Chapter 5

It was just a few days away.

Ash was standing in the hallway with Dawn and Brock. All the other students were in the library.

The three looked at the door of Drake's office. Ash his father was in there now with 5 other vampires. Vampires of a higher level than the students, but the same as the teachers.

The door squeaked open and the vampire stepped out into the hallway with Drake.

"Dad!" Said Ash, ignoring the other vampires.

Drake put his hand against Ash's back and pushed him a bit forward. "Guys, this is my son Ash."

"The one who made the problem." Said a vampire.

"Ash." Said Drake. He pointed at the vampires. "These are the vampires who will fight; Matis Spike, Erika Hikami, Falkner, Hilda, Hilbert..."

"Some of them are the same age as us, why did you-"

Before Ash could question his father any further a girl with brown hair in a ponytail grabbed his arm and twitched it behind his back.

"Ow, ow, ow, my arm is being broken!" Said Ash.

The girl, named Hilda, tightened her grip. "I am one of the strongest vampires and you act as if someone your own age is as weak as a leaf!"

"You're not, you're not, you're as strong as a leaf!"

"What was that?!"

A snap was heard and Hilda released him. Ash fell back to the ground.

"Geez!" Hilda planted her hands onto her hips. "And that is the son of Dracula?"

"Hilda, be nice." Said Hilbert, a guy with brown hair and simple clothing, with a sigh.

"I am being nice!"

Ash stood up again. "Dad...they will use Misty as their weapon. You've seen how strong she is. There is now way that one of us can easily defeat her."

"We all attack at the same time, Ash." said Drake. "Don't worry, we will defeat them."


Misty was still in her cell. She was sitting on the floor. Her werewolf teeth and tail had come out. She looked at the plate of meat.

I should eat it.

Misty shook her head. No! What was she thinking?! That was meat...human meat...

It looks good.

"No!" Said Misty. "I'm not eating that!"

She closed her eyes. She couldn't ate it...It was bad...

Those two men hurt you.

Misty opened her eyes again. She remembered. Ash took her out and then...two men attacked her. They hurt her and Ash...he saved her by destroying them...by becoming a monster.

Misty looked at the human meat. She could hear her stomach rumble. Maybe a small bite wouldn't hurt...

She slowly crawled toward the plate. She stopped and sat down on her knees. The meat shined with red. She carefully grabbed one small piece with her hand and put it into her mouth. It was...actually better than she thought. She grabbed another piece...and another...and another...

Her eyes changed into a yellow color. She couldn't contain it anymore. The meat felt so good in her mouth...

Her fingers changed into claws. Her whole form changed and soon she was in her werewolf form.

Misty stopped eating and let out a big howl.

At that moment Giovanni walked into the room with Butch and Cassidy behind him.

"Look at that..." Giovanni laughed. He walked to the cell. Misty immediately spotted him. She growled and ran towards him, but smashed into the bars.

"She turned pretty quick." said Cassidy.

"Of course...she is my daughter...now..."

Giovanni turned around to face the two. Behind him was Misty with glowing eyes. She growled at them as if she was ready to bite their heads off. Giovanni had a dark look on his face.

"Let's attack early on."


Ash looked up at the sky. It was evening and raining. Dawn was sitting next to him together with Brock. They were sitting on the roof of the school.

"So...when will the battle begin?" Asked Dawn.

"I think in a few days...I hope Misty is alright..." Whispered Ash.

Brock grinned and slapped him onto his back. "So, Ash, it looks like you have a little crush on her!"

"Who? Misty?" Ash became red and shook his head. "As if...I mean, I kissed her and she is cute, but I don't like her!"

Dawn and Brock laughed. Ash glared at them. Pikachu jumped onto his lap and Ash petted him, but kept his glare onto Dawn and Brock.

"What?" Said Dawn. "You are definitely in love! Just admit it!"

Ash sighed. He closed his eyes for a second and then looked back at Pikachu. "Even if...Even if I care about her...we are from two different worlds. There is no future for us...We are natural enemies."

Dawn went quiet. She looked down. Ash was right.

"You aren't right."

They both looked at Brock who said that.

"Once vampires and werewolves lived in peace, am I correct?" Said Brock.

