Chapter 12: "I've never seen the sea"
Miles looked at the environment around him. A vast area of land with grass, and then a forest. He stood up, feeling dizzy. The sun almost blinded him, and it touched the sea.
"The sea?" he muttered to himself. Just then, the Hellbeast transformed right before his eyes. Harven stood there, running his finger through his pitch black hair.
"We made it," the vampire exclaimed. Miles stared at the lapping waves of the sea. The doctor looked at his hands. Three scars lay wide on each palm.
"We are here!" Miles exclaimed. Harven smiled and walked around in a circle, stopping every other minute to click his feet.
"Yes, where Princess Anna Velarious was buried! Right here on this spot!" Harven said. He pointed his pointer finger down to the ground and three black sparks flew from it. They hit the ground, and it started to sizzle and crack. Miles reached into his pocket and pulled out a pair of glasses.
"What if those meddlers come and ruin this?" Miles asked, taking the glasses off and rubbing them on the lab coat he wore. Harven smiled and looked into the sky. Clouds began to wrap themselves around the sun and far off in the distance, a thunder boom was heard. The vampire looked down and saw the ground lowering itself. Dirt was spat everywhere as this happened. At that moment, lightning came down from the sky and struck the earth where Harven and Miles stood.
Alvonia dropped the three into the forest. They landed with a soft thud and quickly stood up.
"Van Helsing" Alvonia snapped in her quick Transylvanian accent.
"Yes?" he asked. She smoothed her hair and returned to human form.
"There are things in the forest that may dismay are arrival to the vampire and doctor!" she said, raising her eyebrows. He pulled the stunning weapon out and shot at where Frankenstein stood. The creature dodged to the side and saw that a slender Banshee had fallen to the ground. Alvonia looked at Gabriel and smiled.
"I know" the monster hunter replied. Meanwhile, Carl had sat down behind a tree trunk and began to drink from a large canteen filled with water. Alvonia hurriedly shifted to her Banshee form and flew above the ground. She turned to Van Helsing again and nodded her head. Frankenstein had made his way over to Carl and remained with him. Van Helsing ran alongside Alvonia's flying and aimed the stunning weapon at a large Banshee that soared toward them. When the bullet pierced her, she screamed and then laughed. Alvonia screamed louder than it and soared at her. The enemy opened the palm of her hand and a flash of red flew from it. It struck Alvonia and she flew backward. The monster was about to do the same to Van Helsing, but he shot the palm where the flash came from. She screamed and the bullet that pierced her made blood pour down the long, bony arm. The Banshee fell to the forest floor and lay dead. Gabriel saw no more Banshee come now, so he raced to Alvonia. She lay in human form, clutching the place where the flash had hit her.
"Alvonia?" he asked. She gasped and smiled. Her right hand reached out and touched the monster hunter's face.
"The Banshee seem to have new power given to them by Harven" she said, gasping between each word. Gabriel took her hand.
"Can you transform?" Van Helsing asked. She closed her eyes and at the speed of light, she shifted from her, to Carl, to Dracula, to Miles, to Cardinal Jinnete.
"Yes" the shape shifter replied through a slightly closed mouth.
"So if you were a Banshee, could you use the new powers?" he asked. She smiled.
"Harven gave them that power. It is a power I alone cannot obtain" she replied. He wiped his brow free of sweat and held her hand again.
"I will have Carl give you a concoction, while I take care of the rest of the creatures" he said. She smiled and closed her eyes. The monster hunter picked her up and walked her over to the trunk Carl sat by.
"Is she okay?" the friar asked. Frankenstein looked at the wound and opened his mouth, revealing several chipped teeth.
"She has been wounded by a Banshee! One of her own!" the creature said.
"What medicine would she need for that, Carl?" Gabriel asked. The friar dragged the weapon bag over to them and started to pull many bottles out. Some were labeled Dogswain, other Moonksaw. Van Helsing had never heard such things before, and the liquids inside that were colored swamp green and dark blue were foreign to him. Suddenly, the friar held up a large bottle that was grey.
"Holy water" Carl said. He lowered the bottle to Alvonia's lips and it poured down her throat slowly. The shape shifter smiled and lifted her hands up to her lips. The wound on her stomach began to disappear. Now, Alvonia went as limp as a bonefish. Van Helsing sighed and closed his eyes. In the distant, they heard an ear piercing screech. Gabriel looked past the tree trunk and saw a large amount of Banshees screaming and flying around in a circle.
"Carl, Frankenstein, make sure that Alvonia is kept safe! I have to deal with something" the monster hunter said. The two nodded their heads and he readied the stunning weapon. "One, two, three..." he thought in his head. Gabriel ran and shot at the crowd. They screamed and began to fall to the ground. After at least ten had fallen, a large, red light appeared in the middle of them. Gabriel's eyes grew wide and the light soared toward him. He quickly pulled the grappling gun out and shot at the nearest tree. He soared toward it and landed on the branch. The Banshee screamed louder as it hit another tree. Their attention turned to the monster hunter as he shot at them more. The red light was crafted again and it shot at him. He shot the stunning weapon and it collided with the light. The stun bullet pushed the light down, while the light tried harder and harder to come up. When the bullet flew down and hit a Banshee, the red light hit Van Helsing in the chest. He yelled and fell of the tree branch. More light came and struck him more and more. Gabriel Van Helsing was lost to the world.
Harven lowered to the ground and placed his hands on Anna's shoulders. Lightning struck the earth again. Miles saw the princess and laughed more and more, jumping up and down. He was muttering things wildly and making loud booming noises every time he came back to the ground. More thunder and lightning and suddenly, lightning struck Harven. He yelled as the bolt went into Anna. The princess was writhing with electricity. She opened her eyes slowly and closed them.
"Limp as a bonefish" I got that from Return of the King,,,,(Lord of the Rings)...More to come soon!
