Part XVI

"You of people should know that you can't kill Dracula, Kitana," said Aleera. Kitana glared darkly at the red haired vampiress.

"Step aside!" she said coldly. Verona shook her head.

"If you tried to kill him he would bite you!" she said. "Don't get yourself bitten.yet." Kitana stopped and raised an eyebrow.

"What do you mean yet?" she asked. "Tina just said that she made a deal with Dracula that he'd let me go." Verona and Aleera shook their heads. Tina came over and noticed that Marishka was missing.

"Where's Marishka?" she asked. Tears spilled down their faces.

"Dead," said Aleera. "Dracula sent her on a mission and she never came back. We could feel that she was staked!" Tina and Kitana looked at each other in shock.

"Did Dracula do that on purpose?" asked Tina. Verona nodded.

"Don't you get it you silly girls!" shrieked Aleera. "Dracula wants new brides! He's tired of us! That's why he's going to have us killed so he can have you two and another! Tina, he was only pulling your leg when he said he would set Kitana free. He meant free from her mortality! Sometime tonight he's going to come for her because he's finally fully gotten you!" Tina just couldn't believe her ears.

"But that CAN'T be true!" she cried. "He said-" Kitana cut her off.

"It doesn't matter WHAT he said, Tina!" she nearly yelled. "I told you he was just using you! Now he's gonna be after me just like he was after you! I told you he couldn't be trusted!" The truth in Kitana´s words brought tears to Tina's eyes. Their situation felt as though it was getting more and more hopeless by the minute. That was when she remembered something.

"Who is the third person Dracula wants for his third new bride?" she asked.

(MEANWHILE, ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CASTLE)

She didn't know for sure if the rumors were true but she knew she had to see for herself. As quietly as she could she slipped through one of the old windows.Visiting Castle Dracula wasn't her idea of a fun vacation, but if there were really two human girls suffering at Dracula's hand, she knew it was her duty to try and help them.

The hallways and corridors seemed dark and deserted, but she kept in shadow just in case. 'Where would they be?' she thought to herself. When she rounded a corner a cold hand wrapped around her throat while an arm wrapped around her waist. She turned her head around enough to see her captor's face. It was the last person she wanted to see. Dracula.

"Hello, Anna," he said while running a hand through her hair. "Wonderful to see you again."
