ShadowSpider Evolution: Year 1 The Sinister Hydra

by ShadowSpider17

Peter and Kitty are finally together, they had their first date, now all they have to do is survive the rest of their crazy lives, but that could be hard with the likes of Magneto, Hydra, the rise of mutant hate groups, not to mention a villain working in the shadows. Will Peter and Kitty survive? Let's find out. Part 3 of my ShadowSpider Evolution series. Peter Parker/Kitty Pryde

10. This Is Halloween Part 5

Disclaimer: I don't own Marvel, if I did then Spider-Man would be less of a soap opera and more of a superhero story, Kitty Pryde would have a solo series (Could call it Kitty Pryde, Kitty, Kitty: The Girl who Walks Through Walls, or Kitty Pryde: The Girl Who Walks Through Walls), Peter Parker and Kitty Pryde would also get together in every universe. They would date, get engaged, get married, and have a family, whether they continue the hero life is up to them.

Question: Been thinking of making a Discord Server based on ShadowSpider for fans of this series and the pairing in general to come and talk about it. You know to trade story ideas, give information about where any stories about this couple is located. Maybe this server will inspire people to write about this couple more, anyway, tell me what you all think. Thank you.

This is Part 5, Part 6 will certainly be the final part to this, I certainly hope that you all have enjoyed this so far.

Hope you enjoy the chapter. Please leave a review, till then
Hope You Survive The Experience!

Chapter 10: This Is Halloween Part 5

Transylvania, Castle Dracula, Throne Room

Inside the throne room is Dracula sitting down, waiting for his son. He didn't have to wait long, because the doors to his throne room opened and in entered Janus with some of his minions behind him. Janus walked over to his father's throne and kneels before him in respect, "Father, I have returned from the Sanctum Sanctorum," Janus said

"Did you get the tablets," Dracula said

Janus stood up from the ground, "Yes, we did," he said, Janus then gestured for two of his minions to approach, once they approached, they bowed to their king, staying in their position, faces looking at the ground, they held out their arms, and in their hands the tablets.

Dracula gets up from his chair and walks down to the vampires, he then looked at the tablets and smirked, "Excellent job Janus," he congratulated his son, Dracula then looked at the vampires, "Take these to the chamber where they will be safe," he ordered, the two vampires immediately left the throne room to do as ordered. Dracula then turned to his son, "So, everything went according to plan?"

In response Janus smirked in triumph and sadistic glee, "Yes it did, it all went exactly how I wanted it," he said

"And where is she now," Dracula asked

"She's nearly here," Janus answered

Outside Castle Dracula

A blue blur approaches Castle Dracula, just outside its gates, when the blur was in front of the entrance it stopped, the blur is then shown to be Kitty, "Whoa," Kitty said as she tried to steady herself, "How does Pietro do this every day?" After she steadies herself, Kitty takes the time to look around where she was, the first thing she noticed was that it was dark, not a shred of daylight around, and mist was covering the area. The next thing was that she was surrounded by gravestones and caskets, "Well this is just creepy." Just then trails of black mist come speeding toward Kitty, they surrounded her, and then formed into eight vampires, all looking at her in hostility. Kitty was immediately on guard, waiting for the vampires to attack, "You must be the welcoming committee. It's ok, your boss sent me, well not your boss, Dracula, boss. But your boss, Janus boss."

Just then the vampires charged Kitty in blurs. At least that is what it would look like to the average person, but Kitty was now enhanced with the enzymes that are now transforming her, her senses already heightening making them much clearer to her, which is why she was able to see the first vampire coming, it swiped its claws at her, but Kitty easily dodged the swipe, then with one swift and accurate chop to the neck, the vampire's head was sliced off making it turn to ash.

Two other vampires then rushed her and thrusted their claws for a double impalement. Kitty realizes that she could simply phase but decides on the more fun approach, with that she is able to grab the claws and redirect them, both vampires being sent to other directions, Kitty then speeds to the second vampire and kicked it across the face so hard that its head was on the other side of its shoulders.

Kitty then dodged a charge from the fourth vampire, she then elbowed it hard in the nose crushing it, making the vampire scream in pain, Kitty then takes the vampire's head and smashed it on her knee, making it split open, blood coming out, and onto her knee. Kitty then throws the vampire to the ground; it disappears in mist. A noise behind her gets Kitty's attention, she immediately phases and a claw went through her chest, she then turns around and faces the third vampire. Making her foot tangible Kitty roundhouse kicks the vampire across the face, she then thrusts her arm through the vampire and when it comes out from the other side, Kitty has its heart in her hands. The vampire's eyes are wide, and Kitty gives a cruel smirk, "Now you know how it's done," she said, Kitty then pulls her arm back and the vampire falls to the ground and turns to ash, Kitty looks at the heart in her hand for a moment then tosses it away like trash.

Just then Kitty notices two vampires in their normal form on both sides of her, "Really boys? Didn't you learn from your friends mistake," Kitty said, just then two arms are wrapped around Kitty trapping her arms.

"Oh, we did. This however will work," a male vampire said, just then the two vampires charge Kitty, their intent to kill her.

Kitty, however, was calm, because just as the vampires were an inch away from her and the vampire two things happened. The vampire behind her jumped away, and Kitty phased herself through the attacks. But it was too late for the other two to stop, the vampire on the right slashed the left across the chest wounding him. The right vampire wasn't so lucky because he had his head sliced off turning him to ash.

"WHAT," the vampire who had held Kitty said.

Just then a blue blur appeared in front of him and gave him a hard punch in the stomach making him gasp in pain, "Intangibility, gotta love it," Kitty said, she then thrusted her hand through his head, and he disappeared. Kitty then speeds to the other vampire punches it in the face, kicks it in the stomach, she then roundhouse kicks it across the face making it fall, after that she steps on the head crushing it, and turning him to ash. Finally, she turned to the final vampire, a woman in a white dirtied dress, they both stood there, the woman looked at Kitty cautiously while Kitty looked at her in amusement. Kitty then smirked and charged the woman, making the woman charge her. When they met in the middle the woman swiped at Kitty, the transforming heroine caught the arm, she then thrusted her hand out piercing the woman's chest making her gasp in pain, then with her other hand, Kitty grabbed her throat tightly and slammed her down the ground, she then picked the woman up and looked at her in the face, her red eyes looking in Kitty's pale-red eyes.

"Please, don't," the woman begged

"Oh, shut up," Kitty said, she then threw the woman at a tree branch, the branch piercing the woman through her stomach. The woman looked at Kitty in fear, but Kitty just smirked, "Bye bye," she said giving a little wave. Kitty then watches as the woman turns to ash. Just then Kitty hears clapping, she turned to where the clapping was coming from and sees the castle door open and out comes Janus.

"Excellent job Katerina," Janus said as he clapped, approaching Kitty.

Kitty watches as Janus approaches her, "Nice country you got here, ran through some ghost town, really creepy, Welcome party wasn't what I'd expect it to be though. Tell me, do you give this treatment to all your fiancés or is it just me," she asked

"Just a test to see how far you've come along," Janus answered

Kitty raised an eyebrow, "Did I pass," she asked

Janus grabbed Kitty chin and smirked at her, "With flying colors," he said, he then offered his hand to Kitty, "Shall we Katerina?"

Kitty looked at the hand for a moment, she then took the hand, "Let's," Kitty said as she allowed Janus to lead her in the castle.

Inside Castle Dracula

Once they enter the castle one of the things that Kitty takes note of is just how dark it is, the only things that are lighting the halls are torches on the walls, "Come, follow me and I will show you to your room," Janus said as he led Kitty through the castle. As they walked Kitty took note of all the halls and doors there were, she also took note of the humans that passed by, each of them having a look of misery on their face, and when they see her and Janus, they show fear, which they both find amusing. Eventually they came upon a doorway, once Janus opened it, a stairway was shown. Janus allowed Kitty to go first, he was chivalrous she'll give him that, probably has to do with the era of time he grew up. Janus then led Kitty up the stairs until they came upon the third floor, Janus once again opened the door and allowed Kitty through. Janus then led Kitty, and as they walked Kitty noticed more humans walking down the halls.

"What are humans doing here with vampires, and still alive? Shouldn't you know, be feeding on them," Kitty asked making some of the human's tense.

"Humans make the perfect slaves, put just the right amount of fear in them, and they'll do anything," Janus answered

"Believe me, I know what humans are capable of when they are afraid," Kitty said

"In their case, they perform well, then they live another day. They perform poorly and there will be punishments," Janus said, they then came upon a closed door, "This room is yours, I kept it just the way you left it. The only thing that changed was the bedding, only the best for my queen," Janus then opened the door.