Ash sighed again. "Yeah, but they didn't get along..."

"I know. But that doesn't mean that vampires and werewolves can try again to live together..."

"Ash!" Drake suddenly appeared behind them.

Ash immediately jumped up. So did his friends. "Dad! What's wrong?"

His father was looking frantically at him.

"Ash...they are...they are already in the forest..."

"Who are?" Asked Dawn.

"The werewolves..."


They immediately ran to the forest. There they were. The werewolves.

Giovanni was standing there in his human form with the others. Behind him was a cage and a certain werewolf was in it.

"Gio!" Yelled Drake as he stormed towards him with the 7 vampires and his son. "We had a deal!"

Giovanni chuckled. "Sorry, but my daughter wanted to transform a little earlier!"

Ash clenched his fists. They were using her as a weapon.

"Transform a little earlier?!" Yelled Drake. "What did you do to her?!"

"Oh, not much...let's just say that she's got a real thirst for vampires now."

The werewolf behind him started to roar loudly. Ash could feel the ground shake and a few branches fell down.

"Well, Drake? Are you ready to start?" Asked Giovanni with a smirk.

Ash turned to his father. "Dad." He whispered. "Let me take her on."

Drake sighed. "Ash, you are too weak..."

"I'm not!" Ash his eyes turned red. His fangs grew out of his mouth. "I can take her...Misty is my problem. Let me take her away from you guys. That way she won't kil you..."

"Okay." Said Drake as he slowly looked back at Giovanni. "Gio! You have broken our deal! But...I'm always up for a fight!"

Drake's eyes turned red and his fangs grew out.

Giovanni laughed. "Fine. Let us begin." He turned into a werewolf within a flash.

The other werewolves and vampires also turned into their true forms. They all roared and ran towards each other. Misty broke out of her cage. She jumped into the mud. Her wild eyes looked around as she tried to find her target between the fighting creatures.

"Hey!" Yelled Ash.

Misty immediately looked at him.

"Yeah you! Think you can catch me, you shit?!"

She roared and charged towards him with lightning speed. Ash immediately ran away as quickly as he could. He ran through the forest away from the battlefield. Behind him he could hear her footsteps. They were very loud. He ran and ran until they were on a part were there was an open field.

He turned around to face her. She stopped and growled dangerously at him.

"So this your true form, hm?" Said Ash.

Rain slowly started to come down. Misty roared at him again, but stayed there, as if she was listening.

"It might be time that I show you my true form..."

Ash looked down at his own hand. He closed his eyes. His fangs started to grow even bigger.

But the werewolf didn't care. She immediately dashed towards him. And when she almost reached him, she was suddenly thrown back by a dark aura. She scraped with her claws against the ground as she slid a bit back. She quickly stood her ground again.

There stood Ash. His eyes were now glowing red. His fangs were a few centimeters longer. He had now some sort of claws instead of hands and two black wings shot out of his back.

Without a word he ran towards the werewolf. Misty jumped towards him too. She bit him, but Ash immediately pushed her away. He stepped closer to her and scratched her across her face. Misty roared angrily. She tackled him down to the ground into the mud.

Ash kicked her away. He growled and dashed towards her again when she was down for a second. But she jumped up again and she bit him into his side. Ash flinched. He jumped back while holding his side. Blood was dripping on the ground.

He didn't mind the pain. He saw Misty slowly coming closer to him. Ash flapped his wings to push the drops of rain away.

Misty roared at him. Ash held his hands up.

"Misty..." He said through his gritted teeth.

She walked closer and closer to him. Ash stood his ground.

"Recognize me..."

She roared and jumped onto him. Ash fell down into the ground with Misty on top of him. She tried to bite him. Ash held his arms in front of him. Misty bit down into his right arm. Blood spilled out, but it didn't break. He growled in pain.

Misty released him. Ash took this as a change. He grabbed her legs and flew up with his wings before she could react. He flew up into the sky while holding her.


Meanwhile the others were busy fighting. Drake fought against Giovanni. The two were of the same strength, so it was almost no use.

Drake jumped away as Giovanni bit at him.

"Drake!" Growled Giovanni.

"Giovanni!" Yelled Drake.

The two ran towards each other again. But they stopped in their tracks when they suddenly heard a loud scream.

