*1866*
Vlad stood on the dock in the port city near Shanghai in mainland china, wearing the robes of a buddhist monk, much to his discomfort. Vlad gripped his staff tightly as they slowly unloaded the ship but the ship was large and his cargo of his and shirayuki's coffins were the first things loaded in Kagoshima. A laborer shuffled towards him with a bow, "honorable monk...your belongings and remains of your fellow monk will not be off loaded till near sunset..please visit our city...I will have your belongings placed on a cart for travel and our best horse" he states. Vlad lifts up his Kasa hat, "thank you..sunset will be fine...may God be with you" he states. The man runs off and vlad nearly gagged, "I guess I'll need to explore...I need to map the best route home" he thought. Vlad walked through town purchasing maps and getting the lay of the city for a place to camp come sunrise tomorrow. Vlad neared the center of the town and saw a sight, a woman bound with her arms apart and a man whipping her but her face was defiant. Vlad sniffed the air and her blood was enticing, she was youthful but vlad could discern weathered scarred lines on her peach skin. The woman's eyes were turquoise and maroon chin-length hair framed her face, her figure was voluptuous and covered with the remains of a pink dress. The people shouted and cursed throwing rotted food and rocks, "This whore has defied my Master Ugaki..she will be executed on the dawn" he shouted. Vlad watched them unshackle her and drag off but he quickly followed to a makeshift prison near the edge of the town. Vlad used his monk attire to gain access, "this way..give her rites..tomorrow she dies" one man sneered. Vlad watched the man leave as he stared at the woman laying on the cold floor, "maybe not" he thought. Vlad knelt to the woman as she opened her eyes and quickly tensed up, "why are you here..monk" she hissed. Vlad removed his Kasa hat and the woman gasped seeing his beauty, "judging by your skin tone..you are not from here" he states. The woman slowly sits up with a grimace, "I am from Eygpt...my parents sold me to a warlord but I refused to worship his deities and this is my result" she explains. Vlad rubs his chin, "do you want vengeance on this warlord" he asked and the woman's eyes narrowed, "I will die here...but in the name of any evil gods...I will curse him from the pits of hell" she stated.
Vlad grinned and stood, "did you mean that..do you seek vengeance on him and his house..that you would forsake your gods..would you become a damned demoness of the night and walk in the dark...if so..Speak now" he stated. The woman looked up at vlad in shock but heavily sighed, "Yes" she stated and vlad knelt again, "Your name" he asked. Vlad took her chin and tilted her head, "Haineko" she stated but gasped as vlad sunk his fangs in her neck. Haineko groaned and slowly felt her life slip away but soon felt something warm on her lips, "Drink" vlad commanded and she did. Vlad placed haineko's lifeless body on the cold floor and banged on the door, "guard..your prisoner has died" he shouted. The guard opened the door to vlad faking a prayer and haineko dead, "what happened" he asked and vlad stood, "not sure...she started to convulse and swallowed her tongue...I said a prayer..you should bury her soon" he states, leaving. Vlad soon returns to the dock not before learning where haineko was buried, "hmm...another bride...I wonder how shirayuki will feel" he mused. The sun soon sank below the skyline as shirayuki found herself in a similar situation, "master" she asked but vlad shushed her. The dirt started to move and shift as vlad watched his newest bride slowly emerge. Haineko hissed and growled as she crawled from the unmarked grave, "Shirayuki..I want you feed her" he states. Shirayuki glares as she folds her arms but gasps wide eyed, seeing the look on vlad's face. Shriayuki approached haineko and knelt next to the girl, after raising her sleeve sliced open her wrist. Haineko's eyes saw the red nectar and slowly drank, elitcing a soft moan from shirayuki as vlad watched, "she is now your sister..daughter and lover" he cooed. Vlad extended his hand as haineko looked up at him, "Master" she moaned, embracing him and vlad purred but shirayuki only glared.
Vlad led his new brides to the compound of haineko's former slaver ugaki. Vlad still wore his monk attire and had dressed them as buddhist nuns. Haineko and Shirayuki muttering prayers, while vlad pretended to chant. Two guards saw them approach but one smirked, "those nuns are beautiful...what do you say we kill the monk and bring the women to master ugaki" one states. The other was about to retort as vlad passed but his head fell to the ground. The other guard gasped in shock but his life was silenced by haineko ripping out his throat. Vlad and his brides made their way inside as their senses picked the sound of merrymaking. Inside a large room the sounds of music echoed as women danced and men drank but sitting at the head was the man in question. Ugaki wore glasses and had his black hair combed to one side, dressed in tradtional orenital attire. The men and women laugh as they drank as the doors suddenly open, allowing vlad and his brides to enter as they chanted.