Kitty was greeted by a spacious room bigger than the one she had at the institute. It had hard wood floors with a big red circular carpet in the middle of the room, there is a window with dark-blue curtains closed across from her on the other side of the room, there was a desk with a chair to the right of the window, a vanity to the left of it, a canopy bed in the middle of the left wall, its wooden headboards against the wall, the bed itself had a king size mattress, the curtains and canopy being blue, it had a bunch of pillows and blue covering. On the right wall in a closet, next to it is a wardrobe cabinet, a full body mirror a few feet away, on the other wall is the dresser with some paintings, a music player. Probably one of the biggest things that Kitty noticed is that there is a big painting of someone who looked exactly like her wearing a navy dress, she was sitting on a stool, her back straight, hands resting on her knees, and she was smiling. Kitty looked at it, surprised, well she can see why this whacko thinks that she is this girl, if anyone were to see this, she could easily say that this is a painting of herself and they would believe her.

"Do you like it," Janus asked Kitty as he stepped next to her, "I had it painted after your passing, in honor of you, my love."

Just then two servant girls approached them, getting their attention, "Milord," the first servant girl said bowing.

"What is it," Janus growled

"We have done as you asked, we have set out the clothes for our lady," the first servant girl said, as she looked at Kitty and gestured to the clothes laid out on the bed.

"You tell me something that was obvious, you would dare waste my time," Janus growled at the woman who cowered in fear,

"Please forgive me milord, I thought," the first servant girl said

"I don't care what you think, this cannot be tolerated," Janus said, he then snapped his fingers and two vampires appeared in black mist, "Take her, and feed her to the rest."

"No, NO, PLEASE DON'T," the woman begged as the vampires grabbed her arms and started dragging her away, but just as they are passing the two, the woman grabs Kitty's sleeve, "PLEASE, PLEASE HELP ME, SAVE ME."

Seeing the woman terrified made Kitty give an uncertain look, she starts to reach out to the woman, grabbing her hand, making the woman smile. However, as quickly as the look appeared it vanished, Kitty then crushed the woman's hand in her fist making the woman cry out in pain.

"Never, touch me," Kitty said once she released the woman, she then watched as the woman was dragged away kicking and screaming, trying to escape but is unable to. Kitty looked at the corner of her eyes and sees the other woman looking on in horror, "Got something to say," Kitty said making the woman straighten up and look at her, "Maybe you would like to join your friend."

"No, no please milady, I will serve you faithfully. Please, don't send me there," the second woman said

"Heh, good," Kitty said making Janus smirk at how cruel Kitty has become.

"Leave us," Janus said, bowing to Kitty and Janus both, the second woman then leaves the room. Once the woman left Janus moved quickly, he grabbed Kitty, and roughly pulled her into a kiss. Kitty herself returned the kiss with fever. Janus picked Kitty up by her butt making her moan, he then slammed her against the wall making her grunt. As they continue to kiss Kitty runs her hands through Janus's hair. Janus breaks the kiss and immediately goes to Kitty's neck, biting it, licking it, sucking it, but never kissing it, either way the sensations that Kitty feels makes her moan in pleasure. To really up the ante, Kitty starts to grind her hips with Janus's making them both moan in pleasure. The grinding must have really done something because Janus squeezed Kitty's butt which made her close her eyes and give a load shriek of pleasure. Then before Kitty knew it, Janus had moved to the bed, he then threw her on the bed making her bounce. Janus then crawled on the bed to Kitty very slowly, as if he was a viper ready to pounce on his prey, and Kitty is his prey. Janus was finally on top of Kitty; he then roughly kissed her which she returned. Janus then cupped her breast making her gasp but moan. Janus then starts to massage her breast, and his other hand going to her butt and squeezing it making Kitty break the kiss and give a loud moan. Janus just smirked as he had Katerina beneath him moaning, and writhing in pleasure, and this is pleasure that he is giving her not Petrus, him. Janus then thrusts his hips hard making Kitty gasp, Janus continues to do this making Kitty moan all the while. It's obvious to him, how much she enjoys what he is doing, "I remember everything that you liked Katerina. Every grope," Janus said as he squeezed Kitty's butt making her moan, "The amount of strength needed for a pinch," Janus then pinched Kitty's nipple making her shriek, "And every thrust," with that he gave a hard thrust making Kitty scream. Janus then started to thrust against Kitty harder and harder making her scream louder and louder, "DO YOU LIKE…THIS KATERINA…WELL DO YOU…LIKE THIS…LIKE HOW I'M…TREATING YOU…WHAT I'M…DOING TO YOU…," Janus demanded as he continued to thrust his hips moving Kitty and the bed back-and-forth. "WELL…ANSWER ME…ANSWER ME."

"YES, YES, I LIKE IT, I LOVE IT SO MUCH, PLEASE KEEP GOING PLEASE, I'M BEGGING YOU," Kitty answered

"YES…YOU ARE MINE…I OWN YOU…AND NOW I WILL…TAKE WHAT IS…RIGHTFULLY MINE," Janus said, he then grabbed Kitty's suit and tore off the top half.

Her top tearing got her attention, "What," she said, she then noticed that her black laced bra was showing, she then looked up at Janus and saw a look in his eyes, that she did not like. "Wait," she said grunting.

"I've waited long enough," Janus said getting ready to tear off more of Kitty's suit, but she wasn't gonna let that happen, so quickly Kitty phased through the bed making Janus's hands grip the covers, "WHAT!"

Just then Kitty phases back up just a few feet away from the bed, "Ah man, look what you did to my suit," she said as she looked at the suit that she was wearing, the top half of the suit was completely torn to shred thanks to Janus.

"Katerina," Janus growled in annoyance

Kitty looked at Janus then, "Look buddy, you want to fool around. Fine, I'm cool with that, but if you think that I am gonna give you my virginity, then you have another thing coming. You want that then you need to put a ring on me," she said making Janus growl in frustration, "Don't you growl at me. We're getting married tonight, right? I'm sure you can wait a couple more hours. And besides," Kitty said her smile becoming seductive at the last part, "The more we wait, the more eager we become, and the better it will be. Trust me, I can't wait to have you thrusting inside me with that big cock. Much bigger than Petrus's," she said, Kitty immediately got the response that she was looking for when Janus smirked in satisfaction, he then got off the bed stood up and walked over to Kitty. Janus then pinched her chin.

"You really are mine, once again," Janus said

"Was there any doubt," Kitty responded smiling at Janus.

Janus once again looks at Kitty with satisfaction, as if he had just gained some kind of trophy, "Soon Katerina, soon everything will be as it should be," Janus said, he then leaned down and kissed Kitty's lips, once he broke away, Janus gave a dark and lustful smirk, "I must go and help prepare, but I'll be back Katerina, and I'll do as you say. But that doesn't mean that once I'm back I won't make you scream my name." Janus then left the room, closing the door behind him.

Waiting till she could no longer hear Janus's footsteps, Kitty sighed in relief, "Glad I was able to talk my way out of that one," Kitty then looked at the painting on the wall of a girl who is identical to her, "She does look like me," Kitty commented, she then laughed, "He is so convinced that I'm you, he is blinded of the treachery that is in front of him. All I have to do is keep stroking his ego and keep him thinking that I'm you and he'll stay blind. I must admit that was pretty fun, too bad for you Janus, you aren't the one I want. He would be so much better," Kitty then walked over to the bed, in front of her, the clothing laid out for her, "You're right Janus, when all of this is over, everything will be as it should be," Kitty then strips herself of her torn costume and puts on the dress. Once on, Kitty is now shown to be wearing a black ROMWE goth, crisscross front split thigh halter neck flare sleeve dress with black high heels. "I will be ruling the vampires, but you won't be by my side," Kitty said, she then walked to the full body mirror and looked herself over, admiring herself. "No someone else will be, someone more fitting, better in every way. You Janus, you will be dead, while Peter will be my king, we will rule the vampires, the world, and we will be together for all eternity, just like it should be." Kitty then turned to a desk, and walked over to it, she opened a drawer and found an old book, she opened the book and skimmed through the page, "It's a diary." Interested Kitty decides to read an entry before Janus comes back, even though they're not gonna sleep together, he is certainly eager to show his betterment over Peter in other ways. Kitty sighed and rolled her eyes, she'll just have to do what she did this time, and that's imagine that it is her true love doing that to her. Of course that is hard considering Peter is certainly bigger. Kitty smirked as she thought that that would certainly drive Janus mad. After that thought Kitty gets to reading.

Dear diary,

Flashback – February 5, 1605

{Katerina's Narration: It is the 5th of February, earlier this night I was strolling through the path, enjoying the nature that surrounds me}

In the woods Katerina was walking through the trail that she normally walks down, as she walked, she looked at the forest and the night sky, it was just all so peaceful and beautiful. This is certainly something that she needed after an argument that she had with her father. He was setting her up with an arranged marriage, she of course refuse, she couldn't marry a man for anything other than love. That, however, got her and her father arguing which resulted in her father leaving with her mother following him, hoping to smooth things out like she usually does.

