Isaac Pov

                    Flashback

It was another "cool" night. When you live in the desert, all there is...is heat. No escape from it. One benefit from living here is being able to hear someone's footsteps on the sand. Which is exactly what I'm hearing now. I grabbed my spiked whip and held it close. A man with long black hair and red eyes walked in. He wore nothing but black. I knew him as Dracula.

"I heard you moving across the sand." I say.

"That's very good, Isaac. Most people can't hear me moving at all." He says.

"There's nothing out here but the sand.And even the wolves don't come close to my little home. What brings you out here?" I ask.

"You." He replied simply.

"You have need of my work." I say, grabbing the whip tighter.

"Invite me across your threshold, Isaac." He said.

His voice was normal but I knew it was like a demand. And I obeyed. We walked across various halls and ended up at the east wing. We sat down and drank water.

"Do you remember how we first meet, Isaac?" He asked.

"That would be difficult to forget." I say.

"Say the words. So I know you are still my friend." He said.

"I was being hunted by the brigand magicians who wanted to kill me, cuts me up and sell my parts to other magicians. Someone like me is, in parts of the world. A rich supply of ingredients for potions, spells, and even aphrodisiacs. And you saved me." I said, recalling the memory.

"I did." He confirmed.

"The only person in the world who ever lifted a hand to protect me from anything. And he was not a human." I said, disappointed in my kind (humans)

"You are still my friend."

"I am."

"I do have need of your work. The human race has betrayed me for one final time, and they must be punished." Dracula said with nothing but hate.

"War, then?" I asked, not hating the idea. "You need an army of the night?"

"You sound suspicious."

"You're not human. Your passions are rare and pure. War sounds like a small thing for you. It's the word you choose, but it's not what you mean." I figured.

"No. I mean to end of the human race."

"And you want my help to do it."

"Yes."

"Even though I'm a human being."

"Yes."

"Do you remember my first words to you?"

"Yes."

"Indulge me, Master Dracula. So that I may know you are still my friend."

"You said, "I have no fear of death, it always sounded peaceful to me.""

I gave a small smile.

"I will be loyal to the end." What I say is true. "And beyond. Let us begin."
