Vampyre Romance
By Rin Ochala

Prologue

I stood in the moonlit cemetery with indescribable feelings. My onyx black hair blew with the screaming wind, the black lace veil brushed against my face. I looked up at the moon and watched as storm clouds form. Rain drops began to kiss my veil covered face and I closed my jade green eyes for a moment as I felt a steely cold hand grab my left hand. I opened my eyes to see Damien staring at me; his raven shoulder hair lingered over his pale face, his hypnotic jade green eyes pierced right through me. I couldn’t move I was frozen in place by his gaze as he grinned revealing his canine fangs. I shivered as he leaned into me. My heart raced as thoughts began to fly through my mind, ‘Was this what I really wanted? Become a Princess of The Night? Give up my mortal life and start a new one as the bride of a vampyre? How did this happen? How did I come to fall in love with a vampyre?’ I asked myself as I felt Damien’s hot breath on the nape of my neck.

Chapter 1: Enter Caitlyn Ochala

Hi my name is Caitlyn Elvira Ochala but my friends and family call me Caite. I’m fifteen I’ll be sixteen in three months. I have jade green eyes, pale skin and jet black hair. Ever since I was a little girl I’ve always been fascinated by the supernatural, like faeries, demons, mermaids, witches but mostly Vampyres! They fascinate me the most, to be able to fly as a bat to be able to see the world through their eyes, to be one of them to be a Vampyre that’s my dream and it always has.

The day of my birth is also the day of my mother’s death, my mother was a mortal witch* and my father was mortal as well making me and my older brother Sam natural born witches. I was born in a cemetery, my mom was trying to hide from demons, and demons can’t find witches when they’re in cemeteries I was born in a mausoleum in front of my ancestor Elvira Warren’s tombstone.

Elvira Warren was a half-witch and half-vampyre that’s how I got my middle name after I was born my mom hid me behind my ancestor’s tombstone my dad Samuel came in unknowingly leading the demons to my mother. But before she died she told him that I was hidden behind the tomb. He went against her wish and changed my name to Caitlyn and made Elvira my middle name, he took me to meet my two and a half year old brother Samuel. He knew that demons would come after me and my brother so he decided to take me and my brother to our Aunts’ house.

He told my Aunts that if I didn’t gain any powers when I’m older to contact him so I can go live with him. My mom was the youngest of a set four but was the second to get married and have kids. My Aunts Carmen, Camille, and Christine took very good care of us they taught us everything they knew about being a witch and about the supernatural. My brother was able to activate his powers at six years old while I still have yet to activate mine. He can freeze time, blink* astral projection*, heal, and much more.

My Aunt Carmen also has the power to freeze time as well blow up things. My Aunt Camille has the power to see into the future and past as well has set things on fire and fly. My Aunt Christine has the power to blink, heal, and create force fields. My mom had the power telekinesis, telepathy, healing, invisibility, and shape shifting, control the weather and she had the power to detect if a person is good, evil or has been corrupted by evil, and she also had the power to tell if a person is a human or magical or is a demon.

My Aunt Carmen is married to a white-lighter* named Eric and has two sons Tyler and Trevor they go by Trev and Ty. My Aunt Camille is married to a dark lighter* named Alexander and has one daughter named Alexis she goes by Lexi or Lex. My Aunt Christine is married to a human named Greg and has no kids. My Aunts taught us everything about our lineage. Sam and I did everything together we caused double the trouble and because of this our Aunts gave us these nicknames ‘The Mischievous Duo, The Troublesome Twosome, and Double Trouble.’ My Aunts told me that on my thirteenth birthday my powers should awaken.

But they were wrong when my thirteenth birthday came and my powers didn’t awaken, they became worried and that’s the day my life turned upside down. My Aunts were beginning to fear that I might have no powers at all. But they quickly dismissed that because they’re human and have powers and so did my brother. My Aunts then believed that I was cursed they thought because I was born in a cemetery and in front of my ancestor’s tomb that something must of went wrong during labor. My Aunts also believed that the reason I’m sp fascinated by vampyres was because I was born in front of my half witch half vampyre ancestor and because my mother originally named me after her and that must have instantly bonded me with my ancestor and her love for vampyres. My Aunt Carmen always told me about that I looked exactly like my ancestor, she told me everything she knew about Elvira Warren and I loved it whenever she told me about my past life.

