Chapter 1<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cCordy, Angel can\u2019t\u2026can he?\u201d Fred leaned in closer to the TV screen.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course not.\u201d Cordelia tossed more popcorn into her mouth as the small image of Gary Oldman dressed in flowing black mesmerized a terrified and turned on Winona Ryder. \u201cPfft, Angel wishes, he could shut me up so easily. \u201d Cordelia shrugged.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe seems to be kind of enjoying it. Sort of.\u201d Fred glanced back at Cordelia.<\/p>\n

\u201cMore proof it\u2019s fiction. Bad fiction, but Gary Oldman is kind of sexy. Real vampires though, definitely not something I want in my bedroom, creepy, not sexy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCordy!?\u201d Fred dropped her jaw in protest. \u201cAngel\u2019s a real vampire. I mean not that you want him in your bedroom, though, he does stay in there when you are sick and dying and stuff and you go into his an awful lot. But, I mean Angel\u2019s handsome, not creepy at all.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wesley moved to make their presence known. He really didn\u2019t want to listen to Fred expound on Angel\u2019s virtues. The vampire held out his arm, stopping Wesley. Angel waited wanting to hear Cordelia\u2019s response. Gunn remained still, smiling. He figured this could get good.<\/p>\n

Cordelia raised both brows. \u201cFirst, Angel\u2019s bedroom is where Connor sleeps. And yes, of course Angel\u2019s handsome. But he\u2019s Angel, he\u2019s no Dracula.\u201d She pointed to the screen as Gary Oldman, acting as Dracula hypnotized his young victim played by Winona Ryder.<\/p>\n

\u201c Not a dark brooding sexy spell casting fiend tantalizing and threatening young virgins.\u201d Cordelia pursed her lips. \u201cOkay, Angel is dark and brooding\u2026.and okay, I\u2019ll give you maybe sexy, MAYBE. But not the other part…Unless we\u2019re talking about Angelus, but he just terrorized and killed, not wacky weird mind erotic stuff. That\u2019s Dracula. Pfft, she\u2019s so stupid; has she not heard of a stake? Fiction.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cordelia got up from the couch and jumped as she saw Angel, Wesley and Gunn. \u201cOh, hi. We didn\u2019t hear you come in. How did it go? Bad ugly thing dead? I don\u2019t see why I couldn\u2019t go. Vision-pain a thing of the past. Pfft.\u201d<\/p>\n

Angel just stared trying to figure out why he wanted to growl and break the TV.<\/p>\n

\u201cEarth to Angel? How did it go?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFine.\u201d Wesley stepped past the still silent vampire.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s wrong with him? Angel,\u201d Cordelia moved in front of the vampire waving her hand in front of his face. \u201cYou weren\u2019t hurt were you? Let me see.\u201d Her hands suddenly going for his leather jacket.<\/p>\n

Angel brushed at her hands. \u201cI wasn\u2019t hurt. What are you watching?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s Coppola\u2019s Dracula, definitely no Godfather.\u201d Gunn went to the couch shaking his head in disgust. \u201cIt\u2019s movies like this that make vamps all sexy and women hot and bothered, but it ain\u2019t Gary Oldman that you would be letting into your bedroom.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGee, Gunn, really?\u201d Cordelia rolled her eyes towards the black man and then turned back to Angel. \u201cIf you\u2019re not hurt why are you so quiet. What happened? Why are you descending into major brood funkdom?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy are you watching a movie about Dracula?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cUh,\u201d Cordelia shrugged. \u201cIt was either that or The Brady Brides<\/i>. Before my time, don\u2019t see the appeal of Marcia and Jan\u2019s double wedding mishaps.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut, you see the appeal of Dracula?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSure, it\u2019s a sexy movie. Stupid but sexy.\u201d Cordelia looked back to the screen, then back at Angel. \u201cDid Bram Stoker even meet a vampire? Where did he come up with this stuff? Sure, he got some of it right. But the shape shifting, the \u2018ohh\u2019 gaze into my eyes crap? Come on, bats? Pfft.\u201d<\/p>\n

Angel looked at the TV wondering how not to answer Cordelia\u2019s questions. He never liked Dracula. The older vampire was an arrogant showboat. Angel wasn\u2019t sure why he was getting mad.<\/p>\n