Katerina looked and saw an owl on a tree branch, she smiled as it hooed. Katerina touches the bark of a tree feeling its rough texture. She then came upon the river, and much to her surprise Katerina sees a wounded, unconscious man on the ground, "OH MY," she said as she rushed over to the man, once by his side, she crouched down, "What happened to you," she said as she turned the man over on his back. Once she could see his face, Katerina was struck by how handsome he was, those thoughts were quickly pushed away when she saw the extent of his injuries. What in the world has this man been doing that would get him injured so bad? If she leaves this man out here, he'll certainly die, "I can't let that happen," Katerina said, she looked at the man, "I'm sorry for any discomfort or pain I may cause you, but this is to keep you alive." Katerina then put the man's arm around her shoulders and grunted as she lifted him off the ground, "Don't worry, I'll get you to my home and I will take care of you," she said, Katerina then started to walk them to her house, grunting, "Wow, you're heavy," she commented as she continued trudging.

Back To The Present

I took him to my home. He is resting on my bed, still unconscious, I don't know what happened to him. He might
be a soldier who was fighting in a battle, oh I hope that isn't the case, cause then whoever he ran from
could come looking for him, and may find him here. Unless they think that he passed, or he could be a
traveler who just had a run in with some wild animals. I suppose I'll find out, when he wakes up.
I should go, the cloth on the stranger's head is probably dry now, I must resoak it.
Farewell, Katerina.

"So, this is Katerina's diary," Kitty stated, she then looked at the painting again, "What do you say, we get to know each other a bit, shall we," she said, Kitty then walked to the bed and lied down, her back against the pillows, reading.

Sanctum Sanctorum

In the Sanctum Sanctorum, the proud home, and headquarters of Dr. Strange was now a mess, it was worse than a mess, one could call it a massacre with how many dead bodies that were lying around, all varying ages, from as young as 12 and others as old as 60 perhaps older. Both students and teachers, dead, killed by the vampire menace who attacked these sacred walls. However, this is only possible because of one person, someone who was considered an ally, friend, and girlfriend, but now because of the prince of vampires she is now their enemy. They were played, they all knew it, and now they are defeated, the only thing that they can do now is treat the wounded and clear the bodies for burial.

Right now, Peter who has his arms resting on his knees, mask in his hand, not even bothering to put it on. Honestly after everything that has happened, he doesn't care who knows his secret identity, the only thing that he can think of is everything that has happened. He can't get her out of his mind, Kitty. He just can't believe it, Kitty, Kitkat, the love of his life is a vampire, and now she is with that stalker of hers. Doing…he doesn't know and doesn't want to know. Peter then thinks of the kiss that she had with the guy right in front of him, and she didn't even care. She's gone, the woman he loves is gone, Peter has never felt so defeated in his life.

Not too far away Alex and Mason are sitting down as well, both waiting for their turn for treatment. Alex was offered immediate treatment, but she refused, saying that there were others in far worse shape than her. Although her hand does hurt like hell, she'll tough it out. "I just can't believe this happened," Alex said still in a state of shock.

Mason wrapped his arm around Alex, "I know love, these kind of things though. They come out of nowhere. We just never see it coming," Mason said

Alex then looked at Peter, "Peter Parker, intern to Tony Stark, on a regular day, I'd be jumping for joy, excided that I know who the elusive Spider-Man is behind the mask. But honestly, I don't give a damn, I can't imagine what he is going through. His own girlfriend, being one of the bad guys, betraying us.

"There was…," Mason said but was cut off by Alex's glare. Right not the time to be discussing what Peter and Kitty's relationship was.

Alex sighed, "I never thought that I would see the day where Shadowcat would be evil," she said

"That's the thing about vampires," a voice said getting Alex and Mason's attention, they then see Dr. Strange approach them, "When a person is bitten the enzymes that are inserted change them, they take everything that is good in the person and turns them bad, all the light that is within replaced by darkness. They become a twisted version of the person that they once were. In other words, they take away their humanity," Dr. Strange explained, he then held out his hand, "Hand."

Alex shook her head, "I can wait, there are others who need help more than I do," she said

"Yes, and those others are being treated by highly skilled medics, now, give me your hand," Dr. Strange said, with a defeated sigh Alex placed her hand on Strange's, he then put his other hand on top of hers making her wince. Dr. Strange took a deep breath and said a spell, just then a light-green light shone in between Strange's hands and engulfed Alex's broken hand. Alex then feels as her bones mended and healed; the pain slowly fades until she doesn't feel it anymore. Finally, the light receded and Dr. Strange released Alex's hand.

Alex pulled her hand away and looked at it, "Wow," Alex said as she admired her fixed hand and moved it a bit to test it.

Dr. Strange smiled, "It doesn't matter what uniform I wear, I will first and foremost be a doctor," he said as he watched Alex look at her hands, "We're gonna need you at full strength, for when we go."

"Go? Go where," Alex asked confused

"To Transylvania, we can still stop the ceremony," Dr. Strange explained

Alex laughed, "You're kidding right," she asked, but once she saw the straight face she knew that he was serious, Alex's face then got straight, "Are you out of your mind? After what they did here, after they beat us. We were lucky that they didn't kill us."

"Alex look," Mason said but Alex interrupted him.

"You can't seriously be thinking of going," Alex said as she looked at Mason like he's crazy.

"I have to go," Mason said and immediately Alex got up.

"I can't believe this," Alex said

Dr. Strange then stood up to face Alex, "It must be done Alex," he said

"NO, what must be done is surviving that is what must be done. But you all, you're all going on a suicide mission. YOU'RE ALL GONNA DIE," Alex said, she then stormed off on her own.

"ALEX WAIT," Mason said, preparing to go after her.

"Leave her be," Dr. Strange said stopping Mason.

"I've never seen her like that before," Mason said as he watched Alex storm away. In all the years that he's known Alex, he's never seen her so helpless, so vulnerable, so scared.

"She's been through a traumatic experience; it only makes sense that this is how she'd act. Give her time," Dr. Strange said with that he went off to his duties.

With Jack and Nina, the father and daughter duo were sitting down while Nina was treating her injured father who was squirming, "Will you stop squirming, you're making this hard," Nina said

"Will you stop trying to treat me, I told you that I'm fine. Besides, we need to regroup and get ready, because of Shadowcat, they have the last two pieces of the tablet now," Jack who had reverted back to his human form out of exhaustion said

"HEY," Nina snapped getting Jack's attention on her, "Don't you dare blame this on her. You have no idea what it's like to go through that," Nina defended

Jack sighed, "But you do," he said

"I do, I went through the exact same thing she did, or have you forgotten? Have you forgotten how cruel I was, how many people I killed, and enjoyed it. Have you forgotten how long it took you to help me remember my humanity. I remember, and I'm not gonna let that happen to her," Nina said

"There's no saving her Nina, the only way the transformation will stop is if the vampire who bit her releases her, and Janus looked quite happy having her by his side," Jack said

"You've been away for a long time Jack, things…things have changed," Nina said getting a questioning look from her father.

With the wolf pack they were all still in their wolf forms standing side-by-side watching on as Dr. Voodoo said a spell that wrapped Marcus's body in wrapping, once that is done Dr. Voodoo approaches the pack, "These wrappings will preserve the body until it can be properly transferred. Till then we have a holding place to put it, I understand because you are his Alpha we must ask for your permission to place him there," Dr. Voodoo said

Were-Antonio nodded, "Only on the condition that I know where he is. Dead or alive, he is part of my pack, and I take care of my pack. I failed him in life, the least I can do is get him home to his family safely," Were-Antonio said

Dr. Voodoo nodded, "If you follow me, I'll show you to where he will be stored," he said, getting a nod from Were-Antonio.

Were-Antonio looked at the rest of his pack, "Stay here, I'll be right back," he said, with that Were-Antonio followed Dr. Voodoo.

"I still can't believe that Marcus is gone," Were-Adrian said sighing in sadness.

Were-Johnathan growled, "It's all that bitch Shadowcat's fault, she's the reason why Marcus is dead in the first place," Were-Johnathan said

"That's enough Johnathan, you know that girl is as much a victim as anyone in this," Were-Jeffery said

"A VICTIM! LOOK AROUND YOU JEFFERY, SHE KILLED EACH OF THESE PEOPLE! WHEN SHE INVITED THE VAMPIRES, SHE BECAME RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR DEATHS," Were-Johnathan said

"You know that's not true; it was the bite that changed her, it was the vampire that changed her. None of this was her fault," Were-Jeffery said

"The next time I see her, I'm gonna kill her," Were-Johnathan said

"She's not a vampire yet Johnathan, she can still be saved," Were-Adrian said

"I don't care, someone must pay for this, and that someone will be her," Were-Johnathan said, he then walked away from his packmates.

