Betrayal

Carl sobbed on the floor covered with his own tears. He heard Cardinal Jinette and Frankenstein struggle, he heard them scream, but what really caught his attention was the sound of glass breaking and far away screams. The friar's jaw dropped and he went inside the room to see why it was suddenly quiet. Inside the dark room, there was glass everywhere and the window was broken. And the metal stake was on the floor. The cardinal and the monster were nowhere to be seen. He looked down onto the streets through the broken window but only saw footprints on the snow. Big and small footprints. It seemed that the cardinal chased the monster after they fell. And they were only on the second floor so it wasn't high enough for Cardinal Jinette to die. Shocked, the friar continued to sob and prayed for both of their safeties. Meanwhile, in the cave, Van Helsing fought Kain Grotacious ferociously. Kain was in his werewolf form and Van Helsing shot him on the chest with the revolvers. The werewolf fell to the ground and got up shortly afterwards. The bullets were again popping out of his body as the skin healed.

"It seems that you really can't die" Gabriel commented.

Changing back into his human form, Kain spoke in response to Gabriel's comment.

"I told you, but you didn't want to believe me," the naked Kain said, "and now you will pay the price—by dying. But I can redeem you only one way."

"How? I bet it's something I'll refuse" the monster hunter guessed.

"By allowing me to bite you and joining my clan" Grotacious offered.

"No thanks. Is this how you formed your clan?" Van Helsing questioned arching an eyebrow.

"Yes," Kain replied, "the villagers would do anything in order not to be killed by werewolves—even join them."

Kain Grotacious laughed grimly. The laugh bothered Van Helsing, and it would stay in his mind forever—unless he lost his memory again. After the werewolf leader stopped his psychotic way of laughing, Van Helsing spoke again.

"So only you are the evil werewolf in the whole clan?" the brunette hunter interrogated.

"If you consider that to be evil, then yes, I guess so" Kain mocked.

As he heard that, Gabriel knew instantly that only Kain was the one he had to kill. The rest of the clan was good, and they only allowed themselves to be changed in order to survive. So he knew what he had to do, he had to cure all the clan except for Kain. He would find out what was the only way to kill him and he would do whatever he had to do in order to kill him.

"Enough talking, I'm starving. I need some dead meat" Kain kept mocking, while licking his lips.

Grotacious changed into his werewolf form again and leaped at Van Helsing. Stretching out his claw while Van Helsing took out his tojo blades, a bloody fight began. Just when Kain's claw was in front of Van Helsing's face, the hunter cut his hand off. Again changing into his human form, the naked Kain laid on the rocky cave ground holding his wrist where his hand used to be. Blood never ceased to come out of the handless arm. Kain cried in agony but soon the hand that had been cut off disintegrated. And another hand formed attached to the once handless arm. Standing up with an evil grin on his face, Kain looked at Van Helsing.

"That's more like it. See Gabriel? There is nothing you can cut off my body that won't regenerate from the ashes!" he explained.

He changed into a werewolf again and the fight continued. Still using his tojo blades, Van Helsing ducked from what would've been a mortal wound on the face and cut off the werewolf's legs. The legless werewolf fell on the ground howling and bleeding from where his legs once used to be. They continued to bleed until they regenerated and he got up. The angry werewolf Kain began an array of endless slashing combos at the monster hunter. They were too fast for Van Helsing to avoid, and when Kain finally stopped; the brunette hunter was bleeding from all over his face and chest. His hat wasn't on his head anymore, and his clothes were stained by blood. He spat out blood from his mouth and groaned.

