Lucy's funeral has happened, and Lucy still looks alive even though she is dead. Everyone seems to think so, including the undertaker and Arthur. Van helsing says a weird comment to Dr. seward. He says that the night after the funeral that the are to come back and cut out Lucy's heart, burn it, and chop off her head. This never happens though. Van Helsing was able to collect Lucy's memorandum and her diary, as well as some other paperwork. Arthur comes to see Lucy before she is barried to say one final goodbye, and finds her looking more alive than ever, seeming just a sleep. regardless she is dead and he kisses her goodbye. Jonathan and Mina are walking in the park one evening when they run into a man that resembles the Count. He is staring at a beautiful woman. Jonathan has a relapse and Lucy hasno idea what to do. She then takes Jonathan back home because his brain fever has come back. she outs him to bed and begins to read his journal that was kept during his stay in Transylvania because she believes it will help her to keep him well. She is shocked at what she reads and feels so bad for what Jonathan had to go through. She is skeptical, but thinks that it could all be true. She then gets a telegram from Van Helsing saying that he is coming to visit her to inquire about Miss Lucy. When he arrives at their house, Van Helsing is alone with Mina. They talk of Lucy and her journal. Mina gets to read it. SHe gives a typed copy of her journal as well as Jonathan's journal to Van Helsing and he confirms that everything inside of Jonathan's journal is true. Mina then tells Jonathan and he is relieved of his brain fever. It was the doubt of what he had been through that made him so sick, but now that he knows it was reality he can live certainly. The Hampstead Horror is realeased in an article in the newspaper. A 'Poofer Lady" has been taking kids at night who are alone in the park and leading them away into the forest. She then sucks their blood and the kids do not return home until the morning. Dr. Seward and Van Helsing read the article and Van Helsing tells Dr. Seward that he knows who the Poofer Lady is: Lucy!

A lot happened in this section and it was an easy read because of it. These people would get so much more done if they would stop keeping everything they know to themselves and share it with everyone around them. Once the journals and diaries were made known, things started to happen and the truth was found. Dr. Seward still needs to tell Van Helsing about Renfield. I really like Mina, I think she is very smart and nice. I'm glad that Jonathan has come to his senses and is able to be himself again.
