"No! Jack no! That is stupid idea!" North yells.
"It doesn't seem like I have much choice." I point out.
"But how do we know this is not an empty threat?" Bunny asks.
"Trust me, it is." I say.
I run my fingers through my hair.
"I have to do it. It's the only way I know for sure who I am." I say.
"Jack, he's Dracula!" Bunny yells.
"Yep." I sigh.
"Jack, please, there has to be another way." Tooth says.
"There isn't." The man jumps down.
Everyone glares. They take out their weapons.
"You never told me your name." I say.
"Avan." He answers.
He pulls of his hood.
"Avan, why now?" I ask.
"Now... you are starting to remember. It is time you stop listening to ghosts." Avan answers.
"But you want me to meet with a Vampire?" I raise an eyebrow.
"We are all the same, the living dead." He walks forward.
I draw back. He comes right in front of me.
"Wait... I'm not dead." I say.
He presses onto my chest.
"Then where did you get the scar?" Avan whispers in my ears.
That struck a nerve. I wince as his finger presses onto my chest. My hand raises my staff. I shoot ice at him. He slams into the globe. I let out a breath. He laughs. He stands up. He dusts himself off.
"You still have that fighting spirit." He rises into the air.
"At least we agree on something." I say.
"Your father is anxious to meet you, come along, do not keep him waiting." He says.
"Okay, I'm coming." I fly up.
"Jack." Tooth grabs my arm.
I look at her.
"Be careful, please." She says.
"I will." I smile.
"Any day now." Avan hisses.
"Don't worry. I'll be fine." I say.
