Short Story: Vampire-Gothic

The infamous vampire, Dagon, has kidnapped yet another girl for his pleasure. Although most of the village has turned a blind eye, the girl's brother refuses to let the fiend have his sister, and thus vows to rescure her.
​
The young man sprints through the forest, desparately trying to find his sister, Emily, be she dead or alive, when he arrives at the vampire's private domicile, a white dilapidated house in the clearing of the woods.

He finds the fiend on the terrance, soaking in the moon, drinking a glass of red wine. Fearing the red liquid could be his sister's blood, he fashions wooden branches into weapons and steels himself for battle.
