On a Friday after-noon, three girls mysteriously vanished out of thin air from a closed off room. The only thing left behind was their personal belongings. Ripped right out of their reality and into a new, bizarre world; the three girls wake to find that not only their lives have completely changed, but everything about them has been rewritten! With new identities Carmen, Bri, and Unique unknowingly meet each-other again in very different roles. Mara Velrose bears the burden of being the Mayoress of Candlebrook; a city in fear of strange recent happenings on three popular streets in its three districts.

Enter the infamous Vampire Hunter D and Cecilia Havelock; both hired to face the unknown for twenty million Dallas. A traveler and a friend of sorts to the Mayoress, Argent Silverstone arrives to lend her aid in her friend's time of need. Now, everything would be alright, right? Nope. As they start to remember each-other a certain someone remembers the most about the world which they awoke to and the character of the stern, mysterious hunter clad in midnight black. (Un)-fortunately for them, D's path had been woven and tangled into theirs and nothing can be done except solving their own mysterious pasts to save their future.

Of course, it's not like D is going to make it any simpler with his habit of relentless questioning, nor the talking parasite adding fuel to the fire.

I suck at summaries, yea!

Yay! It's finally up! This chapter may not seem like much and may even be a little...boring I suppose, but I was inspired to do my own 'VHD Drop' fanfic after re-reading another fanfic that takes a young girl and her friends to the time of the 3rd movie. Anyway, I've already got another chapter finished, but I need to work on two more to get the other upload along side it.

I know it's not really exciting, but I hope some you who read it will look toward to the next chapter!

Please feel free to point out any mistakes or anything that needs to be fixed! Much appreciated!

CHAPTER 01: CONSUMING BLACK

It was a Friday to look forward to; the coming end of classes and to hang out with a friend whose presence had been missed for over a year.

The final bell beeped expectantly as the few students who arrived to their eighth hour had nothing better to do; the class itself was outside of common core. It was a class with no particular agenda other than preparing select students for college. Out of the twelve only two had arrived and they only assumed as it neared their graduation, either those who didn't arrive left on their own accord or were meeting with their Counselors. Even the teacher expected the low attendance with the Seniors coming graduation.

Sounds came in the form of clicks as the teacher proceeded with his routine business on the computer. The classroom was faintly dark as the natural light came through the three large windows; beams squeezing through the built-in blinds. Every room in the science wing, though different seating arrangements, shared the same white walls, floors, ceilings, and brown storage cabinets. Dull, yet calm and quiet; that's how she liked it. Sitting in the back with no one to bother her, she plugged into her iPod5 and pulled out her art supplies; A tin of seventy-two colored pencils, a pencil pouch, and a nine-by-twelve sketch book lied open for use.

She hummed away to the tune 'Moon River (Climax Mix)' as the H3 pencil glided across the surface of the paper. A few simple strokes created the guidelines for the pose she wanted. A ding interrupted her music, the white text box read: "Hey, Carmen! Unique is coming after school. We're going to hang out in the library, you wanna come?," brown eyes scanned the text excitedly. Pushing a lock of her brown hair out of her face she pressed reply.

"Hell yeah, Bri! I want to hang out! We haven't seen her in about a year except texting over messenger. How long are you guys staying?"

"Until 4:00 cause she's waiting on her little brother to get done with club activities"

"Cool. My ride can't pick up me anyway cause of schedule issues, So my mom is going to after she gets off of work"

"Ok, we'll be in the library after the bell rings. See you there."

Grinning happily, she continued to draw away. Minutes fell away one after the other until the electronic beep queued the end of the day. Music blared loudly over the speaker in the ceiling as it cut off; replaced by the principals motivational voice as he read off the announcements for that afternoon. He wished the students a good day and told them to be safe over the weekend. Another beep and through the door the sounds of the hall filled with countless footsteps and chattering voices.

Carmen joined them, knowing that it was a friendly get-together. If they only knew what was coming they would've immediately left without question. A darkness, foul and unrelenting in its immeasurable reach. It squirmed in delight knowing it will take three innocent souls to a world where nightmares are no work of fiction. Today it's tendrils would snuff out the light that they enjoyed; replacing it with a binding, black, cold world.

