Chapter 3:

"Carl, remind me never to ride any of your 'machines in progress' again," Van Helsing said, walking down the streets of Venice. Carl walked behind him, carrying all of Gabriel's weapons.

"Hey! My flying machine worked well!" Carl protested, walking faster to keep up with the vanquisher of evil.

"Yah, until we flew over the ocean!"

"Well I did say that it was in progress…."

"But you didn't say that we might fall all of a sudden, into the ocean!" Van Helsing shot back.

"How was I suppose to know that it would malfunction all of a sudden…"

"But it did anyway!"

"I would think that you would be at least a little grateful! I got us here in record time!" Carl frowned.

"Well I'm--wait. The ring you gave me is blinking. What does that mean?" Van Helsing asked, looking down at the silver ring on his right hand. The ring was divided into 4 sections and each section had N,S,W, or E engraved on it.

"That means some sort of vampire is near! Look at which section the ring is blinking and that's the direction of where it is!" Carl exclaimed. Van Helsing looked down at the ring. The section with N engraved in it was blinking! North! Grabbing his crossbow from Carl, Gabriel raced down the street, following the directions the ring was giving.

"Van Helsing! Wait for me!" Carl shouted, running through the crowded streets after him.

The ring blinked furiously as Gabriel stepped into the dark alley. He lit a torch and waved the light around the alley. Spotting something on the ground, Van Helsing kneeled down and shone the torch at the person's face.

"It hurts," the man moaned, clutching the thing between his chubby legs (A/N: I'm sure you know what I mean!).

"Vixen," Gabriel smirked. He got up and continued walking down the alley. Suddenly, he heard two people talking.

"What do you want with me?" A woman's voice trembled.

"I want you to become my bride." A cold voice replied. Running as fast as he could, Van Helsing rounded a corner to see a huge creature with the body of a werewolf and a head of vampire, cornering a trembling, black haired woman. Stringing the crossbow, Van Helsing aimed and fired. The arrow pierced through the creature's back. It howled in anger and turned to face Gabriel.

"Gabriel Van Helsing, I've been hoping to meet you," Dratama smiled coldly.

"I'd love to say the same, but I don't like to lie," Van Helsing replied, his eyes turning to look at Vixen.

"I see you like my bride, Van Helsing," Dratama grinned, grabbing Vixen closer to him. Gabriel watched as Dratama raked his sharp teeth across her neck, teasingly. Van Helsing lifted his crossbow, about to fire at him again. Suddenly, dozens of bats suddenly stormed onto him and slammed Gabriel against a wall. Van Helsing groaned in pain as blood trickled from the side of his head.

"I knew you would try to stop me, but luckily, I was well prepared," Dratama laughed.

"Let go of me, you monster," Vixen growled.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. You shouldn't be so impolite to your future husband, Vixen," Dratama scolded, slapping her across the face with his large werewolf claws. Bright red marks shone on her cheek, and blood seeped out of her mouth. Dratama licked the blood eagerly.

"Do not worry, my bride. Those marks will go away as soon as I bite you."

"Carl, hurry up," Van Helsing muttered, still pinned onto the wall. They didn't have much time until Dratama actually bit Vixen.

"You should be proud, Van Helsing. You are here to witness me turning beautiful Vixen into my wonderful bride," Dratama smirked, baring his teeth and preparing to bite into Vixen's smooth skin.

"Van Helsing!" A voice shouted from the darkness. Startled, Dratama and Van Helsing turned around to see an out-of-breath Carl running towards them.

"Van Helsing! I got the weapon that can--" Carl stopped talking as he noticed what was happening in the scene in front of him.

"Don't just stand there, Carl! Help me get free!" Gabriel shouted, struggling against the bats.

"Oh, sorry," Carl said, reaching into his pocket and taking out a small pouch. He took out a handful of yellow powder and tossed it at Van Helsing. The soft powder trickled down onto the bats….and nothing happened.

"Are you sure this stuff works?!" Gabriel shouted as the bat's binds tightened.

"Idiot," Vixen muttered as Dratama laughed.

"Wait for it…." Before Carl could even finish saying this, the bats pinning Van Helsing to the wall, shrieked in pain. They released Gabriel and flew off into the dark sky.

"See, it worked! And you people were laughing!" Carl said triumphantly.

