Mont Blanc… A mountain range that covered a lot of space in Europe but… I had the longitude and latitude for my mother's old family home but no exact location. The old family home was located close to France which would explain my mom's French accent. As I looked over my mom's file and frowned, if I was going to act I had to act now, everyone was asleep and I had a very important date to keep at the airport. Taking a deep breath, and slowly letting it out I grabbed a rather large green backpack in my room, and slowly I filled it with a change of clothes, my passport along with a large brown jacket that I used to wear during the winter months in New York along with some gloves and thick sweaters, along with some items that could come in handy.
Next I quietly headed down into the kitchen, I grabbed plenty of non-perishable food items and a large stainless steel water bottle and filled it with ice and with the rest of my supply of blood vials. After gathering everything I grabbed the final thing I would need my dad's emergency stash of money, you see my dad despite acting like a moron at times was smarter then he let on. He always kept a stash of cash on hand, for those… Just in case emergencies, there was several large stacks of money from all around the world. Grabbing a few thousand in American and Euros I quickly stuffed the cash away into my jacket and headed toward the garage, but not before leaving a small note in the fridge, last place to find a note and by the time they find it I will be long gone. Going inside the two-car garage was my dad's car which was some kind of hybrid but that wasn't what I was after.
No I was after my motorcycle the 750 series was my favorite mostly because Johnny Blaze drove one… Yeah, I was a sucker for the Ghost Rider comics…Now I grabbed my helmet and slowly opened the garage, putting the kick stand up I started pushing the bike out of the garage and closing the door. I took one look at the house and sighed. "I'm sorry dad, but I hope you understand." Shaking my head, I took my bike and kept on pushing, I didn't want to start it until after I was far away enough from the house. After pushing the bike for three blocks I figured now would be safe enough and slowly pulling my keys out I started the bike, hopping onto my bike I pulled on my helmet and drove. Where was I headed? Well turns out there was a private airport here in New Salem that had well…cargo planes and people willing to fly and ship whoever to where ever as long as they took cash and didn't ask any questions.
Driving to the airfield I pulled up to rather large cargo plane I nodded at the crew and hopped off my bike, taking off the helmet I tossed it to one of the guys and nodded at the bike. Nodding the handlers took my bike, and helmet and pushed it into the plane. Looking around I found the pilots and reaching into my backpack I took a two thousand American which was kept together by some rubber bands and tossed it at them. "We good?"
Quickly checking it one of the pilots nodded his head and gave me a thumb up. "Good to go, where are we headed?"
"Haute-Savoie, Mont Blanc airport." I said crossing my arms across my chest. "When we get there, I will need you guys to linger for a few days, I'll even provide you the euros for you guys to…enjoy a nice holiday, but when… No if I come back I'll have someone with me and I will need you to get us back here. So, we good?" I asked looking between them.
Nodding both pilots agreed and together we headed into the plane and soon enough we were taking off, I was sitting down against my motorcycle. My backpack was resting next to me, rubbing the bridge of my nose. "I will find my mom no matter what." Sighing I slowly closed my eyes and decided to sleep for the ten and half hour flight to France.
(Back at D's house)
"Hey Gigi… Have you seen D?" Jason asked looking around the kitchen.
Frowning the pink genie shook her head as she came down the stairs. "No, not since yesterday…"
"Hm… Don't worry about it, I'm sure he just went to school early, his bike is gone." Shrugging Jason walked toward the fridge and opened it. "A little weird he didn't mention anything about leaving early…. Huh? What's this?" Raising an eyebrow Jason reached inside and pulled out a piece of paper.
"What is it?" Gigi asked walking over and looked over Jason's shoulder to see what he was looking at, it was a note. Reading over it the pink genie gasped her eyes going wide, covering her mouth in shock.
Slowly putting the note down Jason sighed and looked over at Gigi his eyes had a mixture of anger, fear, and anxiousness. "Gigi… Get your stuff, we need to speak with Headmistress Bloodgood."
(Back with D)
The ten and half hour flight wasn't so bad… I ended up sleeping the entire way, lucky for me, anyway, both pilots woke me up after we landed. Nodding I gave them the euros from my backpack and with some help I got my bike off the plane and after getting some directions in very, very bad English I was able to make my way toward the town of Haute-Savoie. Now let me just say this place was a tourist trap, a lot of people come here to climb or to snowboard… My plan was a little different, sure I was going to climb the mountain but not for recreation. After finding a small house that was for rent… Yeah for rent. There was some people that rented their places out I put my bike into the garage and locking the place up I quickly changed into a thick sweater, jacket and gloves. Heading into town I found a store that sold climbing gear, a map and a satellite gps, so while guying the gear the store owner told me I would need a good pair of climbing boots, I also bought some more food and a lot of water. While in town I also poked around looking for any information about a hidden mansion or chateau in the mountains…. Turns out there was A LOT of stories and rumors about a hidden chateau up in the mountains, but all the stories and rumors ended in the same way. People who found it, never came back. Well… I'll be the first.
"Young man, I must insist you don't go up there." Some random guy said after I asked him about the chateau, placing a hand on my shoulder he frowned. "People go missing, it is not safe."
Frowning I shook him off and headed straight for the mountain trial with my backpack filled to the brim with my gear. "You're right it isn't safe. For them." Snarling I said this loud enough for only me to hear.
"Are you sure this is the place?" Gigi asked looking around.
