the man. As she suspected the man was a vampire for she could see his fangs as he laughed. Something was equally as strange as the difference in her dream. The way he laughed reminded her of Lord Dracula, but that was impossible. This man couldn't possibly be Dracula. She had seen him when he was still human, and he never dressed like this creature before her.
Rising slowly to her feet Serenity spoke, "What is this?"
Jumping again at her own voice she decided that it was time to wake up, but she could never wake herself up when she wanted to, and this time was no exception. Serenity noticed the brightening of the ground, and looked up to the sky. The moon had turned blood red, and the sky was becoming equally crimson.
"The time has come." the man stated quietly after his laughter had died down.
Serenity looked at him in question, but he said no more. She could feel herself being pulled down, and when she looked she saw that the ground had turned into a river of blood. Serenity tried to pull herself up, but she could not even jump out of the blood much less pull herself free. The man was standing on the blood unfazed, as if the solid ground was still beneath him. He turned his face towards her, but still she could not see his face. He walked over to her calmly, and offered her his hand.
Before she could reach it another hand reached out from behind her, and took a hold of it. With great speed she reached out her other hand, but the same thing happened. Turning her head she was shocked into a short scream when she saw what was holding her. Holding her right hand was Lord Dracula, and holding her left was Lucifer. Dracula was crying bloody tears, and Lucifer was smiling at her.
"Don't go to him." Dracula said.
"I won't let him have you." Lucifer stated.
"He'll hurt you like everyone else." Dracula continued.
Lucifer grabbed her with his other hand and yelled, "You are mine!"
