Vlad stared at the tincture before he downed it gagging. According to every doctor he had the worlds worst case of Anemia. He took his steak rarer than most would and his canines were far more prominent than others but that was fine. His skin burned easier in the sun that was fine too! He didn’t have a job outside so he could avoid that. Life was good, he made decent pay enough to cover expenses and a bit to put away for the rainy day or when his health bill was too much. Fruit helped.... that was the part the doctors couldn’t explain, why the fruit alleviated the symptoms. He had always been pale and stick like, but he figured he just couldn’t keep on weight.

Sometimes he had nightmares, ones that passed through his mind and stayed in the far back. Visions of himself soaked in blood, the bodies so many bodies, the smell of fire, brimstone and everything laid to waste. A firey crown perched over his head and a cry of anguish from his lips as he sat back upon a twisted throne and looked on at his work before him. Made for a good DnD plot.

His service dog was an enormous fluffball named Cerberus, though he didn’t start out so big, what had once been a five pound fluff had become a hundred thirty pound mass of muscle and fluff. Cerberus was a very protective dog and while he says that he saved Cerberus it was the other way around. He still thinks it was a dream, there was no way that the dog’s mouth unhinged and swallowed a gun.

Days passed the same, either working at the Bar, tending his bees, or playing video games till the crack of dawn pierced his red-eyed gaze. He attended the local university and was making his way in getting a doctorate in History. Having been praised for his writing and essays. The most common was, “you must have lived there in a past life!!!” He chuckled but honestly his dreams were rather vivid of things he shouldn’t know. He specifically had latched onto history of Eastern Europe.

Vlad currently was shaking a martini up at his job, dressed like a bard he acted as bartender. For a twenty dollar tip one could have him sing from a choice of songs that were provided on a easel next to the jar. Songs like ‘What is Love?’, to ‘Careless Whisper’, all the way to ‘Bad Romance’. It was a busy night and the sounds of rolling dice filled the air.

[masters-of-voice]

Nikki stepped back when the door began to melt and worries it was those creatures that had dragged them in there,Layla was still out if it and Nikki knew she had to protect her sister, she stood ready and the moment a person appeared she punched it square in the face as hard as she could only to realize a second layer just who it was

"oh my gosh Ezra!? I'm so sorry I didn't- what are you doing here?! Oh my gosh" Nikki tried to look over his face to see how bad she had hurt him masters burst into laughter on the spot

[dracula-resurrected]

Ezra chuckled and swooped her down into a deep and passionate kiss. “Hello Nikki darling.”

Vlad was beyond brimming with a brilliant smile as he hurried over and hurried to Layla scooping her up. Don’t worry I’ve got you.” He told Layla. “We need to get her to Dr. Emelyne then. We need to get the streets cleared and hell sealed back up. Will you all help me? Please?” Vlad asked.

[geekhunter101]

Angela smiled at him

"as long as I get mjolnir back at the end" Angela said she thought the whole thing was cute "and my boyfriend where is Godwin?" Angela asked she would have thought he would have joined them by now

[dracula-resurrected]

The elevator door opened and Godwin Arthur stepped out guns blazing. “Aww we missed it... Babe!” He ran over to Angela. “There is my fine Warrior woman!”

Vlad took Layla and laid her on the nearest bed while Arthur hurried to her. Vlad put back on the bracer and looked around, “alright head count who is up who is down and who is ready to fight the hordes of Hell?”

[masters-of-voice]

"I think Layla is down" Nikki said still hugging Ezra happy to have someone familiar in her arms and not wanting to embarrass Vlad on front of his cool new friends

"give me something to fight with and I'm good to go"

"I never even got to participate so I'm good" Ben said masters shook his head

"no you're staying on base to help emelyne with the wounded. You're not even ready to face Christmas elves yet let alone demons of the Underworld"

[dracula-resurrected]

“Christmas elves are no joke!” Ezra said. “What they can deck your halls and slay you, don’t get me started with the Reindeer.”

Vlad quirked a brow “you fought Christmas elves?”

