-« Erm… I'm sorry… I did not see you. » Said the girl.
-« No, it was my fault. You… You have beautiful ears. »
-Huh… Thank you. » She answered away a strand of her long brown hair behind her ear.
-« Did I say ears ? No, I meant « wings » ! You have beautiful wings… Oh, wait, your ears are beautiful too… » Dracula blushed. « What an idiot ! » He thought.
-« Thank you. I'm Martha. »
-« Dracula. »
-« Dracula ? Count Dracula ? » She said, surprised.
-« Itself. » He said rising. He held out his hand. When she was in front of him, she seemed very small. He wore a black smoking, a long black cape, he had blue eyes and black hair pulled back. He was a handsome young man. Her, she wore a long black dress; she had brown eyes and long brown wavy hair.
-« I knew I was famous, but I didn't know I was that much! » Dracula laugh.
-« Are you kidding ? Everyone knows you, whether humans or monsters. » She seemed tense. He was known for his authority, his strength, his many powers, and especially because he was the prince of darkness. No vampires would dare disrespect him even though he was still young. He looked and saw she was scared.
-« Then you're a vampire ? » He asked, changing the subject.
-« Yes, I'm 118 years. And you ? »
-« 120. »
« He does not talk much. » She thought.
-« Yes, I know, sorry. »
-« How you… You read my mind! »
-« I couldn't stop myself, forgive me. What is a pretty girl like yourself doing here?"
-« Coming to Hawaii was my dream, then for my 118 years, my parents allowed me to come here. And you?"
-« I'm from Germany. I live with my aunt because my parents… » Dracula looked away and did not finish his sentence.
-« Sorry. »
-«This is nothing. »
They continued to walk on the beach and talked.
-« You came alone? » Asked Dracula.
-« Err… Yes, yes. » Martha replied hesitantly. Dracula frowned : she lied. He was a little closer to her and their hands brushed. Dracula blushed and pulled away. Martha smiled; she gathered her courage and took her hand. Until, sunrise, they went hand in hand, to walk to she sea.
GERMANY.
Rosy rang the doorbell of a castle. They came to open a few minutes later.
-« Rosy ! What are you doing here? Where is Vlad?" Asked Frank.
-« I'd like to welcome Eunice. And for Vlad… I will tell you later."
Seeing how dark her face was, Frank realized that there was something wrong with his best friend. He took Rosy in the room where Eunice was changing the cover of the couch in pink. Dozens of boxes were stacked in the living room and in the hallway. Rosy did not dare imagine how many boxes there were in all in the castle.
-"Hello Eunice!" Eunice turned and saw the vampire.
-"Who are you?" She asked, suspicious.
-"See, dear, she's the aunt of Vlad, I talked a lot about her." Said Franck.
-"Ooohh! Hello! I heard a lot about you and Drac indeed." Eunice held out her hand. Rosy pressed trying to avoid her big fuchsia pink nails.
They sat on the couch. She sneezed.
-"I thought vampires never get sick?" Wondered Frank.
-"Too much fragrance..." Answered Rosy. Eunice huffed.
-«Erm, What's happening with Drac? »
-«This is very serious. He attacked some humans in the village. »
-«No! He was the one who killed the children?! » Exclaimed Frank.
-" And you said that he would not hurt a gremlin!" Criticized Eunice. Rosy looked at her furiously.
-"Dear, why don't you put away your clothes in the room while we finish discussing?" Frank said to Eunice.
-"I'm surprised they have not yet done so!" Muttered Rosy to herself.
Frank's girlfriend got up and left the room, relieved to have an excuse not to continue to participate in this discussion that, she says, proves "boring".
-"Good, let's get serious, Vlad left at sunset today." Said the vampire.
-"Where? Do you know? Is he okay? Why did he commit these murders?" And..." Frank exclaimed, panic starting to rise within him.
-"Calm down, calm down Frank! Let me speak first and then, you can ask questions, ok?" She said. Frank sat down and although he was very nervous and worried, he listened attentively.
-" Very good. Since my sister and her husband died..." Frank looked down. He knew very well the parents of his friend. Rosy continued:
-"He is no longer the same. I thought being away from his childhood's manor would be a good thing. At first, everything was fine. You see him every night, do you happen to know what happened to him that's making him act this way?"
-"I think he did not mourn. I think Drac chose to ignore the deaths of his parents rather than to accept it. Perhaps killing is a way for him to relieve and soothe himself." Frank stopped. He could not imagine he was talking about Dracula, about his best friend in such a way...
-"Where did he go?" Frank asked.
-"I suggested to him that he should take some vacations. He went to Hawaii, he really began to be bored of being here, he told me."
-"What he needs is to do meet someone. He has many friends, me, Wayne and Wanda, Murray, Griffin, and many other monsters! He must find someone! Me, since I met Eunice, I feel really good, better than I ever felt!"
-"Ooohh thank you!" Eunice sat next to Frank.
-"Since when are you there?" Asked Rosy.
-"I just listened...The parlor door was open, it wasn't my fault! Listen, Drac seems to be a very nice guy even though I've never seen him. Frank is right, and even vampires can love, no?" Asked Eunice.
-"Well, yes. This is the zing...But every time I talked to him, he said nothing and changed the subject." Said Rosy with a hint of frustration in her voice
-"He's a loner and he probably will stay that way. "Said Franck. The bell rang for the dinner.
-"Will you dine with us?" Asked Eunice.
-"Yes, with pleasure. Even if I did not see him often, the manor seems lifeless without him." Said Rosy.
Far from suspecting what Dracula was doing in Hawaii, she went on to say:
-"He must be bored alone, I hope he will not do anything stupid..."
