Chapter 232
.
Rudy and the rest of the Monster Squad put up a good fight, but there were just too many vampires. The Monster Squad killed a few of them, but Dracula knew this was just an inconvenienc for him. He would have to retrieve them later, but for now they dragged all six of the heroes back to the castle, locked them in the dungeon. They also confiscated their amulets, left them unable to escape back to Antarctica. Dracula, Brynn. and others came to feed on them. After this they were weakened, but still alive. They began to talk, and plan.
.
Rudy: I'm sorry I doubted you.
Mary: I trusted Brynn, guess neither of us is very good at judging character.
Rudy: Why are they still vampires?
Mary: I don't know.
Rudy: They don't drink blood they die, go to the Lake of fire right?
Mary: Which means Dracula can use that to make his minions serve him.
Rudy: Or Dracula's superiors use it to keep him under control.
Mary: Maybe both. How can we use this?
Rudy: I don't know, but it might help that we have this intel. We'll find a way to stop them and escape. For what it's worth Mary, you're a member of the Monster Squad now.
Mary: Wish it was under better circumstances, but glad to be on the team.
.
For three days Dracula and the others periodically came and drank the blood of the heroes. And the mummy, who had been a very cruel pharoh in his ancient Egypt, he tortured them, taught others how to torture them. Mary still said she knew nothing of where Van Helsing might be. Dracula came to see them one day.
.
Mary: I told you, I don't know where Van Helsing's people are.
Dracula: Unfortunately, I believe you. If you knew anything you would have talked by now. Still, you can be useful. Phoebe, you turned my friend, the Frankenstein Monster, against me. Now he fights with my enemy. I would like you to be my guest at a reception tonight. My hope is that my old friend will come for you, and we will be waiting.
Phoebe: And if I refuse?
Dracula: Then I kill you and all your friends right now. If you agree, I will spare them, until after I destroy Frankenstein.
Rudy: It's okay Phoebe, Frankie will kick their ass all over new Transylvania.
Sean: If you touch my sister...
Dracula: You have nothig to threaten me with Sean. You couldn't kill me in the woods. No doubt you wish to try again, but you would do that either way. However, I am willing to agree to not defile Phoebe, again, until after my objective is complete.
Phoebe: That kind of sounds like the best deal I'm going to get. Very well, I agree to be your guest tonight.
