Stella rush through the forest, trying to escape from the vampires. As the new leader of the werewolf pack, many types of monsters are willing to go after her life, especially vampires. Over two thousand years ago, her mother and the former Vampire King had disagreements that they swore to become an enemy. She rushes out of the forest, then uses her sharp eyes to find a place to hide. Successfully, she found one, a castle stands alone on top of the hill. She quickly transforms and ran towards it then climbed on the wall to an open window.
The room that she entered belongs to no one else but Vlad, the new Vampire King. Stella was in survival mode that she did not notice his presence. The heat of her body is beginning to fade, so she tore a curtain down and wrap herself. She was feeling cozy as her head began to nod. Then there was a loud noise that had her wide awake. A loud thud came from a coffin, which she now take notice. The coffin opens and came out was Vlad. She sits still as she prepares her claws.
Vlad
[Stretch from side to side] Ah, that felt good. [Pull out a bell and ring it] Igor... Are you up yet? I want to know what's on the schedule today.
Igor
Coming master. [Barge into the room] Today, vampires are roaming around the area. The reason was that the Werewolf Queen is on the loose. I think it's best as the Vampire King, [Stella perk up her ears, hearing the word 'Vampire King'] you should take matters into your hands.
Vlad
You're right.
Igor
[Surprise] I-I am?
Vlad
I should take matters into my hands.
Igor
Master, this...this's the best moment in my life. I never thought you would actually act like a real Vampi—
Vlad
I'll fly down there and lie to them that I captured the Werewolf Queen. They won't be coming here anymore while disturbing my hunt. [Transform into a bat]
Igor
W-wait, master... [Vlad fly out of the window] I thought...he would... [Began to cry] CHANGE! [Run out of the room while cover both his eyes with his hands]
Stella sits in the room in amazement, she never thought the new Vampire King would be so different. Without taking any risk, she was about to leave out of the when Vlad comes flying toward her. They both scream as Vlad was unable to stop. He slams himself on Stella's face as they fell on the floor.
Vlad
[Transform back while holding onto his stomach] I feel sick.
Igor
[Rush into the room] What happened? [Froze when he saw Stella pulling herself up] The Werewolf Queen.
Vlad
You don't have to worry about anything, I get rid most of the vampires. [Look at Igor confusedly] What?
Igor
The Werewolf Queen. [Slowly lift his finger at Stella]
Vlad
I know, I know, she's my guest.
Igor, Stella
What? [Stella cover her mouth and give them a surprise]
Igor
[Stare at Stella then Vlad] Are you telling the truth?
Vlad
Yes, I'm telling the truth. When did I ever lied to you? [Igor lift one eyebrow, not believing him] Now, would you leave you us in peace. I would like to have a little with 'my' guest. [Wave his hand at Igor as he closes the door. He moves his eyes slowly at Stella then fully turn at her] Just you and me, queen and king. What's the reason you're here? I know most werewolf would try to stay away from Pennsylvania, especially where the Vampire King live. However, for a queen, I'm not so sure.
Stella
I-I came here to bring treaty both the vampires and werewolves.
Vlad
[Give a wide smirk while taking a step at her] Oh, really? Are you telling the truth? Because...I'm not like any other vampires. [He lean to her ear and whisper] I can tell when a person lying or not.
Stella
[Scoot back while covering her ears] I-I'm p-pregnant.
Vlad
[Eyes grew wide] That's something new. [Stand up straight, putting his hand on his chin] Hmm... So, who's the father?
Stella
[Look away] I...can't say...
Vlad
No need to say no more. Every monster had a secret relationship with the pair they choose. [Cross his arms] That doesn't answer why you're here.
Stella
I..um... [Sigh] I guess I have no choice. The man I'm in a relationship live here, he's...human. We're married, and I sometimes come visit him once a month. I'm here to stay because I'm pregnant.
Vlad
It's against the rules to have a relationship with a human. [Stella felt scared for her life, knowing she should kill him from the truth] But it isn't my business to stick my nose in. I don't care anything unless it interrupts my hunt. [Hissing for fun]
Stella
Are you not gonna kill me?
Vlad
No.
Stella
I'm the Werewolf Queen, and you're the Vampire King. We're mortal enemy.
