A World In Darkness

Chapter 2:
Observe and Defend

"My Lord."

"Test her strength. See how well she can protect herself."

"Of course my Lord."

"Take Arthur, Crowley and Ruthen with you. She's not to be harmed."

"And her people?"

"What about them?"

It was strangely cloudy that morning in Arendelle. Few of the towns people have stepped out of their homes and simply wandered about aimlessly, though many others had remained in their homes, still too frighten of the night before.

In the castle sat the others at the table for breakfast, though hardly anyone had eaten a thing with so many thoughts in their heads, they barely said a word at all. Elsa however, had kept hearing Josette's words repeat in her head over and over again. 'I will return Queen Elsa!' The thought itself had scared her knowing that the monster would be returning to Arendelle. Did that mean that she was going to kill another person? More than one? Elsa barely contained a shudder, she could feel the goosebumps growing on her arms. If and when that vampire returned, Elsa knew she would have to protect her people, they would rely solely on her and her powers. And if she was going to defend her people, then she would have to know more about this creature. Giving into her determination, Elsa quickly stood from the table and ran towards the library.

Elsa had burst into the library immediately going towards the books in search of something or anything with 'Vampire' on it.

"Elsa what's going on?" Anna walked in with Kristoff and Olaf. "You ran off so suddenly."

"I need you to help me to look for anything that has vampire on it." Elsa scanned book after book, climbing the latter she continued her search.

"What for?" Anna asked though she looked anyway with Kristoff who went a bit further to look.

"If that creature does come back, I want to be prepared about protecting the people. I don't want what happened to that man to ever happen again."

With that in mind, the three searched thoroughly not skipping over a single book and checked every bookshelf. Olaf helped too. "Hey guys? How do you spell vampire?" The curious snowman looked at the books that piled onto the tables, chairs and on the floor.

"Just look for the letter 'V'." Anna replied while looking over the pages of a book.

"Oh okay! What does a 'V' look like?" Although intelligent the snowman could be at times, it was clear that he did not know how to read or write. They had forgotten to teach him.

They had searched from early morning to mid-afternoon and they had found nothing on vampires. The three of them had collapsed onto the couches, feeling drained after searching for hours when they could find nothing at all not even anything that could possibly be related to it. Kristoff sighed as he closed the book he was looking through. All it had talked about was vikings and dragons in the their neighboring country of Denmark, but it proved to be no help as it did not contain anything on vampires. With a resigned sigh, Kristoff tossed the book with others however, it had crashed onto another pile which caused the books to tumble onto the wooden floor.

Elsa and Anna had not noticed but Kristoff heard a very hollow sound when the books landed. Catching the attention of the others, Kristoff kneeled on the floor and pushed the books aside, he tapped the floor. The girls had stared at him in confusion.

"Kristoff?"

"Can you hear that?" He looked at both women, this time knocking on the floor. The hollow sound was much louder this time. Kristoff stood up and shoved the carpet to the side. Their eyes widen when they noticed a door. Opening the door, they peered inside and noticed that it was completely dark below, Kristoff grabbed a lantern nearby and began going down the steps. Elsa followed behind him with Anna latched to her arm.

"How did we never notice this before?" Anna asked as they reached the bottom. "This place is so creepy." There were many old antiques covered in dust and cobwebs. They saw dusted pianos, tables and chairs, desks, books and mirrors. The three of them stopped in front drawer with a rather large mirror, on top of the drawer were old jewelry and books.

Kristoff lifted on of the necklaces. "Is this gold?" The necklace was so rusted that they couldn't tell. Glancing around the desk Elsa opened one of the drawers, there was a large jewelry box inside. Kristoff placed the lantern on the drawer and lifted the dusty box, wiping away the cobwebs he lifted the top open. Inside the box was only a small worn book, Elsa reached for it and wiped away the dust. She peeked into the book and looked at the pages.

"It's a journal, from-" Elsa looked at the date, it made her eyes widen. "From three hundred years ago."

Anna released Elsa's arm to latch onto Kristoff's. "What does it say?" Kristoff lifted the lantern and held it between them so that Elsa can read properly.

October 3, 15XX

We were attack today, by hideous monsters. It was midnight when they came, when we heard the screams of terror.
My family and I were curious to what were causing the screams so we left the castle and ventured out. What we saw
could not compare to the words I write. Those monsters were flying around snatching anyone that ran then flew into
the air.
I watched as the creatures bite the neck of man, a woman, and even a child. I watched them drop the villagers to ground,
unmoving, covered in blood and broken bones twisted at odd angles from the fall. They were dead. These monsters
moved fast, they were a blur and they blended well in the dark.
My family and I were sent back inside the castle but I caught a glimpse of one of them. Pale skin and large wings.