“Gingerbread men too, it was a crazy Christmas and I was bored.” Ezra waved it off.

[techyknight]

"that means somehow he caused it" Angela said rolling her eyes as she kissed Godwin and smiled

"I hit Lucifer in the face with mjolnir it was awesome" she said excitedly

"I think will is the only one down and Ben and I are out" shiro said "I'm safe as long as I can control the base, the whole place is my weapon and unless masters wants me to turn this whole place I to a mech I'm better off here being your eyes around the city"

[dracula-resurrected]

Will nodded, “I should sit the next part out.” He looked like he needed blood and rest.

Vlad nodded.

“Ooh Babe!” Godwin grinned. “I wanna see the security footage later!”

Ezra looked Nikki over, “Hmm, not like this you aren’t.” He snapped his fingers and the hospital like gown transformed into far better battle armor. “Now then what weapon would you like?” Ezra pulled up her hands and kissed her hands before pulling out the necklace that contained Carina’s amulet in a moment the Djinn was there. “Ok coast is clear enough for you to be here.”

Vlad stared at the Djinn and then at Nikki. “Right well our numbers just increased.”

[xtwistedwishx]

Carina smiled and cracked her knuckles

"okay for once Ezra needs wishes granted what's up, what Am I up too? Hey babe!" Carina said smiling when she spotted Nikki and kissed her gently Carina spotted will and with a snap of her fingers his burns were healed and she had a pint of blood in her hand offering it to him with a bendy straw

[dracula-resurrected]

Will had been quite drained and was leaning on Masters, “hey if I don’t make it, you take good care of Jane and the twins ok?” He patted Masters on the cheek and kissed him on the lips before passing out. That was when Carina’s magic hit him and he sat up oblivious to his previous actions he took the bottle and drank slowly.

“Firstly Layla could use a pick me up.” Arthur said. “If you don’t mind.”

“Then Honey please, she is missing a pint of demon blood.” Vlad said. “Thank you.”

[xtwistedwishx]

A few more snaps and Layla opened her eyes again and smiled cuddling into Arthur a bit more

"good morning"

"it's not morning so don't get to cuddly" Nikki said still wrapped in her boyfriend's arms Layla frowned and opened her eyes pouting

"shit it wasn't a dream?"

Council Meeting || Multi

Drac was already seated in the room at the head of the table looking especially stately in a dark grey and crimson pinstripe suit made by his fiancé Honey. He sat not saying a word as various squabbling Lords and Ladies came in seated around the table. He sat there letting them squabble eyes shifting to Adhira, Ezra and Fabian the only ones who seemed to have a clue that silence was the more wiser option.

At last one by one they fell silent at last noticing the odd stillness coming from his side of the table. “Now that you all have gotten that out of your systems.” His Slavic accent still there as he stood regal, tall, and every bit the man whom had brought most of them together some centuries past. “I believe we can now get down to business like the governing body that we are. It has come to my attention that some of you are dissatisfied with how things have been run of late. It is true I have brushed much under the proverbial table, but what monarch in recovery doesn’t? I left you all in capable hands, each other, as I have done before, yet I sense unrest. Some remarks were made at the ball the other night, remarks I don’t take kindly too.” He circled around the table, “I made some of my own, remarks.” He said letting his hand brush across the back of the French Lord’s chair, “that still ring as true then as they do now. You are all elected to guide me, as your King not the other way around. Your position is replaceable, I do not speak this things with the intention of a despot. I speak this as a reminder of how good it is to have... fresh blood. Ergo Adhira, Fabian to name the newest members of our council. A council comprised of individuals put forward by the election of their individual communities of our kind.” He had moved on circling around, to where he had started and leaned forward hands on the table. “I take matters regarding my people seriously. Their safety, happiness, and way of life. Already I am working on securing an alternative to blood, a synthetic. It is time we left the shadows of the past and entered the brilliant realm of the future.”

“You would make us like the humans?”

