Josh was bored! No he wasn't just bored. He was completely and utterly bored! And to think that he was excited when the great Vampire Council allowed him to become one of the guardians! Of course there were only 200 of the guardians and they are selected from most powerful loyal and fearsome vampires that work for the council but still at this point he understood that there is nothing so legendary or great about this job! It's just like being a guard to some warehouse, you patrol, eat, sleep, patrol again and so on… In other words it was boring.

But today something was going to happen! Something big! He could feel it! And his instincts have never before failed him. It was his gift. Every vampire had one. The Gift of Darkness was what every vampire got when they were turned or born. And to every vampire it was different. To him it was instincts and with age they would turn into powerful Sight. One of his friends could heal himself momentarily and other could turn himself into a flock of bats.

So he sat here waiting and waiting and waiting…

Shit! He just didn't have the patience to wait for something to happen! This was jus too stupid! How could anything happen here! He was on the wall of the most feared castle in the world! Nothing ever happens here! But as soon as he thought that something did happen, something big!

The clouds in the sky suddenly started moving with unseen speed and soon clouded the white moon and the stars as the thick layer of fog started to spread from the walls of the castle into the forest. There were a howls heard in the distance as the wind became more violent. After some time the fog from the ground started to rise in a tornado-like manor around the castle, slowly gut surely it rose up to Josh and even hither in some places.

He was about to panic but he saw the other guardian running towards the main hall of the castle so he guessed that it is where he must be heading too. So using his vampire powers he jumped down the wall which was six stories height and without hesitation ran towards the hall. When he got there a mere minutes later he found everyone already assembled discussing these strange happenings. Then the head guardian screamed for silence and announced that The Council was notified and are on their way here. And they never visited this place before so this could mean one thing… "Oh fuck…" Was the only thing that Josh could think of right now and he could guess that the others were thinking the same thing.

After a hour Josh stood near the entrance dressed in traditional guardian dress robes and waiting for The Council to enter the tower to greet his master. The only thing that he didn't know that thru the last couple hundred years The Council has enjoyed their power way too much to just give it away. So they have decided that the Lord of Vampires was simply too old to rule as he once did so he must be terminated since he is just too powerful and may oppose them. They also were afraid that he will not like the fact that they have made an alliance with the wizard known as Voldemort since he is known for not involving in any wizard affairs.

So being the most powerful and old vampires alive they would destroy the old one and rule further.

They went thru the gates of the Dark Castle and straight to in the direction of the tower. The guards were loyal only to them and will not interfere. As they passed they could feel the sheer dark power radiating from the stone tower. Without thinking they put one arm on their weapons just to feel safer. But it just didn't help. So they went thru the entrance of the tower and up the stairs. The tower had no windows so it was completely dark.

They entered thru the main door of the chamber and closed the door behind them only to find that the only thing that had some light on it was the floor where they were standing. Everything else was covered by darkness which even their sight which was even more powerful than normal vampires couldn't see thru. The only things they heard were some kind of faint and mostly disgusting sounds of something growing, expanding, reconstructing. Like the flesh of the living being torn apart and placed together again.

After a couple more minutes it stopped and council members stood in ear deafening silence. No one had enough courage to move or speak. Suddenly fires flared in each side of the dark carpet that lead to the stone throne and now the council could see but what they saw wasn't what they expected. Up the stairs on the throne sat a young man in the middle of his twenties with long black hair and sharp features. A part of his face was still covered in shadows as he had one had on his face. His clothes were brand new and very modern. He wore a long leather jacket with black pants and black shirt. There were a couple of belts around his waist and a silver chain on his neck. He looked tired but still had one hand placed on the handle of the mysterious blade.

He looked dangerous and powerful while the members of the council thought that he would be some king of half alive being which would rely on their help completely just to stay alive. Of course they really didn't know what to expect while coming here because the original council that the old one has appointed personally who knew him personally and knew how he would awake was overthrown and the members killed more than couple hundreds of years ago by none other that them.

So now they stood here without any knowledge what to say or do. Gathering their courage one by one they started walking towards the throne. They moved slowly and carefully. They were half way there when He spoke.

"What happened to my council" He asked. It wasn't a threat or a demand it was just a simple question. So why did the 20 members of the council fell like they are in such deep shit?

"There was a war between Vampire clans and since council tried to maintain peace they were destroyed…" Said the leader of the present council hoping that the being before him wouldn't understand that he was lying.

"I see… Then tell me what the current situation of vampire people is?" He asked without looking at them.

"All the clans are at peace with each other and with the werewolves. But we did join the wizard war. We have taken a side of Dark Lord known as Voldemort." He said carefully hoping that they would not have to take brutal means against the ancient one.

But as it appears luck was not on their side today…

The atmosphere in the room suddenly changed as the light became lesser and shadows lengthened. The council members again put their hands on their weapons and told themselves that they were only ones who have a right to rule and anyone who opposed them had to die. (A/N: Doesn't this remind you of someone?)

"I have specifically ordered that vampire nation should not include itself into any wars without my permission. I would like know why this order was disobeyed…" He asked raising his head and letting them see his eyes. They were gloving grey and just by looking at them you could presume the age of this creature. But the foolish council members decided that it's just a trick so they paid no mind to his eyes.

"The offer he made us was…" Began the leader but he never did finish as the creature stood up slowly and started walking down the stairs his direction and everyone else presumed that he would attack so they drew their swords and tapped into their reserves of blood magic.

Seeing this old one only bowed his head so that the hair covered his eyes and only a smile on his face could be seen.

