(An idea I had, and wanted to experiment with. PS, Dracula came from Transylvania. A region of both Romania and Hungary. In both of these accents, they don't pronounce the 'U' in Dracula. The villagers in this story use the same accent. On with it).

(The Kingdom of Atlas. 1899).

The kingdom of Atlas. Ruled by a mysterious Countess, who resided in the massive, towering, intimidating castle in the heart of the kingdom. For four centuries, no one had dared enter the castle willingly. Now, however, someone had. A young man, who'd been sent here.

Jaune Arc, a humble servant of the Vale Royal family, had arrived. In his hand, two letters. One from his love, Phyrra. Another from his friend, Ruby Rose. He'd whispered to himself, "Don't worry, girls. I'll hopefully be home soon." He and Pyhrra were engaged to be wed. He couldn't wait.

But for now, the Royal Family had assigned him as a peacemaker. He'd been sent to this island, an island of legend, were the people cowered on fear of the towering castle. He'd been sent to find the Countess, and have her sign some papers.

He was with five villagers, two of whom would return to Atlas with him. The two were Nora Valkyrie and Lie Ren. Villagers of the island kingdom, who could no longer stand being there. They'd gotten to their destination, and got off.

Jaune said to the driver, "Keep my bags up there. I'm headed to the castle for a few days, then back to Atlas." He looked to the two villagers, "I'm sorry. But don't worry, the boat knows to wait for you. Once you two get on, you'll get to Atlas."

Ren said, confused at Jaune's intentions, "The castle?" Jaune nodded. Ren said, the fear far more obvious, "Castle Dracula?" He grabbed Jaune by the collar, "That is NOT wise." He whispered to Jaune, "Our people have a legend. We believe Dracula and her wives, yes she's nobility, she can have multiple wives. She likes other women. We believe them to be Vampires. Creatures who drink the blood of others, to continue their own lives. At night, they assume the forms of wolves and bats."

Jaune chuckled, "I'll keep that in mind, in case Countess Dracula disappears." He put a hand on Ren's shoulder, "Again, the boat has been told to leave, as soon as you're ready." He turned to the driver of the carriage. He said, "Take me to Borgo pass, and then we're done."

The driver said, "No further than Borgo Pass!" Jaune agreed, and prepared to depart.

Nora said, "Wait!" Jaune stopped. Nora handed him a Cross. She said, "It will protect you."

Jaune took the Cross, and put it around his neck. They headed to Borgo Pass, and Ren and Nora headed to the boat. They thanked God, as they departed safely.

Jaune enjoyed his ride up to Borgo Pass. They met up with another carriage. The carriage driver said to Jaune, "Countess Dracula sent me to retrieve you."

Jaune loaded up his luggage onto the carriage. The other carriage fled quickly, as if in fear of the other one.

They arrived at Castle Dracula, and Jaune got off the carriage. He walked up the stairs to the castle's entrance. It opened, as if on it's own. He could hear things. Like.. Whispers of the bizarre Atlas language. A shadow lurked up, almost on it's own. In the center of the castle, stood an elderly woman, with gray hair, past her knees. She had blue eyes, and was wearing red and white robes. She was holding up a lantern, to light up the room.

The elderly woman said, her accent thick as blood, "Welcome to my home." She saw the excitement and fear in Jaune's eyes, "Please leave some of the happiness you bring."

Jaune asked, "You are.. Countess Weiss Dracula III?"

The woman said, "I am Dracula." She opened her arms, "I bid you welcome, into my house." She lead Jaune over to a picture, "Your predecessor, Yang Xiao Long, I believe her name was?" She looked to Jaune, smiling, "You will take her place, nicely."

Jaune chuckled, "Yeah. She was sister my friend, Ruby Rose. When they threw Yang into the asylum, Ruby was devastated."

Dracula nodded her head, in understanding. She said, "This Ruby Rose.. Is she a close friend of yours?"

