Lust of the Vampire Page #2

---

I want to.

Only Emilio is against it

The rules say

we must cast a vote to decide

The majority wins

So it all rests on my decision?

Yes

Let's talk about it later

Right now

I'm still in a state of shock

Please think about it.

The house is in ruins

There's no-one

to bring in the harvest

But they laid her to rest here

What is it?

Nothing.

We have a guest

Take carel

There is a stranger in the house

I know.

You must watch him very closely

Our neighbour

is an important person

Come and say hello

I can't face it right now

Another time maybe

I'm really too tired

to face anyone

Very well

I'll receive him

Sleep well

Good night

Mr Duval - our nearest neighbour

Duval - Duval?

Of course!

The Hungarian earth importer!

- I beg your pardon?

- You exaggerate young man

You must mean that large crate

I had delivered

You must think I do that all the time

That was only a sample

If that's a sample

your shipments must be huge

I don't understand

It has to do

with a very old tradition

I bet it's cemetery earth

No - it's nothing like that

It's soil from the forests of Baconia

My homeland, as you might say

That's all

What was that?

A book fell down

How did that happen?

An accident

This book looks very interesting.

All handwritten

100 years old

They're all from that period

Official declaration on

the execution of Count Karol of Lavud

Founder of the Sycamores

Originally from Baconia in Hungary

Fancy that!

He was your countryman

So it seems

But...

Isn't it Lavud who's buried

down in the crypt?

I think so

This says he was buried

over a century ago

That nameplate

does look older than the rest

He'll be dust by now

- The guest room is ready

- Thank you, Maria

May I borrow this book tonight?

I'd like to finish reading it

- Of course

- Thank you

Goodnight, Mr Duval

Show him up, Maria!

This way

you, please

- What's your name?

- Maria

Maria...

Maria what?

San Antonio

An interesting young man

Why's he here?

I don't know

I think he's a salesman

He met Marta at the station tonight

She doesn't really know him

He's leaving tomorrow

So your niece is here?

Yes - but we won't see her tonight

She's very tired

Does she know I want

to buy the Sycamores?

Don't get your hopes up

Marta just adores this place

I think she'll vote with me

not to sell

Be a pity

if she does reject my offer

She might regret it

Your room sir

No - don't go yet Maria

I'd like to speak to you

Who looked after the dead woman?

That was my job sir

And these nervous spells...

Did they happen at night

or in the day?

Oh no, sir - only in the night

And it was not nerves, sir.

She was quite normal

But she was superstitious

No, sir

She knew many things, sir.

True things

But it's ridiculous

to believe in vampires

Vampires do exist

despite what you say

Have you ever seen one?

No - God preserve me

My grandfather was killed by one

100 years ago

in an old mine near here

Many others died at that time

Their bodies drained of blood

So people stopped working

in the mines

It was too dangerous

The men in the village

killed the monster

How?

There's only one way

to kill a vampire

Knives and ordinary weapons

don't work

So what do you do?

Sink a long stake into them,

just about here

While they're asleep

But this vampire's

been dead for 100 years...

No, sir

That one lies in the crypt below

Now there's another

The evil has returned

History is repeating itself

More corpses have been found...

With small holes in their necks

The blood drained

from their bodies

No-one round here

dares go out at night

Even wild animals flee in terror

from this creature

This is nonsense

What I am telling you is true

Vampires do exist

They sleep by day

and by night they hunt fresh blood

That's what they crave

I'll pray to God to protect you, sir

So they won't turn you

into a vampire as well

If they suck your blood twice

Your soul will become immortal

and you'll live on

as a wandering spirit

It's a horrible and cruel destiny

I bid you goodnight, sir

Thank you!

Once more, my deepest sympathy

Sleep now...

Sleep now...

Shut your eyes and dream, dear

While I sit and scheme here

That's right

Go on

Keep crying

For as long as you can

You know,

crying preserves a woman's beauty

Despite what the experts say

And crying's good for the health

Didn't you know that?

It's true

Look at me

I cry every day at dawn.

For at least an hour

Try it

Try it.

You'll see I'm right

You joke about everything

Anyway, this view isn't exactly worth

losing sleep over

You need a distraction

Like me

I was reading

about a great crime

That's a crime...

Seeing this beautiful place in ruins

My Aunt's death

wasn't enough suffering

I had to see this too

You mean because the house

and grounds are in a state?

Why does that surprise you?

Underneath it's still the same

You just miss the pretty flowers

lts nothing new...

For example

You're very pretty

It's true

And you seem prettier

every second

Suppose they took your beauty away

and left the skeleton...

I'd be back at that station

in a shot

With that fat man

You're crazy

But it's true

Look at the world

through coloured glass

Things look

the way you want them to

And you'll be happier

Maybe

Not maybe

You know it's true

Our dreams are important to us.

You can prove it!

How?

Go to sleep now

Why not try it?

You'll wake up

feeling fine

Thank you...

Goodnight

Goodnight

Hey - don't forget to lock your door!

Why?

I walk in my sleep!

He's a doctor.

He's keeping it secret

Don't worry

Probably just coincidence

He came to see the sick woman

He won't stay now she's dead

Be careful, master

If he doesn't leave tomorrow...

...we'll know he's lying

He'll be dead

before he sees another dawn

And Marta?

Marta - soon she will join us

When I suck her blood a second time

She'll become a vampire too

On an endless quest for blood

Each night slaking her thirst,

destined never to quench it

But still she'll hunt...

For all eternity...

I bring this gift to the world

That all may join us...

Here on this strange bridge...

...that links the end of life

with the beginning of death

Good morning!

Good morning

You're off?

I want to catch the next train

How are you?

Better?

Not really...

I had a nightmare

that kept me awake

Tell me about it

I saw a tall man

in a long cloak

He had huge staring eyes

He was standing by my bed

What did he want from me?

He's waiting behind that door

to give you a kiss

But it interests you

Maybe you should open it

I'm afraid to

I slept there as a child

My Aunt promised

to keep my things there for me

And now... I'm afraid to go in

Don't be.

Come on!

I prefer to dream, like you said

I heard my first lullaby in that room

My Aunt Maria composed it

She'd sing it

when I was in bed at night

It was our secret

It went like this

Sleep now

Sleep now

Shut your eyes and dream dear

While I sit and scheme dear...
