Standing back in the castle knowing what he knew now the place had a much different feel to it. It was late and nobody was around but even if they were Emily had a key which was a surprise to him. The last time they were there they did the normal tour but the whole place seemed different now
They walked in to what looked like an old library or study and Ben watched as she walked over to a small red book and pulled on it. She took a few steps back as the bookcase slid back and moved over showing a staircase going down.
"To the Batcave then?" He said standing behind her."
"I knew you'd like that." She said with a smile before descending down the stairs.
The spiral stairs went on for about 50 feet before they arrived at a large metal door with a key pad to which he watched Emily punch in a few numbers which opened up another panel with a small hole that she stuck her thumb in. She let out a small ouch before removing her thumb and sucking the blood off of it.
"You alright?" He asked.
"Yeah its just a blood verification system to let me in."
The door opened in to a large dark room. He could see a bunch of small red lights and hear what sounded like machines humming. Emily hit a switch which turned on all the lights. Ben looked around at a large room that looked like a laboratory. There were lights and switches everywhere and a large metal looking box in the center of the room.
"As cool as this all is, where is Vlad?"
"In here." She said pointing at the large metal box. "Were you expecting a coffin or something?" She said with a little sarcasm.
"Well, yeah actually."
"Sorry to disappoint you." She said before she opened a small glass container on top of the metal box.
He watched as she squeezed a few drops of blood from her thumb in to the container before closing it again hitting a button on the side. She walked over to the head of the box and pushed a few more buttons before she took Ben by the hand and started walking towards the exit.
"Where are we going?"
"Back upstairs, give him some time to wake up."
"What did you do?"
"By putting my blood in there it tells him who is waking him up, so he knows who or what to expect."
"Ok, well then let's head back upstairs then." He said following her out and back up.
They sat in the study for about an hour. Neither one of them spoke as they were both a little nervous about how he would react to being awoken after all these years. Ben's stomach was in knots as they waited. He never met him and didn't know what to expect as he had nothing to base him on other than what he saw in movies and read in stories.
"So... tell me about him."
"Vlad?"
"Yeah, what's he like?"
"He's... Vlad."
"That tells me nothing."
"I don't know how to describe him, he's always been very kind to me. I know he had a very bloody past but. Once he wanted to rule everything but in time he became more... different. He wants to live and let the world live without getting involved."
"Sounds complicated."
"He's a complicated man."
They suddenly heard footsteps on the stairs coming up. Ben stood up ready for anything as Emily stayed in her chair watching the entrance like a hawk. She could see the shadow getting closer and Ben was feeling even more nervous but he tried to make sure she didn't see it.
Suddenly a man in a silk robe came walking through the opening. He looked like he was in his late 30's early 40's and had dark short hair with some grey on the sides. Ben thought he looked like someone who could play James Bond. He didn't even look at Ben but looked straight at Emily. After a moment or two he smiled and put his arms out before walking towards her.
"Emily my dear, it's so good to see you." He said as Emily stood up and gave him a big hug.
Ben could detect a slight accent but wasn't sure where it was from.
"It's good to see you too." She responded.
Ben wasn't sure what to do or say and just stood there watching.
"My word have you always been this beautiful?" Vlad said making Emily blush a little.
"I want to introduce you to my husband." She said motioning towards Ben. "This is Ben."
"Benjamin." He said putting out his hand to shake his.
Ben took his hand and he could feel his grip which got tighter as they shook. Ben squeezed back trying to show he wasn't weak but felt stupid trying as he was shaking hands with Dracula.
"It is an honor to meet you sir." He said.
"Honor?" He said before releasing his hand.
"Yes, Emily has told me a lot about you."
"Relax Kid, If you are truly Emily's husband than we're family. Nice grip by the way." He said before walking over to his chair and sitting down.
"So my dear." He said looking back at Emily. "I trust you aren't just to say hi?"
"I'm sorry, I wouldn't have awoken you but I didn't know who else to turn to."
"What year is this?"
"2016."
"Really, That long? Well I guess it was time, tell me, are Vampire movies still horrible?"
"I'm afraid so, some are even worse."
"Ugh, anyway, what brings you here?"
"David I'm afraid."
"David? Ha, the fool still wants what he cannot have."
"I'm afraid so, he showed up at my home and attacked Ben."
"Really?" He said looking over at Ben. "just showed up unannounced?"
"Yes, he said he wants me back and I think he plans on Killing Ben."
"Interesting, so what is you want me to do? Kill him?"
"No, I would never ask you to do that, It's just I didn't know who to turn to."
"Emily, you know I will always help you if I can." He said before looking over at Ben." Emily could you excuse us for a few moments, I want to have a chat with your husband here."
"Of course." she said before she smiled and looked over at Ben. She stopped near him on her way out and said "I won't be far."
Ben watched her leave the room before looking back at his host.