"What is the Meaning of this?!" ugaki shouting, silencing the room. Haineko and shirayuki continued to chant as vlad pointed his staff, "I bring a dark omen...today I witnessed the death of lost soul and before her life ended proclaimed unholy vengeance on those responsible..." he states and points at ugaki, "You will feel her Wrath" he declared. Ugaki rose from his seat with firm scowl but haineko intercepted him, "do you remember me...how you took me...raped me and casted me aside but no more my new master has given me power and I will use it to Kill you" she howls, ramming her hand in his chest and ripped out his heart. The people screamed as they headed for the door but it wouldnt open, "you will suffer as he did" vlad declared. The screams of the poeple filled the air as three vampires killed everyone inside and burned the home to the ground.
Haineko..what a deliciously evil woman...ripping out his heart...and it didnt stop there...We left China heading through India..across the Arabian sea into the Red sea and into her Birth place of Egypt...I learned her parents were sternritter and It tickled the dark side of me to turn her away from the light into my beautiful dark Faerie...The three of us slaughtered her family and teacher with savage ecstasy...We stayed several years in Cairo but left fairly quickly to return to my home country but not before I added one more thing...
*1873*
Vlad watched the sun slowly set from his temporary home on the shore of the aegean in southern Greece. It had been several months since he and his brides had arrived from Egypt and he had established himself as the eccentric Dr. Dragunetti. Vlad conducted himself as an eccentric physician, who sees patients at night and avid illusionist. Vlad made it his business to stay informed of changes and latest things, being complacent leads to death. Vlad placated to the rich and powerful but none of the people suited his fancy, having already decided to add a third and final bride to his menagerie. Vlad entered the home as his brides emerged from the crypt below, "my dears tonight...I leave you to your own devices...I must attend to some business" he states. Vlad knew haineko would venture into town to entice her new beau but shirayuki would remain inside, luring unsuspecting people with music. Both women curtsie as the sound of a carriage approaches, "yes master" both state and venture off. Vlad exited the home as the driver pulled up, "Dr dragunetti...your presence has been requested by Lord Mikonos to attend his wedding party" the man stated. Vlad slowly nodded and climbed inside, as the carriage took off. Lord Mikonos was the local ruler of the area and vlad heard he married a woman over half his age. Mikonos was a portly man who loved to eat, use people and kill wives. Vlad had personal attended to his last wife, whom he had drowned. Vlad arrived to the Mikonos home and was escorted inside. The party was lively and many of the influential people were in attendance, "the girl is old enough to be granddaughter" one man whispered. Vlad found mikonos stuffing his face and his young wife beside him. The girl barely looked over eighteen, having long brown hair with a cylinder-shaped clip on one individual bang and wears a hairpin.
Vlad continued to observe the girl named tobiume as she ventured into the garden, with her lady in waiting. Tobiume sat down on a bench, with a weary sigh but quickly stood again, "Mahana...I can not conceive myself being with that man" she stated. Mahana stood up next to her, "Milady you can not say that...he is your husband" she stated and tobiume shook her head, "are you naive...I am that man's trophy...his doll...only to be seen..when impressing his friends or court...he does not care for me" she stated. Mahana gasped softly as tobimue sat down, "I can no longer love those...I want to love" she stated. Vlad was impressed by the young girl, "perceptive beyond her years" he thought. Vlad then noticed tobiume caress and leaned in to softly kiss her lady in waiting. Mahana quickly blushed and moved away but pricked her finger, "here let me" tobiume says, sucking the finger and made mahana blush in embarrassment. Vlad found the scene adorable and decided to make his presence known. Vlad appeared on the path as the ladies were returning inside, "good evening..I am Dr Dragunetti...a pleasure to meet you both" he states but his eyes were hypnotizing them. Tobiume invited him to her bedchamber and her fate was sealed, arriving well before mikonos. Vlad entered the room and found tobiume in her nightgown and waiting for him. Vlad gilded to the bed and moved a strand of hair from her neck, before biting down and sampling her lifeblood. Vlad informed his brides that he would remain at the home of mikonos. Dr Dragunetti entertained the children with his feats magic but learned the young bride had taken ill on her wedding night and mikonos asked him to exam her. By day dragunetti was befuddled by her illness and by night vlad siphoned her life away. After three days Lady tobiume was dead and dragunetti dismissed, after having his hand broken.
