As Dracula and the hypnotized Elisabeta faced off against Michelle, Amanda squinted in an attempt to see Alina's face which she still couldn't make out in the darkened room as she pleaded, "Help her, Lina!"

Dracula laughed as he said, "Stupid child! She's mine now. She's not going to do anything to help you."

Amanda could feel Alina's hands stiffen in anger as they held her, and she began to wonder if she was wrong about her. She began shaking with fear until Alina's grip slackened once more, and she stroked her hair as if to reassure her.

"Don't ever call my friend stupid again, or I'll punch your fangs down your throat," Alina finally said in a cold voice.

"What?!" Dracula shouted in surprise.

Michelle started to smile even as Amanda started laughing with joy. She could feel Alina give her a kiss on the cheek as she whispered in her ear, "I'm sorry for scaring you, Amanda."

"It's okay," Amanda whispered back.

"How dare you defy me? You're mine now. I made you into a vampire again," Dracula boasted.

"Did you? Did you really or did someone else beat you to it?" Alina asked as her eyes started to glow with golden energy that shone brightly in the darkness of her bedroom.

"Rose Tyler! She did this!" Dracula spat out like a curse.

"Close but not quite," said a familiar voice from behind Dracula.

Dracula turned to see Jenny standing there with a stern expression on her face, and her body glowing with pure white energy. He hissed in response to seeing her again. He remembered all too well how it was Jenny who had killed him the last time that he had tried to take over the planet. She had also made sure that he couldn't return again with her powers. Or at least she thought she had.

"You turned her against me," Dracula accused her.

"That's right I did because I didn't want you to undo all of the progress that she had made. I'm sure that you didn't know or care that she started fighting back against your influence and started becoming more like her true self while you were dead, did you? She was fighting back against you even when she was still a vampire. That carried over into her human form, and I wasn't about to see all of that reversed by you remaking her in your own image. So I made sure that she stayed as human as possible in terms of her personality and didn't become like she was before again. Elle travaille pour moi maintenant ou plus exactement elle ne travaille plus pour vous," Jenny said as she unintentionally slipped into French without realizing it.

"I prefer to think of it as more like that I'm working for myself from now on," Alina said as she finally switched the lights on at last to reveal what she looked like now.

Amanda was happy to see that Alina still looked mostly human. She was a little pale and her eyes looked a little bloodshot, but other than that you couldn't tell that she was a vampire as long as she didn't have her fangs extended.

"I'm glad that you still look like you. I wouldn't have minded if you had changed, but I'm glad for your sake," Amanda said.

"Thank you, sweetie! I think that my mostly human appearance was a little gift from Jenny," Alina said.

"Do you feed on other vampires like Lana does now?" Amanda asked out of curiosity.

"I think so. I'm not hungry for human blood so far anyway. I guess I'll find out," Alina said.

Amanda looked up at Alina with emotion-filled eyes; and for the first time now, Alina could see just how much all of this had upset her. She felt so sorry for putting her new friend through all of this especially since Amanda had been the one who had never lost faith in her.

"I was so afraid that I'd lost you, Lina. I don't want to lose you. You've become one of my best friends even though we haven't known each other that long," Amanda said with a sad expression.

"You can't get rid of me that easily, Amanda. I'm here to stay. I'm working with Jenny and the Wolves now," Alina said as she hugged Amanda tightly to reassure her.

"Oui. You're working with me not for me. I misspoke earlier, mon ami," Jenny said with a smile.

"What's with all of the French?" Michelle asked in curiosity.

"I've started speaking it lately because my fiancé likes it. I like it too to be honest. Why?" Jenny asked.

"No reason. I just wondered why I suddenly need a translator to understand you," Michelle asked with a giggle.

"Sorry about that," Jenny said apologetically.

Up until now, Dracula had been silently watching Alina closely to make sure that she wasn't pretending to be on the side of the others for her own reasons, but he could see now that the Alina that he had known before was well and truly gone. A very small part of him truly missed her, but mostly he was just angry that something had been taken away from him that he considered his. Someone should have told him that it was the twenty-first century. Not that it would have mattered if they had.

"It's all true. You've completely changed her. You've made my wife into another abomination like Ileana!" Dracula said with a snarl.

"Yes, I turned her into a temporal vampire just like Lana. I found her as she lay dying from what you did to her, and she asked me to do it with her last breath. She didn't want to be changed into what she had been before. She never wanted to be used to hurt her friends especially Amanda, and she was tired of all of the killing that she had done for so long in your name. Luckily for her, I'd been tracking you down for some time now ever since I sensed that you were back, and I finally found you here tonight," Jenny said.

"I'll make you pay for taking her from me," Dracula cried out in anger.

"She didn't do anything. You turned me against you all by yourself when you changed me against my will," Alina said as she sat Amanda down on the bed and stood up to face him.

Then before anyone had time to react, she raced over to Dracula in the blink of an eye and punched him through several walls of the headquarters with one blow as she said, "This is your official notice. I want a divorce."