“To save the lives of our people yes, the human hunters that stalk us through the night grow bolder, the Belmont’s forces have more than doubled under our noses no less. They have the power to alter memories, and who knows what else.”

“Then we destroy them.” A Lord suggested.

“No,” Vlad said. “We undermine them, we take away that which gives them power, people’s fear of that which lives in the shadows. If we do this right humans won’t be able to know we are among them. Just like it has been, and the Belmont’s won’t have a leg to stand on. They have adapted so must we.”

[indiancouncil]

Adhira nodded agreeing with him

"a synthetic alternative will take some convincing. Our kind due to our being stuck in time tend to be stubborn to change. Our greatest example is our older members who A) still think i don't belong here because I'm a woman and B) complain about Fabian Being to Young and either complaining that he's going to turn into carmilla or that he isn't enough like carmilla"

Instantly there was an uproar from several council members cursing the woman out and she laughed a little

"I was kind enough not to give your names but Hank you for incriminating yourselves and saving Carina the trouble"

[dracula-resurrected]

Drac smiled this was why he did tend to like Adhira more out of most of the council.

Ezra shared a knowing look with Adhira clearly emphasizing on the matter.

“What of Ezra?” One of the other older members asked. “He is the eldest what do you say?”

Ezra looked at him, “get with the times old man, it’s later than you think. If there is one thing I have always done well is be apart of what is happening in the now. You all distance yourselves and rely on the youth under you to guide you on how not to expose yourself but never on how to blend in. You cannot rule from above you must be among or you will never understand them fully.”

“How American!”

“You asked for my opinion I gave it, just cause you don’t like it well it seems you are stuck in your ways.” Ezra looked at him. “You do know what tends to happen to those who fall behind?” He made a motion of encouragement.

“They are left,” Drac said straightening.

“This is outrage! You cannot do this!”

“Cannot do what?” Drac asked keeping his face cold. “What is it I am doing??? And who be you to stop a King? Are you an Emperor? An Angel? A God?” He chuckled. “You are most certainly not my Grandmother.”

“Listen here you little shit!”

Drac raised a brow any hint of humor in his face gone now. The look on his face was the look of a man who was contemplating not if he was going to murder but how. “I would chose your next words councilor very carefully.”

[xtwistedwishx]

Carina stepped in then and offered a polite a s professional smile seeing as she was one of very few outsiders allowed into the council meetings

"my king if you'd like I can remove the council member so you can continue your meeting without dirtying your suit. Your fiance wouldn't be pleased if you ruined such fine clothing" Carina said sweetly her innocence was an illusion and while she wasn't terribly strong her magic was powerful only reigned in by her amulet and her master

"that way you can deal with them privately at a later date"

[dracula-resurrected]

“Thank you Carina.” Drac said. “Any others that wish to join them? It is sink or swim at this point.”

The councilman stood then went at Drac who calmly swiftly grabbed the man by the neck and slammed him down reminding everyone that despite appearances Drac was capable of handling himself well. “Seems we are a little impatient, perhaps I should have asked you to mind your actions a most unbecoming behavior I suspect your replacement will be much more reasonable company.” He looked up at Carina. “I believe he is ready to leave he has chosen his fate.” Drac said straightening not a crinkle in his suit or a coifed hair out of place. “Now then where were we?”

[xtwistedwishx]

Carina nodded and snapped her fingers the man vanishing before their eyes

"he'll be in your office to have a discussion when you're done here, if you're planning death I recommend changing your clothes do your fiance doesn't scold you" Carina said smiling happily before going back to take her seat

Family Meeting || open

Ezra sat at the table arms crossed, “something has to be done about Drac.

“Agreed,” Kit said crossing his arms impatiently. “He can’t be allowed to continue doing what he has done.”

“Let us not forget that he isn’t in control of himself.” Ezra added.

“Control or not that bastard has made Honey cry and that I will not stand for!” Kit said with venom.

-

Dracula studied the house having seen Hades and Kit leave earlier. “Now then this should be interesting...” he made his way through the shadows. Peering into the windows he saw the little girl. Hades had a daughter? He had an almost little sister? Hades had replaced him!

