1 Chapter 01 : Run...

A man was calmly listening to classical music with his victrola as he could hear the screeching and scratching, the masculine figure calmly wrote as he'd sometimes take his hands off of the paper and scratch his head in thought, he'd tap his foot of which would resound throughout the room.

The man had on an exquisite and formal white undershirt with a black vest atop, black suit pants with formal and dressy-type black loafers of which stopped just below the ankles and pitch black socks.

In one of his pants pockets was what appeared a stopwatch of which he always kept on him since his childhood, he had combed back black hair of which was glossy in the light and dark, and a black beard of which surrounded his face, firmly trimmed.

He had red irises of which glowed in the dark barely hidden behind his slightly transparent glasses of which were kind of darkened, and his ears of which perked at the listen of the old stopwatch that ticked… and ticked.

He could hear as his pen would hit the notepad but it would sound like a resounding thud, a smash… there were times when he would not focus and it'd get out of control, his eyes contracted to the point where he could see the very particles in the air and then it would flip normal again,

His muscles tensed as his eyes flickered over towards his right hand of which a snapped pen appeared to his eyes and he sighed as he threw away the pen as he cursed himself and spoke aloud, "Every damned time… I say to you, this power is more of a curse than a blessing".

He didn't say that he'd hated his power, but it was more of a problem. He had so much power in his body that he could barely contain it, to the point where he could to cooperate with those filthy witches to learn a little bit of magic to seal up his power,

He looked around at his barred up windows and house in general of which didn't allow any light to come through, he held out his hand and a cup of water appeared and he took a sip as he thought, "How long has it been… decades? Centuries? I've sealed… kept myself in here for so long. I wonder how they are doing?" he thought of a certain group of people he nurtured before he sealed himself in this little house he had, he sighed once again and got up, placed the diary that he was writing on into a bookshelf with hundreds, perhaps thousands more already sitting up there and he admired his collection of his diaries over the centuries.

As he was reminiscing about the past, his ears perked up and his neck snapped towards a certain direction and he tilted his head a little, he heard voices… more precisely teenage ones. His brows furrowed and he seemingly teleported over towards over towards the victrola and lifted up the tip so the classical music would stop playing and teleported once again above the stairs near the railing as his eyes glowed red and looked towards the door as it locks were broken and people came in and he flashed nowhere to be seen,

A petite blond came through with what appeared to be blue jeans, and a white t-shirt with over 3 bracelets on her wrists and makeup on her face, she had marvelous face features with a chiseled chin, but with little to no muscle, along with a male with dark brown hair, he had an athletic type of build with a high school football jacket on, he had black jeans on with black boots, he definitely looked like the high school jock, but more friendly? Then there was a young teenage Latina with what appeared to be the most beautiful one, with curly hair, sharp trimmed eyebrows, she had ripped black jeans with athletic running shoes, with a white t-shirt and a brown coat over her body,

"Why did we have to even come here?" the blonde female said over towards the male who grinned, "It's Halloween, so of course we had to come to an haunted house," and the Latina scoffed, "Haunted? What's the story?" she said and they both looked over towards the blonde who sighed and spoke out as she was looking around the house more specifically the diaries, "Rumors say that this house was here before America was even stablished, rumored to be here even before Alexander the Great," and the man's eyes furrowed as he was shocked, "So this was here before Jesus Christ was here?" and the blonde hesitatingly nodded of which the Latina spoke, "So your telling me that this house, of which in the time period of BC was here? Before such things as a house even existed?"