Elvira Warren was born in Salem, California during the time of the Salem Witch Hunt. She was the daughter of our legacy Lucinda Warren a mortal witch and her pure vampyre mate Alan Stone. Elvira was born with jet black hair, ghost pale skin, and emerald green eyes. Elvira had the face and body of a goddess of the night. She had all of my mother, Aunts, and brother’s powers, she was more in love with her vampyre self than her witch self.
On her sixteenth birthday both her witch and vampyre powers awakened they awakened in this following sequence. Time freeze, blink, telepathy, shape shifting, pyro path, telekinesis, force fields, invisibility, super strength, astral projection, super speed, premonitions, empathy, terra, animal speak, heal, scream, inner sight, mind control, and detect. Elvira was the strongest half witch vampyre that lived. At age seventeen she was known through out the world. Every male vampyre sought her out as their bride, but not of them got her to agree to their marriage proposals except one.
On her eighteenth birthday she met and fell in love with a powerful half vampyre named Nathaniel Black. Nathaniel was half human half vampyre he was Elvira’s equal he was exactly like Elvira except he was evil. Elvira didn’t care she was in love with him and to her that was all that mattered.

Although her entire family was against it Elvira and Nathaniel married each other on all Hollow’s Eve, right after they were married Nathaniel told Elvira’s entire family that he was taking Elvira back to Romania and that they weren’t allowed to have any contact with Elvira ever again. Nathaniel was that kind of vampyre the kind that would steal a young maiden from her family and friends, the kind that took her blood as his. A few months later after Elvira was taken to Romania she found out she was pregnant, Nathaniel was thrilled but when she told him that she wanted her mother to help care for the child. He became furious and violently beat her. Upset and frightened Elvira fled back to America and begged her family for help but they ignored her pleas for help.
Except her parents they cared for her during her pregnancy on the day of her children’s birth Nathaniel returned. He was enraged with Elvira but he still loved her. Elvira’s parents fought him and lost their lives trying protect her, Elvira fled her parents home with three babies, Holly, Hailey, and Henry. She hid her children in her cousins Lana and Evan’s home.

There she vanquished Nathaniel after she vanquished him she killed herself because she was afraid; she would hurt her children like Nathaniel had hurt her. Lana and Evan raised her kids with lots of love and care. Elvira Warren was a princess of the night who fell in love with an evil vampyre who took her away from her family and friends, beat her, he destroyed her and that led her to kill herself to protect her children from herself. Elvira Warren my ancestor, my idol my dream was her life, to be a princess of the night, to be a vampyre that’s my dream. “Caite! Caite! Hey are you dreaming again?!” yelled Jade Madison my best friend who is a gothic like me. She snapped her fingers in front of my face. “Huh? Oh sorry I was daydreaming again!” I said with a smile as I turned on my guitar amplifier. “No kidding! I was yelling your name for like five minutes trying to get your attention! So Caite what were daydreaming about?” asked Jade with a grin as she took my electric guitar from me and placed my microphone headset on me. “About Elvira Warren.” I replied as I adjusted the headset I turned and looked at the crowd staring at us. I knew what they were thinking they thought we were freaks but my band and I were going to play for them anyway. I walked up to the edge of the stage “Hi my name is Caite and this is my band Vampyre Wish the first song we’re going to perform is called My Bleeding Heart!” I said with a grin as I began singing. The entire crowds’ jaws dropped in amazement they walked up to the stage for a closer look. Some people jumped up and down others danced to the music and some screamed our band’s name. I looked over at Jade she grinned at me I smiled back. We were on our way to becoming famous.

I stood in the cemetery of Salem, California, it was midnight and the howling wind blew my hair into my face. I clutched my oval locket with mixed feelings. As I stared at the place of my birth and my mother’s death. “Well, well what a tasty looking human.” Said a seductive voice from behind I spun around to see a dark figure hiding within the shadows concealed by the fog. My heart raced in fear, “Huh? Am I dreaming? It’s you you’re the girl from my dreams.” Said the dark figure from within the shadows. “W-Who are you?” I stuttered as I clutched the locket even tighter, the wind blew away the fog unmasking the dark figure. My eyes widen in disbelief as I saw the true identity of the mysterious figure.

