Anna felt searing pain go though her entire body as she entered what had to be hell. As entered her clothes burned off giving the flames easy access to her soft flesh. She looked to see who is carrying her, she expected to see Dracula, but instead of the handsome vampire, she saw a giant, ferocious, crimson demon with long fangs for teeth, and talons for hands. She tried to ask what was happening but all that came out was a pathetic whimper. The demon threw her down on the hard, jagged floor. When landed, she landed on her arms, making a long deep cut on both them. She got up, making them bleed more in the process. When she finally got up, a whip appeared in the demon's talons, with a flick of the wrist, the whip came at her, wrapping itself around her abdomen. "How does it feel to be flogged?!" He cackled wickedly. Then with a hard jerk of the whip he hurled her into an open door, which she had not noticed before, and into a dark bottomless abyss. Welcome to the dark zone. Greeted Satan, in her mind. Why am I here? She asked in her mind. I made my son agree to let me take you for awhile. He said. I should have guessed so. He cares about me so little that he would let me go to hell. She said hurt by this revelation. He didn't want too, but I convinced him to let me take you. He said obviously trying to make her feel better. You still haven't answered my question. Why am I here? She said wondering what this place was for. You are here to experience what death is really like. He said sounding overconfident. Oh really. She said sarcastically. Yes, really. Now I will take my leave. He said, and then it was quiet, leaving her with her lonely thoughts.

Dracula sat on the edge of his bed, head down, contemplating the events of this week. "His has been rough week hasn't it?" Satan said. He looked up to see his father before him, without Anna. He bolted up from the bed, grabbed his father by the neck, and threw him against the wall. "Where is Anna?!" He hissed. "Do not worry, son. She is still in the dark zone." Satan said reassuringly. "Then why are you here?" He said suspicious of his father intentions. "I just want to talk." Satan said innocently. "About what?" He said, intrigued. "How you can show Anna how much you love her…."

Anna lay alone in the crushing darkness, thinking. How long she has been there, she does not know, but it has felt like years. As she thought Dracula kept crossing her mind. Deep inside she wished could see him one last time, have him hold her in his strong arms, and kiss her with luscious lips, though she knew it would never happen. I don't think he will ever get a heart and if by some impossible chance he does, he will never fall in love with a stupid woman like me. If by some small chance he loves me like Satan says he loves me, then I have probably ruined the best relationship I will ever have. But does it even matter? I will never see him again. She thought bitterly. Quite on the contrary, you will be seeing him very soon. Satan said, once again in her head. Before she could respond she felt a smoldering fist come down on the back of her head and everything went black.