[xtwistedwishx]

Hades looked to Vlad and nodded

"I told you I wouldn't lie to you about something like this, if you prefer we can certainly ask feli some of the details on the morning but the less supernatural ones please" Hades told him as he sat down

"she's human, she'd had enough trauma in her life so we are trying to wait until she's a little older before we explain about our.... demonic sides"

-

Carina smiled at him and kissed his cheek

"we can give it a try but if she calls me I have to go," carina said to him Nikki chuckled a bit and hugged them

"yay! Night will, night Jane thanks for letting us borrow the place for our meeting' Nikki said as she took Ezra and carinas hands and lead them from the house

Aziraphale was practically giddy in his excitement for the food and then as beaming with pride at Fitz trick as he chuckled a little

"you fell for your own trick my dear," aziraphale said laughing a little he knelt down and hugged Fitz

"next time I'll bring my bag of tricks," he promised before he turned to kitty and hugged her as well

"both if you, if you'd like. Just promise you'll behave" he said he booped both their noses and smiled before he stood and took crowley by the hand as he also took the treats offered to him with a thank you to the Shakespeare family

[xtwistedwishx]

Oh geez….Carina took a deep breath for a moment before she looked at him

“Okay….vlad I think you should come with me to the council hall,” Carina said to him as she went into her bag and grabbed her phone “or at least wait here for Ezra to take us if you’d prefer a familiar face?”

Ezra had known him since he was a tot so he’d trust Ezra more so than her if he didn’t remember and honestly carina was NOT breaking the news to honey that something had happneed to her fiance and she also didn’t want to risk him flipping out if she just snapped them to the council hall

[dracula-resurrected]

“And why should I do that?” Dracula asked her leaning in dangerously close to her. “Why should a spider listen to a fly?” With that in a whirlwind of bats he was gone back to the palace where he went to the old Council meeting chamber only to see that it was darkened and covered in dust and cobwebs. When was the last time they had held a meeting? He summoned his otherworldly servants and ordered the room made ready. Turning to a specter, “go and send a message to all the council they are to meet here at once, there is much to be done and I will not take no for an answer!”

[xtwistedwishx]

Carina only rolled her eyes, she wasn’t frightened of vlad really. the idea that he had reverted back to dracula was an adjustment and concerning but it didn’t mean for her to worry much. she called Ezra on her phone and instead of going to the tailor headed back to where Adhira would be

“Hey so we have a problem, vlad is now dracula again he had no idea who i was, didn’t know i was dating nikki and had no idea who honey was and was dressed like he belonged in a black and white horror flick”

[dj-byte-me]

Ezra who had been going over some paperwork looked up, “oh no not again. No, no, I thought we were done with the pomp and darkness.” They had worked so hard, hell Vlad had worked so hard! This wasn’t right and it wasn’t fair! He was about to say more when the spectral servant appeared.

“You are summoned to the meeting of the Council in Castle Dracula.” It said before disappearing.

“Do we go dressed as days of yore or not?” Ezra asked. “Also do we tell Honey or let her find out? Neither is a tempting option.”

[xtwistedwishx]

“I think he needs to catch up on the times, so not days of yore because most everyone else won’t and i’ve already told him he didn’t know his fiance. I’m not telling honey but someone should that she won’t murder and when i get off the phone with you i’m calling Arthur to make sure that Nikki and Layla are protected, nikki will be fine because she looks like his mother and i know he won’t hurt his descendants but I don’t want to risk him changing his mind through whatever might be influencing him.” Carina said who knew what was going on but whatever it was Carina knew it definitely wasn’t him. 

“I’m suspecting we have some damage control to deal with as well, his eyes were so red which means he’s been feeding and had a lot, which explains all the sirens and police lights i’m seeing so someone needs to call the knights and the van hellsings as well to do damage control”

“Vlad we’ve met before....about a thousand times before.” Carina told him “If this is a joke it’s not funny and you better get out of that outfit before Honey sees you in it you represent her company after all.” 

the more she spoke and realized about him the more it slowly sank in that something was very wrong here perhaps he wasn’t joking?