Vlad sat next to tobiume's grave and noticed his brides had joined him. Haineko wrapped her arms around his neck, "so she is our new sister...is she capable" she purred and vlad grinned. Tobiume soon dug herself free and vlad nursed back to health, with his brides help. Vlad was not surprised that tobiume's first visit was to mahana and he didnt interfere but was proud how quickly she took to the night. Tobiume softly tapped on the window, waking the mourning lady in waiting, "mahana let me..I am so very cold" she whispered. Mahana slowly awoke and saw tobiume, "milady" she asked, in a bewildered tone but slowly stood opened the window. Tobiume glided in and took mahana by the hands, kissing them and soon placing kisses on her cheeks, "we can be together now..nothing can stop us...eternity can be ours" she whispered, fondly. Tobiume tilted mahana's head back and softly bit down and with it her step into the night began. Mahana started to become weak and tobiume was excited to begin the dark tryrst, however vlad needed to see her fury. Vlad entered mikonos' mind and convinced him mahana had the same disease as tobiume and may lead to epidemic. Mikonos in his fear had mahana killed and her body burned, with all her belongings. Vlad told tobiume this and the young vampriess but her reaction exceeded his expections. Tobiume howled in torment and anger, making a banshee jealous as she headed to the mikonos home, to slaughter those within. Vlad watched servants flee, screaming that mikonos was screaming bloody murder but soon saw the home catch fire. Shirayuki and Haineko watched in delight as tobiume emerged from the flaming home, with mikonos' severed head and covered in blood.
Shirayuki..Haineko and Tobiume..my three lovely brides...now my coven was complete...we left Greece heading north heading into Macedonia..then Bulgaria..familiar surroundings for me but for my brides..a competely new experience...I taught my brides to properly hunt and their uniqueness..shined through...Shirayuki's use of music enchanted her prey..while Haineko used her wiles for her prey...however Tobiume seemed to have an affinty for the fairer sex and strictly feed on women...Swearing No Man would touch her but Me...
In 1880 we arrived in Bucharest in my beloved home country of Romania...I took Kuukaku's advice and returned to my home country after nearly four centruies and was intrugued to find people still talked of me and my brides were shocked to find their master was the infamous Vlad The Impaler..It seems my Mother's auspicious words were indeed true...I surveyed the country for a suitable place to live and settle in Bistrița...however along the Tihuța Pass..I found an abandon castle...it secluded enough to remain hidden but close enough to a village for servants...I had my new gyspies secure the castle and my coven settled into perfectly...
*1895*
Vlad sat slightly amused as haineko and tobiume argued about anything from haineko's age to tobiume's slender figure. Vlad saw shirayuki on her throne drinking her blood from a goblet, "do they not amuse you" he thought. Shirayuki looked his way, "they do not..tell me again why you made them your brides...when you have me" she protests. Vlad rests his head on his hand, "you chose the night as they did...however since kuukaku would not leave japan you became my first bride...be thankful I saw pass your cold demeanor" he thought but grins, "then again...the way you scream in bed makes up for it" he adds. Shirayuki glares at vlad and bares her fangs, "I am going hunting before dawn" she hissed and vanished into mist. Haineko watched her leave with a catlike grin, "is she angry again...why must you keep her" she stated, sitting in his lap. Vlad softly chuckled, "she chose this..she was once a courtesan but her beauty was stolen and she asked...No demanded...I give her my gift" he states. Haineko nuzzles his cheek, "master may you ravish me today" she purred but tobiume yanked off his lap, "No...he will take me" she shouted. Haineko lunges at tobiume, both rolling around on the floor and vlad watched in amusement. The sounds of clothes ripping fill the throne room but soon ecstasy filled sighs soon were heard, "every time" he mused, leaving them to their devices. Tobiume had ripped open haineko's pink top and was suckling her left breast while grinding her womanhood on the haineko's leg. Haineko used her larger statute to reverse their position and pin the smaller girl under her as she continued to suck, "tobiume..mmm..why must we..mmm...everytime" she moaned. Tobiume panted in lust as haineko tore open her dress and stripped the girl naked and soon mashed their wet slits together and grinding them together. Their combined moans filled the hall as they continued to grind and howl as their orgasms soon exploded and a wave to pleasure filled their limp bodies as they panted on the cold floor.