Cordelia wasn\u2019t enthralled with Dracula or even the concept of him, and Dracula was not really present, just an image on the TV. So why was Angel feeling very uneasy and angry. It was Dracula. Angel, Angelus, it didn\u2019t matter. Angel just didn\u2019t like the older vampire.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t know. Gee, what\u2019s good about being so old if you can\u2019t give first hand gossip? Hmmph.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cStoker knew Dracula.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cordelia turned from her path and headed straight back for Angel. \u201cStoker knew Dracula? You mean he knew a vampire. Dracula is fictional. Based on Vlad the Impaler, who was alive in the 15th century. Stroker didn\u2019t write Dracula until the 19th century. What? I read, know stuff, Geez. The highlights aren\u2019t real you know.\u201d Cordelia glared at the other\u2019s surprised expressions.<\/p>\n

Well, everybody but Angel. He didn\u2019t look surprised that Cordelia would know who actually wrote Dracula; Angel just looked annoyed.<\/p>\n

Angel shrugged. \u201cVlad, whatever. Dracula was real. Egotistical, wanted to be famous, so he got Stoker to immortalize him. It wasn’t enough that he could live forever, he wanted everyone to know. Arrogant bastard.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fred got off the couch and headed over to Angel, anticipation clear on her face. Gunn even moved closer. Wesley raised his brow at the vampire. \u201cWas? Dracula\u2019s death was never recorded in the Council\u2019s archives.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cordelia\u2019s gaze broke away from Angel and turned on Wesley. \u201cYou knew?\u201d<\/p>\n

Wesley shrugged and took of his glasses. \u201cOne of Stoker\u2019s intimates, Gerald St. John, was on the council, unknown to Stoker of course. St. John was intrigued by Stoker\u2019s work of \u2018fiction\u2019; several of the characteristics of his gothic villain fit the true traits of a vampire. And as Bram Stoker was closer to a stereotypical Irish literary figure than his biographies elude, St. John proceed to keep Stoker \u2018entertained\u2019 and drunk until St. John got the whole story.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd\u201d Gunn waved his hands.<\/p>\n

Angel rolled his eyes and headed for the stairs. \u201cI\u2019m going to check on Connor.\u201d Seeing his son was a far sight better than listening to Wesley talk about the origins of Bram Stoker\u2019s Dracula. Angelus lived through it.<\/p>\n

It was the book\u2019s popularity and Dracula\u2019s annoying presence in London to reap the benefits of his sudden celebrity that Angelus, Darla, Drusilla, and Spike headed for Romania. In retrospect, Angel was grateful that they left otherwise he may have never been cursed with a soul in 1898 and the miraculous blessings of his family he received over an hundred years after that.<\/p>\n

But at the time, the burgeoning \u2018legend\u2019 of Dracula had just pissed Angelus off. And Angel now, even with a soul couldn\u2019t find one good thing to say about the older vampire.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, what got into his<\/em> blood wheaties?\u201d Cordelia\u2019s eyes followed Angel\u2019s ascent upstairs. \u201cHe\u2019s grumpy.\u201d Cordelia looked back to Wesley and Gunn. \u201cEverything did go okay? Right? I mean, you killed the demon, saved the people, no weird, well extra weird stuff happened, did it? No blondes showed up?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was cool.\u201d Gunn shrugged.<\/p>\n

Cordelia scrunched up her face and sighed. She would find out later what was wrong with her best friend. Angel had been acting strange lately and Cordelia was not going to sit by and wait like she did during Angel\u2019s so called \u2018beige\u2019 period.<\/p>\n

That had been a horrible mistake. One that she would never do again. But, Angel just seemed broody not cold so she could hear what Wesley had to say. \u201cSo spill, Wesley. What did the St. guy find out?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSt. John. Well, it seemed that Dracula met Stoker in a pub in 1890. Stoker wasn\u2019t sure why Dracula picked him to write his story, but he did. The vampire knew that Stoker was a writer. Bram Stoker had just published his first novel.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe dude wrote stuff other than Dracula<\/i>?\u201d Gunn asked from his position on the lobby counter.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, but he\u2019s best known for Dracula <\/i>. Actually, The Lady of the Shroud<\/i> and The Lair of the White Worm\u00a0<\/i>were written in the early part of the 20th century, they are quite interesting\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWes, DRACULA.\u201d Cordelia interrupted impatiently.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, right.\u201d Wesley put on his glasses. \u201cWell, that\u2019s it really as far as the novel goes. Dracula told of his original trip from Transylvania to England.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was really from Transylvania?\u201d Fred shifted in her chair.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat about the bat thing? I never saw a vamp turn into a winged rat, never. Seen rats and vamps in LA, never were they one in the same, acted the same but weren\u2019t, you know, the same.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDid he look like Bela Lugosi or Gary Oldman? Did he get any of the franchise rights from his name and imagine. Geez, if he did, wow.\u201d Cordelia looked back up at the stairs. \u201cWhy couldn\u2019t have Angelus done that, instead no, he just pillaged and plundered with Darla, no concept of the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

