Nora had watched Piper but she was more curious about the Kukri knife and the cross. It kind of weirded her out to see Vladimir pull it out of his side like that. "My I see those? What was the third item again? There is a third right? I may have an idea where it is." She looked at the knife and to anyone else it would just look like a normal kukri knife but being a vampire Nora could actually see the tiny specs of blood on it that a mere human would not see. "How were these used against him? Don't they have to be used in a certain way or order?" She looked at the cross and did not touch that one. She wondered, it would make sense. Dion had told her about the third artifact that was used in his prior death. "Please, what is the other weapon?"

Sasha O'Neill & Jean Belair & Rick Hoover

Jean gave Grant a grinn as he stepped into his car. Jean loved his fast silver mercedice. His dream was to own a rolls royce phantom at one point. However, right now he had to get his speed kick from shifting gears while driving. Nothing beat a european car after all.

He followed Grants directions, while breaking every speed limit there was. Luckely he wpuld not get fined for any speed tickets, seeing as his licence plate was flipped at the moment. He was wondering where the road would take them. At least they would meet a very acient draculina, and who knows what shs could tell them.

---

Sasha wanted to look away as the black liquid oozed out of the wound that Vladimir had created himself. Black blood, such a odd thing to see. However she continued to look as it was a part of who Vladimir was, that and the object he pulled put of the wound caught her attention. The black liquid slowly dripped of the silver cross that laid on the table besides her own kukri knife. It was like long lost brother met after a long long time, that is how it lookes as the two weapons laid besides one another. However, the two brothers felt a painfull sting as their third brother was not seen, he had yet to be found.
"van Hellsings Cross" Sasha wisperd as she stood up, still a bit unsteady. She walked over to Vladimir and hugged him, she did not know why but she wanted to hug him. "don't go hiding honely objects in your body, I cannot inmagine that having a positive effect on you" Sasha smiled kind but her attention got pulled away by pipers grant exit and soon Mitthias flew after her, leaving the room as well. Sasha loomed at Vladimir as he was just named packleader for the group of wolfs that laid outside the mansion. Again her attention shifted as Nora began to ask questions about the weapons.

" the third and last weapon used to kill Dracula is a bowie knife orriginaly belonging to Quincy Morris. The knife has been passed down his family. Last time I remember hearing about the knife it was in posession of Elizabeth Morris, a young vampire huntres who has continued her ancestors livehood. However, she got killed after working together with Soldier and ever since then the knife has been missing" she explained and took her knife in her own hand. Pulling out the blade from it shead, the silver glinted in the dim light.
"tou can see my knife, though I would not reccomend touching it. After all, it was made to be lethal towards vampires"

Nora noticed the similarities in the designs on the handle and on the cross and she gasped. Nora looked at Sasha and Vladimir. "There are more weapons with this design on them. They are kept locked up. I know the old stories of five weapons of destruction but I never realized that three were used to kill Dracula before. I can take you to the weapons but I can't unlock the room. Dracula is the only one who has both a key and a combination as well as a way to break the curse on the room."

This revelation had even Violet intrigued. "He has the other two weapons of destruction? So he would have the bow and arrow and the sword?" Nora nodded. Violet smiled a little. "My isn't he the cheeky one?"

Sasha O'Neill

"five weapons?, I did not knew that there were two more persons involved im the killing of dracula back then. Are you sure it are not just regular blessed weapons. Vampire hunters often decorated the weapons that belonged to their own clan, wich can explain the decorations" Sasha spoke as she raised an eyebrow.
"unless you are speaking of weapons used to kill dracula in a event wich is not regesterd by the vampire hunter record I do not know wich weapons you speak of Miss Nora, they are simly not belonging to the group I speak of, it is impossible for there to have been hunter wich such weapons back in 1897, wich would have drawn unwanted attention from the outside world, my guess is that it are weapons used on a earlier attempt on Draculas life "

more weapons to used to Kill dracula. If such things exsisted, why did the vampire hunters not knew of their existence. Was there a time before Mina Parker and the rest of the group who killed dracula a few hundres years ago, a time wheren humanity managed to strike against Dracula before te records. To many questions floated around in her head at the moment.

