--Failed Antidote--

A/N: Sorry, sorry, for being late with the updates! I'm trying my best to update all the chapters of my other fanfics! Anyways, I hope you like it and please read and review! (Thank you for the REVIEWS!)

Summary: What if the antidote didn't make the werewolf venom disappear? What if Anna wasn't killed in the process? And what if without the antidote, Van Helsing is free to roam about without Dracula's will over him? What if another monster hunter is now after Van Helsing... to kill him? What IF Dracula's alive?

Disclaimer: Don't own Van Helsing, probably never will! (wails pitifully)

Chapter Four:
What Happens Next?

Dracula almost laughed out loud as he stared coldly at the werewolf. The werewolf roared, its yellow predator eyes darting from one way to another. There was no recognition lingering in the wolf's eyes, only hunger, rage and fury.

Dracula remembered his Brides and his heart felt icy cold as he felt their last longing to be with him. Dracula looked distastefully at the wolf, who stared back at him, observing its prey.

"Gabriel, you murdered me, killed me again! And not only myself but now my Brides. You shall pay for what you have done!"

The werewolf howled into the moon and pounced towards Dracula. Dracula immediately flew up into the air before the werewolf even touched his wings.

"And I am not making the same mistake twice, Gabriel. All I wanted was life! Life for my children! And you destroyed it!" Dracula snarled as he dropped on the ground oppositethe werewolf.The werewolf didn't seem to even care what Dracula was saying.

No use talking to a wolf that does not care what I say... Dracula thought and his mouth curled into an evil grin as he sharply closed his eyes and started to get his will over the werewolf in front of him. The werewolf roared and there was a hint of confusion in the roar. The moon up above was wavering and the clouds were slowly starting to cover the moon.

Dracula still tried to work his will over Van Helsing's werewolf form but couldn't. A shield seemed to be stopping him from seizing over Van Helsing. He snarled furiously, and opened his eyes to see that the werewolf was flying at him.

In Dracula's mind, the werewolf seemed to come right at him, claws extended, fangs bared in slow motion as Dracula quickly flew up into the air, the wind scratching his wings. The werewolf roared angrily as it jumped onto a nearby tree and jumped onto Dracula's wings.

Dracula snarled loudly. The snarl seemed to echo into the area as Dracula ripped away from the werewolf's grip. The werewolf howled as it fell onto the ground. Dark blood still lingered on Dracula's injured wings as Dracula cursed and flew away, towards Castle Frankenstein.

Nemamiah, Anna and Carl entered the Valerious Manor and into the family armoury. Carl felt the familiar warmth of the Valerious Manor, though it felt cold the first time he had entered it with Van Helsing.

"Wow… Amazing!" Anna heard Nemamiah say in awe as she weakly smiled, slowly grabbing a stake from one of the cases.

"This is-" Nemamiah began. "My home," Anna finished.

There was a pause for a moment as Anna continued to equip herself.

"There might be a cure. There should be a cure," Nemamiah spoke and Carl nodded. But somehow Carl doubted that there was an antidote that will save Van Helsing. Have some faith, Carl thought to himself.

"How are we to know that?" Anna choked out and a tear rolled down her cheek. " I have fought with Dracula and his servants for my whole life! If I knew of a cure, I would have cured the people with the werewolf curse, rather than killed them!"

"The Holy Order must do something about it!" Nemamiah shouted.

"They will only order for Van Helsing's death. It will be swift and quick!" Carl responded bitterly. Nemamiah shrugged.

"If death is an option, then so be it. But I would rather have a chance to know my father than let him die!"

"If there is a cure other than death, that is.There may be books that might help Van Helsing overcome the curse though!" Anna shouted, hope springing into her eyes. "Carl, there may be things hidden secretly in the family archives!"

"Yes, I'll have a look!" Carl shouted and ran out of the family armoury, leaving Nemamiah and Anna alone.

"But what are we to do until we find the cure?"

"Find my father when he is not in hiswolf form. The werewolf needs the moon in order to move about. (A/N: I'm not sure if that's right but, oh well!) We can find himwhen he is in human formand lock him up for now until we can find the cure!" Nemamiah answered. Anna looked scared and fear was welling up in her gut for Van Helsing.

"But it might take weeks, months, to find this cure!" Anna started but Nemamiah hushed her. Anna looked with confusion at Nemamiah but he didn't say anything. He looked out of the nearby window and opened it. The moon shined brightly up above and the stars twinkled like human tears. But he wasn't looking at that. As Anna came by his side, she saw an unbelievable sight.

She saw Dracula's huge devilish form fly up into the air and something dark was clinging onto its wings. The thing let go of the Dracula's wings and the two heard Dracula snarl loudly as the thing below howled into the moon.

"Oh my god… We killed him! Van Helsing killed him! Why!" Anna shouted and backed away from the window. She seemed like she could faint at any time but she was still conscious.

"Who? Who are you talking about?" Nemamiah asked, a puzzled expression on his face. "Dracula…!"

A/N: Well, that's it for now! I'm free from all the homework cause I didn't get much of it at school so I'm gonna try to write as much chapters as I could! Oh and thank you for all the reviews I've received from Chapter Three! I love you! (MPPgrl, I proved you wrong! Don't worry, I won't abandon it!) (I know Enforced Evoloution, but I'm not really good at long chapters, I'll try though:)) Please read and review!
