   Dracula's daughter cont..
Jason sighed heavily, her words held more truth than she knew, the vampires he had contracts with were a merciless bunch, if you failed then you were killed and the target would be given to someone else. He thought to himself that at least Seline was left with a friend instead of neither a friend nor a brother.
“You speak the truth, had I refused I would be dead, along with your brother.”
They arrived at the burial site, he lifted up the blanket to reveal the man’s body, he was laid to rest in a peaceful and honorable way, the way a friend would should he happen to find a dead close friend of his. On the man’s chest was a piece of wood with a few words on it, it wasn’t much but it seemed to be a short message, there was some space at the bottom too.

My dear friend, I am sorry it came to this
But my reasons were just
Had I not killed you, Seline would be alone.
We would both be dead, leaving
Her with no one
I am sorry you were the one to die of
The two of us,
For her sake I would have gladly
Laid down my life for her.

“I left some space at the bottom, in case you’d want to leave a message for him.”
Seline’s voice was now barely above a whisper.
“Thanks…” she trailed off, then pulled out her dirk, and engraved into the wood. It was only one word, but it meant the world to vampires.

Forever…

She glanced back up at Jason and gave a weak smile, then stood.
“Thank you, for bringing me here.”
Jason bowed his head slowly as she spoke to him, he looked up again to meet her gaze, she was trying to hold her feelings back, he could tell.
“It was the least I could do for you, and for him.”
Seline nodded and then began walking through the courtyard, getting to the very old crypts and markers upon dead ground.
The two graves she had stopped at were parallel beside each other, and both shared the same last name. That was not all they shared. As Seline bent beside both of them, she spook softly, dark tears falling down her face.
“Take good care of bro… Mother…Father..”
She composed herself a few minutes after, and stood other, and both shared the same last name. That was not all they shared. As Seline bent beside both of them, she spook softly, dark tears falling down her face.
“Take good care of bro… Mother…Father..”
She composed herself a few minutes after, and stood once more, then left the cemetary, heading towards her apartment.
Jason walked with her, staying at her sde the whole time, he stopped her in the street on the way to her home.
"Would you rather be alone? If so then I can find something else to do."
Seline looked over to Jason, her eyes holding a deep pain.
"It does not concern what I want, but what you want, Jason. Although, I would enjoy your company."
