Transylvania
At the Startrain, Cat Noir made sure to stay away from reflected objections since he cast no reflection. It was a lot to process from being turned into a vampire and quickly forgetting about being human.
He got his ticket by hypnotizing and got on the train, ready to live a new life as the undead. He hopes Ladybug knows what she's doing because if Shadow Moth claims her miraculous, it would be his fault. It didn't matter to him anymore because his enemy can't make his wish without the cat miraculous.
"Tickets, please," The conductor said.
"Here you go" Cat Noir gave him his ticket.
"Thank you" The conductor clips his ticket and hands it back.
The feline vampire knows that by the time he reaches his destination, it will be sunrise and he really doesn't want to get burned again. He gets up and goes to the bathroom and closed the door behind him. He sighs at his no reflection and took out a toothbrush to clean his fangs from the bloodstains. He brushed at where his teeth were to make them visible enough for the mirror. He can see the shape of his teeth and fangs in the mirror with toothpaste foam.
After spitting it out he wipes his mouth and got back to his seat. He took out a black hoodie from his backpack and puts it on to protect himself from the sun's ultraviolet rays. It's dawn and it won't be long until sunrise.
Upon arriving, he walks off the train and saw he has arrived in Cluj-Napoca, "Here we go" He said but then heard his staff phone ring and saw it's Ladybug calling. He scoffed in anger that she's probably calling him for assistance but she said she wanted him to stay out of the way. He ignored it and made his staff open to an umbrella option. He walks through the city. Staying in the city would be too dangerous. He needs transportation, a very old traditional transportation style. The horse.
Soon enough, he came near a farm where some horses were roaming in the field nearby. He had to move quickly before sunrise. There wasn't enough time because the sky is getting brighter and the sun hiding behind the mountains. He used his quick vampire speed and chose a black stallion but it got spooked and kicked its front legs.
"Whoa! Easy now!" He used his hypnosis to calm it down. He looked directly into the horse's eyes and made eye contact. The stallion calms down by looking straight in the hypnotic eyes and puts his front legs down, "Good boy. Now let's go" Cat Noir puts reins on the horse and got on him, urging him to move forward.

Back in Paris, Ladybug couldn't get a hold of her partner. She hoped she wasn't too harsh on him last night. He just wanted to help her but she didn't let him. Grandmaster Su-Han is not very happy that Cat Noir is missing and without his cataclysm power, Ladybug won't be able to capture akumas.
"What happened?! If he's missing, you better find him! We cannot lose another miraculous like Whiny Chicken Leg Fu did!" Su-Han was beyond furious.
"We had an argument and I blurted out that he needs to stay out of the way!" Ladybug explained.
"There will be serious consequences, if you fail to find him, you're no longer worth being the guardian!" Su-Han scolded her.
"I'll find him! He's just.....probably.....taking a cat nap to cool off" Ladybug said, too insensitive to understand what Cat Noir feels.
"Then what did you two talk about before getting into an argument?" Su-Han asked.
"He wanted to be the secondary guardian since he thought the duty of me being the only one was stressful," Ladybug said.
"Wise words from him. A very loyal cat he was to you. You should've accepted his offer!" Su-Han glared.
Ladybug looks down in shame for her foolishness, "I really am the worst guardian, after all, he has done by helping me this is the thanks he gets. I need to fix it all" Ladybug said, looking ready to cry. She swung her yoyo in the city and headed to the Arc de Triomphe since it was the spot they argued last night. As she got there, she sees something shiny and it was Cat Noir's golden bell.
"Oh, kitty. I'm so sorry" She picks it up.
She swung her yoyo to the next building on the roof and runs to the next one with a long jump. She then stopped when she saw the billboard TV screen of Nadja telling the news that Adrien Agreste is missing.
"No! Not him too!" Ladybug was in even more shock.
Adrien's father must be furious that his son is missing. The news also showed the camera footage of Cat Noir leaving at the Startrain last night.
"Cat Noir has left Paris but where?" Ladybug wondered.
She heads to the Startrain to ask the employees where he went by the listing of the passengers.
"Okay, let's see where he went last night" One employee checked the computer. After a few minutes of search, she found the destination, "He took the train to Cluj-Napoca, Transylvania"
"What? Did he say why he went there?" Ladybug asked.
"He just said he's leaving Paris, for a new life," The employee said.
"Oh, thank you" Ladybug leaves the station, devastated. She doesn't understand why her kitty chose Transylvania, "Su-Han is gonna kill me" She said to herself.