There stood before was a young man his shoulder length raven black hair lingered over his ghost pale face. He wore black cargo pants with jet green seams and chains lingered from his pockets. He wore a black muscle shirt that with red words that said “Bite Me I Dare You” He also wore a spiked choker necklace. The wind blew his raven hair out of his face; my eyes widen with mixed emotions as he lifted his head and looked at me he grinned seductively. His jade green eyes pierced right through me, I shivered not because cause of his gaze but because of his fangs that were smiling at me. “W-Who are you?” I repeated myself with fear he grinned at me. “Who am I? I’m your prince of darkness.” He said with a seductive grin. I shivered in fear “M-My prince of darkness?” I stuttered with confusion. “CAITLYN!” a voice yelled, my eyes widen with fear as I awoke from my slumber. “CAITYLN WAKE UP!” yelled Aunt Carmen from the bottom of the stairs I sighed with annoyance as I stumbled out of my bed. “Caitlyn Hurry up and Get Ready Today’s Your First Day Back to School and I Don’t Want You to Be Late like Last Year!” she yelled.

I yawned as I stripped myself of my PJS’ I grabbed my towel and wrapped it around my body and walked into the bathroom and began to take my shower. Twenty minutes later I was downstairs in my black skeleton sweatshirt over two black tops one spaghetti strap and the other was a long sleeve top over my spaghetti strapped one and it reached two or three inches below my breasts. I had two metal stud belts over one another and a black short skirt that had arch shaped cuts at the bottom, sheer black stockings and black combat boots. I was wearing black eye shadow, eyeliner, mascara, nail polish and lipstick. I grabbed an apple and ran out the door. I frowned as I watched the bus pulled away from my driveway. Jade stood at the end of my driveway waiting for me I ran over to her and sighed. “Sorry I’m late but you could have gotten on the bus and left me Jade. You shouldn’t be late for school because of me.” I said in sorrow. “It’s ok besides I’d rather be late than not be with you after all you are my best friend.” Said Jade as she gave me a hug.

“Yo Caite, Jade need a ride?” yelled Trev as he Ty and Lexi pulled up in his red convertible. Jade and I nodded as we jumped over the back door and landed in the backseat next to Lexi. “Oh hey Jade you won’t believe what kind of a dream I had last night.” I said as we drove off. “Ooh do tell and don’t leave out any details.” She said with interest as she played with my hair. “Well I was in the cemetery it was midnight and it was very windy and foggy.” I replied as I began to tell my best friend about my dream. “And I was alone or at least I thought I was.. Here’s the best part there was this vampyre! He had ghost pale skin, raven black hair and these hypnotic Jade green eyes. He wore a black muscle shirt. And he had some nice muscles! Anyway his shirt had red lettering and they said “Bite Me I Dare You!” And he wore black cargo pants with jet green seams, chains were hooked from his belt and were in his pockets, and spiked wristbands and a choker necklace! Oh My Goth Jade he was a total hunk even for a vampire.” I said with a girly sigh. “Last and not least he said he was my prince of darkness!” I squealed Trev looked at me through the rear view mirror and grinned. “Sounds like you had a premonition!” Trev said with a smile I glared at him. “Yeah right Trev how many times do I have to tell you I don’t have powers.” I growled at him he smiled at my remark. “I’m not surprise that you would have a premonition Caite.” Trev said with a grin, Ty turned and looked back at me with a smile. “Yeah me too it’s not unusual for a witch whose power didn’t awake when they turned thirteen. To start having early symptoms of their dormant powers a couple months before their sixteenth birthday. Caite you’re what we call a late bloomer.” Ty said with a grin as he and the rest of us grabbed our backpacks and got out of the car.

I sighed as Jade and I began walking up the steps to the entrance of Salem High. Jade and I walked through the halls of Salem High looking for our lockers. “Oh my goth Caite look my locker is right next to yours!” Jade squealed I looked at her schedule papers. “That’s awesome but you want to know was even more awesome” I said with a grin she looked at me in confusion “What Is?” she asked my grin grew even more “We almost have every class together for the entire year the only ones we don’t have is science and art.” I replied she squealed and hugged me in joy. “THAT’S WONFERFUL!” she screamed I smiled in joy as we hugged each other. We opened our lockers and put our book bags in them then we took out our school supplies along with our purses.
We closed our lockers and headed for our Homeroom class which also is our English class. On our way we saw our friends, Jessie and Kat two of our friends, Jessie is a gothic like us but Kat is a punk. We talked to them as we walked into Homeroom and took our seats in the very back we all sat next to each other and talked. “Eww Look What The Grim Reaper Dragged In! It’s The Freak Squad!” sneered Mina Cook a preppy cheerleader who use to be my friend until she became popular she used to be such a nice girl now she’s nothing but a heartless bitch. “Hey Freaks! It’s Not Halloween So Why Are You Dressed Up?” Chuckled Brett Rivers as he walked up to me. Brett Rivers is the star football player of Salem High, He has wanted me ever since the 5th grade he can get every girl he wants yet he wants the one of the gothic chicks who won’t date him everyone in the school knows he wants me they just wonder if he’ll ever get me and the chances of that are NEVER!

