Sorry for not updating, I was busy with Schoolwork and Exams coming in January

However, Happy New Year GUYS! (It's 1st January, 2016 when I wrote this!)

Here the story goes!

Chapter 15 Counter-Planning

'Get in there!' bellowed one of Van Helsing's men as he threw a large brown bag into one of those dark secret dungeons under the Brown Castle. 'And stay quiet!'

The large men in the usual Van Helsing suit strolled away and grunted. Seconds later the brown bag started wriggling and shaking and out came Jonathon and his wife, Mavis Dracula. And finally Macy, who pulled out his ancient grandpa, Bram Stoker.

'Ouch! Ouch! OUUUUUUUU!' screamed Bram in vain. 'My back hurts! My leg aches! And my shoulder is tearing itself into shreds! That's not how you do to elders like me ya know!'

'Here… is it better?' Macy asked as she slapped her grandfather's back, leg and shoulder. CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH it went, as Bram ancient bones cracked back into place.

'Thank you my dear.' Bram thanked.

'What is this place!' Jonathon exclaimed. 'It looks so creepy… and cool! I think I can-'

CREEEEEEAAAAAAAAK!

'What was that!' Jonathon screamed like a girl and wrapped his hands his wife Mavis next to him, who rolled her eyes. Mavis unwrapped his arms slowly and brought herself nearer to the darkness at the far end of the dungeon.

As Mavis approached the darkness, she heard sounds of footsteps. Suddenly, a pair glowing eyes appeared in the darkness which gave Mavis a scream in fear.

ARHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

The dark figure with the glowing eyes also let out a loud cry upon hearing Mavis' shrieks and screams.

After their screams died down, both of them looked at each other slowly…

'Mavis?' the dark figure started quietly.

'Uncle Wayne?' Mavis replied. 'Is that really you?'

'Mavis!' cried the werewolf, who ran forward and the two monsters got into a hug of relief and joy.

'Mavis.' Wayne started. ' Why are you here? Me and everyone, Frank, Griffin and Murray are all here. And who are those?' Wayne continued as he pointed at Macy and Bram.

'It's a long story…' Mavis replied as she wiped off the tears in her eyes. 'Its good to have to here.

Mavis and Johnny then spend the next 20 minutes explaining everything to Wayne, Frank and the other monsters. From their escape from Van Helsing's Clutches to where they met Bram Stoker in the Brown Caste, and how they got caught again by Van Helsing and his men.

'Damn you Van Helsing' grunted Frank the flesh golem, after hearing Mavis' and Johnny's story. 'We have to defeat him…. For Drac, for your Dad.' Fran continued sadly as he looked Mavis.

'We have to!' Mavis cried with determination. She was determined to revenge for her father. 'Now we have everyone. We can plan our counter-attack and defeat Van Helsing!'

'Yeah we need a plan.' Replied Murray. We took a good look at the place when Van Helsing brought us to the dungeons. This is a small and limited place. It shouldn't be hard to find him.'

'But this place is filled with guards, Van Helsing's men!' exclaimed Frank. 'How are we supposed to get to van Helsing when we can't even get out of this dungeon.'

'We need a kind of distraction…' Mavis said as she fell into deep thought, when a great idea suddenly popped up in her brain, she quickly went to her pocket and fished out a bottle of liquid, which was pink in colour. It turned into a delicate purple, and then back to pink again. 'The love potion!'

'What? What love potion?!' Johnny asked, confused. 'What love potion? Where did you get a love potion?'

'Oh sorry Johnny…' Mavis explained apologetically. 'I got it from Helga the witch and I tried to use it on you before…'

'What? You tried to use a love potion on Johnn-' Frank cried in surprise, but was interrupted.

'We'll sort things out later, after we beat up Van Helsing ok?' Mavis said with a cheeky-apologetic grin. 'What we can do is sneak some love potion into Van Helsing's men's drinks during their meals. So when they are in love with each other we can go get Van Helsing without his men protecting him!'

'Sounds like a plan to me!' Griffin cried excitedly.

'But this is just a tiny bottle!' questioned Johnny. ' How are we gonna get a hundred large guys fall in love with each other for a long enough period of time! The potion will probally wear off before we finish off Van Helsing and escape successfully.'

'Well… Helga said 5 drops of potion will have a 24-hour effect…' Mavis replied. ' So I was thinking if every of Van Helsing's men get one drop. It should be enough or something… Besides! We need to try anyways. There is nothing else we could do at the moment.' The others also nodded in agreement.

'But how are we going to get out of the dungeon and sneak the potion into the kitchen!?' Johnny questioned again.

'Don't worry!' a voice suddenly intervened cheerfully. It was old man Bram Stoker. 'I have lived here for nearly half my life! There are several secret passages around this place. I know one that leads to the kitchen! It should be around here…' the old vampire continued as he pressed the bricks and stones of a wall in the dungeon. 'If I am not mistaken, it should be here!'

Before Bram can finish his sentence. He pressed one of the stones and a creeking sound was heard. One part of the wall moved out and moved aside, revealing a dark passageway.

'Here we go!' Bram cried cheerfully.

'Great!' Mavis replied with a big smile plastered on her face. 'Now we'll discuss the whole the plan and let's do this thing!'

Will Mavis' plan work?

Will the gang defeat Van Helsing successfully?

Will they fail and get demolished by Van Helsing and his men?

Find out in the next chapter !
