He was back and it had been three nights since I had seen Vlad. The things I had learned of myself and of my past were the things I had once longed for. Now time had no meaning for me. The roses outside my window that I had once loved smelling had no smell. My heart longed for something that I could no have. I wanted my era back.
I wanted to run through the forests of Romania again, ride my horse through the fields, and swim in the mountain streams during the summer. I wanted my husband from so long ago back in my arms. So many nights I had longed for something and then all this had changed my life. As my thoughts drifted Amy interupted them, "What is wrong with you Stacey? You haven't been yourself lately. You refuse to talk to me and the others and you seem very very distant from everyone."
I sighed, "Amy it has nothing to do with any of you. It is me and I wonder how much more long I can hold what is inside of me. You know that I care about Matt because he did make me the Princess of clan Tremere. There are answers that I got last night from my past life. I found what I was looking for in Romania."
She smiled, "Well surely it isn't bad. What is it Stacey? What did you find?"
I answered her slowly, "I was once married to Vlad Tepes and he and I had a son together. I was his first love and the only one he ever really loved as far as that goes. I am in a bind over if I should choose him or Matt."
She gasped, "You mean Vlad Dracula is alive and he is living in Romania?"
I nodded, "Yeah he lives in the old section of Wallachia or what used to be that. Why are you so shocked Amy?"
She smiled, "Only because he is supposed to be dead and to find out that he is alive and you know him? Oh my god Stacey do you realize that we could actually get him to become our leader of the clan? He could destroy clan Ventrue like they are nothing."
I sighed, "I don't want him to do that. Yeah Vlad is very powerful almost as powerful as Caine, but bringing him back to power will only cause him to try and rule the whole of the vampire world. We can't afford Caine waking up and coming to realize what is happening."
She sighed, "Hell no one has seen Caine for centuries. We don't even know if he's still alive or not. What would it do if Vlad did try to take over the Camarilla? He is powerful enough."
I laid back against the wall thinking yeah that was the only problem...in the meantime I had a tough decision to make. If i was going to stay with Matt or go home to Vlad....
I awoke to a thump outside the bedroom window. It was still daylight outside so I couldn't just waltz out there. I wondered if it were a slayer and I knew Matt was sound asleep. He would not hear it and I knew I had to defend my master the best I could. I went out into the hall and retrieved the baseball bat I had stuck in the hall closet.
As I neared the window making sure that I wouldn't let the sunlight in, I saw the silhouette of a man on the outside. My powers were weak during the day and I knew that I couldn't make him do anything. I waited till he came inside then I slung the bat as hard as I could. He slumped to the floor cursing. When he got up I grabbed him by the throat, "Who are you and Who sent you?"
He laughed, "Who do you think sent me? They want you all dead...including the fledlings."
I knew who he spoke of was some of the minions belonging to the Ventrue Empire in Rome. I took the stake and peirced his heart just enough to shake him up. I looked deep into his eyes, "Take this message back to who sent you!"
I thought nothing more of it and threw the man back out the window. I locked the window and joined Matt in the bed. When I woke up Matt was gone. I knew I had slept an hour over sunset but I didn't think anything of it. I walked around the castle trying to catch a glimpse of where he might have disappeared to. Then I caught sight of his shirt. It was lying in a heap on the floor, shredded and bloody. I grabbed it up and held it to my chest.
Who would have dared enter the castle during broad daylight and sweep my love away? I did not hear anything which must have meant it was a psychic vampire who did it. I walked over to the crypt where Adam and Amy slept and told them what was going on. They caught Todd just in time as he was on his way out to feed. Todd said, "I didn't hear anything or see anything which must mean whomever did it was very cunning and must have been a psychic vampire. There fore it is going to be hard to find out whom did this but I do have speculations."
I nodded, "Yes and so do I. It must have been one of Clan Ventrue in Rome. They want all of us dead for fleeing their precious empire. And I know it must have been VentruE himself who did this. He must pay."
Amy agreed, "We must get in the empire and find out what happened to Matt. Stacey you have the most ties to people who still live there so I would look up someone who really trusts you and get in that way."
Spys I thought deeply as I turned to look at the night sky. They were in the empire and some were my close friends. I worried that they would find out and they would be killed. I nodded to Amy, "Yes I will go and see who I must. I want all of you to pay close attention at what goes on.Adam I want you to find Pam and Brian and let them know what is going on. Tell them to be very careful and know who the enemies are."
Adam and Todd went away to find the rest of the city and let our clan know what was going on.
I flew over mountains and streams and oceans to find Ventrue. As I was spying on him and his followers, he spotted me, "Well what have we here? Welcome home Stacey."
I flew down to where he stood, "This is no longer my home, Ventrue. I want to know what you did with my husband and I want to know now."
