54. Drake's History

But, you can have therapy for depression," Theodora added. "I'll talk to Jease, he'll know what to do."

Evanora smiled to her. "Thank you... But, it is somethimes hard to fight against it..." Evanora nussled Jelenora. "I thank you sisther... I thank you for everything..." Evanora answered as a smile came across her lips and a tear rolled down her cheek.

Theodora left the room and went to find Jease. "He'll know what to do, I'm sure of it."

Suddenly she bumped into Oscar. "Theodora, we broke the promise we made Elphie, we promised her to celebrate her 1e B-day within a week by Annie... But now we can't go back for a while, since the Tornado just brough us back..." Oscar said.

"Oscar, I'm sorry, but you were deathly ill!" "We had to come back!" "We can still celebrate here, though."

"I know, but we broke our promise..." Oscar sad saddenly, that was the moment the Drake bumped in. "Hello, My king and my Queen..." He said as he bow. "I am sorry, I don't want to look rude, I jusssst want to met Jelenora assss well, since I already met Elphaba..." He looked to both of them. "Are you two okay with that?"

"Of course we are," Theodora replied. "Drake, you are a dear friend of ours." "Now the Wizard can be as well."

Again he bow for them. "Thank you..." He hissed in a politely way. Even though Drake looked creepy, he behaved himself always very good. Drake walked inside the room. "Hello Misss Evanora, How are you doing?"

"Oscar, calm down, Drake is harmless!" Theodora scolded. They walked in to see Drake talking to Evanora. "Oh Drake, it is so good to see you," Evanora commented. "I'm feeling better, I just need to go through my own therapy." "I'm glad to see you are now yourself," Drake added. "If you'll excuse me, I must leave." Drake then walked out of the room and down thr corridor.

"I never said anything about him Theod"ra... Vampires are very politely..." Oscar answered. "I only saw a flash of light in Jelenora's eyes when she looked into Drake's eyes... Why did he had to leave?"

"I know, Oscar, lets both talk to Jease, he'll know how to treat the condition."

"Alright..." Oscar said as Theodora and he left the room, they found Jease taking to Frank, Finley and Julie.

"Jease, I need your help." "Evanora needs therapy, Momba may be able to help her," Theodora stated. "Theodora, you may be right," Jease replied. "I know that we're taking a risk." "It may be worth it," Theodora finished.

"You must know, that she doesn't like it when people take Jelenora..." Glinda said who walked inside the room, suddenly Oscar gasped, and growled as he had a few visions again.

"Oscar, what's wrong?!" Theodora asked. "Are you seeing another vision?" "What is this one about?"

Oscar blinked his eyes a few times before he started talking. "I see another Wicked Witch... Mombi's sisther... Or something like that... Is Mombi related to any of you? But on that one, later fell an house... Afcours she is in a bed mood than, someone dropped a house on her sisther... Then I saw Jelenora..." Suddenly Glinda worried interupted. "What happend to her? Nothing bads did happend to my poor little girl, I don't hope so!" Oscar smiled. "I am not sure if it is a good or a bad thing... I saw Drake early this day, a flash of light in both, Jelenora and Drake's eyes, soon afther that, Drake left the room. Now I see them together, later, but for some reason, Drake doesn't like to be around her, but same he tries to protect her. Years later Elphaba and Jelenora went studying, Jelenora, was many times called Galinda there, apart from her niece Elphaba, and Elphaba... Jelenora, called her Elphie, but for some reason also Ozma. The other people moostly named Elphaba, Ann or just Elphaba. Both of them fell in love with a boy, but later Elphaba was the one who had him... I am not sure about his name though, something with a F... Galin... I mean Jelenora, later came somethimes back, and spent time with Drake, I am not sure why... I also see a Zombie Kingdom, with a zombie king. A weerwolve kingdom... Or Lycans... A fairly kingdom, with a kinds of fairly's and a vampire kingdom... But afcours, we are the bosses of Oz..." Oscar statted.

"Oh my heavens!" Theodora remarked. "That's a mouthful!" "Do you mean Momba and Mombi?" "They are sisters and our distant cousins."

"I guesh so..." Oscar grinned as he put his hand behind his neck. "Did something bads happend in Drake's past? Since... He is very silence and doesn't want Jelenora to get hurt, same time he doesn't want to be together with her, just to protect her..."

"Drake is 600 years older than Jelenora, I'm sure that he is just being a good guardian to her, like we all want to be," Theodora commented. "The werewolves and vampires have a long past, that's all we know."

