“I wish Dracula hadn’t let everyone come between him and Mina. He should have bitten Mina, made her like him, and then taken her away so they could be together forever—and lived happily ever after.” “Because they’re the same and they belong together,” he said. I looked up into Erik’s amazing blue eyes and saw that all the kidding had gone out of them. “Yeah, even if bad things happened in their past. They’d have to forgive each other for the bad stuff, but I think they could have.” “I know they could have. I think when two people care about each other enough, anything can be forgiven.”

“Believing it is the first step. Acting on it is the second.”

“Humanity saves her / Will she save me?”

I watched you while you were sleeping and you looked completely at peace. I wish I could feel that. I wish I could close my eyes and feel at peace. But I can’t. I can’t feel anything if I’m not with you, and even then all I can do is want something that I don’t think I can ever have, at least not now. So I left this, and my peace, with you. Stark.

“Sometimes the people closest to you betray you, and your home isn’t a place you can be happy anymore. It’s hard, but it’s true.”
