Time seemed to have passed ever since the weird sighting in Y/N's opinion. After she got slightly over it, something horrifying happened... All of the livestock had been slashed and devoured, including the poor Huckleberry. Y/N was now with the others, trying to find out more about what had happened that night. They were all asleep or either on the deck. One of the crew members accused that it must be Anna, which pissed Y/N off because she was a kind person. 

While they were discussing the incident, Y/N was inspecting the goat's body that was slashed and devoured. She shakenly reached and touched the trace marks gently of the poor animal with her hand. It looked like to be claw marks. When she looked at the neck, some of the chunk was missing. It was definitely kind of like a horror story. 

"Guys," Y/N called out but no one listened, so she tried again but this time louder. "Guys!" As she finally caught the attention of everyone, they all were quiet and looked at her. Y/N sighed. "Look, I was inspecting the goat's body, and these," she pointed to the claw marks," are claw marks. On the neck, all animals have some chunk missing and it looks like... bite marks."

"What are you suggesting, Mrs. Y/N?" the captain asked. 

"... Last night, while I was with Mr. Olgaren and Clemens on the deck, I was looking through the spyglass when I saw something... I don't know how to describe it. All I remember is that scary sharp-toothed grin at me."

The same member that accused Anna, scoffed. "Are we all gonna listen to this girl?"

Y/N was about to snap at the man when Mr. Olgaren stood up to her defense. "She's right. No man did this. Evil is on board. Powerful evil."


Later~

Y/N watched with sadness in their eyes as the animals, including Huck, were being disposed of into the ocean water. Clemens carried a dead Huck in his arms who was wrapped in a blanket. He sets the body at the edge of the deck and gets ready to dispose of it into the ocean when he and Y/N hear crying from Toby. 

"Toby?"

Toby's only response was running. Y/N was about to run after him when Clemens stopped her. "I will talk to him. You go seek shelter. It's gonna rain soon."

Y/N nodded and watched as Clemens ran after Toby. When the storm hit, the men were outside to help with the sail. She had no idea that Mr. Olgaren was speaking to Clemens about what he had seen the last night along with Y/N. Even though Clemens was also on the deck that night, it didn't mean that he saw it as well. He didn't use the spyglass. But Mr. Olgaren highly believed that Clemens saw it too. 

As night arrived, Y/N went into hiding somewhere on the deck. She was quiet as a mouse. Clemens was below the deck as he was speaking with one of the crew members, who noticed that all the rats were gone. While Y/N was on the deck, quietly listening for any sounds, she heard three knocks from down below. There was trouble. But she couldn't mess this up now. She needed to know what was that last night she saw. She was feeling sleepy as well, must be probably she was probably staying up late. She can't read the clock at all. You know, the Roman numbers? As she rested her head against the wooden wall, she closed her eyes for a second when she heard weak and painful noises such as whimpers. Y/N slowly walked out of her hiding spot, feeling exposed to the world and danger already. She should've stayed in the shadows. Once she arrived at the place, there was no one. She looked scared. There was something definitely not right at all. As she heard now quiet groans, she came closer and closer until she stepped on something. She quietly gasped and saw that it was... a knife. 

Y/N shook her head slowly, so slowly that she didn't realize that she was walking until she nearly fell into the water. She wanted to scream but she couldn't. She closed her eyes, prepared to fall into the cold water but she was... caught. Her eyes were shut tight. She felt someone's skin was very cold and dry. She slowly opened her eyes and she wanted to scream. There he was. He was from her home village in the castle up to the mountain. It was... Dracula. 

Dracula was right in front of Y/N. He had pale dry skin with claws and sharp-looking teeth to bite into someone's flesh. Y/N was shaking in fear that she wanted to cry and scream. Dracula then... shook his head no. It was like he knew that she was gonna scream so Y/N, being the obedient woman she was, listened to him. Dracula showed his creepy sharp-teehted grin and pulled her up back to the deck. Her breath hitched as Dracula stroked her face, especially her cheek with his sharp claws. Y/N couldn't help but... enjoy it? Why? What was wrong with her? He didn't seem interested in all with hunting her down. That's when she and Dracula looked in the direction where the bell came from. Dracula then pulled his clawed hand away and looked at Y/N before finally making his way to hide. Y/N stood dumbstruck. Huh?
