I would first like to start off by saying that this is a rather old story of mine. And like 'silent beauty' and 'welcome to spira' i do not know if i will continue it past the chapters i have already written out. This story unlike the previous two has many chapters already written out so i guess i will have plenty of time to decide wether or not i will continue to work on it. The decsion also lays with the readers. if i get enough reviews asking me to continue the story i will work on. If not then at the end of the last chapter written out i will not continue with the story anymore. so if you do enjoy reading please remember to review and let me know.
-Chapter 1-
"You know selena I really don't think you should be doing that," said a person with shoulder length silver hair. "Oh, poppycock, what's the worse that can happen? And besides no pain, no gain." a girl with waist length black wavy hair replied. "Oh I could think of a few things that can go wrong. Namely the cauldron blowing us all sky high;" Selena snorted and rolled her sapphire blue eyes. "Oh please Rei. You would heal. A little fire is not going to hurt you. If you're not going to help, why did you even bother coming over?"
Selena looked back down at the boiling contents of her cauldron. She had been working on this experiment for nearly three years and finally felt she was close to completing it. Her eyes lit up at the thought of her experiment successfully completed. She stirred the contents of the cauldron. "Rei hand me the bottle of vampires' blood." Rei picked up the bottle with a suspicious look in his green eyes. "You sure this is a good idea?" he asked for what must have been the hundredth time. "Of course it is! Now for the hundredth time quit worrying!" She picked up a knife and started cutting up some roots when she accidentally cut her finger. "Ouch!" she said putting the wound to her lips and gently sucking on it to sooth the pain.
She grabbed the roots and angrily tossed them into the pot, not even thinking twice about the fact that her blood had been on some of the plants she threw into the pot. She grabbed the vial of blood from Rei and uncorked it. A few drops of blood spilled down the side of the vile and mixed with the cut on her finger. Again, she paid not mind and spared it not a second thought. She was just about to pour the vile into the mixture when Rei's voice stopped her. "So whose blood is this anyhow?" "I don't know" she replied with a shrug. Rei looked at her incredulously "you mean you bought the vampire blood off that freaking gypsy and you don't even know whose it is?" "It doesn't matter so long as it came from a powerful vampire." "Hey! What if it's Dracula's blood?" Rei asked laughingly. Selena rolled her eyes. "Oh please, Dracula doesn't really exist. As a vampire I think you'd know that." Rei pouted, "of course I do! I was only joking!"
Shaking her head, she poured the blood into the pot and began to stir the contents once more. The liquid began to boil violently and spill over. A look of shock and fear shown on her face as she backed away from the pot, "oh no" they both yelled. Selena brought her arms up to shield her face as the cauldron exploded the scalding hot liquid landing all over her. She cried out in pain as the liquid began to burn her. "Son of a fucking bitch!"
*~*Dracula's castle at the same time*~*
Dracula was sitting in his castle writing in his journal. He shut it then locked it to make sure no one would be able to read it. He sighed in a depressed manner. Many people believed that Dracula was incapable of feeling emotion. According to the legend concerning him about his becoming a vampire, it was said that he made a deal with the devil and when he took his soul he could no longer feel emotion, or hear music, or anything of the like. However, the legend was wrong. For starters, he made a deal with death, not the devil. He still had his soul and he could still feel emotion.
The problem was that in the four hundred years or so that he would be 'alive' he grew tired and weary of the same old thing. He held no real love or attachment for his brides. He is not sure he ever did. He just created them to fill the void of emptiness that came from living for several centuries alone. However, he was tired and weary of them now as well. They were nothing but puppets that followed his every whim because he created him. They never fought with him, never disagreed with him, or anything and he grew bored of it. He had been around for hundreds of years and nothing held his interest any longer. Not even the thought of hunting for his next meal held any appeal to him.
One could only live for so many years before life looses all meaning and interest. A servant walked in nervously. "Master?" "Yes?" "Master Are you alright?" He glared at the frightened girl. "It's none of your concern," he growled. The servant bowed "forgive me master. Its just were all concerned about you. We have all seen how depressed you been the past few decades. Longer even." He slammed his hand on the table causing the servant to flinch. He stood up and the servant backed away fearfully. "You'll mind your own business and not concern yourself with mine." She bowed low "yes master."
"Im going out to hunt" he growled and then transformed and flew off. He reached the village below Frankenstein's castle to look for any stray villagers out after dark. He noticed a lone traveler and snuck up behind him. He then grabbed him and drained him within seconds. The blood seemed tasteless and he tossed the corpse aside in anger. "Not even feeding satisfies me any longer. Rather than go back to the castle he decided to take a walk in the woods and maybe take his frustrations out on some innocent creatures.
On his way to the woods he passed by many of the village houses with contempt and envy at what he could not have. Love and companionship. He had fallen in love once a very long time ago when he was still human but mankind's treachery had taken his love away. Causing her to leap from the window of her bedroom and fall to her death in the river below. He inwardly winced at the memory but his face showed no emotion. His icy blue eyes however became cold and hard with anger and hatred. He wandered into the forest and came upon a clearing when a male voice broke through his musings.
"So whose blood is this?"
He snapped his head in the direction of the voice. He saw what looked like a floating window type of opening hanging in midair. He saw a man and woman in what appeared to be a kitchen but he seemed different from what he was use to. More advanced maybe. The man was on one side of the counter and the woman on the other and she appeared to be cooking something and holding a painfully familiar vile in her hands. The vile he knew contained the blood taken from him a mere fifty years ago.
"I don't know" she replied with a shrug. Rei looked at her incredulously "you mean you bought the vampire blood off that freaking gypsy and you don't even know whose it is?"
Dracula 'hmphed' silently agreeing with the man.
"It doesn't matter so long as it came from a powerful vampire." "Hey! What if it's Dracula's blood?" Rei asked laughingly.
Dracula barely resisted rolling his eyes and then decided to pay more attention to the girl. She was beautiful and seemed to be smart as well if not somewhat careless. He then noticed when she opened the bottle that their blood mixed even though she seemed to pay it no mind. He knew the significance of what could happen if their blood mixed. "This will not end well," he whispered.
Selena rolled her eyes. "Oh please, Dracula doesn't really exist. As a vampire I think you'd know that." Rei pouted, "of course I do! I was only joking!"
Shaking her head, she poured the blood into the pot and began to stir the contents once more. The liquid began to boil violently and spill over. A look of shock and fear shown on her face as she backed away from the pot.
He noticed the horrified expression on her face and then the explosion.
Selena brought her arms up to shield her face as the cauldron exploded the scalding hot liquid landing all over her. She cried out in pain as the liquid began to burn her. "Son of a fucking bitch!"
The girl brought her arms down from her face clearly in pain and looked in his direction. She looked shocked when she saw him. "I don't believe it," she whispered then the window snapped shut. Dracula took a few moments to think about the things he saw and what had happened. Sensing that the sun was about to rise he transformed and flew back to his castle. The last thought he had before falling asleep was that things were going to change and get interesting at last. However, weather or not that was a bad thing remained to be seen.
please remember to review!
