"Than come here... Come sit by my side" Dracula replied as he patted a small spot next to him on the throne as he glanced down at Tara with his grey eyes.

Tara stood and wandered around to the spot, staring at it as if she expected it to do something. She knew this was her last chance to turn and walk out, raise her strengths, return and complete what she had been trying to do for years. But she was tired of fighting, tired of training, pushing herself, tired of her continuous failure. Closing her eyes and taking a deep breath she opened her eyes and looked at him, before sitting down in the space besides him.

As she sat down Dracula pulled out a small black box. Opening the box up he placed a small emblem ring in her hand as he smiled faintly. "There was a reason i choosed you first..." He replied as the screams and thunder hushed in the entire castle.

She looked at him, feeling the shape of the ring in her hand before looking down at it. She held it lightly in her fingers, turning it around between her fingers as she gazed down at the design,
"What do you mean?"
She asked him in reply to his comment, pulling her gaze away from the ring in her hand and looking back at him.

"Ever since I was called Mathias I was appealed to you... something drew me near..." Dracula responded as the organs begun to pick up from the castle below them, as the thunder seemed to pick up as well it echoed in the night. "You can be renowned as Dracula's Bride... miss Dracul if you wish, all you have to do is... Accept my gift." Dracula added

After he spoke she watched him in silence, trying to work out whether he was just messing her around to stop her ever trying to kill him again. But after a while she came to the conclusion he was infact being honest. Her eyes went back to the ring, flipping it over in her fingers as she examined it more closely. After flipping it over a few times in her hand she looked back up at him for a few moments, before back at the ring. Slowly she slipped the ring down on her finger. It was the perfect fit. Smiling at its appearance upon her hand she looked back up at Dracula, smiling at him.
"Dracula's Angelic Bride..."
She teased, looking back down at her hand.

As the music of the night seemed to play a evil melody to the tune of dracula's first bride. "Music of a celebration..." Dracula mumbled out as the sounds of the night echoed more and more.

Tara smiled, hearing the haunting melody drifting up to the throne room,
"How do they know?"
She asked him, listening carefully to the music, it may be haunting, but she couldn't deny it was beautiful. She found herself losing herself in the music and tried to keep herself there and concentrate on what was going on around them.

"They know all that I know.... They are the children of the night... remember that..." Dracula added as he stepped over to a cabinet taking out a bottle of wine pouring two glasses.

Tara nodded slowly, thinking about what he had said and whether it was a good or bad thing that they knew everything he did. She stood and walked over to him, picking up one of the glasses,
"To us?"
She asked as she held her glass in the air for a toast.

"To us" He clinked the glass as he drunk down the wine as the organ begun playing a more methodic melody. As if symbolizing her choice to follow Dracula.

Tara smiled and sipped at the wine slowly, looking around her. It had to be nearing morning now, after all she had arrived quite late at night to make sure she would catch him while he was in.
"We really should be heading down... the suns going to be rising soon..."
She muttered, thinking about the staircase that wound itseway down and hoping the sun hadn't already made its way into the sky. After all she may be able to withstand the light, but that was only in her angelic form, and not being able to change forms herself she wouldn't be able to show herself at the current moment to the sun. Finishing the wine she placed the glass on the table and walked over towards the door they had entered through, trying to see if she could sense what was going on on the other side. But the doors and walls had some sort of power on them which stopped her powers getting through, even when she placed her hand upon the door, it seemed the other side didn't exist.

"The sun? Here? In pergatory? Hahaha nice joke m'dear, but the sun never shines up here... This is a different dimension..." Dracula added with a smile as she fumbled with the door. As the organs stopped the clock tower chimed twice symbolizing it was morning. "Aye, it is morning... in the human realm..." Dracula added with a smile as the chims stopped happy of his bride.

Tara stopped her battle trying to get through the door with her powers and turned around, looking at him with her eyebrows rose.
"So we have to stay up here for the rest of the day?"
She asked not understanding how they could get back down to the 'human realm' without burning to death from the sunlight. After all it was an open air staircase they travelled down. Letting out a sigh she leaned back against the door, looking around her again as if expecting a way out to appear out of no where. The screams may have stopped for now but she was sure the spirits weren't planning on keeping quiet for the whole of the day.

"As the spirits rest, we enjoy the fruits of immortality... Nobody else who dare harm us may appear here... Not angels, demons, nor vampires, Nothing can reach us here...." Dracula replied as the wind picked up as if the dimensional rift shifted to a more realistic vision as dawn started to envelop the castle in its sunshine. "Follow me, for a new day..." Dracula replied as he grabbed her as he stood up as they teleported in a thickening mist into the underwater catacombs beneath the castle. As the stench of filth and decaying bodies filled the air he stepped over to a solid wall, placing his hand on a rock a small compartment led downward into a room filled with royalty, cushions, all that one would find in the grandest of palaces in the west. Smelling the freshest fish and food that the land has to offer he smiled as he offered her a seat down near a already roasting fire. The compartment was large enough for a small family to live in, such fiting as a secret room for Dracula to hide. Although his real place for his slumber was much further deeper and requires the slaying of many beasts to enter. As the sun overhead climbed out the birds chirped away echoing in the vast catacombs of tunnels. Although drowned out in the sounds of the dead groaning from their sleepless life. Dracula felt somewhat whole as he looked at Tara, Knowing something else was on his mind he drifted back to the life in Cordova. The time before he reemerged as this beast. "Say Tara... what do you remember of Cordova?" Dracula added as the fire crackled infront of him. Remember that he left the entrance open he walked over and placed the crest on the wall as the air thickened like in the other dimension as if it was a protective bubble for Dracula and the ones of his choosing.