Vlad walked through his fortress but knew it days were ending. Only several rooms were livable, his and brides' lair, a few bedrooms, library, kitchen and dining room. Vlad knew he needed a new home but Romania was lost him, "should the day come when Elizabeth tries to invade...I will need a stronger place to live...too long have I hidden myself" he thought. Vlad returned inside going to his library, staring at the globe he saw many places, "France...Spain...America oncemore...return Japan perhaps...no i know...the place which has eluded me...the empire that took many close to me...the British empire...namely London" he thought. Vlad had his gypsies bring him everything on England they could find and even sent some to london to survey places to live. Vlad studies the maps of london for weeks, using his his gypsies as his eyes and ears. Vlad found a firm to handle his relocation and decided to test his powers and influence the man to send someone to Romania. Vlad sat upon his throne, his legs crossed and his hands on his lap, guiding one of his servants to a real estate company in Upminster England. The task was taxing and put a great amount of stress on him and his abilities. Vlad had ordered his brides to bring him several virgins to feed on after his task was done.
Mareshino Omaeda sat his desk sipping his tea when a woman in a revealing grey dress entered, quickly sitting up straight he offered her a seat, "can I help you madam" he states but his eyes are fixed on her chest. The woman cleared her throat, "my master has sent me to inquire about residence in your great land...he is of noble descent and wishes to move to London" she states. Omaeda slowly nodded but his mind was on other things, "I see well at our company we strive for excellence...may I offer you some tea" he states and the woman nods. Omaeda fixes the tea but is unaware of the woman pouring a vial of red liquid in his tea. The woman smiles as she takes the tea and omaeda sat down to drink his, "does your lord have a place in mind" he inquires and sips his tea. Omaeda notices a odd taste but drinks the tea anyway, "my Lord wishes for someone to come to his castle in Romania with documents for the purchases of several places including Carfax Abbey in Purfleet and an estate in Rainham perhaps or such" she explains, handing him a list. Omaeda looked over the list, "I see..these places will take time but it will be no trouble" he states. The woman rises from her seat and bows giving omaeda a view of her ample cleavage, "my master will look forward to hearing from you" she states. Omaeda watches from his window as the woman left, "do you desire her" a voice inquires and omaeda looked around but saw no one, "hello" he stated out loud but got no reply. Omaeda set to work to find the places the woman's master wanted, "do you desire power" a voice asked and again omaeda saw no one.
"I can give to power all you must do is obey me...but if you wish proof...tonight that woman will desire you and give you untold pleasure" the voice assured. Omaeda scoffed slightly, "must be tired...I'm hearing voices" he thought. Omaeda finished his work and headed home but was completely shocked as the woman was standing outside his flat. The woman followed him inside and he closed the woman started to undress and closed the gap between them, "do you desire me...I will give so untold vilds" she stated, in her heavy accent. Vlad opened his eyes and stretched deeply, "he will be useful but I must be cautious and not ruin his mind" he thought. The weeks pass as vlad works omaeda to prepare the paperwork for his move, most were in metropolitan area of london and some in the countryside. Vlad knew his influence on omaeda was strong but his mind weak, using images of his brides committing lewd acts with him further pushed the stability of his mind. In the spring of 1896 it happened and omaeda attaked a woman on holiday and was sent to an asylum in Purfleet runned by mayuri kurotsuchi but not before having the presence of mind to give the contracts to one his assistants a byakuya kuchiki. Vlad used the time till mr kuchiki to arrive, making his fortress somewhat presentable and ordering his gypsies to fill boxes with earth. Vlad studied everything for his trip and even changed his appearance to that of an older man in his fifties or sixties, much to the chagrin of his brides. Vlad had sent a letter to byakuya with directions and money for the train and ship ride. Byakuya watched the sun slowly set over the mountains from his train, "such beauty" he thought. Byakuya reached in his bag and retrieved a letter with red wax seal and the letter D in the center, breaking the seal and read it contents, "I welcome you to my land...I hope you enjoy the scenery...I look forward to seeing your majestic city and your people...a carriage will be waiting for you after sunset...cordially...D" he read. Byakuya folded the letter up and placed it in his bag as the train started to slow.
