Pain.

That was what he first felt when the attack from the Dark lord struck him. Among the feelings of Betrayal, Greediness, Selfishness and Rage, the dominant one was Pain.

It seeped through every inch of his blood vessels, towards his Heart and Brain. He let out a blood curdling scream, to signify the amount of pain he was bearing, but to no avail. There was nobody there for him, not even his mother.

But, whatever kindness and pitiness left inside him was tortured and destroyed by darkness, finally leaving a new kind of feeling there. The need for Power.

He closed his eyes, half-enjoying and half- suffering the pain, letting a single drop of tear fall down. His last one.

The Dark Lord smiled at the little act of Drama presented before him. In due time, the pureblood wizard tortured before him was going to be a vampire. One of his minions. One of his kind.

As predicted, the curse ended and the young man slumped down before the lord and hit the floor. His blonde hair swept against his face and hid the vicious eyes he now held.

The Dark lord brushed his wand in completion. He sighed, made clicking noises with his tongue and slumped back at his throne, waiting with expectation for a glass of wine; no, Blood.

A black clothed man arrived holding a golden chalice in a platter. He handed it to the lord and stepped back.

"Bring some more….." The Lord hissed.

The man widened his eyes in astonishment.

"But, Sir….."

"It's for our young little friend here, Fool! DO AS I SAY!"

The man scurried out of the room and brought back another chalice.

"Lord Tepes, I have brought…."

The lord silenced him with a wave of his hand. He then made his way to observe something that perceived the eyes of his minions.

It was a small hole. Probably never noticed by his people since the atmosphere and the environment was completely covered with darkness, thought the lord. But if it was dark, then what the heck…..!

"Vincent," Lord Dracula was outwardly calm. "May I know what this is..?"

Vincent gulped. He knew what the consequence was of the people who opposed the lord.

"Your highness, I was just about to close the hole, so not to create inconvenience for you….."

"NOT ABOUT THE HOLE, YOU IDIOT!" The lord bellowed, "About what is protruding out…"

"Uh, sunlight….."Vincent stammered. He disliked the sun. After all, he was a vampire.

"Hmm…" The lord pondered about this new but sickening phenomenon.

He at last hit upon the answer. "Voldemort has been defeated…."

"Pardon….?" Vincent was perplexed.

"The light has come, brought by Harry Potter…."

Vincent trembled with fear and anticipation. He knew what that meant, the end of the reign of the vampires and the darkness.

"That means….."

"Yes Vincent, and if we don't act fast the end may come upon us. Wake up the boy now…"

"I'm already awake..!"

The new foreign voice caused Dracula and Vincent to turn around to face it. The same short blonde hair, hiding his facial features and his red vicious eyes which replaced silver was a real distinguishable change to his phizog. He slowly lifted his face towards the lord and smiled wickedly.

"Draconis, you are a real aid!" The lord taunted.

Draco Malfoy produced a smirk. He came closer towards the lord and bowed low, his robes touching the floor.

"Now, your command, Master!"

Dracula smiled darkly. He loved it when things went his own way.

"You know what to do, Draconis. Find the Vorpal sword and bring it here because only then will my armour be complete. After then I can conquer the universe itself!"

Draco nodded and exited the throne room. It might take months, maybe years, but being a vampire makes the mission easier than being a useless wizard who followed rules and regulations. He is finally going to get the respect he craved for.

He dare not disobey Lord Dracula. Because he knew the consequences.
