Chapter 7 Beautiful but Evil

1
A few days _____later______, the newspapers began to report
2 3
____attacks______ on ______young______ children in north London. The
4
______childern_______ disappeared, but they were found later - after
5
_________midnigth______. They looked weak and 6______pale_____, and they had
wounds in their necks.

Van Helsing read the reports. 'What do you 7_____think_______?' he asked the
doctor, ‘Lucy had 8______neck_______ wounds too,' Seward replied. 'Exactly.'

'You don't mean...' 9______Seward_______ began.

10
Van Helsing continued: 'Have you still no ______ideia_____ how Lucy
11
_____died_______? She 12______lost_____ too much blood. How? Through wounds
in her neck, like these 13_____children_________. Now tell me - you were always a
quick 14______student______. What mean those wounds?'

15
'I've heard of vampire _____bats_____ in South America that drink blood,'
Seward said slowly. ' But we don't have bats like those here in 16_______England_____.
You want me to say that a vampire made these wounds. A vampire that is also a living
person. Only a madman can 17______belive_______ that.'

Van Helsing felt 18____sorry________ for the young doctor. 'There is something
19
worse - I have to ___say_____ it. It was a different vampire that drank these
20
children's blood. It is not the ____same______ as the vampire that drank Lucy's
blood. Lucy was the vampire that 21________attacked_______ the children.'

22
Jack Seward looked angrily at his old ____friend_______, but Van Helsing
continued: 'It is true. Of course, it is hard for you to believe. But I can
23
_______prove____ it.'

He took Seward first to the 24_____hospital________. There they looked at the

wounds on the neck of one of the children. They were exactly like the wounds on
25 26
Lucy's _____neck______. Then the two doctors went to the ____tomb______
where Lucy's coffin lay.
 'What are you going to do?' Seward wanted to know.

Van Helsing opened the top of the coffin and told Seward to look
27
______inside________. Seward looked. It was 28______empty_______.

‘Now,' Van Helsing said, 'we must wait 29_____outside________ the tomb.'

They waited until after 30______midnight_____. Then they saw something in the
31
______darkness_________ - a white shape was moving through the
32
___trees________. Van Helsing stepped out from behind a tree. The shape suddenly
disappeared, leaving a small 33___child________ asleep on the ground.

They took the child to a place where a policeman could easily find it. Then they
waited until 34_______daylight______ before Van Helsing took Dr Seward back to the
35
tomb. Lucy was lying in her _________coffin______. She was not pale like an
36
ordinary dead body. The colour in her _____face_____ made her more
37
______beautiful_________ than ever.

Van Helsing opened her mouth and showed Seward her 38____teeth__________.
'See - they are like knife points now. How many times does she have to use them on a
child's neck before you 39_______belive_______ me?' Seward could not take his eyes
40
off the evil but beautiful face of the ________woman_____ that he
41
_________loved______. 'What do we have to do?' he asked in a low, flat voice.

‘Cut off her head, till her mouth with garlic and push a thick piece of wood
42 43
through her heart. But not now. We ____are____ ___not____
44
_____ready________. And I must ask Arthur Holmwood 45___for____ 46____his_____
47
______________permission_____.'
