Okay so this is my first attempt at twilight. I read all the books so I think I got it down right. Just so you know I don't enjoy twilight since it does ruin a vampire's image but it is a good story to read when you're bored. I'll admit I have laughed a few times with it, and I did at one point had a crazy fan girl crush on Edward but that doesn't mean I like it. So those of you girls out there who feel I ruined your sparkle vampires this tory, suck it up. I'm trying hard to make this a good story and keep the characters in character. This story does not follow the time line of my previous stories with Dracula and his family.
So what if I have a thing for vampires? I always tell someone who doesn't like what they're reading this, "if you don't like don't read. Now go away because there are people who actually enjoy this!"
Now that I stopped with my rant, here's the disclaimer!
Disclaimer: I don't own Dracula or twilight, if I did then Dracula would've appeared in twilight. The name of Ma Costa I just borrowed from the golden compass, but I own her personality and stuff, not the name.
If dislike is the opposite of like, then shouldn't disclaimer be the opposite of claimer, which means that you say you own something?
So my claimer is I just own Aishe and ma costa's personality and stuff…and Dracula's father instincts.
Prologue…
Transylvania, Romania
May 25, 1892
A large bat flew over the village of Transylvania at night. Those Transylvanians out started to cower in fear but the bat didn't even look at them as it flew towards the castle in the mountain top. The villagers were confused at this. Never has it ever ignored them as it passed over their village. Never. They knew something was going on and if it was dangerous for even count Dracula to run straight to his family then, as far as they were concerned it was dangerous for them. They started to have a town meeting and assigned one man to go to the Dracula and find out what's going on. They gave him one of the fastest horses in the village and sent him galloping towards the castle.
While our brave anonymous friend gallops to the castle let's backtrack a couple of years, shall we? Dracula had made a pact with the Transylvanians. If he promised not to kill them, they will provide him with some amount of their blood to keep him satisfied. Also Dracula had to protect the town and tell them of any dangers. In return they would ward off any slayers that might come looking for him. Although some people still were afraid of him. Now enough chit chat, let's get on with our story…
Dracula was pacing the room as his wife carried their young daughter Aishe.
"What is wrong?" she asked as her husband.
"They are coming. They will kill us" he answered.
"Who? The villagers? They have not troubled us for many years."
"Not the villagers. Though I doubt they had will ignore the fact that I passed over them quickly without any stops. Some else is coming worse than the slayers or anything we have faced before. They are vampires but different than us. They'll kill us. According to them, they are the rulers of the vampire community." He scoffed at that. "They believe we have broken one of their rules of secrecy."
"When are they coming?" a voice asked behind them. It was one of the villagers.
"Two days." Dracula said.
"We have to warn the village then. We shall arm ourselves." He replied.
"No. they will not be held back by mere crosses and holy water. This is a new breed. Take the horses I have in the stables. They should be enough for your village. Tell them to pack the necessities only if they wish to escape in time. Do not come back for years. Flee to other or cities. Any were away from Transylvania will be best." He said.
The villager nodded. Moments later the sounds of galloping horses could be heard.
"What shall we do?" his wife asked.
"We have to direct them away from the village. As much trouble they have caused me over the centuries they are my family and I will not lose them." He said.
"What about Aishe?" she asked.
"Give her to one of the villagers. If everything goes well we will return to fetch her. If not, then let's hope she will be safe" he said placing a hand on her shoulder and the other on the baby.
They left leaving Aishe with a family who had some children of their own and sometimes baby sat Aishe when her parents had to go away.
"Protect her" they said before leaving.
"With our life," they promised before galloping off.
"Let's go" Dracula said going in the opposite direction. They ran all night. They passed villages and finally their enemies. They were all dressed in robes and had angelic features. Their pale skin and ruby lips made them seem almost beautiful if it weren't for those red eyes. They stopped a few yards in front of them before running again away from the town. As they expected, they followed.
"Get them!" a voice cried out.
"I'll hold them off" Esmeralda said to Dracula.
"What? No!" he said angrily but Esmeralda turned and ran towards them.
"Go!" she said before fighting them.
"Esmeralda!" he cried before rushing towards them.
His teeth bit their marble cold skin ripping it apart. He forced his way to Esmeralda. The vulture lay ripped in the ground slowly getting back together but Dracula ignored them. Esmeralda was dead. Her mangled body lay there with multiple bites and some still leaking blood.
"I will get my revenge." He said as tears streamed down his cheeks. "I will avenge you. They will regret ever hearing about us."
Dracula took out a match and lighted it before letting it drop. He was gone before the match dropped. The fire started burning the vampires leaving nothing but ashes. Dracula managed to track down the family that was taking care of Aishe. They had joined a gypsy band and were currently awake waiting for him in their tent. They noticed his wounds and the absence of Esmeralda.
"She's sleeping now. Sit I have to fix you up before going out like that." Ma Costa said.
"I have to go, and I'm taking her with me" he said.
"You will do no such thing until I do something about those bites. Now sit!" she said sternly pointing to the chair by the table.
The lord of the vampires sighed. Ma Costa took some cloth and water and started dabbing at the wounds. As she worked on him, a little girl walked in holding a doll.
"Mama, I had a nightmare" she sobbed.
Ma costa put down the cloth and picked up her daughter. "Do you want to help me patch up mister Dracula?" she asked sweetly.
She looked at the vampire and nodded to her mother.
"Okay, sweetheart, you can start by bringing me another bowl with water and throwing this one away." She said pointing to the already red water in the bowl.
The opening where already starting to close in his skin, but he still bled from the deeper ones. The gypsy took out a needle and string and started sewing the wounds closed. The little girl brought back the bowl of water. Ma Costa wet the clean cloth and cleaned the wounds. Dracula just stood there thinking over the recent events. Tears streamed down his cheeks.
"She's gone. She's gone." He muttered as he placed his head in his hands.
"There now. You have to be strong. Not just for Esmeralda but for Aishe. It will do her no good if you are depressed." Ma costa said hugging him as if he were her son. Sure he used to be an evil man, but he had changed. Now days he could be seen walking through the streets happily with his family helping some Transylvanians when they needed it.
Dracula stood up as soon as his wounds where cleaned. Ma costa brought him Aishe who was sleeping again. They gave him one of the gypsy's horses.
"Take good care of yourselves" ma costa called as she watched the vampire gallop off.
