CHAPTER 14
----Note: This is the beginning of the good ending. For the bad ending, look after the Epilogue----
Reinhardt pulled open the large coffin's lid to reveal nothing but a cloud of dust.
"Huh?"
Both he and Carrie looked around the sanctuary for the missing vampire. Dracula was nowhere to be found...A scornful laugh came from above their heads.
"Miserable worms, you dare oppose the power of darkness? Is it death you seek?"
The both of them looked up. The Servant formed from the risen smoke cloud and hovered to the ground.
"As you wish. Come, I will tear you limb from limb!"
Dracula watched the battle from afar, hidden from them all. The battle was surprisingly short, and of course Carrie and Reinhardt were victorious. The Servant laughed.
"So you thought you had won? To save the world is not so simple. Miserable creatures, how dare you oppose my evil might? Darkness will rule! Die you weak fools!"
Brilliant beams of light skewered through him, as if crucifying his soul. The light consumed him, until nothing was left but his cape, which fell to the ground and caught fire.
Reinhardt and Carrie stood in silence for a few moments, watching the cape become consumed by the flames.
"Dracula is dead then..." Reinhardt said finally. "Our mission is complete."
The ground underneath them shook.
"What's happening?" Carrie asked.
The ceiling started to crumble.
"The castle is falling!" Reinhardt exclaimed. "We need to get out of here!"
Both of them hurried out of the sanctuary and down the long flight of crumbling steps. Without warning, an arrow shot down from the sky, missing Carrie by an inch.
"What the--?"
She looked in the direction that the arrow was shot. There, in the sky was a boy riding a dark winged horse...
"Malus!"
He sped up, flying past them and atop the closest of the castle's towers.
"Come on!" She said to Reinhardt. "We must follow him!"
"But Carrie, the castle is collapsing!"
