Hey guys! Sorry it has been a while since I last updated this, but I have been busy with soccer and school. So here is the next chapter. Read and Review.

The next night when Vlad awoke, he decided he should explore the castle some more. As he did this he tried using his new powers. He walked on the walls and ceiling. He would run extremely fast through the long halls without getting tired. He then knew that he was starting to like eternity more and more.

As he was touring his new home, he noticed that he had grown very hungry. He walked outside to see if he could find another way down the mountain. His search proved unsuccessful. He then thought that since he was dead, a drop from the top of the mountain would not hurt him, and he wanted to see how much pain he could handle. Since he could not die, he thought that there was nothing to lose.

Once he got to the edge, he took a deep breath, and as he did, he jumped. He half expected his plan to fail, but instead of hitting the ground he felt a sudden breeze and heard a loud flapping sound. He looked and noticed that he was flying. His body had changed into that of a beast that he had never seen before. It could only be described as something that came from the Devil's dominion.

He then swooped down and saw that his castle was on top of the giant mountain that was near his old home. He then swooped down at the village. He noticed that there were less people than usual out, but there were people there all the same. He dove down and let out a tremendous roar. He swooped and dived at people, causing chaos and making them scream in fear. By the time he was satisfied, he had killed three people.

Vlad then headed back to the castle. When he got back, the sun was just about to rise, and he went inside to rest.

Twenty-five years past, and Vlad's family had all died, but their descendants were still living, trying to find a way to kill Dracula. Vlad was starting to grow lonely in his big castle. He could only think about the love he had felt for Anastasia. He thought that he would never be able to find anyone who was as beautiful as her.

One night when Vlad was out for one of his usual night time flights, he decided that he would go for a walk through the village. The villagers had learned to not go out alone at night, at least most of them did.

He walked through the center of town and then noticed there was a woman at the well. She had long black hair that went down to her waist. She was rather tall for the girls in that area, but beautiful all the same. As he was starting to approach her, she turned around and he hid in the shadows, just out of the moon light. She kept looking in his direction. He was wondering if she could see him.

It was just another normal night for Verona, or at least she thought it was. She was at the well that was in the center of town, drawing water, when she noticed movement behind her. She turned around and looked but could see no one.

"Hello?" she called out hesitantly. She hadn't been in the town long, but had heard the villager's stories about a creature that came out at night and drain its victims of their blood. She and her family had just moved from Italy, hoping that the Romanian country side would be more comforting for them. That was a year ago and once they moved here, all of her family had died from either disease or old age.

"Is someone there?" but no reply came. Then she saw what looked like a dark figure in the shadows. The shadow looked like that of a man, but when she looked to see what his features were, all she saw was bright piercing blue eyes, and then the figure was gone. She looked around to see if anyone was around. She saw no one. She then decided that it was just her imagination, and went back inside of her house.

Little did she know that the figure she had seen was Dracula, who was now sitting of the roof of a house, watching her leave. He then waited until she was inside and there was nobody else around to see him. He then flew off to his castle.

Later that week, Dracula was sitting up in his castle, pacing along the ceiling as he usually did when he was thinking for long periods of time. He was noticing that despite the fact that he was an immortal, he was starting to grow lonely. His thoughts then went back to the dark haired girl who he had seen the other night. He thought to himself why not bring her to the castle and have her as his own.

As he was coming up with his plan, he noticed that the sun was starting to rise, he then retreated to his coffin and as he started to trail off into a deep sleep, he heard a voice that sounded familiar.

"So you want to have someone to talk to?" Vlad then realized that the voice he heard was coming from his head. It was the Devil talking to him.

"Yes, I want her to be mine, forever."

As Vlad was having his conversation, the Devil told him how to be able to make more like him, more vampires, who could help him expand his evil rule over the land.

I know that was kinda short, but I figured that this would be a good place to stop so it would build some suspense. Please review!
