Cameron couldn't help but feel fear as he grew dizzy from being
slammed against the work board. He had a feeling that he would have a
concussion, but he knew that wouldn't matter if Dr. Dragulia killed him.
He saw Dr. Dragulia's eyes turn cold like ice, and he pulled out a scalpel.
Cameron saw the sharp doctor's tool and knew that he was in for a slow
painful death. 'This could also be quick if Dr. Dragulia uses his medical
knowledge.
Dr. Dragulia grinned evilly down at Cameron and he brought the scapel down against Cameron's neck. But, he did not press the blade down into Cameron's skin. He slide the blade down to cause a prickling sensation for Cameron, but then he stuck the blade into Cameron's chest. Cameron screamed out in pain and struggled against Dr. Dragulia, who only dug the scalpel deeper into Cameron's chest.
Dr. Dragulia laughed in spite of Cameron's pain, but he was too focused on laughing at Cameron to see Gabriel leap over the security board and tackle him. Gabriel and Dr. Dragulia fell to the floor, and Cameron sat up off of the security board. He grabbed the handle of the scalpel, but had second thoughts about pulling it out of his chest in case there was a lot of bleeding. He stood up and staggered horribly, and Gabriel saw Cameron look desperately close to passing out. "Run, Carl!" Gabriel called out, and Cameron did his best to run from the room. Soon, he was out of range for Gabriel's sight.
Dr. Dragulia grabbed Gabriel's wrists and began to push him away from his shoulders. He got Gabriel far enough away to lift his knee up and shove Gabriel several feet away. Dr. Dragulia rose to his feet and found Gabriel rose as well. He grinned again and said with his Romanian accent, "Oh, Gabriel, look. Here we stand once again you versus me. God's servant against the Devil's accomplice. This makes the third showdown we've had."
Gabriel nodded and said, "It won't be any different than the other two."
Dr. Dragulia laughed. "That is what you want to believe, Gabriel." Then, he ran from the room.
Gabriel followed Dr. Dragulia up the stairs that led to the psychiatric ward, and he couldn't help but grin since he knew that Dr. Dragulia was mortal for this showdown. Dr. Dragulia ran into the plexiglass interview room where Gabriel was first placed in. Gabriel followed and ignored all the angry feelings that room brought; he had more serious anger with the memories Dr. Dragulia brought to his mind. Dr. Dragulia stood on one side of the plexiglass table, and Gabriel stood at the other.
Dr. Dragulia's blue eyes stared deep into Gabriel's soul. "I'll let you in on a little secret, Gabriel. You are certainly wondering why you are back here, and now you are beginning to realize I'm not all I had appeared." He paused and waited for Gabriel to nod, and he did nod. "You are correct. I'm much more than I appear, and I have been given a choice. I can be a vampire again, Gabriel. All I have to do is kill you and drink your blood." Dr. Dragulia grinned a sadistic grin.
Gabriel lost his confidence for a second because Dr. Dragulia was so sure of himself. His grin showed that Dr. Dragulia was in no mood to fail, and that worried Gabriel the most. But, he gathered his courage and replied, "That won't happen."
Dr. Dragulia laughed. "We'll see about that."
Dr. Dragulia leapt forward and pulled a knife out of his pocket. Gabriel dodged Dr. Dragulia's attack and backed away to where Dr. Dragulia had once stood. He and Dr. Dragulia had changed spots by the table. Dr. Dragulia laughed again and said, "Gabriel, there is little reason for you to avoid me. You are destined to die, so I can reclaim my life."
Gabriel clenched his teeth. "Not going to happen," he growled.
Dr. Dragulia laughed and told him, "You never learn, Gabriel."
Dr. Dragulia leapt forward and again slashing with the knife. Gabriel leaned back and grabbed Dr. Dragulia's wrist to keep from being stabbed. Dr. Dragulia hissed under his breath at Gabriel's strength. "Your strength won't matter much longer," he told Gabriel. Gabriel raised his eyebrows and smiled mockingly at Dr. Dragulia.
Dr. Dragulia raised his knee and kicked Gabriel in the stomach, and Gabriel doubled over. Dr. Dragulia held the knife in both hands and raised it over Gabriel's back. A crazed look glowed in Dr. Dragulia's eyes as he brought down the knife. "Goodbye, Gabriel," he said.
Gabriel threw himself on the ground and rolled out of the way of Dr. Dragulia's knife. Then, he hopped back upon his feet and smiled in spite of Dr. Draulia's false hope. He was about to gloat when Dr. Dragulia spun around and slashed Gabriel's chest with the knife. Gabriel cried out in pain and held his hand to his chest. The cut was fairly deep, and he felt a sting at the touch of his hand. He looked up at and saw blood on Dr. Dragulia's knife.
Gabriel saw Dr. Dragulia's grin of satisfaction as he brought the knife closer to his mouth. 'He did say how much of my blood he needed to change into a vampire.' Gabriel thought terrified as the bloody knife grew closer to Dr. Dragulia's mouth.
Gabriel jumped forward to stop Dr. Dragulia, but it was too late. Dr. Dragulia had tasted his blood, and he threw down the knife as he hissed. He dropped to the ground, and Gabriel backed away. He saw Dr. Dragulia rear his head up and flash his canines, which had grown far beyond normal length. "No." Gabriel breathed as he stared over at Dr. Dragulia. He had no weapons to stop Dr. Dragulia from changing into his vampire form once again.
Dr. Dragulia let out a scream that transformed into a laugh. He laughed and glared up at Gabriel with his deathly pale blue eyes. "Gabriel," he taunted, "You failed. I'm back."
Gabriel backed away until he was up against the plexiglass wall, and he saw Dracula step closer to him. Dracula was toying with him, but he knew there was no reason to run because Dracula had far too much strength to let Gabriel escape so easily. 'But, it's your only option to live.' Gabriel told himself. So, Gabriel pushed himself off of the wall and ran forward towards to door to the interview room.
Dracula shoved Gabriel back with one hand, and Gabriel hit the plexiglass wall hard. Dracula looked down at his hand to see blood from Gabriel's cut on his palm. He licked his hand while staring at Gabriel. Gabriel cowered in front of Dracula, who grew closer. "Poor, Gabriel, for once you will know what it is like to be on the other side of our showdowns. Now, you will know what it is like to die."
Gabriel saw Dracula's fangs grow even longer, and he leaned closer to Gabriel's neck. All Gabriel could do was cower in Dracula's grasp and apologize for failing. Then, he shut his eyes tight waiting for the sharp sting of Dracula's fangs to pierce his neck. His last thoughts were of Cameron and Anna. 'Anna,' he thought. 'I'm sorry.'
Dr. Dragulia grinned evilly down at Cameron and he brought the scapel down against Cameron's neck. But, he did not press the blade down into Cameron's skin. He slide the blade down to cause a prickling sensation for Cameron, but then he stuck the blade into Cameron's chest. Cameron screamed out in pain and struggled against Dr. Dragulia, who only dug the scalpel deeper into Cameron's chest.
