Sarah breathed heavily, "They can't get me here," She told herself admiring the grand church around her "Vampires can't step on holy ground."
"Not true. You are still very much in danger of me." A voice much like her own said from the darkness.
Sarah froze, "W-who are you?" she called out.
A woman, dressed in a black and red corset, a solid black skirt that revealed her leg when she walked, and black elbow-high sleeves, stepped forward and replied simply "I am you."
She was right, this woman, except for the clothes, looked exactly like Sarah. "No," Sarah whimpered "You're Samina. The one they are looking for."
"Yes," Samina hissed furiously "I'm the one they want. And I would gladly go to them if you would let me out. I want my mother, father, brother and sisters!"
"No," Sarah said meekly "Who are you by the way."
"I am you. Did you not hear me the first time? Or is it that piece of crap of an ego you have that makes you want to ignore me?"
"No, why am I seeing another one of myself?"
Samina sat down on a step leading up to the alter, "When we were born, we died. Father vowed to bring us back, but the hunters captured him before he could do so. That mad scientist you've been calling 'father' brought us back twenty years ago. He called us Sarah, then eventually you started forgetting me. And so all these years I have had to endure you posing for those stupid humans and you calling yourself a 'supermodel' when there is nothing super about you. Anyway, a few days ago, Sayuma found father and brought him back and so he brought me back which is why you are seeing me now."
"That man you call 'father', who is he?"
"Dracula."
"And 'mother'?"
"The Queen."
"And the person standing behind me?"
"Your father," A voice whispered in her ear.
Sarah flew around and began crawling away. Tall, handsome, Dracula was there looking down at her.
"My Samina."
"I'm not her, she is." Sarah cried, full buckets of tears falling from her eyes.
From around the corner, Lionel came running, "Sarah!" he called "Sarah!"
He burst through the church doors expecting to see Dracula or his children around Sarah, but all he saw was the spot where the rain had come in. Dracula had already taken Sarah long before Lionel walked in.
