Mina Harker

"The perfect life, the kind you dream of, waits for me. And yet, and yet, I can't shut out this sense of dread. This haunting doubt..." Mina Murray Harker. ((Indie Mina Murray-Harker from the Dracula musical, with many influences from the book. Sideblog to whxtsmyname. Loved and brought to life by Aura, September 15th, 2018.))

Jonathan kept a firm grasp of Mina’s hand as she began to push, whispering sweet encouragements into her ear as she worked to birth their child. Jack, too, was pleased with her first go. “Good, good, Mina. Good work.” This was all new to him and he felt a swell of pride in his chest for what Mina was doing. What a magnificent thing it is, to create life. While he’s been conditioned to see it as a medical event, Jack cannot help but he shook. His part of that process, should he ever have children, was nothing compared to hers. Both men were frankly in awe of what she was doing. “You are doing well, Mina,” Jonathan smiled. “I am so proud of you.”

Mina smiled weakly when he praised her, when they both did. “Thank you both.” She managed to get out, breathing a little heavier as a result of the exertion. This was exhausting, but she knew she was close to the end now. Soon their child would be in the world, and she could relax and just hold their baby in her arms. She went with her body, and when she felt the urge to push again, she did just that.

Jonathan clutched tightly to Mina in turn as she sprang awake, strong her hair and shushing her. “Hush now, love. It was only a nightmare,” he said rather unnecessarily. But perhaps it wasn’t entirely unnecessary? She seemed utterly petrified, and her inability to be roused until now terrified him to his very core. But the monster was dead, wasn’t he? Nothing to fear but fear now. As he opened his eyes for a brief moment and looked past her, he noticed something on the dresser that was not there before: a red ruby.

Mina wasn’t so sure that it was ‘only a nightmare’, though if she was asked why she thought this she wouldn’t be able to explain why. Her gaze followed his, and she gasped and clutched tighter to his shirt, practically clinging to him. She was almost positive that ruby hadn’t been there when they’d gone to bed, and now it was. “What does it mean?” she whispered fearfully, not actually expecting him to have an answer.

In the real world, it was indeed Jonathan repeating her name and shaking her gently in order to wake her up. “Mina, sweetling, please. Come on, Mina, wake up.”

Dracula continued to chase her, but could never quite catch up. “Where are you, Mina? Miinnaaa??” He drew out her name in a sing-song pattern, stalking through the mists he had created in order to entrap her. “Mina!”

Mina woke up terrified, shaking and sobbing as she clutched desperately to Jonathan. “Jonathan!” She cried, burying her face in his shoulder and clutching him like her life depended on it. In this moment, after that horrific nightmare, it felt like her life did depend on holding him, on him being there with her. Like if she let him go he’d disappear or Dracula would come back.

Dracula lagged behind, trying to make her afraid. He kept calling out her name, and her voice soon transitioned into that of her dear husband Jonathan.

“Mina! Mina! Mina!”

Mina tried desperately to ignore him. Even as she heard Jonathan’s voice, she knew it wasn’t him. It was Dracula tricking her. Somehow, some way, she had to wake up. “Help!” She cried out, despite knowing that this was a dream.

“Whitby? Is that where you come from?” Mary asked curiously. She knew little about England, save for the colonisers who hadn’t done a particularly great job with where she came from in her opinion. “You must be quite close to them then,” she assumed, smiling. “That’s nice. Family is important.”

Mina nodded when Mary asked where she came from. “Yeah, that’s where I come from. And I like to think that I am pretty close to my family.” She didn’t see them that often anymore, because of living here in London. “Are you close to yours?”

“I have to admit that it took some time before I finally decided to come here. I do not like travelling much.” She’d rather stay at home, in her own country. “But I have missed my brother so much, and he could not come to America. Do you have any siblings?”

Mina felt the same way. “I agree, I don’t really like to travel further than London, unless it’s to Whitby.” She shook her head at Mary’s question. “No, I’m an only child. I have several cousins though. And that almost feels like the same thing sometimes.” She smiled fondly.

“Yes, please,” he said. Abel had nursed alcohol all night, just so he could clearly watch and take part in the gathering without feeling the affects. Now he could imbibe and enjoy it. “Mina, thank you so much for everything. You and Johnathan. You have been so gracious to me.”

Mina pulled the bottle from the refrigerator and grabbed a wine glass, pouring him some. She didn’t get any for herself-Mina didn’t really have a taste for wine any longer. Not red wine, at least. “Of course.” She put the glass in front of him. “You deserve it.”

Dracula continued to pursue her, the ground now covered in mist. “But you? You? If you say so, Mina. Run.”

Mina definitely didn’t need to be told twice. She immediately took off running with the intention to get as far away from him as quickly as possible.

Mina didn’t hesitate to kiss him right back. “Happy New Year, love of my life.” She whispered, smiling adoringly when the kiss broke.

“Right.” That was logical and something she could’ve considered too. Her ignorance made her blush. “Have you ever been anywhere but England and… well, the thing we wouldn’t talk about anymore?” She said carefully, trying not to let their conversation escalate again.

Mina thought about it, shaking her head. “I haven’t. And after my experience...there, I don’t really have the desire to go many other places.” Even though her encounter with Dracula proved she wasn’t technically safe in London, either, but she didn’t say this.

“You think this is a matter of the Heart? No, Mina! Not anymore! I have seen what is to come and I will spare you it.”

“It’s my life and my choice!” Mina snapped back at him, savagely. “No one else gets that decision in what happens to it but me.”

Jonathan was so very proud of her. How she managed to accomplish this was beyond her. He himself is a big baby when in pain and she seems most upbeat. Jack kept doing his best to be distracting her from the pain and for that he was thankful in the utmost. He kissed his wife and rubbed her belly. “Our baby will be beautiful just like their mother.”

A few more hours passed this way and Jack smiled at Mina. “I think it’s time to meet him!”

Mina smiled gently at his compliments. “And like their father.” She murmured. A few hours later, she was definitely ready to get this baby out into the world. “I think you’re right.” She murmured, groaning as another contraction passed through her body. She felt the urge to push, so that was what she did.

Dracula, on the other hand, did all he could to keep invading her personal space. “What is a fleeting eight decades against eternity, eh?” He outstretched his hand to her. “Life and youth eternal.”

Mina continued in her attempt to put as much space between the two of them as possible. “I already told you no!” She snapped. “My heart belongs to someone else, and always will.”
