" My lord we are about to approach JFK airport and there we shall take our next flight to Pittsburgh." Said Henry who was Dracula's personal body. Although Dracula didn't need one he needed to play the part for he was now one of many Senators of Romania. Senator Vlad Dracul was what he went by for the past 5 years as he grew hungry for being just more than the king of vampires. He felt he could better sway his agenda better through the politics that governs modern society. He had long gotten rid of clothes of nobility clad n black to now wearing a grey dress shirt with a maroon tie. Of course he still wore black for his pants and jacket were just that, some habits were just hard to break. He sat in his private jet and looked out the window down at the earth below. Everything including the buildings and people looked like ants , although it fascinated him he didn't just come for the view. At last in the nine years of searching his private investigators he had working for him believed they found Astrid and his children. Thoughts upon thoughts ran through his head. What did they look like? Their names? And Had Astrid poisoned them against him? He would soon find out as one of his hired investigators approached him.

The 6'3 foot man bowed down before Dracula, he constantly wore sunglasses and wore attire of white dress shirt and black dress pants. Nathan smoothed his blonde hair with his hand away from his face before handing Dracula a vanilla folder. " I trust my lord you will be happy with my findings." Dracula snatched the folder out of Nathan's hands and eagerly flipped through the contents. Several pictures were inside the folder one of Astrid at a park with two little boys. His sons looked so much like him he thought, he was almost at loss for words as he stared endlessly at the photos. The eyes and hair of their mothers but their lips, cheek bones and nose all his. Astrid still looked beautiful as he had remembered she hadn't changed a bit. She was smiling in this picture and it saddened him for the slightest second that he never saw her smile while she was with him. He looked at the documentation past the photos. She resided in Ohio and was full time receptionist for a local doctors office. Her new name was Holly Vasile. " Holly Vasile" said Dracula under his breath but almost flung the folder at Nathan when he saw his children's names. " Alexander and Elliot Vasile !" shouted Dracula

He was fuming , his eyes were of lightest blue and his fangs were now elongated. " That wench named my son's after that imbecile! How dare she! Hand me my phone I'm calling her right this instant!" Henry went to fetch Dracula's phone from his suitcase. " My lord I don't feel that is best , if you call her she will know you are coming and run." Said Nathan. "Nonsense I just want to hear her voice to clear any doubts that cloud my mind." Henry handed Dracula the phone and he started typing in the number on the document before him.

It was three am and Astrid was sound asleep as her phone started to go off. " What the hell! Who could be calling at this hour?" she said herself before answering the phone. It was a number she didn't not recognize, but half asleep she answered it anyway. " Hello?".

Dracula sat there silently as he heard Astrid's voice. It was indeed her, he wanted to say so much, but felt tongue tied in that very moment. His anger he felt moments ago seemed to melt away as he sat there.

" Hello hello anyone there?" said Astrid annoyed an weirded out at this point for all she could hear was silence. "Alright you had a good laugh now piss off will you!" said Astrid before ending the call. Damn telemarketers she thought cause who ever had this phone number before her had numerous of people calling her asking for a Stephen brown. She didn't even know who this Stephen brown was , but she didn't like him already. Astrid luckily found herself dozing back off into sleep. Hopefully the boys would let her sleep in.

Dracula laughed to himself as the phone call ended. Same old Astrid feisty and stubborn as can be still. The plane shook as it hit the platform before coming slowly to a halt. Henry reached above Dracula gathering his luggage before going first down the flight of stairs leading off the plane onto the tarmac. " How much longer do we have till we get to the hotel Nathan?" asked Dracula. "Soon my lord we got an hour and half flight left before we can finally rest. It will be a nonstop flight this time. ". "Very good, please look to it that our next flight is ready." Said Dracula

Astrid woke up abruptly as she felt cold slimy like string being sprayed all over her. The boys were spraying her with silly string and laughing hysterically as they did. " What the hell!" Alex was holding his stomach from laughing so hard and Elliot was smart enough to make a run for it. " Out of my room now!" shouted Astrid before she flung pillows at them. The boys were too much sometimes, yes they could be well mannered at times, but defiant as well. Life as a single parent was a job of its own and on top of that holding 40 hours at a job she didn't care for much. Her job at the museum was already filled when she was absent all those months being abducted by Dracula. She was still feeling nine years later feeling the repercussions of those long six months in captivity. The string was stuck to her hair and all over her bed. Nothing a quick hot shower couldn't fix she thought, maybe the hot shower would calm her down enough to not punish the boys too harshly. Her cell was going off again before she walk out of her bedroom. Looking at caller ID she saw it was Chase so she answered it immediately. " Hello love!" " Hey beautiful was just checking to see what time the kids game was today, wanted to be there to support them." Said Chase. " it is at 2pm , I'll bring a fold up chair for you to come join, I miss you by the way haven't seen you in what seems forever." She could hear Chase laughing on the other end of the phone as she went to sit back on the bed. " I just saw you last weekend, you know you might as well move me in already." Said Chase. " You know how I feel about that it is too soon." Alex and Elliot ran down the hallway making their way back to Mom's room." Chase give me some more time and for the boys to get more comfortable." Before Astrid could open her mouth again Alex and Elliot had now reloaded and unleased more silly string upon their mother sitting on the couch. Astrid sat there in shock with her mouth now wide open. " Chase I have to let you now, I'll see you later." She abruptly before ending the call and threw the phone on the bed. Alex and Elliot had that look on their faces that they were dead meat and ran off out of sight. " Boys you have on the count to three to get your butts back here right now!" Astrid wiped the remaining of green and blue silly string from her face. Some of it managed to get into her mouth. Little devils they were being at this very instant ,not how she imagined starting her morning.

" Alex , Elliot do you hear me get back here Now!" She could hear them giggling almost egging her on to unleash a whopping on both of their butts. Walking out of her bedroom to the top the stairs she saw them hiding under the glass dinner room table. " Guess what my little Gremlins I'm getting a shower and I'm going to pretend this didn't happen. If you two so put another toe out of line, you both Will be grounded from mine craft for a week!" shouted Astrid from top of the stairs. Their giggling abruptly stopped as they watched their mother turn away and head off into the bathroom.
