Alpha Wolf

You're a lot older and not exactly at one hundred percent right now.
Dracula is still in peek condition.
You're on his home turf.
There are other hostile Vampires, Ghouls and Humans here, not to mention Dracula's new boy Van Helsing.

You're not going to win this one.

Maybe if you were still alone you'd do it anyway, but Mary's words have had an effect on you. Your pride in the past is what got you into a lot of trouble, and most of it was unnecessary. With age comes wisdom, and maybe its time you started to act your age. Your past accomplishments have spoken for themselves; you don't need to prove you still have "one last fight" in you. Why die pointlessly for some feud that nobody else cares about, and throw away a potentially good future with Mary?

"Alright Mary, alright." You say.

Mary looks surprised, as if she thought you wouldn't listen to her, but she's pleased never the less. Having been involved with Dracula and been in his castle in the past, she is of course quite familiar with the secret passages of the place and you both leave quietly.

After resting up a bit, you get back to work on that movie with Mary. You of course still insist on her making changes to the script, which she does. The movie comes out and its relatively successful, it's not going to make you a superstar again, but it's good enough. Eventually you move in with Mary and live out the rest of your life with her.

You always expect Dracula to attempt to get you somehow for escaping, but he never does. In fact that whole event is never even brought up or made public, since you were also expecting slanderous attacks about how you ran away to show up in magazines or something. Maybe it was because he was too busy having trouble with his new lover Jacob attempting to get palimony, or maybe he didn't think the feud was that important either.

You still always will wonder what might've happenedÂ…
