Transylvania: The son of Dracula

The cold winds of the night swept through the dark dead streets of Transylvania. The cars parked off to the side and motionless. Everything was silence and dead as the clock tower stroke midnight. It was a time of horror and depression; most of the children of the small village had just gone missing the night before. It wasn't that big of mystery as to how they went missing but why. Had they done something they weren't supposed to? Or were they just a tasty snack for the so-called "son of Dracula." Who knows it's just a matter of time before-

"Hey Alec, is anybody in there?" A loud and obnoxious voice called out in a state of worry. It was Eric Peterson a 17 year old German Goth who was currently standing over Alec's desk asking him if he was all right. Eric wasn't the brightest of all guys but he was one of Alec's best friends. "Huh?" Alec looked up from his dell (laptop) and smiled. "Yeah I'm hear." He closed his laptop part way and waited to see what else Eric would have to say. "so...uhh.. Whatcha doing?" Eric peered over Alec's shoulder. "I'm writing a story about Transylvania, hopefully I'll get full credit in Mr. Adams class...he's such a hard teacher." Mr. Adams was the English/ Creative writing teacher for Lincoln high school.
Lincoln high school was such a poor school and didn't have enough money for many new materials. It was built in the late 50's and hadn't change much aside from the fact that they had added to the building just a tad bit. The building was falling apart and was already molded in certain areas like the cafeteria and the locker rooms. There were bugs everywhere and spider webs hung from the ceiling.
The food wasn't all that great either; there were cockroaches in some of the dishes that had been sitting out waiting for the students. So the school was not at all high class in fact it should have been shut down long ago, how it survived was a mystery.
"Are you ready for the test in algebra?" Eric asked as he sat down in the desk in front of Alec's. Now Alec was a smart young man but when it came to Math he knew absolutely nothing. All the multiplication and division and even fractions, just puzzled the poor boy. Luckily he had a sweet tutor who gave up his time to help Alec with his struggles.
"Just a little bit, Kris helped me study yesterday after school."
"Oh…" Eric paused for a minute or two. "What's your relationship with that guy?"
"What?" Alec looked at Eric with an odd Expression. "What do you mean?"
"Never mind." Eric turned around in his desk to do some work. The boys had only two class periods left in the day and it was almost time for lunch and then it was time for Mr. Adams class; Alec loved the class and admired the teacher who was teaching it, he was one of the only teachers who really understood kids Alec's age and tried to help them.
Alec lifted his laptop screen back up, "now where was I?" He scanned the page with his Hazel green eyes, "Ah there we are." He continued typing.

Who knows it's just a matter of time before- the sun sets and the creature comes to choose his next victim and surround them in darkness, putting them to sleep forever. Some say he's just searching for some companion he can share his life with and others say he's just looking to have a bit of fun, one things for sure he has taken so many lives in the past few months then any one. If I could just have one wish I hope to find him and to tell him how much I admired him and how I wanted to spend the rest of my life in his dark hold.

Suddenly the bell rang and all the students quickly gathered there belongings and went out the door. Alec was the last student out of the class room he quickly dashed to his locker and then to his next class. When he arrived at Mr. Adams class he noticed there was something different, there was a new student sitting in the seat next to Alec's in the the middle of the room.
The new student was wearing a black band t-shirt with fish net under it and had black skinny jeans on. his hair was cut in layers and died black he had make up under his eyes and a lip ring on the right side of his bottom lip.
“um.. hello..” Alec tried to be friendly as he walked up and sat in the seat next to the his new partner. “I’m Alec...whats your name?”
The boy looked at Alec and simply ignored him. The new student seemed to be pretty stuck up almost like one of those rich kids who were to good to hang with the other students. Alec, now annoyed sat down in his desk and went back to his lovely story on his laptop after making a note in a new window. ‘note to self; Don’t talk to new kid in Creative Writing...’

Later that night there was a scream that came from afar. I ran to where i heard the cry for help and found....him the son of Dracula. He was tall pale and hidden in the darkness. his complexion almost glowed with the shine of the moon. I stood there in a trance and in disbelieve. I couldn't believe my eyes, he was so beautiful that it seemed almost like a dream come true. He suddenly glared at me, looking straight through me and into my soul. My mouth opened but words didn't come out it was like i was mute from just one look.

“Alec, please pay attention to what I am teaching.” Mr. Adams was in the front of the class room talking about some writing competition. Alec never entered any competitions, He always thought he wouldn't win and that his stories would just be laughed at.
“Now then, the remaining of the class period is for you to work on missing work or your final story that you will be reading out loud in front of the class, and yes this is your final project.” Mr. Adams walked to his desk that was in the front of the room in the left corner. Once Mr. Adams sat down the students went to work, some talked, some worked and some kids went out of the class room to use the rest room. Alec worked on his laptop some more and when he came to a convenient stopping point he glanced up and looked at the new student and saw that he was drawing silently. To get a better look Alec leaned over, slightly to get glance of what the new student was drawing, it was the students and the teacher, it was very clear and very well drawn. They were just sketches but they looked realistic down to the very last detail. Alec loved art it was always a beautiful way of expressing ones self. However Alec wasn't that great of an artist, he mainly expressed himself through his writing and poems. Alec looked down at his laptop and smiled as he finished his first chapter of his story of the son of Dracula.

“Miyavi, is it?” He held out his pale hand to me and waited for me to make the decision. I thought about it for only a moment and made my decision , I wanted this, I didn't care if I was throwing away my life, I loved him and always will.

Hopefully one day he will to find his true love whether it be some one he knows, or some one he has yet to meet.
