"Theres a reason why I turned you first" He replied as he pulled back wipping his mouth as he looked into her eyes. As thunder clapped outside he felt the last bit of blood in his mouth get swallowed as he looked down at her. Knowing something was going on inside of her he pulled back and opened the door as two skeleton knights stepped out to guard the door before he looked back. "You may spend the night here..." He replied as he closed the door as the two skeletons stepped out infront of the door.

Tara let out a small sigh as he pulled back from her she let her eyes regain focus as she looked back at Dracula. She looked into the room as he opened the door, smiling at his comment,
"I was going to stay here whether you asked me to or not... There are alot of unused rooms you know!"
She said, winking at him before glancing nervously at the skeleton guards, thinking about how she wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of them.

"Than my castle is your palace... Make yourself at home." He replied as he shut the door as he walked along the spiraling staircase that led up in the open air, (It was a walkway only supported at the bottom with no walls and no ceiling.
As he walked he heard the organs being played by the many ghouls of the castle. As he pondered if she would meet them or not he laughed as he listed them off. "Theres the hydra in the waterways below the castle... The minotaur in the forest... the Golem made out of skeletons in the laboratory... the succubus in the theater... the waterways are basically infested with mutated fish... yeah theres alot out there..." Dracula chuckled out as he looked out.

Tara smiled, glancing around her before following him up the staircase. The sudden start of the Organs made her jump and almost fall off the spiral staircase, but she reached out and grabbed hold of Dracula's arm just in time, regaining her balance and continuing to wander up the stairs. She listened as he began to list the various ghouls, trying to memorise them,
"Wow... thanks for the warning!"
She said with a grin. As they continued to walk she slowed down, looking up at the starry night sky for a second before glancing back down, she didn't want to loose her footing again, as, although it wouldn't kill her, the fall would definetly cause some sort of injury! Because of the open air she let out a smile, stopping where she was and looking around her,
"Care for a late night fly?"
She asked him, the black feathered wings sprouting out of her back again, although this time there were white feathers dotted around, just like the blonde streaks in her black hair.

"No thank you... I'd just like to think..." Dracula responded as the organs suddenly picked up with the sounds of the wolves. Knowing that the scene must be something as if it was a Horror movie Dracula stopped on the stone steps as he looked up ahead at a smaller pagoda standing atop a tower with no bearings. Lit in a dark purple flame for light he smiled a bit as he reached his throne room. As he walked closer the skies turned darker untill it seemed they were in a different dimension, the clouds were below them and nothing but the blood red moon was above shinning down. As the thunder clapped below them he placed his hand on the door as he pushed it open showing a rather Darker room lit in the purple flame. "Never seen this room have you?"

Tara shrugged at his reply, leaping off the side of the staircase, her wings opening up besides her, beating away to keep her in the air as she turned and flew back towards Dracula, falling into time with him as she flew to the side and slightly behind him, her wings beating directly behind him. As they reached another room she looked up, sensing the change in the air and noticing the sky difference in color, and her eyes were drawn towards the red moon, she opened her mouth in surprise, suddenly hearing a clap of thunder below her. She returned to the stairs, her Wings yet again turning to ash and falling away from her back. She ran up the stairs until she was besides Dracula, slightly scared by the appearence of the moon. As he opened the door she looked in, shaking her head at his question,
"No... I never knew it was here..."
She muttered stepping into the darkness, shadows dancing across her face from the flicker of the purple flame.

"Thats because nobody knows of this place... this is pergatory... the middle ground between heaven and hell... Look in the horizon, that vortex gives the souls of the innocents to the judgement of purgatory... condemned a life of nothingness... beutiful music the souls make while crying out to the blood moon... Oh yes thats the moon made of blood...." Dracula replied as he gleemed with joy at being in his home element. "Thunder even doesnt dare touch these places... even the forces of nature cringe at this palace!" Dracula replied as he looked back into the room as many little creatures skitter back to the shadows as he lights more torches in the purple flame.

Tara listened intently to his description, stepping closer to him for comfort as she glanced back out at the moon and the sky.
"Purgatory... but why do you come here?"
She asked him, trying to pretend not to be scared about everything around her, she didn't want to appear like a wimp to him, after all she had been his first change... she really didn't want him to regret it. At his next comment she followed him back into the room, happy there was more light in there now,
"I can see why it is avoided... not one of the most beautiful places in the world is it?"
She said sarcastically, still following Dracula closely, not wanting to be left behind or get lost in this place.