Jaune said, "Yeah. She introduced me to Pyhrra, my fiancé." He took out a picture, "This is them. The tall girl, with the long red hair? That's Pyhrra. The other one is Ruby."

Dracula looked at the picture. She was shocked by a revelation. The look of this 'Ruby Rose' looked familiar to her. She whispered, to where she knew the man couldn't hear her, "She's beautiful." She looked to the man, "Marriage, from what I hear, is very happy. I hope you enjoy it."

Jaune said, "I love Pyhrra. I really do. Look at me rambling on." He asked Dracula, "Have you ever been married, Countess?"

Dracula looked upset, "No. I had someone I loved. But I couldn't marry her. I wanted to, but I couldn't. The church damned her, and my father denounced her. Killed on her front of me. Then, I murdered my own father." She looked like she was about to start crying.

Jaune said, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have brought it up."

Dracula said, "It is alright." She pointed to a mirror and sink, "The finest water in Atlas comes to this castle. You can wash up here."

Jaune walked up to the sink, and looked in the mirror. Dracula had no reflection. But he saw her right there, behind him.

Dracula said to Jaune, "Enjoy the comforts of my home." She smirked, "While you can."

(Three days later).

Jaune began to notice strange things around the castle. Shadows that move on their own. Walls oozing blood. Dracula never drank wine. Jaune never saw her when the sun was up. He'd look from the castle's widows, and see the people during the day, looking so happy. Then, at night, the people would run to their homes in terror. While they did, Dracula woke calmly. She only owned the one mirror, that Jaune used a lot more than she did. Dracula never drank wine. But Jaune never saw her drink water either. But only one thing was really normal.

Letters would continue to come to Jaune. Letters about how Pyhrra missed him. He wrote back, explaining that he missed her too. Ruby also wrote letters, talking of how much she was trying to help Yang, but Yang refused to be helped.

After writing back, Jaune looked for Dracula. She had to sign papers, as she was planning a trip to Atlas. She said, after signing the last paper, "I bring with me, only three.." She tried to find the right word, "Boxes."

After that, she seemed to have disappeared from her own castle. He looked for her, only to find three women, dressed in rags. All beautiful women, but he was committed to Pyhrra. However, these women grabbed a hold of him.

Behind him, Dracula yelled, "He is mine!" The women stopped. Dracula smirked, holding a man in chains, "Your next meal is right here." The women turned to bats, beyond Jaune's comprehension, and swiftly grabbed the man from Dracula's hand. However, Jaune was paralyzed, unable to move anything beneath his neck.

Dracula walked over, undressing as she did. Jaune tried to look away. Dracula walked up, and bit into Jaune's neck. He felt weak, as all the blood spilled from his neck, to Dracula's mouth. Dracula slowly drank, and savored the taste of the young man's blood. Soon, she was done. Jaune was alive, much to his surprise, but in pain. He heard a voice say, "Bring him to the boat." The voice of a young woman said to Jaune, "Don't worry. You're coming back to Atlas with us."

Jaune opened his eyes, seeing a beautiful young lady, with blue eyes, a scar over the right one. She had white hair, tied into a long ponytail up to her waist. She was as pale as snow. Even as the moon. She had sharp, knife like fangs in her mouth.

Jaune asked, confused beyond belief, "COUNTESS DRACULA?!" She was an old woman a second ago. Now.. She looked at least seventeen.

The young lady smiled, "Yes. As said before, I am Dracula." She stood up, Jaune closing his eyes again. This time, not to be polite, but to not see anymore of her. However, Dracula spoke again, "But.. I feel a new name, for my journey to Atlas." She put a hand to her chin, and smiled evilly, "Schnee. Weiss Schnee. Yes, that will do."

Jaune laid unconscious, as Dracula and the other three women slept in their coffins, on the journey to Atlas.

(A/N: Just something I wondered why I didn't see more of. So, I decided to do it myself. Hope you like it.)
