She then continues to screw around with their minds, making them more freaked out.

* DeathBySex: Literally, Lucy winds up turned when she seduced by Dracula and they have sex which winds up going off the bed to the ceiling (due to Drac's flying powers). She's so mesmerized that she doesn't notice Drac spouting fangs until he bites her.


Added DiffLines:

* DeadlineNews: Valerie, a news woman reporting on the plane crash that was originally flown by the thieves, ends up having her pre-recorded news segment interuptted by a revived Dracula who proceeds to kill her cameraman and make her into a vampire.


Added DiffLines:

* TranshumanTreachery: Unknown for the first two woman (Solina was always dubious since she was a thief and not much is known about the other) but Lucy has no problems turning against Mary once she's becomes a vampire.