Meanwhile, outside the cave, an exhausted Cardinal Jinette jogged and stopped before the cave. He heard groaning and a werewolf howling in victory. He knew it was Van Helsing. Right now, he could careless what happened to Van Helsing. After all, that man had refused to obey orders twice, and had even lied in the holy church of Vatican City. Cardinal Jinette gasped for air holding his knees tightly with his hands. When he had fallen out the window during the struggle with the Frankenstein monster, he dropped the stake and the monster saved his life. The monster fell on the snowy streets with his back facing the floor. While Jinette fell on the monster's chest which saved him from injury. But he soon got up and chased the monster. No matter if the monster had saved him, he still needed to be destroyed so he would never be used by evil again. But the cardinal soon gave up when he got tired and remembered he was weaponless.

The cardinal was distracted from his gasping when he heard rocks smashing inside the cave. Van Helsing was probably getting a serious beating by one of the werewolves. Inside the cave, Van Helsing lay on the ground weakly. Face facing the ground, the werewolf Kain stepped on his back with one leg. Howling again, he slashed Helsing's back; cutting flesh everywhere. But then he heard big footsteps getting closer and closer. Outside the cave, Cardinal Jinette dropped his jaw as Frankie walked pass him. Jinette was angry at himself for being a normal human without training and not being able to kill the monster. The only man alive who could kill the monster was Van Helsing and he had even befriended the monster. The cardinal felt his blood rising as he got angrier at himself. He saw Dr. Frankenstein's creation step inside the cave.

Back inside the cave, Kain looked behind him and saw a huge figure. The bloody and weak Van Helsing barely recognized the figure and smiled a bit. He knew Frankie was there to save his ass. Frankenstein fought the werewolf. Kain bit Frankenstein's arm but couldn't stick his fangs into the flesh. It was too rough and full of stitches so it was impossible to stick his fangs into Frankie's skin. Frankie smiled at the werewolf's failed attempt to bite him and swung his arm in circles over his head. Kain was still biting his arm so he went around in circles until his teeth couldn't remain on the monster's arm due to the swinging. He let go and flew out of the cave.

Cardinal Jinette saw the werewolf change back into his human form and approached him. The weak man laid on the ground exhausted.

"You can change at will!" the cardinal cried.

"No really?" Grotacious said sarcastically.

Jinette stretched his arm out to help Kain get up.

"Why are you helping me? You are supposed to be frightened" Kain asked confused.

"Well...you see...I want to be a werewolf" Cardinal Jinette admitted.

"Gladly!" Kain cried excitedly.

Half an hour later, Van Helsing had shot every single member of the clan with the darts. Now they were cured and they all thanked Van Helsing. The clan of ex-werewolves decided to stay in the cave for the night and go back to their countries the next day now that their curse was gone. When Gabriel and Frankie left the cave together, it was almost dawn and they saw the only member of the clan who was still a werewolf. The one who had left when Kain attempted to kill him. He was sleeping, naked on the ground. He woke up and looked at Van Helsing.

"Oh no! It's you again! Please don't hurt me!" the frightened man begged.

"Relax, I'm here to help" Gabriel assured.

He shot a dart on the man's left shoulder and the man felt his werewolf curse go away. Tears of joy going down his cheeks, the man stood up and hugged Van Helsing.

"Thank you sir! Now I can go back to my old life!" he thanked.

"Don't even mention it" Van Helsing welcomed.

"One question young man" Frankenstein said.

"Yes?" the man asked.

"What is the only way to kill Kain Grotacious?" the monster questioned.

"A vampire bite" the man answered.

Shocked at this, Gabriel and Frankie returned to the motel. When Carl opened the door, he still had tears that were now starting to dry.

"Frank! You're alive!" the small friar cheered.

He hugged Frankie and then put a serious face on.

"I've got something to tell you Van Helsing" Carl admitted.

"Me too" Van Helsing also admitted.

Cliffhanger!!! Well, not really. You all know that Van Helsing has to tell Carl all about the werewolf clan and Carl has to tell Van Helsing about the Cardinal Jinette and Frankenstein fight. So it's not really a cliffhanger. The only cliffhanger-like part is what is going to happen when Jinette becomes a werewolf. Well, to see what happens; you gotta review!!! Now I'm off to burn some music!