With Blade and Elsa, they were standing nearby where Peter was talking, "This is all my fault Blade," Elsa said as she watched Peter in his depressed state.

"Don't say that. This was none of your fault," Blade said

Elsa snapped her head at Blade, "THEN WHOSE FAULT WAS IT BLADE, BECAUSE IT CERTAINLY WASN'T HER'S. I WAS ASSIGNED AS KITTY'S PARTNER BECAUSE I HAD THE EXPERIENCE, AND KNOWLEDGE, BECAUSE I KNEW WHAT WE WERE GETTING INTO, BECAUSE I HAD A BETTER CHANCE OF PROTECTING HER. WELL, LOOK AROUND BLADE, I DIDN'T PROTECT HER, I LET MYSELF GET KNOCKED OUT AND LEFT KITTY ALONE TO FACE THAT MADMAN, AND HE BIT HER. HE BIT HER, AND NOW HE HAS HER, AND BECAUSE OF THAT THIS HAPPENS. I failed Blade, I failed everyone, I failed you, I failed Strange, the Howling Commandos, these students and teachers, the world, Peter, but most of all I failed Kitty, I couldn't protect her," Elsa said as she closed her eyes.

"You're right, you were knocked out and left Kitty alone, you should have known better, and because of it, Kitty was bitten. But this," Blade said gesturing at the destruction around them, "This isn't your fault, this is all Janus. Because one way or another, he would have found a way in. We thought we were ready for them, but we clearly underestimated them. Even if Kitty wasn't bitten, they would have come up with some other plan to get in here. They're that conniving. You want to blame yourself for being knocked out, fine blame yourself. You want to blame yourself over Kitty, go ahead, but don't go blaming yourself for this. This would have happened, no matter what." With that Blade walked away from Elsa and over to Peter, "Hey Parker, how, are you holding?" Blade didn't get an answer from Peter, only silence, "Right dumb question, listen we can't give up, we need to regroup and plan our next move."

Peter suddenly got up and faced Blade, "No," he said, shaking his head, "It's over." With that Peter walked away from Blade to be alone and grieve the loss of his love.

Just then Dr. Strange stepped next to Blade, "Peter's taking this hard," Dr. Strange said

"He just lost his girlfriend; I don't blame him. Thing is, I'm not sure we can win this without him," Blade said

"Losing someone to vampirism is a hard thing to process, especially when the chances of getting them back are so low," Dr. Strange said

Blade then looked at Dr. Strange, "Those chances are a lot higher than you think Strange," he said

"Hm, give Peter some time before you approach him again," Dr. Strange said as he then made a portal, "I'll be right back."

"Where are you going," Blade asked

"To get some help," Dr. Strange said, he then stepped in the portal, and the portal closed. Blade simply sighed, but decided to do what Dr. Strange said, and with that he walked away to see how everything is going. He'll talk to Peter again later.

Outside Castle Dracula

Janus was walking around the ceremonial grounds watching as the vampires and humans were all working and setting everything up. So far, there doesn't seem to be any screw ups, everyone is doing their jobs. Just as he is walking by, he catches sight of a familiar vampire, a female vampire in her regular form, "Andria," Janus said getting the vampire's attention.

"Janus," Andria said

"Where is my father, I thought that he was supposed to be here," Janus asked

"He's thirty yards from here, getting the potion ready for the ceremony. He's almost done with the enchantments," Andria said

"Thank you, Andria," Janus said, with that Janus walked to where his father was, it didn't take him long to find his father, it was easy with the dark aura radiating. Once he was there, he could see his father in front of a giant cauldron, his arms spread, and he was casting a spell. Janus just stood there for a moment, he could do it right now, kill his father, but that isn't how he wants it to happen, no he wants to look his father in the eyes when he kills him. Plus, his father knows the preparation of the spell. With him setting everything up Janus has no doubt that things would go perfectly. Dracula must have sensed his presence because he lowered his arms and stopped his casting.

"Janus," Dracula said

"Father, everything is running smoothly, there have been no mistakes," Janus said

"Great, everything is going according to plan," Dracula said

"And the wedding," Janus asked

"Also going as planned, don't worry by midnight tonight you will have your wife," Dracula said getting a smirk from Janus, "Now leave me, I am nearly finished."

"Of course, father," Janus said with that he turned around and headed back in the castle.

In Castle Dracula, Kitty's Room

Kitty who was still lying in bed was still reading Katerina's diary, Dear diary,

Flashback – October 20, 1605

{Katerina's Narration: It is the 20th of October, it has been eight months since that day, the day when I first met Janus, three months since I asked him why we must always be apart, why must I wait so long to see him again, and it has only been three days since Janus told me why. It has been three days since I discovered that Janus is a vampire, is King Dracula's son, and the reason why he is gone so long is because of the raids and purges. I do not hate him though, I cannot, because if Janus were to refuse then King Dracula would kill him. To kill his own son, King Dracula truly is a cruel man. It has also been three days since Janus asked me to leave with him. I said I would only do so if my parents would agree, Janus has been trying to convince my father ever since, but he refuses.}

In Katerina's home stands Katerina, Janus by her side, her father, and her mother, "NO, I said no, you will not be going off with this man," Katerina's father said

"But father I don't understands, why can't I," Katerina said

"Katerina, I am close to getting the Westchesters to agree to allow you to marry their son," Katerina's father said

"I don't want to marry Aaron Westchester," Katerina rejected

"I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT MY OWN DAUGHTER WOULD ACT THIS WAY," Katerina's father exclaimed, "The Westchesters are a very wealthy family, do you know what I had to do to get them to think about it?"

"I don't care about wealth; I don't need that. I need love and Janus loves me, and I love him," Katerina said

"Naïve child, you know nothing of the world," Katerina's father said

"If I may sir," Janus said, interrupting, "Anything that the Westchesters can give Katerina, I can give her more."

"I don't care," Katerina's father said, he then walked up to Janus, "Listen here you, I don't like you. Something about you is fowl, and I don't want you near my daughter."

"FATHER," Katerina exclaimed upset at her father.

"Now get out of my home," Katerina's father ordered

Janus stared at Katerina's father for a moment, it looked like he was ready to do something, but he stops himself, he then starts to walk away and to the door.

"JANUS," Katerina said running toward Janus catching him just as he opened the door, she looked at him desperately, begging him not to go.

"Don't worry Katerina, I'm not giving up. I'll be back," Janus said, he then stepped out of the house and closed the door.

Once Janus was gone, Katerina turned toward her parents, her father in particular, "WHY? WHY WON'T YOU LET US BE TOGETHER?"

"I am protecting you Katerina. He is evil Katerina, but you are blind by it. I am trying to protect you," Katerina's father said

"EVIL, THERE IS NOTHING EVIL ABOUT JANUS. HE IS AN INCREBIBLE AND NOBLE MAN, IF YOU WOULD JUST GET TO KNOW HIM," Katerina said

"This discussion is over, now go wash up for supper," Katerina's father said, Katerina stood there though staring at her father in frustration, "Now Katerina," Katerina's father commanded. Katerina stared for another moment, she then stormed away, as she left, she could hear an exhausted sigh from her father.

{Katerina's Narration: Dear Diary, it is the 5th of November, it has been two weeks since everything changed for me.}

October 22, 1605

Two days have passed since the altercation between Janus, Katerina, and her parents. Currently Katerina was tending to the vegetable garden that her family grows, she wasn't paying much attention though, her mind being on Janus. She wonders where he is now. He said that he wouldn't give up, and she has yet to see him. Is he gone? Has King Dracula sent him somewhere? But he normally tells her when he leaves. Has he given up on her, on them, believing that the trouble simply isn't worth it? Immediately Katerina shook her head, no Janus hadn't given up, he wouldn't, he loves her, that itself is enough of a reason to keep trying. Right? She wonders where her parents are, they should have been here by now. They were just heading to town to the market, it shouldn't have taken them that long.

Katerina who was pulling out some carrots was pulled out of her thoughts when she heard someone calling her name, turning her head, Katerina runs around the house to the front, to see one of the towns people, a girl named Jen, she and Katerina are the same age. Jen has blond hair, blue eyes, she is 5'6, and is wearing a puritan dress. "Jen," Katerina said as Jen approached her, "What is wrong? Are you ok," Katerina said as she goes to check on the girl.

"Katerina, something has happened to your parents," Jen said

"My parents? What's happened," Katerina said anxiously

Before Jen could continue, they were interrupted, "Katerina," a male voice said getting the two women attention. They turn to see Janus walking over to them.

"Janus," Katerina said, relieved to see her love.

"What is the matter, you look anxious Katerina," Janus said

"Jen, she says that something has happened to my parents," Katerina said getting a surprised look from Janus.

