Greetings fellow readers and for those who are or aren't familiar with me, I am NeoNimbus. Initially, I haven't planned on writing another story, but after a long while, I decided to give a shot. However, The Newcomer is still my top priority and as such, this story won't be updated as much. Nevertheless, I do intend on finishing this story up as soon as I can.

Before any of you say anything, no, I am NOT a fan of the Twilight series. I don't like that series then and I don't like it now. This is just my own take on vampires (and the supernatural) in general.

Now that I am finish with that, I'll just get straight to the point: I do not own The Amazing World of Gumball. I only own this story and the characters written for it.

Hope you enjoy this story!

The Vampire

An Amazing World of Gumball Story

By NeoNimbus

Prologue-A New Home

It was a dark and cold night on the outskirts of Elmore, as the winds blew the trees as hard as they could, leaves dancing through the air like no tomorrow and the moon shines brightly as the sun. It seemed that this will be another night like the night before. Or at least, it was supposed to be.

Suddenly, on top of a desolated hill, a huge vortex opened, causing an old, ancient castle to slowly ascend above. Even more amazingly, a huge storm formed above the castle, tremendously roaring as lightning cracked and whipped all over the place and the winds increasingly become ferocious. When the castle finally settled itself on top of the hill, the mysterious weathers suddenly ceased, as if they never happened at all.

The ancient castle looked down on the town of Elmore with bleak and despair, its nature given off a frightful presence in its own surroundings. Then, in a blink of an eye, the castle is suddenly brought to life by its ghoulish servants, as they quickly took actions to make preparations all over the building, making adjustments to their new surroundings.

While the servants were getting the castle cleaned up and making several repairs around the building, high atop of the tower, on the balcony, a young girl looked down on what will soon be her new home with complete boredom. She was a vampire bat, with light grey fur, a black nose, pearl earrings attached to her ears, wearing a black sweater, a dark blue skirt and a pair of white socks and red sneakers.

As the young bat continues watching the scenery from down below, she suddenly felt a quick breeze from her shoulder, prompting her to turn around and there she saw her dad standing near the entrance, also a vampire bat, but with dark grey fur, as he looked at his daughter with great concern.

"Is there anything troubling you, Camilla?" the Elder Vampire Bat asked his daughter. After a few seconds of silence, Camilla sighed before she eventually gave her dad an answer.

"I don't like the idea of moving to a dump like Elmore." Camilla replied. "Seriously, was it really necessary to move here to begin with?"

"Sweetie pie, I understand how you feel…" Camilla's Dad attempted to explain. "But the last thing your mother and I wanted was facing another mob after that last fiasco you pulled."

"Those villagers deserved to get their just desserts! After the way they treated our family, I couldn't tolerate such behavior anymore." Camilla retorted, justifying her action.

Camilla's Dad shook his head in dismay by his daughter's behavior. For the last few weeks in Transylvania, his daughter had been stirring up a lot of trouble whenever she dropped by, whether it would setting a store ablaze or sending a swarm of crows to any unfortunate travelers, in spite of his best attempt to control her actions. But the last straw for the villagers came when Camilla intentionally destroyed a statue of their founding father; needless to say, that disastrous event forced him to move the entire family, along with their servants, to relocate to Elmore, in hopes of starting a new life.

With these thoughts in mind, Camilla's Dad confronted his daughter once more.

"Camilla, you have every right to be angry, but attacking people and destroying properties isn't in our nature. You'll only succeed in causing chaos and mayhem wherever you go, as well as upsetting your own family. Is that what you want?"

Camilla was about to retort when she saw her father's stern look, prompting the young vampire bat to look down on the ground, realizing just how upset he is at her. Sensing his daughter's emotion, the stern expression from Camilla's Dad slowly disappeared, replaced by concerned.

"Camilla…" her father spoke once more."I'll admit that the local's actions against us upset me as well, but that doesn't give us the right to terrorize them. All it does is add fuel to the flame and will keep growing until it can no longer be contained. The point is you can't let grudges control your life all the time. It's best if you simply let them go. Do you understand?"

Camilla's dad waited for his daughter to reply, his arms crossed and tapping his foot lightly. Finally, after a long silence, Camilla finally gave her dad her response.

"…Yes dad, I do."

"That's all I wanted to hear." says Camilla's dad as he smiled. "Besides, there's actually a reason why we moved to Elmore to begin with."

"There is?" Camilla asked, arching an eyebrow in curiosity.

"Don't you remember about the Initiation?" Camilla's Dad asked.

Camilla continued to stare at her dad, having no clue what he was talking about. Slightly annoyed by his daughter's reaction, Camilla's Dad sighed before he began explaining to Camilla for the fourth or fifth time.

"For every young child of each Vampire clan, they must participate in the Initiation, a rite of passage that test each child of their respective clan, in order to determine whether they have gain the privilege to become a full-fledge vampire."

"You got to be kidding me, dad." Camilla responded, as she rolled her eyes. "I don't need to go through to that process. Besides, I've already proven I'm a vampire back in Transylvania."

"Terrorizing the locals and scaring livestock don't count." says Camilla's Dad, causing his daughter to moan in dismay.

"As I was saying…" Camilla's Dad explained once again. "The Initiation requires you to follow a strict guideline, so you need to listen very well, since this is very important. One, you must not reveal yourself as a vampire to anyone but your intended victim. Two, you cannot use your powers unless it's necessary. Three, you need to bring proof of your success by the end of the year. Do you understand Camilla?"

"Don't worry dad, I won't disobey you on this one." Camilla replied.

"Camilla, you have to-what did you just say?" Camilla's dad looked at his daughter, dumbfounded by the answer he had received just now.

"You heard me; I won't disobey you on this one." Camilla answered once again. "If it's really important, I don't see the point in arguing with you. Besides, as a Stoker, I'm going to ace this Initiation thing in no time."

With that in mind, Camilla teleport herself out of the tower, leaving a trail of purple smoke behind, while Mr. Stoker just stood there, pondering about his daughter's remark.

'I'm sure hope you know what you're doing, Camilla.' Mr. Stoker thought, before he too teleported out of the balcony.

As the entire Stoker Clan settled down in their new home, little do they realized that neither they nor the town are unprepared for the chaotic events that will soon follow, especially for a certain blue cat and his entire, dysfunctional family.

Next time on The Vampire

Gumball befriends Camilla on her first day of school and the vampire bat soon takes an interest in the blue feline.

Tidbits

-I apologize if the prologue was rather short, but don't worry, the next chapter will be quite long and I can guarantee that.

-Similar to Brian in "The Newcomer", Camilla will be treated no differently from the rest of the cast and as such, will face similar situations just like them.

-Like Brian, when I do OCs, I always visualized how the characters would sound like, based on their personalities. In Camilla's case, I have Jessica DiCicco (who voices Flame Princess on Adventure Time) voicing her.

-As earlier stated, I am NOT a fan of the Twilight series. This is basically my own take on vampires, along with the supernatural genre as well. Also, expect a lot of banters regarding the vampire tropes in future chapters.

-In case anyone hasn't figured out, Camilla's last name derives from Bram Stoker (the author of Dracula).

Hope you readers are enjoying it so far. If anyone here has a suggestion, leave it in your review or simply PM me, and I'm more than willing to see what you guys have to say.

Thanks everyone and see ya next chapter! :)
