Summary

Ok, this isn't the first chapter, this is the summary.  I'll have the first chapter up soon, given that you all want to read it after reading the summary.

This is a basic Dracula fiction.

Drake, the newest in a long line of the Prince of Darkness after Dracula, has found himself in a very strange situation.  A young beautiful girl has just shown up at his doorstep in soaked rags and couldn't look more delicious in the new dress he gave her to ware besides the rages she came in.  His first attempts to charm her have proven very affective.

There was only one problem; her brother was a Vampire Slayer.  But what is this feeling that he has when ever he is around her? Could it be love?  No, of course not. She is nothing but another blood bag to him.  Or is she?

Jaqulin Frank was a normal young woman.  Traveling with her brother Sequin, she finds that she needs something else in her life, besides chasing vampires and slaying them.  Traveling with her brother was proving to be fine, but he had already gotten avenges for the untimely death of their parents by killing the vampire who did it.  But for some reason, she noted, that wasn't enough for her brother.  Far from it.

Then, by chance, a huge storm hit the rout they were taking to the next town where they had heard there was a vampire taking up residence.  They were forced to stop at a nearby castle and see if the caretaker would allow them to stay long enough and wait the storm out.  Little did they know the occupants of the castle were far from living.

The moment that Jaqulin saw Drake she was enchanted by the man.  The one man who was very kind to her and gave her a few new dresses to slip into during her stay at the castle so as not to catch her death in the wet clothes she wore into the castle.  To her, there was no way he could be anything else but the most gentlemen like man she had met since she started her quest with her brother.

From the dresses that he offered her to ware instead of the rags she wore when she first asked to wait the storm out with him, to the necklace of a bat and a dragon with a blood red gem stone in the middle, she wanted to leave this new man in her life just about as much as her brother Sequin wanted to become friends with a vampire.

From the moment that Sequin saw her little sister being charmed by this man that was kind enough to let them stay, he was very wary of him.  Worried that something was going to happen to her, he stuck to her like glue.  Not giving Drake the change that he needed to just sink his teeth into her, literally.

By his sisters request, he did not ask about the suspicious way that Drake acted.  Nor about the presents that he seemed to just come up with every day for his sister.  Nor did he about how he never slept up in the bedrooms.  He just kept to himself, that is until Jaqulin disappeared one night
…

Chapter One: The Dark and Stormy, Arrival

            On a dark, gloomy, rainy evening, a horse and buggy ran screaming out of control.  There was a blood curdling screech as the buggy bounced off rocks and speed bumps.  Lightning flashed, spooking the horse more as a clap of thunder seemed to seal the fate of the occupants in the buggy.

            A long, callused hand stretched out and grabbed the reigns and pulled back on them hard.  Brining the running horse to a stand still.

            "That's it Sequin, find a place to stop for the night.  That's the last time I am going to set back and let you get us almost killed cause of a stupid vampire."  A stressed female voice said.

            "I know Jaqulin, but it's not like you see just any Inn around here do you?" Sequin asked.

            "Well, no.  But what about that castle over there?" Jaqulin asked pointing over to a dark, spooky, and mysterious castle to their right.

            Sequin looked over and saw the large castle and his breath caught in his throat.  "Yeah, that will do." He commented softly as the rain began poring down.

            "Can we hurry? I'm getting soaked."  Jaqulin asked as she hunkered down where she was.  Sequin saw that the skin to the buggy was gone completely, leaving nothing but a skeleton behind.  He waked over, unhitched the horse they had pulling the buggy, and walked the horse over to his sisters side. "What are you doing?"

            "We can go faster with just the horse, come on."  He replied.  He packed a few things in a saddle bag, hefted it over the horses back, and then helped his little sister on to the saddle.  He jumped on himself and dug his heals into the horses rubs.  The horse was more then happy to oblige and get out of such stormy night himself.

            Jaqulin held on tight to the saddle with her hands. She had no choice but to ride side saddle.  Her dress was already torn, patches shown everywhere showing her attempt to mend the dress many times.  And she was soaked to the bone.  Sequin held her tight to him for she was about to slip off.  She had remembered that the dress she wore was the only she had.  Over the years of her journey with her brother she had not had a chance to purchase a new one.  She heard her dress rub once again and sighed, for she knew that she would be staying up late yet again mending it.

            When they made it to the castle, they looked up and saw it was bigger then they expected.  They also saw a stable off to their right, full of horses.  They got off quickly and Sequin headed their horse into the stable out of the rain.  The horse was more then happy to follow orders and run into the stable.

