Claire, Nadel, and Monique flew to their soon-to-be sister's home. As the Bride's of Count Dracula flew they talked excitedly.
"I heard she'll be even more beautiful then her mother, Queen Anna." Claire said. "The Count said that we must watch over her when he can't. It'll be just like raising her ourselves!" Monique said happily.
"Oh look! There she is! Oh look at how cute she I!" Nadel said. They returned to their human forms as they landed hidden in a tree so they can watch the one year old Mino.
Her hair was curly brown, her now hazel green eyes sparkled gleefully. She was chasing a cat, giggling as she ran.
"Aw. She's so cute. Ohh. I love her already." Monique said.
"Mino!" The three vampire Brides heard a boy, then saw him. The knee that when he grew up, he'd be just as handsome as his father. The young boy chased his little sister. "That must be Valcen. The son. The spitting image of his uncle when he was that age." Claire said,, remembering the paintings of Queen Anna's family.
The others nodded in agreement, also remembering the paintings.
Mino sat, giggling, beside the cat, who decided to lay down. And she was petting it. The cat seemed to be very patient with the toddler, seeing as she was a tad bit to rough with it. Her brother seemed to noticed.
"Mino. You have to be gentle." He tried. He walked over, the cat got up and rubbed against the boy as a 'thank you'.
"She likes cats. Master will want to know that." Nadel said. The other three nodded.
Mino got away from her brother and walked up to the tree. She looked up at them. Her big eyes filled with curiosity. Then she lifted her arms up. "Up." She said.
The three 'Awwed'.
Claire climbed down. "Up." Mino said again. Claire picked her up and put her on her hip. The other two climbed down as well. "I can't wait for you to be like us sister. The Master can't wait either. You will looove him." Nadel said.
Mino started talking in her own adorable baby talk.
"Mino!" They all heard Valcen. A big smile appeared on the toddlers face hearing her brother. Valcen found them and ran up to them.
"We found her wondering around. Is this your sister?" Monique asked. The boy nodded shyly. "Then here you go handsome. It looks like we won't need to go looking for her family." Claire said, putting the little girl on her own two feet.
The boy blushed at being called handsome. "Where's your parents?" Nadel asked. "Their working. The babysitter is letting us play outside." Valcen said.
"Well. You better head back home." Monique said. He nodded, and took his sister's hand. Then lead her back home.
When the two children were out of sight, the three Brides flew off to report to their Master. Count Dracula.
By nightfall. They finally arrived.
Though they were tired from their trio. They insistently went in search for their lover.
They found their beloved Count in his study. "Well? How does our young Mino fare?" He asked. "She is so adorable. So happy. She already seems to like us. When she saw us. She came over and she instantly wanted us to hold her." Nadel said. Making their beloved lover grin.
"She's got such curly hair. She also likes cats. We watched her chase a cat for an hour at least. Giggling the whole time. She's such a happy child." Claire said.
"So... She likes animals. We'll have to remember that when we bring her home." Dracula said. "Now. Go and rest my loves." He ordered. They obeyed.
He picked up a picture of the happy royal family. Baby Mino was giving a mischievous baby grin.
He sighed. "Soon darling."
He loved his new brides. And he loved his other brides. It hurt him deeply when they were killed. And when his children died as well.
He has people looking for the Frankenstein monster still.
A witch had given him powerful stones that help him and his brides go out on the sunlight. He's going to need to prepare something for Mino. So she has one when she's turned into a vampire.
He used to have feelings for Anna. But now they are all gone. All he feels for her now is pure hatred.
And he's going to relish the angony and defeat on Anna and Gabriel's faces when they see their precious daughter as his bride.
He just couldn't wait.