"I figured that it would be hard to control vampire nation but I newer expected for it to turn against me." He said still smiling.

They stood that way for ten minutes no one spoke or moved. Finally some council member blinded by pride and power decided that he could win this fight alone and using his reserves of blood magic he attacked with incredible speed. But He was ready He always is. He dropped on one knee while his attacker was still in the air and grabbed a small stone from the ground. As he looked up his eyes suddenly turned electric blue and he threw the little stone. The council member never had time to react as the stone was thrown with such power that it passed right thru his heart. He was already dust when he hit the ground. His sword fell right in front of the kneeling being whose eyes have returned to their natural color.

The others had two choices at that point. One they could drop on their knees and beg for forgiveness and two they could attack. And the problem with politicks is that they never admit that they lost. So they decided to attack. Well poor them.

As they ran forward barely touching the ground their victim jus smiled as his eyes again became electric blue. He grabbed the sword in front of him and threw it into the advancing enemies. Some of them jumped aside to avoid the weapon but some were not that fortunate or fast so three of them were injured and one died as the sword went thru his neck detaching his head.

As the first one was close enough to attack he swung it into the head of his victim only to have it pass thru him as he turned into pure energy and in a form of grey mist flew on top of his throne.

"You thick you can defeat me?" He asked with a laugh. "I am Count Nikolai Drakulia and I will not loose…" He said as he grabbed his ancient sword. His eyes were full of hatred and now were dark yellow.

Most of the council could not move as he jumped up and held his sword above his head eyes burning red. He slashed his sword down and powerful wind sped towards his enemies. Those who had enough power jumped aside but all the others were torn into peaces by a tornado-like force. When wind was gone and only dust now cowered most of the floor five left stood up and began to look for the Count. He was nowhere in sight but they knew that he was somewhere close. They didn't have to look for long because he simply walked out of the shadows eyes blazing and sword in his hand. He stood calmly between them and the door. Before they could even begin to attack and hope to get out Dracula raised his sword and thrust it into the ground until only the handle was left. The effect was just too quick for left council members to react. Huge spikes shot from the ground and four out of five were in dust before they could even scream.

The leader was the only one standing. But after seeing what just happened it was a miracle that he didn't faint. As the Count pulled his sword out of the ground spun it in his hand a couple of times and sheltered it. Then he turned to last one standing his eyes back to grey. He started walking towards him.

"Now you will do as I tell you to right?" He asked in a low and dangerous voice. After a fierce nod he continued. "You will go and tell that self proclaimed Dark Lord to go fuck himself and that he is not going to get any help from vampire nation. Then take 50 of your best men and tell them that they have to be ready to leave into England soon. Don't give them any equipment they'll get it when they'll arrive. Do I make myself clear?" Another nod "Now go" He said as the pathetic vampire bowed and ran thru the door.

Again darkness fell on the chamber as the oldest and most powerful vampire sat into his stone throne and smiled. "This should be interesting" He thought before he closed his eyes and the last fires went down and he was swallowed by the darkness.

"So you're telling us that you've been chosen by death itself to finish off those who don't want to die. And you need us to help you with it for a couple thousand years…" Gabriel said back after Raziel explained to them what did he want from them. They were already back at his house in London and now sat in the dining room.

"Yeah that's basically it…" He said with a stupid expression on his face.

"You're the most original case we got since… forever!" Ray said with amusement looking at the same metal ball in his hand which purpose Harry couldn't figure out.

"So you're in?" Harry asked hopefully.

"Hell yeah!" Gabriel shouted.

"This should be interesting." Ray said.

And after receiving nods from other two who were lurking in the shadows of the room and haven't said a word the whole time he began explaining the current situation to them. He told them about the current position of the ministry of magic and the little club of Dumbledore. Then he began speaking about Voldemorts positions about the spheres of influence about their forces and so on. The conversation took about a couple of hours and it was decided that Voldemort will go down first and then Dumbledore. There would have to be a financial source for their operations since the money that he had was just not enough. It was decided that it has to be in the muggle world because that way wizards will have more problems finding it. They all agreed that the main force would have to be vampires but there still was a problem about equipment because if they start ordering huge amounts of weaponry armor potion ingredients and so on they would attract attention. After long discussion they decided that they would order it in other countries so the risk of being discovered will be less even if the price will be higher. They even worked on such details as what to do when the task is finished. And decided that all the businesses equipment and property will be sold accounts closed and they would leave England with a personal aircraft in unregistered flight. That way no one could track them.

Satisfied with the days work Harry went to bed as his four bodyguards who did not need to sleep went out looking for a good business opportunity illegal muggle and wizard arms dealer or went to train. They would report to him the next day. And just before he went to sleep he sat into his chair at the office and began writing a letter. He didn't have a clue how to start or whom was he writing to but he hoped that it would do well. When he was finished he found Sebastian on the bookshelf waiting for him. Harry sealed the letter and gave to the raven.

"Take this to most powerful vampire you can find" He said hoping that this would work because he didn't know where to look for them himself.

With a nod Sebastian disappeared using into his ice mist which simply faded leaving no trace of the raven. So Harry sighed and went to bed.

Unknown to him later that night his letter would be read by very approving gloving grey eyes.

TBC…

Well how is it? Sorry but I got a little carried away with the whole Dracula thing. I hoped it would be one page and the rest about the preparations plus I really wanted to write some kind of a fight! But I got the other way around… Oh well next chapter will probably be Harry in Transylvania and the preparations.

By the way this is my new record! This chapter was done in two days! Weeeeeeeeee! (All the other time I was gathering my thoughts together so don't blame me for laziness!)