The three of them were silent for the moment, but then it registered to all of them that this person who had written in this journal had also written about the vampires. They quickly left the underground room back into the library. After telling Olaf to go keep Sven some company, the three of them had decided to continue reading in Elsa's private study where they would not be disturbed. When they sat close together, Elsa turned to another page and continued reading the neatly cursive writing.

October 8, 15XX

It was midnight when they had returned again. They had repeated what they had done a few days ago. they had
snatched away one villager, taken their lives and let their bodies drop. The smell of blood was everywhere.
My sister had run off in fright, I had chased after her. I managed to get her and drag her back towards the rest
of our family. We almost were taken. Without really looking at my surroundings I had fallen and brought my
sister with me. We were fortunate to have barely escaped with our lives, but when fire is our only light, I had
realized we had fallen over a body. We were covered in blood.
A loud voice rang throughout the kingdom, and the attacks had suddenly stopped at the command of one man.
In my fright I did not know what he was saying but when I had come to my senses I caught the last of his words.
"I am Dracula. A vampire." I know not what a vampire is, I had stopped listening to the frightening man as his
voice had sent shivers of fear through me. I had noticed a boy fly beside him. I had never seen someone with hair
white as snow.
They had left. Taking no more lives. Gone for now I just knew that they would return. The vampires.

October 9, 15XX

My Father, the King, wanted to capture a vampire and find out why they keep attacking the kingdom. It was clear
to me that my father wanted revenge on these beasts. To serve justice. They made plans to capture one.

"How horrible that this person went through this." Anna had a hand over her mouth. She could not fathom the thought of being near a dead body, let alone being covered in blood.

"It is sad," Elsa had taken a shaky breath. "But, we need to keep reading if we're going to find out anything to defend ourselves from them." They waited for a moment to compose themselves, then Elsa continued where they left off.

October 21, 15XX

The villagers had started to fight back. The vampires had attacked us four times this week. However, each day
was more tragic then the last. On the third day of the attack I lost my youngest sister. I was helpless on the
ground as I watched that horrible monster tear at my sister's neck, ripping apart her flesh and taking her blood.
She was dropped on the ground, her blood had splattered onto my face. I did nothing but stare at the lifeless
body of my beloved sister.
My father was furious. His rage scared me. Out of anger and sadness at the loss of my sister, my father had
beaten me for not doing anything to save her.
On the fourth day, we had finally captured a vampire. The creature was tied down. I had discovered that
vampires are incredibly strong. No man can match the beastly strength of one and yet when we all came
together to take just one, we had over powered it.
My father demanded answers from the beast but all the vampire did was laugh at his failed attempts. It had
occurred to me that this creature was intelligent, that they all might be. The vampire had been whipped.
These creatures can feel pain like we do, however, they heal in a matter of seconds. Not a single scar on or
a drop of blood as if it had never been whipped.
Throughout the rest of the night, the vampire had not spoken its secrets. When daybreak was just moments
away, the creature grew desperate in escaping. It had freed itself from the ropes and flew into the air.
The sun rose and for the first time we saw a vampire die before our eyes.
The sun had killed the vampire.

November 4, 15XX

I had lost more family members, a sister and two brothers. All younger then me.
We had captured another vampire, a younger one this time. This one was much more desperate to escape.
It had given us what we wanted just to be free. How to kill their kind.
Sunlight, like we had witnessed. A wooden stake to the heart. Silver in their system. They could be burnt
alive just like us humans. And the final way to kill a vampire is by tearing its head off.
The young Vampire did not go free like promise. It was burned alive.
It was about an hour when the screams had finally stopped.

December 16, 15XX

The vampires had ceased their attacks since then. No more deaths.

It was late afternoon when the entire town people were standing front of the castle, gathered by the orders of the Queen.

Everyone was still fearful that they could be attack at any moment by that vampire. The Queen had explained to them that she had discovered a way to beat the vampires. When everyone was eager to listen, they all began gathering supplies to defend themselves. Elsa had made more snowmen like Marshmellow and ordered them to spread around the town to protect the people.

When the sun had finally set, the entire kingdom was silent. The men stood guarding outside while the women and children stayed in closed doors. Elsa, Anna, and Kristoff peeked from the curtains, staring at every part of the sky where they could possibly see the vampire Josette.

Two hours into the night, they all heard the sounds of something falling heavily onto a house. It was the screams of women and children that had everyone else running around the town.

Josette was not alone this time, there were three others with her and each of them carried a person, tearing at their necks and taking their blood. The snowmen had begun attempting to stop the vampires. One of the male vampires had grabbed a snowman, lifting it into the air and threw it towards the ocean. Another snowman had landed a hit on another male vampire, sending him crashing to the ground making the concrete break under the pressure of the vampire's weight.

Elsa could no longer sit by as she watched her people defend themselves and die. She ran out of her castle and neared the female vampire.

Josette had noticed the queen running towards her. She reverted back to her human form, landing on top of a fountain. "Your Highness. I hoped to see you again, yet I did not think you would be so foolish enough to come to me."

The other three vampires landed on top of a roof also turning to their human forms. These men had red eyes.

"Is she the Queen?" A blonde haired vampire stared at Elsa. The other two had smirks on their faces.

They were going to taunt her, she just knew it. Elsa quickly started sending sharp ice at the three on the roof, they moved out of the way and began circling the queen. Elsa froze the water in the fountain quick enough to freeze Josette's foot. The vampire hissed in anger, she headed straight for the queen but Elsa had sent more ice her way, making the angry vampire fly off into a different direction to avoid being hit. The snowmen arrived beside their creator and began helping her strike the vampires away. While sending ice in the direction of the vampires, Elsa had managed to strike one in the shoulder.

The black haired male vampire hissed. He removed the ice from his shoulder and appeared right in front of Elsa. She gasped in surprise and fear as the creature before her growled, he struck her on the face causing her to fall backwards. Elsa got to her knees and placed a hand over her bruised cheek, she could taste blood in her mouth.

"Your blood smells delicious your Highness." He had a vicious smirk on his face as he neared the queen. "How about a taste." Elsa was to stunned to move as the man got closer to her, but then Marshmellow came to her aid and swatted the vampire into a book store.

"Idiot!" Josette yelled at her fallen comrade. "We are not to harm the Queen!"

"You were going to do so yourself when she encased your foot in ice!"

"Morons." The blonde haired vampire appeared before them. "We got what we wanted. The Master expects us back shortly, let's go before we make him angry." Just as the four of them were going to depart, Elsa had stopped them.

"Wait!" They stared down at her with hard gazes. She would admit that the sight of them like that terrified her but not out loud. "Your master, is he Dracula?" The four of them had surprised looks on their faces before they laughed loudly.

"Dracula no longer has rule over us. His son had over thrown him two hundred years ago." The brown haired vampire responded.

"What do you mean he over threw him?" Elsa questioned.

The blonde haired vampire rolled his red eyes. "He killed his own father and taken his thrown for himself."

"Why would anyone kill their own father?!" To kill the very man that had raised him only to killed by his child was horrible to comprehend.

"You obviously don't know a thing about vampires." The blonde once again rolled his eyes and took off to the skies, disappearing behind the clouds.

"Why do you attack us?" Elsa asked daringly at the remaining vampires.

Josette tilted her head and grinned at the Queen. "Our Lord is in need of a bride. And I do believe we just found him one." Laughing loudly as she spread her wings, Josette took off to the skies with the other two. "Until we meet again your Highness!"

Once more did Elsa watch her fly away into the sky, instead of taking just one life, they had taken several. It broke her heart that she failed to protect her people.

The people of Arendelle cried that night.

In a dark, candle lit castle sat a man in a thrown room, his hair white as snow and sharp blue eyes. The man's skin was pale, hardly any skin color to it. He wore nothing but black, with a white cravat around his neck. A smirk adorned his handsome features yet his eyes ignited fear into anyone, his sharp pointed teeth gleamed in the light shined brightly from the moon.

The Queen of Arendelle could hold her own against a fight, against regular humans that is. She was no match for any vampire, the four he sent simply toyed with her letting her think she had the upper hand in winning. She had quite the spirit going against four vampire all on her own, she was certainly strong for a human.

His smirk had widen at the thought of the queen. Oh how he would enjoy breaking her spirit and making her his. The rush of his blood flowing through his veins as he imagined what her blood could possibly taste. She had yet to be bitten, her blood was pure and untainted.

The man gripped the handle of his seat, cracking the wood. He couldn't wait to taste her warm blood in his mouth and make her completely submissive to him. Straightening himself, the man stood and walked out of the thrown room. The candles that lit his way on the walls were blown out as he passed by, encasing him in absolute darkness.

"Bring her to me."
