who you gonna call?
1500: Castle Dracula
The sound of the trumpets and drums awoke him. He knew what this meant. They were coming. The army fighting against the Order of the Dragon would die tonight. How dare they attack the love of his life: his castle. This told everyone around the land that he was the wealthiest here, he ruled it, and he was the Prince.
The war was long and bloody, like they all were, but the townspeople never stopped talking about what the Prince did. He impaled the army around his castle, on stakes, telling everyone this is what happens when you go against the Prince and the Order of the Dragon. Rumors around the town also said that the dead there never rested.

The night called to him. As it always did. The creatures of the night were his children and he cared for each and every one of them. He stood upon the balcony of his castle looking upon the night sky, hearing the howling of the wolves in the background. It was a full moon and you could see the large blue full moon peaking out over the vast amounts of trees and mountains that surrounded his castle.
He knew what was about to happen. He was going to have two new guests in his castle. This made him think of Jonathan Harker. What a doll that one was. He honestly thought he was there to take care of the Counts finances; little did he know he was dinner. He did keep Jonathan in the castle for many many years. Rumors have it that he left behind a fiancé named Mina. What a tragedy.
He looked at his phone and laughed. Technology was quite amazing now days. He wished he had this back in the 17th century, but was very happy he had this now. It was easier to get a hold of his two new guests. He left them a message about dinner when they arrived. It would be ready for them because he knew they would both have a long journey.
He knew Strange was here to take care of some issue. The Vampire Nation was having a problem with the Avengers and Dracula volunteered to try and resolve it. The other one was a ghostbuster, she would be here to take care of a ghost problem, neither were here for that reason. Dracula had his reason for them both coming here and it was not good.
He thought of Harker. He had been here for what seems to be a hundred years, acting as his food, completely compelled to feed the Count, even acting as if he was in love with him. He allowed his brides to finally finish him off, but he did often think of Mina, what would have happened if she arrived for him? Would she have saved her fiancé? Or joined him in death?
Now he had these two coming here. His children of the night were howling, telling him that cars were arriving. They would be here any minute now. Surrounded by darkness, the castle lit up, the snow- capped mountains telling them this would be a very unique visit. The dark forest surrounding the castle as the wolves howled in the night. He stood on the balcony, his cape on, showing them a dark figure watching them arrive as he then headed to the staircase to walk down it and greet his guests. A fire was roaring in the living room, and the dining room was set for what appeared to be a delicious dinner, what they didn’t realize is they were the Count’s dinner.
