The New Guest: Charlie Magne X Dracula Reader (Rewriting In Progress)

The Hotel

(Third Person)

(YN) continued his walk through the streets of Pentagram City. Demons who were nearby immediately moved to give him more space on the sidewalk. Some even snapped pictures of him when they were far enough behind, no doubt trying to get into the gossip on Hell's newest celebrity. He was too uninterested to infer on exactly why. Was it their fear, respect, or admiration of him? The vampire couldn't care less. He's been all of the above for his entire life and undeath.

Just more additions on the list of things that the vampire had gotten bored off. (YN) chuckled at the thought of being compared to the video game character, Izuru Kamukura over their shared crippling boredom. He sensed a presence darker from all the casual demons around him. It seemed to be observing him. (YN) stopped and reached out with his senses, attempting to get a read on their intentions and location. All he got in response was static in his head. " Interesting, very interesting. " The vampire thought. (YN) shrugged off the search and continued his trek to the hotel. He inferred that they would meet again soon.

(YN)'s P.O.V

I found the hotel which was frankly not all that difficult. All you had to do was keep walking till you found the most clustered up building you've ever seen. How there was a cruise ship somehow attached on the right side was beyond me. If the Princess of Hell was aiming for unique then she certainly succeeded. The lights were on but there were no cars in the lot. I knocked on the door just in case but received no answer.

Luckily asking to enter isn't a problem anymore, not that it was ever a problem of course. My body turned to mist as I flowed under the door and reemerged physically on the other side. No one's here so oh well. They're probably still coming back from the news. I sat on one of the chairs in the dark lobby but immediately got off from how dusty it was. The place would've looked nicer if it weren't for the aforementioned dust and cobwebs. A small part of the ceiling looked suitable so I jumped up and dangled from the spot like a bat.

How we vampires are able to stick to surfaces at will even with shoes is not something even the legends could explain. Just some powers I guess. They didn't appear to be coming anytime soon so I closed my eyes and rested a bit.

My deep rest turned sleep was interrupted someone's face walked into mine. " Oh! " The voice shouted. It was only a slight nose collision but the person stumbled back a bit and held onto my face with both hands as support, our faces only 6 inches apart. One of their companions turned on the lights. We stared into each other's surprised eyes, her soft and warm hands still resting on both sides of my face. My eyes widened more when I noticed who she was, Charlotte or Charlie Magne.

" Well Miss Magne. " I said sheepishly with a smile. " This is certainly an awkward introduction. " Charlie blushed heavily and stepped away in a stuttering mess. I landed back on the ground to explain myself but another female demon charged me with a ridged spear. She had grayish skin and long white hair that covered a large portion of her face. I'm intruding so best make this short. I caught the spear between my hands and thrust it upwards, sending it up. The demon went for a kick but I palm struck her in the chest. She was sent back but backflipped in front of Charlie and got into a defensive stance.

That strike didn't have that much force for obvious reasons. I caught the falling spear and eyed it. " Decent craftsmanship by my standards. " I then calmly chucked the spear at her. She was surprised by my actions but caught her spear and got back into stance. Charlie held her back before she could charge again.

" Vaggie please stop I don't think he means any harm. " She reasoned. " He gave you your weapon back. " Vaggie glared at me then Charlie. " Then why did he break in here?! " She asked while continuing her threatening glances. I raised my palms in a surrendering manner. " Apologies for my rude actions. " I said. " It's just after centuries of asking to come inside anywhere. Not having to do it is so, liberating! More apologies but it seems we haven't been properly introduced yet. " Charlie stepped closer to me and offered her hand.

" I'm Count Dracula. " I introduced while kissing her hand much to her surprise and Vaggie's dismay. Charlie attempted to hide her blush behind a wide smile. I went to greet Vaggie but her increasingly threatening glances discouraged me. She'll warm up to me eventually. They always do. Charlie's third companion strut up to me and wrapped his many limbs around me. He was a slim fury spider demon. " Well baby maybe you impale me later tonight? " He asked flirtatiously.

I raised an eyebrow at him then turned into a swarm of bats to escape his grasp. " I'd rather not. " I said after reforming. " That's Angel Dust. " Charlie said. " He's gay just so you know. " I nodded and watched as Charlie went outside to make a phone call. Vaggie continued to eye me cautiously. " I still don't trust you. " She said. " Why is that? " I asked. " Maybe it's because you're a bloodsucking psychotic womanizer? " I chuckled.

" I'll have you know that it's not about gender, race, age, or sexuality. " I explained. " It's about taste and quality while those other things are still factors. Being picky is the reason I've lived as long as I have. " I turned to the door and sighed. She was sad. I could sense it. " Let me talk to her. " I recommended. " Consider it an apology for intruding. " Vaggie mouthed her approval so I turned away then she called for me as I was about to open the door. " Please be careful. " She said. " She's been through a lot. " I nodded then opened the door. Charlie was just finishing her voicemail. " I'll stop talking before this gets long. Love you bye. " She finished then wiped her teary face.

(Third Person)

" Oh Count Drac-- " Charlie started before the vampire cut her off. " Please, call me (YN). " Charlie did her best to smile through her tears. (YN) sat beside her. He took out his handkerchief and handed it to her. " Thank you, (YN). " She said after wiping her face. " I'm sorry you have to see me like this when we only just met. " Charlie attempted to hand it back to him but was refused. " You can keep it Charlie. " (YN) assured. She folded it neatly and placed it onto her pocket. " So what saddens you? " He asked. " And I can tell it's more than just how bad the broadcast went. " Charlie sighed and turned to me. " It's my father, (YN). " She explained sadly. " I'm afraid he was right about me being a naive, misguided, failure. " She buried her face in her knees. Feeling sorry for her,

(YN) fished his handkerchief from her pocket then placed his hand on her shoulder in a comforting manner. " Charlie, could you please let me look at you? " (YN) asked. She stared at him with surprised widened eyes and a blushed face as he began softly wiping her tears away. " You mustn't lose faith in yourself, Charlie. " He said sincerely. " Have faith in yourself when others lack faith in you. "

The vampire got up and offered his hand to Charlie to get her up. She accepted and got up. (YN) turned to open the door but his other arm was softly tugged back. Charlie noticed she was holding his hand and let it go awkwardly " He looked back to Charlie. " I, I really appreciate what you did for me. " She said softly. " But you never told me why you came here in the first place. " (YN) shrugged. " I felt drawn here somehow. " He answered.

" Maybe it was to your idea of rehabilitation? My intention is to find out what, for it is a certainly non-boring mystery. " Charlie took it all in and gave an understanding smile. " Well I'm glad to have you here! " She said slightly louder. (YN) opened the door to let Charlie in first then closed it behind them. Vaggie looked relieved and in contained happiness to see her best friend feeling much better than before while Angel gave the Count a few thumbs up with his hands.

" Wait. " (YN) thought. " That presence is here! " His thoughts were interrupted by someone knocking on the door.

(Note from Nironus: Well guys that's the newest chapter! I'm sorry for making this one shorter than some of the rest but I was pressured to give you guys something since camping put me off schedule. Please tell me what you thought of this one!)