“....vlad what’s my girlfriends name?” Carina asked him shifting her weight from one foot to the other and folding her arms over her chest rather than going through her bag she supposed it was a stupid question, he could lie to her but she could also tell he didn’t speak as much in this accent anymore because Honey teased him so much about it, all well mannered of course.

In Darkness Bound || Dracula & Multi

The Castle seemed to take on a new life with it’s host restored to it one by one the torches lit the candles coming to light as the dark master rose from his slumber in his coffin. Dracula looked around himself all was as it should be, ghostly servants hurried through to their duties as he made his way through the halls of marble and the plush velvet curtains, other trappings of wealth that such as he had acquired over a long life. Hunger was what drew him from his sleep and hunger was easily quenched as he took to the balcony. The view from the balcony was of the city in the distance not the sleepy village below his castle in the Carpathians as he had expected. Oh well, more to drink… He thought to himself as he took flight a whirlwind of bats. 

The shrieks that filled the night as he took life after life enjoying the relish of blood flowing through veins into his mouth. Draining each victim completely dry leaving their husk of remains in his wake. How long since he had last truly drunk his fill? 

He heard the sound of guns clicking and slowly turned upon the group of armed officers. The smile that came to his face as in a blur he was gone before their eyes appearing next to each slaughtering them wasting little of their blood. He heard it the sound of a heart beat near by, “Come, come, little prey, for I thirst greatly and I endeavor to make a meal out of you for I have not had my fill just yet.” He saw movement and appeared to them. “There you are, may I have this dance?” He asked as he pulled the terrified person in dancing them around humming a dark macabre melody as they spun together before dipping them low and drinking. “A fine partner, an even better meal.” 

[xtwistedwishx]

Carina was more than a little surprised to be swept up in Vlad’s arms and danced around like some kind of doll, was he drunk? he didn’t typically get drunk any more he was much more responsible with his alcohol intake since working at the bar.

“You’re cute but not my type,” Carina joked pushing him back he had to be joking around after all right? she couldn’t think of another reason he’d be acting like that

“I’d love to stay and chat but if I don’t get to the tailors and to Adira in time, then she’s not going to let me out on a date for the rest of the week.” Carina told him she started digging through her purse looking for her list but something was....off. He didn’t look himself and something had the hair on the back of her neck standing on end it was strange almost frightening.

LOOSE ENDS (multi)

Everything at the house has gotten more under control at this point. Everyone was calming down and Nikki had come into the backyard about a hundred times to apologize. Layla had told her she was fine and it was ok but she still wasn't quite herself.

Layla hadn't expected them and was still kind of shaken, their words still stung and it was amazing how seventeen years of growing and getting thicker skin could end in under thirty seconds. Just from seeing them.

The animals were helpful in distracting her. Bean seemed to just want to snuggle and play with a single string on her sweater,Cody wouldn't get off her foot and Cerberus has his head on her knee so he wouldn't squish bean it was surprisingly comforting

[dracula-resurrected]

Drac appeared in the backyard and smiled at the sight as he moved to sit beside his descendant resting his head on her shoulder comfortingly. “They have left, the evil has been defeated.” He murmured his usual accent having returned. “I’m sorry, I am, that all of this happened. I had no way of knowing the result of my speaking to you with my mind. If I had I would never have intruded. I am also sorry that your parents are such terrible people, well your Father seems decent but your mother is... aptly named.”

[drop-dead-detective]

Layla chuckled a little bit and nodded 

“Yeah, i already have a picture from my dad asking me to please call of my sisters djinni friend” Layla said she held up her phone to show a doll house that had crashed into the windshield on the passengers side 

“She literally dropped a house on them and I think I owe you both a trip to disney for that” she said shaking her head a bit she thought it was amusing and the picture also did come with an apology from her father and telling her to contact him when she was ready to talk and that there was no pressure.