"What. What has happened," Janus asked

Katerina then turned back to her friend, "Please Jen, tell us what happened," she said

Jen sighed and looked at Katerina solemnly, "Your parents were robbed by thieves," Jen said

Katerina gasped, "Are they ok," she asked

Jen shook her head, "No, they aren't, they beat your father, and they violated your mother," she said

"Mother, Father, I can't believe it," Katerina said upset at what she was just told.

"It's ok Katerina," Janus said wrapping Katerina in his arms, "We will go see them after they are treated," Janus suggested giving Katerina a supportive smile making her smile too.

"Thank you, Janus," Katerina said, Jen however wasn't done with the news.

"You can't," Jen said getting Katerina and Janus's attention.

"What do you mean, I can't," Katerina said

"Katerina, your parents aren't being treated. They're…they're dead," Jen said

"What," Katerina whispered

"The thieves killed them," Jen said

"No, no," Katerina whispered, she then started to get louder, "NonononononoNONONONONONOOOOOOOOO…..," Katerina cried as she fell to her knees, crying her eyes out. Janus immediately kneeled down and brought Katerina in his arms, holding her and letting her cry.

October 29, 1605

One Week has passed and Katerina is in her room, packing everything that she wishes to bring with her on her journey in the trunk. Finally, she picked up a doll and looked at it. Katerina smiled, her father had gotten this doll for her, she remembers that she used to take it everywhere with her. She loved this doll very much, even when she got older, Katerina never got rid of the doll, instead she sat her on one of her shelves for everyone to see. This doll, one of the only things that she has of her parents, "You ready for another adventure," she said, keeping the doll in her hands, Katerina closed and locked the trunk, she then turned around and walked out of her room where some men were waiting. When the men saw her exit the room, they entered her room to get the trunk. Katerina paid no mind, she just kept walking through the house memorizing everything. This will be the last time she'll ever be here. Finally, Katerina exits the house where Janus is waiting for her, and they walk to the carriage together.

"Are you ok Katerina," Janus said

Katerina sighed, "No, I'm not. But I'll get better, I hope," she said

"You're sure that you wish to leave," Janus asked

"I'm sure, I can't be here, not without them," Katerina said as they approached the carriage, Janus then helped her get up.

"If that is what you want," Janus said

"A fresh start, that is what I want," Katerina said

Janus nodded as he got in the carriage as well, "Then that is what you will have," he said, they then saw as some of the men bring Katerina's trunk and place it in the back of the carriage. The men then went to the front of the carriage, "Are you ready my prince, my lady," one of the men said

Janus looked at Katerina, she nodded her head, "Let's go," she said with that the carriage moved and Katerina watched as they were leaving, she was leaving the home that she spent her entire life in. Now she was going somewhere she had never been before, it's new which is something she needs. She needs somewhere, where there are no old memories, a fresh start, and the best part is that she gets to be with Janus, she just wished that her parents were here.

Present Day

It was hard to leave, but I had to. There were just too many ghosts, it took us a couple of
days but we finally made it, and I must say, it truly is beautiful here.
I must go now. Farewell, Katerina.

After reading that passage Kitty closed the book and looked out the window to see the ghost town, "Heh, perhaps it's beautiful when there is actually daylight," Kitty commented, just then she hears her door opening. Quickly Kitty puts the book in the drawer of the nightstand next to her bed. Once the door is finally open Kitty looks to see that it is Janus staring at her lustfully.

"Hello Katerina," Janus said

Kitty does a mental eye roll but puts up the act. She smiles sultry and crosses her legs bringing her knee up, letting more of her leg show, "Why hello, my fiancé," Kitty said in a seductive voice, "So, what are you waiting for?"

With that Janus speeds over to Kitty, jumps on top of her, and smashes his lips on hers, more than eager to show Kitty why he is better than Peter.

Sanctum Sanctorum

In the Sanctum Sanctorum, Sitwell, and Jack were in Dr. Strange's lair both discussing on what to do, "We've taken a real beating," Sitwell said

"Yeah, we have, morale is low, but we must continue with the mission. No matter what," Jack said getting a nod from Sitwell. "The problem is, how are we gonna infiltrate Dracula's Castle, and get to the ceremony without having to fight our way through an army of vampires. It doesn't matter whether we are healed now, by the time we get to the ceremony, we'd be exhausted."

"It doesn't matter, what we do, we'll be fighting vampires, no, matter what," Sitwell said

Jack nodded, "True. Where is Dr. Strange and Blade? We need their input for this," he said

Just then Dr. Strange walks in the room, "I heard my name," Dr. Strange said as he approached the two.

"Just wondering where you were. We're trying to set up a plan, could use you and Blade's input in it," Jack said

"Sorry, but I had had to step out," Dr. Strange said

"Step out? What could be so important," Sitwell asked

"Just getting us some help. We need as much as we can get," Dr. Strange said

"That's for sure, now all we need is Blade," Jack said

"He's trying to talk to Peter. Trying to convince him to rejoin the mission," Dr. Strange said

Jack sighed, "He shouldn't bother, I looked in that boy's eyes, he's broken. The girl that he loves is transforming into a vampire and is with another. As far as he is concerned, she's lost, and I don't blame him. I'm afraid to say it, but unless we can get Janus to release Shadowcat, then Shadowcat's transformation is inevitable. As far as Peter is concerned, we've lost. He won't fight," he said

"I wouldn't be so sure about that, I have brought back some people I believe can persuade him," Dr. Strange said

"As for Ms. Pryde becoming a vampire, well, all we need to do is make a stop at the Tri-carrier and that problem will be solved," Sitwell said

Jack raised an eyebrow, "Why do I feel like that I'm being left out of a secret that everyone else is in on," he said, causing Dr. Strange and Sitwell to smile.

"What about Ms. Russo, last I saw her, she wasn't doing so good. Hard to believe that she is the same Alex Russo that has been causing mischief all these years," Sitwell said, with all the bizarre things that happened on Waverly Place, of course S.H.I.E.L.D. would know of the Russos, and their activities.

"Alex has been through a traumatic experience and has finally been shown the reality of what saving the world entails. But don't worry, that is handled as well," Dr. Strange said

Somewhere Inside The Sanctum Sanctorum

Peter was in one of the rooms looking out the window and upon the city of New York. New York City, his city, this is the city of Spider-Man, but Peter doesn't want to be Spider-Man anymore, he doesn't deserve it, not after he failed Kitty. Not after he failed to protect her, he was her boyfriend, it was his job to protect her, to defend her, and he failed at both. He'll never forget the first time that he met Kitty, he was just five years old at the time, but he can remember that day, as if it happened seconds ago.

Flashback – Midtown Preschool, 1990

It was the first day of preschool and the teacher was having everyone introduce themselves to the class. Eventually they got to him, as everyone looked at him, Peter felt incredibly nervous at having all the attention on him. He doesn't like the attention, he's had enough of it when his parents died.

"Go on sweety, please tell up your name," the teacher said softly

"Peter Parker," Peter said

"Hi Peter," the class greeted which honestly unnerved Peter.

"Is there anything that you would like to tell us about yourself," the teacher asked but Peter shook his head, his nerves getting the better of him.

The teacher nodded and gave Peter a reassuring smile, "Ok, we'll get to learn more about you as the year develops," she reassured Peter, "OK, now next let's go with you, the little miss with the brown hair and ponytail," the teacher pointed at a brown-haired girl who had her hair in a ponytail.

The girl stood up and looked at the room with a smile, not the least bit bothered with the attention. "Hi, my name is Kitty Pryde," she said

"Hi Kitty," the glass greeted making Kitty giggle.

"I am four years old, me, and my mommy and daddy just moved here. Hm, my mommy signed me up for dance classes, I only went to a few, but I like it. It's fun," Kitty said

The teacher smiled, "Thank you Kitty," she said

"You're welcome," Kitty chirped as she sat down.

After that class started, it would be later in the day did Peter find himself alone. He has been quiet throughout the day, and that seemed to turn a lot of kids off. They called him weird, which hurt his feelings. Peter had been sitting by himself for fifteen minutes when someone came walking over and stopped in front of him.

"Hi," a female voice said getting Peter's attention, he turned to the voice and saw that it was that girl Kitty.

"I'm Kitty. What's your name," Kitty asked

"Peter," Peter answered

Kitty gave a wide smile at that and nodded, she then surprised him by sitting down on the seat next to him. After that Kitty started to talk to him about anything that came to her mind, and man did a lot of things appear in this girl's mind. Eventually Peter was forced to talk back, they then started talking. Once the break was over Kitty had dragged Peter with her the entire day. Finally, as the day ended and the kids were all getting ready to leave, Peter and Kitty were still together.

"This was a great first day," Kitty said

"Yeah," Peter said

"You want to know the best part though," Kitty asked

"What," Peter asked curiously

"When I met you," Kitty said tapping Peter's nose giggling.

