Mănăstirea Cârţa
(Cârţa Monastery, Romania)
"Have you seen Sophia?" Elaine asked everyone in the Abbey. All she gets were negative replies.
"Sophie, where are you??" Elaine is getting desperate.
"She left without saying a word." Elaine thought. She then took all of her clothes and packed them into a leather bag. She took a wooden blade and stole a horse in a nearby stable.
"I need to find her..." She said.

Mănăstirea Cozia
(Cozia Monastery, Romania)
The Bishop enters the confession booth and holds on to his Bible. He performs the sign of the cross before sitting down. Then he hears a young girl's voice from the right side of the booth.
"Forgive me Father for I have sinned..." The young girl said.
"Tell me your sins, child." The Bishop asks.
As the young girl is about to speak, her skin stars showing signs of burning. Very painful but she endures. She grips her hands together and tells the bishop,
"I... I fell in love with a monster. I-I broke my vows as a nun. And I... I..." She stutters.
"You are what, my child?" The Bishop asks.
"I am a Vampire!" She says while her skin starts getting burned. She cries in pain.
The Bishop walks out of the confession booth, "Come out, my child."
Sophia reluctantly came out of the confession booth with fear in her heart, sadness on her eyes, and pain on her skin. The bishop and approached her to examine her. He sees the two-dotted scar on her neck, the pointed fangs, and her reddish eyes. He sighs,
"Child. You must be in great pain." The Bishop examines her slowly-burning skin.
"Father, please help me. God hates me for what I am now. Please, help me!" She begs the Bishop. She falls to her knees crying.
The Bishop knees to her height and places his hand on her shoulder, "Do not think that God does not love you because of this curse. This curse was not your doing, was it?" He asks.
"No. It was Dracula, the man I fell in love with. He turned me into a creature of darkness." She confessed.
"God loves those who stay in the flock. But the ones that have lost their way are those he seeks. He loves you my child. He never hated you for what you are. Think of this as a test. He placed you where you are now for a reason. Remember that." The Bishop tells her.
"You are a servant of God. He is stronger than the monster. Have faith and you shall receive salvation. He only asks you to have faith." He continued. The Priest ushered her to enter a room devoid of holy artifacts to relieve her of her pain. "Tell me, my child, what happened?" He asked her as calm as he could manage. He thought that she needed someone to speak with.
"I was a nun of the Monastery of Saint Carta. I broke my vows and fled the with my lover, who turned out to be the most evil of all of the unholy-"
"Dracula?"
She hesitated to say the name again. "Yes, Dracula."
"Go on, my child."
"He took me to the forest of Poenari and under an odd moon, he placed his fangs under my skin."
The priest looked worried.
"Father? Is it something that I said?"
"Poenari forest, Odd moon, innocent young nun... Dracula you fiend..."
