An entity inside the mansion stirred from its ancient slumber.It dropped from the ceiling and flipped in midair to land on its legs on the dark floorboards.
It could sense that it's gargoyles had been destroyed.Hopefully that meant meat and blood to consume.It had been more then a thousand years since it last got to consume a living creature.
It had to lock and seal itself away when it's surroundings became devoid of life and it started to lose itself.Its family had also grown dependent on its blood and flesh which greatly weakened it over the centuries.
It knew it should've kept some humans around as livestock all those years ago.Sure consuming an entire city's worth of nutritious humans with it's family was beneficial to their strengh in the short term but they began to starve when all the humans hiding in the city died.
It should've been patient but that was in the past now it would simply wait for the intruders and hopefully regain it's strengh.
...
As soon as the group of 29 youths sorted themselves into about 6 groups they entered the mansion.Before they could properly split up however they entered a large room.
The room was large enough to inhabit 1/6 of the space within the mansion despite the entrance leading straight into it.
"Is this place larger on the inside then the outside." Wondered Ren as he watched the interior of the room in awe.
There were two doors on both sides of the room along with 1 stair case on both front corners of the room.The stairs led to a balcony with which people could look down on those who entered through the front door.Within the balcony were two doors which probably led to the second floor of the mansion.
The room was adorned with all kinds of bronze pipes of all sizes.There were even some exposed pipes that acted as a sort of trough.Within these pipes appeared to be blood and small bits of flesh.There were abnormal entities feeding on the contents of the pipes.
These creatures appeared to be horribly malformed with some looking like humanoids and others looking like human hound hybrids or wendigos or abominations with too many arms or legs.They either had too many eyes or mouths with them being in all sorts of strange places or positions.Some even had malformed wings and other strange features.
"Greetings human cattle to the mansion of count Andreus.You have made it just in time for feeding time.You are honoured guests and we no longer have to feed on our masters flesh and blood.We'll eat some of you and keep the rest for cattle.I hope your okay with that." A beautiful voice rang out from the interior balcony in which a malformed woman appeared.
The woman had dark blue skin and a diamond shaped head on top of a curvaceous body that would make any man drool.She wore a black dress that one would wear to a funeral.Her head with long dark blue hair was anything but however as it didn't have a face.All it had was large,plump diagonal lips.
Despite her hideous appearance all the male members of the group felt charmed by her.Even Raphael who wasn't all that interested in women was charmed.
They all found themselves staring too long at her before they finally snapped out of it.Raphael was the first to do so with Ren being the second as he was somewhat asexual and wasn't that interested in women.Ren was still affected by the entity's charm however as a part of him was still interested in romance.
"Who are you?" Raphael blurted out.
"I am the counts wife and the second most powerful vampire within this mansion.As things stand however I am the current strongest in the mansion.You would do well to show me respect." The malformed countess proceeded to do a loud singular clap with her hands.
All of a sudden entities burst out of the six doors into the entrance room.Battle occurred as the youths and vampires charged towards each other.Raphael jumped towards the balcony with the vampire countess as she was the strongest vampire in the room.She was even stronger then Ren.
"Oh are you gonna chase me then?" The vampire countess' non existant face unfurled revealing a larger maw with dozens of pointed teeth.A long purple tongue moved over them as the countess licked her mouth.
Ren could feel that he wasn't a match for the countess so he let Raphael go after her.He would just slow Raphael down if he joined him.
Something got Rens attention however as he saw that whenever a vampire was killed they would have the blood and some flesh drained from their corpse before it dissipated into smoke.This blood and flesh would then enter the numerous pipes within the room and head to an unknown location.It appeared to be heading up.