Peter blushed, "I liked that to," he said

"Gweat, I have an idea," Kitty said

"What," Peter said

Kitty smiled, "Let's be best fwiends," she said

"Best fwiends, weally," Peter asked

Kitty nodded, "We'll be best fwiends for evew," she said

Peter looked at Kitty as she smiled and Peter himself couldn't help but smile, he liked Kitty, she was nice and was the first kid to talk to him, "Ok," he said

"Gweat, then this day forward we awe best fwiends for evew," Kitty said

"Kitty," a woman's voice called getting Kitty's attention to see her mother Rebecca Pryde at the door.

"My mommy's hewe, see you tomowo Peter," Kitty said

"See you tomowo," Peter said

Kitty then does something that surprises Peter and kisses him on the cheek, "Bye," she said and then she ran off to her mother and as they left Kitty was waving goodbye with Peter waving back.

Unknown to the two, their friendship would last for years to come.

Back To Present

Peter smiled as he thought about that day, it's like he told Blade, when he first saw Kitty, he knew that he loved her. Kitty was the best friend that he could have ever asked for, she had stuck by him through everything, never letting anything or anybody separate them. Even things like social status, honestly Peter always thought that he held Kitty back. She could have become one of the most popular girls in school, all she had to do was ditch him. He wouldn't have blamed her if she did, he was a nerd, a loser, he deserved to be at the bottom of the social ladder. But Kitty was kind, caring, outgoing, energetic, bubbly, insanely smart, and beautiful, she had the makings of a popular girl, she was born to be popular, but she wasn't. She wasn't popular because she hung out with him, she had plenty of opportunities to ditch him. A lot of kids told her not to bring him, told her to ditch him, told her to dump him, but she never did. Kitty would always take him to some party that she thought was fun and could get him to enjoy. Kitty never left him to go out and hang out with other people, popular people, she always stayed with him, even if it was for something that she wasn't into. And every time someone told her to dump him, she would rip them a new one, he once saw her verbally tear down one of the most popular and handsome guys in the school, this was a guy that a lot of girls had a crush on, Kitty included. But that crush immediately vanished when she saw the way he treated and spoke to Peter, and when he told her to dump the loser, she tore him down until he was in shreds. After she'd done that, Kitty grabbed Peter's hand and dragged him away, they went to her house to watch Star Trek together, they laid in her bed and ate popcorn.

Kitty had always been there for him, always stood by him, and he always tried to do the same for her. But this time, this time when she needed him the most, he wasn't there, he couldn't protect her, he failed her. Kitty has been bitten, unless Janus releases her then she will become a vampire, and she will stay with him. And tonight, tonight she will marry him. God the thought of that brings upon the worse of pains that he has ever felt. What he wouldn't give to have her by his side again.

In Another Room Of The Sanctum Sanctorum

Mason and Alex were walking down the hallways of the Sanctorum, well, Alex was storming down the hallways while Mason was helplessly following her. The couple were having a fight over what should be done next. "NO, no," Alex rejected

"Alex, it has to be done," Mason said

"No, it doesn't, at least not by you," Alex said

"Yes, by me, I offered my help Alex, I want to help Alex," Mason said

"Want," Alex scoffed, "Of course you do, you don't just want to look like a hero, you want to be a hero. Like you wanted to look like a hero when we thought the government was capturing wizards," Alex said

"HEY," Mason exclaimed, as he then sped up and stopped in front of Alex stopping her, "That's not fair."

"Boohoo, guess what Mason, life isn't fair," Alex said

"I need to help them Alex, I need to do this," Mason said trying to get Alex to understand.

"Yeah, well you can count me out of this one. I've seen things Mason, things that I thought that I would never see. I saw kids die, I saw them slaughtered, vampires feed on them. Right in front of me I saw a girl killed by someone who I know, someone who I thought was good, someone who is supposed to become my family, and I saw him kill right before my eyes with glee in his eyes. And that girl, she was standing there, right in front of us, breathing, and alive. And then a claw through the back, and she immediately goes limp, dead, as if she wasn't just alive five seconds ago. I saw corpses as I walked here Mason. I am never gonna get this out of my head, this will stay with me FOR THE REST OF MY FUCKING LIFE," Alex said

"I didn't want to coming in the first place," Mason said

Alex laughed at that, "So, this is my fault, THIS IS MY FAULT," Alex snapped, she then stopped for a moment, "Actual, no, you're right, this is my fault," she said surprising Mason.

"Alex," Mason said but Alex ignored him, and continued.

"Everyone I knew always said the same thing to me, I'm reckless, I'm thoughtless, I always jump into things without thinking and one day that was gonna land me in some serious trouble. You've even told me that Mason. Well, guess what, you were right. YOU WERE ALL RIGHT, BECAUSE TONIGHT, THIS NIGHT, I WAS THOUGHTLESS, I WAS RECKLESS, I JUMPED IN A SITUATION WITHOUT EVEN THINKING, AND LOOK WHERE THAT'S GOTTEN ME. IT'S GOTTEN ME HERE MASON. I WITNESSED CHILDREN DIE, I WATCHED AS MY HERO WAS DISCOVERED TO HAVE BEEN BITTEN AND HAD BEEN PLAYING US SINCE I MET HER, I HAD MY HAND BROKEN, MY WAND IS BROKEN, BEYOND REPAIR, I WAS ALMOST FED OFF OF BY VAMPIRES, JULIET'S MOTHER ALMOST SUCKED MY BLOOD, SHE WAS THIS CLOSE TO BITING ME IF SHE WASN'T CALLED OFF," Alex said putting her index and thumb only and inch apart, "OH, HAVE I FORGOTTEN TO MENTION THAT WHEN THE VAMPIRES BECOME IMMUNE TO SUNLIGHT, SHE'S GONNA COME AFTER ME AND FINISH THE JOB. WE ALMOST DIED MASON, WE ARE LUCKY TO BE ALIVE, ALL I KNOW IS BECAUSE KITTY THINKS THAT LIVING IN THIS WORLD WOULD BE WORSE FOR US THAN DYING. WE ARE LUCKY TO BE ALIVE MASON, AND NOW YOU WANT TO GO BACK AND THROW YOURSELF AT THE WOLVES."

"Well, I am a werewolf," Mason said

"DON'T JOKE, THIS IS NOT SOMETHING TO JOKE ABOUT. YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU'VE ALREADY MADE YOUR DECISION. If you want to go and get yourself killed then go ahead," Alex said as she stormed passed Mason.

"Alex," Mason said helplessly watching Alex walk away from him.

Inside Castle Dracula, Kitty's Room

Inside Kitty's room moans and the mattress moving could be heard throughout the room. Through the room are clothes, there is Kitty's dress and Janus's clothes. On the bed it shows Janus in his underwear, and Kitty who is in her black lace bra and panties. Janus is lying on his back while Kitty is straddling his hips, her hands on his chest as she thrusts her hips against Janus's grinding her covered pussy with his covered dick. The friction was absolutely delicious causing both people to moan in please. Kitty gives another thrust making the mattress hit against the back board again. She keeps on doing this over and over.

"Ohhhh, Katerina," Janus said as he feels the pleasure that the friction gives him.

"Ohhhh, yesssss," Kitty said with her eyes closed, she then pushes her hands off Janus's chest and holds them in the air letting her chest pop out drawing Janus's eyes, Kitty then gets more frantic with her movements, "Ah…ah…ah…ah…ah…ah…ah…ah yes…yes…yes…yes…yes…yes…yes," she said thrusting between every sound and word. Janus then brings his hands up to Kitty's breasts and squeezes them roughly, it was painful, but the pain makes it more pleasurable for her. After letting him play with her breasts a bit, Kitty drops herself down on her stomach and then starts to kiss Janus's bare chest making him groan causing Kitty to look up. Now in reality it is Janus's who Kitty is looking at and who is looking at her as if she is some possession. A possession that he is free to do with whatever he'd like. But in Kitty's fantasy is another story.

Kitty's Fantasy

Kitty is looking up to see Peter looking down at her with care, affection, and love, she continues to kiss up his chest, never breaking contact with his blue eyes. She finally kisses up to Peter's collarbone, then to his neck, she leaves a few bites, licks, sucks, and kisses on it. She knows that within the hour they will be healed but she will take pleasure in knowing that they are here now, and that she gave them to him. Kitty then moves up to his face and kisses Peter's lips, they kiss like that for a while, until Peter roughly flips them, Peter looks down on her lustily and Kitty returned the gaze.

