Dracula in Storybrooke part 2
For Captain Swan Supernatural Summer 23
Once Upon a Time missing storyline/AU
Killian noticed a man staring at Emma.
He had on leather pants, leather boots, and his shirt was opened clear down to near his naval. Revealing a well toned chest.
“But greatly lacking in chest hair.” Killian thought smugly.
The man who introduced himself as Drake, gazed at Emma with fascination.
“My, my, you are by far the most beautiful creature I have ever seen. The very sun is dim in comparison to your golden hair.”
Killian rolled his eyes. Just who did this git think he was. It irritated him more to see that Emma was actually smiling at the fool.
Neither man knew it, but Emma’s smile was due to her seeing that the two men, who seemed to be trying to one up each other, were very much alike.
“I really must have a type.” She thought to herself.
Both men had dark hair, deep blue eyes, and accents.
Drake wore a shirt with most of the buttons undone, reminding Emma of Killian’s wardrobe before he started wearing modern clothes.
She sometimes wished Killian would go back to wearing those clothes, at least on some days. She had always loved how sexy and dangerous he looked.
Yet Killian was staring daggers at the man, as if he considered him a rival.
Killian didn’t like the pure hunger he saw in Drake’s eyes as he stared at Emma. It was too possessive.
“It’s strange how in this world, a woman can cover her whole body, and still her lovely form is revealed.” Drake’s eyes moved over Emma. “I look forward to discovering what other wonders this place has in store.”
“He’s a smooth one.” Granny commented. “My mother always said, “Beware of a silver tongue. It tends to lay next to the sharpest tooth.”
“He was awfully flirty with Emma.” Snow remarked in puzzlement. “She was pressed against Killian nearly the entire time. Obviously her heart belongs to him. But that didn’t stop Drake from showing his interest.”
“I think we need to keep a close eye on that guy.” Charming said with a scowl. Father’s instinct warned that Drake would bring nothing but trouble in his daughter’s life.
Just as the Sun had slipped under the horizon, one figure walked up to another in the shadows of the alleyway near Granny’s Diner.
"I would stay away from Emma Swan, if I were you. Captain Jones won't allow anyone to take her away from him."
"Captain Jones is a mortal. An ordinary simple man. What is he compared to one such as myself?"
“Captain Killian Jones is far from being a simple man. The pirate captain has faced God's, demons, and monsters and survived. You may be powerful, but you are far from the worst thing Captain Hook has faced.
There is also Emma Swan. She is not going to be easily seduced away from the man she went to the underworld for. Especially not by a man spouting fancy words and performing magic tricks that she could beat. One would wonder what it is you think you can offer her? From what I heard, your grand castle is in ruin."
“There are other castles. From what I understand, there are two castles long since abandoned in another land. The former residents now live in this world. In this town. If I understand correctly, Emma Swan would inherit both, should something happen to those former owners.”
“Even you can not believe that you could charm a lady into accepting you after killing her entire family.”
“The blood lust made my other brides accept the same. I do not think Emma Swan will be any different.”
“I think you will find that Emma Swan will be very different. But you have a tendency to be far too confident in your own prowess to see reason. I still want to caution you. I feel I owe you something, since you once offered me immortality. Would have given it to me, if you hadn’t been outwitted.
That bloodlust only works if you're in power. Mina was willing to forgive you in regard to her dearest friend Lucy when you blinded her with your seduction. But once Jonathan Harker and Dr. Van Helsing sealed you in that tomb, she reverted back to her old self. And she hated you for what you did.”
“I was careless. I didn’t anticipate Harker’s strength of spirit. Or his devotion to Mina. I shall use more patience. And will pay closer attention to the players. I underestimated my opponents before. I will not again.”
The Count from Transylvania smiled. “Despite your insistent loyalty to the man who stands between me and the woman who holds my salvation, it is good to see you again, Renfield.”
“It’s good to see you again, Vlad. But it’s Smee, now. Renfield got the reputation of a lunatic. No one would take him seriously. I had to change my name and do business in another port, to escape the shadow of your story.”
“Perhaps the ending to this story will be more to each of our likeings”
Smee didn’t say it, but he was certain this story’s end would be the same as the previous one.
"Emma, I think Count Drake is dangerous." Killian spoke in earnest, hoping to get her to understand that she should stay away from the man.
"I know he is. I think he's a vampire." She said it so matter of factly, it made Killian’s jaw drop.
"Oh, come on. Count Drake. Count Dracula. It was pretty obvious. Plus, he stayed away from the windows? Out of direct sunlight?"
Killian wanted to kick himself. His jealousy had blinded him to the real threat.
Emma wrapped her arms around Killian's neck. "You really need to stop being jealous of every guy who looks like he might be my type. I have my perfect man, the man I love, right here. I would never do anything to mess that up."
"I do trust you, love. It's me I don't trust. I can never be rid of the thought that I don’t deserve you. That you could have someone better."
Emma opened her mouth to argue with him,
"I know what you're going to say, love. But knowing that you love me and think I'm a hero is far different than actually believing it myself."
Emma knew what Killian was saying. But she still wished she could find some way of convincing him how important he was to her.
He always knew what to say to help her understand how special she was to him. She wished she had his gift with words, so she could return the favor.
An idea on how to remind him that he was one of the most important people in her life came to her.
She might have been bad with words. But she was really good with her actions.
Drake snarled in frustration. He wanted to burst in through the window and tear the lovers apart. He vowed that he would find a way to kill Killian Jones, and take Emma Swan for himself.
Killian’s instincts warned him that the woman he loved was in danger. He couldn’t shake the feeling that all of these attacks were only a precursor to a much bigger problem.
He wanted to find out more about the beings that were called vampires. He believed that knowing your enemy was the best way in the path to defeating him.
And while he did not think that Whale was lying to the group, Killian was certain that the doctor did not actually know as much as he thought he did.
So Killian went to the one person who had traveled the many realms and has encountered various beings of power.
William Smee.
Killian suspected his former first mate knew more about what was going on than he had admitted.
Smee was not without his resources, he knew how to protect himself from the monsters that constantly invaded Storybrooke.
