"I remembered his name, and I had the distinct feeling that he was familiar to me somehow, but that was it. The only reason he attacked Dracula was because of the fact that he went after Beauty. Once she was safe, he made no attempt to stop him from leaving. That, I think, is the problem. The Beast has a rather one-track mind, and a short attention span." Once Dracula ceased to be a threat, it was very likely that the Beast would stop caring and let him do what he liked. Yes, he wanted to get to Mina, but if he couldn't then there was nothing stopping him from moving on. There was still Lucy, and if he could take care of Van Helsing, he would do it. "Then I suppose, if he does give up on Mina, then we can only hope that the Beast manages to stop him. If he encounters Van Helsing, well..."

I trust him entirely, and I also happen to know that he has a soft spot for Ella, so there is no need for me to worry."
