This fiction takes place in an AU like some of the original show's episodes. In this universe, the characters have the same names, but you'll notice that Pucca is not originally among them. You should picture this taking place in an older time period, with clothes resembling that of the traditional Slavic culture (feel free to google it). This is my first fanfic, and it is meant to resemblethe actual show. Note that I said resemble; not want. Enjoy! And feel free to leave comments, questions, suggestions, or constructive criticism :) Disclaimer: I do not own Pucca or any of its rights.
It was a very dark and stormy evening. Howling could clearly be heard under the shining light of the full moon, and the bamboo plants of the forest seemed to be whispering to each other about the presence of humans. And very deep into that forest loomed the old, creaky manor that was the curse of Sooga Village. Every mortal knew that that manor harbored a coven of vampires.
And so it was, that on every Friday the 13th, the vampires flooded into the village in search of easy prey. On these nights, all of the Sooga Villagers receded into their warm, safe homes with locked doors for the evening, praying that the vampires would overlook them.
But on this night, several unfortunate souls were not tucked away in their beds…
. . .
Earlier that day…
Master Soo floated before the gathered town with two of his handmaidens at his side. Both were very frightened, fidgeting nervously against him. Everyone was anxious to get home before nightfall. The crowd as a whole was quietly muttering, everyone discussing what would become of this ancient town.
"Silence!" Master Soo cried. When the town fell silent, he continued. "Very good. As you all know, it's Friday the 13th. We have not dealt with the vampires for several months now, but tonight they return."
The muttering started up again, before he continued. "I said quiet!" He boomed. "Yeesh, maybe you people are the vampire problem. Such a pain in my neck."
There was an audible cough in the crowd. The handmaidens might have laughed, had they not been so terrified.
"Wow, tough audience," he muttered to his girls. "Anyhoo, I called you all here to remind you of this night, and to warn you to stay in your homes. If anyone were to step foot outside, there would be no way to save them. Are we clear?"
"But what about Yumi?" A petulant voice trilled. "She needs to be walked every night or she'll gain weight." Ring Ring stepped forward, as much a diva as ever.
Master Soo stared her down. "Is it worth your life?"
She huffed and crossed her arms.
"Well then, if that's all." Master Soo finished, "I'm not going to stick around. I wouldn't want to get bit. I hear being a vampire really sucks." Another cough. "Oy! No one appreciates comedy! Let's go ladies."
After the three floated off, Garu, Abyo, and Ching gathered to talk.
"I don't understand why we keep hiding away indoors every few months." Abyo said to the others. "Garu and I could easily take the coven with our combined super-ninja skills! Hiii-yaa!" He kicked and punched at the open air as he ripped off his shirt.
Ching giggled, leaning down to collect the split pieces of Abyo's shirt. "That may be true, but no one's ever done it before. I think we should listen to what Master Soo said and just stay inside."
Garu nodded with a grunt of agreement.
"Fine," Abyo huffed. "But I'm telling you. If I had it my way, no vampires would ruin a Friday the 13th ever again."
