AN: I would like to apologize for the grammar issues. I do realize I should be less careless but English is not my motherly language, Italian is. I do accept all reviews and critique but my goal is for you all to read and enjoy. If I am lucky review also.

Here is the third chapter and I hope you all enjoy. Please review.

He had said nothing to her. He simply looked at her with an almost questioning look.

"Miss Murry I believe it is time we both retire. If you are in need of anything you know where my chambers are located. I bid you fair well." He said with a swift about face.

And then he was gone.

With a confused heart and mind Mina backed up into her room and quietly shut the door. She didn't quiet no what to do with herself now. She thought that her and Grayson's time together would be a little more extended but, after her comment about taking a wife he dismissed himself immediately and left her alone and wide awake. She knew deep down that she should be more fair, after all they didn't even know each other that well; she couldn't help that she was so attracted to him and wanted to take things further. Maybe he wanted to takes things more slow and just wasn't ready she thought to herself.

With much struggle she sighed with relief when she had managed to unlace herself. Sliding the dress down her thighs, she picked it up and swung it over the plush chair and then made quick work of her corset. When she was just down to her pantalets and chemise she walked over to the bed and dimmed the lantern on the night table before walking around to the mini wooden stairs and crawling into the curtain caved bed. She gasped at the formality of the inside before making it all the way to the top and pulling back the covers to crawl under the ice-cold coverlet. Letting out a little content sigh, she relaxed in to the softest bed she has ever lain in and fell asleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~DRACULA~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Stirring awake, Mina did her normal cat like stretch and rubbed the sleep out of her eyes. She was expecting to have the sun shining bright through the room but she was met with darkness. Was it still dusk? She thought to herself. Pushing the covers forward she crawled to the end and peeked her head out of the curtain. When she saw the small glow coming through the French windows, she realized that the curtains covering the bed were just shielding her. Flopping back onto the bed she smiled softly to herself thinking about what it would be like to share a bed with Mr. Grayson. Her thoughts were interrupted by a heavy knock at the door. Sitting up quickly, she scrambled off the bed and rushed over to the door.

"Who is it?" she asked quietly.

"It's Renfield Ma'am. I have come to tell you that breakfast will be ready within the hour." He notified her.

"Thank you, I will be down shortly," she answered back. Walking over to the chair from the previous night, she grabbed her corset and dress and tidied herself up to the best of her ability. Pulling her hair up into a curly bun and pinching her cheeks for a natural blush, Mina was out the door and down the stairs only to be met with Alexander himself. He was waiting at the very bottom of the staircase with a smirk on his face. When she reached him he put his arm out for her to take and with a smile on her face she laced arms with him and allowed him to guide her into the dining room for breakfast. He pulled a chair out for her and she gracefully sat down only to be quickly followed by Alexander.

" I trust you slept well Mina?" Grayson asked.

"Mmmmhh…Very much so." She replied before taking a bight of her potatoes.

"Good." Was all he said as he watched her eat. They fell into a comfortable silence with her eating and him pretending to partake in her morning hunger.

Interrupting the silence, he asked, "Do you know what you plan to do today?"

Swallowing another bite she answered "Well, I was planning on going back home with Lucy but, I just don't know how I feel about being around her with the way she is acting at the moment."

"I see. And does Miss Lucy know of your plans?" he questioned.

"No, I don't think it is any of her business. If she thought it was her place to treat me the way she did last twilight then she is terribly mistaken and therefore has no place of knowing of my whereabouts" she answered leaving no room for argument.

"Is that so?" he asked her with raised eyebrows.

"Yes" she said with a childish pout.

"Well than..." he said. "It seems that we have bit of a predicament. Where will you be staying in Lucy's and yours current hiatus?" he asked

"I um…was not really…thinking that quiet ahead yet." She admitted quietly.

"Where would you like to stay?"

"Well once again…I have never really been alone before and I have no family I can stay with sooo…I guess the only choice I have is to return to Lucy's and I place."

"One again Mina you are more than welcomed to stay here for as long at you like, to hell with society. I have never cared for it much any way." He said with a devilish smirk.

Blushing pink, her smile matched his smirk as their dishes were cleared away.

"Is that an invitation?" she teased.

"I do believe it is."

"Well…" she drawled. "I must admit that you have me at a disadvantage and I am forced to take you up your offer Mr. Grayson."

"Good." Was his reply while squinting his eyes at me; rising from the table, he placed his napkin on the surface.

"You will have to excuse me, for I have business to attend. Everything in my home is at your disposal so, please, do not be shy and do as you wish." He told me generously as he sauntered out of the room, leaving me to myself.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~DRACULA~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Climbing into Alexander's carriage, Mina settled in her seat. She was on her way to her tenet to receive a few things that she needed. Well, if she were honest she would probably take most if not all of her belongings.

Feeling the carriage come to a halt and the door opening, Mina stepped down with the help of Renfield. "Thank you." She said before making her way to the door and climbing up the stairs. Pushing the door open she was met with a sleeping Lucy sprawled across the bed. Signing with relief that she wasn't awake, Mina made quick work with her things. Throwing open her travel chest she grabbed shoes from under the bed, perfume bottles from her nightstand, hat boxes from corners, and dresses from Lucy's trunk that belonged to her. Looking around to make sure she didn't leave anything she headed to the door to tell Renfield she was ready for him when an all to familiar voice stopped her.

