I do not own

Alice sat down in the garden area reading a book that she picked in the library. It was the Bram Stoker book Dracula. She had to stop herself from laughing when she spotted it, wondering what Vlad would say about it. If he found her reading it he would take it out of her hands and chucked it in the fire pit. What Vlad really hated the most was what humans thought what vampires looks like. He pretty much burned all the Twilight books so Sophia wouldn't read them, saying it was too sweet and disturbing for any young teen to read. Well she had to agree with him there. It was a little too fruity for her taste.

She winced when she started to feel another pain again. They've been happening every 15 minutes.

"Okay…you're not just doing this because of the book right?" She asked

She grunted at the pain again and suddenly she felt wet underneath. She knew it was time.

"Okay, okay. Um Jess! Jesse!" Alice said

Jesse was working in his shed when he heard Alice call and the dogs started barking. Not wanting Vlad to be pissed at him he hurried to the garden.

"Yeah, what's up baby mama?" He asked

"I need you to take me to the infirmary. My water just broke. It's time." She said and tried to get up

Hearing the words 'water broke' and 'it's time,' his eyes widen and quickly carried her to the infirmary.

"Oh fuck! Oh fuck!" He muttered

"Jesse put me down." Alice said as he carried her bridal style

"Sorry sweetheart, but this will be much faster. Lucifer, get the boss!" Jesse said as he hurried them inside

He ran, but carefully, all the way to the infirmary room. When they went in the room the only people he saw were Hershel and Lori.

"Eileen! Eileen!" Jesse shouted

"What's going on?" Hershel asked

"Her water just broke." Jesse said "Eileen!"

Suddenly Midnight started to growled and footsteps were heard behind them.

"Sorry…but Eileen won't be coming." A voice said

They turned and saw a woman with short blonde hair and red eyes.

"Let's just say…she passed out for the moment." The woman darkly smirked and five men with guns appeared behind her.

"Who are you?" Alice growled

"The name's Mina." She darkly smiled

Outside the gate area the workers were taking a short break. Everyone was either drinking some water or eating dry meant while Vlad was carving up a small wooden horse that he has started about two days ago.

"That's pretty good man." T-dog said after taking a sip of his water

"It's for my baby boy." Vlad smiled

"You know I've been meaning to asked, how were you people able to get this gate built?" Daryl asked "I mean with all the Walkers around they would be coming because of all the noise from chopping down the trees."

Daryl was happy to have his family back but he knew there was something off about this group. Especially Vlad, Morgan and Angelina. There was something they weren't telling them. Even Merle wouldn't tell him and he tells him everything. Vlad was still working on his little hobby and just smirked at his question. He knew that Daryl was an observer just like Merle.

"We have our ways." Vlad said

Morgan mentally laughed.

"Besides we have the dogs. They pretty much warn us if a Walker passes by." Vlad said and then blew off some wood dust.

Then he frowned when he saw Lucifer running towards them barking. Lucifer told him from their mental bond that Alice was in labor and Vlad ran to the prison.

"Vlad! What's going on?!" Morgan said

"Alice is in labor!" Vlad shouted

Everybody followed after him. With his fast speed Vlad was half way there until he smelled an unknown scent. It was in the infirmary room. He growled and opened the doors with great forced only to see the place a mess.

"Alice!" He shouted in a panic as he looked around the place. "Alice!"

He heard whimpering and saw Midnight on ground badly hurt. He crouched down and placed some pressure on the wound, even though it will heal soon.

"What happened? Show me." He ordered

Through her mind he saw everything that happened and saw one face he couldn't believe was still alive.

"Impossible." He whispered

"Whoa…what the hell happened here?" Daryl said

Vlad took a deep breath, trying very hard to keep his anger inside and stood up.

"We've been attack." He said and then looked at Morgan. "Get Angelina down here. We're going to track them down."

Morgan nodded and did what he was told to do. When he left Carol came in and told Rick that she couldn't fine Hershel or Lori anywhere. That made Rick panic and was about to search for her.

"They have her. Along with Hershel, Jesse, Eileen…and Alice." Vlad said

He walked out of the room without saying another word. He, Morgan and Angelina started arming themselves in the weapon room.

"You do know that there may be a lot of them right?" Angelina said "You've trained us well but…I don't think we can take down a whole army."

"I know, that's why I have a plan." Vlad said sheathing his sword and loaded a few guns.

