Episode 32 - Flash Fanfiction - Dracula

Chapter 7

Barry ran into the large mansion. He found himself in the main hall which was very dimly lit but looked very stylish all the same. It was also very crowded with roughly thirty vampires. Fortunately, thanks to his speed, time had stopped all around him. His plan was to lock all the vampires into one room keeping them out of the way of Constantine, who was currently nowhere to be seen. He found the perfect place... the basement.

As time sped up again, all the attention was on him. Two men ran at him, they moved faster than a regular human, but luckily Barry was still faster. He managed to take at least twenty down to the basement and locked them in, with ease. But, when he returned he was face to face with both Detective Joe West and Captain Singh.

"Barry! What are you doing here? This place is crawling with vampires!" Joe demanded of him.

"Joe!" Barry gasped. "the two of you need to get out of here. This is Dracula's home!"

"We know, Barry." Captain Singh said, making his way towards him. "We were called to come here. Any idea on how to take him down?"

"Yeah... stake through the heart or chop off his head." Barry explained. "But I have a friend who..."

"I was talking to Joe." Singh said, he gave a smile revealing sharp fangs that had taken the place of his mortal teeth.

"Joe!" Barry gasped, ready to get him out of there.

But Joe had strength over him and restrained Barry. "You either join us, Bar... or become our dinner." Joe said calmly.

Joe brought his own fangs close to Barry's throat, but did not bite him.

"Stop!" Iris' voice made them look up. Joe released Barry from his clutches.

"Iris!" Barry gasped. Caitlin emerged from behind her. Barry could see that they had both been changed. They wore their hair and clothes differently, though somewhat freely, compared to the way they had once worn them. They were both very beautiful in their own ways. He knew at that point that he was in love with the both of them.

"Caitlin. What happened to you, both?" Barry asked as he approach the women. "The master is creating an army, Barry." Caitlin said. Her voice hypnotic, though joyful.

"Join us," Iris told him.

"We really want you to, Barry." Caitlin said softly.

"Where's Cisco?" Barry asked, looking around him, expecting for his friend to breach in at any moment.

"Don't worry about Cisco, he's already accepted our invitation." Astrid's voice spoke softly as she entered the hall. She spoke with the same tone as the other women.

"Where is he! Where is Cisco!" Barry demanded.

"You can leave him with us." Iris said to Joe, Captain Singh and the rest of the vampires who were standing in the hall, waiting to make a meal out of Barry. They obeyed her command and left.

"I can read your mind remember, Barry. You seem to be torn between Caitlin and Iris." Astrid said with a smile. She was using her mind control to ensure that he did not move. "Maybe I should just leave you to the mercy of them both. Tsk, Tsk, Tsk! Who will you choose?"

Astrid turned away as Caitlin and Iris both approached Barry. They attempted to feast on his neck, opening their mouths wide and revealing their large fangs.

"Not today, loves!" Constantine's voice spoke in. He poured his vials of holy water over all three of them, giving Barry enough time to escape from their clutches. Astrid, Iris and Caitlin screamed, as burns appeared over their skin, as if they had been doused in acid.

"I added something a little extra to make it a little longer lasting... hope you enjoy it, love..." Constantine said.

He led Barry out of the hall, venturing deeper in to the mansion. "Do you know where we're going?" Barry asked him as they climbed up the red carpeted steps.

"To kill the bloody master, where else?"

"They did something to Cisco, to Joe and to Captain Singh!" Barry cried.

"Yeah and if you want any shot at helping them, we have to hurry! Do you have your weapon ready?"

Barry pulled out the stake. "Do you mean this thing?"

"That will do. If I fail... you know what you need to do. You should be faster than him so you have the chance. If you don't manage to stake him tonight, lure him out in the sunlight. But if you wait that long, you will also risk losing many that you love..."

"Wait, why are you telling me all this?" Barry asked, confused.

"I'm trying to give you a bloody fighting chance. So don't waste it!"

"Alright, I'm sorry." Barry apologized. The both of them made it to the top of the stairs and followed down the hallway.

"Cisco!" Barry said, noticing his friend standing by the door at the end of the hallway. Cisco turned to them and smirked, flashing sharp white fangs as he did so. "The Flash... and Van Helsing... Come to kill me, have you?" he asked them. He reminded Barry of the darker version of Cisco, that followed the Lords of Chaos in the alternate timeline.

"You deal with Dracula... I'll subdue him!" Barry said to Constantine.

Cisco smirked a devilish grin as he allowed for Constantine to pass through the door that he had been guarding. "He won't beat the master... I get vibes, remember? He'll make a pleasant snack, though."

Barry stared at Cisco, clutching his weapon, he slowly stepped towards the man who was supposed to be his best friend. "We're going to try and help you, Cisco! You and the others."

"You don't understand how...liberating this is! You really should join us, Barry!" there was a calmness to his tone. It sounded almost sinister.

"I'd rather die than become a vampire." Barry said.

"So be it... I'm curious... what kind of rush, does the blood of a speedster give you?" Cisco asked him.

"You'll have to catch me, if you want to find out!"
