IMPORTANT: After some thought and a couple reviews that made me open my eyes, I realized how rushed this chapter is so I decided, readers look at this chapter as more of a teaser chapter than part of the actual story. I'm sorry to say but I probably wont be working on this much until my Bard story is complete. I'm horrible for multitasking and I'm afraid I might get the characters to meshed together. So for now I'm just going to focus on my Bard story and once that's completed I'll start on this one.
I mainly just wanted to publish this so I don't forget the idea and to see what people thought about it so far :) Thank you for the criticism in the reviews, it helped alot. So as I said, for now this shall just be a teaser chapter until I start working on the story.
;) Enjoy~

SPOILERS AHEAD I also suggest you see the movie before you read this as well, as I'm kind of starting it post movie so it'd probably make more sense to watch it before reading this.
Hm..can't think of anything else I should add in here. Other than ENJOY! :D

Jasmine flipped through the books in front of her, her lips set in a thin line. Her gaze scanned over the words on the pages, letting out a soft sigh.

"All stories start somewhere.." She told herself, flipping through the pages before shutting the book again.

Bram Stoker's Dracula. It was just story, but she wanted to find the origins of the story. Where it began.

Ever since she was a child she was enthralled with the idea of the legendary vampire. Reading the story and then the movie when it was released. But as she got older, her obsession took to another level. She wanted to find the truth behind Dracula.

Had there been any evidence before now, it was probably long lost in the folds of history. And she sure wasn't going to find it at the public library.

Letting out a defeated sigh, she stood from her seat, taking her books with her as she exited the building, walking down the steps. Her green gaze scanned the people that strolled down the sidewalk, clutching her books to her chest as she began the descent down the stairs.

"This is futile." She mumbled to herself, heading down the sidewalk as she lost herself in her thoughts, not spotting the person standing in front of her as she rammed into his back, stumbling backwards as her books tumbled to the ground.

A warm sensation enveloped her hand, startling her slightly as she looked up, finding herself staring at a man. A very handsome one at that. His dark hair was slicked back slightly, but a few loose strands fell around his face. His dark eyes gazed upon her, feeling her face warm up slightly as she stared.

"Are you alright?" He asked, pulling her up straight as he smiled softly. "Sorry, I suppose I shouldn't stand in the middle of the sidewalk huh?" He chuckled, looking down at the books that had fallen to the ground.

His gaze lingered slightly, an eyebrow raising. "Dracula?" He mused, bending down as he picked up the book, staring at the cover curiously.

Jasmine snapped out of her stupor, shaking her head slightly as she cleared her throat. "N-No sorry, its my fault. I wasn't watching where I was going." She said, kneeling down as she gathered the fallen books, glancing over at the one he held in his hands.
"Um yeah.." She laughed nervously. "I've kinda been obsessed with the tale since I was a kid." She admitted sheepishly, stacking the books in her arms once more. "Its silly, I know." She shook her head slightly.

"Its not silly." He replied, standing up as she mimicked his movements, glancing at her again. "I don't think I've met someone so intrigued with the story before." He looked at her, examining her soft features. Her hair was a soft chestnut brown, bright intelligent eyes peered back at him.

Jasmine felt her heart skip a beat slightly, her grip tightening on the books. "Have you ever heard of the saying, every story starts somewhere." She asked him curiously.

Vlad's eyes flashed slightly. "Every bloodline has a beginning." He nodded, watching her. "I've heard of it." He told her, smiling gently.

Jasmine nodded, looking at the books in her hands. "Well, that's what got me curious." She said, shifting her weight onto a different leg. "I've loved the stories since I was small, and now that I'm older I was curious to know where it came from and how the story started. I wanted to know the origins, who Dracula really was and how he came to be. The stories said he was immortal, so there's always that possibility that he could still be living somewhere. Unless it really is just a story.." She let out a defeated sigh. "But everything I've come across is either something I've already read or just made up myths by superstitious people." Her shoulders dropped slightly.

Vlad watched the girl in front of him, hearing her heartbeat pick up speed as she spoke of the subject. The light in her eyes, the excitement in her voice as she spoke. His gaze dropped back to the book in his hands once again.
"What if..I could tell you?" He asked her suddenly, holding the book out to her.

Jasmine stared at him for a few moments, before taking the book from him. She laughed softly though. "Unless you're Vlad Tepes yourself, I doubt anyone will know the true story behind Dracula." She shook her head slightly, before smiling. "I don't mean to doubt you, but I've spent years researching the legend."

Vlad couldn't help but chuckle lightly, hearing the doubt in her voice. "Do you have something to write on?" He asked her suddenly.

Jasmine blinked at the question, before nodding. "Yeah sure.." She said, shifting the books into one arm before she dug inside her bag, pulling out a paper and pen. "Here."

Vlad took the supplies from her, kneeling onto one knee as he used his other for a hard surface. He wrote down an address, date and time before returning the paper and pen to her. "Come see me on that date, I might be able to give you some more insight on what you seek." He told her, offering a smile before he headed down the sidewalk.

Jasmine stood there as she stared at the paper in her hand, feeling slightly irritated by the man who acted as if he knew so much. She stuffed the paper into her bag once more, muttering something under her breath as she gathered her books into her arms so they wouldn't fall.

"One more thing!" She heard from behind her, turning around as she saw the man again. "Whats your name?" He asked her.

Jasmine was hesitant at first, before figuring it wouldn't do much hard to tell him her name. "Jasmine." She replied finally.

He nodded in response, before smiling. "Well, have a nice day Jasmine. I hope to see you soon." He told her, before continuing on his way.

Jasmine watched him walk away, before realizing she never even got his name. "Hey wait!" She called, but he had already disappeared into the crowd of people. She stood there for a few moments before she sighed. "Well that went well.." She muttered, shaking her head slightly before continuing on her way back to her apartment.

Authors Note: I am the worst kind of author ;_; (*WRITE ALL THE LUKE EVANS STORIES*) I am SO sorry guys. I just went to see Dracula Untold in theaters this afternoon and I have to admit, it was absolutely amazing. I suggest you guys go see it as soon as you can. I actually was originally gonna start writing something for a roleplay with a friend and somehow it ended up being an entire chapter that I decided to publish. Worry not! I'm going to start working on another Bard chapter soon. I just needed this idea out of my head before it drove me nuts(and or the idea disappeared) :3
