Mina and the Count; a Fact to Face
Part 1
Count Vlad was treating himself to something special tonight- a 'guest'. Not Mina of course, he never let her around the castle on nights like this. He smiled darkly. As much as the vampire enjoyed children's games and spending time with his little human friend it had to be faced- he was still a vampire. Licking his lips, he started getting ready. He pulled his large blue collar up around his neck, somewhat highlighting his pale blue skin. "These mirrors are vorthless." He grumbled, trying to fix his jacket.
Igor seemed glad enough Mina wasn't coming tonight and that the count was feeding at home. He hadn't done this in over three years and he could count because Master had been seeing the annoying girl since she was seven. Now she was eleven. His eye twitched, tired and grumpy. Igor would actually get some sleep tonight, maybe, if he wasn't plotting how to get Mina away from the count. His master's happiness was the only thing in mind, but the old routine was better. He didn't have to clean up toys, dolls, and board games for a seven hundred year old vampire then.
"Igor, help me vith this stupid thing." The count commanded, pointing to his jacket.
"Yes, Master." The hunchbacked man sighed and straightened the vampire's clothes. He tried to smile. "The girl downstairs is named Gabriella Trent, Master." He nodded.
"Excellent." The count sighed and started downstairs. He was treating Gabriella to a wonderful human dinner that Igor had worked extra hard to prepare and then, he snickered, treating himself. There was that old darkness in Master's eyes- it made Igor happy to see him as his old self for just a moment.
Right about then the little man got an idea; an idea that could easily be worked over into a plan and put into action. He scuttled down the hall towards the telephone. He dialed Mina's number before he was even sure what he was doing. "Hello?" Answered the little girl he somehow managed to dread, despise, and care for all at the same time.
"Oh, yes." The hunchbacked man caught himself. "Hello, Mina." He tried to sound polite. The idea burned like an iron in the back of his mind; hot, mean, and nasty.
"What is it, Igor? I've got homework." She was biting on her eraser, mulling over a few science problems.
"The count has changed his mind and would like you to come over immediately." He lied quickly. In the foyer he could hear Vlad greeting Gabby ecstatically.
"Alright, I'll be over." Mina smiled and hung up. Igor grinned, showing his crooked and rotten teeth.
This plan wasn't hard and required little cunning. Mina, poor naïve Mina, had never really understood the count for what he was, just who he was. She knew he was a vampire but did not understand that he drank blood. Now Igor was going to show her. Of course the Count would be furious, but it was worth it to get the little girl out of their hair. She was nothing but a stake in the little man's side.
************************
"Ah, Gabby, I'm so pleased that you could make it!" The count descended the stairs. He flung back his light blue cape and took the young woman's hand, kissing it.
The olive skinned girl blushed brightly. He heard her pulse quicken, delicious life giving blood rushing into her cheeks. She was eighteen, fresh out of high school and full of life. The count, frozen in time at twenty-one, had hypnotized her into thinking she had a date here tonight. The girl didn't really have any idea who he was, but went with it. "Wonderful to see you." She smiled. "Are we going out?"
"No, I thought ve'd stay here tonight." He smiled. Sliding across the floor silently, Count Vlad led her into the dining hall. "Hungry?" The vampire motioned to plate after fine china plate Igor had filled with fine human food.
Gabriella slapped a hand over her mouth and giggled. "Oh, yes." Count pulled back her chair and she was seated. He sat down on the far end and started an idle conversation while his dinner ate.
************************
"Sorry I'm late." Mina said immediately when Igor opened the door. He was surprised by how tall she had gotten. When he first made the mistake of putting her on Master's schedule she had been seven. Now she was eleven and chasing twelve. Her body was becoming more shapely and curving into that of a woman.
"That's fine." The little hunchback nodded. "The count was just getting ready."
************************
By now Gabby had finished and was sitting on Vlad's lap. She was, like many women, hopelessly attracted to him. The Count kissed her neck carefully, feeling her blood pulse through the perfectly shapen vein. She smiled excitedly and closed her eyes. "Look at me." He grinned, licking his fangs carefully.
When the young woman turned to him his natural magnetism gave way to hypnotism. He only hypnotized his prey to kill the pain and, importantly, screaming that came with death. Her eyelids fluttered and she shrugged against his chest. Smiling hungrily he tilted up the girl's chin and bit into the sinewy flesh.
The blood washed over his fangs and he drank, thirsty and glad for sustenance. She jerked futily for a second and went limp.
***********************
Igor had timed it perfectly and lead her into the castle's living room just in time to see him bite Gabby. Mina's face went pale. The count's eyes were closed, absorbed in sucking the blood from his prey. He swallowed minutely, almost happily. She watched her friend's throat rise and fall as if he was breathing. This continued, unbroken because he had not noticed Mina. She was shocked that the Count would do something so- she dug up one of her spelling words- barbaric.
Vlad finally could not take any more out of his victim without killing her and looked up. He realized she was here and had seen everything. "Mina-" She was already gone.
