‘Oh, Mina, my love!’ I cried. I took her in my arms. ‘What has happened? Tell us!’ I was wild with fear.
Mina shivered. ‘Don’t leave me!’ she cried. ‘Oh, please don’ leave me!’ Her face was pale, and we could see two little wounds on her neck. She put her head in her hands and gave a long terrible scream. ‘Say with me!’ she cried.
And I held her in my arms until the first light of day showed in the east.