He laughed, "Do you actually think that I would tell you that quickly? Boy you aren't being very bright then. Come on inside and let us have a drink and then we shall talk of your husband. I do know where he is mind you and if you decide to kill me then you will never find out where he is."
I laughed, "Its ok if you want to play mind games I shall play along. Then when you tell me what I need to Know then I shall kill you. I have no use for you, Ventrue."
For the longest time we talked and I drank deeply of the wine. The darkest but purest wine I had ever tasted. I became delirious and knew he had drugged the wine. Even being a vampire I knew I couldn't over do this one. I simply said, "To never trust no one would have been the wisiest thing I could have done. Now I will never get to Matt and never see him again."
He nodded, "Yes you will see Matt and you will acknowledge him again in time very short time."
I didn't know if Matt were alive or dead but I knew I had to know. Ventrue sent me into a dark catacomb. It was then my husband walked out of the shadows. He knelt down beside me, "How does it feel Stacey to know that you have been betrayed?"
Betrayed my thoughts could not comprehend this all at once. I got up and looked straight at him, "Why would you do this to me, Matt?"
He laughed, "Well why do you think I would do something like this,Stacey? It is called power and I have all I want to in this empire. The Empress is alive Stacey and soon you will be dead. So sorry my dear. Such a waste of precious blood you are."
I tried to fight him but to no avail. I slumped down near a wall and it was there that I fell into a deep sleep. When I woke I was lying on a bed made of pure silk and light was shinning brightly in my eyes. I squinched my eyes up and made out the figure of a woman. It was the Empress herself without the mask. She smiled, "So beautiful when you are asleep. I brought you here so that I may give you a proposition. You can either join Matt in the empire again or you can die. It is merely you decision."
I raised my head and looked into her eyes, "You think that you have won don't you Empress? Well I have something to tell you. This war between our clans is just beginning. You will be the one to die before me."
I got up a sword lying near the fireplace and swung it over my head. I let out an unhuman growl and rammed the sword through her. Matt came running in as she screamed. He looked at me and fell to the ground. I knew then he had been under some kind of spell...
My sire threw me to the ground roughly, "Get out of my sight...you betray me then you betray the Empress...and the empire."
I was disgusted with the whole stupidity that someone rule someone else. Plus no one barked orders at me only the elders did that. I was one of the ones who would stand up to my sire VentruE. Now I was on my own and my thoughts turned to home and my husband Matt. I eagerly flew over roof tops trying to see the garden I so desperately loved. Matt was sitting underneath an eve of the house and he was writing.
He saw me and asked, "What are you doing here my love?"
I spoke clearly, "Ventrue tired of me and sent me home permanantly i am afraid. I let my head speak for me and it lost me my title and my place among the empire. He gave me one night to get out of the empire but I have heard that some one is out for the Empress's head. I hope the elder's kill her because truthfully I hate her."
Matt tried to calm me but I was clearly on a rampage. I headed out the iron fence surrounding our garden and went towards out tiny apartment. I packed what I would need as fastly as I could. Angrily I tried to leave with my clothes but Matt blocked my exit. He took me by my wrist and pulled me in his arms. It was there he held me for what seemed like an eternity to a mere mortal.
He looked into my eyes and said, "Worrying like you are with VentruE isn't going to solve any matters, Stacey. It is time for us to go out on our own. It is time for us to start our own clan where everyone is shown equality. Adam, Todd, Amy, You, and I will be known as clan Tremere. No one shall bark orders at one another and we shall be the ones to rule our own clan. There is a city called Pittsburgh that awaits us."
Later that evening we flew out of Rome away from Empress and all that dwelled in the city I had once loved. Now I was off to a city that I didn't understand but must on order to start a new era. Once we arrived we met Todd, Adam, and Amy. Tremere was the name and we didn't care about rules. What we did care about was our earth and the energies surrounding it that could heal almost anything.
We would recruit others like us and we knew this was just the beginning....

So much for my happy ending
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...
Let's talk this over
It's not like we're dead
Was it something I did?
Was it something You said?
Don't leave me hanging
In a city so dead
Held up so high
On such a breakable thread
You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be
[Chorus:]
You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
And all of the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...
You've got your dumb friends
I know what they say
They tell you I'm difficult
But so are they
But they don't know me
Do they even know you?
All the things you hide from me
All the shit that you do
You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be
[Chorus]
It's nice to know that you were there
Thanks for acting like you cared
And making me feel like I was the only one
It's nice to know we had it all
Thanks for watching as I fall
And letting me know we were done
[Chorus x2]
[x2]
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...
So much for my happy ending
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...
Lyrics:
Love can be a many splendored thing
Can't deny the joy it brings
A dozen roses, diamond rings
Dreams for sale and fairy tales
It'll make you hear a symphony
And you just want the world to see
But like a drug that makes you blind,
It'll fool ya every time.