[dracula-resurrected]

Drac laughed, “it is good to hear you laugh and even more to hear your personality coming back to the surface. I was starting to think we had lost you for a moment there.” He gave her a look of relief. “I made your favorite style of roast and veggies. It shouldn’t be too long till it is ready.” He looked at the animals. “Would you like to have me bring it too you as you seem preoccupied at the moment?”

[drop-dead-detective]

Layla shook her head and stroked beans fur

"no, I'm still nervous about touching anything that could have been living but I'll try later I promise" Layla told him she knew everyone would pressure her to try to eat but she still was nervous

"thank you for all of your help, I Know my parents are.....alot"

[dracula-resurrected]

“They are but you and Nikki are worth it,” Vlad said. “You are my family and I will never abandon you.” He gave her a half hug. “You going to be ok? You are the strongest girl I know besides your sister but you don’t have to be strong all the time.”

[drop-dead-detective]

Layla rolled her eyes

"hey you've seen me cry once today that's a three times a year thing, don't try to make me do it again" Layla joked Cody lifted his head and saw Vlad, his tail wagged and he scurried over to Vlad yipping happily

[dracula-resurrected]

“I’ll try not to,” Vlad said as he scooped up Cody, “Hullo pupper you missed me? I missed you, what a baby!” This earned a whimper from Cerberus. “You are my baby Cerberus there is no doubt about that but Cody is a baby and so is little Bean.”

[drop-dead-detective]

Bean meowed hearing his name and Layla smiled

"yes all animals are baby" she informed them Patting Cerberus as well

Nikki poked her head out a bit hesitantly

"Nikki if you apologize one more time in throwing you in a closet" Layla told her Nikki giggled

[dracula-resurrected]

“Just checking in on her and making sure all is well,” Drac smiled standing and setting Cody in Layla’s lap. “I should check on the roast.” He patted Cerberus. “Come in when you are ready. If not I’ll bring you something.” He chuckled and entered the house. He walked up to Honey. “In case you are wondering they are guests at my castle for the night. I think a night of utter terror would do them good. It will also be safer than the forest this evening.” He told her. “You are welcome to help of course and Layla is not to know.”

[honeystone-fashion]

Honey chuckled a bit

"well carina said she already put a dollhouse through the windshield, what horrid could I possibly come up with that won't hurt them?" Honey asked pouting a little "seems like a big tease to me,"

[dracula-resurrected]

“You are a big tease,” Drac told her, “but an imaginative one at that, my love.” He kissed her. “You can at least watch them make fools of themselves on the camera.”

[xtwistedwishx]

Honey seemed much more interested in that

"sounds like a movie date, I'll bring the pop corn" she said to him giggling with mischief Carina looked at godwin and Arthur

"so you two have been quiet what did you think of the inlaws?"

MOTHER NATURES NOT A NECROMANCER (MULTI)

Layla has been hearing the news talk about a super blood moon coming up, it was rare and beautiful but to her it was pretty boring. Full moons meant lots of crazy though so that meant good tips at the club and probably a lot of jobs in between for the next couple of days.

That morning things went as usual for a still mostly insomniac detective (she slept better since Vlad had been brought back but her body was still so used to running on such little sleep) everything had been fine other than a tingle in her hands but she chalked that up to bean probably having slept awkwardly on her at one point before he had abandoned her for Arthur.

She made her way to the kitchen and started making here coffee at first she didn't notice the leaves sprouting from the apples that she had to move to get the cream or that some of the coffee grounds has begun to form into beans again. No it was much to early for that type of observation. It was mostly starting to notice when she went to the backyard to sit on the stairs, she noted that the grass was talked despite having it been cut just a day or two before she didn't notice the porch suddenly growing bark where her feet had touched no what she did notice was when she touched the rail and suddenly two branches about the size of her each suddenly sprouted and blocked her path knocking her over as she screamed

What the actual hell was happening?!

[drop-dead-detective]

Nikki scooped up Bean who purred loudly in her arms

"you have a cat? Those beasts are disgusting" theodora scowled and moved away to stand closer to her husband as if Bean would turn any moment into a ferocious beast to swallow them, one could dream.

