Dracula blog 6

This section opens with Van Helsing doing everything he can to convince Dr. Seward that Lucy is the cause of the Hampstead horror. Dr. Seward just won't believe it. After much arguing, Van Helsing finallly descides to take Dr. Seward to the grave one night. They stay late after a funeral and open her grave. They then open the coffin and no one is there! they go back home and on the way they find a child in the forest alone. They return him to the city and leave him where he will be found by police. The next day they come back to the coffin. This time during daylihgt, they find Lucy inside looking very beautiful with long fangs and red lips. Dr, Seward can't believe it. Van Helsing says that they need to get Arthur and Qunicey on their side as they may be of use later on and that it will be hard to convince them. They do the same steps as last time but now with Arthur and Quincey tagging along. Once they find out, Arthur andQuincey are shocked! Van Helsing walks Jonathan through some steps and has his him drive a stake through Lucy's heart. Lucy's begins to seize until the stake is driven all the way through her heart. Arthur and Quincey then leave and Van Helsing chops off Lucy's head and fills her mouth with Garlic. Lucy starts to finally look like a dead human now and not a sleeping beast. They all go back home to get rest. Van Helsing gives his copies off Mina's diary and Jon's journal to Dr. Seward. Everyone who reads Jon's journal is in awe of his courage and bravery. Mina comes to visit Van Helsing and Dr. Seward at his home. She is then told of what happened with Lucy and is shocked. The section ends with Mina comforting Arthur and Quincey, as only a woman can do.

This section was very long and drawn out. It was cool to see how the dealt with Lucy and how to kill a vampire. I'm sure that there will be more of this later on in the book. I can't wait to see how they plan on killing the Count. I don't like that Mina is around all of these guys by herself. I think that they will become very attracted to her and i don't know how that will go with Jonathan. I can't wait to see what happens next!
