my younger brother had been born. I was only a year older then he, so I do not remember him. My father was murdered, by a group of men who are ruthless and spread fear among my people. They are called The Order of The Dragon.” I sat up straight, and my mouth dropped open in shock. I knew that name. I knew it all too well, and for the first time in my life I could say I knew it, unfortunately. I had to get out of here quickly. I was becoming very uncomfortable with this conversation quickly. I needed to get home and confront my father or at least sneak into his study and look through those creepy old books of his. There was no way that this could be true.
       Willa and I had much more in common than she was aware of. I on the other hand was becoming more aware of our fates as she told me of her parents. I just wasn’t sure if she knew as much as I did.
       “Willa, I’m really sorry about your family. It sounds terrible. I wish I could somehow take it all back and make things right for you, but I wouldn’t know what that would be or even where to begin.” But I did know where to begin and I needed to get home to start looking for the clues that I needed to help Willa find some sort of peace.
       “I know where you can begin” she said as she leaned over and took my face gently in her hands and pulled me close to her. She kissed me and all thoughts of avenging her family left my mind. All I was aware of now was of her and her perfect rose pink lips brushing gently against mine. I pulled her into my arms and held her tightly to me as we kissed. I was lost in time and love until the lights to the Eckles front porch flicked on and there stood Stephanie glaring at us as we very publicly made out in front of her house. We laughed and released each other. “I will call you later Johnathan. And despite all that went wrong this evening I had a wonderful time.”
       “You can definitely say it was not a dull date by any dating standards out there.” I had to admit Willa was right, even though so many things had gone wrong the night ended on a great high. One which kept me hoping the entire way home that I could eventually fully have Willa as my own.
       On my way back to my house, I kept replaying the night over and over in my head. So many things went wrong and a lot more went right.
       I was fully prepared to confront my father about this Order of the Dragon, as soon as I had enough information about it. I knew that name because it had been the name of the Order that my Great- Great-Great, Grandfather had wrote about in his famous book Dracula. Supposedly Dracula was the term used for that specific Order. The Order of the Dragon. The name Dracula and that order go hand in hand, and I wanted to know why Willa’s Father had been murdered by this Order and what it had to do with Dracula, and some fictional book my ancestor had wrote.

       It was late by the time I had arrived back to my house. I pulled the Jeep into the garage and went to get out, I had forgot that the driver’s side door was jammed shut. Damn it, two accidents in one day was going to really piss my dad off. This time I was going to have to come up with a better story. I did not need him finding out that I had went on a date with the very girl he specifically forbid me to be friends with. I climbed through the jeep and exited from the passenger side. I walked around to the driver side of the Jeep to inspect the damage. The door had been pushed in by an inch, no wonder it was jammed. Its hinges were bent as well. I couldn’t even remember how it could have happened. The whole scene with the wolf attack had been a blur in the beginning.
       “Johnathan you’re home son. Come on in the house I wanted to talk to you about something.” My dad scared the living hell out of me, I hadn’t seen him standing in the shadows of the garage. He walked over and looked at the door of the Jeep then looked at me. He
