Danny cautiously approached the building.

Ok...Any sign of our friend the Count, and I'm pulling the fire alarm.

Danny saw Sam waiting for him by his locker.

"Hey Sam. Did...you..err...sleep at all last night?"

"Not a wink," she said with a big yawn. "Did you find any more information about the Count?"

"I tried to, but all the websites were saying the same thing..." he said operating he locker combination. "Hey, why do you think that Dracula can transform into that giant bat thing now? What happened to the small, harmless rodent he was in the Middle ages?"

Sam pondered for a moment. "Maybe...It got some sort of...power-boost or something?" She guessed.

Danny opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out. All he could do was stare at what was behind Sam.

"S-...Sam," Danny gasped, pointing behind her.

"The monster just appeared right behind me, didn't it?" Sam said blankly.

"SAM!" Danny tackled Sam away from the creatures snarling jaws. He pulled the fire alarm, and transformed into Danny Phantom in the bathroom.

I have to get it out of the school before it hurts someone...or worse, bites them. Danny shivered.

"Hey big guy, catch me if you can!" Danny shouted, bursting through the front doors.

The beast targeted Danny with its radar-like eyes, and charged after him, taking the door with it.

I need to isolate this guy before I try to fight it...The forest! No one ever goes there!

Danny zoomed at breakneck speed towards the woods, with the vampire hot on his tail. It was an extremely fast flier, considering its size.

Danny finally made it to the woods.

"Alright, Ectoplasm doesn't work either, huh?" Danny knew he would have to use his secret weapon to have any hope of defeating the beast.

Danny wound up, gathered his strength, and yelled as loud as he could, unleashing his ghostly wail.

The howl seemed to catch the vampire off guard. It pushed it back and slammed it into a tree. But the ghostly wail was still no match for the beast.

Danny immediately lost his ghost form after using his wail. He was exhausted.

The creature approached Danny, and grinned the most evil grin one could ever imagine.

Suddenly, the beasts form began to melt away, and look more human. Its wings became arms, and fangs became teeth...

Within minutes, a human figure was standing before Danny.

But it wasn't Count Dracula.

"...You...After all this time..." Danny finally choked out.

"There's a lot you don't know about me."

Danny's mind was overflowing with questions.

"How...You...I..." Danny tailed off. He was too much in a state of shock to say anything.

"Surprised, aren't you? Well, I suppose you would be. How else would you figure out?"

Suddenly, the person began to melt back into the horrible, bat creature. Danny's adrenaline rush gave him the strength to go ghost, but nothing else.

The beast smiled, and scooped Danny up onto its back. Danny did his best to resist, but he was simply too weak to put up a fight.

To Danny's surprise, the Vampire brought him back to his house and set him on the front steps...

"Oh, and just one parting gift," the creature said.

It took Danny in its mouth and sank its teeth into Danny's neck, just enough to break the skin.

Danny had never felt such excruciating pain in his life. Green, ecto-goo gushed all over his chest. His neck burned with the strength of 1000 scalding irons.

And the monster flew away.

Danny lost his ghost form. He lay helplessly on his front steps, and waited.

After a minute, Jazz came running out the door to go to school. When she saw Danny spawned on the front porch, she dropped her books everywhere and knelt next to Danny.

"Danny? Danny, oh my god, Danny, can you hear me? What's happened? Whose don this to you!" she shot out panicking.

"...V-Vlad...M-Masters..." was all Danny could choke out before passing out