As always, students flooded the foyer without care of who or what they bump into. Luckily, Bri had no trouble there because her psychology class was right in front of the library on the second floor. Bri opened one of the large double doors and walked up the three steps, greeted by a vast amount of books lining the rectangular room. From the right were tables of varying shapes and to the left sat rows of computers and the Librarian's desk waiting to be of service. In the short distance between her and a currently occupied table was a skinny, olive-skinned girl sporting a pink jacket.

Her prominent onyx eyes fluttered from her phone to Bri. She immediately stood up with her arms raised openly as she shuffled towards Bri; smiling a dumb smile as she said "My Baby!," Bri hugged her long-missed friend, "You dork!", she laughed.

"Hey, guys! What's up?"

"Oh, hey Carmen! Nothing much. You?"

"Nothing really exciting. You know how it is Unique, right? You guys wanna sit or are we going to stand here for the next hour and a half?"

"Jeez, what's gotten into you?"

"What? Oh, no. Sorry Bri, I didn't mean to sound rude, but people just stand in the way like they got no business moving for you!"

It was the same old problem, 'beating a dead horse' as they say. Regardless, they didn't let that topic go any further. The three girls had much better things to talk about; as in 'Graduation Plans'. "So, you two," Unique piped up, "are you excited about Graduating?," Carmen and Bri gave sheepish grins. "Uh, well...'Honors Day' kinda took away the shock, so I'm hoping I don't get too emotional", Carmen said while she pulled her book bag up on the table. "Let's just hope we get in, get the diploma, and get out pronto," Bri added.

"By the way, there's going to be party at my house!," Carmen announced as she pulled a book out, one of the several in the front pouch of her book-bag.

"Really? There's going to be good food right?," Bri asked while digging into her own bag; trying to pull something from it depths as it seemed to have some weight to it.

"What was your address again, Carmen?," Unique inquired.

Carmen set her book-bag down beside her; flipping through the black and white pages of her book unnecessarily as a bookmark already marked her last page. "I'll send it over messenger. Don't worry".

"Here it is!," with triumphant look upon Bri's face she set down on the table what look like a shiny marshmallow with cartoon eyes, hands, and feet; complete with a Fez. "Is that a 'Mr. Stay Puft' clay baby?," Carmen asked as she ran her finger along the rim of its sharp tooth on its right side of its opened mouth. "What? No! It's an Adipose!," Bri corrected her and added "They're from Doctor Who and they're alien jelly-babies".

"Alien jelly-babies?," a look of confusion was apparent on Carmen's face. "They're made from body-fat by a dieting pill that's been distributed by a lady who was their 'Nanny'. They are definition of cuteness and they're practically harmless!", Bri dotted over her shiny baby adipose as Carmen noticed across from her that Unique looked a bit pale with her eyes wide in a state of shock.

"U-unique? What's wrong?"

"Can't you hear them...?

Bri released her Adipose, looking around the room in bewilderment.

Carmen's eyes scanned the room as well, and no one, not even the Librarian was present. "What the hell...?," The curse was whispered aggressively as it passed Bri's lips. The two listened, concentrating to hear the sound that their friend had heard before it reached their ears.

"You. You hear it now too, right?"

"Yes..."

"Yeah"

Whispering voices all hushed so you could barely hear any distinction of where they were coming from, but still able to hear their unintelligible conversations. Then, it turned to laughter, the kind you hear that makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up and goosebumps rise on every inch of your skin. The feeling being watched weighed heavily on their shoulders. The three girls were obviously unnerved by the voices which had no origin. As they silently and unanimously agreed to run for the double doors the lights above went out.

Now it wouldn't of been a problem as the windows above the book-shelves gave ample light, but the warmth of the sun faded as the room turned cold. What beamed through the windows was no longer the brilliant sun that greeted them every afternoon, but scarlet rays that bathed the room in innumerable shades of red.

Neither of the three girls knew who said it first, but the panicked cry kicked their survival instincts into 'flight mode' as a shrill voice cried out "RUN!".