Morgan looked at him and knew what he was thinking.

"The Walkers." He said

"Ever since Merle told me about the other vampire in Woodbury, I've been hiding them, forcing them in a deep sleep until I need them." Vlad said

When they were finished they walked to the court yard were everyone was waiting for them.

"Nathan you're in charge until we get back." Vlad said

Nathan nodded

"Bring Eileen back to me. Leave none of them alive." Nathan glared

"I promise." Vlad said

"Boss." Gabriel said and walked up and tossed Vlad a new developed crossbow.

Vlad caught it with ease and examined it.

"Jesse has been working on it. I thought you might want to use it." Gabriel said

"The arrows?" Vlad asked

"Jesse modified them too." Gabriel smiled "That baby is gas operated automatic. You just need these. I don't know how many rounds they are but let's hope you get them all before you run out." And tossed him a cylindrical drum that was full of arrows inside.

"Thank you." Vlad said and shook his hand

He loaded up the crossbow and then heard tiny footsteps behind him. He looked over his shoulder and saw Sophia with her bow and quiver full of arrows over her shoulder and her sword strapped to her hip.

"You're not going Sophia." He said

"But I want to help mama." She said "I'm not that same scared girl you found in the woods. I'm stronger now. You and mama made me stronger."

"I know you are." He smiled and cupped her face. "That's why I want you to stay here and look after the other children. Out of all the kids you are the strongest and the smartest. I need you to lead them if anything happens to us okay. I'm leaving them in your hands Sophia. I know you'll make me proud."

"I will papa." She said

He smiled and kissed her head and then motion Chris to come over.

"I want you to listen to your sister no matter and never leave her side, understand?" Vlad said

"Yes dad." Chris said

"You two remember what I taught you if they come back. Don't show them weakness." Vlad said in Romanian

"Yes papa." They said in Romanian

He kissed their heads one more time before they left.

Rick, Daryl and T-dog walked over to them with their guns and weapons.

"We're coming with you." Rick said

"You people will just get in our way." Angelina scoffed

"I admired your courage Rick and I understand why you want to come but its best that you let us handle this." Vlad said "You and your group are not ready to fight these beings."

"Look asshole, that's my sister that they took so I'm coming with you no matter what you say." Daryl glared

"And that my wife. And Hershel is part of our family too so like it or not we're going with you." Rick said

Vlad looked over to Angelina and she just scoffed muttering whatever. So seeing that they're going to find out sooner or later he allowed them to come. Merle went to open the gate for them.

"Get my sister back." He muttered to Vlad. "Give those fuckers hell, Ghost."

Vlad nodded and went in the car as Morgan pulled up and they drove off. They drove on the road for a few minutes until Vlad told them to stop. Rick and the others didn't understand why. After hiding the car Vlad took them further in the woods and stumbled upon an old hunting bunk. Vlad took off the bushes that was hiding it and opened the doors. He warned Morgan and Angelina to hold their breaths before he did. When they jumped in Rick, Daryl and T-dog couldn't believe what was inside. Walkers. Dozens of them.

"What…the…fuck." T-dog whispered

"You said you wanted to know what we've been doing with the Walker situation. This is it." Vlad said as he looked at each one, trying to fine the right zombies for his plan. "If they're too old we kill them off, ending their life."

Daryl took a look a one of them and noticed that they were sleeping. He didn't think that was possible.

"Those that look fresh and not too weak we send them here in case we need them for battle." Vlad said and found a fresh. "You'll do. Up and Adam Jo."

The Walker woke up and started to stand.

"Go outside and wait for my orders." Vlad said

It started to walk to the entrance but when it got a whiff of Rick, Daryl and T-dog it growled and was about to attack them.

"Hey! They are not…to be eaten. Stand down now and do as you're ordered." Vlad command

To Ricks group surprise the Walker actually listen and went outside. As Vlad continued his search he was able to fine six more fresh ones. He ordered them to wake up and had them go outside. Then he order them to kneel and he took out a large bottle that had his blood in it. He wasn't sure if his plan was going to work but he had to try.

"What are you? How are you able to control them?" Rick asked

"It's a little hard to explain, Rick. You left before we could explain what I am." Vlad said "You see, I have lived for a very long time that I've called by many names throughout the ages. I guess…the prefect term to call me is a vampire." Then looked at Rick as eyes glowed. "Tell me, who's only vampire that have you heard of with same name…as mine."

