"Mirrors"[]
One child, two destinies: who is the daughter of Lilith of Drakulon? Is she a streetwise runaway human preteen, or is she Vampirella's deadly siren night-stalker evil twin? Two souls linked by a reality-jumping demon struggle for control of their own destiny as Draculina, Lilith's first and most beloved daughter, is brought into Vampirella's reality and linked to an alternate version of herself by a cursed candle which warps reality when lit, swapping Draculina with her other possible "self" — a tough homeless preteen struggling to make it on her own while being constantly drawn into Draculina's schemes. Establishing a secret identity for herself as "River East", high-profile socialite daughter of the missing and presumed dead Lilith Ogden Eastaughffe, Draculina presses forth with a secret, evil agenda of bloody retribution against everyone who's ever done her wrong, with only Katie — her alt-self—standing between her and her deadly goals.
"Katie" awakens in bed next to a naked dead man with vampire marks on his neck. Here we go again. Not overly concerned, she orders breakfast. A handler named Imogen arrives to dispose of the body. Katie partially explains her bizarre alternate reality connection to Draculina, who is now using the alias of River East. A talking rat named Stan enters the mix. Draculina meanwhile, assaults a motorist on the L.A. Freeway and takes from him the Medal of St. Elias, which is but one piece of the Daemon Periapt. The following day, Draculina assumes her River East guise and delivers the piece to a vampire named Louis Zylaven.
