Soon Dracula is stalking Lucy. As time passes Lucy begins to suffer from episodes of sleepwalking and dementia, as witnessed by  her friend Mina.
Lucy begins to waste away ,Dr Seward invites his old teacher, Abraham Van Helsing to take a look at her as his experience in strange diseases was greater than his.
As Van Helsing examines Lucy he finds the two small fang wounds  He has an idea what it can be but He has to research it first so He tells the concerned parties He must go away for a day to confirm his thoughts.
Van Helsing enters the monastery library,and deep in its dungeons is a book only a few know about due it's dark diabolical nature of its subject.
Inside the book made of human skin and written in human blood is the true account of a witness who saw how a creature to be known as nosfertu and to the local myths as vampire due to its appearances as a bat and suck it's victims dry similar to nature's vampire bat.
Van Helsing read how if an victim has become a source for the vampire it while have two small gang marks on its neck and ask gradly get very ill and die.

Van Helsing return s but  refuses to disclose it but diagnoses  of Lucy's acute blood-loss.,  He prescribes numerous blood transfusions to which he, Seward, Quincey, and Arthur will contribute over time. , also  garlic flowers to be placed throughout Lucy's room and weaves a necklace of withered garlic blossoms for her to wear.
 However she continues to waste away – appearing to lose blood every night due to the Count being able to instruct her to remove these offensive items due to it affecting his breathing and stopping him from show his love for her.
While both doctors are absent, Lucy and her mother are attacked by a large black  wolf and Mrs. Westenra, who has a heart condition, dies of fright.
Van Helsing attempts to protect her with garlic but fate thwarts him each night, whether Lucy's mother removes the garlic from her room, or Lucy herself does so in her restless sleep. After Lucy dies, Van Helsing places a golden crucifix over her mouth,which to the others seems a strange ritual but he insists it is part to six her to soul to six into the heavenly gates, ostensibly to delay or prevent Lucy's vampiric conversion.
Fate conspires against him again when Van Helsing finds the crucifix in the possession of one of the servants who stole it off Lucy's corpse.

Following Lucy's death and burial, the local newspapers report children being stalked in the night by a "bloofer lady" (i.e., "beautiful lady") and the children then found dead drained completely of all their blood and the strange gang like Mark's on their necks.
 Van Helsing, knowing Lucy has become a vampire, confides in Seward, Lord Godalming, and Morris and regaled his findings in the notorious book in the monastery and all look at him in shock,awe,and a little fearful that such a creature as an vampire should exist.
 The suitors and Van Helsing track their once beloved Lucy, who is now a monster in there eyes, down and, after a confrontation with her, stake her heart, behead her, and fill her mouth with garlic as mentioned in the book as the only way to finally kill this creature,on doing so Lucy transform s to her former self,prays are said by all attending.
 Around the same time, Jonathan  arrives from Budapest, where tells the others of his  escape and he about the Count being a vampire who must be destroyed,he marries Mina, and all of the others join him and Van Helsing on a hunt to fix The world of The vampire Count Dracula.
