Lust of the Vampire Page #3

---

But I know this song.

You sang it last night

This is the first time I've sung it

I've heard it.

I heard it last night

That's impossible!

Only my aunt and I know it

She's dead.

Maybe it was a voice from beyond

It must have been

But ghosts don't sing!

Anyway, I'm always hearing things

Come on, let's look

Please don't!

Could have been shut

for 1000 years

All dust and spiders

There's a doll's crib

Is it yours?

Yes

Go and have a look

You might as well

Go on!

It's her!

I saw her!

Who?

My Aunt Maria's in there!

What's wrong?

My Aunt's in there!

She was wearing a black dress and

holding a crucifix like this

Eyes wide open

and hair down to her shoulders

Here. Try to calm her down

Come on, child.

It's all right

What is it, doctor?

There's nothing here

It was an illusion

But, doctor,

she described my sister...

...exactly as we buried her!

Really?

Yes, doctor

Really?

I'm off!

No, I beg you - don't go

Please stay

She needs you.

She's scared

Now, Emilio,

let's get this straight...

You ask me here

to decide if your sister...

...who sees vampires,

is really mad

Yes or no?

I arrive to find her dead

Now your niece sees her

as clearly as I see you

Please, doctor...

All right

I'll stay a few hours

But at 8 I'll be on that train

This place disturbs me

Where's Marta?

In her room

Let's go

There now dear

Get ready

Forget about it

Go talk to the young man

Don't stay alone with your thoughts

Think of the living

Forget the dead

Marta...

Duval will be here soon

Yes, auntie

Go and prepare everything

Certainly, Ma'am

Try to look your best

Duval really wants to meet you

He wants to buy the Sycamores

He's coming just to meet you

You need jewelry

Try this

That'll be him

Marta was looking for my reflection

It's bad

Use the ring

Good evening Mr Duval

Please come in

Marta is coming

Good evening

Nice to meet you again,

Mr Duval

Don Emilio...

It's time

You have to go?

The train's due

Here's your book.

Thank you.

Here comes my niece,

Mr Duval

How are you?

- Something's happened

- What?

Later

Mr Duval - Marta

How pretty

I'm delighted to meet you at last

It's a real pleasure

I'll get my hat

Please stay!

It's late

Surely you can take

a drink with us, sir?

Well - maybe a quick one

It's one of our best wines

I'm sure

Mr Duval, you really

ought to read this book

It's very interesting

About that countryman of yours

who lived here years ago

He was staked through the heart

What for?

Vampirism

Your drinks

That's in this book?

That's right

- For you, Marta

- No, thanks

Come on, Marta.

It's good for you

This book you read...

- Who wrote it?

- No-one

It's a transcript of the trial

of those who killed the vampire

But... why did they

bury him downstairs?

For safety

It would stop

more vampires coming

Or so they believed

According to the legend...

...if the vampire is not buried

where he dies...

...someone from that vampires' family

comes to take vengeance

So that the dead vampire

can rest easy in his grave

Strange stuff

You believe in vampires?

Me? No, of course not!

Excuse me, sir

Take it away!

Marta - Marta - what's wrong?

Don Emilio - my bag!

Bring my bag!

My niece's illness has

spoiled a pleasant evening

Don't worry about it

I can wait

Anselmo -

show Mr Duval to the gate

Goodnight

There's a smaller bag inside

What is it, doctor?

Tell me!

What is it?

She's dead!

She just moved, sir

What?

She moved

I was watching

It was her little finger

lmpossible

Anselmo is no liar, sir

What if she wakes up in the tomb!

Her pupils are contracted

My bag, please!

She's breathing!

Remove these

Take her upstairs

She needs a shot

Gently

She should come round soon

The symptoms are always the same

Am I right doctor?

Yes - usually

Suppose this is what happened

to Maria Teresa

...and when she woke up

and opened her eyes!

Stop this!

It's all over now

No, doctor.

Come with me, please!

I must know!

Just for my own peace of mind

Come with us Anselmo

Go on

Empty!

What is this?

I don't know, sir

Tell them Anselmo

We can't keep it secret

any more

What?

We found this note

Hurry - I'm not dead

Open the casket and take my body

to the tunnel behind the cross

And so we did, sir

She's still there

Open it up, quick!

Go on

Who's there?

Maria Teresa!

He's a doctor - a friend

You bought a doctor

to see if I was crazy

No

Don't lie to me!

Look what they did to me

Those two - they tried to murder me!

Thought I was dead

They'd got away with it

They gave me a powerful drug

so I'd seem dead...

...and wake up in the tomb!

They wanted me to die of terror

inside the coffin

I found out just in time

I know their secret now

They can't fool me

I heard them talking out there

And one day, they caught me

Tried to kill me

Vampires!

Both of them

That monster in the cloak

has come to open this tomb

To set him free

We must stop them

Kill them in their sleep

Drive stakes through their hearts

Listen to me!

Do it - before it's too late

I'm not mad

I'm not mad!

She'll be safe here

Until tomorrow

Now you know why

you had to come secretly

If she isn't crazy,

then what she says is true...!

Don Emilio!

What?

The same name

What?

Look in the mirror

Duval!

Gone!

Where?

They went this way.

Must be a secret door

I'll get a lamp

Don Emilio!

Anselmo - he's hurt

What is it?

Marta!

Well - this is it

But first, let me say this...

...with all my heart

Goodbye...

Your bag!

THE END:
