Chapter 12 Bram the Bandit
Jonathan woke up the next morning and found himself face to face to the still sound asleep Mavis. After the both forgiving each other, they fell asleep. Jonathan sat up and scanned the surroundings, the peaceful little cottage was as quiet as ever. Everything was silent, only the sound of burning wood was heard, coming from the kitchen. Macy walked out of the kitchen and towards Jonathan.
'You woke up?' Macy asked.
'Yeah...' Jonathan replied.
'Got stuff sorted out?' Macy asked again, glancing to the sound-asleep Mavis.
'Yeah, we did. Everything's fine anda we are back to normal again.'Jonathan smiled.
'Great! But now we have to think about other things. Your friends are still captured by Van Helsing and his men.'
'We need to think of a plan...'
'I know that Van Helsing and his men are already searching for us. When you two were asleep, I saw several Van Helsing's men in the woods nearby. I had to cast disruption spells to lead them away from this cottage.'
'Thanks Macy...' Jonathan replied. 'You do know a lot of spells. Like... some of them I don't even know vampires have those skills... For example that teleporting spell, I never saw anything like that!'
'Those spells are all invented by my grandfather... Hey! I got an idea! We should totally go and see my grandfather! You know what, if we are really going to fight Van Helsing and his men, we will have to find a way to deal with those silver bullets. I think my grandfather will be able to help!' Macy exclaimed.
'Cool! Van Helsing is not match for us if those silver bullets don't work!' Jonathon replied excitedly.
Macy and Jonathan spent the next hour planning and preparing for their trip. Mavis woke up a few minutes later and also helped them with the work. By noon, the trio had lunch and were ready to set off.
'Okay guys, hold my hands and I shall teleport in a sec.' Macy said and stuck out her hands to the couple, and both of them took it. Macy started murmuring in Romanian again at once and before Johnny and Mavis knew it, the three of them are already flying in the familiar tunnel, through the deep beautiful forest of Transylvania.
'The trip will be short.' Macy announced to Johnny and Mavis.'My grandfather lives in a secret underground mansion under the Bran Castle. He casted plenty of protection spells around the castle as well and we can only teleport to places near the castle, but not into it. We will have to buy tickets into the castle like any ordinary human. Therefore, we will have to travel on foot after the teleportation.'
'Ok!' Johnny approved.
In a matter of seconds, the trio landed safe and sound on the streets near the Bran Castle. They could see tourists around them, all wanted to enter the famous Bran Castle. The street beside the three went on to the hill in front of them, where the ancient Bran Castle stood. Jonathan, Mavis and Macy started walking up the hill, chatting on the way.
'So... who is your grandfather anyways. Why is he living in the Bran Castle?' Jonathan asked.
'My grandfather is Bram Stoker-' Macy replied, but got cut off by an astonished Johnny.
'What!? Bram Stoker!?' Johnny cried in surprise. 'You mean the guy that wrote Dracula!?'
'Yes.' Macy explained patiently.'My full name is Macy Stoker. My grandfather was called Bram the Bandit back in the days...'
'Bram the Bandit? Why is that?' Mavis questioned, puzzled.
'You obviously have no idea about your parents history.' Macy said.
'No. I never asked...'
'You know, back when your father had not been married. He was elected the Minister for Monsters, a post which is similar to the president of monsters or something like that.' Macy explained to the couple. 'My grandfather was a well-known philosopher at that time, but also a great thief that stole great works and writings that contained powerful powers and skills. He was known as Bram the Bandit and your father tried to catch him during his time as Minister.'
'Your father was a powerful and skillful vampire' Macy continued, as the three queued up for tickets to enter the castle. 'He caught my grandfather but failed to retrieve the stolen goods, which my grandfather hid nicely. Your father was furious and banished my grandfather from the monster world. His powers as a vampire was all removed, only this immortality remained. This punishment was so harsh that most monsters at that time questioned it and your father was forced off office, but receiving the nobility as a Count for his good deeds. My grandfather hid in the Bran Castle ever since and he wrote several human books at that time, which I think include that Dracula book that you mentioned earlier, Johnny. You know, my grandfather hated Dracula for catching him, so he described Dracula as a killing and blood-thirty real monster in his book.'
'Oh...' Mavis commented as she listened.' I never knew that...'
'That won't matter at all!' Macy comforted the young vampiress. 'My grandfather will surely find a way to help us through those wizardry books he stole when he was younger.'
As the trio was chatting and discussing, they already bought their tickets and thrusted into the castle grounds along with the human tourists crowds. Macy led the couple into an ancient-looking storehouse that stood at the foot of the hill, where the Bran Castle were.
After making sure that no ordinary humans were inside the storehouse, Macy approached a wooden wall in the storehouse and pressed her hand on to it, murmuring something in Romanian. Suddenly, the floor board next to Macy flipped open and revealed a dark, spooky staircase that leads deep underground. Macy signaled for entry and the couple strolled down the stairs, while Macy followed behind and closed the floor board behind her. At once, the torches on the walls of the tunnel lit up and a wooden door appeared at the end of the staircase. Macy walked down in front of the stunned couple and turned around.
'Here we are...'
