Drama Club Vampire Chapter 3

At the top of an apartment building sat a room whose lights were always kept dim and curtains always shut. In the corner sat a tall man with long maroon bangs, glasses, and a suit vest. He rocked back and forth nervously.

“We can’t let he master see the precious…no…no…masters will takes it from us. We can’ts let hims takes it from us…no…wes must KILL masters!”

“What are you doing Maxwell?” a mans voice came from directly behind him.

“Ahh!!” Maxwell jumped from his position, turning around to find Drake was home. “Ma-master Drake! Are you finished tonight’s scavenging?”

Drake looked around the filthy apartment before eyeing his butler. He easily noticed Maxwell was hiding something. He held out his hand flat, “Let me have it.”

“Oh…but…but…”

“Let me have it James Maxwell.”

The man revealed a Game boy from behind his back and placed it in Drake’s hand. Drake looked at the screen quickly. “How many did you catch tonight?” Drake inquired.

“I’m up to 350 tonight sir!” Maxwell smiled, giving a quick salute.

“That’s 10 more than last night….not bad.”

“You…aren’t going to punish me for not cleaning the apartment?”

“Eh, what do I care? You have your fun. I told them anyway that I didn’t need a caretaker.”

“Oh, you are so much kinder than your father!” Maxwell said, hugging Drake. Drake struggled for a moment to break free, and brushed himself off.

“I’ve had enough of that today already.”

“Does that mean your new classmates like you?”

“If I want them to, they will.” Drake smirked.

“I’m happy for you Master Drake.” Maxwell said, bowing. “If there’s anything I can do for you-“

“There is.”

“Hmm?”

A few blocks away, in another apartment decorated with pink curtains, Alexi sat in front of her Vanity mirror.

“Oh….I really hope I get that part…” she said, imagining herself as Ellie. In the mirror, she saw herself in a pink dress and long blonde extensions. A man came up from behind her, covering himself with his cape. She turned, and smiled.

“You came to visit me again.” Ellie smiled.

“I…I had to. I don’t know why…but I can’t get you out of my mind…”

“May I…see your face?”

“This cape may be the only thing stopping me from biting you…”

“I trust you.”

The man removed his cape, showing off his blue tinted skin and short black haircut. Ellie came up close to him, and moved in for the kiss….

The phone rang.

“Wagh!” Alexi shouted as she snapped out of her dream. She put down the pillow she was about to kiss, and answered her phone. “Hello? Oh, hey Izzy! What’s up? No way! Really? 5 women? Bite marks? That sounds crazy. You’re making this up, aren’t ya? No, I wasn’t here an hour ago. You tried to call? I went out to the store. No no, I was fine. Nothing happened. Don’t worry about it. I was safe. I’ll talk to ya tomorrow. Night Izzy.”

Alexi hung the phone up and began thinking to herself.

“I was safe…I should thank him tomorrow.”

“She resisted your charms?” Maxwell questioned.

“Completely” Drake sighed. “I don’t get it. I got women in that school fainting at the sound of my voice. Why is she not?”

“Did you try that hypnotic glare of yours?”

“Got nothing.”

“Maybe you should pounce on her then.”

“Tried that.”

“Hmm…” Maxwell pondered.

“Is there a type of human who can resist these?”

“Clergymen.”

“Yeah, that must be it.” Drake said sarcastically. “Why is it always me who has these kind of problems?”

“Come now, your father did too” Maxwell laughed, “How else do you think he met your mother?”

“My mother resisted his techniques too?” Drake questioned.

“Yup! She was one incredibly strong willed human!” Maxwell giggled. “Oh! Maybe this is a sign this is your special someone-“

Drake shoved his foot into Maxwell’s mouth. “Watch it. I’m not in the mood for jokes.”

Maxwell just smiled best he could and in a muffled voice uttered “Sorry Master”.

Drake removed his foot, and sat back in his chair. “I’ll need to research this more. Luckily, thanks to this play I can observe-“

“Oh! Master Drake! You’re in a play?”

“Err…yeah. Let’s not talk about-“

“What’s it called? What’s it about? Come on! Tell me!”

“……Dracula….”

“…..what?”

“It’s called Dracula: Moonlight Romance….” Drake frowned.

Maxwell paused for a minute, staring at Drake, his mouth open. His mouth twitched up, until he was in semi-smirk. He snorted a little, and before he knew it, he burst out laughing.

“….I’m going to bed.” Drake frowned as he got up, walking over Maxwell who was now on the floor rolling with laughter.

As Drake reached his room, he started thinking to himself. “That girl…I will bite her.” He opened his door, and disappeared into the darkness that was his room.
