    Luke Hawthorne lived alone in the heart of Maine, in a three-story Queen Anne style house filled with magical artefacts. His life was quiet and solitary, his only companion a pet duck named Percy.

    The townspeople rarely saw him, except when he came to town for supplies. They didn't know about the magical items in his house or his lineage from Abraham Van Helsing.

    Luke had a good reason for his solitude. He was hiding a terrible secret. He feared that one day, Dracula would find him because of his lineage.

    Unbeknownst to Luke, Dracula had found out his location. The vampire lord, along with his bride Mina and his servant Renfield, began their journey to Maine.

    Despite his self-imposed isolation, Luke had found love in Victoria. Their bond was strong, and they cared deeply for each other.

    One night, Dracula cornered Luke on the town docks. A harsh exchange of words ensued before Dracula pushed Luke into the freezing water.

    Victoria found Luke almost dead from the cold and rushed him to the hospital. Unbeknownst to her, Dracula was not far behind.

    Dracula caused chaos in the hospital, causing the deaths of a nurse and a doctor. Luke could do nothing but watch as the horror unfolded.

    Realizing the danger Victoria was in, Luke broke up with her. The decision pained him deeply, but he knew it was for her safety.

    After his release from the hospital, Luke returned to his magically guarded home. He began to prepare for Dracula's inevitable return.

    Luke, armed with his father's magical items and knowledge, was ready to confront his dreaded enemy. He knew he had to protect Victoria and the townspeople.

    Night fell, and the air grew tense. Luke could sense Dracula's imminent arrival. His hand tightened around the hilt of his father's magical sword.

    Suddenly, an eerie silence fell over the house. Luke felt a chill run down his spine. Dracula had arrived.

    The battle between the last Van Helsing and Dracula was fierce. Spells and curses filled the air as both adversaries gave their all.

    Dracula was formidable, his powers terrifying. But Luke was not deterred. He was fighting for his life, and for Victoria's safety.

    With a final surge of energy, Luke struck Dracula with a powerful spell. The vampire lord screamed as he was consumed by the magic.

    When the smoke cleared, Dracula was gone. Luke was victorious. He let out a breath he hadn't realized he'd been holding.

    Victoria, who had been hiding nearby, rushed to Luke. They embraced, relief and joy mixing with exhaustion. They were safe, for now.