The stars started to emerge in the sky as byakuya waited for his carriage but suddenly a howl filled the air as a black carriage appeared from a sudden ghostly mist. The horses snorted as a ghostly driver sat at the reigns, "is this the carriage to count dracula" he asks but got no reply. The carriage door slowly opens as byakuya cautiously climbed in with his bags, with a sudden crack of the whip as horses neighed and lurched off. The path was treacherous as byakuya looked out the window and saw a deep incline. After what seemed like hours the carriage arrived at a castle safely tucked in mountains and a river not far away. The castle was foreboding and seem to have fallen in disrepair, "how can someone live like this" he thought, stepping out into a dead looking courtyard, dead trees and hardly any flowers. A large double door stood in front of byakuya as he stepped from the courtyard, knocking several time byakuya got no reply. However the door creaked open with a slow groan as if it hadn't been open in years, "Is anyone here?!" he called out. The area was eerily quiet but byakuya kept his steely resolve, "Welcome to my castle" a voice states. Byakuya looks to see an older man holding a lantern, "are you Count Dracula...I am byakuya kuchiki...I am here to finalize your purchases...my partner Mr Omaeda was unable to make the trip" he says, as the man comes closer. Byakuya notices the man looks about sixty or older, his skin pale and wrinkled and his long white hair is in a ponytail but his eyes are strong and a piercing blue. The man gives a soft smile, "I...am...Dracula..I bid you Welcome" he started and extended his hand, "Enter freely of your own Free Will...And Leave Some of the Joy you Bring" he adds. Byakuya feels this sense of dread but slowly enters the castle as vlad picks up his bags. Byakuya tries to protest but vlad easily lifts them, "I apologize for having no servants but I do have a meal prepared...once you settle in...and eat...we can discuss the contracts" vlad states. Byakuya follows vlad on a quick tour and then to a modest bedroom with an adjoining bathroom, "please enjoy" vlad states and leaves. Byakuya cleaned himself and walked the halls to the dining room, a modest spread of ham, mashed potatoes, fruits and various cheeses.
Vlad stood at the end of the table, "please eat your fill...forgive me for not joining you...I have already dined" he states. Byakuya slowly ate while vlad looked on, "your mr omaeda spoke well of you" vlad states. Byakuya sipped his drink and looked at a portrait, "thank you...is that a relative...I can see the resemblance" he says. Vlad looked at the portrait as he stood, "yes...an ancestor from the order of the Dracul...or dragon...defenders of the cross in the past...I am the last one...when I die..my line ends" he sadly states. Byakuya finishes his meal and heads to his room, "Mr Kuchiki...I think you should retire for the night...we will sign the contracts tomorrow...I will have breakfast for you but I will not be joining you...I must tend to some issues and will not be back until the evening" vlad states. Byakuya gives a curt nod and closed the door, "this count is very odd...I sense this uneasiness but I feel like I'm being watched" he thought.
Meanwhile vlad entered the lair of his brides, haineko and tobiume were out hunting while shirayuki sat on the cushions near a large canopy bed, "something on your mind" shirayuki asked. Vlad returned to his younger form, "not particularly...I wanted tell you something...I will be taking haineko and tobiume to england...you will remain here in my stead...once the papers are signed...keep him here..if need be turn him...once I conquer london...I will send for you...can you do this my lady" he explained. Shirayuki rose to her feet and glided towards him, "I can" she states and runs her cold fingers in his shirt, "but I ask that you take me one last time" she purrs. Vlad grins and kisses her lips, "of course" he coos as shirayuki undoes her obi and reveals her flawless body. Vlad pulls her closer and nuzzles her slender neck as he glides to their bed, before sinking his fangs in. Shirayuki mews in pleasure as vlad laps up her blood but she quickly bites him and they share each others blood, before sharing another sloppy kiss. Vlad moves down to her chest licking and sucking her nipples as she moans more and more, "master" she moaned. Vlad pentrated her with a hard thrust as he moved his hips, shirayuki howled with each thrust and vlad grinned, biting her breast and speeding up. Vlad reached his climax as shirayuki rode out her own but he felt another presence, looking back he saw haineko and tobiume stripping. Haineko climbed in first deeply kissing vlad, "I can still taste the fresh blood" he purred as tobiume climbed in and kissed shirayuki, "can I kiss them" she cooed, before licking one of shirayuki's nipples. Shirayuki pulled tobiume closer to her waiting mouth and bit into her neck as haineko mounted vlad, her nails clawing his chest. The bedsheets soon were red as each tasted each other, blood and sex filled the air as vlad mounted each of his brides over and over bringing them thunderous climax after climax. The sun slowly rose as vlad and his brides are entangled in mass of naked flesh, blood and sex, "Its good to be the king" he muses.
