Magda enjoyed the feeling of grass against her bare skin. She could feel her hair was wet with dew, and without thinking or opening her eyes, she pulled her discarded dress over her like a blanket.
It was still and silent. The sounds of the party were gone. She smiled, still half-asleep and with her eyes still shut, and snuggled closer to the man beside her.
Then came the pain.
Abrubtly, Magda felt herself burst into flames. Her eyes popped open, and she realized with a scream that day had dawned outside Castle Dracula.
In a panic, not caring for her nakedness, Magda ran through the open door of the terrace, beating desperately at her left side, which was all in flames.

With Magda gone, Hallie, Mira and Renn all dragged the naked Sweeney into the forest and had their way with him. Sweeney quickly hopped into his pants and followed Magda into the shade. He tackled her to the ground and rolled her until the fire was out.
"Are you all right?" he asked, concerned.

Magda was in tears. She dragged herself limply inside and huddled in a corner, with her arms wrapped around her knees.
"It hurts... Lucifer, it hurts..."
She suddenly noticed her left arm and screamed all over again.
"My skin!"
She reached up to touch her head.
"My hair! My face!"
Magda's right side appeared to have remained unscathed, but her left side was a scarred ruin.
"Oh... oh no..."

Sweeney sat up, at a loss for what to say. "Do...do you think you will be able to heal?"

"I think so, with time... but still, for now..."
She looked at him desperately.
"Tell me I'm still beautiful!"

He moved over to her right side. "Well, from this angle you are," he responded weakly.

"I need blood," she gasped. "I NEED BLOOD!"

Sweeney put a hand on her unscorched shoulder. "And you shall have it." With that, he walked back into the party, razor in hand.
**A FEW MINUTES LATER**
He walked back with a frightened looking man, pressing his razor to the man's throat. He sat the man down beside Magda.

((Convenient.))
Magda lurched forward and gorged herself on the red torrent bursting forth from the man's throat, breaking his neck as she did so.

((It's Sweeney Todd. He has nothing against murder.))
When she finished, Sweeney smiled comfortingly. "Any better?"

Magda looked up at him, her half-beautiful face smeared with blood.
"Thank you. Would it be too much to ask if you could do this on a regular basis until I get my strength back?"

((Okay.))
"Of course," he said before going to fetch her clothes. As he walked, he tried to ponder a new way to rescue Irene. How could he do it alone without being killed by the vampire—or turned into a vampire himself? Then, for the first time, he felt a new power coursing through his veins. He smirked. Magda had helped, after all.

((Hey guys: While this was going on, Holmes just rescued Irene. ![:-[](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/embarrassed.png) . But for the sake of plot, we can assume you knew about this and were holding back Dracula's guards from chasing them.))

Magda tore open the gash on the man's throat, making it even wider, and drank deep, still shivering.
"You will?" she repeated as she swallowed down another mouthful. "Most mortals cringe at this kind of thing."
