Chapter 30

It was strange how it had all happened. The prince, as some would like to call Vlad Draculae came to Japan. Having sworn to kill his father, Vlad Draculae the III alias Vampire Hunter D fired a shot. The older man dodged. He wrapped a hand around his son's neck and squeezed. The boy had difficulty breathing.

They had finally met on the grounds of Kurosu Academia.

Only the arrival of the Queen and other students of the Night class brought them apart. Vlad III and his father were hell-bent on killing each other.

They were thrown apart by impact of each rushing at the other. As they gained momentum and rushed at each other again, they were thrown back when they hit the shield of ice that the Queen had set in between them. Stubbornly, thinking of no other way to attain his goal, the younger kept going, only to be thrown back each time, while the elder just stood and watched with a cruel smirk on his red lips.

"Stupid bitches," muttered the Queen.

"What?!" cried Vlad the younger. "What?!" mocked the elder.

"That's enough!" snapped the Queen.

They turned and stared at her.

"Thank you," she said smiling sweetly.

The wall of ice melted. The water crept closer and closer to father and son. It formed a ring and round them then froze over, shooting upward leaving a hole, too high to jump through. The circumference of the ring began to shrink, until there was only enough room for the two to stand facing one another or side by side.

"You will settle your differences or you will be trapped here for a very long time," she said smirking.

"Let me out woman!" roared Vlad junior. "He can rot here for all I care!"

"That's your problem," she said happily. "You are supposed to solve it. Goodnight!"

They were left like that for days, weeks, months…well not that many…a year, until the end of the last year that any of the Night class students were to stay.
