1940s

"Countess! Countess!"

Everyone in the mansion was awoken by the sound of a loud banging against the door and everyone gathered at the entrance area and watched as Butler opened the door.

In stormed Leo.

"Stop staying in one freaking spot. While you do, vampire Queens are popping up each second," he said out of breath.

"What?" The Countess asked in a low shattered voice.

"I need blood, I'm so tired." Leo said and fainted right there. The butler took him to a room and took care of him the entire evening.

The next day he woke up and found the butler asleep on a couch nearby and got up and took a shower. He got dressed and made his way downstairs where the Countess, Turnilupo and another man was having breakfast. And they got along well, they seemed to laugh and make jokes. He has grown on Turnilupo a bit, but she still doesn't like Gerard as much.

"Good morning," Leo greeted and they all replied in union.

"Who's this, your brother?" Gerard asked and the Countess looked at him. She liked Gerard a lot, enough to tell him the truth. But she doesn't know how he'd react.

"No, and Turnilupo isn't my sister either,"

"Elizabeth? What are you doing?" Turnilupo asked.

"Telling Gerard the truth. That is Leo, and he is a vampire. I'm a vampire Gerard, and Turnilupo is my lover,"

Everyone's eyes were on Gerard's, they were all studying him. Wondering what he'd say, but he didn't say anything for awhile. The room was filled with silence, and his facial expression was unfazed. Making it hard for them to know what he was thinking. It didn't help reading his mind, because he wasn't thinking anything. He just sat there, as if paralyzed by shock.

He cleared his throat, "um," was the first thing he has said to break the silence, "what?"

"We're vampires, including the butler and Turnilupo is a witch," Bathory said and his eyes grew and he watched Turnilupo. Fearing her.

"Relax Gerard, not all witches are bad," assured Bathory. She could hear his heart rate calming down.

"Why didn't any of you kill me already?" He asked.

"Because we like you,"

"They like you. I like Bathory and wouldn't hurt her by killing you," said Turnilupo.

"Vampires?" He said, still trying to figure this out.

"Are you going to have us killed?" She asked in a whisper. Gerard looked at her with huge eyes and shook his head.

"No...no I won't. Are you dangerous?" He asked her and she nodded her head.

"I'm ruthless and evil, but I won't harm you," she said and there was that silence again.

"I won't have you killed. You're still Countess Bathory that showed me kindness,"

When he said that, her heart sunk in relief. She jumped up and hugged him.

Leo cleared his throat and poured himself from the blood standing on the table. He wondered what Gerard thought it was.

The Countess released the hug and looked at him.

"Nicolene, Valerie, Corey, Lindsay. All vampire Queens. Countess," he said and bowed before her, "you need to take action. And quickly,"

"We need to know them, their weaknesses. But how?" Turnilupo asked.

"We could go undercover and join their coven," suggested Gerard and they were all surprised.

"We?" The Countess repeated.

"Yes, we. We will go undercover," Gerard repeated.

"That's a great idea,"

"I'm going after Corey-Ann, surprise surprise. In Corey's army is a very powerful witch with the name Alexis," Leo said and the Countess and Turnilupo looked at each other.

"Alexis?" Repeated Turnilupo, "my friend? Then I'm going after Corey,"

He nodded his head, "so what's the plan?"

The Countess cleared her throat, all eyes fell on her, "we find out their weakness and then we kill them. We'll kill the weaker ones and challenge the stronger ones and have them all fight for the title, "

"What title?" Gerard asked her.

She smirked, "The ultimate supreme Vampire Queen. There can only be one!"

They were to split up and go undercover to these covens and find out weaknesses and strengths and they were to spread out and find new covens too. That took centuries, some went directly to the covens while others went scouting first.
