Dipper reached the lair of Count Batula. It was a large mansion type of building that looked like it was in need of repairs. He took a deep breath as he ready his shotgun and then he entered the building. The inside was mostly nice, though there was a lot of dust about. Dipper headed down one hallway where he came across two twin girls with brown hair and blue dresses holding hands.

"Come play with us." Said the girls in unison.

Dipper pointed the gun at them and the girls panicked and raised their hands in surrender.

"Wait! Don't shoot! We're human and we're being held captive! My name is Lu and thus is my twin sister Su!" Said one girl.

"Su?" Asked Dipper.

"Our parents were weird." Said Su.

"Who are you?" Asked Lu.

"I'm Dipper and I'm here to rescue you from the vampire." Said Dipper.

"Well good luck with that. You do know that guns don't work on vampires right." Said Su.

"I know that. I'm going to knock the vampire over with the gun and then stake his heart." Said Dipper.

"Well that sounds like a good plan." Said Lu.

Before anything else could be said an invisible force yanked the gun out of Dipper's hands and it flew away. Dipper pulled out his frying pan, but that was yanked away as well. A elderly squirrel with fangs and a large mound of white hair in buns dressed in a red robe came down the hallway. It was Count Batula!

"Master!" Said Lu and Su as they bowed.

Count Batula turned his attention to Dipper.

"Ah, velcome to my house. Please, enter of your own free will, and bring vith you some of the happiness that is so evident in your face... and so lacking in my own..." Said Count Batula.

"I'm Dipper and I'm here for the girls, not to be your guest or meal." Said Dipper trying his best to sound brave.

"So? Ve seldom he visitors in there parts, vat being out here in ze middle of nowhere, on such a cold and gloomy night. Pray, follow me. You look as if... you are in need of sustenance, and I have many things to eat... and drink! Pray, follow me." Said Count Batula as if he hadn't been paying attention to what Dipper had said.

Count Batula began to walk away and a invisible force began to push Dipper and the girls after him. Dipper tried to fight it, but it was too strong. They entered a large dining room.

"As you can see, the house is in somevhat a state of repair. Ve are having a few refurbishments doing at ze moment and... ... I vas going to have all this knocked through to make one big eh... but anyvay, I think ve'll just stick to ze conservatory, for the present. Ah, my dining room." Said Count Batula.

Lu and Su pointed at a seat at the table and Dipper reluctantly sat down. The girls vanished and reappear with food and glasses of wine. Dipper decided to just enjoy the free food and drink as Count Batula looked up at a family portrait of a squirrel wearing older clothes standing next to a panther wearing similar clothes.

"Mmm... my forefather. He vas a crusader in a war of long ago. When ve were allies vit ze squirrels and ze panthers. Zat union, alas! Vas not successful." Said Count Batula.

"Sounds like they had their flaws." Said Dipper.

"Enough! Who are you to criticize me or my ancestors, whose blood runs through these veins?! You are not of noble birth, and never will be!" Yelled Count Batula as he banged his fist on the table.

Dipper jumped back and looked at his host nervously. Count Batula calmed down.

"Pray, accept my apologies. Vhenever I talk about my ancestors, I get somewhat, touchy." Said Count Batula.

"That's fine." Said Dipper.

There was the sound of breaking glass and a door being knocked down. Count Batula went over to a window to look at what was making the noise.

"Vat is that noise?" Ah, *. Ze villagers again. Sounds like there is more of them zis time. Zis could be your lucky night, Dipper. I vas going to kill you and drink your blood. But now I think I vill be needing your help. Pray, come here."

Dipper remained where he was seated.

"I said COME HERE!" Snarled Count Batula as the invisible force yanked Dipper out of the chair and towards the vampire.

Count Batula opened his mouth and bit into Dipper's neck! Dipper screamed in pain and horror and then he passed out.

To be continued.
