Chapter 1
Vampire Vlad V (Book 1)
The subway was empty. As a young and fairly attractive woman, I tend to prefer a more crowded car, but the others were empty as well. I sat down and read the ads posted near the ceiling. At the next stop, a tall, white-haired, distinguished-looking gentleman entered the car. He did not sit down but, after staring at me for a moment, nodded politely. This guy was from another era, for sure. He was dressed in a black suit, with black cowboy boots and a black cape. Or maybe the cape was a trench coat; it was drizzling in New York City that night, and he wore it like a cape. On the other hand, he might have been a clergyman.
He held himself very erect and tall, almost regally. He did not hold on to any of the handlebars for support, even when the subway stopped rather abruptly. He had perfect balance. I saw him notice the book I was holding in my hand. It was one of the latest vampire books. I felt embarrassed and somehow uneasy – I was alone with a man who looked like, you know, a vampire, and I was holding a book about vampires.
I couldn’t help but examine him – yes, examine him. His hair, as I said, was white, combed back, and he was as pale as a sheet of paper. I first thought he was an albino, but his eyebrows were salt-and-pepper dark. He had a narrow, straight nose, not too long, not too short. He was clean-shaven, and his lips were thin and purple – not red or pink, but purple. Could he have been one of the living dead? No, he didn’t look like a corpse.
His black jacket was double-breasted, and a blood-red handkerchief protruded in a perfect triangle from his breast pocket. The rest of his outfit was normal, except for the black cowboy boots. What was up with that? A vampire in cowboy boots. He was tall, so he didn’t need the added advantage of higher heels. Maybe it was, like, a fashion statement or something.
On his right ring finger, he wore an enormous and intricate gold ring. Walking at night with such a treasure was hazardous. As he raised his hand to smooth his hair, I observed a gold watch on his left wrist. This guy was for sure taking his chances, going around at night in Manhattan like that.
Deep black eyes looked back at me intently. He noticed me scanning him. After I had inspected him like a piece of merchandise, I decided to act more civilly. I smiled at him. He smiled back and showed his perfect teeth, except that he was missing his upper canines. You know – the pointy teeth on either side of the front incisor teeth. I guess Medicare doesn’t cover all of a senior citizen’s dental needs.
A New York City transit cop came into our car through the end door, doing his rounds to keep the subway safe. He walked nonchalantly; it was a slow evening, on Sunday at 9 pm. Neither the older gentleman nor I gave him cause for suspicion, so he was relaxed. We were very much the image of the law-abiding, responsible citizens politicians refer to in their speeches. The cop passed by, giving each of us a short nod as we exchanged glances with him. He moved on to the next car.
At the next stop, three young guys wearing chain-studded leather and weird Goth makeup saw me from the platform. Here I was, a
