Disclaimer: I don't own Vanhelsing. Also, I changed a part in Chapter 5…he slept with her that time, ok? Ok.

Chapter 10:

"Mira wait! God damn you!" it was already getting dark.

He saw a movement, in the bushes. Teleporting over there, he appeared right in front of her.

"What do you want?" she hissed.

"I wanted to talk to you." He said, squatting down to the level she was sitting at.

"How dare you show your face in front of me after what you've done."

"I'm…I'm sorry."

"Your sorry?" she asked, her voice cracking. "That's all that you can offer me, that you're sorry?"

"I don't even remember why I did it anymore. I was so hungry I…I blacked out." He whispered.

Is that the reason? Or was it that you thought you could just trick me here, like I would never find out, and kill me just like my brother, is that it?"

"You know that's not true." He whispered.

"How can I know?" she whispered back. "When I don't know what I know?" she asked.

She sobbed softly.

She turned to look at him, and he hugged her, softly, stroking her head. He felt like a father, comforting a frightened child. That's how I always feel when I'm with anyone. He thought to himself.

"Go back to the party ok? You're the host, so you have to be there…"

"I don't want to."

"But you have too. And finish this once, and for all." She said, looking up at him, her eyelashes dripped with tears. "Will you stay?" he asked softly.

"I'll be gone tomorrow." She replied.

"Thank you for letting me work here. I'm sorry but I..." She said, holding out her hand

"I understand." Dracula replied, taking it. No one can love a murderer. Not even the murderer himself.

"You'll have your pay check by morning." He said.

" Thank you." She said. Turning, she walked away, finding the back entrance.
