-The Hidden Tales of the Brothers Grimm-

"Explain!" Will demanded. "All right, all right. First let me introduce myself: My name is Emil Marcellus I am the town's doctor. I assume you two are the Brothers Grimm." Emil sat down onto the nearest chair and motioned for Jake and Will to do likewise.

"I wrote to you asking for help, because I heard you two could banish any ghost, witch, or curse." "So what seems to be the particular problem?" Jake asked. He was sitting at a desk now. He took out his book of tales and had his pen and bottle of ink prepared. "Well…" Emil paused and looked at the floor "Its vampires." The woman from before stood in the doorway, arms crossed. Emil glanced at the woman and sighed. "Let me introduce to you my sister Camelia" "Now don't be introducing me to vampires!" she fumed, "I don't want to be the next one cursed!" With that, she returned to the kitchen.

"Oh I give up, my sister is so stubborn!" Emil crossed his arms and sulked into the chair. "Ahem, you were explaining why you sent for us" Will reminded him. "Oh yes, well… the town has been having some odd trouble lately. We have been experiencing some mysterious kidnappings and murders." "What makes them so mysterious?" Jake asked, making notes in his book.

" Its because when the bodies are found they are…bloodless." An awkward silence followed the comment. "When you say bloodless, do you mean as in they were without blood?" Will asked with a puzzled look on his face. "Yes! As in no blood! Not a drop!" "So, the blood was absent?" "Yes" "lacking blood?" "Yes! I've told you about five times already, No blood!" another silence followed this. "So they were…dead?" Jake asked.

" Of course they were dead!" Emil held his head in his hands, frustrated. "All because of those wretched vampires."

"So the vampires are believed to be the culprits?" Will inquired. "Yes." "What makes you suspect vampires?" Emil was silent as he struggled to say the answer. "Everyone who was murdered had fang marks on the side of their neck. Also the villagers claim that they've seen him." Will and Jake were at the edge of their seats. "Who is 'him'?" Emil looked at the brothers with a worried expression, "Count Dracula."

There was a shrill scream that made all of them jump. "What on Earth?" Jake asked, eyes wide with shock. Emil stood up straight " not another attack!" All of a sudden, the candles in the room went out and the fireplace was extinguished with a loud hissing sound. The room was dead silent, cloaked in darkness. Jake, who was nearest to the window, carefully opened the curtain in order to see the commotion. The window, which was now opened halfway, showed the town's courtyard draped in a faded moon glow that showed the faint traces of an approaching day. The room was full of an eerie sense of death as they all watched the window.

A cloaked figure appeared at the window frightening the group almost to the point of death. Jake shouted out, and tripped over a chair, onto a rather paralyzed Will. Just as soon as the figure appeared it was gone. Emil quickly ran outside to investigate.

Will realized that he was holding Jake's hand and promptly let go. Jake did not notice and instead got up off of Will and ran after Emil. As soon as he walked outside he stumbled across the furious brown haired sister. "You vampires have attacked the village for the last time! I want you out of my inn!" Jake backed away. "Now listen well! We were with your brother the whole time. If you don't believe me ask him!" Jake retorted.

Emil, who was done diagnosing the victim, put a hand on his sister's shoulder. "He's right they were with me the whole time. We even saw the monster walk in front of our window".

" Fine I'll believe that, but I still want proof that you are not Vampires" Camelia answered still troubled. " It'll be daylight soon, so you don't need to worry" Will said as he walked over to the group.

"Same cause of death doctor?" Will asked eager to change the subject." Sadly yes" Emil reluctantly replied. Camelia turned away from the body "Who was it this time?"

"The butcher Mr. Strauss" Emil shook his head. Jake stepped forward "Don't worry well get rid of this problem if it's the last thing we do".
