(A/N: Ladies and gentlemen, prepare for the beginning of the climax!!! Oh, I don't own Van Helsing either.)

Chapter Twelve

Liz woke in the middle of the night to screaming.

"What the heck?" Liz said jumping out of bed. She looked down to make sure she was still dressed. She was. The teenager grabbed her coat and hat and ran out into the hall.

"What's going on?" Liz shouted running to Ali's room with her coat billowing out behind her. Liz got to her room and looked in. Nothing, it was empty.

"Bri!!" Liz shouted running to her room. Bri wasn't there either. Liz kept on running. She heard the sound of battle and Liz ran toward them. She got there to see her friends, Carl, Anna and Van Helsing battling werewolves.

Liz stood there a moment before she took a gun loaded with silver bullets. She began to fire at the wolves. Before Liz could hit one, a werewolf picked up Carl and ran out the door. Liz stopped firing.

"Carl!!" she shouted. The pack of wolves took this opportunity to take everyone captive and run off with them.

"Guys!!! NO!!!!" Liz shouted running after them.

"Anna! Carl!" she shouted as she began to trail.

"Ali!!! Bri!!!" The gap between her and the werewolves became bigger till they were out of sight.

"VAN HELSING!!!" Liz shouted up into the sky and fell to her knees. "Help." she said hanging her head in defeat.

Dracula smiled as he watched the girl. He had broken her. Now that she is shattered, it will be easy to get to her.

Liz looked up at the clouded sky and felt something on her cheek. It was a ran drop. Thunder rumbled and it began to pour. Liz shouted as loud as she could in aggravation. The birds in the nearby trees flew away as she screamed in agony. She then looked down and buried her face in her hands. She had lost everything. She couldn't go home. No one was there. She couldn't stay here, she had lost all her friends. Liz looked up to the clouds.

"What did I do?" she shouted with a few tears streaming down her face. "Huh? What did I do to deserve this punishment?? Tell me!!" Lightning and thunder was her only reply.

"Why?? Why did this happen, God???" Liz demanded.

"How am I supposed to kill the greatest evil alone?!?!?! I may be the back up Left hand of God, but I do need help!!!!" Liz shouted up as ran soaked through her clothes. It was raining so hard, she couldn't tell what was rain and what was tears.

Liz hung her head. "You're not going to answer me, are you?" she said quietly, then looked back up.

"You have a reason for everything." she said standing. "You better have a good reason for this." she mumbled as she slowly made her way back to Valerious Manor.

Dracula looked at the girl as she shouted something he couldn't hear. He was still smiling. All he needed was one more night. One more night, and he would win. He changed into his bat form and flew off.

By the time Liz got back to the Manor, the rain had turned into freezing rain. The ground was a giant skating rink. She shook out her coat along with her hat and went into Anna's room. Liz borrowed one of her long sleeved black shirts. Once again, it fit her pretty well. Liz also borrowed a pair of her black leather gloves. Liz slipped them on and walked to the arsenal. She hung her coat and hat by the roaring fire to dry out.

Liz loaded up with the bullets that Kevin had given her. She grabbed the rifle with the acid bullets and her tojo blades. Liz took the grappling gun with her along with silver stakes. Then she found something Carl had created. Somehow, he had managed to get some werewolf venom and put them in bullets. Liz smiled and put them in her coat just before she put the now dry and warm coat on. She slipped on her hat along with her mirrored sunglasses just to complete the feel. She tied her hair back in a ponytail with a black ribbon before she stepping in front of the painting of Transylvania.

"They should be there by now." Liz said to herself. "Anna's right, I am crazy." She took a deep breath.

"In the name of God, open this door." The rivers and lakes on the map became silver and the map slowly disappeared to reveal the mirror. Liz grabbed a torch and stepped through.

Thunder rolled and the lightning flashed as she looked at Dracula's castle.

"The one place I never wanted to see again. Now I have to go in." Liz said. She sighed and ran toward the castle.

(A/N: That's it for this chapter. I know it is extremely short, but it's a good stopping point. R&R and no flames please. Thanks!)
