"His red eyes again! They are just the same." (p.100)
-Signifies that Lucy and Mina know something horrible is happening.

COLOR RED:
-Blood (life source)
-Devil
-Evil
-Unnatural-If white means pure (virgin) then red means evil (lustful.)

Mina woke up in the middle of the night and realized Lucy was no longer in the room, the door was not locked but it was closed. Mina ran out looking for her. On Lucy's favorite seat, Mina found her, it looked as if a dark figure was standing behind her. As she approached she felt no joy. As she got closer saw the dark figure, yelled Lucy and the dark figure turned it's head, and Mina say red eyes. Mina ran to the church and when she came out Lucy was Still asleep and alone. Mina woke Lucy and they walked home, on the way she dabbed her feet in mud so no one should notice her bare feet even though the town seemed dead. Mina promised not to tell anyone about the night, not even Lucy's mother.

-Half-reclining white figure: Like the girl from the grudge.
-Light as sharp as a sword cut: A harsh light, very intense.

Why would Dracula attack Lucy first?
-When Lucy was out of the room Mina came out side, perhaps it was to get to Lucy.
-Perhaps it's because Lucy sleep walks.
-Lucy is attractive.

Lucy looks better than she has in weeks, but Mina believes she pricked Lucy with the pin. She thinks she must have pinched some skin up in it because there were two small pricks. Lucy seemed more rest full than she had in a long time, Mina made sure the door was locked. Mina was woken up by the noise of Lucy struggling to get the door open, but eventually Lucy went back to bed. Looking out of the Window the moon looked brilliant, she saw a large bat fly out of the window then continue flying around outside. Lucy murmured "His red eyes again! They are just the same." (p.100) Lucy looked dazed and Mina realized she was looking over at a dark figure sitting a bit a ways from them. Lucy went to bed early, and Mina took a walk. The moon was very bright, and helped Mina to see Lucy standing the the window. By the time Mina got back Lucy was laying fast asleep. Lucy looks more pale than ever.

-One the fifteenth of August Lucy has been tired. Lucy found out her and Arthur will be married soon.

Lucy has been looking weaker, and more and more pale. Mina has been guarding the door so Lucy has just been walking around the room and staring out the window. Mina woke Lucy and Lucy was very weak.

Letters were exchanged between movers and people asking for the boxes soon. But what could be in the boxes? They might be Dracula's, maybe the boxes of dirt. The dirt for Dracula makes it so things are his property, no one can enter with out Dracula inviting them in.

Lucy has seemed better, she still looks very pale though. When Lucy and Mina were sitting in their favorite seat, Lucy reminded me of that night. Lucy said it seemed like a dream but not at the same time. Dogs were howling and whole town could here, the dark figure was with her then she felt as she was sinking in green water. Mina got a letter than Johnathan has been ill, and she is to go to Transylvania to nurse him well. She packs her things right away, maybe it would be good for Johnathan and Mina to marry there.

Johnathan got a brain fever, I think that Dracula used his mind power to make Johnathan believe he was very ill. Johnathan wanted Mina there to nurse him well, and that was probably exactly Dracula's plan, there was no easier way to get Mina to come to Transylvania, with no suspicions.