"anyway I would not touch them seeing as they are blessed. Any vampire would be hurt the monent they touch the weapons, wherether it is the handle or the blade they touch" If he had more weapons maybe he also posessed the smaller crosses worn around the neck by mina parker and her best friend Lucy Westenra. Seeing as those were the only two possible people she cojld think of involved in the killing in 1897.

@Ojo chan 42@Wick
Vladimir rolled his eyes but chuckled. "Considering how long I've been hiding that internally....that might explain my bad moods." A joke...he had watched piper leave had heard that he was...leader of her pack. He did not want this. After all, he did not consider himself purely wolf...nor purely vampire. The hate that he had faced for so long meant he did not identify as either. Rather he identified himself as neutral in all aspects. He slowly raised a brow at nora and stood. "We do not need so many things to kill one leech." After all they did have more individuals then before and Vlad most certainly did not trust nora.

"Even if there are more weapons...which I do not remember being there.....we do not need them. Its excessive." He moved to sasha and looped one of her arms around his waist so she could use him for support. "And no way are you coming. I agree with Mitias on that one." That cross had been in his side for quite some time...he had after all only ever used it once. He tilted his head. "Now the more important thing to think about is....what on earth are we going to do about piper being with dracula at this moment" It was said with little concern....he was more worried about sasha then anything or anyone else.

Piper waited as Dracula leered at her. He walked around her and she growled at him as he did. She couldn't help it. He scared her and she knew he scared a lot of older vampires because he could ensnare other vampires as well as humans to do his bidding. She worried for Grant, Rick and Nora and oddly about Violet. She was the most surprised about her. Hmm... maybe she could use this to her advantage. She stared at Dracula and looked him in the eye making him wonder about her.

"Do you know who your maker is?" Dracula appeared to be curious about this question. "Now why would you ask me that Piper?" He asked her coming over to her and running a fingertip across her cleavage as if taunting it to jump out of her dress. Her breathing increased as her fear rose. "I met her. She seems nice enough but she isn't too keen on your behavior." He chuckled. "Well then maybe she should have stuck around and made sure that I was not left alone to learn how to be a vampire. Why should I care what she thinks?" "Because Violet may be the one leading the group that comes to take you out."

He looked thoughtfully at Piper."Ahh Violet. Such a beautiful name. And why would you tell me this?" Piper had used what would have been no real news to him at all except perhaps Violet's name. He had to know that there were people after him. "I thought you might not know her name and frankly I was hoping it might distract you from whatever you were planning for me." He chuckled at her. "Not likely."

---

Violet listened to what Nora said and she answered. "These sister weapons might not be a bad idea. Who says that the original weapons used are still blessed and strong enough. It is entirely possible that the other weapons could be stronger this time around. Especially if the witch that woke him cursed them in her spell. I think it is worth looking into." She looked at Vlad and Sasha.

Nora texted to Grant. Dracula summoned Piper to him so she is with him. We think he wants to breed with her to make hybrids. Please say when you can come. She is going to need our help soon.

"Tsk dumme hündin" Michale scolded the werewolf moving backwards while his hand moved towards the holster of where his knife was located,"So...what do you have planned for her?" The german said walking close so he was standing beside his master.Looking down at her and also listening in to their conversation.

In his mind he just wanted to torture her for a bit which would be fun although some extreme measure may have to be taken since she is a werewolf and he has not tortured on in a long time.

Nora was looking at the weapons that she couldn't touch when the vampire from earlier came back into the room and saw her. "I'm not sure these are the same symbol as the weapons I'm remembering." She leaned closer, her brow furrowed. "I'm sorry I think I may be mistaken." Just as she turned to Rick her face became frozen in a look of agony. Her body pitched forward into Rick's arms and she went limp. The vampire behind her threw her heart on the ground and ran out of the house.