Reality

Janus, now on top of Kitty looks down on her with lust in his eyes, and he can see the same amount of lust in hers. He wants to tear off the rest of her clothes, tear them off and claim her as his. But he knows that he can't, if he tries, she'll just phase out of his grip like last time. He doesn't know why she just doesn't act like how she was centuries ago. She didn't want to give herself then, but he was able to claim her anyway. Katerina, she's much more rebellious now, he admits that he likes it, but he will be sure to show her, just where her place is. For now, he'll do as she wants and will just settle with this.

With that, Janus thrusts his hips hard against Kitty's crashing their privates together and making Kitty scream in pleasure which makes Janus smirk. He then continues to thrust his hips crashing himself against her over and over again for ten minutes making the bed hit the wall, Janus grunt, and Kitty screaming in pleasure, "AH…AH…YEAH…YESS," Kitty screamed

"WHO DO YOU BELONG TO TELL ME KATERINA WHO," Janus said as he upped the strength in is thrusts.

"AAHHHHH," Kitty's screamed in pleasure as her back arched.

"TELL ME," Janus said

"YOU YOU, I BELONG TO YOU. I AM YOURS, PLEASE USE ME, PLEASE MAKE ME CUM," Kitty said, but she wasn't saying that to Janus, in her mind she was saying that to Peter. Although she was aware that in reality it was Janus, she chooses to see and hear Peter. If she doesn't do this, she'll do either two things, the first is be sick that she is doing this anyone who isn't Peter, and the second she would hit him, she would either punch him, or kick him in the groin, but she can't do that, she has an act that she must perform and she must perform it perfectly. She just has to be careful not to say any names in fear that if she does then she will say Peter's. So instead, she says yes, yeah, and so on. Smirk widening at what Kitty said, Janus increased his thrusts making Kitty scream louder, "AAAHHHHHHHHHH," she screamed in pleasures, "YES…YES…YES…YES," She said as she felt Janus's covered cock making contact with her covered pussy constantly, "AH AHA AHAH AH AH AHAHAH, OH MY FUCK, FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK, I'M I'M I'M CUMMING AHHHHHHHHHHH," Kitty screeched as her back arched and she came, Janus then came seconds later his semen shooting in his underwear and nowhere on her, which she is thankful for, Kitty just lays there panting trying to catch her breath, her fantasy slowly fading and she is entering reality, "Wow," she said, even though she is enhanced with the enzymes, she still can't seem to keep up with a fully transformed vampire. It makes her wonder what Peter will be like, just the thought of a vampire Peter with the proportional abilities of a spider excites her greatly. If she can't keep up with Janus now. Then even when she's fully transformed, Peter would probably kill her just by fucking her, good thing vampires can only die a certain number of ways, and she's sure death by sex isn't one of them. At least she is pretty sure, she'll have to look into that.

Janus who got off Kitty and was now standing up smirked as he heard what she said, he then looked at her and watches as she is still panting, a layer of sweat having formed on her skin, she was still in her bra and panties sitting up, her back against the pillows, one leg down the other having her knee up. All, he wants to do is tear off her clothes and fuck her just like he used too, fuck her till her eyes roll up, till her tongue is hanging from her mouth, till she is just a babbling mess begging and pleading him for more. She always said that she wanted loving and tender love making but her actions in the past said otherwise. She liked it when he was rough on her, she liked it when he used her, and they both knew it.

Kitty catches Janus's look and rolls her eyes, this guy doesn't love her, he probably didn't even love the other girl. He just wants to possess her, have her so no one else can. He probably thought that Katerina would never leave him, she must have with this Petrus guy, and the fact that someone beat him. That Katerina thought there was someone better than him, probably drove him mad, and that is why he seems to constantly be trying to out due Peter. Who would have thought that a vampire prince who is as strong as him would be so pathetic. She can't wait to see the look on his face when he finds out that she never had any intention of being with him, but with Peter instead. Kitty gained a cruel and amused smirk at the thought.

Janus, who missed the smirk had finally put on his clothes, which is a white buttoned shirt, a black vest, a black tailcoat with the collar up, black pants, and black shoes. He then turned to Kitty, "I have something for you," he said getting a curious look from Kitty.

"For me," Kitty asked

Janus then took out a box from his pocket, he opened the box, took out and showed Kitty a diamond ring, "This ring, I had planned to give you centuries ago, I had offered it once, but you refused. You were with Petrus, even when he was dead, you still refused to be with me," Janus growled

"Well, that was then," Kitty said taking the ring from Janus, and putting it on her finger, "This is now," she then looked at the ring then at Janus, and smirked, "Screw Petrus, you're the one I want to be with."

Janus smirked, he then leaned down and kissed Kitty who returned it. Once they broke Janus spoke, "I must go, the potion should be finished by now," he said as he stood up and started walking to the door.

"Does that mean that it's time," Kitty asked stopping Janus who looked at her.

"Close, I just have to check on a few things first," Janus said

"Do you need any help," Kitty asked, killing Dracula would be a great start in showing people that she is not a person to be trifled with, and when she adds Janus to the mix, they'll really fear her.

"No, I'll take out my father by myself," Janus said

"Oh, come on, let me help," Kitty said as she got off the bed and walked up to Janus, "Think about it, you and me facing your father. Think how terrible it would be for him knowing that he didn't just get beaten by you, but me as well."

"It would drive him mad," Janus said

"Crazy mad," Kitty said getting a thoughtful look from Janus, "Think about it," Kitty said, slowly and sensually rubbing her hands down Janus's chest. "Killing him together, it could be considered a testimony of the love that we share for each other."

After a moment of thinking Janus looked at Kitty and smirked, "Alright Katerina, we'll face my father together," Janus said

"Excellent," Kitty said as she gave Janus a sensual kiss, once they break apart Janus leaves Kitty's room closing the door. Kitty smirked as she walked back to her bed and lying down, her back against the pillows. Helping Janus kill Dracula will change the reputation that she has around here. She's not blind, she knows that one of the only reasons that anyone is frightened of her is because she's Janus's beloved. Anyone dares to harm her and they would face Janus's wrath. She needs to change that and quickly, now normally she would be really manipulative and just let the father and son kill each other so she could come out on top, without having to do a thing. But she needs to change her reputation or else no one would take her seriously, and helping Janus killing Dracula will be perfect, if anything goes wrong then she will just phase out of there. Then, after Dracula, when she kills Janus, she doubts anyone would stand against her. But before she does anything, Kitty decides that it is time for a shower, the sweat makes her feel sticky and the smell makes her sick. It's a reminder of what Janus, not Peter, did to her. "SERVENTS," Kitty called, and immediately two women rushed in her room to her bed and bowed.

"Yes, milady," one of the women, one of the ones who she met when she first saw this room said.

"Bout time you got here," Kitty said, she then noticed the new girl, this girl was around her age, "And just who is this," Kitty inquired

The second servant girl hesitantly looked up at Kitty, looking at her in fear which amused her, "My name is Sara. I was placed as a replacement for Cynthia," the girl, Sara said

"Cynthia," Kitty questioned raising an eyebrow.

"She was the one who was," the first servant woman said, she then gulped, "Taken away."

"Oh, I see," Kitty said, "Well, no reason to talk about such trivial matters now," Kitty noticed the first woman tense, but she didn't care, "As you can see, I'm sweaty and I stink," she said gesturing toward herself, "I wish to wash myself."

"Would our lady like us to draw a bath," Sara offered

"Well, I'm certainly not telling you this to make conversation am I," Kitty said annoyed, "Yes draw me a bath, and make it a bubble bath, I use Dove products, they better be there when I arrive, or there will be consequences," Kitty said her red eyes glowing scaring the two women.

"We'll be sure that they are there by the time you are. I shall go prepare your bath," Sara said

"Good, you do that," Kitty said, with that Sara straightened up and started to walk away, but just as she opened the door Kitty stopped her, "Sara," she said getting Sara to turn around and look at her.

"Yes milady," Sara asked

"Do you know what happened to the other servant? She showed incompetence, what's happening to her right now, well I imagine that she has a lot of bite marks on her body by now. Not the kind one gets for fun. Be sure not to show the same incompetence, or that will be your fate. Understand," Kitty said getting a terrified look from Sara, who nodded her head.

"Y…Yes mi…milady," Sara said

"Good, you may go. I expect to be notified when it is done," Kitty said

"Of course," Sara said, bowing once again, she then exits the room to do her duties.

Kitty then looked at the first servant woman, "Well, what are you still doing here. I have no need for you. Leave," she ordered the woman.

The woman bowed, "Of course milady," she said, with that the woman left the room.

"Hm, I'll be sure to kill her. Something tells me that left unchecked then she could rebel," Kitty said, seeing that she is alone again, Kitty opened the drawer to her nightstand, took out Katerina's diary, flipped it to a page, and started reading it.

