Dracula #castlevania: Nocturne Novels & Stories

Far away, a single violin string quivered, then held, a drawn breath waiting to be spent. Dracula let my wrist go. The room exhaled. “Very well,” he said, voice soft enough to make the hair at my nape lift. “You want a choice? I will give her one.” He stepped back once, hands at his sides, the dark around him drawing closer like a cloak. His eyes were no longer crimson; they were something colder, a winter metal polished too bright. “Evelyn,” he said without looking away from Elias, “ask yourself which of us is lying to you.”

When the movements inside the castle begins to increase, I look at Drake. “How long until sunset?” I ask him. “Twenty minutes.” I stand and Riley comes to stand beside me. “Is it time?” Riley asks. “Nearly,” I say seeing ten auras race out of the castle. I blast them, hearing their screeches as they turn to dust. “If they didn’t know before, they do now,” Alpha Leonardo says behind us. We hear the ear-piercing screech of a vampire calling to his clan inside the castle, preparing for battle.

Meeting a vampire in real life whose name was Damon. "Who?" He frowned. "Vampire Diaries. Ring a bell?" He shook his head. "Never mind then." I sighed. "My name is Damon Cullen," he stated. I gave him a long look. This was suspicious. "Do you have someone named Edward Cullen in your family?" I questioned. "No, and I don't know why you're stating all of these names. Besides, I don't have a family." I got disappointed at his answer since I was kinda wishing he would've said yes. His whole existence is just a huge coincidence.

Maximus, Georgia, and Luna, standing as a united front, awaited Dracula's response. "I have observed the unfolding events with great interest," Dracula remarked. "The moonlit mark is a rare occurrence, and Luna's presence in this alliance is a testament to the intricate dance between werewolves and vampires. As you step into my castle, let it be known that the alliance between our packs and kingdoms will be tested and strengthened within these walls."

She was close to overpowering him when Darwin, with a cruel smirk, pulled a silver dagger from his cloak, hidden from her view. In a flash, he struck, plunging the dagger deep into her side. Anita gasped, her body convulsing in pain, her strength fading as the silver burned through her. Still, she managed to whisper a final vow, her voice steady even as her life ebbed away. “You may kill me,” she said, her words laced with quiet defiance. “But mark my words, Darwin—a Red Lycan more powerful than you can imagine will rise to avenge us. One day, she will come for you… and end this reign of betrayal.”

I immediately approached the man. "Is that true what you said earlier?" I asked vehemently. "Hah? Who are you?" asked the man confused. Hayley immediately approached us. She pulled me back a little."He's my acquaintance, Leo. So Mr. Eriksen, is it true about what you said earlier?”Hayley asked the man. “Yes, if I'm not mistaken they found an injured female vampire. They chased until a castle that turned out to be a den of vampires." "When did they attack the vampire?" I asked carefully.

Dracula had converged at the edge of his territory as he had been instructed to do. He was not alone. He came with all his new 6 Generals; Apollo, Jones, Tasha, Matthias, Kim and Cleopatra. He didn't know if she would show up tonight at midnight as she had earlier planned 2 weeks ago. He waited in the darkness of the night, only the full moon illuminating the night. It was now a quarter past midnight and Dracula had lost faith she would be coming as planned.

I introduce. Damon flicks his eyes over Lucas’s large frame, able to sense he’s a vampire right away. “Oh, uh, nice to meet you.” He extends his hand for Lucas to shake. Lucas raises one eyebrow and I elbow him in the ribs. Making a face, he reaches out and shakes Damon’s hand. “Crazy what’s been going on, isn’t it?” Damon says. “Yeah, it is. Are you guys headed home after this?” I motion to Kristy and Daniel.

Leah sighed. “Did you just insinuate that I’m so dark and twisty and secretive because I’m a vampire slayer?” She wasn’t wrong. Leah gave me a dark grin. “Just so long as the love interest is as hot as Angel.” I could throw her a bone. So I leaned in, speaking in a conspiratorial whisper. “So I need to tell you about Isaac.” She stood up and squealed, dancing a bit. “Oh! Your vampire?” “Better,” I giggled. “Werewolf.”

Silas, drawing upon his centuries-old expertise, sought to decipher the nature of the impending onslaught. Chastity, her instincts heightened by the mate bond, sensed the convergence of vampiric forces. The battlefield transformed into a realm of shadow and malevolence, witnessed the clash of supernatural energies as Dylan and his elders unleashed their true power. The outcome of this arcane confrontation would shape the fate of both Lycans and vampires, with the moon bearing witness to the unfolding struggle.