@ojo chan 42 @dabombjk @blackpanther@wraithblade6

Piper was about to respond to the creepy guy when she felt an incredible pain and her connection with Nora was severed. Tears ran down her face as she dropped to her knees. She could see and feel the last seconds of Nora's life. Her pain was Piper's pain and she sobbed. Dracula went to her and she was so focused on Nora she didn't register who was picking her up. "What is it Piper?" He asked comforting her as best he could without knowing what was wrong. She choked out, "Nora ....was killed. She's gone."

The look on Dracula's face quickly changed from shock to sadness to blankness. "Come on Piper, you should lay down." He took her to his room and lay her in his bed. She was so distracted that she realized what he was up to just a little bit too late. He had her in his bedroom and she turned away from him.

"If you care even the slightest for me you won't take advantage of me right now." She got under the covers and covered up fully dressed and sobbed herself to sleep. He lay there trying to be comforting in hopes she would turn to him. When she didn't she cried herself to sleep. That was when he struck. Dracula undressed and he pulled the blankets up from the bottom and lifted her dress up. His greedy eyes took in her body and then his hands and he held her down with the blankets while he took her.

Piper woke up as Dracula was leaning into her and she tried to move and found herself trapped. Her mental connection with Nora was gone so her mind looked for the one with Grant. Her mind screamed to him as loudly as it could. He would feel her fear and she hoped he could find her.

Sitting up in a tree some place close to the mansion taking a break form patrolling the grounds,"Wonder if master was having some with that...verewolf" He mused the mere thought making him giggle as he noticed someone near the mansion grounds that he had to as quiet as he could climbing down the stairs and moving behind him.

"Guten Tag" He said cheerfully in his thick German accent behind the person whom was stalking around like a rat searching for food.The youthful vampire was wanting to have some fun and this could be something to kill some time.

Sasha O'Neill & Jean Belair & Rick Hoover

"there are more weapons out there than one can count Miss Nora. " Sasha said and used the arm Vladimir had offer her to stand up properly. Hopefully by tomorrow her amnemia would be gone and she could function normal again. Then however her stomach turned upside down as the most horrific sight happened infront of her. A heart laid on the ground, and a small pool of blood former around it as the sound of Rick could be heard.

"No!" Rick shouted as he caught the body of his lover. Tenderly he held her body close crying and sobbing while holding her body wich slowly bled to death. "Nora, dear..." He spoke as he put a stray strand of hair out of her face. Sasha buried her face in the chest of Vladimir as she could not stand the sight of so much bloodninfront of her. It shook her to the core that a woman she had just talked with had died all to sudden. "Talk to me, hey" Rick's voice broke as he clung to her body. Slowly but surely he started to realize that she would never speak to him again. Her entire body felt colder than normal. It almost seemed unfair that a vampire of her age died in such a way. Her heart ripped out of her body, and trown on the cold floor.

@Wick@Ojo chan 42
Vladimir went back to being silent. Then he froze as a vampire tore out Nora's heart. He held Sasha for a moment before carefully putting her on the couch. He snarled lowly and seemed to vanish. Sounds of screaming echoed before Vladimir pulled in the vampire responsible. His hand curled around the leeches throat until he tossed him down. He then pulled a dagger from his boot and looked down at the leech with a cold expression. "Defend yourself" the vampire stood and took the dagger. He stabbed Vladimir who slowly smiled.

He shook his head and pulled out the dagger black ooze following spider noises. "That...is not how you stab a victim." the vampire paled since Vladimir didn't even flinch. Vladimir moved suddenly and plunged the knife in then pulled out the vampires still beating still attached heart. He looked at Rick. "I do believe she was your lover....which means you have the right to end this particular leech" the way he held the heart the way he spoke was dangerous....it would send shivers down even the most dangerous vampire. That's without making eye contact.

Vlad knew how it felt for a loved one to die. Horribly even and not be able to do anything. What he was offering now was revenge...without the rampage.

Violet was listening to Nora about the weapons not being the same after all and then there was a flurry of movement as the vampire Vanderbeck, from earlier who had went after Nora came in and ripped her heart out of her body. Violet jumped and watched Nora's face as she died and the grief of her lover, Rick. The hybrid Vladimir Van Helsing chased the murderous vampire and brought him back for Rick to have revenge. After what Rick did next she couldn't blame him. All of this happened in under maybe 2 minutes. Violet felt infuriated by the violence in her home. She agreed with Van Helsing and Rick but with Vanderbeck...she would have killed him herself if she hadn't been so surprised.

