When Van Helsing came back up to me at si o'clock. Arthur was still asleep downstairs. Van Helsing went over to Lucy and look at her. 'The wounds on her neck have gone,' he said. 'She will soon be dead. Bring Arthur.'
When Arthur and I came back, Lucy opened her lovely eyes. 'Oh Arthur,' she said softly. 'Kiss me, my love.'
He moved his head nearer to her, but Van Helsing pulled him back. 'No!' he cried. Fou a minute, Lucy's face was hard and angry. She open her mout, and her teeth looked very long and sharp. Then her eyes closed and she slept. Soon she woke again, took Van Helsing's hand and said softly, 'My true friend.' And then, quietly, Lucy died.