"Mina…" she heard her say in a confused voice. Spinning around she was met with a frazzled Lucy.

"What are you doing?" she asked.

"I am leaving." Was all I said not finding the need to explain further?

"What! Why?" Lucy asked in a worried tone while scooting of the bed to stand up.

" I am tired of the way you act." She said.

"The way I act…what way do I act that is not good enough for you?" Lucy asked clearly angry.

"Everything…the way you acted last night with Mr. Grayson, the way you wonder off and leave me drunk when we go out. You know if Mr. Grayson wasn't there last night, I honestly cannot tell you what would have happened to me and it was more than obvious you were no where to be found. So yes Lucy, the way you act is effecting me and I hate it." She said bravely.

"Oh Grayson, Grayson, Grayson! That is all I have heard come out of your mouth since his coming out ball. I bet this new attitude is all because of him to, isn't it?" Lucy shouted.

" Don't talk distastefully of him. He is my friend and has done more for me in one night than you have ever done in our entire friendship." She fought back.

"Well than it is clear of your feelings towards me. What of Jonathan, are you just going to forget about him too?" Lucy asked.

" Hahahahahah…. oh Lucy, if you would get you immature drunken head out of the clouds and think about someone other than yourself, you would have remembered me informing you that dear Jonathan doesn't actually agree with my career choice…and neither do you. So pray tell what need I have of either of you in my life?" she continued on boldly. Lucy was getting ready to answer when there was a light knock at the door. Jarring around she was met with Mr. Renfield.

"Miss Murry, are you in need of my assistance?" he asked in his deep voice. Clearing her throat and tugging on the velvet blue blazer she wore she answered, "Yes, my things are ready to be taken down. Thank you."

He stepped further into the room and easily picked up the cargo and headed down stairs. Mina was getting ready to follow when Lucy stopped her once again. Where will you be staying, you have no other to care for you?"

'With her back to her once good friend all she had to say was "Mr. Grayson encourages my medicine. So for the time being I will be staying with him." And with that she was down the stairs. She came outside just in time to see Renfield strap the last of her things to the carriage and hurry down to get the door for her.

"Once again thank you so much Mr. Renfield." She thanked graciously.

"My pleasure Miss Murry." He replied.

Getting ready to climb in the carriage Mina was once again stopped by an all to familiar voice.

"Mina" a mans voice said behind her. Turning around quickly, she was met with none other than Jonathan Harker. The object of her non-desire, she really wasn't prepared to have it out with him at the moment. She had just finished having it out with Lucy.

"Mr. Harker" she replied dryly.

"Mr. Harker" he said mockingly. "Since when are we so formal as Mr. Harker?" he sneered at me.

"Since I see fit. I believe that our relationship is over so formality must be gained once again." She hotly replied.

"Just like that, as if a thief in the night! You are willing to forget about our engagement and past together." He said in a bitter tone.

"Yes, just as easy as it was for you to forget the importance of medicine once we were to be wed."

"Mina…please I didn't mean it" he said stepping closer to her. "I was just talking to the men, and I just wanted to impress them. Other than that I have always supported you" he pleaded.

"Are you serious Jonathan, do you honestly believe that telling me that you chose your friends opinion over my pride and medicine would make things better, if so than you are a lesser man then I ever thought?" Mina said turning to get into the carriage.

"Mina, come on you know me better than that." He said grabbing her upper arm.

"Let go of me." She sneered trying to pull her arm free.

"No, you need to listen to what I have to say."

"I owe you no such thing," she said with another attempt of pulling her arm free. "Unhand me."

"Mina stop this you are making a unnecessary scene," he grunted. Mina immediately stopped her struggling when noticed Renfield come up behind Jonathan.

"I believe Miss Murray has asked you to unhand her." Renfield said in a deep threatening voice while placing a hand on Jonathans shoulder. Jonathan bravely looked over his shoulder and decided to try and explain himself "I am just trying to talk to her." He explained. Renfield's grip tightened and Jonathans hold dropped from Minas arm completely. "And that was just a warning" Renfield warned. Jonathan stepped back and let Mina get into the carriage. "We still need to talk Mina." Jonathan tried when the big black man shut the door.

"Miss Murry will call on you in her own good time Mr. Harker. Until then I strongly suggest you respect her wishes and stray afar, for I would hate to have to bring this to Mr. Grayson's knowledge if you chose to be uncooperative. Is that clear?" he asked quietly. Jonathan nodded his head slowly.

"Enjoy the rest of your day Mr. Harker." He said with a tilt of his hat.

~~~~~~~~~~~~DRACULA~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

" I think Mr. Harker is going to be a problem." Renfield informed his employer.

Alexander turned in his and set the paper he was reading down.

"Pray tell…why?" he asked leaning forward.

"When Miss Murray and I were ready to depart her errand Mr. Harker showed and tried to explain himself to her. When she told him of her decision not to continue their previous engagement and insisted he refer to her as Miss Murray, Mr. Harker became…physical…" Renfield struggled. Hoping to not meet a wrath.

"Physical." Alexander repeated with a raised brow. Renfield nodded.

Renfield watched as Mr. Grayson reached into his breast pocket and pulled his pocket watch out and the quickly rose.

" Fetch my coast Renfield, for dusk falls near."
