Dracula as campfire story | Mytoori short story

Once upon a time, in a faraway land called Transylvania, there was a very old castle.

It stood on a high mountain, with dark forests around it.

The castle belonged to a strange and mysterious man.

His name was Count Dracula. The Strange Castle One day, a man named Jonathan Harker had to visit the Count.

Jonathan was a young man who worked as a lawyer in England.

He was going to help Count Dracula buy a house in England.

Jonathan did not know much about the Count, but people in the village warned him to be careful.

"Be careful of Count Dracula!" the villagers said.

"He is not an ordinary man."

They gave Jonathan garlic and a cross, saying it would protect him from evil.

Jonathan did not understand why, but he took the garlic and the cross with him anyway.

When Jonathan arrived at the castle, it was nighttime.

The castle was old and dark, with big, heavy doors.

The Count welcomed him inside.

Count Dracula was tall and thin, with pale skin.

His eyes were red, and his teeth were very sharp.

He spoke very politely, but there was something strange about him that made Jonathan feel nervous.

Dracula’s Secrets At first, everything seemed fine.

Jonathan worked on the papers for the Count.

But as the days passed, Jonathan started to notice strange things about the castle.

There were no mirrors anywhere.

And whenever Jonathan cut himself, the Count would stare at the blood with hungry eyes.

One night, Jonathan saw something truly terrifying.

He looked out of his window and saw Count Dracula climbing down the walls of the castle like a spider!

Jonathan knew then that the Count was no ordinary man.

He was something evil.

Count Dracula was a **vampire**.

Vampires are creatures that live in the dark.

They drink the blood of the living to stay alive.

They are very strong, but they have weaknesses.

Vampires cannot go out during the day because sunlight burns them.

They are also afraid of garlic, crosses, and wooden stakes.

Jonathan realized he was in great danger.

He tried to leave the castle, but the doors were locked.

Count Dracula had him trapped.

Escape and the Plan Jonathan eventually found a way to escape.

He ran through the forests and mountains until he reached a village.

He was tired and afraid, but he was free from the castle.

Jonathan returned to England, but he did not know that Count Dracula was coming too.

The Count wanted to find new victims in England, where no one knew what he really was.

He traveled in a big ship, bringing with him boxes of dirt from his castle.

The ship arrived at the English coast, but there was no one alive on board.

People were very frightened when they found the ship, but they did not know why all the sailors had disappeared.

In England, Count Dracula found a young woman named Lucy.

She was beautiful and kind, but soon she became sick.

Her friend Mina, who was Jonathan’s fiancée, worried about her.

Lucy got weaker and weaker every day.

She would sleep all the time and wake up with strange marks on her neck.

Mina didn’t know what to do.

She asked a doctor named Professor Van Helsing for help.

Van Helsing was very wise and had seen strange things before.

He knew right away that Lucy was not sick from a normal illness.

She had been bitten by a vampire!

Van Helsing’s Fight Van Helsing tried to save Lucy.

He put garlic around her bed to protect her from the vampire, but it was too late.

Lucy had lost too much blood, and she died.

But that was not the end.

Lucy became a vampire too.

She started to roam the night, looking for people to bite.

Van Helsing knew they had to stop Lucy.

He and his friends went to her grave, and there they found her sleeping.

She looked peaceful, but they knew she was no longer the Lucy they loved.

With a heavy heart, Van Helsing drove a wooden stake through her heart.

Lucy’s soul was finally free, and she was at peace.

But the real danger was still out there.

Count Dracula was still alive, and he was getting stronger.

Van Helsing, Jonathan, Mina, and some friends made a plan to stop Dracula before he could hurt anyone else.

The Chase Begins They learned that Dracula needed to sleep in the soil from his homeland, Transylvania, to keep his powers.

He had brought boxes of this soil with him to England.

Van Helsing and his friends went on a hunt to find these boxes and destroy them.

Without his special soil, Dracula would be weaker, and they could defeat him.

The group worked hard, searching for Dracula and his hiding places.

They found many of the boxes and destroyed them, but Dracula was clever.

He escaped from them again and again.

The Count knew they were after him, and he became very angry.

One night, Dracula attacked Mina.

He bit her and drank her blood.

Worse, he made her drink his blood, too.

Now Mina was connected to Dracula.

She could hear his thoughts, and he could control her.

Mina was in terrible danger, but she was also their greatest hope.

With her help, they could track Dracula’s movements and find his hiding place.

The Journey to Transylvania Dracula knew he was in danger, so he fled back to his castle in Transylvania.

Van Helsing and the others followed him.

They traveled for many days, across land and sea, to reach the vampire’s home.

Time was running out.

If Dracula reached his castle, he would be safe again, and they might never stop him.

When they arrived in Transylvania, they faced many challenges.

Dracula’s servants tried to stop them.

Wolves and strange creatures attacked them in the night, but Van Helsing and his friends were brave.

They fought through every danger to reach the castle.

The Final Battle At last, they arrived at Dracula’s castle.

The sun was setting, and they knew they had to act quickly.

Once night came, Dracula would be at his full strength.

They found him in his coffin, where he slept during the day.

With the sun still in the sky, they had one last chance to defeat him.

Jonathan and Van Helsing worked together.

They lifted the wooden stake and drove it through Dracula’s heart.

The Count screamed in pain, but it was too late.

His body turned to dust, and he was finally destroyed.

With Dracula gone, the curse on Mina was broken.

She was free, and so were all the people Dracula had hurt.

The evil of the vampire was no more.

The End... or Is It?

The friends returned to England, knowing they had saved the world from a great evil.

But sometimes, when the night is very dark and the wind howls through the trees, people say you can still hear Dracula’s voice.

Maybe, just maybe, he is still out there, waiting for the perfect moment to return...
