Why did Dracula force Mina to drink his (her? Lucy's? Other victims? Whose blood runs in Dracula's body??) blood?

This seems like an easy question to answer based on lots of other vampire stories: to make her a vampire. But Van Helsing said that all she needed to do was die after Dracula fed on her, right?

Which has always sat wrong for me. By that logic, every baby the weird sisters killed would become a vampire. The sailors from the crew of the Demeter would wake up underwater and make their way to land (an image I find delightfully creepy, tbh). So Van Helsing must be wrong.

But did Dracula make Lucy drink his blood?

I guess we can't know for sure, but I don't recall anyone ever saying she had blood on her mouth.

So if it's not an action required to make a vampire, why did he make Mina do it? Just to be gross?

I hope this gets cleared up; I hate unanswered questions.

No memes of gentle breasts that are sad? I expect more from you Tumblr.

Alucard really miss his three wives.

When he remembers them, he won't show himself to anyone, he would just sit in the basement, alone, with pain as his only companion.

He is unable to overcome the grief of their loss and it doesn't even lessen.
