part 6

Hey guys and gurls! I hope you are all doing well during quarantine! Sorry this chapter has taken so long, work has been crazy! so without a further waiting the next chapter. 

As Elisabeth slept throughout the day Juliet and Marcus started to prepare for the baby by going into town to buy the essentials for the baby. Driving into town Juliet could feel Marcus’s uneasiness causing her to clear her throat to get his attention. “Huh what?” He asked as he glanced at Juliet. “What is the matter? And don’t say nothing because your wrinkled focused face says otherwise.” Marcus sighed as he pulled over to the car park next to the store. “Are you sure having an … individual like Elisabeth in are home? Especially as we are starting a family?” He said in a worried/Concerned voice as he expressed his thoughts to his wife. “I understand that you are concerned Marcus, I am too but she would never hurt anyone unless she needed to; I can see it in her eyes when she looks at anyone that she meets.” Juliet said with a soft voice while she looked Marcus in his eyes. “What if she changes? What if you and the organisation find him? Do you think he will make her like him?” Marcus knew what the organisation was looking for…who they were looking for but he also knew that they would never put Juliet in danger but when it came to who his family were actually looking for it sent a feeling of dread through him that coursed through his entire body. “Look I know you trust Elisabeth but we have never seen her interact with him nor know his ability to influence her or anyone for that matter, I mean all we know of him is what has been written by my ancestor and even there some of that has been disproved by Elisabeth.” Juliet brought her hand to his cheek and gently stroked his cheek bone gently before kissing his nose gently then smiled softly. “I know you are worried; I know that having her in our house scares you but she is so much more than Dracula.” She said in a confident tone to encourage Marcus to feel better and it worked for the most part but he still felt the dread in the back of his mind.

 When they finally got out of the car, they went to multiple stores looking for things for the baby and groceries for themselves before heading back to the car. “So remind me again why we need to buy baby things when its still early in the pregnancy?” Marcus asked as he packed the car with the multiple things they had bought. “Because it is better to be prepared then to be unprepared.” Juliet said smiling as she looked at the cute little dress she had bought for the baby even though she didn’t know it’s gender. “And besides what if they don’t have the cute dresses i like when I am bigger?” She added as she got into the car, Marcus rolled his eyes as he finished packing before getting back into the car and drove off back to their home.

Meanwhile Elisabeth was in a deep slumber dreaming of her life in flashes till her mind settled her in a forest familiar to her childhood, she could hear running in the distance and soft voices that were incoherent to her. 

 “Hello? is there anyone out there?” She yelled as she looked around her when a child stood in front of her causing her to gasp as the child had dry blood on their neck and lips. “Who are you?... what happened to you?” She asked but the child said nothing, they walked up to Elisabeth slowly, until there the child was more visible to her.

“El vine ... el este aproape terminat de vindecare.” The child said softly Elisabeth heard foot steps in the distance. “ Cine vine?...” Elisabeth asked before the child motioned her to come closer to her so Elisabeth knelled down down as the child leaned into her ear and whispered.  “Dracula..” Before falling into Elisabeth’s arms, died as the child’s eye fell onto the forest in front of her, the foot steps drew closer but Elisabeth did not take her eyes off the child till the foot steps stopped in front of her, she then slowly started to lift her head to take in the figure in front of her who was dressed in black dress pants and black polished shoes that where tied with black lace, a white shirt with a black vest which was covered with a red and black cloak, she dear not look at the face of the figure until she felt ice cold fingers caress her chin which coaxed her to look up at the face she had not seen in centuries. “ Ți-a fost dor de mine, draga mea Elisabeth?” He said with a small smirk in the corners of his lips.

“Soţul?....”

