Nothing like watching an old Dracula movie (Horror of Dracula to be exact) to give me some good old fashioned inspiration! It was mainly the first part of the movie but still as soon as the idea got into my head I had to write everything that was flooding in down in my idea book, and after nine pages (no idea why it took that many to get it on paper) I'm ready to share this wonderful tale with you. So here we go!
DISCLAIMER: Do not own Danny Phantom, like everyone else on here. And we are all sadden that we don't.

Ch. 1-At the Beginning of A Tragedy
A long time ago, there was a small kingdom that was nestled in a vast sea of mountains that consisted of a large town that was built in a giant valley that was set deep into the elevation. It was a peaceful realm until about twenty years ago that a mystery began to unfold as the king, queen, and two princes suddenly disappeared without a trace. Rumors started to quickly spread of foul play or simple desertion but no one could figure out exactly what happened to the monarchs and soon the whispers died away and nothing else was done to find the missing family.
Seeing that there was no king the nobles in the village banded together to decide who would be the one to rule their tiny domain but all that came out of it was heated arguments and no decision. Three years went by without a conclusion but finally one had too much of the fighting. At another meeting he stood in front of them all and said that enough was enough. Taking a stand he said that is family would govern the area until such time the rightful ruler would return or fate would decide on who be the new king. Seeing that he would take no for an answer the other nobles agreed with this plan and placed the Dark family as the temporary monarchs of the land.
But surprisingly enough no one had the courage to go up to the castle that sat atop a mountain pass and see what had happened inside. The halls were trashed, the beautiful decorations destroyed and now instead of bright happiness and peace a dark sadness and evil crawls throught the walls of the stone fortress. Nobody had a reasonable clue as to what kind of creature had infiltrated and destroyed the royal family. The monster was a demon, a vampire to be exact, who had been eying the small city for quite a number of years but was planning the perfect takeover for even longer. That was until he had a stroke of genius and came up with a plan to get rid of the royals but since the entire family were ghosts it would be hard to kill someone who is already dead. That was before he found out one of their weaknesses: a strange flower known as blood blossoms and their extract could use as a poison to end their afterlives permanently. After making enough of the juice he used it on his blade to stab the king and queen after he made his move on the palace. The youngest runt had managed to disappear somehow but he wasn't paying attention while on his rampage. The eldest son, on the other hand, wasn't going to go down without a fight. The two duked it out but the beast managed to get the upper hand and win the fight.
Figuring that he might need someone to guard him while he slept during the day the nosferatu blocked the young prince's memories, every single one of them, with a powerful spell and made him his servant ordering him never to go out, never to leave the castle, and to always obey his every command or else he would be killed on the spot. But what the villain never figured was that the man's curiosity was going to get the better of him one day and soon unravel everything the monster was working so hard for so long and be his undoing.
Alright, so this chapter is only the introduction to the rest of the story and it's short, but this is what I've got planned for this so zip it if you're thinking of flaming me. Next chapter will start the story and it will be nice and long for you all. See you then!
