Chapter 25: Van Helsing's Plans and After The Ball
Van Helsing stood dumbfounded at the scene before him. The women he saw in the woods cursing Dracula, was protecting him!
"What are you doing? He's evil!" Van Helsing called out to him, but they couldn't hear. They were completely lost in each other's embrace. Dracula soon materialized them away, after slapping a vampire in the face and silencing him. Van Helsing slipped out the door and into the cold with Velcan and headed back to where Carl and the others were waiting. At my approach their eyes lit up with hope that he succeeded. But they soon frowned, and their faces shrunk.
"The woman has returned to him, and there was nothing I could do." He took a deep breath. "We must hurry and find the door to his fortress. And an antidote for werewolf venom." Carl nodded.
"I'm on it."
"Wait, wouldn't Dracula have an antidote?" Velcan input, everyone stared at him in shock. Velcan was usually silent during their discussions.
"I mean, look, he's been using werewolves as slaves for centuries. He would need an antidote if one got out of hand!" Boris chuckled warmly.
"Very good Velcan, that's brilliant. What happened to the girl Van Helsing?"
"She protected the beast and they disappeared."
"We should hurry, the sooner we destroy the beast the better. And if she is with him, then she'll die as well."
Jessica stood silently with her husband.
"See, I told you Caitlyn loved him." He laughed.
"You were right, as always." He laughed.
"Do you think we'll see her again?" Jessica asked him sadly, as he walked her to the door.
"I am not sure, perhaps one more time before we head home." Jessica smiled at that.
"I will miss her again, I was going to suggest to her that she should come home with us, but she's probably happier here. Perhaps she's very close to finding the answer to her nightmares." Jessica sighed.
"I'm sure she'll be fine, she isn't a child anymore remember."
"I am not sure if she ever was…" Jessica noted to herself as they headed to the inn.
Gina's mouth was open in shock. She had to take a moment to let everything that had just happened sink in. Did Caitlyn just leave with that old guy? Will I see her again? Where did the man I was dancing with go? Perhaps he was with the Van Helsing character. She had heard the tales of Van Helsing, and of Count Dracula. How could Caitlyn love a man that was so evil? Gina began to leave too, seeing that Jessica had left. Perhaps Caitlyn would return to the inn…
A/N: It's been decided, next chapter will have a leamon scene. Heres how it will go. If you don't want to read it, I will write the first part of the chapter and seperate the scene with a divide of X's or something. Thanks for reading and reviewing!