At Transylvania, Cat Noir had minor burns on his face while wearing the hoodie and riding his horse in the forest. He had to get out of the daylight before he's roasted to ashes. He sees dead skeletal burned bodies with vampire fangs.
"I knew it. They do exist" He said and urges his horse to follow the trail that could lead to a vampire castle, just like from the old Dracula movies, "It has to be close" He looks in different directions.
They kept walking into the woods following the trail. The trees have no leaves and the sun was covered by clouds, making the cat sigh in relief to finally move his hoodie off his head.
He spots another vampire's dead skeleton burned but its weapons bow and arrows were untouched. This gave the feline a thought of trying something new than his cataclysm. He picks them up and brought them with him on his journey.
His horse was feeling anxious about this spooky forest but has to give the cat a ride to his journey. It wasn't until the clouds moved away from the sun slowly and Cat Noir's side cheek burned that he got off the horse, needing the steed's shadow to stay away from the sunlight.
"Help me, pal. I know you don't like this but I need to find the vampire castle to...well....live" Cat Noir said and his horse helped him by shielding him and walking to the trail.
In the sky, some crows were flying away from the direction they were going, "When there's crows, there's something spooky in there" Cat Noir said, ready his bow and arrow while his horse protects him from sunlight. They kept walking until they saw a big abandoned castle
"Merci, stallion. Now go, you're free now" He snaps his fingers to release his hypnosis on the horse. The horse ran back in the direction they came from as Cat Noir walks into the castle, opening the huge doors.
Inside was like a Masquerade Ball from the 19th century and there was a mirror with no reflections. He gasped softly that they are really vampires. Maybe they use mirrors to detect a mortal's reflection.
"This place is amazing" He goes up the stairs.
The vampires stared at him like his attire is not from the 19th century. He even has his bow and arrows like he's armed to kill anything in his way.
"So young and very....cat-like" A vampire woman with a Victorian dress puts her arms on him.
"He's one of us. I sense no heartbeat" The other one with red hair nearly put her fangs on his neck.
Cat Noir grabbed their necks and pinned them against the stair walls, causing the music to stop everyone in the call to exclaim the scene, "Do that again I shall drive my arrow in your hearts. I don't do sexual or passionate love" Cat Noir said coldly and released them, heading upstairs to the balcony and the music resumes.
One was playing the violin while balancing on a ball while one was dancing ballet on a table. Cat Noir liked this but it wasn't 21st-century style. He glances at the glass wines of blood on the table. Just what he needs. He removes his hoodie and stuffs it in his backpack and goes to the table for a drink. He took one glass and drank some of it to satisfy his thirst. It was addicting to him but he had to remain calm. He wondered what vampire blood tastes like than the living blood.
"You're new and very.... 21st-century person....I e ever seen. Terrible mortal life?" A vampire woman with a Romanian accent asked.
Cat Noir did not wanna feel love in his dead heart but decided to seduce his first vampire victim, "Yes. And I do not wanna feel love ever again" He said and gripped the woman's waist and waltzed.
"One can never be sure," The vampire woman said.
"I was bitten yesterday. It's a lot to process when I don't have a heartbeat." Cat Noir said and he knows from the movies that vampires are immune to hypnosis. He twirled her and made her lean her back against his chest, bringing her to a private room where he can feed.
"My, you got style" The vampire lady smirked.
He pinned her against the wall and traced his tongue on her neck to find a vein, even if she has no pulse, "Thanks. And I'm so thirsty. Sweet dreams in hell" Cat Noir hissed hungrily and sunk his fangs in her neck.
The vampire lady screamed in great pain as Cat Noir drained her. Vampire blood tasted different than human blood. Both were addicting but yet could not decide whether he belongs to the vampire kind or his former humankind. He didn't stop until every drop of blood is drained from her and waited for her to die. Once she stops moving, he drops her corpse. He had her blood on his lips but he simply licked it off.
"Another cold-hearted killer but I have never seen one so young and very.....feline-like.....with those eyes. And that there was one of my brides, boy" A Transylvanian accent voice from the ceiling hanging upside down was a vampire man.
"Oops, maybe Satan will take care of her now for all eternity. By the way, you must be Dracula, judging by the cape, the crossed arms pose, and that 7th-century portrait of you." Cat Noir crossed his arms and stared at the man walking from the ceiling to the wall and down to the floor.
"Very insightful for a young child that smells like the country of Paris. Ah, the city of love, is it not?" Dracula smirked.
"Hmph, not my home anymore. Too much pain I suffered from as a human but now, I feel nothing as a vampire." Cat Noir said, staring at the coffin.
"It seems you've already embraced being a vampire," Dracula said.
"Yes, and the name's Cat Noir," Cat Noir said.
"Welcome to Transylvania, Mr. Noir. How long have you been a vampire?" Dracula asked and offered him a wine glass of blood.
"For about two days," Cat Noir said and drank his glass of blood.
"Ah, I never expected my bats to sense one that has a suffering life in Paris. Tell me, Mr. Noir, was your mortal life.....terrible?" Dracula asked.
"Yes, I thought I had my chance with my special lady but she turned out to be an all self-absorbed and irresponsible one," Cat Noir said.
"Perhaps you should teach her what pain feels like" Dracula suggested and Cat Noir finished his drink and crushed the glass wine in his hand as it shattered.
"Perhaps I will but I can't do that. I don't wanna feel love or have a bride. Now then, do you have a spare room since I'm gonna have to live here? It's still daylight out there" Cat Noir asked.
"Of course. Make yourself at home" Dracula nodded.
"Oh, and I still eat normal food. Send me cheese, please. Don't ask why" Cat Noir smirked and walked out of the room to go find a spare room.

"He's at where?!" Su-Han yelled and Ladybug flinched from his yelling voice.
"Yes! He's in Transylvania!" Ladybug whimpered.
"Do you know what that means?! It's gonna be harder to find him there!" Su-Han crossed his arms with a glare.
"Don't worry, I'm sure he'll come back. There's no way that place will make him move on" Ladybug said.
"I'm not so sure about that. After an argument like that, it's very unlikely he'll be back. For what you did, you're going to be the one finding him" Su-Han said.
"You can't be serious!" Ladybug exclaims.
"I am serious! The ladybug and the cat miraculous are yin and Yang. Without him, it's unbalanced!" Su-Han argued.
"Okay Okay! I'll go!" Ladybug gave in.
"You got 48 hours to find him and make it up for your actions" Su-Han warned her.
"But what about my family and school? What will happen if I fail this mission?" Ladybug asked.
"Then I guess you'll have to find a new partner!" Su-Han held the cat bell.
"Alright! Looks like I need the horse miraculous to get there" Ladybug said.
"But be sure he'll be home safe" Su-Han then said.
