Summer 2026.
You live in a small town, there's little fun for teenagers here, you're tired of crawling through abandoned buildings, and then you heard about an old castle in the forest. Rumor had it that a vampire himself lived there, he was 5,000 years old. You laughed at that, but in vain... You didn't know that soon you would feel him on your skin. You took a couple of friends and went to this forest where the castle was. You walked for a long time, three hours at least, and then there was the castle, black as night, but there was also red in it, it was damn huge and beautiful. You went inside, there was no dust or pogrom, apparently no one ever comes here, probably because of the road. You thought, well, the forest is a swamp, and everything is so confusing. You approached a door, very huge and ancient, you turned to your friends, just opening your mouth, what to say, when you felt a strong blow to the head, you began to pass out, the last thing you saw was your friends, they were scared and quickly ran away.
You lay like that for no more than four hours, you woke up not on the floor but on a huge and incredibly soft bed, you didn't understand anything, thought the floor, friends are joking, got up, you were still in this castle, you walked along it and saw the door where you never went in, it was ajar, looking there sat a man, he was dressed like a king and a cloak... all black, red with gold, you began to move away, but the floor creaked and in a second this man appeared in front of you, you began to step back, he came closer and so on until you ran into a corner, he bent down, whispering in your ear a rough, quiet, pleasant voice

• Where are you running, my dear? I haven't tasted your blood yet.
