[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]
We all know the stories of vampires. From Bram Stoker, to Blade, to Van Hellsing you can't find a person who has not heard about Dracula and the vampires. This is the story that you never heard of. This is the story of one of Dracula's children; this son will not be found on any historical document or story. He at one time went by the name of Fang. Well I am getting ahead of myself let me set the stage.
It all started before recorded history. The Devil himself unleashed an evil upon the world, a beings made in his image. These beings were the original creatures that we know as a vampire. Just as Adam and Eve were perfect so were the vampires perfect in ever way that evil could. The Vampires moved in the background though the ages, never aging themselves only taking what they needed and converting no-one. Then one day they snapped. The original Vampire Count Vladimir Dracula decided that he would hide no more. The rest is history, but what history doesn't tell is the story of Fang, Dracula's youngest son. Fang has rejected his heritage as long as he could remember, he always wished he was born human and didn't have to live forever. When his father started the massacres he ran and hid in nearby Europe where he hid from his family. He started his life a new in England and even found a human wife. He eventually told his wife who he really was and even though he was deeply in love with her and she was ill he refused to turn her. His father who had let him stay and live his life ignoring the fact that he even existed was disgusted by this. Being fed up with his son's actions and his denouncing their creator and asking god for repentance, Dracula curse Fang to live out eternity as something that was neither vampire nor human. He would age like a human but at death he would be reborn, only not to remember what all he was or had done.
Fang lived like this for many decades but what his father did not realize when he placed the curse was this was what god wanted and he was doing him a favor. God knew that Fang was repentant for the sins of his kind and controlled the places and times that Fang was reborn. Fang being able to remember almost nothing of what his previous life contained, nothing of the power that he really held or what he truly was. This contained for many years until he started to realize that he was different, and the past started coming back to him. Over the years and life times he mastered these skills. This brings us to present day where Fang is better known as Michael.
Michael was our everyday High School Student, or he would be if he wasn't such a dork. I mean he was a total geek half his classes had something to do with computers and the other he tried to get out of to go work on computers. He couldn't help it though as he had and unexplainable ability to memorize what he needed to do and because of this computers just came naturally. The first time he did something he would research and research until he found an answer then after solving the problem he would com up with simplified was of doing it with out know how. But he always could do that and didn't know how it was just on of the odd things about him but he didn't care he just wanted to be normal at all costs. He knew this wasn't going to happen anytime soon because he scared most people and those that he didn't scare were pissed at him for some reason. He knew this because as little as he tried just talking to someone somehow gave him the ability to read there minds and in some cases influence what they do. This was a good and a bad thing, most of the time it was bad but sometimes he was inexplicably drawn to people. But with all these powers he still couldn't land himself a girl-friend shit the only girl he really liked, liked him back but went with another guy, one of his best friends none the less. But he was used to this his whole life when ever he got even remotely close to a girl they would stray. They had no problem with being a friend or in some case he treated them like little sisters but none the less no girl-friends. But I digress, in the end god once again was looking out for him, although he didn't know it. Sharon the girl that he liked fell right in to his lap metaphorically speaking. Michael having something go his way was a rare thing and something about Sharon called to him. From deep inside his mind Fang spoke to him. This was anything new to Michael but at the least having Fang speak directly to him was something that didn't happen but once in a blue moon. He spoke with his mind and realized that he had known Sharon from somewhere else not more sometime else. He couldn't explain it but he knew that Sharon was his first every wife. How he knew this he couldn't explain but then again who this voice in his head by the name of Fang that clamed to be him was either. He just ended up adding it to the fact that he was crazy and needed help. But then as much as he knew there was something wrong with him there was something telling him that he shouldn't get help. Going though high school he ended up becoming more and more weird to the point that he would read nostradomis in class. This scared a few people but most of his class mates ignored it but when he started interpreting them correctly he decided to keep it to himself. When he finally completed high school he rejoiced at this hell in his life. Little did he know that it was about to get worse.
He was free or was he something had drawn him into the military. Within a few months of graduation he was on his way to become a soldier. God that thought scared him all though basic he had a tough time. Not only was he tall and lanky so he should out it seemed like even here where everyone is supposed to be equal they all hated him. Then on top of that his powers started to come out at inopportune times. He had be recycled once already he didn't need something to happen to him again then he get to meet his new flight and then he also meets the ghosts that are in the dorm with them. Just wishing they would go away he ignored them but then I happened. They wouldn't leave him alone and started calling attention to themselves. He spent that first night communicating with the ghosts and telling ghost stories to the flight. He continued to weird out the flight but for some reason they were not as pissed off at him as the previous flight had been. He did it he made it though basic training, he even got the ghosts to help out at the graduation. Finally he made it though the next hurtle in his life.
He made it to Tech School how he did it he didn't know. He hated being here it was something that he didn't want to do but he knew he had to. He wanted to be home where he could be with Sharon she was his wife in the past and he wanted to keep her close and protect her. He went to school and when he came home he would talk to her on the phone but in the end that just made it worse. School wasn't any good because he learned everything faster then they could teach it or he already knew it. After getting in trouble a couple of times for not paying attention in class he just lost himself in his mind while he was in class. This too caused problems as he was talking to himself on a regular basis and came to the realization that his father was after him. He also worried over what he really was, he knew that over the years that he had been many things but he could not figure out what he truly was. He sacred people here to, this time for partly for a reason that he knew of, he did things that probably would have been smarter if he didn't do. Through all of this he made it though, it took him almost killing himself several times but god wouldn't allow him. No matter how upset he was or what he had available he was never able to do it. This did bring out the blood lust though, from that point on the inner vampire wanted him to break the curse and let his inner vampire out. This was his father's work he knew that and to stop it he locked up his inner self with the help of medication. After this he lucked out and got time to go home, he did this with pleasure and took this chance to marry Sharon. He came back to Tech School a happy person; he finished his time and once again came back to his home to get his wife, thus ending one of the easier times in his life.
(I apologize for the lack of detail in the previous sections but the following is a fresher in my mind)
Well to bring you up to the time when the main problem started. The military had brought Michael and his now once again wife Sharon, to a Podunk town in the middle of Georgia. They settled in easily enough and for once in his life he was making friends, his life was making a turn for the better. He became a workaholic and buried himself in his job. Him and his friends got together and went to a convention there he met her. He could not explain why but he always seemed to see someone around the convention. He never got a good look at her or knew who she was. Then on the last day she came up and talked with them. He still didn't know who she was or where she was from. Lucky for him he was able to encourage his friend to help find her. They found her name was Nicole and that she lived in the area. They started going to a group that she was part of and he immediately took to her, he couldn't explain why but he was drawn to her on a subconscious level. He slowly became closer to her, he couldn't explain it but he believed that in a past life she was someone close that he must protect. He thought at first a sister or daughter but he knew this wasn't the case. He came to the conclusion that she was a niece in his original life and due to some sort of problem with her family he watched over her. Through all of this he almost lost Nicole by being to forward but in the end she stayed with him and he was able to use Nicole's strength to help him unlock more of his inner being. Something about the people that were around him these days brought out things that scared even him. He stated using powers that he couldn't explain and as much as he tried he was unable to come up with an explanation of why he was different. That was one thing that he was not able to know. The feeling that his transformation was coming was occurring more and more often but he was still able to stop it. He knew that he would soon become something more but he felt that when it was time god would let him know. He managed to scare Nicole as well as a few of his friends, as more and more of his group was formed around him his strength grow, this caused problems especially when he would read peoples minds with out meaning too.