Dracula quickly recovered and came back at the speed of the wind as he tried to attack her with a massive punch to the side of her head, but Alina easily ducked aside at the last minute. His fist went through the wall beside her instead and left a massive crater there.

Alina laughed as she said, "It's not so easy to attack someone who knows you as well as I do, is it? I know how you fight and exactly how you think. I know you so well that I can predict every move that you make before you even make it, Vlad. You said before that you knew me better than anyone? Well that goes both ways! By the way, I want the castle as a part of the divorce settlement."

"Why?" Michelle asked no one in particular.

"It's a castle. Who wouldn't want a castle? I'd love to live in one!" Amanda said with excitement.

"Castles are cold, dark, and drafty," Michelle said with a sneer.

"Castles are cool," Amanda said defiantly.

"Have you been hanging around my dad lately?" Jenny asked with a giggle.

All the while that this banter was going on, Dracula and Alina continued to fight with each other. More accurately, Dracula kept trying to fight with Alina, but he just kept missing her as she kept one step ahead of him while she continued to dodge every attack that he made against her. Finally she noticed that he was beginning to get more and more reckless the more frustrated that he got which was all according to her plan of course.

She finally struck back against him at last as he stood in place just a moment too long in the desperate hope of catching her. Just as she slipped from his grasp that time, she reached behind her and grabbed him by the throat. She then used all of her strength to throw him over her shoulder.

As he landed on the floor several feet away with a huge impact that would have broken the neck of an ordinary man, Dracula said, "So you're faster than me now and stronger. It doesn't matter though. I'll still win. I've been at this longer than even you have. I have more experience and cunning than you do, Alina. I'll defeat you, and then I'll find a way to bring you back to me again. I won't lose you as I did the others."

"I might almost think that you actually care about me, Vlad. If I didn't know you so well, that is. You don't care about anyone but yourself," Alina said.

"You're wrong, Alina. I'll prove that to you once I bring you back to yourself. It's just too bad that I can't bring your sisters back as well. I would have made the King of the Great Vampires bring them back with his great power as he did to me not too long ago, but he had to go and attack Lily out of fear and against my advice. I told him that would end in nothing but failure, but he was too terrified of her to listen. Now he's truly dead, but it doesn't matter. I've found a new ally now, and together we will wipe out all of my enemies. Then there will be no one left around to keep you and I apart any longer," Dracula said.

"You won't do anything to anyone, Dracula. You're outnumbered now. Especially after I do this," Jenny said as she freed Elisabeta from Dracula's hypnosis with a single touch of her hand on Elisabeta's forehead.

"Amanda?" Elisabeta said with concern the moment that she first came out of the trance. She smiled in relief when she saw that the little girl was safe, at least for the moment anyway.

"Are you okay?" Elisabeta asked her.

"I'm fine. I'm just sitting here and enjoying the show. Lina's really making him look like a fool," Amanda said with a chuckle.

"It appears that you were right about her after all," Elisabeta grudgingly admitted.

"Finally," Amanda said with a sigh.

"I can admit when I'm wrong. This time I'm so glad that I am," Elisabeta said.

Dracula quickly found himself surrounded now as Jenny, Alina, Elisabeta, and Michelle joined forces against him. He now found himself alone and having to fend off four attacks at once from four different directions.

Then things got even worse for the ancient vampire as the woman known as Adriana woke up at last.

Adriana pulled an old weathered and cracked wooden stake out of her belt and threw it towards Dracula's heart while he was distracted with fighting the others. She smiled as the stake struck its mark and went straight into his heart.

"Good bye, Drac, and good riddance. Sayonara, adios, adieu, toodles, and buh bye!" Adriana said with a massive grin on her face.

"Who are you anyway?" Michelle asked her as she smiled along with her.

"She's my niece," Elisabeta said proudly.

"No! You're Ileana and Abraham's daughter?" Michelle asked with a happy grin.

"That's right. I'm their eldest child. I know that means that I should be an old lady by now, but thanks to Mom's vampire side I don't age. She's told me a lot about you by the way. It's so nice to finally get to meet you. I can tell that she loves you a lot. She thinks of you and all of the others on the team as a part of her family," Adriana said.

"The feeling's mutual. Your mom is like my big sister," Michelle said in an emotion-filled voice.

Both Adriana and Michelle's grins fell as they realized that Dracula was not disintegrating as he should be this time. What was going on here?

"You have a very good aim, Van Helsing. It would have actually worked if not for one thing. I no longer have just one heart!" Dracula said with mocking laughter.

He ripped the stake from his chest and began to glow with energy now. Jenny's eyes widened as she realized what was happening.

"It's not possible," Jenny said in disbelief.

Then everyone in the room was thrown backwards away from Dracula as energy poured out of his head and arms. As incredible as it seemed, he was regenerating!

"Quoi? Quoi? Quoi?!" Jenny screamed with her mouth hanging open in shock.

"What?!" Michelle screamed out as well.

"That's what I just said," Jenny said.

"I am reborn!" Dracula screamed out as he began to change his appearance.

"This is not good," Amanda said.

"It doesn't matter what you do, Vlad. I'll still destroy you if it's the last thing that I do," Alina promised.