It took a few minutes but T-dog was able to piece it all together.

"Dracula? As in thy Vladimir Dracula?" T-dog said

"I prefer Vlad if you don't mind." Vlad shrugged

"So…you three are actual vampires?" Daryl asked "What about everyone else?"

"Morgan and Angelina were near death. They asked to be turn. The others are human and accepted what I am…what we are." Vlad said "Don't worry we do feed on blood both human and animal but we kill those that lost their humanity or worse."

"And let's not forget Alice. She is one of us too." Angelina said

"What? You sick sum 'of…" Daryl moved to punched Vlad but Rick and T-dog were able to hold him back.

"That was an accident…that I regret. But I love her and would have asked her either way if she wanted this life with me sooner or later. We're mates she and l. We are destined to be with each other." Vlad said "Hate me all you want but I can't change it."

"Okay we understand but…why do you have…" Rick said as jested to the walkers

"Because we aren't the only vampires around." Morgan said

"There are other out there…but…they're not too friendly as us. That's why I've been keeping them here just in case. I can command them, keep them in control." Vlad said "And the vampires that broken into our home…it seemed that they were after you."

"Us?" T-dog said

"They've been following you for a while. I smelled it out there when we first found you." Angelina said "If we didn't come you guys would've been on their menu that day."

"So why did they take Alice and the other and not just all of us?" Daryl asked

"I don't know but I know it's not good. I think their target was Alice. She is carrying to first vampire that's been born…not bitten." Vlad said "That's why we must hurry." Then turned to the Walkers. "Take one gulp and pass it around." He ordered

Each of them took one sip of his blood from the bottle and they all started to shake. Some of their disfigure and gashes started to heal a little, their skin turned grayish white, muscles started to grow back, nails had grown sharp, eyes glowed red and their teeth turned sharp.

"Vlad? What did you do?" Angelina asked

"Don't worry, they're still under my control." Vlad said and looked at the new breed of zombies. "I am of need of your help. My strength is your strength now. When you are finished with your job I will grant you your freedom from your shell body. Do we have an agreement?"

The new breed looked at each other and nodded their heads in agreement.

"We…agree." One said

"Whoa, it spoke." Daryl said

"My blood had given them some of their human abilities back. But because the zombie virus had already taken over my blood can only heal half of their brain. They'll never be able to return back." Vlad said "Let's go."

Alice woke up and found herself chained up to a bed. She tried to get up but she felt a little dizzy still and the pain in her stomach started again.

"Alice."

She turned her head to the side and saw Eileen and Hershel chained in a cell. Before she could say anything a noise was heard from above and then the metal door opened. Alice growled when she saw Mina walk in with that damn smirk. Then she saw another person come in and it was an older man. He looked familiar but she couldn't remember from where. But something about him made her frighten a little. His blood smelled much older than Vlad's.

"Hello Alice. It's great to finally meet you." The man said

"You fuckers are all going to die. When Vlad hears about this he'll be coming and slaughter you all." Alice growled

"My dear child, I am counting on it. When he does, I'll finally get what I deserve." He said and placed his hand on her stomach. "Along with a new body."

Alice tried to get his hand away from her unborn child and hissed at him. The man just smirked and turned to the guards by the cell.

"Bring the humans here. The baby will be coming soon." The man said before leaving with Mina behind him.

The guards unchained Eileen and Hershel and ushered them towards Alice.

"Where's Jesse?" Alice asked

"I don't know. They took him and Lori somewhere else. And I'm a little worry about her." Eileen said

"Why?" Alice asked

"She's in labor just like you. And from what she told me she can't do a normal delivery." Hershel said "She needs a C section or she and the baby will die."

.

.

.

In another room far from them Jesse and Lori were chained up. Lori was scared and Jesse tried to keep her calm for the baby sake. They heard Alice screaming and knew she was giving birth right now. Then Mina came in the room with two guards.

"Well now…how's my new little toy?" She smiled

"Peachy bitch." Jesse smirked

She smirked back and smacked him hard on the cheek. He fell to the ground and started to chuckle before he spit out his blood.

"You know…" He laughed "You assholes really fucked up."

"Really…what makes you say that?" Mina asked

"Well for one thing, you cocksucker, you took the bosses wife." He said and stood up on his knees. "You have no idea what he's capable of. Or how bad his temper gets when it involves his Alice."