Countess Dracula

Part 5

After an hour of being in the house there was no words uttered since Elisabeth had introduced herself. All three of them sat in the lounge room in dead, awkward silence as Marcus stared at Elisabeth as she looked around the room. “You have a lovely living room Mister Van Helsing.” Elisabeth commented but Marcus did not register her compliment causing her to look to Juliet to help her, then Juliet cleared her throat. “Well I don’t know about you two but I can do with a cup of tea, Marcus can you come with me to make the tea?” She asked as she gave Marcus a head nudge to the kitchen. “H-huh? Oh yeah tea! Yes, I will go and help…with tea.” He stammered as her got up abruptly and rushed into the kitchen. “He is a rather eager tea maker Juliet.” Elisabeth said with a knowing smirk while she gracefully stood up and walked to a wall covered in photographs of Juliet and what she assumed was her family. Juliet walked into the kitchen. “She is a vampire Juliet! What is a vampire doing in our house Juliet?!” Marcus whisper yelled as he threw his arms in the air. “Marcus she isn’t a threat to us so I do not know why you are acting this way.” Juliet said in a calm manner as she got three tea cups out. “What are you doing?” HE asked as he walk to Juliet’s side and watched her. “Making tea? What does it look like I am doing?” She said in a slightly irritated tone as she started to boil the water. “Why are you making tree cups?” he asked as he crossed his arms. “What do you mean why am I am making three cups? Elisabeth is here as well and it would be rude not to offer her a cup.” Turning to him with a now irritated look before she went to get the tea bags. As Juliet and Marcus continued their argument that Elisabeth could obviously hear she explored the house, it was an Victorian styled house with white wall trims in all the rooms no matter the colour which made Elisabeth smile softly before she came to an unfinished room with splashes of yellow, blue, pink and green which she found odd. ‘Maybe they haven’t found the right colour.’ She thought as she looked down to see a cloth tarp with all different colours. “They must paint a lot.” She said softly as she left the room and went to the furthest room down the hall, opening the door to see a beautiful purple walled room with a gorgeous bed and a with a mirror table with a plush stool. “Such a beautiful room, I wonder if this is my room or theirs.” She said with a soft smile before heading back to the lounge room and sat down in a red leather arm chair before Juliet and Marcus came out with Marcus rubbing his shoulder and Juliet holding a tray with tea, lemon, three cups, sugar and milk. “Tea Elisabeth?” Juliet asked as she set the tray on the coffee table. “I don’t even know if I can drink tea, I don’t even believe we had tea back then in Romania.” She said in a curious tone as she poured herself a cup of tea before slowly bringing it to her lips before sipping it then pulled it away from her mouth and looked at it confused. “I can’t taste anything… is that normal?” she asked as she looked to Juliet who shared the same look. “Well you are a vampire, maybe you just can’t taste human food.” Elisabeth slowly put the tea down. “What a petty then, I was looking forward to trying English cuisine.” She said in a sad tone as Juliet and Marcus looked at each other before drinking their tea. “Juliet what is the arrangement regarding my diet?” Upon hearing this Marcus spat his tea causing Juliet to gasp and Elisabeth to cringe as the tea dripped off her face. “I am so sorry Elisabeth!” Juliet grabbed a napkin and handed it to her to wipe her face. “As for you….diet, we well be getting a shipment here every month so you won’t go hungry.” Elisabeth nodded as she whipped her face and smiled. “That’s good, I would hate to have to hunt for my own dinner.” Elisabeth Said with a cheeky smirk before looking at the wall clock. “Oh how time flies when you are having time, I believe it is time for me to retire to my room, goodnight Juliet, goodnight Marcus.” And with that Elisabeth went to her room and got ready for bed before laying in the warm blanket and sheets to slowly drift off to sleep.

