Spooktober! will have (hopefully more than one) oneshots for Halloween's holiday season. It will have more paranormal beings than just ghosts. I have already started it off with a semi-cliche topic of vampire Vlad.
Enjoy!
Spooktober, Month of Terror Height
This was ludicrous! He was a halfa, not a vampire, so why did he long to take a bite of Sam's neck as bad as he was dying to?
They'd had a hard day of ghost-fighting. It had started around five in the morning with stopping yet another odious plot from Vlad, followed by a chain of ghost attacks. Sam had helped him with the ghosts, reminding Danny how sightly she was when she was in action.
After they'd caught most of Amity Park's more frequent visitors, it was dark, and Danny had his arms around Sam, flying her home.
Mouth-wateringly attractive, her exposed neck was brought out by her black choker, taunting him, and he couldn't look away. With little warning, he lunged.
"Danny!" Sam screamed, "What are you doing?"
Hearing his friend cry out, the young boy pulled away from her neck. Two short vampire teeth dipped from his mouth. Unsure of what had happened, the halfa landed on an empty sidewalk.
"Danny, you attacked me!" Sam shrieked. "I didn't know you were a vampire!"
Danny reached his hand to his teeth, and felt razor-sharp, but still miniature fangs, newly formed in his mouth. "Neither did I," he admitted. "I didn't mean to attack you."
"Well, you did! You know what? Maybe we should talk about this when you have more control over yourself!"
"Agreed. I guess I'll see you later."
Swiftly as she could without offending her friend, Sam headed toward her house.
"Hey, Sam?" Danny called. "Maybe you should bring some garlic next time you see me, you know, just in case I lose control again."
"You can count on that," Sam told him. "I'm sorry for doing this to you, Danny, but I don't want a repeat of what happened just now. I'll see you later, Danny."
"Okay, see you later," Danny said.
As he flew back to the Fenton Works, he was drained of energy, and distressed. 'Since when did I become a vampire?' he wondered. 'It must have been recently. I mean, I would've never thought about biting my friends last night. What if I bite Sam again? What if I bite anyone? This isn't like me, this so isn't like me, but how do I make sure it doesn't happen again?'
By the time he got back to his house, Danny had been sucked into a bad mood. Between his worried musings and seeing Plasmius floating above his cluttered floor, he was undeniably grouchy when he got in his room.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? WHY ARE YOU IN MY ROOM?!" Danny bellowed.
"And I had thought you were a bright boy, grades aside," said Vlad.
"What do you mean by that?"
Vlad sneered, displaying his pointed teeth, and hissed, "Who did you think bit you, little badger?"
The connection formed in Danny's brain. "Oh, I get it," he said. "It was the creep that shares Dracula's first name and is currently floating in my bedroom. I definitely don't remember inviting that weirdo in."
Chuckling, Vlad replied, "Ah, yes, but it only takes one occasion of an old 'friend' telling me I'm welcome in his house anytime, before I have access to him, his wife, and his children whenever I choose."
"I guess Dad could've let you in, but why did you wait until now to bite, when you could have done it any other time?"
"Because it's October," Vlad answered, "Unless you've chosen to use the ridiculous name your father gave it the other day: Spooktober."
"What does that have to do with anything?" Danny snapped.
"Mind your tone, little badger. You wouldn't want me to fly to your sister and bite her neck, would you?"
Seeing the teen shake his head, Vlad responded, "I didn't think so, Daniel. Why October, you ask? I thought it couldn't be any more obvious! October is the month of All Hallow's Eve. All supernatural beings are in their most active state this month. I'm sure you've noticed, since you insist on fighting every ghost that comes through your parents' portal."
"I was unaware that vampires were only active one month a year," Danny growled.
"It's true, normal vampires suck blood every night, not just in October. But being half-ghost prior to ever getting exposed to vampires has a certainly complicates things. My ghost half will satisfy the vampire part without blood, up until the month when paranormal activity is at its height."
"Alright, I get it! Half-ghost vampires only want to drink blood in October, but that doesn't explain why you're in my room!"
"It seems you've studied common vampires, boy, but you've forgotten a point. Vampires, once we consume the blood of a human, will continue feeding on them until we've finished the job and they're permanently transformed. That's when they go out to drink every night, and have the ability to turn those they bite into vampires." Vlad grinned. "Not being a common vampire,I do switch victims often, during October. It only takes me two feedings to finish my targets' transformation."
Vlad tackled the younger halfa, and Danny screamed as Vlad swooped upon him.
Amity Park, beware! There are vampires on the loose this month!
