Chapter Nine
The Rescued and Captured
In the dark, murky dunegon, one man was locked in a cage, screaming in agony. The scream echoed through the walls but no one came to see him.
Van Helsing roared and his hands were clawing at the walls, trying to ease the pain. His eyes glowed hungrily and the rage and madness bursting through his veins made him go crazy in the cage. The wounds that were, just now, half healing, was opening again and blood started to soak the bandages.
He desperately wanted the pain to stop, for all the madness to withdrew it from its grip. But the wolf will not let him. It wanted to feed and kill.
He heard a creak from the door and heard footsteps coming his way. Anna? Carl? My son? Van Helsing thought weakly and he felt the transformation beginning to take its shape. He could hear almost everything, feel everything and smell everything. And what bothered him was the smell that was now coming near him. It smelt of rotten flesh.
His body finally stopped and he felt weaker then ever. He collapsed to the ground and triumphed a bit that he had held the madness away from him. He was not going to let himself, the wolf, kill anyone. He wasn't going to let it free.
His drowsy eyes slowly looked to see shoes, high heels, and a beautiful dress that matched them. He looked up, his clouding eyes recognizing the familiar outfit. There stood a vampiress and she was eyeing him with disgust. Her vampire eyes glowed marvelously. Through Van Helsing's eyes, he could see a woman dressed in a brightly dark red dress, with jet black hair and from her lips, fangs started to lengthen.
"Oooh, poor little wolf cub, all alone in this disgusting pit! I should let him go, shouldn't I?" the vampiress taunted him and she smiled cruelly. Van Helsing felt rage boiling in his stomach yet again and pounced onto the bars of the cage. His hands were slowly turning into claws and from his mouth fangs were lengthening like the vampiress's. His eyes were turning feral and he was turning more wolf like than ever.
"My dear, dear instrument of my Master's plan, your going to have to obey your master from now on. Or Master will have to beat you, tame you," the vampiress hissed.
Van Helsing snarled and his human face was starting to look wolfen. He tried to grip onto his human memories but it slipped away so quickly he couldn't recall any of his memories. What he really wanted was blood. That was all he cared about now.
He leaned away from the cage, his claws scratching the walls and swung his head back, howling furiously. The vampiress laughed evilly and her eyes growled hungrily. She looked curiously at Van Helsing and then took out some sort of syringe.
"If you want to live, you'll let me stab THIS!" and at the last word she ripped the bars of the cage easily and flew straight into Van Helsing, who was half transformed. Van Helsing roared furiously and his long fangs bit into the fully grown vampiress's wings, who screamed and stabbed the tip of the sharp syringe needle into Van Helsing, who howled even more loudly. Van Helsing was slowly changing back to his human form and the blood of the vampiress in his mouth washed down his throat , making him sick to his stomach.
The vampiress snarled viciously and then cackled as Van Helsing started to spasm and his eyes started to glaze all over. He was now unable to feel anything because of the numb and cold feeling washing through his body and he was also unable to see anything because white was all he could see from the glaziness.
"You are turning back to a human, you disgusting wolf!" the vampiress hissed triumphantly as her wounds started to heal. Van Helsing started to feel his human feelings come back to him and horrifyingly remembered the vampiress. Unconciousness was trying to take over him and he ripped the empty syringe off of his body. He screamed as he felt sharp claws dig into his chest and realized he was being taken away. NO! his mind screamed in he tried to get away but he couldn't move from the substance in the syringe, which was doing it's work. Slowly he felt himself slip into darkness.
Carl quickly ran down the stairs and stumbled quite a bit. The stairs were long and led him deeper into the room, where it was. There was no light in the bottom so he started to stumble even more. He touched the walls for guidance and he walked down the darkened stairs carefully. Then he felt the stairs stop and realized the room was getting lighter from a burning torch up above him. He quickly looked around and saw that Nemamiah was right. This was the dungeon they were looking for. He hastily looked around the cages and found Anna in one of them, unconcious. She was lying sprawled inside and looked like she was beaten bad.
He searched for keys and found one with lots of it in one keychain. He grabbed it and started to nervously stab the keys one by one into the keyhole of Anna's cage. Most of them didn't fit but there was one that fit in at last. Carl turned it and it clicked. The door of the cage moved and he quickly went in, throwing the keys somewhere near Anna.
"ANNA!" Carl shouted and nudged Anna, who groaned something softly. He nudged her harder and Anna's eyes snapped open furiously. She stood up quickly and looked at Carl.
"Wha-where--- Where are we?" she said as she swept the cobwebs off her clothes. She looked around in disgust. Then she remembered the new bride that knocked her out.
"We need to help Nemamiah, he's in trouble!" Carl shouted and Anna quickly nodded, though confused.
"Carl, what's going on?" Anna spoke as the two quickly climbed up the stairs in the dark. They stumbled together on each other but kept running upwards.
"You were kidnapped by one of Dracula's new brides! Dracula said he wanted to command a trade, you... for Van Helsing! But we don't know why! We came here to rescue you because Van Helsing wanted us to!" Carl answered quickly and pushed the door in front of him. Light washed through the stairway as they saw the bride flying at Nemamiah. Nemamiah quickly glanced over to Carl and Anna's direction and shouted, "RUN!"
Anna shook her head and before the bride could do anything, Anna kicked her hard, making the vampiress lose her balance. The vampiress screamed furiously, and she was thrown to the ground. From the windows the night was creeping through. Suddenly they heard a voice, familiar to Anna and Carl.
"LUCREZIA! JEZANNA!" the voice roared from somewhere near the the vampiress and the vampiress grinned, eyes glowing maliciously. But hate crossed her eyes, especially at Nemamiah's direction.
"Here, Master!" she shouted and she flew towards the voice, looking back at Anna, Nemamiah and Carl one more time, cackling.
Nemamiah, Anna and Carl all turned towards each other nodded. Then the ran for their life.
All of them slipped away from the stairs and the hall and as they crossed through the hall, Anna saw the eggs and it made her shout, "Oh my god!"
At last they ran out of Castle Frankenstein but what they also saw was disbelieving. What they saw was on of the brides holding a man, and man Anna and Carl knew too well for them not to notice. In the vampiress's claws, Van Helsing was hanging in the air unconcious, looking as limp as a fallen leaf.
Nemamiah, Carl and Anna looked at the bride holding Van Helsing in horror as the speck flew right towards the castle with a spine-chilling cackle that echoed through the forest.