The occupants of the lobby, as well as Angel who had come down, stared at Cordelia. Angel decided that while he wanted no part of the talk about Dracula, he wanted to make sure that Cordelia realized that the Count vampire was an asshole.<\/p>\n

Angel wasn\u2019t sure why, but he\u00a0was aware of the appeal of the fictionalized Dracula had to a lot of the female mortal population, and he just wanted to make sure Cordelia knew the truth. Not that he thought she would ever romanticize the vampire or any vampire for that matter.<\/p>\n

Cordelia was pretty adamant about the disadvantages and ‘eww’ factor of ever being attracted to a vampire. Regretfully. Angel shook his head. Angel wished Fred had never mentioned the \u2018K\u2019 word, Lorne never read him, never said out loud Angel\u2019s hidden thoughts about the seer, that she was an extraordinary, beautiful woman. Angel wished he never saw Cordelia leaning in the doorframe of his bedroom dressed to the nines, in a dress that hid nothing of her glorious curves.<\/p>\n

For that matter, Angel wished he never saw or touched the flesh of those curves. Sure, tormented lovers had possessed them at the ballet, but that didn\u2019t change the fact that Angel remembered the taste and feel of Cordelia\u2019s skin. Angel gulped the cross between a groan and growl back down his throat. And there was the fact that the Cordelia was able to be in \u2018love\u2019 with Groo. That idiot had been a demon, well half demon. Thank god, she realized that she wasn\u2019t in love with him, just in love with the idea of being in love with the buff cartoon hero.<\/p>\n

Angel was just glad that he hadn\u2019t gone with his first instinct when he saw Groo standing in his hotel, kissing his seer. It was much better that Cordelia realized her mistake while he had been supportive rather than Angel just killing the Plyea deposed ruler on sight.<\/p>\n

But the fact that she could be attracted to Groo, a half demon\u2026Angel hid his sigh. Doyle was a half demon, too. Obviously, Cordelia wasn\u2019t a demonphobe; she just wasn\u2019t attracted to Angel. Angel wished he could blame it on being a vampire. But\u2026Angel perked up.<\/p>\n

It just wasn\u2019t that he was a vampire demon, but there was the threat of Angelus. That would make any intelligent woman afraid to be attracted to him. Angel frowned again. Except Angelus didn\u2019t exist anymore.<\/p>\n

He perked up again. Cordelia didn\u2019t know that. No one did, except maybe Lorne. Angel frowned again. That green demon knew way too much for Angel\u2019s peace of mind.<\/p>\n

Angel looked up as he finally realized that no one had commented on Cordelia\u2019s question or statement, that now they all were staring at him. \u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n

Cordelia rolled her eyes. \u201cYou\u2019re acting weird. All, I meant was that if Angelus had felt the need to be immortalized by fiction and had kept the residual rights. You could\u2019ve had a cereal named after you. It couldn\u2019t be Count Angelus\u2026.\u201d Cordelia paused. \u201cWas Dracula even a real Count? Well, if Angelus had\u2026no Notre Dame worries, bills paid, and a ski condo\u2026..and a boat. Hmmph.\u201d<\/p>\n

The eyes of the room were back on Cordelia. \u201cWhat?\u201d she shrugged off their stares and turned to Angel. \u201cSo, did Dracula look like Bela or Gary\u2026or Frank Langella\u2026Please don\u2019t tell he looked like George Hamilton? No vampire is that tanned, not even close, maybe Jason Patrick or Kiefer Sutherland?\u201d Cordelia finished hopefully.<\/p>\n

Wesley took off his glasses again. \u201cWhere was I? I have no inclination. Was I talking about Bram Stoker? I seem to recall it, but now I\u2019m not sure.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNone of the above. The copyright went to Stoker, so no residuals. Yes. And no robot chipmunks on ice or moonlit cruises.\u201d Angel said.<\/p>\n

