Thanks to everyone who reviewed! This chapter will be different. This chapter will actually be the ending and Van Helsing will be telling Carl what happened. I don't know if this style is okay, but I'll experiment. Oh and more help on the sequel, from when to when did the cowboy era last? For example, from the 1800s to 1900s, I don't need a specific answer.

Shadowsage Hopesong: You really didn't say much, but you still rock big time!!!

Mimifozxlove: There's nothing special about that book, it's just an old book. It's an ordinary book about I don't know what the hell; and it's just a book Gabriel is reading, I forgot something...no I really didn't...you rock big time!!!

Szhismine: Thanks for your comments! And don't worry; I assure you there will be more Carl—obviously. And for being new and plainly for reviewing, you rock big time!!!

Liz: You always give me the best reviews and you have reviewed every single chapter! What else can I say? You are an awesome gal! As I said before, you're my favorite gal! Can I be your boyfriend!? I love you! You obviously know you rock big time!!!

Fanfiction Fanatic: No, I can't screw time. Time is highly important in my opinion. I just can't say that right now World War II is still going on now can I? But you still rock big time!!!

Artemis: You rock dude, you rock! And no, your idea isn't lame at all. Totally the opposite, I might even consider using it! And for giving me ideas and simply put, reviewing, you rock big time!!!

And now, on with the ahead-of-time story! (Meaning that it's the ending and there's still one chapter left)


Regret

It was over, it was finally over. Van Helsing didn't want it to be over this way; but it was—unfortunately. He didn't want it to be that way, but there was no other way to do it. Cardinal Jinette had lost his mind. And thus realizing that, the cardinal killed himself. Frankenstein approached Gabriel who was standing on the church's rooftop. The cool, night breeze swept through their faces.

"It wasn't your fault you know, the cardinal turned himself mad" Frankie tried his best to help.

"But if I would've just obeyed...if I would've killed you..." the brunette struggled trying his best not to cry.

"You didn't kill me, and that was the right thing to do, the cardinal did the wrong thing" the monster continued.

"But...it could've been different!" Van Helsing cried.

"Of course, if the cardinal could've stopped himself from going mad" Frankie assured with sarcasm.

"I wouldn't loose a lot of sleep over Jinette" Dr. Frankenstein's creation added, again with sarcasm.

"I would..." the sad hunter declared.

The monster hunter was too sad to continue talking. He left the rooftop and walked back to the motel. But it was about a twenty-five minute walk. Looking at the stars in the night sky, the Frankenstein monster jumped from the rooftop to the streets. It didn't hurt him, since he was super strong. He spotted Van Helsing's outline from the distance. He walked towards it not sure if he wanted to keep talking to him. If he would've been sure, he probably would've ran.

"It's my fault again...just like Anna...Velkan...and all those other creatures who were really good people" Gabriel sobbed.

Hearing distant footsteps, Gabriel looked back and saw Frankie far away. He turned his head forward again and ignored him. He continued to walk towards the motel thinking about how Carl would react when he heard of this. The friar would be shocked to hear what Cardinal Jinette had said about him before dying. At that moment, he knew what his biggest regret in life was—becoming a monster slayer. He had brought death to good men and women, grief to many families, suffering to many people; he was far from a holy man. 'Now that there will be a new leader for the Holy Order; I'll probably quit' Gabriel thought.

"Or I might as well kill myself when I get back to Rome..." Gabriel told himself.

He couldn't stop thinking of the different ways of punishing himself for what he did. He would do something for all those good people he killed. Suddenly, a few words came to his mind.

"Some call me a murderer; others say I'm a holy man"

"So which one is it Mr. Van Helsing?"


The first quote belonged to himself, and the second to Anna. He answered by saying he was a bit of both. But if they asked him now he would've said he was far from a holy man, and more of a murderer. He hated himself, he wanted to kill himself but he had to let Carl know of what Cardinal Jinette said. The brunette man in sorrow finally reached the motel and entered the lobby. He locked the door discretely so the Frankenstein monster wouldn't come in. Of course he knew the monster had the strength to break the door; but he wouldn't dare break private property just because it was locked. He knocked on the door that belonged to the room which he, the friar, and the monster were staying in. Thinking of how he was going to explain to Carl, he gasped. The door finally opened and it obviously was Carl. The time had come.

Cliffhanger, yeah! I love cliffhangers! And I know that many questions have risen now that this is the ending but and unclear ending. But don't worry peeps, I promise they will all be answered. But I can't guarantee that all the questions that will rise in the next and final chapter will be answered! One thing I can assure, at the end of the last chapter; you're gonna wanna rip my head off! Luckily I'm just online and safe in my beautiful home! But you still know the drill, if there are no reviews, even though I have a finale and part of a sequel planned in my mind; it will never be actually visible unless you review! So start clicking on submit review!!! And please answer the cowboy question if you think you know!
