Aleera and Marishka are in the village. They are walking around, spying their potential victims and marking their presence in the area with the traces of blood from their victims.
Aleera is a little melancholic this night. She admires the talent of her second sister, Marishka is a skilled hunter and so heartless that sometimes she is afraid of her.
------------"What are you looking at Aleera?
------------"I admire you sister, you are a great creature.
------------"Thank you little sister, but soon, you will be my equal. I have a lot of things to teach you.
------------"Do you have nightmares Marishka?
------------"Excuse me?
------------"The ghosts of your victims never visits you in your dreams; they never torment you in your dreams?
------------"In the beginning of my evolution yes, but not anymore.
------------"The ghosts torment me every night, and I can still hear the voice of my mother when the night is quiet. I can't enjoy this Marishka, I am still afraid.
------------"It will pass Aleera, trust me. Now you must concentrate in your change, you are one of us, the youngest bride of the master. Look
------------"What?
Marishka and Aleera look at a little girl in the alley.
------------"Take her Aleera
------------"She is just a little girl!
------------"You must forget those human feelings. We are not like them, we need them to survive, we need their blood nothing more. If you want to feel good with yourself and with your new life you must kill every trace of human sensation in your heart. Understood?
Vera is walking near the alley. She sees the little girl playing alone in the dark. Suddenly she feel a weird sensation in her heart, she can feel the presence of her daughter.
Aleera is almost near the little girl, the child look at Aleera with fear in her eyes.
------------"Don't move child, it could be worse for you.
------------"Mommy!
------------"Your mommy is not here darling. You are mine now, your blood will keep me beautiful and with your death I will kill all the human traces in me.
But just before Aleera attack the girl, something she did not expect happened.
--------------"Aleera Don't, let her go!
Aleera stop her attack and release the girl. The child escape, and Aleera turn around to see her mother right in front of her.
--------------"Mother!
--------------"How can you be so cruel Aleera? you were so sweet. I raised you in the values of respect, love and compassion. I taught you the Word of God.
--------------"I am not your daughter anymore! Your daughter died Vera; I am the daughter of darkness now.
--------------"No, I know I can save you
--------------"I don't need salvation, mother. I am immortal, the youngest bride of Dracula. We will rule the world someday.
--------------"I love you Aleera, I don't care what you are now for me… nothing has changed, you are my daughter and I will protect you always.
--------------"I don't need your protection. Besides, I am not alone here, my sister Marishka is with me and if she finds you here…
--------------"She is not your sister!
--------------"She is. And if she finds you I will not be able to protect you, you will die. Get out of here, and stay away from me.
---------------"Aleera please…
---------------"I am a vampire, a killer, a walking dead. I cannot continue suffering for my past memories; I must kill every trace of humanity in me.
Aleera sees her mother crying and her cold heart start to breaking.
----------------"Good bye mother, never cross my path again.
----------------"You are still my child, you cannot kill me and that means that you love me, you recognize me as your mother, nothing has changed.
Marishka appear in that moment.
-------------"Your mother found you, what a lovely scene
-------------"That's enough Marishka, let's go
-------------"You must get rid of her; her presence is bad for you.
-------------"Marishka…
-------------"I can do it for you.
-------------"I say let's go sister! She will never cross my path again. Come on let's go.
Aleera and Marishka transformed into vampires in front of Vera and fly away from her.
Vera's heart is broken, but her maternal instincts are stronger than her fear. She feels that she must fight for her daughter no matter the cost. She must find a way to rescue her, to get her back. Vera needs help and her husband is not a choice. There is only one place where she can ask for help…
