After working in the amusement park for so many years Derek carefully cultivated a mental block to ignore the large thrums of humans that passed through Dracula’s castle. It was easier to go through the daylight hours being able to skim over the uninteresting ones and selectively ‘entertain’ on whoever he chose.

‘Ugh this is so lame, do you see those lights? Totally low budget.’ 

Unfortunately Graduate Students where an entirely different mass to ignore. The vampire continued to pleasantly, if stiffly lead the group through the castle. It had only been five minutes and he was half tempted to ditch the most obnoxious group down an elevator shaft. The night was young. 

 ‘Come on Drac, why don’t you show us something that doesn’t suck so much.’ the group erupted in laughter at the latest shitty joke. Derek wanted to scream, but he ignored the teen. Vaguely he could sense one of his coworkers making their way through behind walls. Good, he wasn’t alone to deal with this mess. 

“Kindly continue down the hall, and keep your feet light. You never know what’s lurking beyond the shadows.” He spun the practiced verse with the most charmingly fake grin he could muster. He might’ve rushed the group beyond the doors, and closing them forcefully behind them. His scowl slide properly into place.

He didn’t fully regard his co-worker coming near him, but spoke clearly enough to catch their attention. “Listen you’ve found me on the rare occasion I actually want to do my job. If only for the satisfaction to see those miscreants scream in terror.” If he couldn’t maul the pests the least he could get was the satisfaction of their screams.

He turned properly then, arms crossed and determined. “And I can only assume you’re here as another scare factor. So tell me, how scary can you be?”