"Just pass me the weapon," Van Helsing demanded. Carl nodded. He took out a short, silver dagger and tossed it to Gabriel. Catching the dagger, Van Helsing took a second to aim and flung it at the half vampire, half werewolf. Dratama attempted to escape, but he was too late. The dagger pierced into his shoulder. Dratama roared with anger and let go of Vixen. She dropped onto the floor, rubbing her sore arm. The thick fur on Dratama's body disappeared and was replaced with human flesh. His pointed teeth returned to its normal length and he turned back into his human form.

"Van Helsing," Dratama hissed, his voice filled with hatred, "you will pay for what you have done." Suddenly, thousands of bats circled around him and he was lifted up into the sky.

"I will be back, my bride." His voice echoed in the dark night. A few seconds later, Vixen got up from the floor and brushed the dirt of her clothes. She picked up her sword and put it back into her leather boots.

"Thanks," she muttered, before she started walking away.

"Wait!" Van Helsing shouted, grabbing Vixen's arm. She turned around to face him, her eyes flashing.

"Let go of me!" Vixen growled, wrenching her arms out of his grasp.

"Don't mind him, my dear lady, he doesn't know how to communicate well with people," Carl said, smiling at her.

"Just leave me alone," Vixen rolled her eyes and started to walk the other way again, but once again, Gabriel stopped her.

"What do you want, Van Helsing?!" Vixen said angrily.

"All I want to do is help you."

"I don't need your help!" Vixen replied, crossing her arms.

"Right. That's why you almost got bitten by Dratama."

"I--I just didn't expect that to happen, that's all."

"Well, I'm here to make sure that this would never happen again." Van Helsing said.

"I DON'T NEED YOUR HELP!"

"Let me do this, Van Helsing. You're making matters worse!" Carl said, pushing him aside. Gabriel shrugged and let Carl do the talking.

"Lady Camrize, please listen to what we have to say before you say no."

"Fine," the black haired woman grumbled. Giving Gabriel the thumbs up, Carl started telling Vixen about Dratama and his plans.

"So that's why we must protect you from Dratama. Even though we're perfectly sure that you are capable of protecting yourself, we can never be too sure," Carl finished. Vixen thought for a while and then slowly nodded.

"Fine. You can protect me all you want, BUT I still want my privacy."

"Whatever you say, my dear lady!" Carl nodded, winking at Van Helsing. Gabriel grinned. He might actually be able to learn something from the young friar.

A few minutes later, they all walked into a huge castle. It was brightly lit with beautiful chandeliers. The walls were made out of the most beautiful marble and pictures were carved into them.

"Wow! This is beautiful," Carl awed, touching the beautifully carved pictures.

"Don't touch!" Vixen said, slapping Carl's hand, "these were carved by my great ancestors and are very valuable." Carl withdrew his hands quickly.

"Now if you would please excuse me, I need to get some rest," Vixen said, walking up the stairs.

"Where's the library?!" Carl asked, looking around the vast house.

"Fourth door to the left," Vixen answered as she stepped onto the second floor. Carl smiled happily and ran towards the library.

Vixen walked down the hall of the second floor and opened the door to her room. Just as she was about to close the door, Van Helsing popped out of nowhere.

"Where are you going?" He asked.

"I'm going to sleep. Is that a problem, oh great vanquisher of evil?" Vixen said coldly.

"No, but I'll be checking on you in five minutes. So if you're going to change, I advise you to change fast."

"Ok! Now leave me alone!" Vixen slammed the door in his face.

"He's so annoying!" Vixen shouted to the empty room.

"Who is so annoying?" A voice in her head said.

"Thunder? You're here?" Vixen opened the window and saw the giant eagle flying outside.

"Yes. Do we not have a mission today?" Thunder asked telepathically.

"Yah, but we have to leave fast," Vixen said as she pulled off her clothes and put on a tight, leather outfit.

"And why is that?"

"It's because of that stupid Van Helsing."

"Van Helsing? I thought you got rid of him." Thunder said. Vixen explained what was happening as she put on a large, black coat.

"Then you must not go on this mission, miss! You are in mortal danger!" Thunder exclaimed.

"I must go, Thunder. The kids in the Children's Home needs this money," Vixen said, "anyway, I can protect myself just fine."

"Fine, but we better do this fast."

"Sure thing, Thunder," Vixen said, as she put on the large hood that hid her face. She climbed out of the window and onto Thunder's back.

"Five minutes are up! I'm coming in!" Van Helsing shouted, grinning. He barged open the door to see an open window, wind blowing the curtains. Alarmed, Gabriel charged into the room and looked out the window. Outside, Vixen grinned and waved at the bewildered Van Helsing.

"Stupid girl," Van Helsing muttered as he burst out of the doors of the castle, chasing after the large eagle in the sky.