He smiled at me seductively I have to admit he is hot his short brown hair always slicked back with his deep brown puppy eyes with his ever so nice perfect tan skin he was a hottie but he was also a jerk. He placed his hands on my shoulders and leaned into me his hot breathe on my neck sent chills down my spine. “I saw your performance last week at the park and I have to say for a gothic chick like you, you were quite good.” He whispered in my ear as he stroked my hair off my ear and my neck. “You sang like an angel! And it surprised me! Tell me Caitie is the gothic look a disguise? Deep down beneath all that black is the real Caitlyn Ochala? The Caite that is dying to be my girlfriend the Caite who is actually an Angel and not a bat? Is that what you are Caite an Angel in disguise?” He whispered seductively as he bent down and smelled my perfume. “That’s just a fantasy you wish was true!” I said as I pushed his face away from me. He chuckled and walked away and sat in the seat behind me. I tapped my black nails on my desk in annoyance, “Great… just great school is gonna suck again.” I sighed to myself softly.


One month later its October 30th only one day until my sixteenth birthday I’m so excited. ‘I have a feeling Jade is gonna plan me a birthday party!’ “sst Hey Caite!” whispered Jade as she waited for Miss Reilly our English teacher to arrive. “What?” I asked as I wrote in my journal. “You know that mansion you like.” She said I looked at her with curiosity, “You mean the own that belonged to my ancestor Elvira Warren?” I asked she nodded. “Yeah I heard that a family of vampires moved in last week and they have a son who is going to attend Salem!” She said to me with a wicked grin and watched as my emerald green eyes widen in shock.
“Good Morning Class! Before we begin I have announcement I’d like to make.” Said Miss Reilly Jade and I looked at each other then at her with interest. “We have a new student joining us and I’d like it if you tried to make him feel welcome? Alright Damien you make come in now.” Said Miss Reilly my eyes widen in disbelief there stood in front of the classroom was the guy from my dream. He wore a black muscle shirt with jet green lettering that said “I leave bite marks!” and black cargo pants with jet green seams, a spiked belt, with a chain hooked to his belt and lingered inside his left pocket, he wore a barbed wire wrist band with thorns on it on his left wrist, and a spiked leather wrist band on the other, a bat shaped watch next to it, and a spiked choker necklace and black army boots.

He also had some rings on his left hand. “Oh My Goth Jade! That’s Him! That’s the vampyre from my dream!” I whispered to her “Wow! Really?” she whispered back. Damien glanced the around the classroom before his eyes fell on her. “W-Wow She’s Beautiful!” Damien thought to himself as he continued to stare in Caite’s direction. “Ok Class who here would like to show Damien around?” Miss Reilly asked she frowned when no one raised their hand. “Caite how about you? Would you be willing to show our new classmate around?” She asked with a smile I looked at her for a moment then I glanced at Damien he smiled at me and gave a small wave.

“Yeah Witch Girl show our new classmate around, you might just get yourself a boyfriend not unless you scare him away with your obsession with vampyres!” Mina said with a chuckle the entire class laughed except for my friends. “Hey if he did become her boyfriend it would probably because she put him under spell!” laughed Courtney Hollins again the class laughed at me. “Yeah you’re right Court! The Witch Girl is such a freak that she can never get a boyfriend unless they’re under a spell!” Mina added with a wretched laugh, everyone was laughing at me. “Hey leave her alone! If it weren’t for Caite’s mother none of you be alive so give her some slack!” Jade yelled in anger everyone went silent and looked at me quietly.

