Im working on this story, im an aspiring writer.
The idea came along when I was watching the movie Dracula 2000 and a friend of mine digs vampires, and I like zombies, so we had a discussion as to which was better, so I made a story about circumstances leading up to a fight, and ive been working on rules to even the odds.
I am aware that a movie on similar lines was released, but apparently was awful, so I decided to work on something better. :)
1873, Germany
A German duke and English noblewoman fall in love, although the Duke is actually a vampire, he is kind and loving towards his people and his beloved is the only one who knows his secret, but loves him all the same.
However, Her father, who hates the Duke, finds this out, outraged, he sends two vampire hunters (claiming to be the finest) to Germany in order to assassinate him, the two catch him off guard since he is complacent from living in peace and stab him through the heart, thinking that the noblewoman has also become a vampire, they stab her in the heart, unlike the seasoned vampire she is human and quickly dies.
The distraught duke kills the assassins and breaks a sacred vampire rule, back in the darker ages of the vampire, the venom of their fangs can bring back the dead to serve as menial servants, this was outlawed, however, he believed that he could bring his beloved back from the dead completely should be exposed to enough venom and her recent death, using the venom he milked from his teeth over the centuries, he embalms her corpse in the venom.
Initially, she appears normal and returns to life as normal, but she gradually degrades, becoming increasingly hungrier, then begins to crave meat, then raw meat and begins to attack living animals, the Duke is scared and imprisons her in a cell filled with luxury, over a month she begins to rot and her isolation drives her to insanity, using her decomposed state, she breaks free of the cell by bending and breaking her bones and begins a killing and devouring everyone in her path, the Dukes city is soon overwhelmed with zombies.
Realising his mistake, he calls forth his vampire comrades and they wage war with the zombified, among the chaos, the Duke confront his beloved, and realises she is no longer human and bites her neck, she bites his neck and they embrace, the vampire is poisoned by his own modified venom and she has the only thing giving her life sucked out of her.
The vampires realise that they cant kill the noblewoman by normal means and breaking the embrace would re-awaken her, in respect, the two are placed in a coffin and the coffin covered in molten steel by the vampire kind, sealing the two in a smooth metal shell, and drop it in to the ocean to stop anyone disturbing it.
1996 - New York
A team of researchers find the metal shell in the European ocean. Curious as to what it could contain, they take it back to their labs in New York, on opening it, they find the dried corpses of the Duke and Noblewoman, they separate the corpses and send each for further studies in opposite ends of the city.
The zombie noblewoman is being studied when her corpse is exposed to water, the moisture revitalises part of her exposed brain and she comes to life, devouring a researcher and assimilating the flesh and gradually returning to her former power and begins to rampage in New York.
The vampire duke returns to life as he is no longer poisoned by the venom in the bite and feeds on a blood pack to restore his body, on realising that he is separated and it means his beloved is possibly alive and dangerous, he tries to escape but is caught by a researcher who thinks he is breaking in, although he tries to reason with them, they don t believe him until they overhear events elsewhere in the city and co-operate with him.
Meanwhile, in a cinema, a hypochondriac usher and his girlfriend are making out in the cinema pantry when they hear commotion from outside, on noticing the zombies they are narrowly saved by a Russian man who goes in to hiding with them, he reveals is that he is what is known as a "Soulbreaker", humans who are trained fight and kill immortal beings in order to maintain the power of the human race, but in a twist, reveals that he has absolutely no intention of saving people, he is using the two for his own benefit, should he need them, they will die, should they escape, they will be on their own and wont survive.
A battle ensues between the vampires, zombies and the survivors.
