Hey guys! Thanks everyone who read the last chapter. It took me awhile to write this chapter due to lack of motivation, but I finally got it done! Please don't forget to review!

When he had reached the university, Dracula was greeted by two professors. Dr. Csorba and Dr. Aldini were their names. Dr. Csorba was the head master of the school and Dr. Aldini was one of the top minds from the university's science department.

"It is a pleasure to meet you Count," Dr. Csorba said. The only reason that he was there was that Dracula had expressed in his letter that he might be interested in investing a great sum of money into the institute. He was a rather round man, with a red face and dimples. He had no hair on top of his head, but had a thin black mustache. "I am Dr. Csorba, the head master of the University of Budapest. This is Dr. Aldini," he said as he motioned to the man to his left.

Dr. Aldini was a tall man, who looked as if he were all limbs. Atop his head sat a mess of untidy sandy blond hair. He looked like he was in his mid to late 30s.

"Shall we start with a tour?"

"I am not much of one for tours; I would like to talk to Dr. Aldini and in private if possible." Dr. Csorba seemed flabbergasted. He whispered something into Aldini's ear, but Dracula heard his comment all the same, "Don't mess up this time!" He then bid the Count farewell and returned back towards the main building of the school.

"If you would follow me to my office, we can discuss the reason for your visit." Aldini quickly turned on his heal and headed towards one of the outermost buildings on the campus.

Once they reached it, Dr. Aldini entered first, followed closely by Dracula. Once inside, Dracula locked the door and closed all the windows within the blink of an eye. He turned towards the doctor, who seemed scared.

"Why doctor, you act as if you have seen a ghost." He did not reply, but simply quivered in his place. "I don't have much time, so if you would, let us get to business. I have heard of this new experiment of yours. Would you care to tell me about it?"

"Yes sir," he said in a timid voice. As the professor started to state his theory, Dracula grew more and more interested. Aldini had theorized that if he sent electrical shocks through dead tissue that he would be able to give it life again. He told Dracula of how he had tested his theory on recently deceased frogs.

As the conversation continued, Dracula asked, "Have you thought about trying this on larger beings, like humans?"

"Count, that is totally immoral! Besides, the University would not fund me for such an experiment."

"Hmm, pity. I was hoping that I would be able to. Perhaps I shall find another who would be willing." He then left the professor's office and headed back to the carriage so that he could return to shelter before the sun came up.

Back at Castle Dracula, Verona was pacing the ceiling. She had tried her best to regain her sense of normalness, but was unable to. All she could think of was getting revenge on Anya for what she had done to Rose. After much consideration, she decided that it was time to take matters into her own hands.

Once night fall had engulfed the village the next night, Verona flew towards the Valerious palace. She entered without making a sound. Once she had entered the room, she turned towards the sleeping figure of a girl. Her fangs grew out at the sight of her. As she approached the girl, a wicked smile came across her face.

"Revenge will be so sweat."

Anya jolted awake when she heard a scream from down the hall. She quickly jumped out of her bed and headed towards the sound of the scream, which had come from her daughter's room. When she reached the door, she threw it open and ran to her daughter's bed. From all her years of fighting monsters, nothing could have prepared her for what she saw. Her daughter's throat had been torn to shreds, blood covering the entire bed and much of the floor. On the wall above her dead daughter there was something written in blood. When she got close enough, and after wiping away tears, Anya was able to see that the writing on the wall said, 'An eye for an eye, and a daughter for a daughter.' Anya then collapsed on the floor, unable to hold herself up and let her emotions take over her entire being. Her husband quickly ran into the room after her, and when he saw what had happened, he knelt next to his wife, wrapping his arms around her, and started to weep himself.

The two monarchs looked up when they heard a gasp behind them. They both turned to see that it was their son, Boris. Anya quickly got up and took her son in her arms.

"Which one did it mother? Who killed her?"

Anya was hesitant to answer, but knew that her son deserved the right to know.

"It was Verona. She did this out of anger for us killing her daughter."

"She deserved to die! All of them do! I will kill them, all of them if it is the last thing I do."

"Boris, please, not now. I can't bear the thought of losing you too."

"Yes mother, but I will avenge my sister and our family."

Once Verona had returned back to Castle Dracula, she entered her room with a small smirk on her face. She felt that revenge had somewhat helped her cope with her loss, but it still did not fill the void that was there. She walked over to her vanity and sat down. She looked in the corner, where she kept a small black box. She reached for it, and opened it, revealing the tiara that Rose had worn at the ball. Softly stroking it with her thumb, Verona let her mind wander back to the days of her daughter, when she felt like there was a purpose to live for eternity. After a few minutes of reminiscing, Verona placed the tiara back in the box, and went to her coffin in the hopes that sleep would help her forget. As she drifted off to sleep, Verona started to dream.

In her dream, Verona was in the large ball room of their castle in Bavaria. There were people dancing and having a merry time. Verona saw that her sisters were happy as well, laughing and talking. Verona looked out on the dance floor to see if she could find her husband, but instead she saw Rose, dancing with the same boy that she had shared that one dance with oh so long ago.

As the tears started to well up in Verona's eyes, she felt a pair of arms snake around her waist. She turned to see that it was Dracula.

"It's just a dream," she thought to herself.

"But it isn't just a dream," Dracula whispered into her ear. She turned her head to look up at him. "This isn't just a dream your mind concocted for you, I did. You needed something to be happy about, and this was the happiest I have ever seen you."

Verona placed her head on his shoulder, exhaling softly. "I can't let it go. I can't let her go."

"No one is asking for you to. I just want you to be happy." He kissed her shoulder, and continued kissing it up to her neck. He then proceeded to unhook her collar, and continued kissing her neck, following it up to her jaw line.

"Promise me one thing," she said in between breaths.

"And what is that my love?"

"You won't replace her, like you would one of us," she said as she pointed to herself and her dream sisters.

"Anything for you my dear." He then kissed her on the lips and relinquished his grip on her. "I will see you by tomorrow night," he said as he vanished into thin air. Verona looked back over at her daughter, who was still dancing. She let a smile come across her face as she continued to enjoy this peaceful dream.
