Author's Note: New OC's

Wilbur Werewolf is the oldest pup of Wayne and Wanda. He is 55 years old, but appears to be about 18 in human years. He stands slightly taller than his father, mainly because he had better posture. He wears jeans that had been cut so bad that he turned them into shorts, along with a black "Misfits" tee shirt that is covered by a leather jacked and combat boots. His fur was darker than his parents, with tufts of black hair on his head. His eyes were moon silver with a tint of gold. He is voiced by Ezra Miller. He is an OC of Sweetberry771.

William Werewolf is from the same litter as Wilbur, which only consisted of the two of them. William is younger by ten minutes, and Wilbur always makes fun of him for it. His fur is the same color as Wilbur, other than his hair on his head is silver, while his eyes are black. He wears jeans and a Motörhead tee shirt. William is also the first of the monsters, other than Mavis to adopt human technology, and normally is playing with his smartphone. He is voiced by Pete Davidson.

Chapter 21

Reunion

One week had passed since Ivan had apologized for shooting Dracula, and the entirety of his past was known. All of the events that Dracula had witnessed in Ivan's past made him feel even worse about the lies that some humans had told about monsters, but that wasn't the reason on this night that Dracula felt guilty.

Dracula had arraigned for Wayne to bring his two oldest pups to the hotel. Dracula knew that two of Wayne's pups used the nickname Willy in the past, that being William and Wilbur, although currently only William still did. Dracula had suspected after seeing the image of the mysterious werewolf in Ivan's memory, it was one of these two that was the wolf he had met and befriended.

Dracula's proposition concerned Wanda even more that it did Wayne, but she knew that Dracula did not take unnecessary risks when it came to humans. Wanda relented when he repeatedly insisted on only those two coming to meet Ivan, especially after Dracula had told her what he had witnessed in Ivan's memory.

Neither Wayne nor Wanda could be sure which one of their children might had been the one to meet Ivan as a boy, as both of them had run off about the same time. However, Wilbur was the most curious about humans in the past, with his intrigue rivaling Mavis's. Dracula had even speculated that he may be more like Mavis than any of them suspect, even possibly one day zinging with a human. Wanda seriously doubted it, since he still acted like a little boy, despite him being the same age that she and Wayne were when they zinged. They realized, though, that wouldn't be the case at the present time.

Dracula had arranged for the three to dine together. Upon being seated together, Ivan seemed to focus on Wilbur more than his brother. William looked fairly sure that he had never seen Ivan before, while Wilbur repeatedly tried to place Ivan. As their food arrived, William and Wilbur both devoured their meals, while Ivan slowly enjoyed his. Not much was said during the meal, and William was fairly confident he had never met Ivan before, so when he finished eating, he excused himself.

Dracula caught William before he wleft the restaurant, and asked him, "Have you ever seen him before?"

"No Uncle Drac," William answered, a smile on his face, "but he seems nice enough."

"What about your brother? Do you think he might have?"

"I don't know; maybe." William noticed the two looking at each other. He suspected that there was a reason for Wilbur's curiosity with humans, but wondered why he tried to scare some of them. He bid farewell to his uncle, and headed for the lounge for an after dinner cocktail.

Wilbur excused himself after Ivan had finished eating, claiming he needed to use the restroom. In reality, he wanted to see his uncle. Dracula was sitting at a table in the corner waiting for them to finish. Wilbur sat at Dracuila's table, and Dracula asked," Have you met him before?"

"I … don't … know," Wilbur said hesitantly. He kept trying to place Ivan, but struggled to as it had been almost 15 years since he had seen Ivan.

"What do you mean, Wilbur?" Dracula asked to the pup.

Even though Wilbur was going through a rebellious phase towards his parents, he knew better than to disrespect his Uncle Drac, especially in his hotel. He was now 55 years old, even though he looked just slightly younger than Ivan in human years. Wayne had long since told Dracula to discipline his children if he felt the need to, and Dracula went so far as to throw William in an iron maiden for a short amount of time once when he got too rough with one of the gremlins.

He answered his uncle with respect. "I'd met a human before, but he was a lot younger."

"Could it have possibly been him?" Dracula asked pointing towards Ivan, who was talking with Jonathan.

Wilbur shrugged. "You always said that all humans looked the same," he answered while chuckling at his uncle, even though he knew this probably wasn't the smartest thing to do. Wilbur couldn't be completely sure of it, but he though that Ivan was indeed the boy he met many years ago.

