Everyone knew that a Vampire can't never live side by side with human, their temptation to not drinks human blood is too hard to resist. It was why, when a young also handsome Count known as Count of Falling Star held a Masquerade Halloween Ball upon his Castle, deep in the woods of Transylvania, many human tried to kill all the vampires there including him.
The Ball was held every year upon Halloween, in order to celebrate the magical time of the year and honoring the dead. The Ball was so incredible amazing with chandelier and golden plates, perfectly fit for a Count like him. On this year's Ball, he decide to dress as himself, without wearing any costume only mask to cover his face. Along with the night fall, the curtains of the Grand hall raises up and reveal the majestic Count sitting on his Throne watching the Ball below him. He smiled wide with full of pride and joy. He never been this happy before, but even though he's a Count, he haven't found a Countess to become his partner.
The bell rang seven times and the Count rose from his Throne while raising his glass full of champagne, high enough so that everyone can saw him. He smiled to all of his guests below and greets them with his handsome smile showing his fangs.
"Greetings to you, all my guests.. I'm more than happy to greet you all upon my Castle, this has been our routine every Halloween to hold a Grand Ball to honour the sacred day of Halloween and honour our beloved that's already gone before us.. a toast for hundreds year more" He said while raising his glass high so everyone could see it.
"For hundreds Year More!!" Replied all the guests inside the Ball room. Then the party goes back again along with the song and the laughing vampires that teases the other because one of them spilled the champagne on her hand and Josh giggled when he sees that happened.
This is what he always want, he hopes that Halloween could be there for him, forever so there's no such thing as summer or any kind of event that he didn't like, but sometime he often go to Christmas service to the nearest Church and greets everyone. He's good enough to cover his identity so no one ever recognize who he exactly is, the truth about his fang, the truth that he is the creature of the night. The Vampire.
🧛🏻♂️🌹🧛🏻♀️
The party went all night with everyone still dancing around the entire Ball Room making it more amazing to see with many Vampires that attends the event wearing such classic style of dresses and suits. Josh just wear his favorite color for tonight, dark blue suit along with Black tall robe and white gloves also a Masquerade mask that covered only half of his face. He smiled from his Throne when he suddenly saw someone walk closer into the middle of his Ball Room while pointing him a gun with grinned.
"It's over you, filthy Vampire!! I will send you back to hell where you belong!" Said the person that pointing Josh with his gun.
The atmosphere of the entire Ball room that once full of sounds of music and laughing changes drastically all of a sudden into silence and Josh rose from his Throne while staring at him with a pathetic stare. He fly down from his Throne and faces the hunter eye to eye while taking off his mask and showing his handsome face to all of his guests, including the uninvited guest.
"Well done, Hunter.. you've tracked and hunt me down until you find my Castle.. applause everyone applause" Said Josh while applausing the hunter and soon the other guests also joins him, the Hunter chuckled and this time he took out his big silver cross and pointing at Josh.
Josh's face changes from a laugh into serious and disbelief that the hunter really wish to kill him. He supposed to not spare his life when he have a chance, just kill him. But now he regret his decision. He sighed softly and looked back into the hunter.
"What do you want ? You've disturbing our sacred Ball.. and now you came to kill me ? Is that what you're planning to do..?" Said Josh while walking closer to the hunter, a strong vibes of the Holly cross started to burn Josh's face and feeling, but he hold it as much as he can so everyone won't notice that he's burning slowly.
"You.. you're the reason I've lost my daughter and my wife! You killed them! You killed them! And now I will kill you!!" Said the Hunter furiously, this time the hunter take his gun and shot Josh, but since he's a Vampire he could easily avoid the bullet and the next thing the hunter know is that Josh's standing behind the Hunter while holding the Hunter's shoulder and neck from behind.
"This is enough.. Go away you foolish mortal! I won't have any debate or anything with you.. and it's not me who killed your daughter or your wife, they fall from the cliff and you know that! Enough with that kind of lies.. you.." Before Josh can even say anything further, the Hunter stabbed Josh's feet with wooden stake which makes Josh screaming in pain.
Before Josh can take away the stake, the Hunter throw a ball of light and majestic light that have the same light as sun burst into the entire Castle and roast the entire Vampires that hides there. Before Josh got burn by the light, he change his form into a bat along with some of his guests and he flew away from the Castle.
"GO!! NEVER STEP YOUR DIRTY FOOT AGAIN UPON TRANSYLVANIA YOU BLOOD SUCKER!!" Screamed the Hunter and a huge explosion heard from behind and when Josh looked back, he saw that his Castle already burn and destroyed to the ground by the Hunter.
