The winter finally arrives; Aleera has not abandoned Castle Dracula since the death of her father two weeks ago. Dracula is tired of her sadness; he wants to see her smile, to hear her laughing along with her sisters and he wants her back in his bed.
-------------"Aleera
-------------"Yes my lord?
-------------"We are alone darling, call me Vlad
-------------"As you wish
-------------"You need to feed my dear; you are losing your color.
-------------"I am fine
-------------"No you are not. Your sisters are going to hunt tonight; I want you to go with them.
-------------"Vlad…
-------------"That's and order Aleera
Aleera knows that disobey Dracula is not a good idea, even when he is in a good mood.
-------------"I'll go.
-------------"Good. Stay with your sisters all the time, I don't want surprises.
During the night; Aleera, Marishka and Verona threaten in silence. The night is quiet and the brides' potential victims are unaware of their presence. Marishka is waiting in the alley, almost ready to attack an old lady. Suddenly something she did not expected happened.
---------------"You are a heartless killer Marishka, you always choose the most innocent victims.
Marishka cannot believe what her eyes see, Aleera's mother right in front of her.
-------------"I hate to waste my energy; I save it for my master. And what do you want?
-------------"I need your help
-------------"My help!
-------------"Yes.
-------------"Do you want me to kill you so that your pain goes away?
-------------"Not exactly.
-------------"I don't know how I can help a simple mortal like you. Like you said, I am a killer, a vampire like your sweet daughter.
--------------"Yes, a vampire like my girl. And because you are one, you can help me.
Marishka is confused.
-------------"Why you just don't forget your daughter?
-------------"Because I am her mother. I made a bargain with your master, but I cannot keep my word. I need my daughter; I need to be by her side. And the only way to achieve my goal is… to be a vampire like her.
-------------"What!
-------------"Make me like you Marishka.
-------------"Are you crazy!
-------------"No. I prefer to be a monster and stay with her that live the rest of my life without her.
Strangely, Marishka feels the words of Vera deeply in her heart.
----------------"You ask too much from me
----------------"I beg you. I need my daughter, I can't live without her.
----------------"I can't. If I do that Dracula would despise me and Aleera will hate me!
----------------"You love my daughter?
----------------"She is my little sister and best friend of course I love her. Sometimes we fight but, we are close.
----------------"My Aleera can be very naughty sometimes
----------------"Yes. Vera, I am not a sentimental girl… I will give you a chance to leave this alley do it now.
----------------"Please Marishka…
----------------"No. And don't dare to ask the favor from Verona, she will kill you before you begin to speak.
Vera cries of desperation and pain.
---------------"Why you and the others cannot understand that I can't live without my daughter!
---------------"Listen lady, I will call Aleera; I know she can deal with you better than I. Stay here and don't make loud sounds because Verona is around and she has sharp ears.
Marishka change in to her vampire form and fly away. Vera is alone with her thoughts and waiting for her daughter.
"This life without you hurts too much my sweet daughter. You are the only person I have; you are the center of my heart, and if I cannot have an eternity with you, nothing in this world has sense to me. I'm here without you my girl, but I have the hope that I will reach and eternity with you, to take care of you, to see you sleeping in the day and flying away in the night like a dark fairy. If I cannot save you, then I want to share the same curse with you".
