Part 1 of Dracula's Return - Mysteries

Chapter 1

The New Age

Years had passed since Dracula's attempts at ruling the world in addition to his destruction. Much had happened since then, monsters, demons and Angels had entered the world, but most had been destroyed, although there were still some of these creatures left on earth, they were scattered across the globe. It was now the year 2094.

Late one night in mid June...

'How dare you come in here!' shouted a man wearing a business suit, he looked like a politician. He was shouting to a man, who was wearing dark clothes and a brimmed-sort of hat.

'I'm a "human being", I can go where I want senator,' said the man with the hat. The Senator looked angry, 'No you can't,' he smiled, 'your the "World's Most Wanted," Mr Van Helsing.'

'What!'

'You heard me, Mr. Van Helsing,' he was still smiling.

'How can I be, I'm a "Holy Man", he replied confused.

'Not to the government of the world, your not!'

Van Helsing stared at the senator, "That's because all the governments of the world are corrupt!'

Not long after world war 3, where "many parts" of countries were destroyed. Countries like: The United States of America, China, Japan, and even Australia. Nothing could grow, nor live in the places that were desiccated by the war. Every government of the world, after the war, had become one government, and it was now more fraudulent and dishonest then ever before. There were no more prime ministers, they had become presidents, and then about 2056 they all became young and immortal by making a pact with the devil. After the pact the governments became one senate. They all became senators, with the president of the USA as the chancellor of the world. They only cared about "their needs", no one else's. There was no more voting, the senate was now "like royalty", very ruthless and menacing world leaders. Earth's humanity had rebelled many times, but to no avail.

The man didn't seem angry at this statement, in fact he ignored it completely.

'How could you be a holy man? You killed the last mortal President of the United States of America.'

Van Helsing stared at the senator, and replied bluntly, 'he wasn't human; he was a werewolf.'

'Last I checked, Mr Van Helsing,' he said smugly, 'you weren't so human yourself. In fact, rumour has it, you haven't been human for one hundred years.'

'I don't know what you're talking about,'

The senator smiled, 'yes you do, Mr Van Helsing,' he paused, staring at him for a few moments before finishing, 'so, how'd it happen?'

Van Helsing stared back at the senator, 'how'd what happen?'

He smirked at Van Helsing, 'your non-humanity.'

He'd had enough; 'good-bye senator,' Van Helsing turned and left the room in long easy, but troubled strides.

Van Helsing had remembered a great deal of his past and much to his chagrin, he discovered that Dracula had been right. It was as Dracula had put it, a "sordid past". Thinking of Dracula had raised a question to his mind. How could his kind exist without him?

Waking up, Dracula had no idea that time had passed. He didn't even know how he was still alive. Looking around, he discovered that he was where he had died – Dr Frankenstein's Laboratory, which had been moved to his castle – lying in the same place. Wandering around, he soon realised that he was alone. There were no Dwergi, no Igor, and no brides. He also discovered a skeleton lying on his red couch.

Frowning in thought, he left his castle and headed for Transylvania.

Meanwhile...

A woman was standing on a roof, pondering her past. Remembering all the things that had happened in her life.

'Thinking about the past again?' came a voice from behind her.

'Of course, since I have nothing else to live for.' She didn't turn; she knew who it was.

'You'd think you had something to live for, after all you've been through?' Was she smiling at such a remark?

The woman turned; there was no one there...
