Chapter 7: Carl's invention

"I won't be talking, Gabriel Van Helsing! You're the one that's always messing things up!" Vixen shouted with fury.

"Me?! How about you! You're the one that caused this mess!" Van Helsing yelled back.

"You think you're so good, but you aren't! You never admit that you're wrong!"

"How am I wrong?! You're the one that did this! I'm not the one that think I'm so good, you're the one that thinks that, Vixen Camrize!"

"Uh…excuse me?" Carl interrupted, but they just continued to fight.

"You know what you are Van Helsing?! You're a bastard! A filthy, no-good bastard!"

"Well at least I'm not a bitch that thinks that she can get away with everything!"

"Excuse me!" Carl said louder, his eye twitching with annoyance.

"I'm not the bitch around here, Van Helsing, you are!"

"See? There you go again! Copying my words!"

"I am not copying your--"

"EXCUSE ME!" Carl shouted with all his might. Surprised, they both turned around to see a very ticked off Carl glaring at both of them.

"Why are you two fighting when you could be praising my new invention?" he snapped. Vixen scowled and pointed to a broken cup on the floor.

"You're fighting over that?" Carl said in disbelief.

"It's all stupid Van Helsing's fault. I was just getting a cup, about to pour myself a nice cup of water, when he suddenly bumps into me and makes me drop my cup! So I told him to pick up the glass, but he won't listen! Instead, he told me to clean it up myself!"

"Excuse me, Miss. Camrize, but you didn't tell me to clean up the glass as kindly as you said you did. If I remember clearly, you called me a 'stupid, clumsy fool' before you told me to sweep it up!"

"I did not say anything so--"

"SHUT UP!" Carl shouted again as the two monster slayers got ready to launch themselves into another fight. Carl's eye twitched at he glared at them with so much intensity that they looked down.

"I stayed up the whole night making this stupid invention and I would appreciate it if you two would stop bickering for three seconds and let me show it to you!" Carl said with a do-not-defy-me-or-face-my-wrath tone. Vixen and Gabriel's eyes widened, they never knew that Carl was capable of saying anything with that tone.

"Ok, no problem, Carl," Gabriel said quickly.

"Yah, I'll pick up the glass." Vixen kneeled down and started to pick up the remains of her cup.

"As I was saying before, I've invented something that would be able to stop Dratama from getting near Vixen! At first I---" Carl was interrupted by a sudden cry of pain from Vixen.

"Vixen! You ok?" Gabriel asked, rushing to her side.

"Yah, I'm fine, don't worry, Gabriel. I just jabbed my finger on a piece of glass…" Vixen started, showing him the cut.

"WHAT!? Let me see that!" Van Helsing exclaimed, grabbing her hand and looking at the finger.

"I'm fine, Gabriel. Honest," Vixen protested softly, but Carl could tell that she was touched by Van Helsing's worry.

"Good thing it wasn't too deep, hopefully, it won't get infected. But just in case, let me put something on it," Gabriel said after inspecting the wound carefully. Vixen smiled at him at nodded. Carl shook his head to disbelief. These two were impossible to figure out. One minute, they were fighting over something as little as a broken cup, and the next, they're cuddling up to each other.

"Hello? Vixen? Van Helsing? I'm trying to tell you something here!" Carl exclaimed, crossing his arms.

"Oh, sorry about that, Carl," Gabriel said, letting go of Vixen's hand quickly. Vixen got up and looked down at her hands.

"Anyway, as I was saying, before you two got all cuddly," Carl said, shooting a glare at both of them, causing Vixen to blush, "I've invented something that could stop Dratama from getting near Vixen! It works like this---" Carl was once again interrupted by Vixen.

"What are you doing, Gabriel?"

"Picking up the pieces of the cup," Van Helsing replied as he picked up each piece of glass carefully.

"Aren't I supposed to be the one doing that?"

"Yes, but since you're injured…."

"Injured? What do you mean? I just cut my finger…hey wait a minute. Oh I see what you're saying now!" Vixen said angrily, "you're saying that woman can't handle doing anything when they're hurt! I get it now! Move out of the way, I'll pick up the glass."

"What?! Where did you get that? I don't mean that at all!" Gabriel protested as Vixen pushed him away and bent down to pick up the remaining glass on the floor.

"Right," Vixen snorted, "you're just saying that because I found out!"

"Damn it! I try to help you out and you say that I'm looking down on woman!"

