The Character Of Dracula Takes Over : Character Of The Dracula

As I sped away from the clinic, I couldn't shake off the feeling of excitement and unease. The doctor's words kept echoing in my mind - "You're blessed with a kind of magical power to get any character's characteristics." I felt like I was on top of the world, ready to take on anything.

But my joyride was short-lived. A policeman, Officer Swan, noticed me speeding and pulled me over. I groaned, "Damn these coppers!" as I tapped my fingers on the dashboard.

Officer Swan approached my window, a hint of amusement on his face. "Well, well! Speeding over 100, I think you're a big fan of the blood sucker?"

I raised an eyebrow, playing along. "The Dracula?"

Officer Swan's eyes lit up. "Yeah! Yeah! That one. Anyways, the Dracula never had a car."

I started moving my head in a strange way, and Officer Swan looked at me with a mixture of confusion and curiosity. "I am the Dracula!" I declared, trying to sound as menacing as possible.

Officer Swan chuckled, clearly entertained. "Yup! That's the one. What a fantastic line it was! So, where are you coming from?"

I leaned in, trying to sound mysterious. "From the Dark Valley!"

Officer Swan raised an eyebrow. "Ookaaaay! And why were you speeding? Now, I am sure you look around 35, you should have a really reasonable answer to this one."

I sniffed, rolling my eyes creepily. "I was just trying to get to my dinner table with the blood and meat of innocent people, officer!"

Officer Swan's expression turned serious, but he seemed more fascinated than concerned. "Sorry? Ummm... why would you say that? Except for you're drunk or you have a medical card to connect to me..."

I leaned in closer, showing him my teeth. "Probably! Because it's true right now! I'm normal, but when the sun rises to its peak, I'll be the monster you never wish to encounter..."

Just then, a guy in a big onion costume walked up to the window, and I lost my composure. "Ahh! Onion!" I yelled, melting down in my seat.

The onion guy looked confused. "Oh! Hello officer and you too, sir. Going to a birthday party, you know?"

Officer Swan intervened, trying to calm me down. "Yeah! Sir, it's good to know. Sorry, our mate is not really feeling well at the time."

As the onion guy left, I turned to Officer Swan, still fixated on the onion. "Oh My Gosh! You see how frightening he was! Onions are deadly dedeous..."

Officer Swan smiled wryly. "Yeah! Pretty sure there is no word as dedeous, but okay. Alright, guy! You are seriously not okay! I will charge you just 2 dollars, is that fine? Can you afford it?"

I handed him a five-dollar bill. "Keep the change! Remember, the night is about to begin... I mean, after 12 hours. The monster in me will come out and get you! Those long teeth in your veins, tasty. For now, it's nasty, but at night, it will all be tasty... tasty enough to rinse my mouth."

Officer Swan watched me, intrigued. "Well, the monster? Hmm... tell me more about it."

I pulled down the window shield, revealing only my eyes. "Yeah! The monster, it is gonna chase you at night, 3:00 p.m... Yeah! It has been hunting now for I can't recall actually, for how many years, but today it will be special - first handsome officer as prey."

Officer Swan touched his collars awkwardly. "Oh! Ummm... Thanks, but by the way... the veils are also not allowed on your window, I mean on anyone's window. No matter who you are."

I started the car, looking at Officer Swan with an unsettling intensity. As I drove away, he called out, "Hey! Black mirrors are not legal!"

Officer Swan watched me leave, a thoughtful expression on his face. "This job is actually not that boring now. It is quite interesting if these kinds of people are let to live."