Vlad
Not my issue. [Pull out a jar of wine from the cabinet] Wine?
Stella
[Lift her hand while shaking her head] No thank you, I'm fine. [Watch Vlad pour the wine into a glass as he swirls and drinks it] How did you become a leader in your group? You're not like the former Vampire King.
Vlad
Ah, every vampire is different. [Sit on a chair, beside a small table] We're not build to be the same and think the same. Want a chair? [Snap his finger as the chair appears behind her, pulling it toward him] It'll be great if we could talk face to face. Okay, back to your question. The reason I became the Vampire King was because of an accident. [Stella stay in silence, thinking she knows where it was going] I was drunk, and I was young. Party all night and day, flirting with both mortal and immortal. It was the best time of my life until... [Depressively sigh] I walk to a forbidden ritual and was pulled into it. I became the next Vampire King after his death.
Stella
How old are you that time?
Vlad
Four hundred, maybe a bit younger. [Pour the wine into the glass then gulp the whole thing] The freedom it had taken away from me. Damn, make me remember my previous wives. [Look at Stella and smile] You must really that human of yours.
Stella
Yes, I really do.
Vlad
Does he know that you're a werewolf? [Stella went still then look away] He doesn't then. I wonder how would he react to his child, being a monster.
Stella
He won't, the first child was completely human. I think, [Grab her stomach] the second will be the same.
Vlad
Interesting. What if the second child isn't human? The child might take after you, holding more of the werewolf blood in it. Don't you look deeper to your future?
Stella
I do! [Slam her hand on the table, broken it]
Vlad
I usually don't care, but I might help.
Stella
How, and why?!
Vlad
[Lift one finger on his lip then put it back down] It's just the two of us, no one will know your little secret. I know a ritual that'll seal your child ability. She, could be a boy, would be completely human. It won't last long but it'll help for a while. And...the reason why I'm willing to help you was because we're in the same boat.
Stella
What do you mean?
Vlad
I was forced (accidentally) became the Vampire King. As for you, you were born into it.
Stella
[Sadly look down] I agree with you on that. I don't understand my mother, she's kept making everyone her enemy. Half of the monster society hated us. Being the enemy of the vampires don't seem enough.
Vlad
I don't understand the feeling of a child, but our deal will be focusing on your situation. Your child and the human lover of yours.
Stella
Husband.
Vlad
Yes, yes, whatever. Now, [Stand up] as the guest, would you mind joining dinner with me? [Take out his hand in front of her]
Stella
[Take his hand and sigh] I can't say no when I'm hungry.
Vlad
Good, I'll check what Igor is cooking. Hope it's appetizing.
They walk out of the room and to the dining room. Vlad left to the kitchen to check on Igor and his cooking, happened to be his favorite, toadstool soup. Igor sees that he was standing beside the door, so came up to him.
Igor
I know the Werewolf Queen isn't your guest.
Vlad
I know you know.
Igor
Why kick me out? Why the lies too?
Vlad
She seems...devastating. I want to help her...
Igor
She's the Werewolf Queen, your enemy. You're not supposed to save your enemy. Listen, master, you're stepping on something you're not supposed to step. If the vampires knew, they'll hunt you down.
Vlad
[Cross his arms and turn away] They think whatever they want. It was their fault that I became the Vampire King, I didn't want to be one.
Igor
What are you going to do from here and out?
Vlad
Let her be, we won't interfere our life or my hunt. If we ever meet on the street, just smile and wave like we're neighbors.
Igor
[Sigh] I'll be with you this one. But be warned, don't get yourself kill.
Vlad
[Turn at him and smile] Ah, Igor, my good friend. I knew I'll count on you. Don't forget to serve one more plate for my guest.
Igor
[Walk back to the big and continue cooking] I won't forgive you, kicking me out of the room. I don't know what secret you two give.
Vlad chuckle as he leaves back to the dining room. Stella was still in the room without trying to escape, which had him felt a little trust between them. The thought had as a comrade never cross his mind, but he felt interesting on Stella, she was different from others. Also, he wants to know human society too. They sit patiently as they smile across one another when Igor pull a cart from the kitchen.
