Jonathan Harker stumbled through the dense forest, his legs wobbly and his eyes glazed over from the long journey. He could barely remember how he got here, or how many nights he had been wandering in the dark. But he knew one thing for sure - he was being hunted.

The memory of Dracula's icy grip on his neck was still fresh in his mind. He had been sent to Transylvania to finalize a real estate deal with the mysterious Count, but soon realized that he was in grave danger. Dracula was not just a man - he was a monster, with a thirst for blood that could never be quenched.

As Harker trudged on, he could hear the sound of hooves pounding on the ground behind him. He turned around to see a pack of wolves, their eyes glowing in the dark. He knew they were Dracula's minions, sent to capture him and bring him back to the castle.

Harker picked up his pace, but he was too weak to outrun the wolves. They closed in on him, snarling and baring their teeth. Just when he thought he was done for, a shadow appeared in front of him.

It was Dracula himself, riding on a black stallion. His face was pale and gaunt, his eyes bloodshot and hungry. Harker felt a chill run down his spine as the Count reached out to grab him.

But just as Dracula's hand was about to touch him, a bolt of lightning struck the ground, illuminating the area around them. Harker saw his chance and lunged forward, pushing Dracula off his horse.

The Count tumbled to the ground, his body writhing in pain. Harker scrambled to his feet and ran as fast as he could, not looking back.

For days, Harker wandered the countryside, hiding from Dracula's minions and trying to find a way out of Transylvania. He was weak and hungry, but he refused to give up.

Finally, he stumbled upon a small village, where he was taken in by a kind family. They gave him food and shelter, and listened to his story in horror.

But Harker knew that his nightmare was not over. He could still feel Dracula's presence lurking in the shadows, waiting to pounce.

One night, Harker woke up to find the Count standing over him, his eyes glowing in the dark. He had come to claim his prey.

Harker fought with all his might, but he was no match for Dracula's strength. The Count sank his fangs into Harker's neck, and he felt his life force draining away.

As he slipped into darkness, Harker knew that he would become one of Dracula's undead minions, cursed to roam the earth for eternity, forever thirsting for blood.