Now Wesley, Gunn, and Fred\u2019s eyes were on Angel.<\/p>\n

\u201cHmmph. No fun.\u201d Cordelia pouted.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow\u2019d he do that? The vamp understood.\u201d Gunn nudged at Fred.<\/p>\n

\u201cKryemption, it is the only explanation. And you think I babble.\u201d Fred nudged her glasses.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat wasn\u2019t babble that was a hyperbola, only capable by Cordelia.\u201d Wesley whispered.<\/p>\n

\u201cWes, you were telling us about Stoker and Dracula. Hurry up. It\u2019s close to Connor\u2019s singing time. Is he already asleep?\u201d Cordelia looked to the vampire.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes.\u201d Angel said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, thank you very much, Mr. Long wind.\u201d Cordelia glared at Wesley.<\/p>\n

Wesley just blinked and shoved on his glasses. \u201cOnce St. John knew that Stoker had gotten his story from a real vampire, he went back to the council and started the recording of Dracula. It turns out that the story that Stoker told was primarily accurate as to the individuals involved. There was a Jonathan and Mina Parker, Lucy, and Van Hessling etc.. The names and time period were changed but not by much. The only place that Stoker took dramatic license was in Dracula\u2019s supernatural traits- no shape-shift ability, animal or mist, or hypnotic power over his victims and of course Dracula\u2019s demise at the end of the novel. Physical appearance, I don\u2019t know. There is no known authentic picture of Dracula.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the book is substantially true, then the majority of Dracula\u2019s enemies lived, but if he didn\u2019t die why did he let them live?\u201d Cordelia asked. \u201cAngelus wouldn\u2019t have.\u201d Cordelia looked at Angel for confirmation.<\/p>\n

Angel narrowed his eyes at the young woman. Ever since the night at the ballet, the appearance of Groo and the leaving of Groo, Cordelia had been bringing up his soulless identity more and more. It was always in a matter fact tone but always recounting some horrible act of the vampire he had been or what he would do in a current situation if he were too lose his soul. Angel had truly been angry when he had overheard her talking to Connor about Angelus.<\/p>\n

The only reason he didn\u2019t act on his anger was because Cordelia had immediately changed her tune and tone, apologizing too the infant. She then proceeded to tell the baby how brave and wonderful Angel was.<\/p>\n

Cordelia hadn\u2019t known Angel was outside the door. Angel knew this because if she had he would\u2019ve have never seen the tears and the abject sincerity and remorse on her face as she hugged Connor, telling the small baby not to listen to her last bit of nonsense, that she was just in a cranky mood that Connor was so very lucky to have a father like Angel that they all were lucky to have the vampire in their lives.<\/p>\n

And then she told Connor how Angel saved the world. Angel didn\u2019t quite remember saving the world but Cordelia made him sound quite brave and strong. His anger had disappeared in that moment of seeing Connor in Cordelia\u2019s arms and her whispering exaggerated and heroic tales of Angel. Then when she finally noticed the vampire\u2019s presence, she placed the baby gently in his bassinet and ran to Angel, clutching his shirt.<\/p>\n

And told him never not to believe that he wasn\u2019t good, wonderful and a spectacular father. Angel tried to grab her but in that instant his vampire reflexes weren\u2019t up too the task. Cordelia ran from the hotel. The next morning the tears, the sorrow, the regret were gone, all that was shown was cheeriness and a great big smile.<\/p>\n

Wesley spoke filling the vampire\u2019s silence. \u201cActually, we don\u2019t know that for sure. Van Holen the true Van Helsing lived a natural life span.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cVan Holen? He was amazing. He was a scholar on so many different levels. A doctor, psychologist, mathematician\u2026.He should have won Nobel Peace Prize. But\u2026\u201d Fred frowned trying to remember the facts. \u201cHe just disappeared.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, he had made some enemies and doubters in his interest in the supernatural.\u201d Wesley aided the young woman\u2019s memory. \u201cAnd when the academic scoffed at his very legitimate theory on certain psychotic disorders he withdrew from that world and concentrated on the supernatural. Van Holen was a great source for the Council. Very revered. As for James and Miranda Patterson they disappeared, their last records tracing them to America.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDracula killed them.\u201d Angel said.<\/p>\n