"That's because you are," Vixen said coldly, dumping the glass onto the table.

"I am not!"

"Yes you are, you filthy little liar!"

"Bitch."

"Bastard."

"Dumb ass."

"Stupid fool."

And they kept on going, trying to call each other with the worst names possible. Carl sighed, he could never get anyone of their attention when they're with each other. They either start fighting with each other or get too cuddly.

"WILL YOU TOO PLEASE STOP FOR FIVE SECONDS!" Carl shouted. Vixen and Gabriel stopped bickering and turned to look at Carl.

"Put this around your neck and it'll protect you," Carl said. He dumped a chain on the wooden table and walked out angrily.

"What's the matter with him?" Vixen said, picking up the silver chain. It looked like every other chain, except for the fact that you could feel warmth radiating from it.

"I don't know. Here, let me help you put it on," Van Helsing said. She nodded and handed him the chain. Gabriel turned Vixen around and swept her black locks aside. Just as he put the necklace around her neck, he noticed another golden chain.

"What's this?" he asked curiously. Vixen twirled quickly around as she heard this and swept her hair so that it covered the back of her neck again.

"It's none of your business!" Vixen snapped before marching out of the room.

"What's the matter with everybody today!?" Van Helsing thought as he scratched his head.

LATER

Vixen marched angrily out of the castle, closely followed by Van Helsing.

"Do you HAVE to follow me everywhere? You're like a dog!" she growled.

"I don't want to follow you, it's just that I have to, it's my job," Gabriel replied.

"ARGH! You're so annoying! Can't a woman get some alone time!?"

"Yes, but not you," Van Helsing said as they walked out onto the street. Suddenly, an idea popped into her head. She ripped a hole in her shirt and turned around to face Gabriel. Smiling evilly, she grabbed Gabriel's arms and wrapped them around her waist.

"What are you---"

"HELP! LET GO OF ME, YOU BASTARD!" Vixen shouted, pounding her fists on his chest.

"What are you doing?" Gabriel hissed, pushing her away from him, but it was too late. A huge angry crowd had already gathered around them. Vixen hid her face with her hands, pretending to sob loudly.

"Oh, you poor thing," an old woman said kindly, patting Vixen's shaking back. A man looked at Vixen and pointed accusingly at Gabriel.

"He did this to the poor woman! GET HIM!"

"No wait, it's not what it looks like," Van Helsing said as the crowd advanced on him. Behind the angry people, Gabriel could see Vixen wink at him and run away.

"Just you wait, Vixen Camrize. When I get out of here, you are so dead!" Gabriel mumbled before disappearing in the angry mob.

Vixen laughed as she walked away from the angry mob. She finally got rid of that annoying man! Even though he looked kind of handsome when he was angry…

"Don't you go thinking about him now!" Vixen scolded herself angrily, "you finally got rid of him and you WON'T think about him now!" Vixen spent the rest of the day walking around the town, trying to rid her thoughts of "the stupid bastard." After a while of doing this with no success, Vixen walked onto a sandy beach. She sat down on the sand and watched the waves swoosh back and forth. Suddenly, dark clouds came out of nowhere and covered the sun. Worried, Vixen got up quickly and looked up into the sky to see a huge figure flying. The familiar creature landed on the beach, his lips curved in an evil grin.

"Dratama!" Vixen exclaimed, backing away.

"Don't run away, my bride," Dratama said, walking closer to her. Vixen tried to escape, but the half-breed was too fast and caught her arm in a tight grasp. Before she could even react, Dratama screamed and let go of her. Confused, Vixen looked at his hand and was shocked to see red burn marks on it.

"The chain really works…" she mumbled. Dratama screamed in pain again and clutched his arm.

"You can't get away that easily, bitch," he growled. Just as he was about to slash at Vixen again, a blade pierced into his cold flesh.

"I don't think so, Dratama."

Vixen turned around to see Van Helsing. Besides the fact that his black cloak was torn and he had cuts on his face, he looked okay after the attack from the mob.

"I will be back for you, Vixen, and next time, I will get you as my bride," Dratama screeched before flying away. As soon as he left, the dark clouds lifted and the rays of the sun were cast onto the once cold beach.

"Gabriel…I'm---"

"Let's go," Van Helsing interrupted coldly. He walked away, not letting Vixen say how sorry she was. She sighed and followed him back to the castle.
