christ666's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The way we know exactly what we mean, and long for each other's future DRACULA: Absinthe is the aphrodisiac of the soul. The green fury who lives in the absinthe wants your soul. But you are safe with me. MINA: Tell me, Prince, tell me of your home. DRACULA: The most beautiful place in all creation. MINA: Yes, it must be. A land beyond a great, vast forest surrounded by majestic mountains, lush vineyards, and flowers of such frailty and beauty as to be found nowhere else. DRACULA: You describe my home as if you had seen it firsthand. MINA: It's your voice, perhaps. It's so familiar. It's like a...it's like a voice in a dream I cannot place, and it comforts me when I am alone. And what of the princess? DRACULA: Princess? MINA: There is always a princess with gowns flowing white. Her face...her face is the river. The princess, she is the river filled with tears and with sadness and with heartbreak. DRACULA: There was a princess...Elisabeta. She was the most radiant woman in all the empires of the world. Man's deceit took her from her ancient prince. She leapt to her death into the river that you spoke of. In my mother's tongue, it is called "Artzeche", River Princess. /////////////////////////////// MINA: Yes, my love, you found me. DRACULA: My most precious life. MINA: I've wanted this to happen. I know that now. I want to be with you always. DRACULA: You cannot know what you are saying. MINA: Yes, I do. I feared I would never feel your touch again. I thought you were dead. DRACULA: There is no life in this body. MINA: But you live! You live! What are you? I must know! You must tell me! DRACULA: I am nothing, lifeless, soulless, hated and feared. I am dead to all the world...hear me! I am the monster the breathing men would kill. I am Dracula. Mina beats at Dracula MINA: No! You murdered Lucy! (She collapses in his arms) I love you. Oh, God forgive me, I do. I want to be what you are, see what you see, love what you love. DRACULA: Mina, to walk with me, you must die to your breathing life and be reborn to mine. MINA: You are my love and my life always. DRACULA: Then I give you life eternal, everlasting love, the power over the storm and the beasts of the earth. Walk with me to be my loving wife forever. MINA: I will. Yes, yes. Dracula drinks from Mina He opens a vein in his chest DRACULA: Mina! Mina, drink and join me in eternal life. Mina drinks Dracula suddenly pushes Mina away DRACULA: No, I cannot let this be. MINA: Please, I don't care. Make me yours. DRACULA: You'll be cursed as I am and walk through the shadow of death for all eternity. I love you too much to condemn you. MINA: Then take me away from all this death! Mina continues to drink //////////////////////////////////////// 11:53 p.m. - 2003-06-20 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