"All vampire guests disperse. This meeting is adjourned for the evening." She turned to Rick and to Nora's body. Rick was so broken over Nora. She felt terrible for him. Even though Nora had done some bad things she wasn't doing them to hurt others she had done them to save her family. Violet saw Nora's cell and picked it up. She went through her messages and saw the last text sent was to Grant. After reading it she sent another text to him.

Grant, this is Violet Braddock. Nora was killed moments after sending you that last text. Piper will be in terrible shape and more vulnerable since she will feel Nora's death. She is at Dracula's home. You must hurry to her or she could be lost to us. I'm sorry to give you such terrible news.

Violet texted Mitthias. Vanderbeck killed Nora so Piper is in serious danger now that her maker is dead.

Rick wayched as Vladimir dragged the vampire responsible for the death of his wife, back into the living room and handed him a dagher. The hybrid seemed to taunt his opponement as the vampire realized in shock what kind of an opponent he was facing.

As Vlad offerd him the heart Rick looked up with tears streaming down his face. Carefully he laid Nora back on the floor, her hair spread lile a dark brown halo. He walked towards Sasha with blood on hisnhands and looked at her.
"can I use this?" he asked as he pointed at her kukri knife.
Slowly Sasha nodded yes, but some questionmarks danced in her eye's.
"those are blessed. It will hurt tremendously if you hold it"
"I know, but he deserves a painfull death and a blessed blade will kill him painfully" Rick spoke as he took the knife in his hand. Inmediatly the smell of burned flesh floated arpund the room and the sound of meat hitting a grill could be heard. Slowly Rick walked towards the vampire that had killed his wife, the sole reason he had turned.
"thank ypu"he almost wispered as eh took the heart from Vladimir. Rick knew that he probably did not posess the strenght to kill this vampire on hisnown, so he was glad Vlad had done so. With a firm mpvement he stabbed the heart of the vampire, no hesitation cpuld be seen in his movement. After the vampire parished infront of him Rick Walked backwards back towards the ble and laid the knife back on the wood, besides the sheat. He then moved to Sasha who sat on the couch and wrapped his arms around her. Crying he put his headnon her shoulder as he seemed to need the confort of his cousin and childhood friend.
"I loved her Sash, I really did" rick mumbled as Sasha proceeded to pat his back. Her gaze went to Vladimir to see if he was alright from the stabbwound he had just recieved. She knew that he could have healed already, but she was still concerned about him.
"I know Rick, I can see that. I am sure she was very happy to be loved by you"

"Vladimir, are you alright?"

Piper was being drugged and she could barely move when she heard the fighting going on. She heard Grant's voice. Struggling to sit up she staggered to the doorway barely able to open the door. Vladimir was giving her regular shots to keep her compliant and weak. A toddler could get away from her at this point. Dracula was seven times older then Grant was and therefore much faster. Grant fought his way through the minions that Dracula had. He was fighting him now.

Piper yelled out "Grant!" but it didn't sound any louder than a whisper. It took so much effort to do or say anything. She leaned against the doorway like a rag doll and the next thing she saw was Grant's face as Dracula ripped his head off of his body. Piper screamed and feinted.

@Ojo chan 42@Wick
Vladimir seemed lost in thoughts for a moment before he shook his head and looked at his bare upper body. The wound was already healed and the only evidence that he smooth skin was even broken was a thin trail of black ooze. He looked at Sasha and nodded before walking to them. He unbuckled the swords before sitting next to Sasha.

He didn't look at either. "Pain can hurt for life times if you let it. Mourn now then use the pain later." cool grey eyes now focused on the two. Mostly Rick. "I know your pain. Do not let it rule you" he then looked at Sasha and nodded a small smile making an appearance. "I am fine." he cleared his throat and looked at violet. "Where's your spawn. I feel it's time he becomes one with death once more" he could track pipers scent easily. However...he felt like verbalizing this so the two next to him could focus on something else.

