Episode 32 - Flash Fanfiction - Dracula

Chapter 5

Barry and Cisco arrived at the graveyard and continued to ring the girl's phones until they could hear them close by. "Cisco, over there!" Barry cried out as he ran to where the phones had been dropped along with the stakes and the flashlights, which were off.

Barry picked up one of the torches and flicked the button. "It's flat." He said, he tried the other which had also gone flat.

Cisco picked up the stakes and the phones, handing Caitlin's phone to Barry and pocketing Astrid's. "She left Mr Pointy." He said, confused.

"They wouldn't just leave everything here." Barry said. "Maybe..."

"I know what you're saying. But Astrid's a telepath... she should be able to hold her own against Dracula."

"Has Dracula ever gone up against a telepath before?" Barry asked him.

"I...don't...know." Cisco said, very unsure of himself.

"Well then... let's find them..." Barry said.

"Oh, good! Do you know how long it's taken me to find you bastards?" The smug accent of a familiar British man called out to them.

Barry and Cisco looked up to see John Constantine marching his way towards them. "Kent said that the lot of you might require my assistance... I'm sorry that it took me so long to find you. I tried locating Harry... but couldn't get a reading and then I had to use a bloody summoning spell to find you, Barry... why can't any of you stay in one place for long... Wait, Aren't there normally more with you?"

Cisco and Barry stared at Constantine for a few moments, he was waiting for them to answer him.

Barry sighed. "First of all... We lost Wells."

"How could you lose that bastard? Did he travel to another earth again?"

Cisco stared down at his feet and realized, of all the places that they could be, they were standing near Harry's grave stone. "FYI, Harry's over there." He pointed.

A look of confusion crossed over Constantine's face. He walked over to the grave site. "Bullocks. Why didn't any of you call me? Summon me?"

"Because we didn't know how," Barry replied. "It was always Harry that summoned you."

John lit up a cigarette. "Well, come on. Don't leave me in suspense... where are the prettier members of your group?"

"Actually, we're not so sure. They were hunting vampires." Barry said.

"Dracula to be exact!" Cisco added.

"And let me guess, they're missing... Oh, Bullocks!" Constantine said angrily, breathing in his cigarette. "How long have they been missing?"

Cisco and Barry looked at each other. They weren't exactly sure how long.

"You're both fucking useless! The two of you are aware what he has in store for them, right?" Constantine asked them.

Cisco held his breath, remembering every Dracula movie that he had ever seen. "Oh no! Nope! Nope! Nope! Brides of Dracula! Nope!" he said angrily.

"Brides of Dracula?" Barry asked him.

"He hasn't seen the movies." Cisco clarified to Constantine.

"Well, neither have I... but I can't think of a better way of putting it. He will either feast on them or turn them... They will be nothing more than weapons of seduction for him to wield. You will have to kill them."

"Kill them? No!" Barry said angrily. "We're not killing them!"

"I agree with Barry. We can't kill them... We're not killing them! Please, tell me you won't kill them!" Cisco said in defense.

Constantine lit up another cigarette. "This is why I work alone!" He stormed away, with Barry and Cisco following close behind.

"Where are you going?" Barry asked him.

"To find the fucking bastard and put an end to him. I take it the two of you are joining me?"

"As long as we don't kill the girls." Barry replied.

"They're already dead!" Constantine said in frustration.

The three of them returned to the cortex and Constantine begun to bark out orders. "Have either of you got any weapons for this gig?"

"I do!" Cisco said bringing over his large chest of vampire supplies. Constantine opened the box and looked inside. "Good, that saves me going home."

The chest was filled with a homemade crossbow, more stakes, garlic, crucifixes and a vial of clear liquid. "Is that real holy water, Cisco?" Barry asked, picking up the class bottle.

"Not really. It was just water from my bathroom... Where do you expect me to get holy water from?" Cisco asked.

"Stop your bloody bickering... here!" Constantine said annoyed, handing them both a vial each, which he pulled from the pocket inside his trench coat.

Cisco stared at the vial. "Is it..."

"Yes, it was blessed from a priest who was a friend of mine in fact." John replied.

"Was?" Barry asked.

"That's why I work alone." Constantine said again. "We're going to need to protect this place from any intrusions. The two of you are going to have to help me with a spell."

"Man, you're bossy!" Cisco said annoyed.

"I apologize that I am trying to keep you both alive." Constantine snapped at him.

"Why do you care?" Cisco snapped back.

"Relax, Cisco." Barry tried to calm him down.

"Maybe, because I feel like I owe it Ha..." Constantine started to say.

"...Don't say his name! Just don't say his name!" Cisco snapped. He picked up a stake and a crucifix from the table and breached out of the cortex.

He breached himself home. At least no vampires could enter his home uninvited. Though, it wasn't long before he heard a knock at the door.

"Cisco! Please, you need to open up!" he heard Astrid's voice crying from out in the hall. "Please, he's after us!"

Cisco didn't think twice, he ran over and opened the door immediately.

"Hi." Astrid said with a smile. She was standing with Iris and Caitlin. All three of them were wearing their hair down.

"Cisco, can we come in, please?" Astrid asked him.

"Seriously? I've barely been home for a minute. How did you find me?"

"I can read your mind, duh!" she replied. Caitlin and Iris laughed a long with her.

"So, can we come in?" she asked him again. "We can have some fun."

"What sort of fun are you talking about?" Cisco asked a little intimidated by the three of them. "You're all going to eat me aren't you?"

"Don't be stupid, Cisco." Caitlin spoke up, flicking her hair from her neck. "Why would we eat you?"

Cisco noticed the bite marks on her neck. He stepped backwards, "You're all vampires."

"Oh come on, Cisco. I promise, we won't eat you." Astrid said with a smile. "We just want to have some fun. What do you say?" He was tempted for the briefest of moments. But, to their surprise he closed the door on their faces.