Part 4

20 years later

As Elisabeth progressed with her learning of the modern world so to did, she progressed with remembering her past as well, remembering little things like her childhood and hobbies she had but the one thing that brought her the most joy was remembering her home land. “Have you ever been to Romania Bufford? Its mountains are magnificent during winter.” Elisabeth recalls as she laid in her bed talking to the guard. “I can’t say I have Ma’am.” He replied as he adjusted his stance. “Oh, what a pity.” She said softly as she slowly sat up. “I wonder what is talking Juliet so long, she is never this late.” Elisabeth started to get concerned with the lateness of Juliet. “Maybe she is in traffic Ma’am.” Bufford said in a calm manner as Elisabeth began to pace back and forth before looking over to him with a tempered look before resuming pacing until Juliet rushed in with an excited aura around her. “I have the best news Elisabeth!” Juliet exclaimed as she pulled out an envelope and opened it revealing an ultra sound. “What is that?...” Elisabeth asked soft. “It’s a ultrasound Elisabeth! Marcus and I are pregnant!” Juliet exclaimed excitedly as Elisabeth stared to tear up. “You are with child?... That is amazing Juliet!” Elisabeth said excitingly as she rushed to the glass to see the ultrasound. “and that is the child yes?”  Elisabeth asked as she smiled brightly at the picture before she heard the doors open causing her eyes to widen when she saw the door open. “I believe you have proven yourself sable enough to come out of that box.” Juliet said softly as she walked to the door way as Elisabeth followed her till they were a metre away from each other before Elisabeth lunged at Juliet, pulling her into a tight hug. “Oh god that feels good.” Elisabeth said with tears in her eyes as it had been too long since she felt touch of another being as Juliet laughed softly. “Well would you like to go outside?” Elisabeth nodded excitedly as she rushed to the door with a gust of wind following her causing Juliet to chuckle as she walked to the door and walked with Elisabeth outside to a forest. “It looks like home..” She said with bloody tears running down her cheek as she deeply inhaled to smell the pine forest around them and the sweet smell of wild flowers. “Elisabeth, we have a place fore you when you are ready to come with me.” Juliet spoke up as she walked to Elisabeth’s side. “In a moment, I just want to feel the warm night air just a little longer.” She said softly as she closed her eyes, Juliet nodded as she walked to the car parked close by while Elisabeth looks up to the sky. “How has the world changed so much but you stay the same?” She asked the sky before walking to the car and got in. After an hour of driving they made it to a small town that looked old and weathered which made Elisabeth smile at it’s old world charm. “What is this town called?” She asked softly while Juliet drove. “Iken, It is a lovely town close to the coast of Slaughden coast and Aldeburgh Beach.” She said softly as she drove before turning into a street to a long driveway. “Elisabeth Tepes welcome to house Van Helsing.” Juliet said as they drove to a two story cottage house. “How lovely.” Elisabeth said as they stopped while Marcus, Juliet’s husband walked out with a goofy smile on his face as he saw Juliet’s face but then his face turned into a confused gaze as he looked upon Elisabeth. “Hello there! you must be Marcus.” Elisabeth said with  smirk as she held her hand out. “I am Elisabeth Tepes and I am a vampire.”

The Countess Dracula

Part 3

It had been a month now since the countess had been found and she had grown quite fond of her human friend Juliet as she taught her about the new world she was living in as well as improving her English through blood. “So what are we learning to day Mrs Van Helsing? Are we learning more about the advancements that your century has created?” Elisabeth asked as she sat comfortably with her leg crossed in front of Juliet. “ I am afraid I have taught you all I know Elisabeth but I have brought in a history professor willing to teach you, although he does not know your…predicament…” Juliet bit her lip as she didn’t like to bring up what Elisabeth truly was in fear it might upset her. “Predicament? What predica-……You mean he does not know I am a vampire.” Elisabeth looked away and scoffed softly. “Why does it matter if he does? I have no problem with it, do you have a problem with what I am?” Stammering Juliet straightens her skirt as a blush began to form on her face. “I-I have no problem with what you are, it is simply a national risk if he was to tell people what you are.” Elisabeth watched Juliet’s flushed face and concluded she was telling the truth. “So, I am a risk to society then? God forbid if another person like me was to come into this world.” She said sarcastically as she got up from her chair chuckling. “could you imagine Juliet? If there was someone like me floating around out there, lost and alone…. like me.” Elisabeth goes quite for a moment as her own words sink in. “We have checked, there are none like you Elisabeth that we have found though we are still looking for your-.” Elisabeth then shushed Juliet. “I have no husband, I have no family, all I have is this room and your presence during the night.” Elisabeth then looked at the clock as it struck five a.m. causing her to sigh. “It seem our night is done Mrs Van Helsing, give my regards to Marcus won’t you?” Elisabeth said is a sad tone as she kept her gaze away from Juliet. “I will, good morning Elisabeth and sleep well.” And with that Juliet packed her belonging left Elisabeth in her glass box. Laying on the bed that was in the room Elisabeth stared at the roof before turning to guard standing watch over her. “tell me, have you ever been in love? Like hopelessly and naively in love? I have and let me tell you it never ends the way you want it to...Death do us part they say...lies I say.” huffing softly she turns onto her back and scowls darkly. “He promised me that he would always find his way back to me, that no matter what not even death would separate us...all lies...” Elisabeth’s dark scowl soon turned into a sorrowful expression. “He wasn’t a true man then Miss.” The guard said with a rough voice. “True men keep their promises Miss.” Elisabeth turned back to the guard as she gave him a curious look. “You think so? So you believe men should keep their word?” The guard nodded as he smiled slightly at her causing her to smile back. “Oh I believe you and I are going to get along swimmingly.”