            Seeing his sister shivering, Sequin took off his already wet, but warm, jacket and put it around her.  Holding her close, he went first and knocked on the colossal door of the castle.  When the door opened to reveal the butler, or who looked like the butler, he wished he hadn't knocked.

            The butler that had answered the door was as pale as a sheet, and his eyes sagged.  He looked more like a zombie then a man.

            "Um
…
Could we stay the night, it is dreadfully cold out here, and we might catch our death if we don't get in out of the rain." Sequin said, trying to be reasonable with the butler, but wasn't having much lick until the butler saw his sister, Jaqulin.

            To him, Jaqulin looked like the most heavenly woman he'd seen in a while, and he had seen a lot in his time.  He wondered about his master for a moment, and how he would approve of the sudden intrusion of the travelers.  He thought that maybe if he were to mention the young woman then he doubted that his master would have a problem with this sudden appearance of two siblings.  The butler looked Jaqulin over one more time then said "You and the young woman may come in."

            Jaqulin looked up to her brother for guidance.  All he could do was look down at her and hold her close as they walked in and the door made an ominous sound as it closed, as if it anticipated their fate.

The Butler walked into the Den where a young man, who couldn't be any older then 25, was resting against the arm of a couch, cup of ruby red liquid in hand.

            "What is it James? I'm relaxing."  The young man asked eyeing the white old man with slightly annoyed eyes.

This young man looked slightly pale.  Not nearly as pale as his butler, but he still was slightly pale. He did, though, have some complexion to his face, making him look handsome and almost god like.  His eyes seemed un-tired and focused, unlike his butlers, whose showed signs of a working life.  This young man on the other hand showed no signs of having to work ever.  He looked vary handsome in deed.

His clothes were black.  A black tuxedo, with dress shoes and a black cape to go with it.  The cape came down to his ankles and wrapped around him concealing his whole body. There was one inconsistency, though, about his attire.  He wore a black and silver amulet around his neck, with a blood red stone in the middle of it.

"There are two travelers here; they were driven in by the horrendous storm.  James replied as he bowed to his obvious master.

            The young man rose immediately with fury in his eyes, threw the glass of liquid into the fire to his right and yelled. "What have it old you about visitors, I don't want visitors!"

            "There is a very pretty young woman with a young man.  I thought that you would want to be 'gentlemen like' to the young lady."  James said right after his masters out-burst.

            "Really now?"  He said, not asking a question really, as he calmed down and relaxed back on the couch. "Hmm, yes, I will be very gentlemen like to any young woman, especially a pretty one."  The young man thought to himself as he thought of what this young woman could look like.  "Show them in James."  He finally said after a long moment.

            "Yes Master Drake."  James said as he left to do just that.

            Drake looked into the fire and smiled with an evil gleam in his eye "Yes, she must be very pretty for James to notice."  He commented "Very pretty indeed."

Chapter Two: Meeting The New Prince of Darkness

            "My Master, Drake, will see you in the Den. Follow me."  The butler appeared out of no where and said, startling Jaqulin. "I'm sorry miss, did I frighten you?"  He asked.

            "N-no, not at all.  I'm just a little jumpy from being cold and wet, that's all."  She reassured and then followed the butler, along with her brother, into the den.

When she entered she saw the most handsome, god like man she had ever seen before, reclined on a couch without a worry.  She could feel her heart flutter beneath her sternum and pushed it back down.  She felt so embarrassed, standing there in the presence of a formally dressed man in nothing but soaked rags.  She wished she had something a little better on.

Before either of them could stop him to ask anything, James left them standing in the Den with the mysterious Drake.

It was then that Drake looked up to see the young woman standing before him.  He felt a lump form in his throat, for the first time in a long time, just by looking at her.  She looked more like a goddess to him then a normal woman.  She wore rags, and knew that he would have to change that very soon.

He looked up to her face and she looked simply like an angle.  "How did such an angel happen upon my door step, the devils door step?" He asked himself quickly.  He shook his head for a moment to get thoughts out of his head and looked at the bright young woman again.  She seemed as though she were embarrassed to be seen in such rags.  And then he realized he was dressed formally just like he always dressed, and that was why.

He swallowed the lump and managed to get out in a professional sounding tone "Please, have a seat."  And smiled in Jaqulin's direction.

Seeing the sweet, charming smile, her heart yet again fluttered, and this time she couldn't pat it down.  Drake got up and said "now, before anything else is said, I must know your names.  I wouldn't be a very good host if I didn't know my guests names."

Jaqulin smiled and was the first to answer, and answered for her brother at the same time. "My name is Jaqulin and this is my brother Sequin.  We are greatly sorry for disturbing you at such an hour, but we were on our way to the next town but got lost and our horse was spooked by the lightning. And he started to r
