(Oooh. Pretty.)


 * Claud lost the UNSC patrols and looped back around. The group took refuge in the old Bran Castle, otherwise known in legend as Dracula’s Castle. Charger sends Claud out to get a doctor who returns later. The doctor is somewhat suspicious of what he thinks are strange looking individuals taking refuge in an old castle in the mountains. However, he was offered a large some of money and couldn’t refuse the treatment of a patient. The doctor looks at Charger with curious eyes.

Doctor: What happened to him?

Charger: He fell while skiing and smacked into a tree.


 * The doctor narrows his old eyes.

Doctor: Hm, well, whatever happened him, he’ll be fine. That blood seems to be healing him.

Charger: Blood?

Doctor: Hm, yes, I found some other blood in his body that has some kind of regenerative property. Normally, I wouldn’t condone this, but considering what you are and the circumstances, I figured to leave it alone since it only seems to be helping him.


 * Charger scowls and mutters.

Charger: Alucard.

Doctor: Excuse you?

Charger: It’s nothing. Thank you doctor for your work. He is the sum I believe we settled upon.


 * Charger gives him the money and the doctor returns home. He never said a thing about his experience with the vampires. Christiana falls asleep after a long and painful day with Solomon in her arms. She runs a hand through his thick golden hair. The next day, Solomon woke up to the sounds of metal clashing. He gets up and walks out and looks over the balcony of his room. In the courtyard, Charger, David, and Paul fight with swords. Charger is training the two young vampires. Solomon puts a couple of shoes on and walks to where he assumes the kitchen is. He finds Elena and Christiana talking as they cook.

Solomon: Christy? Mother?


 * They turn and look at him and smile.

Christiana: Well, look who decided to get out of bed?

Elena: I already made you breakfast. It’s on the table.


 * He shuffles to the table and sits down and eats.

Solomon: Mother, what’s father doing with David and Paul?

Elena: He’s training them with swords so if those Guardians ever return, we can protect ourselves.


 * Just then, Charger, David, and Paul walk in.

Charger: Ah, well look who’s up so late.

Solomon: Late? Oh, right, right. Vampires.

Paul: Hm, yes, all of us except you and Christiana.

David: So? You think they’re inferior?

Paul: Well, I didn’t say that. I was only.......

Charger: Now, sons, it was his decision to stay human. However, that doesn’t mean he is anything less than you. You will treat him equally as he is as much my son as the two of you are.

Solomon: Thanks father. By the ways, where are we?

Charger: Bran Castle.


 * Solomon does a double take.

Solomon: You mean Dracula’s Castle?

Charger: Hm, yes, it has a habit of being called that. In fact, from what I remember, Vladimir Dracula the Third never stayed here. His true residence, however, is nothing more than dust now. Bran Castle is called such things only because of Bram Stoker son.

Solomon: Hm, I never knew that.


 * They smile and go about their lives as Claud works on the Pelican dropship.