Part two, 

If anyone has any notes or requests, please do not hesitate to message me.

It had been 2 days since Elisabeth had awoken and she was still confused with the world around her, why were all these people watching her? Why was she locked in the glass room? Why has she only been given a red thickened liquid instead of food?  No one would answer her questions except Juliet and even then the information was limited. “Când voi pleca de aici?” She asked softly as she watched Juliet wrote in a note book opposite Elisabeth, Juliet looked up to Elisabeth and adjusted her glasses. “Nu știm, cred că încă mai au niște teste pentru tine înainte să ne gândim să te reunim în lume.” Juliet stated as she returned to writing in her book, Elisabeth growled slightly as she stood up and banged against the glass with her fists. “ Ce teste trebuie să facă?! ei au fost încearcă la mine ca un fel de animal, fără a spune un cuvânt! Nici măcar nu mi-au dat de mâncare!” Juliet could tell that Elisabeth was frustrated, she would feel the same too if she was in the same predicament. With a soft sigh Juliet stood up and walked closer to the glass. “motivul pentru care nu s-au dat alimente este pentru că nu aveți nevoie de ea, nu ați fost doar pic curios de ce nu au fost foame, dar sete?” Elisabeth looked at Juliet with a confused expression before looking over to the bottle of red liquid that had been sitting at the desk in the room. "Ce mi-ai dat?...” Elisabeth said slowly before her eyes went black. "Ești sigur că vrei să știi acum?” Juliet’s voice was soft but cold as she looked at the bottle. Elisabeth walked up to it and touched some of the liquid that had dripped onto the table and rubbed it between her fingers before inhaling the smell. “Sânge... Mi-ai făcut sânge... De ce?" Elisabeth’s shocked expression only saddened Juliet as she had to tell her the truth. “Elisabeth nu te-ai întrebat de ești în viață de atâta timp? De ce nu ai nici un rid pe față? De ce nu mai tânjești după mâncare?" Elisabeth started to feel a heaviness to her chest as the words of Juliet start to set in. "Nici un om nu poate face lucrurile pe care le poți face Elisabetei, nici o creatură vie nu poate..." Bloody tears start to form in Elisabeth’s eyes as she looked at Juliet. "Nici o creatură vie... Nu trăiesc... Oare? Ce sunt eu Juliet?..." The tears start to fall down her face as she realised what she was. "Ești o elisabetei vampir, o creatură nemuritoare a nopții." There was then a cold silence in the room as Elisabeth took in everything, all the memories up to the point it went blank. “am devenit așa?” Elisabeth said softly as she looked up at Juliet who had returned to her chair.  “Credem că soțul tău a încercat să te întoarcă din război și crezând că ești mort, te-a închis într-un loc sigur unde timpul nu te-ar afecta. poate ai nevoie doar de mai mult timp." Elisabeth nodded slowly as she wiped her blood tears off her cheeks with her sleave. “Dacă e un vampir ca mine, unde e? De ce m-ar abandona așa? Ar fi încă în viață, da? Deci, unde este?” Elisabeth then slowly rose from the ground sighing as she sat in a chair close to the glass. Încă nu l-am localizat, Elisabetei, dar vă asigur că îl vom găsi.” Juliet then got up and placed her hand on the glass close to Elisabeth. “Îți promit asta.” Elisabeth chuckled softly before she placed her hand over Juliet’s. “O să te țin de doamna Van Helsing.” They both smile as the alarm goes off to signal dawn approaching.  “Până data viitoare, Van Helsing.” Juliet then moved away and smiled. “Până data viitoare, Dracula.

