Hello! I want to thank all the reviewers!! You guys really brightened my day!! Keep on reviewing! This chapter goes out to SilverFlover!!! Love ya for all the reviews! Again, i don't own anything to do with Van Helsing...darn! On with the story!

DRACULA'S POINT OF VIEW:

I aroused late that evening. Drat! I slept in again! Oh, but I felt so much better! That blood would keep me going for another couple of weeks. I got out of my coffin and walked towards my heavily curtained window. Pushing the thick velvet curtains aside, I stared out into the night. I could think clearly when I was alone and I could ponder about what punishment my werewolves would receive after they disobeyed me. Mangy mutts! I saw three flying figures out in the sky. My Brides. They are coming home. They have already fed. Good girls. I better speak with them and let them know about my plans next week. Grinning evilly, I left the darkness of my chambers.

NARRATOR'S POINT OF VIEW:

The Brides landed in the main hallway and screamed and hissed in delight. They danced around the room and threw their arms in the air. They fled to the lounge and scattered themselves about the room. Aleera sat down on a table and crossed her legs. Verona sat behind Marishka and braided her hair.

Aleera: I do so love visiting the mountain boys!

Verona: As do I.

Aleera: Did you see the looks on their faces when they noticed us?

Verona: Yes, we chased them around the whole wood.

Marishka: Yes…I gave mine a 10 second head start.

Aleera and Verona looked at each other and sneered. Marishka noticed this and hissed.

Marishka: What?

Verona: Really, Marishka, must you always play with your food?

Marishka: It's what I do!

They giggled in their high-pitched voices. Their laughter bouncing off the walls. They quickly shut their mouths when they heard a loud growl. Their Master had awakened.

DRACULA'S POINT OF VIEW:

Ah! Finally! They have settled down. They now know that I am approaching. I swung open the doors to my lounge and walked in, my hands clasped formally behind my back. My brides threw themselves at me and purred. I gave them each a small peck on the forehead before walking to my desk. They hissed in disappointment, but I shook a finger at them to stop. They took their seats and awaited what I was about to say.

Dracula: Did you get well fed, my beauties?

Verona: Oh, yes, Master!

Aleera: We went after the mountain boys again. Very few remain!

They began to cackle with their annoying echoing voices. I rubbed my head and closed my eyes.

Dracula: That's wonderful. I am fully healed and I want to let you know that I am fine.

Verona: Splendid, my love.

Marishka: Oh, Aleera! You have a tear in your dress!

Who cares? Why did she ignore my statement? Aleera glanced down at her dress and shrieked. I cringed. Out of all of my brides, she was the loudest.

Verona: Yes, Aleera, that is a nasty tear.

Aleera: CASSIDY!!!

Cassidy? Yes, she is coming. I couldn't help but feel a little excited at the thought of seeing her again. We waited in silence a few moments before Cassidy, small and meek, stepped into the room. Her hair was disheveled and she had loud black rings around her eyes.

Verona: My dear, Aleera has ripped her dress. You will need your sewing kit, darling.

Cassidy curtsied and left. I turned back to my brides and smiled. I must tell them of my plans. They will be shocked at what I am about to say.

Dracula: My dears, I know of your wishes to have a change of scenery. That is why next week we will havesome visitors.

Aleera: For dinner?

I rolled my eyes. Not everything is about dinner...although a great amount of it is. Anyway, this was not the case!

Dracula: No, dear, this family is not to be eaten. Understood?

She nodded. I walked to the middle of the room and began to pace. My pace soon came to a wall, but instead of turning, I just stepped up onto the wall and strolled on up to the high ceiling. Glancing down at my brides, I continued.

Dracula: The visitor is William Banning, his wife, and child. They come from London, England to-

Aleera: Is the child plump?

Dracula: ALEERA!!! THE CHILD, NOR THE FAMILY IS TO BE EATEN!!

What in Seven Hells is wrong with this girl? Was she like this before I sired her? I looked at her and sighed. She was now being rocked back in forth in Verona's arms, sobbing. I jumped from the ceiling and landed gracefully on the floor. I glided up to Aleera and cupped her face in my hand. She purred and leaned into my touch.

Dracula: My dear, the reason we do not want to eat these humans...is becuase they will be assisting us with moving into my new palace in Budapest.

Verona: You mean-

Dracula: Yes, my loves. We are going to take a little vacation.
