Dracula was standing by the window, his raven hair held up as usual in the ornate clasp.
"Tell me Gabriel" he said in a dangerously low voice. "What did you use on Misha? It would have to have been a very strong love potion for her to be so deeply infatuated"
"I didn't use anything" said Van Helsing. "I swear on my life and on the Bible that I didn't use anything on her"
"Oh" said Dracula in a skeptical, disbelieving voice. "And I am really supposed to believe that am I?"
"Yes because I did not use anything on her" said Van Helsing
"Then, pray tell me" said Dracula. "How a girl who is engaged to be married has come to fall in love with you?"
"I don't know" said Van Helsing. "I really and truthfully don't know"
At that moment the doors opened and the brides came in, or rather Misha came running in and the others came running after her.
"Father" cried Misha. "I sear on the Lucifer that he did not use any potion on me, I am untouched and perfectly sane. The love that I feel is a true love"
"Then you tell me Misha, what about Vincent?" said Dracula. "You are engaged to be married"
"I never loved Vincent, father" said Misha. "How could I, he has eight brides already"
"What does that matter, I have three" said Dracula.
"You have three and he has eight" said Misha. "and not one bride in those eight liked me, they treated me like a , a piece of , dirt to be trodden under foot"
"Vincent is a respectable vampire lord, and his brides were lovely to us" said Dracula.
"Yes they were lovely to you, not to me" said Misha. "they made it plane that they thought I was a gold digging little , and this master you will like because if they think that I'm a gold digging little bitch, then the think all of you are trash to!"
"But Vincent was so eager..." said Dracula.
"To have me as his " finished Misha. "Father, you said that you only bit women who you loved, I will only marry a man I love. That man is standing beside me now"
"So Gabriel" said Dracula. "You have seduced my daughter and made her love you"
"I told you" said Van Helsing, his temper boiling and ready to explode. "I did not seduce HER!"
"Master" said a voice from the door. "Why don't you give it a try, I have seen them together and they adore each other"
"Olivia, stay out of this" said Dracula.
"Yeah" piped in Corinthia. "Give it a try, even if you hate each other"
"Olivia, Corinthia, this is none of you business" roared Dracula. "STAY OUT OF IT!"
"NO" shouted Verona. "We are with Misha on this Vladislous, WE WILL NOT BACK DOWN. THEY WILL BE TOGETHER!"
"SO" yelled Dracula. "MY OWN BRIDES TAKE THE SIDE OF VAN HELSING, FINE!"
"So, she can marry Van Helsing then" said Aleera.
"FINE YES, WHATEVER" roared Dracula.
