Just so not to get any bad reviews on the way that Willie talks, it's because he's from Brooklyn, N.Y., and he talks with a lot of broken words. And if you do a wiki on John Karlen, he is from Brooklyn, and that's why his character talks the way he does. Hope everyone will enjoy this story now, for it is AU as well as the other stories that I have done on here. Have a great day now!

July 17th, 1969

Dear Diary,

I learned a week ago from both the Vampire High Council and the Vatican that another vampire arose some time ago, and now decided to send both me and Maverick to investigate. They feel since that I have the same abilities as a vampire, but none of their weakness's, that it would be best to send us there.

They had also informed me that this is where my mother, who died while giving birth to me, is from. It's going to be strange to come to Collinsport, Me. for the first time in nearly a century! Hopefully, if this is the same vampire that attacked my mother, I would finally find out why, and decide to whether or not to end his life!

Brian Collins

Brian closed his diary that he kept, and left the room that he was using in the Collinsport Inn. He saw that it was nearly dusk and headed towards the Blue Whale to see if anything was going to happen there. He entered the smoking bar, and wondered why people smoked like they did. He went over to the bar and ordered a rum and coke and grabbed a table and waited.

He saw several people coming in and either grabbed tables to order drinks, or went to the bar to do that. He noticed a few young ladies coming in, and sighed. He still thought of Jill every so often, and wondered what would have happened if she wasn't killed like she was. He vowed that if he ever came across his onetime 'friend', he would make him pay for what he had done!

He then spotted a man with blond hair coming in and he was talking to a woman with red hair about someone, or somethings. He tried to make out what they were saying to each other.

"Julia, he's outta his mind again if he thinks he can become wha' he was before."

"Willie, try to understand what Barnabas is trying to do. He wants to become human again after being what he is now for so long. Give him time to get use to the serum that I've come up with and hopefully it will work this time."

Brian decided to get up and head over to the table and see what else he could find out. He 'accidentally' spilled his drink on the man.

"I'm so sorry for this mess. Let me clean it up and buy you both drinks on me." Brian said with a smile on his face.

"It's alright. Willie and I were just leaving." The woman said before getting up.

"Tha's right. So youse have better go and leave us along." The man said while getting up to leave as well.

"I'll walk you to your car then 'Brooklyn'." Brian said with a bigger smile on his face.

"Hows you know dat I'm from Brooklyn?" Willie asked.

"I can tell from the accent because I'm from Queens myself." Brian said while looking at the two of them.

"So you're from N.Y. as well then?" Julia wondered.

"Raised there after I was born. Come on, I'll follow you to make sure you both get home safe."

"Dat won't be necessary mista'. We can get home witout any help from you!" Willie said while raising his voice.

"Willie, calm down. He didn't mean any harm now did you." Julia said to the stranger.

"Not at all. I just wanted to make sure that after what happened in there, that the two of you made it back alright."

"You see Willie, no harm at all." Julia said to Willie.

"I hopes you're right about this Julia. Afta' all wit wha' happened with…OUCH! Watch it Julia!" Willie started to say, but Julia 'accidently' stepped on his foot.

Brian started to laugh at what happened at how Julia kept Willie from saying more than what he was supposed to. Willie saw that he was being laughed at, and decided to try to hit the stranger! Brian saw the fist coming towards him, and grabbed it with his left hand and then grabbed Willie by the throat, and lifted him off the ground!

Julia knew of one other person that could do this, and why! Barnabas! She reached into her purse and pulled out her cross and placed over the strangers face! Brian looked at the cross and frowned for it had no effect on him! He then let go of Willie, which of course fell to the ground and grabbed the cross out of Julia's hand!

"This has no effect on me! You can try your toys on vampires, but not on me! Now we will go to where this Barnabas is and see if he will see me now!" Brian commanded the two of them!

Brian ordered them into his car, a Black 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible with enough to seat more in the back, and a big trunk in case he had to hide himself or someone that was 'missing'. Julia gave the stranger directions to the Old House, and hopefully Barnabas can stop this person before anything else happens!

Brian had both Julia and Willie walk in front of him to make sure they didn't try anything. They reached the front door, and Julia opened it and went inside. Willie and Brian followed suit and followed her into the main room where Barnabas was. Brian saw Barnabas getting up, and spoke to him.

"YOU?! I SAW YOUR BODY UNDER THE CLIFFS ALONG THE BEACH IN 1897! HOW IS IT YOU'RE STILL ALIVE NOW?!" Brian said in a loud voice.

Barnabas, Julia, and Willie didn't know what to make of this since Barnabas had only woken up just a couple of years ago! Hopefully this person can answer this question for them!
