Hey everyone! Sorry that it has been so long since I updated. I really appreciate all of the comments that I got and everyone who has added this to their favorites. I hope you enjoy this! Don't forget to review.

By the time they were ready to go back to the castle, they had killed at least ten people, more than they needed to, but they let their anger get the better part of them.

When they had reached their summer home, Verona had a look of sheer joy on her face. Her eyes had a light in them that Dracula had never seen there before. She had a small smirk and from the corner of her mouth, a small trail of blood from the night's festivities.

As the two of them neared the giant oak doors that lead to the entrance of the castle, Vlad extended an arm, and Verona gladly took it. The two then walked in, arm in arm. Once they got inside, the doors closed with a loud thud. They walked towards Dracula's chambers, not taking any notice of the servants that bowed to them as they passed.

When they got there, Dracula lead Verona over to the fire that had started to burn in the hearth as soon as the doors were opened. The light from the fire danced on each of their features.

Both of them looked into the fire for only a few minutes, but it seemed like hours to both. Dracula then looked over at his bride. He couldn't help but smile at how beautiful she was. Verona noticed this out of the corner of her eye and then turned to face him. He noticed the blood that was left on her mouth and carefully wiped it away.

Verona couldn't help but be comforted by his touch. She then rested her head on his chest and closed her eyes with a smile on her face. He then wrapped his arms around her, a small smile on his face as well. His bride was back to the way she was before; full of life, as much life the undead could posses.

Over the next year, Verona looked for something to keep her mind off of her children. She spent weeks, but found the only thing to bring her joy was the slaughtering of humans. She didn't care, young or old, rich or poor, healthy or sick; they all were victims to her wrath. She would spend night after night terrorizing the villages that surrounded the castle. When she got back from her raids, Dracula would notice she would always have a smile on her face and seemed to glide where ever she went.

Her rampages soon got out of hand, and Dracula noticed this. He had hoped that she would have noticed this on her own, but she did not seem to take any notice of the aftermath of her actions.

"Verona, my darling, what is troubling you so?"

"Nothing, why do you ask?"

"You have just had such a great blood lust lately. Don't get me wrong I enjoy seeing you causing turmoil among the humans, but you get carried away at times."

"What are you saying that I should just not hunt?" she said in a hurt tone.

"No, not at all. I am just saying that you need to restrain yourself to only what you need." She did not have an answer to his statement. She knew that he was right, but she did not want to admit it.

"Why do you feel you must kill all the time Verona?"

With an ashamed look upon her face, she looked away. "It helps me."

"How so?"

"It lets me escape from these feelings that I have, pain, confusion, anger, sorrow, rage. I just can't seem to escape them any other way." As she was talking, the emotions she had tried so long to bottle up started to show traces on her face.

"But, my darling, there is nothing that should cause you this pain."

That set her off. Verona's eyes suddenly became filled with tears and changed to their pale blue state. She turned her back towards him.

"Of course you would say that. You wouldn't know what it was like having to watch your children be born dead. You didn't have them inside of you for as long as I did, so you couldn't know the pain I go through each and every day knowing that I can't do anything to bring them to life."

Dracula was at first taken aback at her reaction. He became angry but then he had sympathy for her. He knew that she had suffered more than he had. He then took her in his arms and held her close to him.

"I know that you have been hurt deeply and that there was nothing that you could do to prevent this from happening, but be patient. We will find the key to their life and we will soon be a complete family. Now come, you have had a tiring day." They then walked off to their room, neither saying another word the rest of the night.

The next 100 years passed by with little change for them. They had had more children, but to no avail, were still born dead. This had caused Verona to start to slowly grow cold over the years.

One night while Verona was in the library, Vlad went out to go for a midnight flight. While he was out, he saw movement below him. He then landed behind one of the buildings. When he walked around, he saw a girl with very light brown hair that had hints of golden blond in it. When she turned around, Vlad saw her face and started to want her like he wanted Verona all those years ago. He still loved Verona, but he wanted to add something new into his life. Vlad also noticed that she was younger than Verona, if not by much. He then walked behind her. He noticed that the garments that she was wearing were that of gypsies'. He knew because he remembered seeing a caravan of gypsies travel through town when he was alive.

He watched her for a while, following her around the town. He was entranced by her. No one had ever done that to him since he first laid eyes on Verona. As he watched her, he made sure to keep his distance, so that she would not notice him. He enjoyed seeing the color in her features, which had left his precious Verona all those years ago.

As he continued to watch this new girl night after night, Verona began to grow suspicious of her master's activities. She would insist upon going with him to the village, but when ever she came along, Dracula made sure to stay clear of the gypsy girl.

One night, right before Dracula was about to leave the castle, he was stopped by Verona.

"Vladislaus, where are you going?"

"I am going out for a midnight flight."

"Would you care for some company?"

"Not tonight my dear."

"Oh," she said half heartedly. She then lowered her eyes to the floor.

Dracula hated to see her like this, so he went over to her. He lifted her head up so that her gaze caught himself. He then smiled at her and caressed the side of her face and kissed her forehead. She could not help but smile back at him, his charm still had its effects on her.

"I just need some time to clear my head and think. You have done nothing wrong my dear."

"I just want you to be happy." She then wrapped her arms around his neck and rested her head on his chest.

"I know you do." He then placed one arm around her waist to pull her close to him. He used his other hand to gently stroke her hair in a comforting manor. She then looked up at him with a smile on her face. Vlad smiled back at her, for he hadn't seen her smile as much as she used to. He then leaned down and kissed her tenderly, and with that, he left the castle and headed towards the village.
