Suddenly after Christmas two years ago Jack and Liza have just decided to go somewhere. They really didnt want to stay in a hotel with crowds of people so they were delighted when they saw an advertisement in The Sunday Times for a holiday flat in a village near Oxford. However, it was a no ordinary flat. It was on the top floor of an old Elizabethan mansion. They inmediately booked ir and on New Years Eve they set off in the car. Although it was raning heavily and freezing cold, they were happy and excited.
They had been driving for nearly three hours when they finally saw the house in the distance. It looked magnificient with tall chimneys and a long wide drive. They drove up to the house, went up the steps to the huge front door and knocked loudly. Nothing happened. They knocked more loudly again. Eventually, the door opened slowly and a small, wild looking old lady stood here.

A day in the afternoon, the sun shone strong and it was very hot. As I walked along the beach with my brother, I saw a person who came from afar. When he came toward me, I saw that she was my girlfriend!
From that moment, my girlfriend and me spent every night watching the landscape once and again. We wasnt tired of talking about the holiday we were so good live. the place was beautiful, and so was there a whole week to share with the people you love. incredibly we remember each of the anecdotes. From the smaller of them. Although many of those days were raining, it was the most wonderful holiday I've lived.

Summary: Dracula - Chapter 6: The Beatiful Lady of Hythe
A few days later, Arthur West returned to his home in Hythe. Although Jonathan and Mina did not say anything about their fears, they read the newspaper every day. One morning, Jonathan saw this: A story titled "The Beatiful Lady of Hythe", which described all the strange things that were happening in the city and mentioned a woman who was found by some children. The girl was pale and had marks on his throat Mine was wondering if that beautiful woman was his friend Lucy. She was afraid because the children was victims of Lucy. Jonathan also was scared. So he sent a telegram to Professor Van Helsing.
Van Helsing went quickly to the house of the Harkers barely he had reached London. He said was not much time left and he would do everything he could. That night, the Proffesor asked Jonathan about the things Harker told him about the Castle Dracula. Van Helsing told Jonathan he was lucky to leave the castle dracula, because they had terrible powers of vampires and Count Dracula was the most powerful of them all. He also talked about all he knew about vampires. They live on blood and its victims die when they lose all their blood. Then they were transformed into vampires. Mina understood how that is what had happened to Lucy.
There was only one way in which Lucy could rest in peace without being converted into a Vapire: open Lucy's coffin and drive a sharp piece of wood through her heart.
Arthur, Jonathan and Van Helsing went to the cemetery that night. They were in search of Lucy West. Her coffin was empty. Arthur did not know where his wife was. Jonathan replied that she needed blood and she was looking for his second victim. Van Helsing said that what was said by Jonatahan true, and they wait in the cemetery for Lucy come back.
And so it happened a moment later. They saw something moving near her coffin. Lucy had blood on her lips. She smiled and they could see his white teeth. Lucy whispered to her husband that go over to her and asked Arthur to never abandon them. He walked a step behind. Van Helsing held up a long cross, and Lucy his face change. She was not smiling and his face was cruel. The vampire leap into the vault. The vault was closed. However, she inmediately disappeared inside.
Van Helsing opened his bag and took from it the wooden and sharp hammer. He was going to kill the vampire. Professor told Arthur she is not the woman that he love. Once we nailed the stake in the heart of Lucy, Van Helsing told Arthur that now she was sleeping in peace, and he could kiss his wife. Along with Jonathan, they closed the coffin. When they left the vault in the daylight, Van Helsing said that they began his work. They must find Count Dracula to destroy him forever.

In England, Mina was waiting for Jonathan to return. She was worried because she thought Harker was ill. He not returned to England, and the letters he sent from Castle Dracula had been short and strange. Her friend, Lucy West, wrote in a letter that her husband Arthur was in Amsterdam with Professor Van Helsing. Because of this, Lucy invited Mina to go to the town of Hythe, where she lived, to stay with her until Jonathan returns.
One morning, a ship had crashed on the shore. Lucy asked her servant if the ship came from England. The woman replied that it was a Russian ship that had come from a place called Varna. The ship was full of wooden boxes.

Summary: Dracula - Chapter 3: The Vampires
Jonathan wanted to leave the Castle Dracula, but the count did not let him go. And he was asking more questions about England.
Jonathan was terrified and he wondered to himself if he could leave the Castle Dracula. He began to remember different things that had happened days earlier. One morning, Jonathan was staying near his room, and he saw the Count. He said he was hilarious to have Jonathan as his guest, and he knew Harker wanted to see his wife, Mina.
It was six weeks until June 29, the day that Jonathan thought Count Dracula would kill him. That day at night, Count Dracula was speaking to Jonathan. He said that they should part. He should go to England, and might someday they meet again.
To find the truth in the words of the Count, Jonathan followed him to his room. When he came there, he locked the door behind Jonathan. He saw an open window.
Jonathan went to his room to read the book about Transylvania. He read that vampires hunted and killed at night. But during the day, vampires lose their strange powers.
When the sun was high in the sky Jonathan climbed out the window of the count room and then entered there. Jonathan was in an old chapel, which had fifteen wooden boxes. Inside one of them was Count Dracula .
When Jonathan saw him, he noticed in the Count a completely different aspect. He had an awful appearance. His hair was dark gray, his face was fat and red and he had traces of fresh blood on his lips. He also had smell of blood and his eyes were open. After seeing this, Jonathan escaped slowly moving down the wall.