Dracula laughed at how wrong he had been about humans. He now knew that there were many good humans, like Jonathan and Ivan, once they were able to show him the truth about monsters; however, this Gustav Van Helsing that Ivan had told them about sounded like a real monster. Jonathan had joked when Ivan told the vampires about him that they were wrong to call the vampires the monsters, as Gustav sounded much worse than Dracula could ever have been.

"I was wrong about them," Dracula told Wilbur, much like the vampire told his friends after Quasimodo revealed that Jonathan was actually a human. "I know I was wrong about Johnny, and most of his family, from what Mavis has told me. I was wrong about all of those we met at the 'Monster Festival' last year. And now it appears that Ivan isn't what I thought he was when I first met him."

"I know it," Wilbur said to his uncle. "I can't sure, but I think he is who I met when ran away."

"Then why don't you tell him that."

Tears began to fill the eyes of Wilbur. He had never forgotten that night when a human family had taken him in, treated him like a member of their family, and quite possibly, saved his life. He still couldn't be sure about his memory, but the events that Dracula had told him that he saw in the memory of the human were also in Wilbur's past.

Dracula accompanied Wilbur to talk to Ivan. The more that he thought about it, the more certain that Wilbur was about him. Ivan had been the boy he met when he was younger, and his parents had sacrificed their lives to provide him an opportunity to escape. Wilbur was fighting back tears as they approached Ivan. "I'm so sorry," Wilbur said softly to Ivan.

"Thank you," was all that Ivan could say, who by now had joined Wilbur in tears. Ivan couldn't believe that even after all the horrible things he had done and with all of the monsters that he had slain, that a monster could have ever forgiven him. Mavis hadn't just saved his life, but rather she quite possibly saved his soul. She had found something that he had hidden so deep inside himself that had shown his true self.

Ivan and Wilbur stayed together in the lobby talking about what they both remember about that night. Ivan's thoughts that night were correct, as Wilbur was had been in a fight about humans with his parents. He ran off from his den, only to stumble upon some of Van Helsing's men who fired several shots at him unsuccessfully before he was able to get away. They never did suspend their pursuit, and tracked him to Ivan's home.

Wilbur was foraging for food through their trash when Ivan saw him. Neither of them expected Ivan's father to be so kind to Wilbur, and even Dracula was shocked when he saw the story in his memory.

Jonathan was walking around the hotel early in the morning. The sun had risen, and most of the monsters had long since gone to bed. However, Jonathan heard a rhythmic beeping coming from one of the rooms. He wasn't sure, but could have sworn it was coming from the room that Ivan was occupying.

Jonathan went to find Dracula so he could tell him about what he had heard. They both went to the outside of the room, and both still heard the beeping. They knew that they needed to investigate it further, but it would be impolite to enter Ivan's room without his permission.

Jonathan went down to the lobby, and found Ivan and Wilbur still catching up. They had been talking for several hours, and they looked as if they could go on all day. Jonathan went up to them, and cleared his throat. "Uh, Ivan?"

Ivan looked away from his friend, and towards Jonathan. "Oh, hey Johnny. What's up?"

"Do you have a cell or something in your room that should be beeping right now?"

"I got my phone with me," Ivan stated trying to think of what in his room could be beeping. "I can't think of what would be beep-" but then he remembered what it was. "Oh shit!" Ivan yelled, worried for all of his new friends.

"What is it?"

Ivan jumped out of his seat before Jonathan even finished asking him about it. He sprinted back towards his room, with Jonathan falling several yards behind. Ivan thought repeatedly while running that they can't be allowed to find this place.

Ivan entered the corridor that contained his room to find Dracula standing outside his door. "I'm so sorry," Ivan apologized for something, but Dracula was unsure of for what. "I've led them here. I didn't mean to, but I did."

Jonathan had caught up to them and asked, "Who's coming?"

Ivan entered his room, and searched in his old uniform. Inside one of the pockets was a small device that resembled a pager. It had no display other than a red light that was blinking. "What is that?" Dracula asked to Ivan.

Jonathan recognized what it was; that being a GPS locator device. When he told Dracula what it was, the look on his face matched Ivan's. "How do we throw them off the trail?" Jonathan asked to both of them. Neither of them were sure what they should do.

All three of them went down to the lobby to ask for ideas from the two werewolves and Mavis also. It took him a minute, but William thought of a plan. "What if we get a corpse, and dress him in Ivan's uniform?"