“At least I have a mom!” said Mina with cruel glare I bit my lip as I got up from my seat and ran towards the door in tears. Jade stood up from her chair and screamed “Caite! Caite Wait!” but it was too late I had already ran out of the classroom. Damien stared at everyone in shock he gave them all icy glares. “How cold hearted are you people? How can you sleep at night knowing you hurt a girl’s feelings especially a girl whose mother is deceased! What if your mother was dead how would you feel if someone made fun of you because your mother was dead! That’s just cruel!” he yelled as he ran out of the room and ran into the hallway. “Caite! Hey Caite!” he yelled as he walked through the halls of Salem he stopped at the stairs when he heard crying he turned and looked up the stairs to see me sitting on the top the of the stairs crying.

He slowly walked up the stairs towards me, “Hey are you alright?” He asked me kindly as he sat down on the stairs next to me, I wiped my eyes with my sleeve my mascara, and eyeliner had smeared. I looked at him quietly as he smiled ever so kindly he was hot and much hotter than Brett he was so hot I couldn’t describe him. “Hey are you ok?” he asked with kindness I nodded as I sniffled my nose hurt “Yeah I’m fine, I get picked on all the time it’s just it hurts when they talk about my mother.” I whispered he looked at me and pulled out a black lace handkerchief “That’s wasn’t right of them, to make fun of you like that and here I thought you were the most popular girl in the school.” He whispered as he placed the handkerchief on my face and began to wipe around my eyes with care. “Me? Popular? Yeah right I’m far from popular I’m just a gothic freak who comes from a line of witches!” I chuckled he smiled at me as he stopped wiping my messed up eye makeup. “Wow you’re very pretty I don’t know how you’re not the most popular girl here but you are sure the prettiest one here!” He said with a sweet grin I blushed at his comment as I pulled out my eye makeup and my compact mirror and began redoing my makeup.

“No I’m not oh yeah I’m Caite, Caitlyn Elvira Ochala but you can call me Caite!” I said to him as I finished redoing my makeup and smiled at myself in my compact mirror. “I’m Damien, Damien Seaton Daesh you can call me Damien.” He said with a small laugh ‘and it was a gorgeous laugh too’ I smiled at him as I extended my hand for a hand shake except he didn’t shake it he wrapped his hand around mine and pulled up to his mouth and kissed it. I blushed in surprise, “There you are!” Jade said from the bottom of the stairs she was smiling, she began to walk up the stairs toward us. “I’ve been looking all over for you! I just wanted you to know that Miss Reilly gave Mina and Courtney detention! Anyway we have to go to next period I have to go to social studies but you biology with Mr. Guzzi.” She said as she gave me my books I smiled at her as I stood up she gave me a tight hug then took off when the bell rang.

I looked at Damien and smiled “Well come on Damien we have to get to class where are you heading now?” I asked he looked at me and pulled out his schedule paper and handed it to me, I looked at it for a moment as I read his schedule for the school year I gasped. “What’s wrong?” he asked as he stared at me I smiled at him as I handed back his schedule.

“Nothing it’s just you and I are in the same classes for the entire year! Let’s go to your locker so you can get your stuff then we have to hurry and get to Mr. Guzzi’s class he hates it when people are late and gives them lunch detention if they are!” I said I ran down the stairs he followed me quietly as he lead me to his locker. It was only three lockers down from mine which shocked me he opened and grabbed his stuff. I smiled at him as I grabbed his hand and ran like a track star we made it to Mr. Guzzi’s class early. Damien took the seat next to me.

Mr. Guzzi came into the classroom with a smile. “Goood Morning Class!” he said with a broad smile he looked at me in shock then smiled. “Caite you’re on time for once! Let’s keep it that way!” he said then he looked at Damien and smiled at him. “So you must be Damien our new student!” he said to Damien, Damien smiled at him and nodded. “Yes Sir I am. My name is Damien Daesh!” Damien said as he got up from his seat and gave Mr. Guzzi a firm hand shake. Mr. Guzzi nodded at Damien, “Mr. Daesh you and Ms. Ochala here are going to be lab partners for the rest of the year is that ok?”

He asked us we nodded in unison. “Alright class today we’re going to take notes on botany.” Mr. Guzzi said as he began to write on the board. While we were writing down our notes Damien passed me a small folded piece of paper I looked at it. Then I slowly opened the piece of paper and read the secret note. “Hey Caite I was wondering would you like to go out with me tomorrow morning?” I looked at it quietly for a quick second and wrote on it.
I can’t sorry.
Why Not?
I’m busy unfortunately
Oh… Ok
His hand writing was beautiful it was so elegant and old fashioned it made me wonder where he lived before he came to Salem. But the thing was I wasn’t busy at all I just didn’t want go out with him so quickly especially seeing how I saw him in my dream and I hardly knew him. Not to mention that he is a vampyre. The day went by fast before I knew it I was back in Ty’s convertible heading home.

