"I can't believe you're making do this," whined a very terrified Dany.
Her and her friends were driving up the long hill that held Dracula's castle, hoping to find proof that he actually walked on this planet. Dany knew that everything was a hoax, but what she did not understand was why her friends had to bring her with them. They seemed almost forceful about it. Now they were in a van going up the hill that would never seem to end, according to Dany. It was in the middle of the day and even thought the sun was out, tall trees on the side of the road have blocked the brightness, making look like it was dusk.
"Oh my god, we're going to die," Panicked and afraid, Dany clung to the person next to her, which was Michael, one of her closest friends.
Everyone else in the van rolled their eyes while Michael was trying to console his terrified friend.
"Dany, everything is going to be fine. They have a historian up there, he's gonna tell everything we need," Explained Cassy, Dany's other friend.
Leif, the driver, who was also Michael's older brother, scoffed. "Yeah, hopefully he'll tell us lies and sacrifice us to the Prince of Darkness himself."
Dany squealed and burrowed deeper into Michael's jacket. Jack, who was sitting in the passenger seat, sighed and rested his head against the window. "Stop scaring her man, she can't take it."
"Yes. Let's stop scaring me," Dany agreed.
"I don't see what you're so afraid of. He's just a blood sucking vampire that's bent on destruction and impaling people on sharp pointed poles." Cassy said absently, while reading a pamphlet of Transylvania.
Michael decided it was enough when Dany started hyperventilating.
"My liege, they are arriving as we speak," said a young looking man of twenty two.
Up in the tower of castle Dracula, the Dark Prince himself was looking out at the road that held his bride. He was ecstatic that his love was finally coming for him, after centuries of searching for her. He had spent all his life after the transition f trying to find the one who was to stay by his side for eternity. It was frustrating after the times he'd thought he had finally found her, but it only led him further to his prize.
"Good, make sure that she comes up this castle alone, and make sure that there aren't anything in the way."
"Yes sire."
"Here we are," Announced Leif, pulling in front of the castle. Everyone in the car leaned forward and looked up, gazing in awe.
And it was a magnificent sight to behold. Tall towers surrounded the castle, crosses on the very top. Since it was on top of the hill, it looked like a nightmare.
"That is so cool, I cannot wait to go in," squealed and excited Cassy.
Dany gasped. "What? I thought we weren't going in."
Jack turned around from his seat, "Don't worry D, you can wait outside with all the other creatures lurking around. And maybe they'll be nice, they'll give you a quick death."
Dany screamed and ducked under Michael.
Michael groaned while Jack laughed his ass off. "Dude, shut up."
Cassy laughed, while getting out of the car and meeting up with Leif, who, apparently, already got out and met with the historian.
Michael stumbled out of the car with Dany clinging onto his arm.
"Oh yeah, this is Michael and Dany," Cassy introduced the remaining two to the historian/guide.
Dany saw that he was rather an attractive man, about in his early twenties. His blond hair darkened by the sky and gray eyes shadowed by his bangs. He walked towards Dany, rather in respectful manner, then bowed his head low. Dany scooted closer to Michael and he held her closer.
"Welcome to castle Dracula, milady," the man had a very smooth voice, and his Transylvanian accent fit him very well.
"Uh, th-thank you?" It seemed like a question coming out of her mouth.