"Trust me honey I know. It's gonna be a real blood bath and I can't wait to see how this one ends." She purred

"You really are one twisted bitch you know that." Jesse said

Before he could say anything Lori started to scream as a wet sound heard.

"Oh sweet Jesu no." Jesse whispered

"I see you are starting too." Mina smirked

"Get away from her." Jesse sneered

He tried to move but Mina threw him to the other side of the wall and the guards held him down

"From what I heard…you can't do a normal labor. Such a pity." Mina said

"Please don't hurt me." Lori pleaded

"Sshhh…it's okay dear. I'm going to help. It's only going to hurt just a little." Mina darkly smiled

She brought out her index finger and lower it to Lori's stomach. Lori cried and try to get away but she was held by another guard that sneaked in.

"I always did like playing with my food." Mina smirked

"You get away from her you succubus bitch!" Jesse yelled

Mina ignored him and sliced down through Lori stomach slowly and not too deep. Lori screamed and cried from the pain over and over. Then Mina cut through the other side and she couldn't stop herself from laughing as Lori kept screaming. She reached inside the womb and took the crying baby.

"Mmm…she smells so...delicious." Mina said as licked blood off the baby.

Lori tried to reach for her baby girl but with the loss of so much blood she was dying quickly.

"Jess…Jesse…please…tell Rick…that I'm…I'm sor…sorry." Lori said

With those last words Lori no longer moved or breathed.

"Aw…what a shame. She didn't last long." Mina smirked "Put a bullet to her head before she becomes one of those flit."

The guard nodded and shot her two times in head making the baby girl cry more. Getting annoyed Mina placed the baby on bed before turning towards Jesse.

"The baby won't satisfy my hunger so I'll have her for desert." Mina smirked

Before she could take one step towards him Angelina crashed through the window. Mina hissed at her but quickly left the room when Angelina shot at her. The guards went to attack her but they were tackled down by two of the new breed walkers.

"I wish you guys came sooner." Jesse said as he went to pick up Lori's baby and wrapped her up in a blanket.

Angelina saw Lori on the floor and cruse underneath her breath.

"We can't leave her here." Jesse said

"Don't worry I got it." She said

She took the sheets off the bed and wrapped it around Lori's body. Angelina did her best to not breath in the blood as she carried her over shoulder.

"Where's Vlad and Morgan?"

"Who do you think is making all that noise downstairs." Angelina said "Rick, Daryl and T-dog are outside waiting for us."

.

Alice heard the fighting upstairs but she was a little occupied right now as she was pushing.

"God damn it! I forgot how fucking painful this was!" She screamed

"It's okay Alice you're doing great." Eileen said "Come on, one more push."

She took a deep breath and started pushing again.

"Doing good dear, I can see the head." Hershel said

"Okay, one more push Sweetie one more." Eileen said

She pushed again and every noise in the room was blocked out as she heard the crying of her baby.

"It's a boy." Hershel smiled

"D.J." Alice smiled

Hershel cut the umbilical cord and gave Eileen the baby to clean the blood off of him and wrapped him up in a blanket.

"Eileen, I can see him please." Alice said

Eileen hurried over towards her and the moment she placed D.J in Alice's arms he stopped crying.

"He looks so much like Vlad." Alice smiled

But sadly the moment didn't last when the old man came in and D.J started crying again. Eileen tried to stab the man with the scissors but he blocked her and tossed her to the side. Hershel tried to grab something to help but he was thrown to the side as well.

"No, no please don't! Don't come near my baby!" Alice cried

The man just smirked and took D.J away from her. She tried to stop him but she was still chain to the bed.

"Vlad! Vlad hurry! He has our son!" She yelled

Vlad heard his mate call and teleported down to her.

"Did they hurt you, love?" He asked as he unchained her

"I'm fine, but he has D.J. Please hurry." She cried

After making sure she was alright he followed the scent of his son and a scent that was too familiar. In another room the man placed D.J on an altar that was under a hole where the moon was showing. Once the candles were lit he started to do a chant in an unknown language. As he was still chanting he lifted a dagger and went to cut his hand until Vlad burst through the door.

"It's been a long time my first son. Son of the Devil. Vlad Dracula the Impaler." The man said

"How is it that your still alive…Caligula." Vlad growled
