chapter 20
Dennis stood over the mutilated corpse of Samantha and spat on it. "Rot in hell." He said as went to sit down. He sat there for what felt like forever when Frank suddenly began to wake up. "Mph... D... Dennis?" Frank said waking up. "What happened? Did we win?" He said before seeing the corpse. "Dennis! What... What happened?!" Frank said not knowing this was Samantha. "I killed her... She was Bela's Colonel." Dennis said hiding tears of anger and pain. "Oh... Did we..." Frank began. "Yeah... We won." Dennis said giving him a fake smile. "We did! WOO!" Frank said jumping down the ladder. "Eunice!" He called running to her giving her a big hug. "Oh Frank it was horrible those loud fireworks were gonna make me pop an eardrum!" She said in her usual complaining tone. Dennis looked over and saw Mavis Johnny hugging as they celebrated. Dennis decided to go upstairs and enjoy the peace and quiet of his room while examining the knowledge of all the scrolls he could find about vampires and werewolves. "Dennis." Vlad said knocking on his door. "I have something for you." Vlad looked crestfallen. "What's wrong grandpa Vlad?" Dennis asked seeing his sadness. He handed him an old scroll which he opened. "We only need one." Vlad said as Dennis read it. "If you could sneak into there cave afterwards we might be able to stop this one at a time." Vlad said. Dennis looked at Vlad who looked at him. "I'll do it." Dennis said. Vlad went bat to escort him to his destination. It was long flight that lasted 12 hours. "Does mom and dad know?" Dennis asked. "No, neither does my son, and actually prefer to keep it that way for as long as possible... This is permanent... This one." Vlad said. They landed in front of an old temple that was marked with many different symbols dating from prehistoric, too Egyptian, too Aztec, all the way too present day symbols and the like. "This is your choice... But i feel if it were to be anyone... It should be you." Vlad said. Dennis nodded and went inside. So did Vlad, knowing he shouldn't have to be facing the trials without help. "The first will take you to a time when all there was, was animals." Vlad said. Dennis was suddenly brought through a thick fog and found himself in a forest. "You will know but a taste of the power." Vlad said. Dennis realized now he was hungry, starving, but there was nothing too eat. "You must eat... Get food." He said to him. Dennis saw an elk and felt the desire too sink his teeth into it, he pounced "Gruesome intermission." "What was that?" Dennis said. "You know what it was" Vlad said as the fog cleared. "Next will test your loyalty." He said pointing too a golden mist. Dennis went through this and found himself in the middle of two groups, one was Winnie and his children, and the other was his parents and grandparents. Both were surrounded by predators of many sizes. "DENNIS!" Mavis called. Winnie held her children who began to start crying. Winnie looked at him pleadingly. "I'm sorry mom." Dennis said charging to protect Winnie. He went into bloodlust seeing the animals get angry. He jumped at a lion and tore it apart feeling it's blood run through his fangs, more predators swarmed, but Winnie, and his children could now run away. "Good you passed." Vlad said coming over too examine him. "Slightly dazed i suspect." Vlad said. "No more tests, but a final question from the ruler himself of this temple." Vlad said showing Dennis giant statue. It was of an gruesome being, that seemed too be part of every animals most power feature, holding lion's teeth, claws of a wolf, legs and feet of a cheetah, head of a bull, scales of a lizard, but heart of a human. "DO YOU DESIRE MY POWER!" The statue demanded. "I TRADE POWER FOR POWER!" Dennis looked at him before nodding. There was a bright light that when cleared, the statue now had wings of the bat, and Dennis. "Dennis!" Vlad said coming over too check on him. Once pale skinned and empty of blood, Dennis now was filled with the blood of a wolf, and covered in ginger red fur... He was now a werewolf.