"Why do I come? Ahh... but the screams of the soulless... can you not hear them? They scream.... the bloodless, the soulless... intertwine so we may see them in the purest form..." Dracula stated as a minion made of pure blood emerged from a shadow before it disappeared. "The beasts of purgatory shine in the bloodiest forms that..." Dracula chuckled out as another lightning strikes upwards

Tara's eyes turned dark and the blonde streaks in her hair finally faded away as she listened to the noises around her. Although she was now in her cruel, evil form her fears still followed her, and she put her arm around him as she watched the creature out of blood appear,
"So much for the bloodless..."
She muttered as she tilted her head to one side, watching him as he disappeared again. At the lightening strike her head shot to the side, where it had come from before looking back around her.
"Is this where you go? When you have no where else, is this where you go?"
She questioned him, remembering times she had come but he hadn't been around the castle, or the town, or anywhere she could sense.

Letting out a grand laugh Dracula sighed as he light the last torch in the room. "Is this where I go... Bah, This is where I am, this is home, no mere mortal of any accomplishment has even entered this domain, creatures of the night cannot enter without my will being so, Not even you could enter... That is why you couldnt find me..." Dracula added with a toothy grin showing his fangs. As he turned around another echo of plea's escaped the void that was on the other side of his pagoda. (In other words he has a small throne room on top of a giant pillar and a giant tunnel into the abyss is behind it). Through the ruins near his throne he watched the skies churn with energy. "So tell me Tara... Who, and What are you... I know your a vampire but why seek me out? Why do you try to slay me...." Dracula added as he placed a dim lit light on a table for her to see the grandure of the room. The ruins, the throne room in all its splendure.

As he began to light the remainding torches, Tara wandered around, running her hand across anything that didn't seem to be living or moving, and careful not to touch any of the creatures that were trying to blend into the background. She listened as he spoke, ignoring the sound of pleas that had seemingly come out of no where. At his question she turned and walked back towards him, standing infront of the table with the light so her face was visible, her immaculate white skin looking even more as if it was made out of Porcelene.
"Dracula... every part of my original being still exists inside me, and every part of that wishes you dead for taking me away from everything I had ever lived for and for the pain you caused my family... you see, Angels do not... cannot die. They simply change, they are reborn if you like. When an angel reaches the age a normal being would die at, it fades away into the darkness. It is like death, the body itself dies and rots beneath the ground, but the soul and mind pass on into another body, that of a new born child. You took away my chance to change, my chance to fit it, to see the world once more from the eyes of a child... You took away my right to survive!"
She explained, not moving her eyes from his through the whole of her speach. She hoped he would understand, she had explained it as well as she could ever possibly do. Sighing she stepped back away from the light and glanced around her again.
"Why did you bring me up here?"
She asked him as her gaze travelled over the walls around them.

"Living another life... What I wouldnt give for that myself, but no im cursed to plague humanity and plague every living being on this planet. Do you angels think so highly of yourselvs without taking into consideration how much pain we are in? We gave up the life of being happy to exist infinitly. I gave you my grace as the first turned to not wish of thirst, to exist in sunlight, to have the immortal life without so much as pain of losing a loved one. You see your still a child, but of a different matter...." Dracula added as he looked over Tara with narrowing eyes as the screams of the dead seemed to hush with the sound of his voice changing to a more stern tone. "I brought you here of my own business..." Dracula added as he walked over to a small crest that was on the floor. As he picked it up he looked back over at tara waiting for her response.

"If you suffer why do you push it upon others? Why not let them live there own life the way it is supposed to be survived, why take away peoples rights to life just because you have lost your own?"
She asked him, glaring at him, her blue eyes returning once again. She hated her appearance change, it bugged her, the fact she had no way of controlling how, when and what changed. she looked at the crest with interest as he picked it up, having not noticed it on the floor before. She stepped towards him, looking down at the crest.
"What do you mean you brought me here of your own business? Wh..."
She was going to ask him what the crest was, but had decided to give him a chance to answer her first question first.

"Maybe you should rethink your position, Your one of us now, you cant go running away every time you see my face. Like I said before, I turned you for a reason... And maybe I pushed myself on you so I could be with you? Remember that little boy in the village of Cordova before it was over run? His name was Mathias, That was me... " He replied as he tossed the crest up in the air catching it lightly as the screams started up again with the ambiance of thunder.