By Nightfall Byakuya sits in vlad's study with documents as vlad looks them over, "count once you sign...you will be proud owner of several properties around London but based on the map...why some many if..it is you alone" he asked. Vlad tipped his glasses down, "I wish to explore your great land...if I cant make it to my home in Rainham...one of the others can suffice" he explains. Vlad signed the last of the papers and then retrieved a few blank sheets, "Mr Kuchiki...if you be so kind to write to your company and anyone dear to and tell them you will remain with me until a month from now" he states but his voice relayed he would not accept a no. Byakuya slowly nodded as vlad noticed a photo of a beautiful young woman with black hair and a few strands between her doe like eyes, "ohh you found hisana" byakuya says, reaching for the photo. Byakuya noticed the saddened look on vlad's face, "have you been married count" he asks and vlad nods, "yes..long ago...she drowned...which reminds me on a tale of long ago...not far from here is the Arges river...legends speak that my ancestor had a fate similar to my own...his princess fell into that very river...since then it was called by some...the princess river" he explained. Vlad then looked Byakuya in the eye, "never take the one you love for granted" he states. Byakuya returned to his room and decided to shave, using a small mirror he started but did not notice vlad enter the room and when he did, nicked his cheek. Vlad seem to glide over and took the razor, "take care not to cut yourself...here let me" he whispers. Vlad takes the razor not before licking the blood off, "mmm...sweet" he thought. Vlad slowly shaved byakuya but he hissed seeing the cross, "don't put your faith in such things" he growled, backing away and leaving but stopped, "should you decide to wander the castle...take care some of the areas are very old" he adds, vanishing. Byakuya headed to look the window as the wolves howled but gasped, vlad crawling down the side of castle to a window.
[A/N...I will use the brides names for coming scene...]
Byakuya rushed out his room and downstairs and found an unlocked door that leads to the lower levels. Byakuya pushed the door open after finding a lantern, "something most strange is going on" he thought. Byakuya followed the steps and found a single double door slightly ajar, "Byakuya come to me" a voice echoed but he saw no one. Byakuya pushed open the door, "mmm...come to me" another said. Byakuya saw a closed canopy and slowly opened to see a large low bed with numerous pillows, "lay back into my arms" a third voice moans. Byakuya moves not by his own will and sat down on the bed but behind him the sheets shift. Suddenly and slowly haineko emerged from between his legs, her breasts softly jiggling as she crawled atop him. A slow moan escaped byakuya's lips as leaned he back and haineko's hands roamed his lower body. Tobiume soon appeared as haineko tore open his shirt but she hisses ripping off his cross and slowly licking chest, while tobiume slowly kissed his lips. Byakuya slow moaned as haineko and tobiume explored his body as haineko licked his wrist and tobiume his chest. Byakuya felt a third set of hands unbuckle his pants as shirayuki appeared and looked him in the eyes as her fangs extended. Byakuya moans loudly as shirayuki engulfs his manhood in her mouth and her fellow brides sink their fangs his wrists. All three brides moan in ecstasy as they slowly try to drain him but suddenly the door fly opens as vlad busts in, "How Dare you Take him Without My Permission" he roared. The trio scurry away like rats as byakuya is in complete disbelieve, "why do you not give him to us master" haineko whined. Vlad glares at her his eyes gold, "I have a use for him..till then..He is not Yours" he hissed. The three soon rushed to vlad's side fawning over him as byakuya looks on horror, "do not fear me...mr kuchiki...everyone else does" he states but starts laughing darkly as byakuya passes out.
Meanwhile in Rainham England near purfleet hisana sat at her typewriter completely unaware of byakyua's ordeal. Hisana wore a light blue Victorian dress and her raven hair in a bun, "its been several weeks since Byakuya left for Romania...it pains me that we were not married but he assured me..we will when he returns...I am staying with my friend Lisa who is the daughter of Dr Mayuri Kurotsuchi...lisa is very beautiful and wealthy...while I am a simple school teacher...but byakuya always assures me that it is good enough for him...we are rich in other ways" she typed. Hisana pushed back from her chair as the sound of laughing caught her attention, "hisana I love him" a girl squeals. Hisana sees her friend Lisa as she walked in, wearing a white Victorian dress and red framed glasses on her nose, "whom do you love" hisana inquiries. Lisa leads hisana to the drawing room where her father mayuri kurotsuchi was speaking to a man with a cowboy hat and grey suit. Mayuri was a man of average height with shoulder length blue hair wearing a brown suit, "he's an American a young lord..with new money...Shunsui Kyoraku...he's so big" she states and hisana blushes, "such things to say" she whispers. The men notice the girls, "Ms Lisa its so good to see you" shunsui greets, kissing her hand. Lisa gushes with a smile, "hello shunsui...this is byakuya's fiancée hisana" she says and shunsui nods with a smile and all exchange pleasantries in the garden till the rain lightly falls. Lisa and hisana decide to play in the rain, laughing and running through the small maze garden. Lisa and hisana share a quick chaste kiss as a crack thunder shocks them to the core and they rush inside.