"Yes… This is a tourist… trap, isn't it?" Elissabat frowned. "Lots of people… I don't think D would like it here."
"He was here, trust me. I can smell him." Clawdeen nodded her head as she crossed her arms across her chest.
Sighing Jason nodded his head. "This is the place; my wife's family home is up in the mountains… I just hope we can get D before it's too late."
Putting a hand on the older man's arm Twyla smiled sadly. "We'll get him back home Mr. Blood, even if we have to drag him back by his fangs."
"Your right, thank you ghouls. Now let's see if we can find my way word son and bring him home." Jason smiled slightly at the girl.
Cheering the ghouls and Jason headed straight into town and while most of the people here knew about monsters they stilled stared at them, doing their best to ignore all the looks they all asked around if anyone had seen a…well a very tall, thin and angry American teenager with a motorcycle…. Turns out they had, finding the place he rented and talking to the owners of the house he rented and with some sweet-talking Jason was able to get a spare set of keys to the house he was renting.
Once everyone was all settled Jason outlined the plan to the ghouls.
"Now the hike to the chateau will take three days, and D already has a day's head start… But I know the exact location of the chateau and D will be taking the tourist route, and if we move fast enough. We can catch up." Jason said pulling out a map of the local area and marking the route. Nodding the ghouls agreed and gathering everything else up the small rag tag group gathered everything they needed and went to rescue the idiot dhampir from himself.
So far, the climb up the mountain was… Well it sucked ass even with the longitude and latitude of the chateau but that didn't give me the exact location and the gps and map I had were no real help either, it could be worse though. I was thinking that maybe… Just maybe I should turn back, when I hit pay dirt. I was sitting off the beaten path, trying to figure out what my next move was when a very strange and familiar scent hit my nose… Now I should explain this…. Vampires have a unique and interesting smell to them, the majority of the vampires the draculina's all smelt like a mixture of blood… Or in Draculaura's case tomato juice and this…weird musky scent like a pampered dog…This new scent was wilder…. Like… the only thing I could compare it to was a wolf…and nothing like a werewolf who smell like a dog with some woodsy, no I mean this smell was pure primal and it set my brain afire with a mixture of rage, fear, and excitement. Grabbing my gear, I quickly followed the source of the scent and as I got closer I found myself standing in front of a very large chateau, the building looked like was from a gothic horror…only modern in some ways, there was a large satellite dish on top one of the towers, while solar panels were on the roof.
Shaking my head, I slowly made my way to the door and just as I was about to knock on the door it opened and a very large shadowy tentacle wrapped around my body and sucked me inside. I tried to shout in surprise but stopped when I was face to face with a guy about my age, he had long black hair, piercing red/orange eyes and a weird lip piercing.
"Hello cousin, good to finally meet you!" The black-haired teen tossed me onto the floor with a grin.
Groaning I quickly got back to my feet my eyes slowly started to shift but then I fell to the floor in pain as a rather large knife was sticking out of my shoulder. "Son of a bitch…"
"Abel, who did you catch? Not another one of those pathetic towns folk or a tourist again?" A very feminine voice said. Turning my head to look at the voice it was another teen around my age only of course a girl, but she had curly brown hair and slightly pointed ears which poked through her hair.
"Of course, not sister, it's our cousin. Come and join me in welcoming the half-breed to the family!" The now named Abel grinned widely.
Gasping the teenage girl bent down and pulled the knife from my shoulder and stuck her heel into the wound and dug in. "It's so nice to meet you! Abel, you should tell grandfather about our little visitor! And I'm being rude… little cousin I'm Luna and don't worry I will take 'special' care of you, until grandfather arrives." Bending down the now named Luna gave me…. Well a very twisted and savage grin that reminded me of my vampire half. Looking around I made sure Abel was now gone and I gave Luna a snarl and I shifted my form into mist and moved away from her. Reforming I dropped my backpack and rushed her, tackling my crazy cousin to the ground I wrestled the knife away from her and tossed it into the wall, and before she could shift forms I forced my fangs to grow and bit into her shoulder, drinking her blood.
"Gah! The fuck are you doing half-breed!" She shouted as her body formed into a shadowy substance and moved along the floor and away from me.
Panting I slowly felt my shoulder wound closing and looked around trying to see where she was… But the only true light source in the chateau was from the door and despite my ability to see in the dark I couldn't see anything. Growling I quickly grabbed my backpack and went back to the doors and spread them open to shine more light into the entry way. Getting a good look, the place had a main staircase in the entryway with dark velvet carpet and all the walls were covered in paintings.
"Come… On come out where ever you, you psycho bitch." I growled my arms shifting into make shift shadowy whips.
"Now, that isn't anyway to talk about your cousin." A voice boomed near the stairs.
Looking up at the voice I was a little shocked at what or more like who I was seeing. The guy had a classic super-hero build, the perfect 'v' he wore dark silk pants, leather boots, a white vest over a dark blue shirt which had a dark red gem near his throat, and he wore a long black suit coat that went down to his knees. Moving past his clothes he looked old…he had long silver hair that swept past his shoulders, a thick white mustache and a small goatee which didn't connect to his mustache. However, despite the silver hair his face and eyes were devoid of wrinkles or crow feat or… any sign of aging. That wasn't the freaky part about him though, just by looking at him every single instinct I had inside of me told me to run the hell away…. Locking my knees to keep them buckling I bared my fangs at the stranger who simply shook his head and spread his arms out wide.
"Come D, embrace your grandfather."
