The Count has nearly everything: a giant castle, a son, and relative fear of the masses. However, he lost one key aspect 5 years ago. His precious countess was the only woman he truly loved. Will fate bring them back or keep them apart forever?

Count P.O.V Maria had reconciled with her breather nephew a few months ago. They were back to speaking with each other & she seemed much happier for it. Currently, she was in her country reasserting her power after contacting her family. We all watched her being paraded throughout their man-made island north of us. She called in some sick days at the horrid school & hypnotised the Van Helsings for good measure. However, she would be back tomorrow night around 10pm.
"Well, what a night I've had. Stop what you're doing & prepare to be amazed." I boasted before revealing a brown bunny
"Have you got a job as a magician?" Vlad joked, making Renfield volunteer as my assistant
"No, you idiots. I've been out hunting. It's time that you got your fangs stuck in some proper." I clarified
"But dad, its just a little baby rabbit." Vlad replied
"Ahh, want something bigger ehh. Well tomorrow, I'll bring you a goat." I offered before setting the rabbit in front of Vlad
"I'm not eating..." Vlad protested before noticing something sparkly tied around its neck. He quickly grabbed it & began loosening the tan ribbon. "A ring for mum! You're finally going to ask."
"Let me see!" Ingrid squealed as she rushed over, "Dad, its absolutely gorgeous. Where did you get it?"

"I've had it for a long time. It's a replica of your grandmothers' wedding ring." I answered as I enjoyed their happiness
"Nice choice, mum loved her ring. How are you going to ask?" Ingrid asked eagerly
"Well, I do love hijinks. How about a hunt ball?" I replied as I grinned wide. Ingrid quickly went to work organising while Vlad had mixed emotions.
Vlad P.O.V I was happy that Dad was finally proposing to mom. The ring was a nice choice since mum loved sentimental items. I was looking forward to our new life as an official family. However, I wish that the plan didn't involve a hunt ball & the eventual peasant mob. At school, I had mixed feelings while Ingrid was giddy as she inflicted more pain.
"Vlad shouldn't you be happy that your parents are getting married?" Chloe asked as we ate on a bench
"I would if my Dad wasn't also hosting a hunt ball." I replied as I played with my food
"What's a hunt ball?" Chloe asked
"A big fancy party where dad ballroom dances as he window shops for a wife. But, he'll be pretending to build suspense." I explained as I got up to throw out my lunch
"A vampire party cool!" Robin eagerly said, oblivious to the clear danger
"Not cool. At midnight instead of going home, they start hunting peasants to feast on." I irritatedly explained. Robin kept ignoring my warnings as usual. Only Chloe was useful as she offered advice: tell dad the truth about Mr. Van Helsing. I was saving that as a last resort if sabotage & talking didn't work.
