 Subspecies 4 : Bloodstorm ( 1998 ) begins with a badly burnt Radu able to find refuge in his crypt . A car accident takes the lives of everyone but Michelle , who is discovered by a stranger named Ana . Upon seeing Michelle 's reaction to the sunlight , Ana takes her body to her former professor , Dr. Nicolescu , who quickly determines that Michelle is a vampire . When Michelle wakes , Dr. Nicolescu promises to cure her of her vampirism . Dr. Nicolescu is a vampire himself , but uses science to allow him to be immune to vampire weaknesses , with the exception of needing blood , and hopes to use Michelle to get the blood stone and therefore a cure for his condition . With his strength restored , Radu travels to Bucharest to claim the financial wealth one of his previous " fledglings " , Ash , who has acquired in the Vladislas . Radu enlists Ash 's help to track down Michelle , while Ash 's own fledgling , Serena , attempts to play Radu and Ash against each other . Radu discovers Michelle 's location , and Dr. Nicolescu agrees to give her to Radu in exchange for three drops of blood from the Bloodstone . Radu agrees , but it was only a trick to allow Dr. Nicolescu the opportunity to capture and stake Radu . Michelle arrives releases Radu , and the two flee to safety . Serena arrives immediately after and gives Ana a key to the Vladislas crypt , where Radu is , with instructions to kill Radu . Ana and Dr. Nicolescu arrive at the tomb , but Radu awakens and kills Nicolescu . Radu turns his attention to Ana , but Michelle slices his throat , allowing Ana enough time to decapitate Radu . They burn his body and take the Bloodstone . Ash and Serena are waiting at the opening of the crypt , but a caretaker , hearing Ana 's screams , opens the crypt and spills sunlight inside . Michelle is hidden in a coffin and transported out of the cemetery , while Radu 's head sits on a pike burning in the sun .