The trouble with love is
It can tear you up inside
Make your heart believe a lie
It's stronger than your pride.
The trouble with love is
It doesn't care how fast you fall
And you can't refuse the call
See, you got no say at all.
Every time I turn around
I think I got it all figured out
My heart keeps calling and I keep on falling
Tears my heart in two
The trouble with love is
It's in your heart, it's in your soul (doesn't care how fast you fall)
You're losin' all control
(and you can't refuse the call, and you got no say at all)
I thought I saw a man brought to life
He was warm
He came around like he was dignified
He showed me what it was to cry
Well you couldn't be that man I adored
You don't seem to know
Seem to care what your heart is for
But I don't know him anymore
There's nothing where he used to lie
My conversation has run dry
That's what's going on
Nothing's fine I'm torn
I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed
Into something real
I'm wide awake
And I can see
The perfect sky is torn
You're a little late
I'm already torn
So I guess the fortune teller's right
Should have seen just what was there
And not some holy light
Which crawled beneath my veins
And now I don't care
I had no luck
I don't miss it all that much
There's just so many things
That I can touch I'm torn
I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed
Into something real
I'm wide awake
And I can see
The perfect sky is torn
You're a little late
I'm already torn
Torn
There's nothing where he used to lie
My inspiration has run dry
That's what's going on
Nothing's right I'm torn
I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed
Into something real
I'm wide awake
And I can see
The perfect sky is torn
I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I'm ashamed
Bound and broken on the floor
You're a little late
I'm already torn
Torn..
Once upon a time
Not so long ago
Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike
He's down on his luck... it's tough, so tough
Gina works the diner all day
Working for her man, she brings hom her pay
For love - for love
She says: We've got to hold on to what we've got
'Cause it doesn't make a difference
If we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot
For love - we'll give it a shot
We're half way there
Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear
Livin' on a prayer
Tommy got his six string in hock
Now he's holding in what he used
To make it talk - so tough, it's tough
Gina dreams of running away
When she cries in the night
Tommy whispers: Baby it's okay, someday
We've got to hold on to what we've got
'Cause it doesn't make a difference
If we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot
For love - we'll give it a shot
We're half way there
Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear
Livin' on a prayer
We've got to hold on ready or not
You live for the fight when it's all that you've got
We're half way there
Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear
Livin' on a prayer
Behind These Hazel Eyes"
Seems like just yesterday
You were a part of me
I used to stand so tall
I used to be so strong
Your arms around me tight
Everything, it felt so right
Unbreakable, like nothin' could go wrong
Now I can't breathe
No, I can't sleep
I'm barely hanging on
Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes
I told you everything
Opened up and let you in
You made me feel alright
For once in my life
Now all that's left of me
Is what I pretend to be
So together, but so broken up inside
'Cause I can't breathe
No, I can't sleep
I'm barely hangin' on
Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes
Swallow me then spit me out
For hating you, I blame myself
Seeing you it kills me now
No, I don't cry on the outside
Anymore...
Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes
Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes
Life Goes On
Life goes on, life goes on, life goes on...
You sucked me in and played my mind
Just like a toy you would crank and wind
Baby, I would give til you wore it out
You left me lying in a pool of doubt
If you're still thinkin' you're the Daddy Mac
You should've known better but you didn't and I can't go back
Oooh, life goes on, and its only gonna make me strong
Its a fact, once you get on board say goodbye cuz you can't go back
Oooh, its a fight, and I really wanna get it right
Where I'm at, is my life before me, Got this feeling that I can't go back
Life goes on, life goes on, life goes on...
Wish I knew then what I know now
You held all the cards and sold me out
Baby, shame on you if you fooled me once,
Shame on me if you fooled me twice
You've been a pretty hard case to crack
I should've known better but I didn't and I can't go back
Oooh, life goes on, and its only gonna make me strong
Its a fact, once you get on board say goodbye cuz you can't go back
Oooh, its a fight, and I really wanna get it right
Where I'm at, is my life before me, Got this feeling that I can't go back
Na na na na na life goes on, na na na na na made me strong
Got a feeling and I can't go back
Life goes on (and its only gonna make me strong)
Life goes onn and on and on
Shame on you if you fooled me once,
Shame on me if you fooled me twice
You've been a pretty hard case to crack
I should've known better but I didn't and I can't go back
Oooh, life goes on, and its only gonna make me strong
Its a fact, once you get on board say goodbye cuz you can't go back
Oooh, its a fight, and I really wanna get it right
Where I'm at, is my life before me, Got this feeling that I can't go back
Na na na na na life goes on, na na na na na made me strong
Whoa, yeah
Got a feeling and I can't go back
GOOD CHARLOTTE LYRICS
"Hold On"
This world
This world is cold
But you don't
You don't have to go
You're feeling sad, you're feeling lonely, and no one seems to care
Your mother's gone and your father hits you
This pain you cannot bear
But we all bleed the same way as you do
And we all have the same things to go through
Hold on if you feel like letting go
Hold on it gets better than you know
Your days
You say they're way too long
And your nights
You can't sleep at all
Hold on
And you're not sure what you're waiting for, but you don't want to know more
And you're not sure what you're looking for, but you don't want to know more
But we all bleed the same way as you do
And we all have the same things to go through
Hold on if you feel like letting go
Hold on it gets better than you know
Don't stop looking, you're one step closer
Don't stop searching, it's not over
Hold on
What are you looking for?
