Author's Note: Okay, it has been four years since I first posted this and four years since I wrote anything on the story. I don't even remember where I was going with this but I wanted to try to start it up again. So here is the first new chapter in years, enjoy. :)

Chapter 3

"How could you possibly destroy something so precious?" Dracula seethed.

Alchemy shook her head, "It is your own fault really. I was so upset with you, so angry and I knew that you would want this same gift. So I killed the old witch who gave it to me."

"You wanted to be sure I could never gain it?" he asked.

"Yes, and now you never will so put it out of your mind." Alchemy said as she walked away from the bed and from Dracula.

She felt his cold hands rest on her shoulders, "I will have to grow accustomed to this new Alchemy. You never went out of your way to spite me before."

"I never had a reason back then, but I have plenty now."

Dracula threaded his fingers through her hair and moved to kiss her neck.

"I would have come with you, in the beginning. Even if my father had still been living I would have joined you. You didn't need to kill him, you must know that." Alchemy whispered.

He froze midway through his action, dropped her hair and stepped away, "I knew you wouldn't be able to let that go."

"You murdered my father and apparently do not feel bad about it in the slightest. How can I let that go?"

"It was hundreds of years ago my love. And I only did it so we could be together."

"You lie to yourself all you want but I am done listening."

Dracula crossed his arms in front of him, "So where does that leave us then? Last night you told me that you loved me and never again wanted to leave me side." As he spoke he moved closer to her again. With a stern finger he raised her chin to look into her eyes. "Have you changed your mind?"

Alchemy tried to look away but found she couldn't, "No, I haven't changed my mind."

"Then why are we arguing?" he smiled and kissed her lips.

To cautious to get lost in his kiss Alchemy pulled away and took and step backward, "That is something we do not have time for."

Dracula sent her a sly smile, "But it has been so long my dear."

"And it will be longer, believe me."

"You sound like you have made plans. Pray tell." He inquired.

Alchemy walked to the balcony and threw the doors open. She stepped outside and took in the view over the mountains. She barely noticed when her lover came to stand beside her.

"Well?" he asked.

"You found a way for our children to live, did you not?" she said without looking at him.

"Yes." He answered slowly.

"Then they will live."

"Surely Gabriel destroyed the monster. He would be a fool to let it live." Dracula scoffed.

Alchemy smiled and looked at Dracula. She marveled at how once she used to be so afraid and intimidated by him, "Our old friend Gabriel is quite the fool, my love. Dr Frankenstein's monster lives."

"Then we must find him." Dracula declared.

"And we will, at least, you will." Alchemy said bracing her hands on the railing of the balcony.

"And what will you be doing my dear?" he asked as he wrapped his arms around her from behind.

Alchemy sighed and rested her head on his shoulder, "That is quite simple. I am going to find Gabriel and then I am going to kill him."
