---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Aleera!"

Anna's shout echoed through the forest. Velkan came out of a clearing and came to Anna as Aleera watched from a tree.

" I'm sorry Anna." Velkan said with grief. " I can't find Aleera."

Anna started sobbing, that pathetic little princess. Anna began walking away, back to the village. Velkan followed, Aleera right behind them, not wanting to miss a moment.

" Do you suppose the vampires got her?" Velkan asked.

Anna looked up from the ground and stared at Velkan.

" Please, do not even say that. I can't even imagine..."

She started crying again. Aleera knew what was on Anna's mind. Anna thought that if Aleera had been taken by the vampires, that would be one of the many things that had been taken from her. First when she was told about why she had no family alive other than her father, mother, and brother. Then her mother dying, slowly and painfully killed by Marishka. Then her father going missing. And now Aleera herself was "missing", Anna's best friend.

Aleera held onto a branch, her new pink gown billowing in the wind. Would she herself miss the princess? No, she had decided. Anna always acts like she is strong. It will be fun to see how she reacts when she see's that she was taken by Dracula, but not in the way Anna was fearing,. Would Anna be more fearful of Aleera dying at the hands of Dracula, or would she fear her rebirth more?

Night fell quickly, and for the second time that day, the vampires attacked. While the villagers came out of their little church, they were lashed out upon by four demons, rather than the usual three. Anna had run into the bar, and slammed the door shut. Marishka and Verona had been ordered not to go after Anna. It was Aleera's chance to be acquainted with the princess as a vampire.

Within the bar, Anna was breathing deeply having barely escaping one of the brides. She had noticed that there had been one more than usual, and was curious to who that was. Suddenly, she heard a voice. It was Aleera.

" Anna...Help me Anna..." it whispered in an almost pained tone. " Anna..."

" Aleera!" Anna breathed. " Where are you?"

She looked around, confused. She began to slowly back up, starting to become concerned. Was she just hearing voices?

" Where are you?" she repeated.

" Right here." a voice said behind her.

Anna whipped around to find her self facing Aleera's face- on the body of a demon.

Aleera flipped off of the beam she was standing on and landed on the ground, turning into her human form, her flowing gown gracefully falling around her.

" Looking for me?" Aleera said, giggling.

Anna backed away, completely terrified.

" What have you done?" Anna managed to gasp.

" The one thing that you would never do, Princess..." Aleera said, walking closer to Anna.

Anna was suddenly angry. Aleera had betrayed her. She was the new bride of Dracula. She was the one who had attacked along with the others. She was now a part of the evil plague that her family had been fighting for years. She was now "married" to the man that was responsible for the deaths of thousands of her family members.

" What would that be, Aleera?"

" Eternal life. Eternal...happiness." She answered with a giggle.

" You are among the very creatures who are responsible for the death of my mother! Responsible for the capture of my father! They killed my family!" Anna shouted.

" Your father is dead." Aleera said with a menacing whisper. " My Master is responsible for that."

Aleera smiled, turned around, and began to walk away from Anna.

" And I am responsible for you."

Anna looked around the room in a panic. Was there any way she could escape?

Aleera stopped walking, turned her head towards Anna, and began laughing. Anna had heard her laugh before, but not like this. It was a mirthless, baneful, despicable laugh. As Aleera laughed, her teeth slowly distended into fangs. Within an instant, her beautiful face became distorted, and her jaw dropped down low as she let out a long hiss. Her body went white, and her long flowing sleeves draped upwards into wings. Aleera flew at Anna, her dead heart filled with rage. But Anna was a smart girl. She ran across the bar, yanked a cross off the wall, and held it in front of her. Aleera was too afraid to touch it, knowing it would hurt her. Aleera hissed at the princess and dropped her wings and transformed into her human form.

" My Master wants you dead. I will make sure that his wish is carried out."

" Fine, kill me. What would it matter? I've lost everything. My ancestors, my mother, my father." Anna cried. She looked at Aleera with hate and sorrow in her eyes. " And now my friend."

" Oh, Anna." Aleera said giggling. " I will not kill you now. I want you to worry about it. Wonder. Fear it...I will have you, princess."

" I'm not afraid of you." Anna declared firmly.

" Yet." Aleera said cackling, then she transformed into a bat, and burst through the roof.

Aleera looked up. Had she done the right thing? Allowing herself to be transformed into a monster? She grinned. Yes, she had. Though she was now dead, even though she always had been, she was still happy.

So they sat, Dracula and his brides, to wait in this eternal Hell until the Devil himself granted them life again. Until then, they were forever to be haunted by memories.
