AU ending to Dracula

Seriously, mundane? Are you quite certain this is what you intend to do? Just days ago you wanted to go along the route of the new BBC show until the end of that first episode. I am also not at all amused at you calling me a bride.

I am a man, I have my pride. It was Quincy and I that ended the beast.

Yes yes, I know, you and every other fool believes the man to still be alive, I do not. It helps me to sleep at night, but to give me the same curse as my beloved Mina? That is just cruel.

I do not submit, I do not accept, and I can say you only have one thing we can agree on, I would not handle the change well. I said in my own hand, I would take the curse 'for Mina' to keep her from being alone, not that I came home cursed and none noticed. Do you think so little of Dr. Van Helsing?

Your not listening. I'm going back to my papers.

....Oh Jonathan. [Her feelings are so very mixed over seeing him as a vampire. This isn't an existence she would have ever wished on him.]

Edited 2020-01-13 09:40 (UTC)

[ Its not an existence he wants or wanted at all... and yet. ]

Mina! Oh darling, Mina, I'm so sorry.

I'm the one who is sorry, dearest.

[How can she not be sorry? Especially when her mun has informed her of how he finally turned into a vampire.]

[ His mun was a jerk for that turning. ]

May I see you sometime, darling? It has been so very long.

Are you sure you want to see me? [She is nervous for the prospect since she doesn't want him to see what she has become over the years. She hasn't dedicated her extended life to fighting evil like Jonathan seems too.]

Of course I do, why would I not?

[ It was easier to fight before his faith fully died. These days he feels aimless. ]

I'm just not the woman I use to be... [ She just doesn't want to disappoint him more than she might have already...]

Nor I the man I used to be. We have all changed, it has been a very long time. I often wonder if you could still love who I have become...but, honestly I was lead to believe you were dead so long I never thought to look for you. We could have gone through this together...

But! All the same, yes I want to know the new Wilhelmina.

...I never stopped loving you, Jonathan. [She always did regret how things ended between them, but in her world he remained human. She just couldn't bear to let him see her, feeling it best to allow him the chance to move on and live an ordinary life even if it were without her.]

It's been so long, I think I would like to see you again...but I feel I must confess that there is someone else in my unlife. [ And her mun feels bad for not putting her AU bio in her journal.]

[ He couldn't help but feel a pain in his chest hearing her say that, but he was used to pain. He often jested that pain kept him alive.

He did look a touch sad at that, but he nodded.] My dear Mina, as long as you are happy, I am happy. I would like to see you, and in seeing you accept you have another.

[At this point the only thing stopping the tears from falling is that she doesn't want to turn things into a bloody mess. Vampire or not, he is still the man she remembers him to be. Her sweet Jonathan. She feels she can still see his heart after all these years.]

I would like to see you too. It really has been far too long.

[ He doesn't see the young man he had once been, even if in truth he hadn't changed all that much. He feels that naive boy he had been died along side his wife and child. It helped keep him sane to think as much. ]

Name a time and place and I will not be late. [ Even if its Mina, he was so damn careful about never giving up where he lived these days. Thanks Van Helsing, for making his paranoia worse. ]

Perhaps the park would be a good place to meet?

[Despite it being Jonathan, she can't exactly give him her location either. Not just because Alan could be around, but there were other vampires and one of them happened to be their mutual sire. A detail she doesn't wish to share and ruin the moment with her beloved Jonathan.]

How about the bookstore near the park?

I'd rather not be out in the rain, we are due rain tomorrow.

I think I know exactly the one you are thinking of. I shall see you tomorrow then.

[Hopefully she wouldn't come to regret this decision, but again it is Jonathan. How can she truly stay away?]

Until tomorrow, Mina.

Broken bride indeed. I see you still cling to the old vampire hunter's teachings.

[Such a shame, you had such promise dear Jonathan.]

I hate you so much, I am neither a bride or broken, I hate the lot of you. And he has a name, you vile hell spawn.

[ He was a hypocrite, he was hell spawn to now.]

Yes, I am quite aware of your feelings toward me. A shame really. You had potential, dear Jonathan. Do you really wish to hear your precious mentor's name upon my tongue?

