MU With a ZING!

Chapter 01 - Tour of the Factory and Making a Friend

Life in the old country, especially in the midst of Europe during those times when rumors of demons and monsters whispered by many of the suspicious folks that lived in the small village and were fearful of beings that were said to stalk the night. The one they were most terrified was of those who were said to be of the living dead and drank blood.

One in particular was known as Dracul, the infamous prince of darkness. He was residing in the castle that once belong to another family of vampire before he met the lady Lubov and the two became the Count and Countess and making this their very home for almost half a century. It had been a somewhat blissful life for them but still thought his life couldn't get any better than this.

Ah what a truly wonderful feeling! This was Dracula's thinking as he helped arrange the nursery to the way they wanted it while his wife was busy tending to their little scamp of a daughter who was fidgeting as she was getting dress and glancing at the grandfather clock every second. The nursery was painted in a variety of blue to resemble the night with stars on the ceiling and having a family of bats that were in flight together which was of them and sure that their child would also adore when they lay eyes on them. Dracula had the last painting hanging right where he wanted and then fixing it when he notice it was angle off just a smidge. With that done, he turn his focus back onto his family and couldn't help grinning as he watch them.

Martha seem to have the patience of a saint as she work to keep their child from running off and ruining all her hard work to have her looking nice for tonight. "Now Marian just hold still. Mama is almost done here." She was tying a shiny red ribbon and arranging it to resemble bat wings before smoothing out her wavy tresses one last time.

Marian was pouting cutely as she couldn't help but whine as only a fifty-five year old who was still the equivalent of a mortal child would. "But Mummy, Grandpa is late; he said he was going to be here soon."

"And he will, little mouse, but you know how he is; it's not easy to fly from his home to ours. He's not as young as he used to be." With Castle Lubov in the Slovakia region and the two vampire parents were happy in their arrangements despite the bearing concern from Drac's father on his only son and family living so close to the human territory. But Dracula was sure that they could handle things as he would not let anything happen to his family. Martha was six months along but still just as beautiful as the day he met her that fateful moonlit night. He treasure every waking moment they share together and knew that Martha return that love tenfold with hers.

Who would have thought that a being like himself would be allow such happiness. Mortals who saw them as monsters and probably assume they had no understanding of the word emotions or even love, ah how foolish they were to think that. The dark count knew he was counting his blessing for being given this wonderful life and didn't want to see anything to happen to his wife or their children. He turned his eyes over to his daughter who was finally free from her mother and went to go look outside the large window. Marian look just like Martha but having such bright fiery green eyes that were like Martha's late great grandmother hence the given name pass on to her. They were like two sparkling emerald gemstones that shine with such brightness, seeing the glowing happiness set within her small cherub face and knowing the reason for why such enthusiasm.

Dracula had been a bit anxious on having his father come spend time with them and even hearing his plans on 'where' he wanted to take Marian this evening which made him more on edge. It had been quite a long time, ages even since he set foot in that world but his father swore he wasn't going to let anything happen on their little trip over there. Martha who seeing as Dracula look like he was ready to refuse but telling him how good an opportunity for their daughter to see what the other side was like and also give them some free time to themselves while Vlad watch over Marian in their absences.
