Tuesday: Vampires

[chiana606]

Late mod is late. I was in China, then I was in America, then I was back in China again, *then* the time difference left me a bit unaware of what date it was.

Anyway, the prompt for today is vampires. You can choose a fandom that already has them, add some to whatever fandom you adore most, or even use them as a metaphore for something decidedly

Dracula ; Jonathan/Mina ; The vampire is dead, and life continues on in his shadow.

Seven years had passed since they had crossed paths with the Count: Mina and Harker did not speak much of what had happened. It dwelled in the the past where it belonged, but even still, things arose that reminded them of it, things unspoken, agreements made without words, things which echoed the past to which they did not close their ears, yet to which they did not respond, either. His business continued to thrive, but never again, if he could help it, would Harker venture too far afield to handle any estate acquisitions. Or if he did, he heeded local customs and legends. Never again would he regard their hushed tales of creatures in the dark as mere fancies to give the young folk a tingle of fear: he had seen the inspirations for such tales

I loved this - and Dracula's one of my all-time favorite novels. Well done and so believable.