Meanwhile a russian schooner nears Canvey as the rain falls heavily and waves crash, "a strange storm appears as we near Canvey from varna...several of my crew dead...some whisper of mysterious women" the captain thought, tying himself to the helm. Vlad soon emerged from the hold, "we are here" he muses as the ship crashes ashore. Vlad leapt onto the beach as haineko and tobiume followed, "scout the area but do not feed...then head to RavenHelm in Rainham" he ordered. Haineko and tobiume grin as they shift into a mass of bats and fly away. Vlad heads to the sanitarium where omaeda was and sees him with face in the bars, "Master...Master...I exist to serve you" he howled. Vlad watched with mild amusement on his face when heard singing. The singing led him to a rose maze garden near the asylum and a young with long black in a light blue night gown wandering around in a daze, "sleepwalking...hmm...her scent is interesting" vlad thought. Vlad probed the girl's mind and found she knew byakuya and his fiancée. Hisana awoke with a start as a crack of thunder and flash of lightning filled her room, getting up she to check on lisa due to sleepwalking spells. Hisana slowly knocked and pushed open the door to find Lisa's bed empty and her door to the garden was open, "Lisa?!" she shouted. Hisana ran through the maze but soon heard what sounded like moaning, "Lisa!" she shouted, following the sounds. Hisana gasped wide eyed seeing lisa sprawled on a concrete bench and what looked like a man on top her, exploring her body in a lewd manner. Lisa moaned loudly among thunder as vlad sinks his fangs into her neck, sampling her lifeblood. Movement caught his eyes as hisana appeared wide eyed and scared. Vlad removed himself from Lisa's embrace, "No do not see me" he whispers in her mind, before running off. Hisana quickly rushed to lisa who was softly moaning, "hisana...where am I...those eyes...those gold eyes...I can taste his blood in my mouth" lisa rambles, as hisana takes her inside. Hisana calls for doctor kurotsuchi and shunsui, "what happened" mayuri asked and hisana, "I do not know..I found her in the garden...she kept saying a man with gold eyes" hisana explains. Mayuri checks his daughter vitals and she is anemic with two small punctures on her neck, "what is this" he thought. Hisana sleeps beside lisa till morning and decided to head into london for some medicine for lisa.
Vlad walked through the hustle and bustle of london's street, his cane in hand wearing a black victorian suit with gloves and blue tinted sunglasses. Vlad tipped his hat to each passerby as he walked through town, "Escaped wolf from the zoo...buy a paper sir" a boy asked. Vlad took the paper and generously payed the boy, when he saw hisana across the street. Hisana wore a lime green dress with matching hat and gloves, "See me...See me Now" he mouthed and hisana glanced his way as she entered a store. Vlad watched from a distance, "the photo did not do her just cause" he thought but hurried across the stret as hisana exited the store. Hisana headed outside the store only to bump into someone and dropped her parcel but the person caught it. The person held her parcel, "please forgive me...I am new to your land and..perchance a beautiful lady might" he states but hisana rebuffs him, "you may purchase a street atlas over there" she firmly stated. However hisana could not keep her eyes off of his steel-blue orbs, "I have offended you" he says as she walks pass him. The man gets in her path again, "please I am a stranger in your land..but..it would be a diservice for me to let you walk alone" he states. Hisana's violet-blue eyes narrow, "Sir I have a husband but if you continue this behavior I will call for officer of the law" she states. The man suddenly bowed his head, "I have deeply offended you again...I Will bother you no more" he states. Hisana sees the sulien look on his face, "No it was I who rude..kind sir...my name is hisana harker" she states. The man removes his hat with a bow, "I am Prince Vlad...and I am in your service" he greets, kissing her hand. Vlad escorts hisana to the local cinematograph to see its wonder. Hisana was enamored by vlad and his almost childlike wonder, "your land is truly majestic with such technology" he states. A sudden scream filled the tent as people ran in fright of a large wolf. Hisana was separated from vlad as people ran but she gasps as the wolf was now in front of her. The wolf bared his teeth at hisana, "las-o în pace .. ea este a mea" a voice commands. Hisana look to see vlad, "Come here" he stated and the wolf trotted over him and lets vlad pet him, "come here..hisana...he will not harm you" he states. Hisana slowly approaches and reaches to pet the wolf and he whines softly as she rubs his fur, "vlad how did you do this" she whispers and vlad smiles, "you have show them who is boss" he states. The police and zookeeper arrive to take the wolf as Vlad escorts hisana home. Hisana told vlad goodnight but invited him for tea another day, before heading upstairs to see lisa but lisa was still asleep. The next day around midday hisana found Lisa at her vanity mirror combing her hair as hisana opens the door, "hello ana...how are you" she asked and hisana closed the door, "I am well but what about you" she replies.