Layla came out of her room in jeans and a long sleeve

"mom chill bean would never hurt a fly" Layla said scratching the little beans ears and listening to him purr louder

[dracula-resurrected]

“He is the baby of the household,” Vlad said, “he holds much sway here.” He exchanged looks with Layla and others there keeping tabs.

“Oh what a magnificent sword,” Viktor walked over to the sword reaching out and letting his hand go across the blade.

Vlad was going to warn him but thought better of it and was pleased when the man yelped pulling his hand away as blood came forth from the slice on his hand. “You ought not to touch things that don’t belong to you.”

“I can’t believe it is so sharp.”

Vlad muttered the word peasant under his breath before going to him. “That is the family sword.”

“And are we not family?”

“No.” Vlad said. “Not in that way.” Vlad looked over the Vlad making sure it was fine before looking to Viktor. “Don’t get blood on the carpet you were the fool who messed with the blade not I.” He tossed a cloth at him. “They day the sword knows who wields it and touches it and that if they don’t have the family blood then they are not worthy. Clearly you have much to improve upon as Layla and Nikki both have never had a problem with it before.” He raised a brow, “forgive me I am still of the old ways the ways of our family before leaving for the new world as it were.”

[drop-dead-detective]

Theodora smiled a little bit nervously

"dear you should be more careful, I mean you are only a relative by marriage" theodora told him patting her husband's shoulder a bit before she looked at the girls

"make sure you wash your hands after you touch that animal" she said the door rang and Carina walked in with a bottle of wine in each hand and honey in tow with Cerberus, Cody and a covered tray

"hey are we late for movie night?" Honey asked smiling Cody growled softly the moment he layes eyes on the parents emphasizing bad vibes everywhere

Carina out the bottles on the counter and looked at godwin

"bottle opener?"

"don't you think it's early for wine?" Theodora said with a judgy look Carina forced a smile and popped the cork without ir

"five o'clock somewhere"

[dracula-resurrected]

“It is never too early for wine,” Drac said before handing the bottle opener over as he was already in the drawer with Godwin to find the meat tenderizer. “This is my Queen and fiancé Honey, and magnificent Friend Carina.”

Ezra came in joining the chaos. “And I am Ezra local radio show dj and old friend.”

Cerberus walked up to Theodora and let out a low sound that told anyone he didn’t like her he did the same for Viktor and avoided pets from either of them sitting beside Vlad.

“How was pampering? Did he do well at the spa? This is my medical dog, Cerberus, he helps me with my PTSD.” Vlad introduced Cerberus.

[drop-dead-detective]

"oh did you meet Layla at the facility then?" Viktor asked having no tact after the sword thing theodora had the sense to hit him lightly in the shoulder and tell him he was rude as Nikki glared

"no they met here in the city, Vlad reached out and contacted Layla after finding out about family"

It wasn't a total lie after all

Layla out her face in one of her hands

"Layla sweetie if you keep touching your face like that you're going to break out again, remember middle school?" Theodora asked her and Layla practically cringed and just moved closer to Arthur.

Nikki decided to bite the bullet and take the attention off Layla but she did have sense not to drop a bomb right away. She out bean down and took ezra hand pulling him away to talk to him

"so... Would you be mad if I told you I hadn't told my parents about us and Carina?" Nikki asked him "I mean I'd like to, they should know but I don't want you to get hit with that drama bomb"

Things were settling again and theodora looked at honey who now had a glass of wine in her hand happily

"so is honey....I'm sorry is that your real name?" Theodora asked her looking like she pitied her and the glass made a sound like it was about to crack as honey smiled

"I'm sorry isn't theodora a witches name?" Horny asked theodora gave a fake laugh obviously annoyed

"well let's hope a house won't fall in me" she joked honey gave a smile as if she were dreaming about that, she might have to talk to crowley that was his level of chaos

[dracula-resurrected]

Ezra looked at her, “if it takes the focus off of poor Layla, what more can they do that they won’t? My love for you won’t lessen nor will Carina’s.”