The Countess Dracula

What if Dracula’s wife did not die as he was lead to believe?.... based on the bbc tv show Dracula (2020)

All she could hear was foot steps against tile in the distance and a quiet argument that was drowned out by a rapid thud in her ears before the argument stopped as well as the foot steps. “Is she awake and stable?” A dulled masculine voice said as the woman adjusted to the light being shone in her face. “She is awake but stable? We are yet to see.” Another voice said in answer to the other. She tried to shield her eyes away from the light but was unable to the sudden feeling of metal wrapped around her wrists. “ Ce-i cu asta? Unde mă aplec?” The woman muttered as she looked at the metal restraints that attached her to the wall of a glass room before wincing at how dry her throat. “Ah hello there madam, I am sure you are very confused as to where you are yes?” The man said as he walked up to the glass that divides him and the woman. “Tu cine esti? De ce vorbești așa?” The woman asked as she looked at him, her simply smiled at her as he observed her figure and face intensively. “Can someone get a translator here please we can’t understand a word she is saying.” The second man said in an irritated tone before a thin woman rushed in, first nodding to the two men in front of her then turned and bowed to the woman. “Bună ziua contesa mea! Este plăcerea mea să te cunosc, sper că te simți confortabil aici, dar mă îndoiesc că va face cătușele. Eu sunt Juliet Sumsbery.” Juliet smiled brightly as she looked upon the woman. Slowly standing the Countess looked upon Juliet with a curiosity. “Vorbești limba mea, deși nu ești de poporul meu, sunt impresionat. Unde sunt Juliet? De ce sunt aici? De ce tu și ceilalți doi bărbați purtați haine atât de ciudate?” Juliet bit her lip as her face drained of most of its colour when she turned to the men before turning back to the Countess. Nu-ți amintești ai ajuns aici, contesă?” The woman sighed as she grabbed a chair and sat in front of the Countess. “Ai fost găsit într-un castel abandonat din Alpii Transilvaniei acum câteva zile, erai într-o cutie de sticlă... Credem că a fost sicriul tău..." the Countess face contorted, unable to process what the woman had just said. “Inițial am crezut că ai murit, dar imediat ce am deschis și ți-am examinat corpul, unul dintre oamenii de știință și-a tăiat degetul mare accidental... Se pare că ai tras odată ce ai mirosit sângele și l-ai secat pe omul sângelui înainte de a leșinu. Noi inițial te-am pus într-un ceil înainte de a face această cameră pentru tine." Tears began to form in the Countess’s eyes as she started to remember flashes of what transpired. “Îți amintești ai intrat în sicriu? Cât timp ai fost acolo?" The countess then looked up to Juliet. “Nu... Mi Nu știu de cât timp sunt în sicriu, nu-mi amintesc am ajuns acolo și nici de ce... Știi cât timp?" Juliet gulped lightly as she looked into the countess’s eyes with sadness. “Credem că ești în sicriul de sticlă de vreo 420 de ani..." the countess fell to her knees as she fell into shock before screaming loudly in anguish causing Juliet and the two men to back away from her. “We are truely sorry if this news causes you some pain Madam.” One of the men said sympathetically as he walked up to the glass. “W-where...is...my....husband?” The countess said slow as she slowly looked up to the man with bloody tears staining her cheeks. “Ah so you do know English!” The other man said abruptly before getting a stern look from Juliet. “I..know little.” She muttered. “Where...is...my...husband.” The countess asked one last time. Juliet walked up to the glass to join the man. “We do not know where the Count Dracula is I am sorry Countes-.”  The Countess cuts her off abruptly. “Elisabeth... you may call me Elisabeth.”