What are you waiting for?
Do you know what you're doing to me?
Go ahead...What are you waiting for?
Hold on if you feel like letting go
Hold on it gets better than you know
Don't stop looking, you're one step closer
Don't stop searching, it's not over
Hold on if you feel like letting go
Hold on it gets better than you know
Hold on

Title: Let Me Go
One more kiss could be the best thing
One more lie could be the worst
And all these thoughts are never resting
And you’re not something I deserve
In my head there’s only you now
This world falls on me
In this world, there’s real and make-believe
This seems real to me
You love me but you don’t know who I am
I’m tore in between this life I lead and where I stand
You love me but you don’t know who I am
So let me go
Let me go
I dream ahead to what I hope for
And I turn my back on loving you
How can this love be a good thing?
I now know where I’m going through
In my head there’s only you now
This world falls on me
In this world, there’s real and make-believe
This seems real to me
You love me but you don’t know who I am

You Think You Know Me
On this day
I see clearly
Everything has come to life
A bitter place and a broken dream
And we'll leave it all
Leave it all behind
On this day
Everything has come to life
Another chance to chase a dream
Another chance to feel
Chance to feel alive
I'll never long for what might have been
Regret won't waste my life again
I won't look back I'll fight to remain
On this day
I see clearly
Everything has come to life
A bitter place and a broken dream
And we'll leave it all behind
On this day
It's so real to me
Everything has come to life
Another chance to chase a dream
Another chance to feel
Chance to feel alive
Fear will kill me, all i could be
Lift these sorrows, let me breathe
Could you set me free!
Could you set me free!
On this day
I see clearly
Everything has come to life
Bitter place
And a broken dream
And we'll leave it all behind
On this day
It's so real to me
Everything has come to life
Now the chance to chase a dream
Now the chance to feel
Chance to feel alive
Empty spaces fill me up with holes
Distant faces with no place left to go
Without you within me I can’t find no rest
Where I’m going is anybody’s guess
I’ve tried to go on like I never knew you
I’m awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I’m going to be is incomplete
Voices tell me I should carry on
But I am swimming in an ocean all alone
Baby, my baby
It’s written on your face
You still wonder if we made a big mistake
I’ve tried to go on like I never knew you
I’m awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I’m going to be is incomplete
I don’t mean to drag it on, but I can’t seem to let you go
I don’t wanna make you face this world alone
I wanna let you go (alone)
I’ve tried to go on like I never knew you
I’m awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I’m going to be is incomplete
Incomplete
Chorus:]
I tear my heart open, I sow myself shut
My weakness is that I care too much
My scars remind me that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to fail
Drunk and I'm feeling down
And I just wanna be alone
I'm pi**ed cause you came around
Why don't you just go home
Cause you channel all your pain
And I can't help to fix myself
Your making me insane
All I can say is
[Chorus]
I tried to help you once
A kiss will only vise
I saw you going down
But you never realized
That your drowning in the water
So I offered you my hand
Compassions in my nature
Tonight is our last dance
[Chorus]
I'm drunk and I'm feeling down
And I just wanna be alone
You shouldn't ever came around
Why don't you just go home?
Cause your drowning in the water
And I tried to grab your hand
And I left my heart open
But you didn't understand
But you didn't understand
You fix yourself
I can't help you fix yourself
But at least I can say I tried
I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life
I can't help you fix yourself
But at least I can say I tried
I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life
[Chorus x2]
Did you ever wonder what happened to Mina after Bram Stoker's Dracula went off? Well I have decided to continue...the story that is.
Mina continued to stare at portrait on the ceiling wondering who the woman was. Little did she know it had been her in a past life. Elizabetha had been her name and she had loved her prince unconditionally...
If you have any more ideas please let me know. I would gladly use them. Just mesage me with them.
Everyone says you will know when you meet the right guy. I am beginning to think that is not so true. People can meet the right person and not even know it. But I guess that is life for ya. I met several people on here that claim love has truly found them but still I wonder.
I have a wonderful guy or at least I would like to think so. He can be so kind and the next minute a complete jerk. I am wondering if that can be any man though. I think guys in general have so much male testosterone that they think they have to be around a woman to prove who is boss.
Well that is my thoughts on true love.
