Chapter 20

The countdown begins...

Van Helsing's footsteps echoed as he ran up the stairs that lead up to the lab. 'It'll be too late by the time I get up there!' he thought to himself as he started to get annoyed.

He then spotted a big hole in the wall that peeked into the cell that Frank was in. 'Time to take the fast way,' he thought as he looked up to see the chain was still going all the way up. Van Helsing then leaped across and grabbed onto the chain. Bats squeaked in fear being startled as he used his werewolf strength to climb up the chain without having to use his feet. 'Ana, be safe,' he thought to himself as he climbed.

Meanwhile Anna and Carl followed Igor as the hunchback lead them to the werewolf cure. "You're too late you know," Igor said as they got closer to the tower room. "What?" Carl asked getting surprised. "The girl, Ana," Igor replied. "You are too late to save her from master," he added before he had a sick smile on her face. "I could hear her screaming last night," he said with a chuckle. Anna glared at Igor as she put the wire cutters in front of his face. "One more sick word out of your filthy mouth and I will cut out more then your tongue, you sick bastard," Anna said with a cold and deadly tone.

Igor's smile Vanished before he decided to keep hi mouth and just lead them to the damn cure. He soon felt relief as he saw the archway to the tower room. "There it is," he said as he pointed at the center of the room where the needle that held the werewolf cure inside an upside down jar-like glass floating inside a clear liquid that seemed to be like water. Igor had started to take a step forward but Anna raised her arm up, gently smacking Igor's chest with the wire cutters. "I'll go first," she said as she looked at him.

Igor softly groaned at that as a response. Anna ignored that remark as she looked at the cure, slowly walking down some small steps that were in the room. Carl had made the mistake of following after Anna, as suddenly Igor kicked Carl in the back knocking the poor monk to the floor.

Anna turned around as she heard Carl's cry and went to him. Igor meanwhile had stepped back and pulled the lever that was there. A sick and evil smile as an iron gate dropped down trapping them inside. He laughed at them as he pointed at them. "Stay as long as you like!" he said to them before he started to walk away. "You tried to get Igor," he said as he walked away. "Igor get you!" he laughed as he slowly disappeared into the darkness of the hallway, his laugh echoing into the room. Carl and Anna only hope that Van Helsing weren't in a trap as they were.

As Anna and Carl got trapped, Ana smiled at Dracula lovingly as she looked at him. He gently caressed her cheek lovingly. "You are so beautiful my love," he said to her. He then brushed her hair away, showing the bite mark that now looked like a hickey as Ana would say. "I don't mind," Ana whispered to him as she caressed his cheek knowing where his eyes were looking at.

He looked at her with his eyes slightly glowing. "If I take too much, tell me to stop," he said softly before leaning to her neck, making her lay down on the lounger as he gently kissed at her neck. "Master!" they both heard Igor shout at them as Dracula was about to bite Ana. "So help me I am going to kill that imp," Ana hissed softly. "I might do that myself," Dracula softly whispered into her ear before he looked at the hunchback that was panting softly. "What is it Igor?" Dracula asked in an angry tone as he glared at Igor. Igor trembled a little as he knew that his master was angry with him. "Well, Van Helsing and the princess, they are here," the hunchback replied with a shaky voice.

A growl rumbled from Dracula as he looked at the now trembling hunchback. "What?" he roared at Igor. Igor got on his knees before them. "Please Master!" he begged Dracula. "I managed to lock the princess and that monk in the other tower!" he added with a fast pace.

Dracula glared at Igor growling with rage. "And what of Van Helsing?" he asked with a hiss. "Where is he?"

"He is on his way to this tower," Igor answered with a soft voice. Dracula screeched in a rage as he started to go to Igor. Ana reached her hand to grasp his arm. "My love," she said in a calming tone. He turned to look at her with glowing eyes, hissing at her softly. She sat up from the lounger and caressed his cheek. "Vlad, there is no need to harm him, just have Igor go back to the tower with Aleera to have some fun," she said to him. Dracula then looked at her with a smirk on his face.

"Good idea my love," he said to her calmed down and relaxed. "Igor, Aleera," he said as he looked at Igor and Aleera who walked forward next to the little man. "Yes, Master?" they both said as they looked at him. "Go and entertain our guests," Dracula told them with a wave of his hand. "What of Van Helsing?" Igor asked Dracula as Aleera flew up and away.

"There is nothing he can do now," Dracula said as he looked towards Ana. "And even if he makes it up here, we will give him a proper welcome, won't we my queen?" Dracula added as he caressed Ana's cheek. Ana smiled at him as she nodded her head.

"Yes, my love, we will," she said as she sat back down on the lounger. Igor had then quickly limped his way to get his electric rod. A sick smile was on the monster's face as Dracula pecked Ana's cheek before telling her that he was going to check on the progress of the preparations. Van Helsing had then came up and out of the hole that lead him into the lab. Making sure he wasn't spotted by any of the dwerger, he snuck between one of the machines looking around in search of Frankenstein or Ana. He then spotted Ana sitting down on the lounger with a happy smile on her face. 'Thank the lord she is alright,' he though with a sigh. He then looked upward to the ceiling of the lab remembering where they did it at Castle Frankenstein. 'Up there,' he thought before he quickly ran to a column and used his werewolf strength to climb up. He then stopped in place as he spotted a dwerger looking at him.

Van Helsing quickly jumped to the platform the little troll was on and bashed him to the column by the window Van Helsing look at the face of it to see it's pale white eyes and pointy teeth as it growled at him. Van Helsing grimaced before he pushed the troll through the window into the thunder storm that had started an hour ago.