Chapter 2: Halloween Caite’s bittersweet sixteen

A day later it’s now October 31 and it’s a Saturday and it is my sixteenth birthday.
“Morning Everyone!” I said with a yawn as I put my arms up to stretch. I let out a scream from shock and fear because my uncles Luke, Alex, and Eric were frozen. Aunt Carmen, Christine, Camille all ran over to me Aunt Camille and Christine wrapped their arms around me to comfort me. Aunt Carmen waved her hand at my uncles and they unfroze they looked around in confusion and said in union “Uh… What just happened?” Aunt Carmen smiled at them happily, “Caitlyn just froze you her power are beginning to awaken isn’t that wonderful?” she said with grin. I squirmed my way out of my Aunts’ embrace, I closed my eyes and thought of my bedroom.

I opened my eyes to see my bedroom I screamed in shock for I had just teleported. I heard the footsteps coming up the stairs. Aunt Carmen opened my door with a smile of delight as gave me a hug. “Oh Sweetie there’s nothing to be afraid of. You’ll learn to control your powers.” She said softly. ‘Thank god she got her powers now I don’t have to call her father.’ Thought Carmen. “What You Were Going To Call My Father if I Didn’t Get Any Powers?” I screamed as I pushed her away from me she looked at me in shock and whispered “Telepathy.” I turned away from her and thought how nice it would be if I was bat how I could just fly away.

“CAITLYN!” Aunt Camille screamed I fell on my bed in confusion she looked at me and whispered. “You shape shifted.” I sat up and swung my legs over on the side of my bed I looked at my hands and began to wince in pain my hands felt like they were on fire. I watched as my pale hands burst into flames, I looked over at a water bottle that sat on my computer desk I thought of the water bottle pouring the water on my hands taking out the flames. The next thing I noticed was the water bottle hovering in the air pouring water onto my hands putting out the flames.

My Aunts and uncles stared at me I looked at them silently and watched them whisper “Elvira.” My eyes widened with confusion as I followed them upstairs to the attic where the Book of Shadows was. My Aunts stood behind the book and said “Elvira.” I watched as the pages turned by themselves until they stopped at Elvira Warren. “Time freeze, Blink, Telepathy, Shape shifting, Pyropath, Telekinesis.” Aunt Carmen read from the book Camille looked up at me. “That’s the same sequence that Caitlyn’s powers are awakening.” She said with concerned Aunt Christine crossed her arms and frowned at me. “I always had a feeling that Caitlyn might be Elvira’s reincarnation.” She said with a look of disgust. I looked at them in confusion.

“W-What’s going on?” I asked my Aunts looked at me with straight faces. “Caitlyn dear you’re Aunts and I have always had a feeling that you might be Elvira’s reincarnation.” Aunt Carmen said I looked at them with mixed feelings, Aunt Camille walked up to me and handed me a piece of paper, I took it from her and looked at it I was very bewildered. “I wrote down the sequence that your other powers will awaken in Caitie dear.” She whispered kindly.

I looked at the sheet quietly before releasing a long sigh; I turned away and walked out of the attic. I walked down the stairs and out of the house I needed to get some fresh air. While I was taking a walk I decided to take Damien up on his offer about going out, I slowly made my way up to the Warren mansion. I stopped at the gates and stared at it for a quick second then I tugged on the gates to see if they were unlocked they weren’t. I sighed in annoyance then began to climb up the iron gates at the peak of the gates I looked over my shoulder and stared down at the pavement. It seemed like a good height to drop down from without hurting myself.

I let go of the bars and did a flip in the air and landed safely on my feet. I smiled ‘Wow all those years in gymnastics really paid off.’ I thought to myself as I made my way up to the mansion door. I knocked on it three times I waited for a minute then turned to leave when I heard the door slowly creek open. I tilted my head over my shoulder in fear I gasped as my eyes met the gaze of tall old man with ghostly pale skin, beady blue eyes, his hair was black at the bottom and white at the top on his sides. “Oh, Hello Miss may I ask who you are and what you’re doing here so early in the morning?” He asked his voice was deep and kind he had thick Transylvanian accent, I knew he was from Transylvania because of my huge obsession with vampyres, I faltered for a quick moment before turning around completely.