[A/N...las-o în pace .. ea este a mea..means leave her alone she is mine]
Lisa places her comb on the desk and slips on her glasses, "ana...I feel strange..like I am changing almost...when I woke up this morning I could hear everything...servants in other rooms...rats is the wall but I have horrid dreams too..strange" she whispers. Lisa wobbly stands but hisana catches her and ushers her to bed, "you are not well...I will tell your father" she soothes, pulling up the sheets. Lisa watches hisana leave but her hand drifts to her neck and the marks on it, suddenly her body became warm and a soft moan escaped her lips. Lisa's other hand caressed her chest and further down to her private area, "take me my mysterious stranger" she thought, slowly touching herself. Hisana headed downstairs as mayuri and shunsui headed up, "has she woken up" mayuri asked. Hisana sighed softly, "she is but she is still weak..I do not know why" she replies. Shunsui and mayuri continue upstairs to lisa's room and find her wheezing on the bed, "Lisa..darling are you ok" shunusi asks but lisa weakly smiles, "this illness is beyond me...as her father I am at a lost" mayuri states. Meanwhile hisana enters her room and finds a letter from byakuya, "dearest hisana...the count has asked to remain here for a month to teach him proper british etiquette...love byakuya" she read but softly cried.
A servant opened the door and relayed that vlad had arrived, hisana quickly made herself presentable and headed downstairs. Hisana reached downstairs but found speaking with mayuri and shunsui, "ms hisana..we were meeting your protector..quite a guy to save you from a wolf" shunsui states. The group sat down in the garden as servants served tea, "where are you from vlad" shunsui asked. Vlad gently picked up his tea, "many places but my home is near moldavia and you mr kyoraku" he replies and shunsui chuckles, "texas..my father struck rich with gold in california and sliver in utah" he states. Hisana felt almost out place as vlad and shunsui spoke of many things, "ms hisana have you recieved word from byakuya" shunsui asked and she nodded, "yes..he will not return till a month from now" she replies. Vlad smirked enternally, "maybe as one of my army" he thought and reached in his coat, "ms harker..mr kyoraku and mr kurotsuchi..since you are the the only people I have met...I would like you to be my honored guests at my party in a few weeks...a way to introduce myself to the elite on your land" he states. Each takes an invitation and looked it over, "you have a mansion rainham...pretty impressive...lisa and I will surely attend" shunsui states. Vlad glances at hisana as kurotsuchi agrees, "I will think about it prince vlad" she states and vlad smiles, "please call me vlad" he replies.
The men soon move to the inside for a game of pool while hisana attends to some errands, "so vlad..do prefer high or low" shunsui asks. Vlad removes his coat, "high" he states, picking up a cue as shunsui breaks. Two balls enter the pocket as shunsui smiles, "are you a bachelor perchance" he asks and vlads nods, "yes..my wife passed away" he replies, shooting the 4ball into the corner pocket. Vlad misses his next shot as shunsui takes his turn, "my condolences" he states, missing a shot but vlad passes. Kurotsuchi watches vlad pass two times, "my apologizes...I am waiting for the perfect moment" vlad states, lighting a cigar. Shunsui sinks his second to last shot but passes on his next, "Well the moment has come" vlad states, rising from his seat. Kurotsuchi is slightly flabbergasted, "you have passed three time..and you intend to sink them all...Greed will be your undoing" he states. Vlad looks over the table and lines up his shot, "Am I Undone" he muses, sinking every shot much to the shock of kurotsuchi. The men play several more games as evening approaches and vlad excuses himself for the night. Vlad leaves the ground but passes near lisa's lower floor room, "hmm perchance to dine" he thought, seeing lisa alone in her room and peered inside. Lisa clenched her sheets as vlad removes his hat and raises his hand. Lisa slowly rises not by her will but vlad stops as someone approaches and turns into a bat as lisa collasped on her bed.
