*After Vincent had come back after being over at Aurel's, trying to convince Lune to leave Bijan, he asked a servant of Dracula if there was a room he could stay in. Luckily, there was a room prepared for him.
The servant led him to a nice room. It was smaller then the one he had at Aurel's, but it was a very nice room. Vincent went over to the bed and lied down.*
I'm so tired of it all... Can't she just give him up and be mine, already? *Vincent thought as he closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep.*

*Irene was brought to Vincent's door, her hands tied, by two of Dracula's slaves. After opening the door, one of them called to Vincent*
"We were told you wanted to speak with the prisoner."

*Vincent woke up as the servants brought Irene inside the room.*
"Uh, yes, that's right. Thank you."
*As the sevant bowed their heads and left, Vincent walked over to Irene and grabbed her hands.*
"Are you tied up? That's ridiculous..."
*He quickly untied her and took a step away from her. He was quite certain she didn't want to be near anyone but Francis right now. But Francis wasn't here anymore...*
"Irene, I..." *He started. He actually hadn't got a clue of what to say. He looked sadly at her.*
"I'm very sorry. I know you must hate me for all I've done, but I just wanted to tell you I still consider you a friend. I would like to help you."

*The curtains billowed even though no window or door was open.*

*Irene turned as the curtains billowed, but when nothing was there, she turned back to Vincent*
"Help me? That's really very funny. You're the onle who murdered my husband, just so that Dracula could have his way with me."
*She stepped toward him, her eyes like ice*
"Do you want to hear what he did to me?"

*Vincent stared just as coldly back at her.*
"You know I didn't want to kill Francis. He was my best friend! He was my only friend!"
*He noticed the curtains as well, but saw nothing. However there was this presence he couldn't quite figure out.*
"Dracula gave me a choice, and I decided to help him so that he could help me. I'm not a fool Irene, I know what he wants you for, I know what he did to you. And that's why I want to help you to get out of here!"
*Vincent stared at her for a moment before he continued.*
"Dracula would probably have killed either me, Lune or Aurel if I didn't obey him... He knows how much I care about Lune, and I couldn't give him a reason to hurt her.
I know what I did was wrong. But I did it for her."

"How touching."
*Irene's eyes did not waver from Vincent's face*
"Aurel can fend for himself, you saw it on the night Lune was kidnapped. As for Lune...well, I won't say anything about that. She's a good woman, and she doesn't deserve for her admirer to put her through this."

*Vincent kept watching Irene. This was getting on his nerves. Who was she to talk about things she had no idea about?*
"Look, I know you hate me. And it seems you aren't going to accept any help from a terrible murderer such as myself. Fine then, stay here. Get raped by Dracula every day for all I care! I don't mind!"
*He stared angrily at her.*
"Just face it, Irene. At the moment, I am the only one you can depend on."

You bastard...who are you to get self-righteous at me?
*Irene's tone softened*
"You aren't afraid that Dracula would take his revenge on Lune if you helped me?"

"Of course I am!" *Vincent snapped*
"But I owe this to Francis. And I told you I wouldn't let Dracula hurt you, didn't I?"

"You're a bit late for that", *she whispered.*
*Iren looked away, forcing herself not to cry*
"How would you get me out of here?"

*Vincent looked ashamed.*
"I know... I know..."
*He glanced at her, noticing she was upset. He looked away from her, thinking she didn't want him so see her tears.*
"I'm not sure how I'll get you out of here yet. But I promise you I'll figure something out. Until then, please be strong! For Francis's sake."

*Irene's resolve finally failed her. She sank to the ground, hugging her knees to her chest*
"I-I'll try."
Stay strong. How? How can I keep myself together when I have to feel that brute's hands all over me?

*Vincent was stunned to see her falling to the ground.*
"H-hey..."
*He walked over to Irene and sat down in front of her.*
"You know, there are ways to fight guys off. Next time, kick him in the nuts, even that's painful for creatures like us!" *He said with a grin.*
"Irene... I honestly don't know this kind of horror that monster is putting you through. And I know it must be nearly impossible to find courage around him. But I must say I admire you for being so strong. If you only can hold on for a little longer, I'm sure I'll have something figured out and can get you out of here."

"Do you think I didn't try that?" *Irene screamed.* "Once he placed me on the bed, and I knew there was no way my pleading could reach him, I fought as hard as I could! I kicked at him, scratched his face, bit at his skin. I fought him with a strength that would have freed me from any other man!"
*She paused*
"But he has the strength of ten men. And his eyes...once my struggling had annoyed him, he put me under his spell. I wanted to move, but it was as if my whole body was frozen."
