Chapter 2
Dracula launched himself at Van Helsing, teeth bared, going for his neck. Van Helsing dodged and threw a punch to Dracula's stomach, which hit its target. In mid air Dracula did a somersault so as to land on his feet. Then when on his feet he ran to the far side of the room grabbed a sword and turned to face Van Helsing.
"That was a nasty little trick going for my neck there," said Van Helsing. "Ah, Hello, Vampire, evil, nasty, tricky." Commented Dracula. Who then once again reached behind him and grabbed a throwing knife, and threw it at Van Helsing who quickly dodged it.
At this point Carl was hiding behind the table whining. Van Helsing drew his sword and stabbed Dracula with it right in the chest… He just stood there and slowly a twisted smile crept across his face. Van Helsing stepped back and watched him.
"It is no use trying to kill me that is impossible" he said as he gracefully pulled the sword hilt away from him drawing the sword out of him. He threw it away
" Nothing is Impossible" replied Van Helsing, grabbing his crossbow and firing. The shot hit Dracula.
"I don't know why you are doing this you are just wasting your time and prolonging the time of your death" Dracula teased. Van Helsing ran forward and grabbed Dracula by the throat " Believe me" he said, " If there is a way to kill you I will do it. If I can do it once I can do it again." Van Helsing said, the anger building in his voice. Then Dracula did something that Van Helsing did not expect. Swiftly he pulled the arrow out of his arm and stuck it in Van Helsing.
Carl gasped and Van Helsing's eyes went wide. He looked down at the arrow sticking out of his stomach and fell for ward onto Dracula, who patted him on the back and said "Oh, Gabriel, Gabriel, you have done it again". Then Van Helsing fell to his knees in front of Dracula.
The sun had gone down and there now was no chance of Van Helsing using his last strength, to push Dracula in front of the hole in the wall into the remnants of the sunlight.
Dracula walked away over to the hole in the wall. "You know Gabriel you killed both my brides. Maybe not personally but you, you were in charge of the operation, weren't you?" Dracula spoke as if everything was calm. By this time the Mud Person had run out of the room and Carl had finally stood up from behind the table…
"You were the cause of all this commotion, but we don't always have to be enemies you know. We could be friends" Van Helsing was about to collapse onto his back, so Carl ran out and caught him and let his head, rest on his lap.
"We're not so different you and I you know" Dracula continued. Van Helsing took a deep, rasping breath. "Except you are evil and I'm good and you are a Vampire and I am a human" he said with a little difficulty.
"Yes that is true but I can change all that" I, at the moment am planning to bite you" Carl gasped "Yes that's right and turn you into a Vampire. I have a secret to tell you Gabriel. Have you ever wondered why it was you who was chosen to kill Vampires?" Van Helsing looked surprised "Yes, I thought so. You have amnesia don't you? Of your past. Where you came from? Well I know. You are old. Very old. Although you can't remember it you had a life before this Vampire Slayer thing."
"How do you know anything about me and why did you care?" asked Van Helsing "Because you were my BROTHER! WE HAD THE SAME FILTHY HUMAN MOTHER. WHO FELL IN LOVE WITH A PURE BLOOD A TRUE VAMPIRE! AND THEY GOT MARRIED AND HAD A CHILD! ME! I GOT ALL OF MY FATHER'S CHARACTERISTICS! THEN FATHER BIT MOTHER SHE WAS VAMPIRE. THEY LIVED FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS AND THEN MOTHER WAS KILLED AND IT WAS ME AND FATHER! THEN HE GOT MARRIED AGAIN AND SHE WAS HUMAN ASWELL. THEN
THEY HAD you. You were then all human. It was disgrace to the family."
That isn't true it couldn't be. Why did you have so much trouble having children then?" Gasped Van Helsing. " Well, when your mother is human it is impossible to have a completely pure blood son…" Dracula replied quietly. "You aren't pure blood!" questioned Van Helsing "Not completely and a half blood vampire cannot successfully produce offspring with a changeling a changed Vampire. It doesn't really work. I need a half blood Bride. I thought that it was worth a try though! So my plan is to turn you into a Vampire get you a bride then you will both be changelings and have offspring that will be half bloods then I can produce offspring aswell and we will be able to rule the world together… No more filthy humans."
"Why would I want to do that (cough, cough) I wont." He said raspy.
"Oh, my dear Gabrielle it is not a matter of choice, brother." "Never call me that!"
Carl was completely astonished. He was just sitting there with his mouth wide open. "Would you please close your mouth, there's a draft!" instructed Dracula testily
Carl, suddenly realising that his mouth was open quickly snapped it shut. He jumped up and ran straight out the door, with Van Helsing in his arms. Well rather straight at the door and CRASH right into it, dead centre. "Even Egore wasn't that stupid! He would have opened the door and then fell down the stairs." Dracula said disgruntled.
Carl jumped up and said, " Listen, even if you bite him he will still have his free will, barely, but it will still be there for a while." "Yes well I'll just put him in a cage." Replied Dracula like it was the most obvious thing in the world. "Don't you think it is strange" said Carl "That an arrow had so much effect on him" and at that very moment, Van Helsing jumped up and grabbed a stake from his belt threw it at Dracula's heart and spun round to open the door. Dracula with having such quick reflexes caught it a centimetre from his chest and threw it back towards Van Helsing; it hit him in the lower part of his back. He cried out in pain and turned the door handle and ran down the stairs… Carl quickly slammed the door behind him and Van Helsing handed him a torch. Carl leaned over to the door and set it on fire. They started to run down the stairs, in Van Helsing's case stumble, when the door gave way and showed Dracula fully transformed. He roared. Carl stopped to look at him, surprised but Van Helsing grabbed him and said: "come on you stupid friar".
Carl started to run, but straight away, banged into Van Helsing and they both went tumbling down the stairs, Dracula hot on their heels broke the wall on each side of the staircase with his large wings that stuck out at each side. Although Dracula's Castle had been practically destroyed some of the Mud People were still alive.
The remaining Mud People had gathered round the bottom of the staircase to see what all the commotion was about. Carl and Van Helsing, who were rolling down the stairs in a ball, swiftly knocked them all down. "GET THEM" Dracula screamed at the top of his transformed voice. "NOW"!
Quickly, the Mud People scrambled to get up but they had all been knocked down and landed on top of each other. By the time the first three of the Mud People had got their bearings, Van Helsing and Carl had already got out the door…well out the wall I suppose.
Sorry everybody I have completely messed up. Thanks for all your reviews and sorry about the Egore-Igore business. Now I know how to spell it. I know that the characters would probably talk that way but… Let's call it artistic license! This is chapter 2 what did you think? I am real stupid and have already loaded chapter 2 as a separate story but I have found out now how to use chapter manager now so sorry!