“Uh… Hi my name is Caite Ochala I’m a friend of Damien’s I’m sorry for trespassing but I completely forgot you guys moved into my ancestor Elvira Warren’s Mansion.” I lied to him to make him believe that I honestly didn’t mean to trespass. He smiled at me and opened the door wider and extended his hand inside the mansion. “lease do come in I’m sure young Lord Damien would be delighted to see you Miss Ochala.” Said the butler I glanced passed him and into the mansion I haven’t been inside it since I was younger so I was curious if they changed anything in the mansion. It would hurt me if they did because I loved it the way it was.

Cautiously I walked into the mansion. “Oh please forgive me Miss Ochala I forgot to introduce myself my name is Joel Kingman and I’m the butler.” He said as he extended his hand to me I grabbed it and gave it a firm shake. “lease wait here.” Joel said as he walked away I waited patiently for Damien. I pulled my hair into a high ponytail, “Good Morning Caite.” Said Damien as he descended down the long staircase I smiled and gave him a small wave. He sighed as he jumped on the railing and slid down. He jumped and landed before me, “Sorry it was taking too long.”

He said with a wink I giggled at his comment. “You Look Beautiful.” He said with a warm fanged smile I blushed lightly “Um… Thank You!” I replied with light smile. “Good Morning My Son.” Said a warm voice Damien and I turned around and looked up toward the top of the stairs. Where a gorgeous woman stood, she had snow white skin, emerald green eyes, crimson colored lips, pearl white teeth not to mention fangs, long onyx black hair that flowed all the way to her ankles, and a long sleeve black dress. She smiled and slowly made her way down to us. “S-She’s beautiful!” I whispered with admiration, she gave Damien a kiss on the forehead then she looked at me with a ‘Huh we have guests?’ look. My eyes widen as a man appeared beside the woman, he also had ghost pale skin, and sapphire blue eyes, snow white teeth, raven black hair pulled back into a ponytail. He wore a long black casual sleeve button down shirt like a work tee-shirt and black work pants with black polished boots.

He kissed the woman on the lips he then looked at Damien and smiled. “Vhy Good Morning Son.” He said with his thick Transylvanian accent made his voice made him even more handsome. “Good Morning Father, Mother.” Damien replied to his parents warmly his father looked at me for a quick second. “Vhy Who Is This Charming Young Lady?” He asked with a broad grin Damien’s cheeks turn light pink for a quick moment before fading away. “This is Caite Ochala she’s a friend from school.”

He said I blushed lightly as I curtseyed . “It’s very nice to meet you Mr. and Mrs. Daesh!” I said to them with a warm smile, I looked up to see that they had odd looks on their faces. “My, my, what an elegant young girl. My name is Serenity it’s very nice to meet you, dear.” Said Serenity with a gorgeous smile. “Well it’s not every day you meet a teenager with such good manners.

"My name is Alucard and it’s a pleasure to meet you.” Said Alucard with a grin my eyes widened with disbelief as I clapped my hands together. “Y-You’re Him! You’re Really Him! You’re The Legendary Count… You’re Dracula! I’m A Huge Fan Of Yours! Oh My Goth I Can’t Believe I’m Friends With The Son Of The Legendary Count Dracula!” I said with admiration Alucard and the other exchange weird looks. “Ah Ha, Ha, Oh My Goth? That’s A New One! And I’m Delighted To Know I Have A Fan!” laughed Alucard Damien looked at me for a moment then smiled. “Hey Father is it just me or does Caite look like Lady Elvira?” asked Damien I looked at him with mixed emotions.

‘Huh how does he know about Elvira Warren?’ I asked myself Alucard and Serenity took a long look at me. “Now then you mentioned she looks exactly like Lady Elvira! I wonder if she’s a direct descendant?” said Serenity with a smile Alucard nodded in agreement. I blushed as I placed my hand on my hair tie and gently tugged it out my hair fell to my waist just above my butt. I smiled at them “Actually I am a descendant of Elvira Warren, in fact this is her mansion.” I said with a slight grin Damien and his parents looked at in disbelief. Then Serenity glanced around the room as if she were looking for something or someone she then turned Damien. “Um… Damien have you seen your brother Darren?” she asked before Damien could reply we heard loud footsteps we looked up to see a young boy with ghost pale skin, deep blue eyes, spiked onyx black hair and pearl white teeth he wore a black tee-shirt with red lettering that said “Vampyres Suck.” black cargo shorts with red seams, black Chuck Taylors.