Vlad glared daggers at Viktor and Theodora that he would even joke about the hell they abandoned their daughter to. “Honey is famous for her good works she does across the city even the world the bee population is rising thanks to her efforts and the fashion industry wouldn’t be at so wonderful a level without her.” Drac said keeping the subject off of Layla.

[honeystone-fashion]

Nikki smiled though it obviously didn't match how she was feeling

"please remember saying that, you've never had to deal with these people and at this point they're just getting started" Nikki admitted to him before she kissed his cheek she hated putting her relationship under the microscope but at this point what as there to lose. Nikki went to Carina and whispered the situation in her ear Carina looked like she debated drinking the rest of the wine on the counter but she nodded

"ok but please let me drop a house on them, even a doll house your mother basically asked for it" Carina asked her Nikki giggled and kissed her cheek

Theodora raised a brow

"oh really? Is that why you called yourself honey? Goes with your cause? Even if there are better causes to donate time to,Viktor and I do charities unfortunate kids we tried to get Nikki to start our program here in seacoast so we could visit more"

If Layla could go any more pale she would have but she was already looking like a sheet

[dracula-resurrected]

“The preservation of humanity and food sources is always something worth spending time and money on.” Anyone who knew Vlad was a vampire knew what he had meant. “After all the bees are our friends, I even keep a few hives and a garden for them. Making mead and selling the wax as various items. It is good honest work same I’m sure can be said for Honey I’d ask you keep yourselves civil when speaking to her she is my Fiancé and thereby a member of the family.” Vlad said rather coldly. “Besides what charities have you involved yourselves in? Surely there must be some good you do for the world?”

[xtwistedwishx]

"we just a charity to help unfortunate children" Viktor told him "after everything that happened with Layla we thought of families that aren't as well off as us so we started a charity for them"

Nikki rolled her eyes

"no you funded it and stop in every few weeks for photos for your friends there's a difference" Nikki pointed out to them pouring herself a glass of wine

"so Ezra how do you know the girls?" Theodora asked side eyeing Nikki she'd obviously noticed Nikki pulling him aside

"he's my boyfriend" Carina said smiling as she leaves on the counter as if her favorite show had come on

"and you know then because....."

"because I'm Carina's girlfriend" Nikki said taking a long drink Carina grinned DARING them to say a negative word

Megamind AU || Drac & Honey

[xtwistedwishx]

“he’s a king that still sits on quite the fortune Ezra trust me, I pay attention to the books he can afford it.” Fabian promised him with a slight eye roll 

“Besides the other council members typically chip in as well to ensure that things they enjoy will be part of it, last ball Adhira actually got in a bidding war with the frenchman because she wanted to make sure he didn’t serve snails and he insisted that they be served.”

Carina groaned and rolled her eyes

“That was obnoxious, do you know how many miracles i had to do to keep that caterer from serving those damn snails? disgusting” Carina said with a shudder.

[dracula-resurrected]

“That wasn’t the point of that little interrogation,” Ezra shook his head at the mentioning of escargot he made a face.

Dracula shook his head. “Perhaps we can allow for the to be made specially for him and just him.” He held up his hands. “I just want everything to go as smoothly as possible with no murders just dancing the night away watching spectacle after spectacle and having her know the world I am a part of. Also seeing her in an elegant ball gown.” He let out a dreamy sigh and leaned back against the wall.

“You sure you didn’t kiss her?” Ezra asked.

“No but I would like to some day.”

[xtwistedwishx]

Fabian chuckled a little bit 

“If this is what you’re like as an adult in love i’d hate to know what you were like as a teenager in love.” Fabian said to him shaking his head a little bit he looked at Ezra  “wonder how you tolerated it.” he joked as he walked out going to make preparations, a ball was no small feat to throw “You’ll have to talk to the council about it don’t forget” Fabian added to him over his shoulder

Carina chuckled a little bit 

“he’s so cute when he’s so in love”
