27 Chapter 12: The Trip to Transylvania, the Home of the Coun

Takeo asked Sarah, "so, what's the plan?". "We need to go to Drac's home, I'm sure you've heard of it", Sarah replied. "Transylvania?! You're kidding?", Kamilah said. "It exists and I know where it was, cuz I looked it up", Sarah said. "Isn't that place crawling with all kinds of big bad creatures?", Takeo asked. Sarah nodded. "I hope you have a quick way to get to Mid Europe", Kamilah said, walking up to her. Sarah pointed towards a lake nearby. "The moon's reflection on a body of water is a portal to his home", Sarah said. Kamilah hesitated, "We're going in w-water?!", she shakingly said. "Relax, it won't make us wet", Sarah reassured her. Kamilah sighed in relief. The three of them walked over to the lake. As they walked, Takeo tried to start a fire I. his hands, but only sparks came out. Then Takeo realized something by doing this. "Wait, before I wasn't able to even make sparks, but now I can? Hmmm I wonder..."

The three of them stood at the lakeside, where the moon's reflection was closest to them. "N-Now what?", Kamilah asked, nervous because of the idea of going in water. "Hold on to me, cuz the portal only opens for vampires, but if you hold onto one, you can go in too", Sarah said, getting a better hold on Takeo. Kamilah pondered then put her hand on Sarah's shoulder. Sarah stepped onto the lake, being able to walk on the water surface. Soon, the three was walking on the water, heading towards the moon's reflection. When Sarah got to the reflection, it glowed and a portal opened in it. "See?", Sarah said to Kamilah, but she was too shaky to retaliate. The three all took a step into the portal. "We've arrived at our destination, welcome to Transylvania", Sarah said, imitating a tour guide. "Geez, it reeks of edginess and gloom", Kamilah said, regaining her usual attitude and letting go of Takeo and Sarah. Kamilah and Takeo, who managed to get enough strength to walk on his own, began to walk towards the large castle in the distance while Sarah back and said to herself, "I never thought I'd be back here again, I wonder if my brother is awake by now". Takeo turned around and shouted to Sarah, "yo, Sarah, c'mon, what's wrong?". Sarah shouted back "Sorry" as she ran up to them.

"So what's the plan, Ms. Bloodsucker?", Kamilah asked to Sarah. Sarah, ignoring what she called her, replied, "I can sense that he's close to reawakening, so we need to act fast, now here's the plan". They need to use the same banishment spell used to seal him away the first time. Since Sarah read a book about his first time being out and about, she knows the spell well. When she said this, it caught Takeo's attention. "Hmmm..." Takeo began to suspect something from Sarah. "Something wrong, Také?" Sarah asked him due to him looking like he's deep in thought. "Hm? Nothing, nothing, it's fine" he replied, smiling. "Awww, you two have pet names for each other, y'all are so perfect for each other", Kamilah interrupted, mocking them. "Fuck off, Furball", Sarah retorted. "Furball?!" Kamilah said, growling. "Ladies, ladies, no need to cat fight over me", Takeo joked. "What?!" both Sarah and Kamilah said. "As if you're worth fighting over, please", Kamilah said. "I like you Takeo, but don't kid yourself, you're not that special", Sarah said. "Jesus Christ, ow, you two can be seriously brutal", Takeo said. Sarah chuckled and Kamilah smirked. "Now, I need two to keep anything that tries to stop me from using the spell away from me", Sarah continued. "But I'm still not in fighting condition", Takeo said. "You still have your strength and martial arts right? That'll do", she interrupted. Kamilah stood up and said, "well we know the plan, as shitty as it was, c'mon we need to hurry". The three of them walked off towards the castle. Meanwhile, not too far behind them, a figure, hiding in the shadows, says, "ah, they're right on time, now I think it's about time for them to see the beast within the beauty".
