Authoress's notes: yep, yet another song of a Bride of Dracula. This time it's Verona's PoV, for sure. And I was actually at school when this hit me. Pity the muse stopped in the middle. Heh.
Disclaimer: I don't own Van Helsing (even though he's only mentioned here indirectly) or Dracula (likewise) or Verona. That belongs to Universal Pictures and Stephen Sommers. Lucky them...
Rating: PGish.
Spoilers: none, unless you count the mention of Dracula having three brides... -shrugs-
Death is not for me
And yet, neither is life.
You already have two more;
But I was your first wife.
Our children are born dead;
I think it's only fair.
To try another birthing –
I hardly even dare.
For we are the Undead,
Hideous bat-like creatures
With grey skin and wings –
Such distorted features.
Once I was a mortal,
Now I'm everlasting.
And yet I am condemned:
To drinking blood – or fasting.
You still are beautiful;
Age has not yet touched you.
But still you bear the hatred,
For him – the one who killed you.
The Left Hand of God...
That is what you say.
I do not speak of it,
Lest you slip away.
