Chapter 10: Obeying the Moonlight.

Harven flew over the lair, looking into the stormy sky. Lightning patterned itself after large booms of thunder. He smiled and lowered down to the entrance. The castle was old, shabby, and worn with age. The vampire saw the doors open and flew through them.
"Welcome home!" he yelled, dropping Miles and Frankenstein. Harven laughed to himself. Miles was whimpering and clutching his chest. "Yes, I see you there, Miles, and please, do something about your wound!" he yelled. The doctor limped over to a large stretcher and turned three buttons on. The large machines above whirred and whistled. Frankenstein, who was being tied by Harven, yelled and growled.
"You will never win, creature of hell!" the monster yelled. Harven stopped laughing and stroked his own forehead, and then his face. His finger was covered with thick blood. The scratches of Alvonia had made him bleed more and more, letting the vampire feel warm blood trickle down the cheek.
"You don't know that!" Miles said. Frankenstein turned and saw no one. Harven flicked his hand and the blood flicked upon the creature's face.
"Doctor Miles once knew your father, Victor Frankenstein! He gave Miles permission to use you in any experiment he needed!" the vampire said, stroking his face again "Cooperate or your blood will be a feast for a whole crowd of vampires!" he laughed. Harven threw the creature down on the stretcher.
"Aaagh! You will not win, winged beast!" Frankenstein yelled. More groans came from the old mouth. Harven smiled as the stretcher began to rise into the air. The vampire turned to Miles. The man had injected his arm with the same serum he used to become invisible.
"Now, Miles, I need to consult something with you!" he said. The doctor threw the serum down and sighed.
"To get the Princess?" Miles asked.
"To get the Princess" Harven replied.

Alvonia lowered Gabriel to a tall tree.
"The Wolf Man?" Gabriel asked. Alvonia sighed and closed her eyes. She was human for a moment and then turned into a Banshee again.
"There are more than one Wolf Man. We have to be very careful, so that the beast cannot smell us out!" she whispered. When she had finished, the tree shook. The two looked down and saw a large, furry creature attempting to climb up the tree. It growled wildly. Its teeth snapped and drool spilled out. Alvonia's wings spread and she flew toward it. Van Helsing saw her clawing at its face.
"ALVONIA!" he yelled. She screamed and turned.
"Don't shoot it!" she yelled back. He remembered Carl.
"Where is Carl?" Van Helsing yelled.
"On another tree!" the Banshee replied. The Wolf Man had hit her across the face. She smiled and transformed into the cheetah like creature Van Helsing had seen before when she fought the Gillman. It grew two sizes. His eyes grew wide. The cheetah creature pounced at the werewolf. It growled and lunged away. Gabriel could see that the moonlight lit its grayish-brown fur. In another moment, Gabriel looked to the sky. In this part of the forest, the moon shone brightly, but near Harven's lair, lightning was hurled from thunder clouds.
"Van Helsing..." a distant cry came from a nearby tree. He turned and saw a fire lit in one. Carl stood in the tree, waving his hands in the air. Gabriel rolled his eyes.
"Hold on Carl!" the monster hunter said. Carl gave a worried look as Van Helsing shot the grappling gun at the friar's tree. He picked Carl up and they both went soaring through the trees as the grapple hit each branch. They tried to catch up with Alvonia, but she was nowhere in sight. When the grapple lunged toward another tree, it didn't get caught on a branch, but something got a hold of it. The two went soaring toward the Wolf Man.

Alvonia chased the Wolf Man, attempting to become faster than the creature. They reached a clearing in the forest. The Wolf Man stopped running, along with the cheetah beast. It turned and smiled, revealing dirty fangs. She stopped and saw the outline of three wolves coming toward her. Alvonia growled. She spat on the ground. The wolves jumped out and growled at the top of her lungs. Her eyes grew wide and she jumped into the air, shifting into her Banshee form. The creature screamed as she flew away from them. They looked at each other and raced after her. The Banshee rose higher into the sky, while the wolves jumped from tree to tree. When she was well above the trees, she heard a yell in the distance, and then thunder. Her wings flapped as she flew toward the noise. The Banshee flew past a crowd of tall trees and then saw it: Harvens' Lair stood above everything else. She saw lighting hit the castle. Another yell came, and when Alvonia went to fly toward it, a large, clawed hand grabbed her ankle. She looked down and saw a werewolf attempting to pull her down. The Banshee screamed and flew from the grasp. The Wolf Man growled and chomped at her. Alvonia's fingernails grew and she lunged her hands down to it. The beast whined as the silver nails dug into its skin.
"Goodbye!" she yelled. It growled and fell from the tree. The shape shifter turned back to human form and looked around. Wings came from her back and she flew away where Van Helsing and Carl had been left.

Carl stayed on the Wolf Man's back, yelling. Van Helsing pointed the stunning weapon at it. The rope Carl held around its neck was tied tight.
"The moonlight consumes you" the monster hunter said slowly. It snapped its jaws. Van Helsing looked up and saw clouds smothering the moon. The wolf howled as he transformed into a short man.
"Do not hurt me!" the man whimpered, rope still around his neck. Carl had jumped off once he was a human.
"What's your name?" Van Helsing asked. The man sighed and shook his head.
"Why is it that you request my..." he broke off. He gasped and clutched his chest. Carl stood back and stared at Gabriel. The monster hunter took his pistol out and readied it. The clouds went away from the moon and he yelled. He fell from the tree and started to rip his skin off. The moon touched the whole forest. He screamed. Van Helsing pointed the pistol at him and the Wolf Man screamed. The moon was covered again and the man turned back.
"Why?" the man asked, and those were his last words. Moments later, Alvonia flew down and picked them up.
"What has happened?" Gabriel asked. She shook her head.
"I will tell you later! Now, we move toward Harven!" she yelled. As they flew higher, the moon gave the land a gentle, peaceful feeling. They soared through the air and head toward Frankenstein.
"Um, Van Helsing?" Carl asked. Gabriel looked down and saw the trees moving. He tried to get the shape shifter's attention.
"Alvonia, look down" Gabriel said silently. The three werewolves that had chased her before jumped from the trees. She rolled her eyes as they flew faster toward their destination.

More wolves coming soon!!!!!!!!