He looked down at us he laughed as he jumped of the rail. “Yahoo!” He yelled as he came closer and closer toward us. He fell on top of me knocking me down to the ground; he sat on my stomach and took a long look at me then laughed. “Wow! Big Brother Was Right! You Really Are Pretty!” He laughed happily as he sat on me some more Damien ran over and pulled his little brother of me. “What Do You Think You’re Doing?” Damien yelled I got up and brushed myself off. “What?” whined Darren as Damien punched his brother on the top of his head in annoyance. “You Know What!” yelled Damien I look at them for a moment. “Oww That Hurt! What’s your problem Brother I was just playing around.” Complained Darren as he rubbed his head in pain. “It’s Ok Damien he was just playing around no need to get mad.” I said with a smile Darren looked at me with crush-like eyes; Damien sighed with annoyance.
“So Damien you're not an only child.” I said with a small laugh Damien put his hands in his pockets. “Yeah I’m the oldest Darren is the second youngest.” He said I looked at him in confusion. “Second Youngest? Wait you mean you have more siblings?” I asked Damien nodded “Yeah I’m the first then its Haden and Natara then its Darren and lastly Aianna.” I gave him an incredulous look Damien and his family looked at me with smiles. “Boys and Girls of every age wouldn’t you like to see something strange? Come with us and you’ll see this old town of Halloween."

"Huh? Oh no I wonder whose calling?” I said as I pulled my purse down from my shoulder cell phone from my purse. “This Is Halloween, This Is Halloween Everybody Scream, Everybody Scream!” I put it to my ear and answered it. “Hello?” “CAITLYN ELVIRA OCHALA WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?” yelled Aunt Carmen I winced in pain because my ears were ringing. “Calm down Aunt Carmen I’m at a friend’s house.” I replied with complete annoyance.

“DON’T YOU TELL ME TO CALM DOWN YOU LEFT THE HOUSE WITHOUT TELLING US!” yelled Aunt Carmen her voice was so high filled with intense anger. “Shut Up Hag! I Can Do Whatever I Like You’re Not My Mother So Stop Acting Like It!” I screamed in anger. “WHAT DID YOU SAY TO ME?! YOU ARE SO!” Carmen began. “Shut the hell up! You’re Not My Mom And You’re Not My Aunt So Why Don’t You Just Drop Dead!” I screamed as I hanged up with intense rage boiling through my veins. I shoved my cell phone into my purse I looked up to see Damien and his family staring at me in shock.

“Oh dear.” Whispered Serenity with concerned, I looked at them in embarrassment “I-I’m sorry I have to go!” I yelled as I turned and headed for the door. “Wait!” Damien screamed as he grabbed my wrist I turned and looked at him with various emotions. “Let go of me My Aunts are going to find me with their magick!” I yelled Damien and his family’s eyes widen in shock “Magick? So Wait That Means You’re Not Just A Mortal?” Damien questioned I smacked his hand away and shot him an icy glare. “No I’m Half Witch Now Leave Me Alone!” I screamed in tears and ran out the door “Caite!” Damien called after me Darren bent down and picked up a gold oval chain locket he looked at with curiosity and opened it and looked inside.

“Wow What A Beautiful Woman!” He said Damien and his parents looked at Darren with bewildered looks they walked over and looked the photo in the locket; they gasped in shock and disbelief. “Oh my, she looks just like Caite!” whispered Serenity “So that must mean that this woman is Caite’s mother.” Alucard added “Hey you don’t think Caite’s mother died or something do you?” asked Darren “Well yes Darren Caite’s mother is dead I mean why would Caite have a picture of her mother in her locket hmmm?” whispered Serenity. “And you can tell she’s dead just by looking at the picture son.” Alucard said Darren looked at the photo closely. “How?” He asked.

“The photo is old, look closely Darren if you close enough you can see that Caite’s mother is very young. She looks about seventeen or eighteen.” Said Serenity Damien sighed “And because yesterday at school a girl in my class made fun of Caite and then Caite’s friend Jade yelled at her saying if it weren’t for Caite’s mom they would all be dead and the girl who made fun of Caite said at least she has a mom unlike Caite it turned out that Caite’s mom died on her birthday.” Damien said to his family. He then snatched the locket from Darren’s hand and ran out the door to find Caite.
