Chapter One: Henry the Genius

Vlad shot up straight in his bed. Sweat forced his dark bangs to stick like glue to his forehead. "It was that dream again." He muttered quietly to himself as if his nighttime terrors were a huge secret. Then again, maybe it is to him. Teenage boys pride themselves in what they would like to call their 'manliness.' Even though it was just a foolish game, in which all males took part. To Vlad's credit, it was a very disturbing dream. (On the other hand, maybe it would be classified better as a nightmare) There was a girl with pink hair that reminded him of the Sakura trees he had seen in his history books. Her slim, muscular body was chained to a long wall made of uneven stone. The surroundings were plunged into complete darkness. The stonewall and the girl was the only thing he could see clearly at the beginning of the dream.

Then a man would appear. He had long dark hair and skin paler than Vlad's own. He couldn't see the man's face but something told Vlad he wouldn't want to even if he could. The girl with pink hair would always react negatively to the pale man's presence. Hatred would fill her eyes as she shouted words Vlad had not doubt would make a sailor blush. The man would stay for a while, taking part in the on-sided argument before disappearing into the darkness. Once he's gone the girl lifts her head up. She stares straight forward almost like she could see him.

She parts her chapped lips but instead of speaking, she screams.

Vlad was not entirely sure what these nightmares meant if they even did mean anything at all. Was he supposed to find this girl? Was he supposed to save her from the pale man who held her captive? "Maybe Henry will know." He said aloud even though there was no one else around to hear. In one swift movement, he swung his legs over the edge of his bed and was on his feat. He slunk sluggishly over to his closet. He was not in much of a hurry to get anywhere near school. What with the Tom and his flunky on his back 24/7 and trying not to faint every time Meredith passed him in the hall, school was beginning to become a real hassle.

The confusing nightmare he has been having lately did nothing to ease the burden. Hopefully the long talk he was planning to have with Henry later would help. Henry, who is absolutely perfect at every single thing he did also gave great advice…most of the time. Vlad pulled on a plan black t-shirt and a pair of baggy, slightly faded jeans. He threw on his dark hoodie then ran nearby brush through his hair once. Vlad jogged down the stairs and into the kitchen where a sweet aroma greeted him. "Good morning Aunt Nelly." Said woman turned to look at him with a smile.

"Good morning Vlad. How did you sleep?"

"Fine," he lied, "are those eggs?" Aunt Nelly laughed. "Why yes they are. You wouldn't happen to want any would you?" Before Vlad could even nod, she was already filling a plate of them. She walked over to the deep freezer while at the same digging a pair of keys out of the pocket on her apron. Mist flooded out as she opened the heavy lid. An even more delightful smell reached his nose, and he could feel his mouth beginning to water. Aunt Nelly placed the eggs in front of him drowned in a crimson red liquid that soaked into the fluffy eggs, turning them light pink.

'Pink.'

Suddenly he wasn't so hungry anymore.

"I'm not so hungry anymore." He announced while Aunt Nelly threw the empty blood bags in the small plastic trashcan. "Are you sure?" She questioned worriedly. Vlad nodded, grabbing his lunch off the counter. "I'll see you after school?" Aunt Nelly's schedule was never certain. That's what comes with working at a hospital---hardly any time to yourself. She smiled sadly at Vlad who immediately understood what she meant. She was working late…again.

"I guess I'll see you later." Then he was gone.

Vlad arrived at school to find Henry already at the front gates waiting on him. He looked up from the math sheet he had forgotten to complete to wave. "Mornin' Vlad, what's up?" He greeted as they walked up the steps of their school. "You look tired." It's nothing," Vlad answered while stifling a yawn, "I just had a nightmare..." Henry frowned deeply. "Again? That's the third time this week!" "Yeah I know." He answered with another yawn. "What do you think it means?"

Henry shrugged. "Beats me." 'So much for the enlightening talk.' Vlad thought dryly with a shake of his head. "I didn't think it was possible for a vampire to be tired." Henry stated with a faraway look on his face. It was Vlad's turn to shrug. "Maybe it's because I'm half human, or maybe it's just those night terrors wearing me down." They said their good-byes and parted.

After an hour and a half of listening to his teacher drone on about 'the wonders of math' lunch seemed like an undeserved heaven. The only good thing about his math class is that his teacher never calls on him. Maybe it was because he was sick of hearing wrong answers so just called on people who knew (Which certainly wasn't him) but whatever it was, he blessed it a hundred times over. Vlad stopped by his locker to get his lunch then scurried off to the cafeteria.

As soon as he entered the double doors, Henry called him over to what had been unofficially their table since the fifth grade. "So I was thinking," Henry started while taking a swing of his chocolate milk, "for Halloween you could be the vampire and I'll be the victim. You know, like our own little inside joke, it would be hilarious!" "Yeah." Vlad answered distractedly. Henry stared at him for a minute before leaning in with a sigh.

"Alright, I'll bite. What's the matter?"

Vlad stayed silent for a minute. "What if my dream isn't just a nightmare?" After seeing the confused look in Henry's eyes, he elaborated. "I mean, what if that girl is really in trouble? What if I'm supposed to save her?" Henry didn't say anything but his brow was furrowed in thought. "If it is true, if it is really a vision then why is it your only one? Why can you only see her?"

"Maybe it's because she wants me to," Vlad exclaimed, "what if she's a vampire too and she's trying to talk to me!" He bit into his Twinkie and chewed quickly. The thought he may be able to figure out his confusing dream was almost too much for him to bear. "I could be possible." Henry answered thoughtfully. "If it is, how do you expect to find her?" Vlad deflated. "I have no idea." He groaned, letting his head bang to the table.

"Well she can send images to you, what can't you to her?"

Vlad looked up with a wide grin. "Henry you're a genius!"
