Hi! Just on a side-note, can you guess who Dracula is talking to in the beginning? I don't own Pokemon, but I own Dracula's mind... *smirks*

A Stranger's POV

I sighed deeply as I stared at the computer screen.

To: my rival

Subject: new arrival

You should be getting someone this midnight. His hair is green, and so are his eyes. You should spot him easily. Send someone to pick him up. He will be waiting outside your castle.

-Dracula

"Very well, then", I murmured as I stood up. I ran a hand through my red and black hair. (*)

"I will be waiting for midnight to come."

May's POV

I looked at the raw meat and wanted to barf. I don't understand how ANYONE could eat raw meat but I guess vampires are an exception.

"Eat it, girl. It will be your only meal of the night...or day. I don't get how you humans live", the vampire said. His face was pale and his brown hair covered his eyes, which were a steely blue. He walked away.

"I'm not eating it." I stuck out my tongue at the bowl of meat and kicked it aside.

Drew's POV

"Not this one either..."

"Drew, you said you knew where May was!"

"I do. But there are thirty basements in this castle. Everyone is stored with something, but two have dungeons in them." Saying this made my heart sink to the bottom of my stomach.

Ash sighed.

"Mr. Hayden! Mr. Ketchup!"

"KETCHUP? Oh no, here's Laura."

I looked down, only to see a young vampire girl with dirty blond hair hugging my legs.

"Hey, Laura."

"Mr. Hayden, is it true that you have to leave at midnight? Where are you going? Can I come with you?" she asked quickly.

I felt confused. Leave at midnight? "What's this business of me having to leave?"

Laura stared up at me with her purple eyes. "You don't know? Oh..."

There was an awkward silence. Then-

"Laura, don't call me Mr. Ketchup anymore. I think I explained enough times for you to remember my name is Mr. Ketchum or Ash."

She frowned. "But Ketchum doesn't sound good. I used to hear calling older people by their first names is rude."

"But-"

I left them arguing and went to the Master's room.

"Hey, Dracula."

He looked up from his computer and growled, "What? Can't you see I'm busy?"

I smirked. "And I'm supposed to care?"

His eyes turned cold and harsh. "Yes."

"Anyway, Laura said something about me leaving at midnight. That's three hours from now."

"It's true. I'm sending you to the Vampaneze."

Just to steam him up, I asked, "Why?" I knew fairly why.

"Because you had fun with a human, our prey. Your target. NOW LEAVE!"

"Okay, okay, sheesh." With that, I left, leaving the door open.

**********************3 HOURS LATER (12:00)****************************

Grabbing my suitcase, I went into the car. I took my last look at Vampire Castle. God, I wonder if Ash can find May. If he doesn't, I don't even want to think about it.

"Are you ready, Hayden?" the driver asked gruffly.

"Yeah..."

He started up the car. In the rear view mirror, I could see Dracula staring after the car.

It felt unreal, as if I were dreaming.

About an hour passed. Vampaneze Castle was obviously very far away from Vampire Castle.

I opened, the door, got my suitcase, and got out. I took a deep breath.

"Welcome, green-haired vampire."

I turned around and saw a hooded Vampaneze.

"Come inside, to your doom."

"Doom?"

"Just kidding."

I'm not too sure about THAT.

*: This character is NOT me! He doesn't have green bangs! Or maybe he does...but I highly doubt that. XD

This chapter was just awkward.
