Hi readers!!

Okay, I wanted to say something about a review I got. I know my grammar isn't the most perfect thing in the world, but as I said on many occasions, I am still learning and I am learning by myself. English is not my language and I am doing my best. This version of this fic is much better than my first attempt. I know I'm not always good in English, and when I am tired, I am even worst. Hope you understand.

As for details between Anne and the police, I thought it best not to write the interrogation. It would have only made Anne repeat exactly what happened. Finding the corps and scream, with a few; yes sir, no sir. I found that really boring so I chose not to write that. BUT, in this chapter, you will find a few more twists than in my original version.

Hope this chapter will be more…satisfying.

Enjoy,

Kaya

Chapter 10

Mistakes

The Brides were on their usual rooftop, when Dracula came out of Anne's apartment. When he arrived close to them, he was obviously upset and did nothing to get their attention, so they took matter in hands. The Brides folded their arms around their master, their hands roaming all over him in a vain attempt to seduce him.

-"Not tonight girls." He said flatly. "I'm not in the mood."

Amber and Kathleen groaned, pouted and stepped back, but Tina persisted.

-"Forget about the girl, my Lord." She moaned arrogantly. "We are here for you and we know how to pleasure you."

Dracula turned to face the vampiresse with a smirk crossing his perfect lips and Tina naively thought he would reward her for opening his eyes. But as he had earlier at Mina's Bar, his hand gripped at her throat. Unfortunately for her, there was no wall nearby and instead of pushing her against one, Dracula threw her over the low railing and she landed with a loud thud on the street, almost ten storeys below.

Before Tina could even stand, Dracula and the two other Brides were surrounding her, giving her no chance to escape. The Dark Lord's eyes turned to red and fear rose inside the platinum-blond lying on the damp asphalt. She was frightened in a way she never thought possible.

-"Amber, Kathleen?" Dracula called, gazing down at Tina

-"Yes master?" They answered in one voice

-"From now on, you two will be my only Brides." He declared, his killing eyes diggings holes into the cowering woman before him. "I want you to get rid of her. I don't need her service anymore. Have fun!"

Tina grew paler, if it was possible for a vampire, as the two other women literally jumped on her, fangs showing with obvious lust. They bit down before Tina could blink. Amber and Kathleen made sure she felt lots of pain. It would probably make their master very proud.

Father David had been called by one of his contact in the local police, concerning a crime scene that aroused far too many questions to be comfortable for an ordinary inspector. Scotland Yard was already on the case after only a few hours. This was big.

The priest arrived at Mina's bar around six in the morning. His friend was there, so he had no problem to enter the crime scene.

The stench of blood still filled the air, even if the corps had been removed by the coroner and his crew. Father David was taken to another room, where the security guards were usually watching what the cameras around the establishment had caught. Of course, there were no actual recordings of the murderers. Vampires were too careful. Yes, he felt it was some creatures of the night that killed those men.

As he watched the images on fast forward, Father David made Stephen, his friend, to stop. He thought he recognized someone, lost in the crowd of intoxicated people. It was one of the waitresses.

-"Do you have the names of the employees who were working last night?" The priest asked with a frown, studying the screen before him

Stephen nodded, looked into his papers, retrieved the list and handed it to Father David. Red crosses were showing the names of those who were killed. As he read the other names, one poked his curiosity; Anne Tremblay. The girl he met in the park. One thing he learned in his life was that there were no such things as coincidences. Was she a vampire…or has another vampire had become fond of her?

-"Miss Tremblay was the one who found the first corps; the barman" Stephen said as he read his notes. "She said he harassed her but she is not one of our suspects. She was far too shaken to be even considered."

Father David nodded, then asked for her address. He would not go to her, but he would watch closely.

Meanwhile, Anne was slowly waking up. Since she had no memory as to when she changed and got into bed, she thought the events of the night before were but a nightmare. Though, when she didn't felt the warmth of her wolf beside her, she got scared. Looking around the room, she saw a bouquet of rose on her dresser, in a vase. Those were not hers. Then she remembered they were lying on her bed, when she came back home from Mina's…

She gasped for breath as a flood of memories resurfaced; the corps she found, which was the barman's, then the other five and finally him, the vampire. No, it's impossible! She thought as she rose from the bed with haste, looking everywhere for her wolf as she had last night. She was scared, so very scared for not finding any trace of Wolfgang.

Checking one last time around her apartment, crying as she did so, Anne locked every windows and the door with shaking hands. She then sat on the kitchen floor, her back against the refrigerator, rocking herself from left to right, back and forth.

-"I am not crazy." She mumbled as she curled up into a tight ball. "I know what I saw."

She cried louder and harder until her strengths were completely spent and she passed out on the cold floor.