"Did you ever hear of the stories in our world about vampires?" Oscar asked. Theodora shocked her head. "Afcours not..." Theodora answered. "Good, then I'll tell you some of it, apart from the Dracula books, there was also another very popular vampire book called "Dream Night", It's about a vampire called Marcus, there are like more then 10 books of this collection, and all of them have atleast got 700 pages, some even 1000, Marcus had a long past which was explained in the first 7 books, afther that, we are 1000 years in the future, in the year 1897, there he mets a girl called Samantha, just like Drake a flash of the light came in both of their eyes by their first meeting, it was love at the first sign. But he wanted to protect this girl, even though he didn't want to hurt here, that was why he always ran away from her... One day at night time, the 22 year old girl walked to the 1000 year old vampire, she wanted to know him better, and they slowly became friends. Marcus protected her from everything, the darkness, dead, sadness, etc, and he was like a brother to her, later they fell in love at each other, deeply, and still Marcus tried not to drink her blood, he wanted her to have a mortal life, not that she ended up like the monster he was, that he had became. And because he fell to old for her... But this girl, it reminded him so much of the person he first loved in the past, and that girl got killed, and died in his arms, in the end he did bite her. Just because he didn't want to loose her as well, same time he kept protecting her, and then he had a daughter, which he named Lucia, he tried to protect his family as much as he could, untill it became his own dead... The last book was a book, more focussed on Samantha and Lucia's lives... Samantha didn't die long afther Marcus died, and Lucia, who knowes what happend to her. She still lived but afther she turned 112, nothing more was writhen about her..." Oscar told.

"That is unbelievable!" Theodora screamed. "Drake is not like that at all!" "Oscar, you'll have to get to know him."

"Not like what? What do you mean?" Oscar smirked as he kissed her brightly on the forhead, his ruby ring glowing in her hair.

"I just meant that you should get to know Drake, understand him better."

Oscar nodded. "Maybe I can try to find out more about his past.. Since he doesn't talk much..." Theodora nodded, Oscar searched for Drake untill he found him in the dungeon of the castle, he sat in front of an kind of window, his eyes starring outside, he sat many times like that, sadness, anger?

"Yes, your excellency, what can I do for you," Drake addressed.

"Your such a politely man..." Oscar answered, a small smile came across Drake's lips. "I am not the man who is aksing here the questions, moost of the times vampires behave very politely, although, this place makes me thirsty.. I need some blood, soon..." Drake answered, Oscar stood besides him as he smiled, his glittering, same time creepy dress took his attention, and then don't forget the cross on his chest. "I though vampires, can't stand crosses..." Oscar said. "Maybe were you come from, but here, the vampires love to wear them, it makes them feel whole, like they still have a heart." Drake answered. "May I ask you something, Majesty?" By every "s" he spoke, he hissed kinda. "Afcours, tell me..." Oscar answered. "Thank you... What are the vampires in your world like?" He said, Oscar chuckled a little. "We don't really have... Real vampires, we more have fantasy vampires, in books, although I do remember one that might be a real one... His name was Dracula, so far I know, he went at the nighttime to villages and city's to murder every woman, man and child... I am sorry that I called you Dracula, you are not like him..." Oscar smirked, the happiness in Drake's eyes immediatly turned into sadness. "You don't know me enough to say that... I am the leader of the vampires, and yes... I have changed from who I once was, but my life wasen't as great as that of yours might have been... It was acctualy a very dramatic one... That is why I am more the silence type... I don't like talking about it... It was very dramatic... And it is my fault that more then 1000ths of innocent people lie now under the ground in their graves... Lucky I only try to drink animal blood now, I am not anymore like the other vampires who work for me, or are the same race like me... I have losed, my biggest love, because of vampire hunters... There is someone who I try to protect from that..." Oscar chuckled. "I guesh I know who..." Drake could probably read his mind because he nodded in a way that he was right. "Yes... It is her... And that doesn't happen very often..." Oscar looked up to him. "My life wasen't as great as you though, I losed my whole family and worked allone at a Fun-Fair at the age of 16... I tried to love many woman and break their hearts afther that... And I saw many people die in front of me..." Drake looked up to him. "Oh dear, I am sorry to hear that.. That sounds horrible, lucky you have found Theodora and Ann-Elphaba now, they really have changed you from who you once was..." Oscar smirked. "Yes Drake... And... Now I would like to know more about your past... If that's okay..." A tear slipped down Drake's cheeks, which left a red scar, just like Theodora, Ann and himself, was he allergic for water, maybe that was what the vampires were here as well. "I never told my past to anyone... And I try not to think about it, still I am drawn for life and every second of my day reminds me about it and then I see the thousands of innocent people I killed in front of me... Looking in my eyes... I am a monster Wonderful, Wizard... Oh Great And Powerful Oz... I can still remember... Her face when she died right in my arms... Her beautiful red eyes turned into the blue ones they once were... Okay... I'll tell you my sad past..." Oscar nodded, as Drake started talking.

