Chapter 3:
The coming of a Transylvanian winter was always cold, with ice and fog heralding its approach. In the misty gloom and faded sunlight, a loan figure stood, bound to a sacrificial post. The young man was none other then Dennis Lee, the last of the great Lee family, other then his beloved younger sister, Juniper. He tested the strength of the ropes, as he waited patiently. Suddenly, he heard a rustle in the woods. He couldn't see it, but he knew it could only be the creature he was waiting for. He kept his cool, remarkable when he was about to come face to furry face with one of the most dangerous predators on Earth. "Come on, fuzz ball. Vlad unleased you for a reason." He challenged.
Then, without further warning, the Werewulf struck! It was a large, white furred creature with large teeth and fangs and glowing green eyes. It leaped towards Dennis, with every intent of tearing him limb from limb. However, with remarkable ease, Dennis ripped loose his bindings and vaulted upwards to the top of the post, the Werewulf missing him by mere seconds. Dennis then grabbed the vine above him, even as one of his men pulled the lever, pulling him upwards. But it suddenly stopped; leaving Dennis just itches from death. "It's stuck! The stupid lever's stuck!" yelled one of the men, an individual named Coop (Megas XLR) as he tried to desperately pull the lever. Several other men rushed forward to help him.
Juniper Lee, not wanting her brother to come to harm, drew her sword and stepped froward.
"No, Juniper, it'll kill you!" warned a man named Roy Mustang (FullMetal Alchemist). "That's my brother out there!" she exclaimed and ran towards the Werewulf. She charged out of the bushes, brandishing her sword. Both the beast's eyes and that of her brother's were intently on her. "June! No!" Dennis shouted.
Juniper was not afraid to die; she had already watched Vlad and his minions kill off most of her family, and she wasn't about to let brother become one of them.
"Cut the rope! Cut it now!" Dennis ordered. And then a moose named Lumpas (Camp Lazlo) did just that, swinging his axe against a knot of rope and springing the trap. The Werewulf landed in front of June – and fell into the pit dug especially for it. And a huge iron cage seemed to rise out of the ground like magic. She jumped backwards and landed perfectly, her eyes watching the cage, with the creature struggling inside a large bag. Still hanging on the vine, Dennis pulled out his silver revolver, ready to shoot. At this close range, there was no way that he could miss!
Unfortunately, the cage slammed into him, causing him to drop his gun. Almost immediately, the creature began to thrash inside the cage, causing one of the ropes to snap. The men on the ground began firing their guns at it, but without silver bullets, they were only making it insanely angry.
"My gun! Find my gun!" Dennis shouted. Juniper did just that. "Find Dennis's gun! It has the silver bullets!" she ordered. Then the final rope snapped and the caged crashed to the ground. A second later, the Werewulf came out, snarling and growling.
"Oh crud. It's loose!" shouted Coop.
"Everyone, run!" Juniper commanded.
"Cheese it!" added a robot named Bender (Futurama).
And that's what everyone did. They all ran in random directions, knowing that at least most of them would escape with they're lives.
Fortunately, the Werewulf was interested with only one target. Unfortunately, that target happed to be Juniper Lee. She ran quickly through the woods, but the monster was right behind her. Then she made a wrong turn and stopped at the edge of a cliff – the edge of the Transylvanian Plateau. She heard the Werewulf behind her, charging at her at full speed. June prayed silently and awaited her fate.
But suddenly, something pushed her out of the way. Or rather it was someone. It was Dennis! He then pointed his gun at the beast and fired. Unfortunately, the creature slammed into him and both combatants went tumbling into the river below.
"Dennis!"
Juniper rushed over to the edge of the cliff, and looked down for any sign that her brother was alright. She didn't find any.
Her whole body went numb. She couldn't believe it. Her brother, gone! She was now the last of the Lee family, the last to carry on their sacred mission.
Tears came to her eyes as she whispered:
"God. Help us."
Poor June! Anyway, please read and review!
