    She is, in some way, forgotten in all this Draculea stories. Where is the truth and the myth in the life of this hungarian aristocrate. Everytime that I read something about her, she is always see as the woman vampire, the evil creature who search to destroy life. Behind all those myths about vampires, there is a crazy woman who wanted to maintain her beauty and stop time (poor dear, today she probably just use botox!*LOL*). Does the fact that she supposedly bathed in the blood of young girls make's her a vampire?!!!! Well, she was just a criminal, like many aristocrats in her time, who had priviledges that the people didn't had. I rememberd the compagnion of Jeanne d'Arc, Gilles de Rais. He was accused of abusing children, little boys... How one of the best friends of a saint, could act like this? There's some questions that we'll never know the answerd.