Wesley rubbed his brow. \u201cOh, I\u2019d hoped they lived a long life after their encounter.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey got on the ship, but never left England. No, there was a big party in London. Dracula still had influence over the woman. She led her husband to the\u2026.\u201d Angel paused. \u201cThe event. After a time, Dracula gave them to the appreciative audience after making them jump through a bloody bizarre circus performance.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cInfluence? The hypo wacky mind stuff was real?\u201d Cordelia stepped back from Angel.<\/p>\n

Angel wanted to step forward and reassure the young woman. The sudden influx of fear centering on her, compelled him to ease it, to make it go away. But, Angel was also afraid. Cordelia had already compiled so many reasons, most very valid, as to why Angel would never be an object of her affection other than as a friend. He didn\u2019t want to add one more. He started to try to explain but Cordelia interrupted him.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve experienced a few vampire\u2019s in my time, Angelus included. None of them ever did that mind mojo. NONE.\u201d<\/p>\n

Angel waited two seconds, taking a breath, trying to figure out what to say. The others in the hotel had become still at the fate of James and Miranda, now they were just waiting for his answer. Cordelia had been the only one to speak and now she was silent and scared. Of him.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen Stoker\u2019s novel was written, Dracula had been a vampire for several hundred years. Those years he spent as a Count in Transylvania. After the first hundred he stopped hiding his true nature. Or at least he encouraged the awe and terror of the superstition that surrounded him. But as the many years went on, human blood became harder too get. His holdings were located in the darkest and wildest part of Eastern Europe. People didn\u2019t flock there. The peasants that weren\u2019t willingly submissive or just plain terrified left, as a result the supplies dwindled. That\u2019s why he left for England. Britain was soon to enter into its industrial age. Queen Victoria was a powerful ruler. England was where to be. The New World was showing strength and promise, but it wasn\u2019t old. It didn\u2019t have the grandeur, the elitist society, yet. So, Dracula came to London.”<\/p>\n

Angel paused. He hadn\u2019t really explained anything, but he was stalling to gather his words. He didn\u2019t want to frighten or disturb his human family. Angel knew that they knew vampires, but he also, knew that they didn\u2019t, not really.<\/p>\n

\u201cShape-shifting, no. Not a vampire trait. But, Dracula could. His isolation allowed him the time to learn magic. His hypnosis\u2026Vampire\u2019s can manipulate a human\u2019s mind\u2026If they know how.\u201d He added quickly at the human\u2019s gasp.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot all vampire\u2019s know how, most don\u2019t care to know. Most have no use for it. Dracula has the ability to enthrall a human. He liked it. It was more of the submissive adoration that he was used to. So, he was able to get to the women, cuz he could get into their mind. They let him in. Willingly, sort of.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAngelus, YOU?\u201d Cordelia glared and choked at the same time.<\/p>\n

Angel thought a moment. It actually didn\u2019t take long to figure out the answer that would satisfy his clearly agitated seer. \u201cAngelus never bothered. And when have I ever been able to control or manipulate you into doing anything that you didn\u2019t want to?\u201d<\/p>\n

Cordelia scrunched up her face. \u201cYou have that \u2018look\u2019, that puppy dog face.\u201d She glared at Angel.<\/p>\n

Angel was saved from trying to answer by Wesley. \u201cCordelia. Please. We are talking about a vampire\u2019s ability for mind control over a mortal, not Angel\u2019s pathetic attempts to get you to listen to him and at least pretend to do what he asks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Angel thought he should be offended or angry, but since the glare was off Cordelia\u2019s face, he decided he would just be grateful to Wesley.<\/p>\n

\u201cHmmph sounds all fishy to me. Okay, I\u2019m bored. Dracula is\/was real. Don\u2019t care. Don\u2019t even care that brood guy didn\u2019t say what the most popular vamp looked liked.\u201d Cordelia paused. \u201cSo, is Lestat real? Does he look like Tom Cruise?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNO.\u201d Both Angel and Wesley yelled. The men looked at each other and added in a more controlled tone. \u201cAnne Rice\u2019s vampire\u2019s are truly fiction.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDamn. Louis sounded really cute. And Brad Pitt, to die for. Oh well, I\u2019m going to see if Connor wants to wake up for a song.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCordy.\u201d Angel called.<\/p>\n
