Dracula

I

2017

Dax Sanders a guy trying to find his way in the world and also trying to see the world. He stays in one place for a month or two works until he has enough money than his off again.

His travels took him to Transylvania. He has been there for three days and has found a job in a small market place selling t-shirts, cups and other things to tours. It is sad to think that Vlad Dracula's legacy has turned into shirts and cups.

Growing up Dax always wanted to see Vlad home. A man of raw power and yet some kindness to him. Over the years Dax knew he developed a crush on the Princes. Some would think he was crazy to crush on a man let alone a dead one.

Dax was walking to his spot looking up at the castle that he has yet to see. This weekend they are having a lock-in for the night that he plans on going to. It's said that you can still see his ghost walking the empty halls. Rumors say that he had a male lover and when word got back that Vlad had been kill he killed himself so he could be with him.

But that just a rumor and Dax never believe something like that.

Once to his job Dax greeted his boss and friend Liviu. “Buna Dax,” Liviu said to Dax when he saw him. “Buna Liviu. ce fac astazi?” Dax asked. “Just fold the shirts and stock the rest of the stuff,” Liviu told him.

Liviu family owns the little shop and tells stories of the great princes that have be pass on through the family. Some of his family was in the war with him or they served him.

Dax did what he was told to do. Along with helping people and in between talking to Liviu. “ te duci la blocare?” Liviu asked Dax. “Da. Tu?” “ Nu. familie în oraș, și am auzit că cheamă la zăpadă.” Liviu told him. “I hope not I want to go,” Dax told him. “I know you do but when they call for snow it comes,” Liviu told him.

Dax and Liviu worked until it started to get dark and the streets started to empty. Dax walked back to the place he staying and turn on the TV. “blocarea castelului poate să fie aproape.” The news report said. “ dar nimic nu a fost inca inca. stați tunat pentru actualizări” Dax tune off the TV after the news went off.

‘I hope it doesn’t snow.’ Dax thought. He made some dinner, ate and head for bed. He has work early in the morning with all the tours in town the shop opens early.

The next day Dax walked to work and open it up. He beat Liviu which is a first. But then he remembers that Liviu has family in town so he may have to help them.

Vlad walked the hall of his castle. People have been running around his place. He overheard people talking about a lockdown in his castle. Night’s is all he has for himself and now he won’t have that with the lockdown.

‘pot obține doar pace’ Vlad thought. He hasn’t any peace since he die. He watched as his wife married some other guy not even a month after his ‘death’. He watched as his son’s where raise by another man. And most of all he finds out Teo his ‘amant’ had killed himself after hearing that he was killed on the battlefield.

He hoped to come back to fine Teo waiting for him in their room. Instead, he find his amant was gone. All-cause of him. Vlad stopped in front of their room. He has yet to go in there since he return and find out he was dead. He doesn’t want to remember that his amant die in that room cause of him. He wants to remember all the love they made in that room.

From dusk to dawn or just talking and holding one another until they fall asleep. That’s all he has left are those memories and he plans to keep them.

He walked back to his room that he uses to share with his wife. Making sure no one would see him. That’s all he needs is someone to see him and they tell someone and they tell someone, then this place would be filled with reporters, ghosts hunter and other people wanting to sneak a peek at him.

He made it to his room. One of the few rooms that no one can get into, including Teo and his room. He made sure that no one could go in there. He didn’t want them to dirty his memory. He made his way to the window. He looked up at the clouds in the sky. Snow is coming.

The snow was Teo's favorite thing in the world. It's all started when he first saw him. Vlad was out for a walked in the forest behind the castle. That’s when he saw him, Teo. He was standing there looking up at the sky letting the snowfall on his face. That day he knew he found his soulmate. And every day since he would go back there just to see if he could see him.

One day he decides he was going to talk to him. He walked to him. “My lord.” He said when he saw him. Vlad had everything plan out what to say and what to do, but once he saw him and was near him it all went away. Instead, Vlad walked up to him and kissed him.

When he pulled back to look at Teo, Teo pulled him back and kissed him back. That night was the first night they made love.

Vlad looked up at the sky once last time “Îmi pare atât de rău că nu am fost acolo pentru dragostea mea.” He said and walked to his bed where he cries himself to sleep every night since his return.
