The great werewolf padded quietly up the stone staircase, cobwebs brushing against his pearly fur. He carefully cradled the girls limp body in his arms, taking each step gently so as not to jog her. Reaching a long corridor, he pushed into the first door on his right. The rusty hinges squealed their protest, as Casper moved inside. The room was dark and dusty, a single barred window allowing the mystic light of the moon to shine through. In the corner below the window, was a large pile of straw. Casper gently laid Libby upon it, bundling the coarse straw behind her head to support her. He watched the soft rise and fall of her chest as she slept and the slight flutter of her long eyelashes. Casper watched her for some time, smiling down at his new friend. After some time, he climbed gracefully to his feet, and padded silently from the room. Locking the door, he sighed and curled up on the cold floor outside it. Tonight Casper would stand guard; he finally had something worth fighting for.

Dracula stared blankly out of one of the great windows, hands clasped behind his back, and face set with a frown of cold thought. If the girl survived the change tonight, Van Helsing stood no chance. Dracula had ordered that Casper put Libby with the runts. They were a group of children, ten altogether, held in the cells on the top floor. They had all been injected with the formula, and although all had survived, they had lost their sanity with the change. They remained locked away from Dracula's sight, the only one who looked after them being Casper. Dracula's brides thought Casper was too soft, and constantly tried to provoke him into a rage. They failed every time. If the girl survived, Dracula would have the most powerful weapons in all of Romania. Dracula prayed to the devil, that she would live.

Van Helsing, hunter of all things evil, paced his room. He had been sent to destroy Dracula, but something had been added into the mission. Dracula had his werewolf servant steal a young girl from the future. The Order had given him strict rule when he left. Kill the girl and werewolf first; with them gone he would have a clear shot at Dracula. There was only one question, how? For the first time in a long while, Van Helsing was panicking.

I woke slowly, feeling lightheaded and sick. My bones were throbbing and twitched uncontrollably. I gave a small groan as I crawled to my hands and knees, a heavy rolling in my stomach. Breath began to come short-heart pumping-blood pulsing-joints buckling-lungs heaving. My vision fogged, and I couldn't see or think clearly. Bones began to click and elongate, as searing white hot agony rushed through me. Ripples ran through me and my body began to convulse as I fell sideways to the floor. My face began to grow-jaw stretching-fangs growing-fur sprouting and ears becoming large and bushy. The dress I wore ripped straight down the middle, as I grew, claws flashing at the ends of my fingers. I screamed as more pulsing shot through me, then the pain subsided and I was left panting on the floor.

As silence fell over Libby's cell, Casper pushed the door wide. A bundle of fur lay curled in the ground. He stepped over to her, and brushed a paw over her back. A soft whine sounded from her mouth, and she buried her face deeper into her arms. Casper stared down at the frightened creature in front of him. The fur that covered her body was the light creamy caramel blonde colour that her hair had been. He gently turned and lifted her until she was propped on her knees, head hung sadly towards the floor. Placing a paw under her muzzle, he lifted her face to look at him. Tears streamed from behind those great blue eyes, and she let out another whine. Casper crouched before her and drew her to him in a cuddle. "Oh Libby, what have I let him do to you?"
