*Dracula stirred in his sleep. After a moment he opened his eyes and he no longer was laying in his coffin, in his Parisian castle. No, he was in his old home, the one where he had lived with Elisabeta. Poienari Castle.
He stood by the window, overlooking the Râul Doamnei. The Lady's River, named so after his wife had thrown herself into the water and had drowned.*
((Hehe guys, I have been researching Vlad like crazy.))

((Win.))
*Elisabeta stood at the far end of the room, her dark hair spilling over the thin material of the long white gown, her back to him as she spoke softly.*
"You didn't come, Vlad. Why didn't you come back to me? Why did you leave me...to suffer?"

*Dracula turned around and stared at his wife, his eyes wide with shock.*
"Elisabeta ... I ... I couldn't find you. And when I came back she, Sylvia, was gone."

*She didn't turn back to him, just shrugging slightly.*
"It's just like before..."
*Elisabeta wrapped her arms around herself as if to warm her pale body.*
"The water is so cold, Vlad....I'm so cold..."

*Dracula walked closer to his wife, his fear and guilt keeping him from touching her. He removed his jacket and held it out to her.*
"It's okay, everything is going to be okay."

*Elisabeta took a step away from him, shunning his comfort and turning further from him.*
"No. It's not. I am lost. But you can not be troubled. You have others. They will comfort you."

*Dracula threw the jacket on a chair and stared at Elisbeta's back like a beaten puppy. How could she think that? How could she think that she meant nothing to him, while it was her death that made him what he was. Made him incapable to truly love another.*
"Those others are nothing compared to you. One tried to kill me and another one already has too many men falling over her. Everything means nothing, if I can't have you."

*Elisabeta paused, looking back over her should, but not meeting his eyes.*
"And...you would have me, no matter the cost?"
*She swallowed and looked back to the wall in front of her.*
"For believe me, my love, the cost will be great."

"No cost would be too great, not for having you return to me."
*Dracula reached out to Elisabeta, his hand hovering inches away from her shoulder.*
"I will always have you."

*Elisabeta sighed gently.*
"You think you know... What you are, what's to come."
*She turned slowly to meet his gaze, her belly swollen in late term pregnancy.*
"You haven't even begun."

*Dracula looked from her swollen belly up to her eyes. He did understood what this meant.*
"Then tell me."
*He was pleading.*

*Her lips started to tremble as she tried to form words.*
"I...I can't..."
*Suddenly a red stain began to grow on the lower front of her gown. She clutched her belly as she fell to her knees. Her voice was strained as her eyes sought his in panic.*
"Vlad...help me...please...it hurts..."

*Dracula knelt down next to Elisbeta and did not know what to do. The familiarness of the situation hit him hard. This wasn't the first time he saw his wife pregnant and bleeding.*
"Where does it hurt? What do you feel?"
*He breathed.*

"Everywhere..." *she whimpered.*
*Elisabeta tried to take deep breaths, looking up at Dracula with pain etching her features.*
"Promise me...forever, Vlad. I need you to say it. Swear to me."
*She shut her eyes tightly in anguish as the pool of blood grew larger beneath her.*

((I'd buy what Drac's saying, except that he said pretty much all the same stuff to Irene.))
