Ch 9:
Meanwhile as they leave the lagoon Jenna is inside talking to Tula. "Tula, what's wrong?" "Oh, I'm sorry, Jenna, I guess I'm not used to well, you know, Ren wanting to take care of me. He's so different from the men I have known." She then pats on the mattress, gesturing Jenna to sit down. After Jenna sits down, she puts her arm around Tula's shoulders, and says, "He'll be back soon. Anyway, you're still weak." "I know. I just don't like, you know." She then smiles and gets off the bed. At first, she doesn't say anything, then turns to Jenna and says, "I appreciate your coming in here, and keeping me company. It made me feel better, but right now I just want to to be alone. There is a lot I have to think about." She then walks over to the window. She leans out to the window, allowing the breeze to blow through her hair.
As Tula is looking out the window, Ren is looking towards the lighthouse. When he sees her, he smiles. He then waves to her. When Tula sees him, she smiles and waves back. Tula then watches the Wraith leave the harbor. Meanwhile as Tula watches Ren leave the lagoon, a mysterious stranger is also watching the Wraith. But he is watching his crystal ball. He waves his hand around the crystal ball, commanding it so he can see the woman leaning out the window. As he watches, Tula begins to sense his presence. When the mysterious stranger sees this he smiles. He then begins to speak to her, as if she can hear him. As he does so, Tula begins to hear a voice. A male voice. She tries to ignore it, but it gets louder. "I know you can hear me, my dear Tula. That is your name, isn't it? My name is Dimitri, and soon you and I will meet. Please don't try to fight, it's not worth it. I now cast upon you this sleeping spell." He then begins to chant, "Shadow of darkness that controls the night, sprinkle your dust of sleep, upon this girl." Soon Tula's eyes begin to flutter, and as if by slow motion falls to the floor.
Suddenly, Jenna hears a large thump, around the same time as Tula falls to the floor. When Jenna reaches the room she sees Tula lying on the floor. She rushes to her side, but as she does Dimitri is already summing in one of his creatures to retrieve her.
However, as Jenna tries to awaken a sleeping Tula, Dimitri is walking down the hall, until he reaches a fenced - in area. And in this fence, Dimitri owns his pride and joy Gargoyles! He then calls over one of his gargoyles. "Aramis, come here." He then summons his assistant, Darius, his wolfman. When Darius comes into the room, he bows before his master. "Yes, master?" "Darius, I think I have found a way for us to open the door to our world. Soon creatures from our time we'll come into this world. Once this is done, I will become ruler of this world!" He then puts his hands on Darius's shoulder. "I have even found the key to opening the doorway to our world. This woman I have found I believe has the gift to open our doorway, and once we do this I will become ruler and she will become my queen!" He then smiles at the outside world. "This place reminds me of Transylvania. You remember Transylvania, don't you, Darius?" "Yes, master, I do." "I think even Lord Dracula would be proud of me!" "Master, not to be mean, but where is this girl? You seek?" Dimitri then smiles. "You're right. I want you to take Aramis and fetch this woman. Take my crystal, I have another in my quarters. When you reach your destination, contact me through the crystal. I will then put the woman as well as the doctor under a spell, so you can take the woman without any distraction." Darius then gets on Aramis. He then turns to his master and says, "Your wish is my command." He then turns and leaves the castle.
Meanwhile, as Dimitri watches Darius leave the castle, he smiles to himself and says quietly, "This place is perfect! Soon I will be master of this world and nothing is going to stop me, not even that fool vampire hunter can stop me this time!" He then watches Darius fly away, knowing soon that Tula would be in his clutches. He leaves the room and goes back to his quarters so he can keep in touch with Darius.