@BlackPanther@Wick@Wraithblade6@Eviledd1984

Sasha O'Neill & Jean Belair & Rick Hoover

"Rick, lets go. Vladimir can bring us to the one who killed your lover. You can truely avenge her that way" Sasha spoke, not other words to speak than these. Slowly she shaking of Rick's body stopped and he let go of Sasha while slinding onto the floor like a drunken fool.
"I can never beat him. I am but a few weeks old Sash, I cannot kill a acient vampire like him" itbwas clear that Rick had become discouraged. It was expected, he had lost the sole reason why he had turned. Sasha, even tough she took pity on him, was not planning to see her cousin slide into a eternal sadness. She did not wished to see him pained until he would be killed.
"Rick, what would Nora say if she saw you in this mess. Vladimir is right, do not let the pain rule you. After we killed Vladimir2 you can properly mourn her"

Slowy Rick stoodnup but his head still hung. He looked at Nora's corps and walked towards her. Slowly he took her hand in his and slid the two weddingrings she wore of her ringfinger and put them on the cord where they had hung before.
"you two go ahead. I have something else to do. I will find you guys again. Maybe catch up with Jean and then join you all. But first..." Rick spoke no more as he lifted Nora in his arms and walked outof the room.
Sasha looked at them go and sighed, a small tear left the corner of her eye as she saw her cousin like this. Quickly shenrubbed it away and turned her attention back at Vladimir.
"is there a chance you will take me with you to Dracula or do I need to convince you to take me with you?"she said and grabbed her knife, holding it firmly in her hand.

---

In the meanwhile Rick was running as fast as he could while carrying Nora's lifeless body. Tears streamed down his cheeks and were left as mere droplets floating in the air as he ran by. He knew exaclty were to burry her, the mansion where they had first met. At the st where he had worked and cut down, only to later on plant new trees back. It had been a few years and the young trees had grown some bigger. As he reached the fores he gently laid her down on the moss as he proceeded to dig a hole in the ground. A beautifull young red oak would stand guard over her eternal resting place.

After he had buried her Rick mourned for a while before standing up. He took out his phone and dialed a number he had once gotten a long time ago.
"Belair, who is calling"

@Eviledd1984

Mithias turned around slowly. He didn't hear a lot of German outside of the country and wondered briefly if the vampire that had managed to sneak up behind him knew him from the past. Vivid golden eyes glared like lights at the other vampire from between a black sash over his nose and mouth and the rim of a black hat. "Guten Abend." He replied.

Motionless as a tree Mithias scanned his opponent for any signs of aggression: his weapons, facial expression, everything. It was a young looking blonde vampire. He must've been turned as a boy. One of Dracula's line, but Mithias had no idea how thick or thin the blood ran from the source. With his high-tech swords at his sides, Mithias did not yet reach for them. Instead, he continued the conversation in English, remaining ready to draw and fight with razor-edge notice. "So you've discovered me. Are you sure it's wise to engage me by yourself?"

@Wraithblade6

"Ah...well i'm just here to patrol the mansion...although i don't know if you have friend who are stalking about the ground but.." The German was now walking in circle around him saying this in a thick German accent and also in a bit of a sing songy voice."But fighting you would be a bit of a problem since i don't think i am very good but what i lack in brute force i do have cunning" The German said the other vampire could see the young vampire's Nazi Youth attire.

@Ojo chan 42
Vladimir nodded as Rick left with the lifeless body of Nora. He felt a slight twinge of guilt at not trusting her...but he felt that his mind would not have been changed. He looked at Sasha and raised a brow. She seemed very determined. "are you sure you feel up to it?" knowing full well he would lose this particular battle to try to get her to stay.

He stood and pulled her to him giving her a kiss on the forehead. "I can't loose you...if you insist on coming I know I can't stop you but..." his voice was quiet before he exhaled. His slow heart still beating at the same slow pace even with him being uneasy. "If you get hurt I cannot turn you" hinting at his main worry. A worry that she would get critically wounded and he would be unable to save her.
