A Young blonde girl stood outside the large Black Iron Gates that guarded the large Castle beyond. Her bright blue eyes gazed up at the magnificent building, reflecting the little light that was left in the day. As she watched the castle she changed, her hair grew darker till it was as black as the night that was beginning to engulf the town below her, and her skin turned as pale as the snow that topped the mountains in the distance. Her canine teeth lengthened, ending in a point sharp enough to pierce even the strongest skin, and large black feathered wings sprouted from her back, stretching out to there full length before folding in to rest besides her. Tara could feel the pull of his presence already, but this time, she was sure, she was ready. It had been a year since she had last stood in this position, last attempted this. But she had learnt more about controlling her feelings, about ignoring the pull that had caused her to fail all those times before. But she still doubted herself, she still doubted she was strong enough, but there was only one way to test herself, it was to be here, to see him again. Taking one last glance behind her at the darkening town below her, she caught a glimpse of the large white house, which appeared more like a cottage from up here, in the distance. It still shone a light upon the town, ignoring the coming darkness of the night, and sending hope to the villagers, hope that maybe tonight would not be a night of bloodshed, hope that tonight the vampires would slumber. She took the hope and embraced it, sending a tingling sensation throughout her body as she ran through her plan once again. Closing her eyes and taking a deep breath, her wings opened out and she leapt into the air, rising above the gates easily and shooting towards the castle like a bullet made out of the darkness.

Walking about the ruins of the keep of darkness, Dracula stired from his many years of slumber. As he walked along the darken halls he glanced out into the moonlight as the howls of the wolves echoed in the darkness...

There was the sound of Smashing windows a few metres away as flew in. She hit the wall and fell to the ground, her wings changing into dust as she hit the floor. A few moments later she stood up, putting her hand to her head where she had hit it, it hadn't been as succsesful an entrance as she had hoped, but it would do. She spied the dark figure of Dracula ahead and bit her lip, concentrating on blocking the feelings out before she marched towards him.

Side stepping back Dracula looked over the girl infront of him. Eyeing her up curiously he turned around as he eyed her up. "Ah... what is this....?" Dracula spoke as his voice honed a thicked tone throughout the halls of his keep.

"You know exactly what this is!"
She said coldly, shoving him backwards with all her strength. As she touched him her eyes returned blue and her hair back to blonde for a few seconds where the feelings had gotten through before back to her dark, Vampire Self as she glared at Dracula.

"Now come now tara... you really want to do this?" Dracula replied as he spoke in a soothing tone trying to calm her down. Placing his hands on her shoulders he narrowed his eyes at her. "Youve come to kill me again eh?" He added with a chuckle as he turned his back to her looking out the window to the moonlit village below.

As he touched her shoulders she closed her eyes, concentrating on the block she had created before she entered, she would do this, she would do it this time, she couldn't fail again, another failure would ruin her, her hope would run out... She heard him turn around and she opened her eyes, staring at his black as tears formed slowly infront of her eyes.
"You took my life so Its only fair I take yours..."
She said quietly, trying to sound confident but failing as she struggled to stop the feelings getting through to her.

"And what point do you prove in slaying me? Im already dead... is that not enough torture?" Dracula added as he glanced over his shoulder at Tara. As he felt something wrong within her he sighed as he held his hand to the ruined draps lingering over the window peign.

As he spoke she moved her hand down the dagger she had packed and drew it, ready to attack. But she had made the mistake of listening to what he was saying.
"I... I..."
She choked, as she tried to think of an answer. That was all it took, a question she couldn't answer and the barrier was broken. She had thought... hoped she was powerful enough this time, but she hadn't been. Her eyes returned to the Angelic blue color and her hair back to the light blonde as the dagger slipped out of her fingers and landed upright in the floor, point down. The tears continued to well up in her eyes as she leaned back against the wall behind her, pushing her hair back out of her face as she thought about what to do now,

Walking closer Dracula picked the dagger up and handed it to her, as he gripped the blade inside her hands he sighed as he brushed the tears from her face. Walking closer he drove the dagger into his side with her hand at the hilt. "See... nothing...." Dracula responded as he pulled back showing the blade within his side were his kidney's would have been...

Tara shook her head, looking down as he drove the blade into his side. She hadn't expected an effect, and as he pulled back she removed the dagger, looking at the blood covering the blade,
"Who said that was where I was going to stab you?"
She asked, moving the blade up before holding it lightly over the spot where his heart was,
"And if that failed... I always have these!"
She said, smirking slightly so her white fangs flashed in the little light there was in the castle.

"Planning to bite me? Tara... tara... tara...." Dracula shook his head as he sighed turning his back as he walked down the hall before looking back. "Im going to the dinning hall... do you want to come or not..." Dracula spoke in the thickening fog..

Tara watched him as he walked away, planning on escaping then, leaving again until next time, but when he turned and looked back at her she felt that pulling, that longing again that forced her steps to be towards him rather than away,
"I suppose I could stay a while..."
She muttered quietly, watching him and forcing a smile.

"Listen... I know you hate me, just say it..." Dracula replied as he opened the door to a giant dinning hall. Nodding his head he sighed as he glanced about the tattered macabe style of architecture.

"I ha..."
She began to say, but it seemed like someone had removed her voice, she couldn't say it to him, no matter how much she wished to say it out loud, no matter how much she felt it was true, She couldn't say it, not out loud.
"I ha... I don't hate you!"
She muttered as she looked around the room... It hadn't changed since she had last seen it.