"That won't work," Ivan said as he thought about the plan. They knew exactly who should be in each uniform. And we'd have to leave it at least 50 miles away from the hotel. A dead hunter in this area would surely result in an investigation, and search for whomever killed him. The only advantage they had, is that the Van Helsings didn't have DNA samples of all of their hunters yet. "There is a way, but it's … tricky," Ivan added as he thought more about the plan.

"What would we need to do?" Dracula asked to Ivan, as he was willing to help his friend anyway that would be required.

"We would need to find a corpse; that part of the plan would work," Ivan told all of his new friends. "Then we would need to dress him and take him a ways away from here to avoid a search of this area." Ivan looked right at Dracula, asking him, "Can you carry a dead body for about 60 miles?"
"Of course," Dracula answered worried about what Ivan might be thinking.

"Good. Once you drop him, you'll have to bloody him up."

"How much?"

Ivan thought about this for a moment, before saying, "Enough to make it look mortal. But the key is that you must scratch and claw his face so much that he is unidentifiable. Also, smash out as many of his teeth as you can."

"Why his teeth?" Dracula asked.

"They have dental records on most of us. Without teeth, dental records are useless."

Wilbur asked his new friend, "Should I go too?"

"No, Wilbur. There can't be any evidence on the ground, which is why it needs to be Drac, and maybe Mavis; only things that can fly." Ivan frowned when he said this. They weren't 'things', but rather his new friends. "Sorry."

"It's okay," Mavis said smiling at Ivan, as she placed her right hand on his shoulder. "I know what you meant, and so does my dad." Dracula nodded in confirmation, which made Ivan smile slightly.

"Thanks, Mavis. One other thing; he needs to be close to my size."

Dracula looked at Ivan closely, studying the size of him. He focused on height and weight. At sunset, several of the monsters went out to find a corpse that would work. It took Mavis a few hours, but she found one, only about half an inch taller than Ivan, with a similar body shape.

"That's just about perfect," Ivan said as Mavis brought it back, and they proceeded to quickly dress him in Ivan's former uniform.

Shortly after midnight, Mavis and Dracula left the hotel as bats, with Dracula clutching the corpse in his talons. It had taken them only about an hour to get to the outskirts of a village, where they dropped their rouse, and proceeded to savage the the corpse. After about 20 minutes of clawing and biting it, they were unable to identify him at all. Mavis sent a picture through her phone to Jonathan for Ivan to inspect. Ivan studied it for about a minute, before asking them if they did knock all of his teeth out.

"Yep," Mavis texted back, "they're all gone."

Ivan had Jonathan reply to them, "Good. Get outta there."

The two left the corpse bloodied and broken. They flew home, with it taking them only about 45 minutes to return.

"You think that will work?" Mavis asked Ivan when they returned to the hotel.

Ivan shrugged. "Hopefully a bear or wolf gets him too."

"Hey!" Wayne protested. "We don't do that anymore."

"I didn't mean a werewolf, just a regular one."

"Oh, sorry," Wayne apologized, as Wanda could only place her right hand to her forehead as she shook her head. She had known what Ivan meant, and didn't even reply.

The next morning the corpse was found by the authorities in eastern Hungary, where they had left it. As they had planned, the death was ruled being from natural causes, with an autopsy not being performed due to the body being attacked by an animal. The corpse had a badge on it, that identified the man as Ivan Ludiwig, which was the only identification that was available, so that was who they coroner assumed the deceased was. The coroner also contacted the emergency contact listed on it.

As the contact was given the information, they simply assumed that the details given to them were correct. They didn't wish any further investigation, and arraigned with a local mortician to cremate the remains, and dispose of the ashes.

Ivan checked the local newspapers from where they left the body the following days for crime reports and also obituaries. The third day after Mavis and Dracula helped him to fake his own death, he read an obituary that simply said, 'Ivan Ludiwig, 24, died Wednesday of natural causes outside Mako. No funeral, no flowers.'

Upon finishing the obituary, Ivan let out a relieved sigh. The Van Helsings would cease looking him, and he would be free to return to his old life. Their plan had worked perfectly.

Ivan went to Dracula's office, and knocked on the door. "Come in," the ancient vampire said. Upon seeing Ivan, Dracula asked, "Good news?"

Ivan smiled widely, "It worked. I can't thank you and Mavis enough. I'm free of them!"

"You're welcome, my friend."

Ivan couldn't believe it; monsters had not only saved his soul from intense hatred, but they had freed him from service to the Van Helsings. It went further than that as they were also his friends, and he would be indebted to them for the rest of his life.
