"...Danny! Danny, wake up!" Sam yelled slapping him in the face.

Danny was trembling uncontrollably. The earlier events kept playing back in his head...He just couldn't get over the long, tense eye contact he had with the creature. He thought it looked familiar, but couldn't quite put his finger on it...

"S-Sam? W-what's going on?" Danny murmured weakly. He observed his surroundings to find that he was propped up against the tree the vampire had pinned him on.

"Danny, thank god you're OK!" Sam said, embracing him. "It was horrible, Danny. I watched the whole thing from the woods...See, Tucker wanted me to get some more footage of the thing, so I brought my camcorder..."

She played back their whole battle. It was almost as painful watching it as it was to experience, Danny decided.

"Sam, pause it here," Danny said pointing to the miniature screen of the camcorder. It was the part where Danny and the Vampire had stared at each other.

"There...See, when that happened, I thought it reminded me of someone..."

"WHO? WHO DID IT REMIND YOU OF?" Sam said urgently.

"Geez Sam, I don't know," Danny glared at her. "What's your problem?"

"Oh, nothing," am said a little sheepishly. "Just curious."

Sam took Danny home to make sure he was OK. Danny went up to his room, even though he knew he wouldn't sleep.

He decided to try to get some more information about vampires in history. He logged onto AIM, and noticed that Sam was on.

GhostBoy64: Hey Sam. Can't sleep either, huh?

BeYourself82: Not after what just happened.

Danny thought that Sam and her Goth-ness might know some valuable information about Count Dracula and vampires in general, so he asked her about it.

GhostBoy64: Hey Sam, have you ever read or seen 'Count Dracula'?

It was a moment before Sam responded.

BeYourself82: Yes, I've done both. Count Dracula is about a creepy old man who lives in a Transylvanian castle in the 1800s. Some guests come to his house, and they notice that he sleeps in coffins, has no reflection, and can transform onto a bat.

GhostBoy64:Hmmmmmmmm...I'm going to do some research on our friend, the Vampire of Amity Park. Wish me luck.

And he logged off.

Danny wasn't sure what he thought he would find, but what he did shocked him.

Danny frantically scrolled down the page. Every site was saying the same thing...

GhostBoy64: Sam, are you still on? I found some more information about our vampire.

BeYourself82: What, what did you find?

GhostBoy64: Ok, listen to this:

Vampire sightings have been reported since the Middle Ages in parts of Eastern Europe, particularly in Transylvania. Witnesses described them as being tall, pale-skinned males with the ability to transform into a vampire bat. More recent sightings, however, indicate that vampires can be of any gender, appearance, or race. People in the Middle ages described the bat they transform into to be a small, harmless looking rodent. However, sightings later than the 1970s have suggested that Count Dracula, the most famous of all vampires, transforms into a giant, powerful bat-dragon creature.

Sam, I think this is it. The thing I'm fighting is Count Dracula form Transylvania!

BeYourself82: Danny...this is huge. How will we ever fight it? Dracula is an undead being! It can't be killed!
