“ But…you had fangs!” Danny’s voice was laced with evident annoyance but wavered as he spoke.

Vlad, sensing an opportunity to both frighten the teen and shut him up, motioned the sixteen-year-old forward. Once within whisper distance, Vlad sneered jovially, “ If you were curious, next time just ask.” Opening his mouth ever so slightly he allowed the teeth to reveal themselves from under the guise.

Daniel starred in perplexed amazement. “ Woah! Wait. You mean you always have had those?”

Daniel leaned in closer making Vlad slightly uncomfortable.

Annoyed, he leered, “ Always? Pfffff. Spectral fangs just came up a few years after my little accident while I was in the hospital. It unnerves people so I keep them cloaked.”

Daniel rubbed his chin in thought. “So what about that cloak or cape you wear when you transform? It wasn’t some weird wear cosplay to science class day was it?” Daniel suppressed a snicker at the thought.

Vlad’s eyebrow lifted questioningly and his usually stoic face contorted in confusion. “Cosplay?” He questioned. Seeing Daniel’s amused smirk Vlad assumed insult.

“ I’ll have you know Daniel, I didn’t get the luxury of quick zap powers like a certain hyperactive brat.” He glared at the floating phantom, fangs fully exposed and his voice laced in venom.

Raising up his white-gloved hands, Daniel frowned apologetically, “ Sorry, I meant no offense fruit-loop.”

Vlad, still angry, continued. “ My cosplayas you so sarcastically put it just developed with my powers as I shifted from sickly human to half-ghost. I had no say in the matter.”

“ Vlad, do you realize how hilarious this is?” Daniel stifled a laugh. “ Your name is Vlad, you have fangs, and you have a cape!” He pointed toward Vlad’s annoyed skowl accusingly. “You’re an accidental Dracula knock off!”

Vlad’s eyebrow twitched. “ At least I’m not the half-ghost equivalent of insta-ramen, Mr. one minute spook,” Vlad smirked.
