It was supposed to just be a dabble, but a lot of you guys liked it. I also kind of wanted to continue it myself. It takes off before the carriage fight scene at the beginning of Dracula AD 1972. Part 3 coming up! 😄 Hope you like it!

You stumbled out of the castle, Dracula's pained expression still fresh in your mind. When he saw you he looked so unbearably sad. You hadn't expected such an expression from someone that was supposed to be a monster, an expression that was very human. All of a sudden, an agonizing howl could be heard emanating from the dark depths of the castle. Something inside you wanted to go back, but Van Helsing held onto your hand tight as he lead you into the nearby forest.

Once you and Van Helsing were at a safe distance, you turned to him and asked, "what did he mean, Lawrence?" He paused, staring at you, looking hesitant.

"Lawrence?"

"There is a legend," he began. "That before Dracula became a vampire, he had a wife. Not much is known about her. Some speculate that she died during childbirth. Others say it was murder."

" What do you think it was?" You ask, pressing him for more information.

"I can't say for sure, but whatever it was, it was enough to drive Dracula to the edge. He became a ruthless warlord and was supposedly killed during a battle, but we know otherwise." Lawrence said, quickly glancing at the castle in the distance over his shoulder, a dark red moon hung over it making it appear all the more menacing.

"So, he thinks...Im his wife?" You ask, pointing to yourself. " That's impossible! I wasn't around then."

Van Helsing nods. "My dear, anything is possible. But, nevertheless he does. Now that he's seen you, he'll do everything in his power to get you back." He said as you walked through the forest to the nearby town.

Secretly, you sort of wanted him to find you. He intrigued you, and you wanted to know more about him, not just from Van Helsing told you. That and he was very attractive, his eyes entranced you the most. Something about them seemed... familiar.

You arrived at the inn you were staying at with your mentor, Lawrence Van Helsing. He taught you all the lore about monsters and cryptids, vampires obviously intriguing you the most. He was reluctant to bring you along on this case, but you insisted. Now, he really wished he hadn't. If only he had left you in London where you were safely out of Dracula's grasp. He didn't want the same fate to happen to you as he had seen it happen with so many others. He...he...well that didn't matter. You didn't share the same feelings anyway.

"It's nearly dawn. I doubt he'll try anything now. You should get some rest Y/N." Lawrence said, walking you to your room. You suddenly yawned, not realizing how tired you were until now. You turned to face him.

"You too Lawrence." You said knowing he probably wouldn't anyway.

"I'll try. " He assured you with a faint smile.

"Well goodnight--er good morning?" You scratched your head, unsure what term to use. You weren't use to such a strange schedule. He chuckled.

"Sleep well Y/N." Lawrence said, softly brushing a stray hair out of your face before turning and heading towards his own room.

You noticed that Lawrence was acting strangely towards you lately. He seemed to become more withdrawn, which troubled you. He was normally a very warm, welcoming man. Sometimes, he looked like he was going to say something, but then would change his mind. You didn't want to bother him so you never brought it up.

You changed into your sleepwear and fell upon the mattress, sinking into it as though it were quicksand. It didn't take you long to drift off to sleep, your thoughts wondering off to the mysterious vampire alone in his castle...