"Misty!" Growled Giovanni and he dashed away. The others all stopped fighting too and chased after him.


Ash flew up into the sky. He flew a few times in rounds and then flew back down and crashed into the ground.

A few minutes of silence followed. Ash held her big head with his hands as they lay in the mud with Ash on top.

"Misty..." Whispered Ash.

She growled. Her wild eyes stared into his. Ash kept staring at her. He held the werewolf down by her head.

"I love you."

Misty blinked at him for a few seconds. She stopped growling and looked at him in confusion.

"Yes, I don't kiss slobbering dogs. But...I do love one."

The werewolf suddenly started to roar loudly. White light bursted out of her. She slowly started to transform. Her claws turned into hands, her eyes went back to cerulean and her roar turned into a high girl scream. Before Ash knew it he held her human face into his hands.

Tears appeared into her eyes. She was naked as she fully became human again.

"You mean that?" She asked with in a small voice.

At that moment their fathers and friends arrived, but they didn't notice it.

"I do." Ash put his hands against her back and pulled her into a hug. His wings disappeared and so did his claws. "I love you."

They pulled away out of their hug. Ash cupped her face again with his hands. Misty's heart pounded. With his finger he gently wiped her tears away.

"He loves her?" Snickered Giovanni through his werewolf teeth.

Ash stood up. He took Misty's hand and pulled her up with him. He held her against his chest protectively.

"I do, mr Williams." Said Ash as he looked at Giovanni with a determined look. "And I wish for vampires and werewolves to live together again."

Drake's his eyes widened. He smiled a little in surprise. "Ash..."

"Right...keep dreaming, damn teenager!"

Giovanni dashed towards Ash. Ash pushed Misty out of the way just in time, but he had no time to defend himself. The vampire was thrown against a rock. He screamed in pain when a small piece of rock went through his wound. The werewolf roared and slowly walked towards him.

"You are nothing more than an annoying flee in my path..."

"No!" Misty quickly jumped in front of Ash. She spread her arms out.

"Mistyc, move away from that beast. I need to finish him off."

"Leave him alone!" Yelled Misty. She didn't mind the mud and cold rain against her skin or her lose hair sticking to her face. She only cared about one thing.

"Mistyc..."

"He is my...I love this damn vampire! Don't you touch him!"

"Young lady." Giovanni took a step closer. "You two are to different. There is no way that two species-"

"Drake and you broke up because of mom, right?! But that was ages ago!" Yelled Misty. Tears appeared in her eyes again. "And now we don't live together because of that...and...BECAUSE OF THAT I"M NOT ALLOWED TO LOVE ASH!"

Everyone looked on in silence. Thunder struck through the sky. Giovanni took one step closer, but stopped when Misty's eyes turned yellow.

"I will fight you before you can even touch me."

"Mistyc." Athena suddenly stepped forward. She was still in her human form with clothes on.

"Stay back! Don't touch him!"

"She really does love him." Said Athena. "And we know what that means."

"No! She is my daughter, she can't..." Growled Giovanni.

Athena put her hand onto his head. "Mistyc has grown up. And you know she won't move out of the way..."

Giovanni turned back into his human form. "Athena..."

Misty quickly crouched down by Ash. She gently put her hands against his shoulder.

"Ash..."

He grunted in pain. The piece of rock was embedded in his side.

"I'm going to pull it out, alright?" Whispered Misty.

She gently grabbed the rock. And she pulled it out in one swoop. Ash yelled in pain. Blood was covering his side. His breathing was ragged and rough.

"Shush..." Misty held her hand onto his forehead. She looked at Drake. "Drake, he is burning up. We need to get him to a medic or your son may not live!"

Drake snapped out of his thoughts and ran to his son. He scooped Ash up in his arms.

"Let's go to our nursery. There they will be able to treat his wound! Quickly!"

Two wings shot out of Drake's back and he flew away together with the others. Misty wanted to follow them, but her father stopped her.

"Mystic, stay here." Said Giovanni as he put his hand onto her shoulder. "There is nothing you can do for him."

Misty nodded. She sighed and looked at her mother.

"For now we better go home." Said Athena. "They will surely contact us when the vampire is healed..."

If he gets healed. Thought Misty.
