Chapter 2
"So we're here in his statue." Will said. Tesla told Magnus to wait for him in his statue an hour after their arrival. Will doesn't really want to see Tesla but it can't be help as if Will has any choice with Magnus around.
"How was the trip? I hope the two of you find Croatia to be amusing." They heard a voice from behind.
"Nikola, what is this abnormal you're talking about?" Magnus said with the usual firmness on her voice.
"On with the pressing matters too soon? Have you not missed me?" Tesla said with his usual flirting antics.
"Oh please, don't make me hurl." Will said now that he found out that Magnus is his mother and Tesla is his father he found it more disgusting that Tesla is flirting with Magnus not that he doesn't feel that every time Tesla is flirting with her mother. He just doesn't have the authority before to react to Tesla's flirting. I mean the two of them together? It really gives him the creeps.
"Oh shush, Jr." Tesla said, annoyed.
"Don't call me that." Will said annoyed.
"So Nikola, what is this abnormal you're talking about?" Magnus asked.
"A phantom that lurks to the night, an abomination to God and to mankind" Tesla said.
"Are you talking about Frankenstein?" Magnus asked.
"Whoa! What the heck, Frankenstein?" Will said, surprise. "Frankenstein is real?"
"Oh, he is very much real and apparently alive." Magnus said quite disturbed.
"Isn't that just in Mary Shelley's imagination? I mean the guy is with stitches and he rose from the dead." Will said still cannot believe of what he heard.
"We encountered him ones in Italy, he killed two men and five young ladies after they saw his face. Your mother nearly died because of him. We read in Mary Shelley's unknown journal that he ones encountered this beast when he was just a young lady who fall madly in love with her and decided to kidnap her and she used this feelings as means to manipulate him in setting her free." Tesla said.
"Okay, that is definitely not the version that I heard of." Will said still shocked.
"What is Frankenstein up to this time?" Magnus said.
"I don't know but whatever it is his up to. I'm pretty sure it is something that has to do with non-correctable face. He already killed of three plastic surgeons." Tesla said.
"Well when this plastic surgeons probably failed in arranging his face his social anxiety disorder and dissociative disorder kicked in, caused by his being sewed up and feared upon, out of frustration of not being accepted by the society and also feared upon of people seeing him." Will said assessing the man he thought to be pure fiction.
"Well done, William." Tesla said sarcastically clapping his hands.
He just looked at him with annoyance.
"I assume you know where we should look first?" Magnus asked Tesla.
"Yes, I do but we have to wait until midnight." Tesla said. "So where are you staying? Would you care to join me at my home?" Looking at Magnus with that flirty smug on his face
"We have hotel reservations, Nikola." Magnus said. "That will be waiting for us."
"Yeah, plus I'm exhausted from the flight." Will said really tired.
"Okay then, I was just hoping you would want to come live with me for a while. I'll be waiting for you here at around 12:00." Tesla said.
"Until then, Nikola." Magnus said with that cheeky smile of hers.
"Do you think I should grow back my mustache?" Tesla said before Helen leave.
"I don't know I think you're better off without that annoying mustache of yours." Helen said.
Will just watched the two of them, How can he be related to this two? He just shook his head.
"But I liked that mustache." Nikola said still looking at his statue.
"You look older with a mustache on." Will said before the leave the vampire alone with his statue.
