~Incredible New Story Idea!!!~

I looked up at the full moon, contemplating my outlandish dreams and inevitable destiny.
I sighed. It was impossible for me to escape my fate.
I ran a hand through my slicked-back blond hair, accidentally pushing the strap of my eye patch back away from my eye. Or, rather, the empty socket where my eye once was.
I sighed again, reminiscing the excruciating pain I had been put through when I was twelve.
It was night. A crescent moon shone down upon me. Little did I know, I was seeing the moonlight fully for the last time.
A dark figure jumped out of the bushes, a gleaming blade in its hand.
I couldn't scream.
He knocked me down, the blade slicing into my cheek, leaving a trail of open flesh from my nose to my jawline.
I saw his hand transform into a claw, and I suddenly knew who he was.
"Layne!" I shouted. "Don't--"
He laughed. "Don't what, little prince?" he growled.
I saw, horribly, his hand reaching for my right eye.
"No! No, Layne, please--"
My pleas were cut off by a dreadful scream; then, I realized, I was the one screaming.
I had closed my eyes, and the most horrible pain imaginable was in my right eye. It was like being stabbed a thousand times.
A sick sound came from that part of my face, almost similar to a popping noise, as he ripped my eye, along with the lid, off of my face.
I howled with pain as blood spilled into my mouth; I would have laughed--my stomach rumbled with hunger at the taste of it.
Layne's fangs gleamed in the pale moonlight, his eyes glowing red. "That is for MY destiny. The destiny you stole from me by being born, little prince."
I whimpered, my remaining eye still closed, as lane walked away, licking the spattered blood off his lips and chin.
"Remember that, little Prince Dracula." He laughed like a madman as he left me, writhing in pain.
I pulled the patch back over the empty socket.
My name is Alex Tepes. I am the grandson of Vlad Tepes, otherwise known as Vlad the Impaler and Dracula. I am the prince of the Dracula Clan, the most powerful vampire clan in the world.
And this is my destiny.
