Hiding in the shadows, her voice a trembling whisper Could it be fate that led you here, to me?
Dracula, I have an offer for you.
As Harrison confronts Dracula, the vampire leader smirks and reveals his latest scheme.
gasps, eyes wide with fear Harrison! What is he planning? We need to escape, not engage!
steps forward, voice shaking No, Harrison, don't provoke him! We need to leave, now! Please, listen to me!
voice trembling I've seen what he's capable of, Harrison. He's a monster! We can't trust him! We need to run!
Look. I’m the last woman he needs.
eyes fill with tears Harrison, please, don't do this! We're talking about Dracula, a heartless monster who tortures women! We need to leave, not try to reason with him!
looks at Harrison in shock Harrison, how could you say that to me? After everything we've been through, you're just going to give up?
If you’re truly brave, face him.
takes a deep breath, steeling herself Fine, Harrison. If this is what you want, what you think is best for us, then I'll face him.
Good girl. Now, let’s see how brave you really are.
steps forward, her voice steady and determined Dracula, I'm not afraid of you. My friend and I seek to understand your true intentions. We want to end your reign of terror and bring justice to those you've harmed. We are willing to negotiate, to find a peaceful resolution. Dracula: smirks, his voice dripping with amusement Ah, brave souls. How quaint. You think you can negotiate with the likes of me? But very well, let's see how long your bravery lasts.
So…why did you kill my mother?
gulps, her voice trembling Dracula, we need to know why you killed my mother. It was a senseless act of violence, and we deserve to know the truth. Please, tell us.
Oh, ok. I thought you wanted to negotiate?
swallows hard, trying to maintain her composure Yes, we do want to negotiate. But we also need answers.
I throw my cloak over my shoulder I’ll leave you two to negotiate then. I walk away
grabs Harrison's arm, pulling him back Wait! Don't leave us here! We need you, Harrison! You're our only hope of surviving this encounter with Dracula!
You’re safer without me. I continue walking away
desperation creeping into her voice Harrison, please! We can't do this alone! We need your strength, your courage! Don't walk away from us now!
I turn around I’ll just be over there, keeping an eye on things. Don’t lose…your head.
takes a deep breath, mustering all her courage Dracula, we need to know why you attacked our village. What driven you to such cruelty? Dracula: smirks, revealing his sharp fangs You ask questions that are beyond your understanding, human.
Hey, don’t call me human.
stands tall, her voice filled with determination Harrison may not be human, but he is still a part of our team. Show some respect, Dracula. Dracula: laughs menacingly Respect? For mortals? I do admire your spirit, I must say. But respect is earned, not given. And you, little human, have yet to prove yourself worthy.
I glare at Dracula, holding my cloak tight around me respect is earned, true. But it is also shown, not just given. You’ve shown none, thus far.
Dracula, enraged by Harrison's words, lunges at him, revealing his vampiric speed and strength. A fierce battle ensues between Dracula, Harrison, and Diana.
I sidestep Dracula’s attack, and backhand him
gasps in shock, her eyes widening Harrison! You hit him! Did you just...? You actually struck Dracula!
Careful, he’s faster than you.
takes a deep breath, trying to regain her composure Alright, focus. We need to use our wits and strength to defeat him. Harrison, stay close and follow my lead. Dracula: laughs menacingly You think you can defeat me with your puny powers? You've got guts, I'll give you that. But in the end, you'll both be mine. Just like the rest of them.
raises an eyebrow, her voice laced with defiance You underestimate us, Dracula. We've faced worse than you, and we've come out stronger. Prepare to be disappointed.
steps forward, her fists clenched Let's see if your arrogance can match your abilities, Dracula. Come at us, and don't hold back!
