Chapter 8:

Not everything is, as it seems

An: I'm on a roll! Your reviews have inspired me greatly! Thank you. ^_____^

(Girir)

Anubis was sitting in his favorite spot, underneath an old oak tree. It was a slow day and the incarnation of death and life was happy about that. Anubis had spoken to soon for just at that moment he sensed something. Something was horribly wrong and he had a good idea where it was coming form.

"I SAID NO!!!!" Sym yelled at the satyr.

"I don't have to listen to you!" Andy yelled back.

"Andy please go back to Nana." D told Andy.

"No way!"

"Listen you! We don't know what's going to be in there. Were only thinking of your safety." Sym told him.

"Look DAMPIRES I'm coming with you!" Andy said as he jumped into the rowboat.

D remained silent and got into the boat followed by Sym.

"You want to come fine!" Sym shouted not wanting to put up with the satyr. The younger dampire then tossed the rowboat's oars at Andy. "Start rowing."

Andy took the oars and began to row. "Lousy dampire can't do nothing for them selves!" Andy mumbled.

After a short row D, Sym and Andy were on the inland of Lost Fear.

"Well this is definitely not what I expected." Sym said looking around the island.

The island of Lost Fear was more like a paradise then anything to be afraid of. It had lush tropical plants and exotic animals. The mansion it self was beautiful with its coat of little blue paint.

"Wow this place is beautiful!" Andy said looking around.

The peaceful atmosphere was suddenly disturbed as D cut down a tree that was in their way.

" Not everything is at it seems. Even things that you think are peaceful and beautiful Andy, can be very deadly." D told the satyr

(Elsewhere)

"YOU STUPID PIXIE!" A woman yelled at her servant.

"But …but the description! It could be no one else but him!" The pixie tried to reason with her mistress.

"FOOL! YOU DID NOT STAY FOR THE COLOR OF HIS EYES!" The woman continued to yell at her servant.

"But…but…"

"SILENCE! YOU HAVE FAILED ME!" The woman's face became calm not a bit of anger show. She waved her hand. "Revert!"

The pixie let out a scream as she turned back into her original form, a small pixie figure. The master of the pixie then smashed the figure on the floor.

Just then the woman heard her 'guest' wakening up. She walked in to the other room where he sat. Her guest looked much different then what he looked like when he had come in. His long brown hair was done up in a braid. A dragon pendent ran through the braid. Upon his head was a beautiful crown. His clothing had also changed. The simple black cotton clothing had changed to being made out of silk and being yellow in color with a dragon pattern on it. The bat earring that usually dangled from his right ear was gone. His black leather boots replaced with black slippers.

The guest's tired brown eyes opened to meet ones of steel blue. He tried to get up but found that he was tied down to a chair. No it was not a chair but a throne.

"I must say that you are much more handsome then who I had in mind." The woman in front of him said as she stroked his right check.

"O and who did you have in mind." He said angrily.

"Why the vampire hunter D of course." She said with a smile.

The man growled at her his brown eyes turning red. Just then he felt like something was eating through his skin, it was the ropes that tied him to the throne.

"These ropes are special made. The more you use those vampire powers of yours the more pain you'll feel." She told him. Indeed he was in a lot of pain but he had felt worst. He sighed and his glowing red eyes returned to there brown hue.

"That's a good boy." She told him.

"What do you want with me?" he asked knowing that he would not like the answer.

"Well King Dracula how would like to be an Emperor?" The Empress of the Sleeping Gardens asked the king of vampires.

Dracula eyes grew wide; did this woman ask his son the same question?

Xie smiled at him. "I asked D the same question and he refused. No one refuses me! You know you two look so much a like. You must be related, hmm. Well D's eyes are much more beautiful. While you on the other hand my future husband have a beauty all your own. You might say it very unearthly."

Dracula spat in her face. Xie wiped it off her cheek. The empress then smacked the king of the night with the back of her hand. Her rings cutting into his skin leaving trails of blood down his pale skin.

" I always get what I want. And if I can't have D then I can have you. " Xie told him as she took his chin in her hand and crushed her lips to his.

Pure white eyes looked out from the darkness. He and his brother would not see this man ruined by their mother, like how their father was.

"Ouch!" Xie cried. Dracula had bit her lip. Not enough to draw blood, but enough to get the woman off of him.

"You will be my husband!" She yelled at him as she left.

Dracula sighed. "You two can come out now."

Janus came out from the shadows. The symbiotic twins came face to face with the smiling face of King Dracula.

(Inside the mansion)

"Haiku is that guy really your father?" Charlie asked his friend.

It had been great to see his old friend then. Well until Haiku had shot him with that tranquilizer gun that is. After some explanation every thing was cleared up and the two men were back to being friends.

"Yes and no." came the dragon/man's answer.

"What do you mean?" Pet asked.

"I'm a clone of Big R." Haiku told them.

" That's highly impossible. I mean I haven't seen that guy turn into a dragon yet." Charlie said crossing his arms.

"I've been genetically experimented on. To be his ultimate weapon. I escaped three years ago. When I saw Pet over there being attacked by Big R's men I had to intervene. Big R doesn't need to destroy any more lives." Haiku said rubbing his neck where the control collar was.

"I'm sorry." the weredampire apologize.

"That's all right." Haiku said with a smile.

"Think we'll be getting out of here soon?" Charlie asked his fellow prisoners.

Just then Big R burst into the room a remote control in his hands. He headed towered Haiku's cell. The gangster pushed a button on the remote and Haiku's eyes took on a dead look. Big R opened the cell and Haiku walked out.

"We have intruders! Take care off them."