While the blonde spoke, "Who says whoever lived here didn't make evolutionary changes to it over the decades? But judging by how it was barred up I doubt they did that… so how it was like this? I don't know, but I'll continue on with the rumors about who… lived here" which piqued everyone's interest, and the crows outside started chirping and wind blew everywhere,

"It was believed that an Ancient Vampire Lord, the very first one that came into being, sealed himself here, and his name was-" the crows started cawing and flying throughout the house and through the door, the chandelier inside the house started moving back and forth, the winds, everything were moving as if they were trying to warn them not to say it…

The Latina spoke up, "I've seen in movies that if that ever happened, you'd better run because you'd most likely die soon, so whatever the name is, it's not worth our lives so I'm out!" she said as she turned and was about to leave until the door slammed closed right in front of her face, "Shit" and she turned around towards the bewildered blonde and the jock, "Well… looks like we're going to die because of your stupid ass joke to come up here on Halloween! Halloween are you fucking kidding me Derrick? Have you not seen enough scary movies to realize that you don't do that!" she said as she yelled at the man who was scared also,

They then heard creaks by the stairs, as if someone was walking towards them, it was heavy, "W-what the hell is that noise?" the man said as he was suddenly fearful and the blonde pushed him in front of the two girls, "Your supposed to be the man here why the hell are you scared all of a sudden!" and he was about to investigate until the latina slapped him atop the back of his head, "No investigating! That's how you always die in a damn movie, you stick together" and she pointed at the blonde and gazed at her, "And no falling if we get chased!" they then turned back towards the staircase when they saw a figure,

The man was the same as before, except you couldn't really see the figure that well, but you could definitely see the red eyes through the dark, "What are you doing here… in my domain?" the figure spoke out with a deep voice and the blonde spoke up towards her friends, "I got this, trust me. I've dealt with this far too many times" and she walked in front of the group and stared at the eyes with no fear, "Listen I have no clue who you are, but to follow us all the way out here to prank us? Hilarious, with the crows, and even the red LED lights you have… but the jokes over and it's not that funny." and the figure tilted it's head and it scoffed, "Followed? You dare speak to me in a manner in my own home? Even to go to the lengths and say that I followed you?" he then slowly went down the steps towards the blonde, "If there was anything I've chased… it was my prey and they've never had the honor to say that I've chased them because they were dead… now" he said as he was at the bottom of the steps and put his hand under the beautiful ladies chin and lifted her up and stared her in her eye,

"If I chased you… stalked you even." he paused, "What would happen" and her breath shuddered as she looked the man in his eyes and her eyes widened at how beautiful he was, and how he was touching her, her knees felt weak and she could barely breath, "W-we'd die?" and the man pulled back with a smile, "Indeed" he said with a smile and turned around with his back towards them, and his tone turned harsh, and he turned his head slightly until only his right eye was seen and within was a predatory gaze… "If you know who I am, then you know what's going to happen to you. You have only a minute to run away as fast as you can from here… otherwise, you'll never see the light of day ever again… ever" he said as he sat down on the stairs step.

It didn't take that long for them to digest what he said and they slammed the door open and ran for their damn lives, while the man smiled, he cracked his knuckles and snapped his neck and started stretching a little, "It's been some time since I've had some fun" he then stopped and looked out towards the door, and at great speeds he flew towards them and was amazed at his own speed, he'd already said that he sealed his power. Hell even know it's still sealed, this is only perhaps a mere portion of it, very little of it. He'd never got to really test out that power though, so he doesn't know his limits.

He'd already found the group, but what he saw amazed him, "What… the hell is that?" he said as he looked at the vehicle in front of him, though he didn't know what it was at all. "H-have I been gone that long? Has technology, no has humans advanced that far?" he said as he tilted his head, the man watched as the thing drove off and curious, the man followed them all the way back to what appeared to be some small town and he was intrigued. "Interesting, it seems I'll have to come and pay a visit" he then looked up in the trees and saw a white crow and nodded towards it and its eyes flickered red before flying off towards the car's direction and the man smiled.

"It seems that I'll come out of my little shell from now on, it's not like I can stay there any longer. If some teenage kids found my place, that could mean that they've found out where I am… hmph troublesome. Knowing how they are they'd take down kingdoms and make them kneel to me if they found out where I am."

His figure turned around and disappeared in the dark, "It's time for Dracula to reappear"