Drake told Oscar his past, and Oscar listened intently.

"Okay, it all started the day I was born, my mother died giving birth to me, which was the reason that my father repudiated, I was found by a couple of humans, a woman and a man, their names were Carolyn and Evad. They took care of me as their own untill I was a 12 year old boy, the people around town bullied me because they though I was weird, I loved to do my hair always neat and my clothes were always perfect ordered, later sign... Later I all payed them back by killing them. But whatever, one day they bullied me even so badly that they throw me in an old well, my dad jumped lunky afther me and saved me. The same day my mother, Carolyn died of a sickness, I was so sad that I run into the woods and kept crying and crying for hours, than I sat under a beautiful blossom tree, and a girl walked up to me, she was picking some flowers, but even though I usely looked scared to the other kids, she started talking to me, she was... Oh so beautiful, her name was Eleera. She had beautiful, light blonde hairs and brown eyes, just like Glinda and Jelenora kind of, and she weared a beautiful black dress, my pale skin fellt so warm when I was by her. And she started talking to me and slowly we became friends. One day, when I was a 20 years old man, I run away from the bully's, out in scare, that they were going to hurt me again and so I stumbled and fell in an old ravine, I fell and I fell, untill I hit the ground with a huge smack, I though I was dead, since I fell all my bones were broken and all the blood dripped out of my body, that was the moment that it happend, the twilight started and the moon came up, slowly the moonlight stroke on me and an dark creature sat next to me, she bit me in the neck and than she left. Slowly I fell my power come back again, but I screamed out in the pain, the burning pain that came through my whole body, I never fell such a pain before, it was like all my blood was burning and afther that I spitted it all out, it slowly came to my heart which froze, I still remember that horrible pain..." Drake shuddered. "Than I looked up to the nightsky as I stood up, suddenly all the pain was gone, that was the moment that I released which monster I had become, a new non excisted monster, I was the first vampire ever excisted and afcours, like every newborn vampire, I wanted nothing else, then pure blood, so that was when I run back to the city, and in one night I killed almost the half of the town, all the bullies, who killed me, I didn't want to be turned into this hidiouse monster, I never wanted... I... I even killed my own father... Who loved me so much... The poor man, Evad... But I couldn't stop that thirst that was why I run town afther town to kill people and slowly I turned into the worst fear of everyone, But Eleera, I never hurted her, she truly understood me... And one day, she asked me to bite her... But I never wanted to, because I though I was going to kill her, but then she came up with "what if you bite me in the neck and try spitting your saliva in it", and so I tried, and for some reason, that was when she turned into a vampire as well, we even met weerwolves and became their best friends, and I bited more people by turning them, so they stood by my site... What I didn't know was that my best friend, the leader of the wolves... Vladimir... I though he was my friend... Informed the vampire hunters about me. And so we fought that day with the vampire hunters, Eleera and I, side by side, we were lovers, and even married, but at the moment that it became to much I told her, "Go honey, go away, go to our secret place, there it is safe... I'll handle this..." but then... I heard a scream... And than..." Drake's eyes started to tear up. "I came there and she was stoken through the heart with a wooden stake... I killed the man who did it... And then... My Eleera died in my arms... That is the reason why I don't want ever to fall in love again... I am to scared that I bring her into danger than as well..." He answered.

Theodora overheard the story and walked in the room. "Drake, don't worry, you won't hurt anyone." "You are just getting used to people again," she comforted.

Drake looked up to her. "I just try to forget my past moost of the time Theodora... I mean... I am absolutely one of the eldest people around here in Oz... I am afther all 700... I mean... Look at me my queen..." Drake pointed to himself. "Since when do man, whear glittering dresses, with crosses, and all those kind of things... I look horrifying..." He answered, than he looked to a small, handmade book that he got out of his pocket. "This is The Book Of Vampire Rules... With a special pencil you can change the rules, only 1 time... And afther that never again... But if you change them they can really happen... The Lycans changed some of them, since they stole it a few times... Like those 3 importand rules, the changed that vampires could swim... To that vampires burn if they swim... Or that vampire males were able to bare children insteed of female, that was why Eleera and I never though of having children, since it might become dangerous for us... Aren't that just crazy changes Theodora? Afther all it's hard for me to stay around human, afther all I did to them..." Drake answered, as he kept hidding the tears forming in the cornors of his eyes.