[ He's not afraid of the dead or his incessant descendants.]

I will show you all the potential I truly have, you monster. You would be wise to stay as far away from me as possible, I have hurt you before, I WILL do it again. I have learned so much more since last we saw one another.

And as much as I hate to say it, yes, quite right, do not invoke his name. You are unworthy.

[ He wants to just go back across the ocean now. Far from his maker.]

You aren't the only one to have learn some things over the years. You've thought me dead once and yet here I remain. I should think neither of us have room to take the other for granted.

[ He can't help but roll his eyes as if Van Helsing was some sort of saint. Heh! Don't make him laugh! ]

I thought you dead, yes, and you stole my wife, again. Had I known then I would have come for you then.

[ And yet, he lacks conviction in his voice, he knows... he knows Vlad didn't steal Mina.]

I do not take you for granted, I take you for nothing.

Again? She made a choice after she crossed over. Don't be bitter about this, eternity is quite a long time to hang on to old grudges. The past should remain in the past.

I'm sure you have nothing at all to do with it.

Please, I'll hold grudges as long as I wish. Namely when it comes to you.

Contrary to popular belief, my chosen do have a choice. You stand as proof, otherwise you would not be able to throw your bile and venom at me, if you did not.

Says the bastard that left me as a snack for his brides?

Such an unruly brood they were, but at the time I didn't have a huge selection to chose from. I have learned since then and have made better choices with whom I share my dark kiss.

This sounds like a trick.

[ He doesn't trust it]

It isn't. I would introduce you to them, but I fear you might upset them with your unrest. That would just not do. Especially when they have all been doing so well in this new world we live in.

[He can't have you upsetting the pecking order, Jonny boy.]

Then why bother me at all, Count? Leave me to my solitude. Abraham taught me enough to get by without the likes of you, nor would I wish to bother you and your own, as that is clearly what I am.

[ What... wait, did he just get upset? Jonny makes up your mind. ]

[Because you are still one of his, Jonny!]

Because you are here, Jonathan, whether either of us like or not. Survival and existence are two different things. What exactly have you been taught? How to exist? Or how to Survive?

[ He is one of Abraham's... ]

I was taught how to hunt, that is all I need. I have to repent for the things I have done.

[... Repent, he doesn't even believe anymore.]

Hunting is not the only thing there is to learn. Ah repent, how quaint. [ He's not even affected by religious things anymore. He's outgrown that shortcoming over the years. ]

Do you even believe in such things anymore?

[ And he's going to call you on it, Jonny! ]

It is all I need to know, it has gotten me by this long just fine.

Do not question my faith, it was all that saved me from the likes of you.

[ Yet... that tones not as firm as it was at the start.]

Ah so there it is, you have merely been existing then. [ The words are spoken solemnly. Really this is a shame. ]

You are allowed to live despite with the hunters have told you.

I am a monster, I have no right to live, yet I am not brave enough to go into the long night yet.

And what monstrous acts have you partaken in?

[He's a monster, he's knows a monster when he sees one. You Jonny boy are incapable. ]

I don't want to talk about it, Count Dracula.

Damming your existence, does not make a monster, Jonathan. You've seen a fracture of the acts that I have committed, can you really compare acts to mine?

Edited 2020-01-16 04:38 (UTC)

I said I am a monster, not a complete devil.

[ He replied slacking his shoulders some.]

I wont tell you, not here, not like this. I deserve this pain, not her. Never her.

Oh a complete devil, I am to be eh? [Okay that amuses him, but he won't dispute it. He knows his deeds as he has committed many of them over the five hundred years of his life.]

Very well, then that only mean one thing.

[The words are ominous when he speaks them. ]

I'm sure your wrong, but enlighten me, count.

Clearly you and I need to have more in depth chat. It's time.

I'm going to hate myself for this.... Hotel Chelsea, ring for room 52.

No more than you normally do. I shall see you promptly then.

I'll be here.

[ Time to stash the weapons, and put on nicer clothes. ]

[ Knock knock! ]