Abandoning their bags and possessions it was Bri who made it to the door first. With all her might she pushed in on doors as the other two did the same along side her. "What the fuck?! It wasn't locked when I got here and the lights weren't out in the hall either!," Carmen exclaimed. "Shit! Get back guys! I'm going to kick this bitch in!," Bri ordered her companions aside as she made to kick in the door. Beyond the long, vertical glass window that let some view the area outside was pitch black darkness.

Something was wrong, horribly wrong with darkness beyond them.

Just as Bri's foot connected with the door it opened abruptly; a vicious growl resounded as they could only describe what had appeared before from the darkness them was a bipedal beast. The beast was much larger than them, as tall as the doorway. Bri's only thought was how familiar it looked as she was soon swept off her feet. A hairy claw grabbed her ankle, the claws dug into her jeans deep into her skin as she was pulled through the door.

"AHH! H-HELP ME! UNIQUE! CARMEN! PLEASE!," She shrieked in terror as Carmen and Unique also let out yells of fright as they held onto her hands; desperately trying to save their friend. "GET OFF! GET OFF! GET OFF!," Bri screamed as she kicked with her other foot freely, that did not last as another hairy limb grabbed her other foot and gave a final tug as the hands of their dear friend slipped from their fingers. The door slammed shut and no mattered how hard they tried it would not budge. Cries of sorrow filled the red room as the two girls pounded furiously at the door.

It was hopeless...she was gone.

"Bri...NOOO!," Unique cried into her hands as the laughing grew louder. "Damnit! Damnit! What the hell is going on!," clutching her head Carmen looked around to see what she could do but there was nothing to be done. It was evident that the laughing that surrounded them was at their pain.

"Shut up! Just shut the hell up!"

The audible sound of wood under immense pressure broke them from their panic and the double-doors were crushed in slithering, dark, tendrils. Unique and Carmen yelped out as they ran up the short stairs and went for the door in the way back of the library. Unfortunately, the darkness was already crawling across the walls from in front and behind. "W-what is this?! What do we do, Unique?!, Carmen sorrowfully asked her dread-filled companion. "I-I don't k-know! I d-don't kno-," one moment Unique was in front of Carmen. The next, head first into the red floor as a weird sigil of some sort glowed a bright white light. Carmen was stunned for a moment as she managed to see Unique's legs flailing about in the blinding light. "NO! NONONO!," Carmen screamed that single word repeatedly as her last friend in that madding room of black and red was also pulled from her grasp as the tips of Unique's shoes sunk into the floor; the sigil shrunk till the white light was no more.

"No...! Why...!," Carmen's voice weakly protested as she scratched the floor hopelessly. No amount of digging could bring Unique back to her, nor any amount of force could bring Bri back either. She crumbled into a sad mess with her hands pulling and hitting the sides of her head. Her heart pounded so loudly in her ears.

Wait. The voices...!

As the room was finally covered in the inky black swarm of darkness the voices that started this whole mess stopped. Alone she was in the pitch blackness; only able to hear and feel her surroundings. Weakly, she stood up and shivered horribly. "Oh...! Unique! Bri!," she sobbed out into the cold darkness.

Her mourning was short lived as she felt a strong grip on her shoulder tug her around.

Carmen tried to scream but nothing came out as a pair of paper-white hands with long, sharp, red nails clamped over her windpipe. Her feet kicked about pitifully as she was lifted off the ground. Her arms hung useless as the darkness quickly consumed her too. The last thing she saw was those ice cold hands around her neck and a pair of fangs jutting out from blood red lips that formed a laughing smile. Her ears heard a velvety, feminine voice, yet it faded out as she lost the bit of life she had left.

"You are my child now..."

Hello, Petals here! The first 3 chapters of this story was originally published on my DeviantArt Account "GamergirlNS", but I thought to post it here since I neglected to even use my fanfic account. There are some changes here, but only a little. I'm still learning how to use this "place", also I'd appreciate any comments concerning this chapter or things I could do to improve! I heard about this community being very helpful and nice, so I'm excited to see what you guys say! This is an original story within the Vampire Hunter D-verse; even though so many based their stories around 'Vampire Hunter D: BloodLust", I wanted to do something different! So, here it is. I hope you guys enjoy it...I hope. :)