October 25, 1606
Dear diary, it has been one year since my parents have died, one years since I left the only home that I ever
known, one year since I moved to Town Dracule and started a new life. For a while everything was quite nice,
however I noticed that the people looked at me in fear. It is probably because I am with Janus, and they know
of his vampirism. It took me some time, but I was able to gain their trust and make some friends, they however
are weary when Janus is around. If only they would take the time to get to know him.
There does seem to be something wrong with Janus. Quite recently he seems to be changing, more short
tempered and demanding. He doesn't like it when I spend time with other people, which is strange because, he
knew of my friends in my old home.
I remember it wasn't that long ago when he wanted my purity, I didn't want to. I wanted to wait till marriage to give
myself, but he convinced me. I have mixed feelings about it, I wanted my first time to be loving and tender, but that
isn't what it was. It was more animal-like, he was an animal wanting nothing more than to breed me. It is not what I
wanted, in fact at first it scared me, but as we continued. I don't know whether or not I should be ashamed, but I
enjoyed it, I enjoyed all of it. The things we've done, the noises we made, how I begged him to keep going, the ecstasy,
the pleasure was indescribable. As we finished and I screamed his name in passion, I was sweaty, I was panting,
I was tired, I couldn't move, and barely conscious, but despite all that I still believed that I wasn't ready. I still wished
that I have waited, I still do wish that. But it made Janus happy, and I suppose that's all that matters. I believe that
I am gonna end here for now, I wish to take care of my plants. I will see if I can write tonight. Farewell, Katerina

Once the passage was done, Kitty moved on to the next passage, and she read about how Janus had surprised Katerina while she was taking care of her plants. He had visited her in the daylight, Katerina had gone on to explain how Janus had acquired the artifact, she voiced how wonderful it was that Janus could now walk in the sunlight, and how now they can spend more time together. She then goes on to explain everything that they have done together so far, and how much she has enjoyed it. It was only after she read the third passage which was Katerina saying how Dracula found out about the artifact and is now sending Janus out on a mission. Katerina is voicing her displeasure and worry on the matter. After she finished the passage, there is a knock on her door, "Come in," Kitty said, and in enters the servant woman.

"Your bath is prepared milady," the servant woman said

"Good, is all the essentials there," Kitty said

"Yes milady," the servant woman said

"Excellent," Kitty said

"If you will follow me, then I will show to the bathroom," the woman said

Kitty gets off the bed, "Thank you, um…," Kitty said

"Mariam, milady," Mariam said

"Mariam well let's go," Kitty said as she walked toward Mariam, she then got a robe and put it on, they then exit the room, and the servant leads her to the bathroom. Eventually, they arrived at the bathroom, Mariam opened the door for her, allowing Kitty to enter. Once she entered the bathroom, Kitty noticed that the bathroom was big, it had a black tiled floor, a marble sink, there was a toilet, with toilet paper hanging beside it, she sees a walk-in shower, but what really caught her attention was the bathtub. It was one of those jacuzzi tubs, that was as big as a hot tub. Next to the tub was a cart with all her products. Sara was next to the tub looking at Kitty nervously. Kitty walked around the bathroom a bit, it truly was amazing, she then walked up to the tub.

"Is everything satisfactory milady," Sara asked hoping for a positive answer.

"Yes, it is. Excellent job," Kitty said, as she took off her robe and handed it to Sara, "Hang that up for me." Sara took the robe and did as she was told. Kitty then takes off her bra and panties, showing off her slender legs, tight butt, her shaved pussy, her flat yet toned stomach, and her c-cup breasts. Kitty throws her bra and panties to the floor, "I want those washed, and be sure to iron my dress, I don't want any wrinkles on it."

"Yes milady," both servant women said

Kitty then steps in the tub and sits down, sighing as she feels the hot water relax her. Now this is what she calls the royal treatment. After the day that she's had, she needs this. Oh yeah, she could get used to this. "You may go now," Kitty said, with that both women bowed and left the bathroom, leaving Kitty alone. Using this alone time Kitty uses it to continue her reading, with that, she brings the book up and reads.

November 20, 1606
Dear diary something interesting has happened today, as Janus and I were hand-in-hand
taking our daily walk around the town, I noticed a new face in the town, a stranger.
I was interested, and wanted to meet him, become his friend. Janus, however, didn't,
he didn't want to meet him, and didn't want me to see him. We argued about it, I know
what it is like to be a stranger in a new town, I was lucky to have Janus, but as far as I could
tell the stranger didn't have anyone. I wanted to change that, after all everybody could use
a friend. I told Janus that if he didn't want to meet him, then I would. Janus however did
something…something that truly surprised me, he tightened his hand on my wrist,
and squeezed it hard. It…it hurt, in all the time that I have known him, Janus had never laid
a hand on me, he never hurt me, and the look in his eyes, truly was frightening. That was
when I knew that something was happening to him, he was changing, and I didn't like it.
When I told him that he was hurting me, he released me, he tried apologizing, but I walked
away, I couldn't face him. I approached the stranger, Janus followed me, we approached
the stranger and, I must say that he was very handsome. I can't tell Janus that though or he
would turn jealous. He always becomes jealous when he finds out that I find a guy handsome.
We got his attention, I asked where he came from, he came from up north. I asked what
brought him here, he was looking for work, I told him that we could use some good workers
and try the fields, he thanked me. He then held out his hand and introduced himself. His name
is Petrus, I took his hand, and told him my name. I remember when I took his hand in mine, I felt
something, like a jolt. It was nice, that is when I knew that him being here would was for the best.
I wonder if he felt it too. Anyway, I must go and prepare supper. Farewell, Katerina.

As Kitty sat in the tub, she continued to read, she was finding Katerina's story more interesting by the passage.

Sanctum Sanctorum

Alex was in one of the studies, she was sitting down on the floor watching the fire. In the background she can hear Mason behind the door, calling her name. He wanted to talk, probably about the mission but she had no interest in talking. Alex continues to watch the fire as she watched the fire, memories of the past couple hours come running through her head. She remembers being in the hotel room just relaxing and reading a magazine when Mason came in and said he was going out to roam and that he'd be back in an hour, then he left. She remembers waiting two hours for him, when the second hour past Alex got worried enough to use a location spell. Once she found him, Alex used a spell to take her to him. She remembers arriving in a bush, she looked through the bush and saw Mason with a lot of people, people who she didn't know. They were talking and she, being nosy, was listening. Ok so maybe she was spying on them a little. Give her a break, she was curious.

She remembers one of the werewolves say something then she sees the man with the nicely cut hair, goatee, blue body suit and red cape summon some kind of red bands, then before she could do anything the bands are thrown at her and restrain her. She remembers being questioned, Mason defending her and telling them who she is. She remembers the other wizard released her because she was unable to break free. Yeah, most powerful wizard her foot.

She remembers finding out Mason was helping the group, that there was big trouble. She remembers offering her help and Mason rejecting her, saying that it was too dangerous. She remembers saying that she's been in danger before, and Mason saying not like this, this was different. He was right it was, now she wishes she never offered. She remembers the wizard backing her up and her going through the portal with Mason following her.

Alex remembers appearing in the Sanctum and being amazed by it, she remembers being told that she was in the Sanctum Sanctorum and the shock she felt because of it. She remembers realizing that the mystery wizard was the Sorcerer Supreme, Dr. Strange himself. She simply couldn't believe that she was in his presence, the honor she felt for being in the same room as him. She remembers being introduced to the Howling Commandos, Spider-Man, and…Shadowcat. She was introduced to Shadowcat, her hero, and her crush. Fine there you have it, if Alex had crushes on guys, then she certainly had crushed on some girls, she'll even say that she thought that Gigi was hot, not that she'd ever tell the bitch that. She's had crushes on heroines before, Black Widow, Jean Grey, Invisible Woman, but her biggest crush had to have been Shadowcat or Kitty as she was told she could call her. Alex always thought that the girl was hot, her brown hair, cute face with that innocent and adorable smile that would be on it but could quickly become a look of determination when she was on a mission. Her mission suit which she thought looked great, very stylish. It certainly did a great job showing off that slim body of hers. Kitty despite not having destructive powers was a total bad ass with how she would charge opponents bigger and stronger than her, how she never hesitated once when people were in danger, she always jumped in, not caring if she died, not caring that these same people were probably slandering her before. Kitty didn't care, she just went in and saved them. Kitty really is awesome, Alex became a huge fan of the girl, and Alex wasn't lying when she said that Kitty had fans, that there were more people out there who supported not just her, and X-Men, but they supported mutants in general. Kitty, she's made a big difference which is why Alex can't hate her or be angry, especially after the explanation Dr. Strange gave them. If anything, Alex feels sad for the girl, she feels sympathy for her and what happened to her.

Sighing, she remembers being told the situation and she thought it was cool that Dracula existed. Of course, she had to take that back when she got frowns from everyone, but privately Alex thought it was cool. Now, now she doesn't think that. Dracula isn't cool, he's evil, and she hates him, she hates him, Janus, and vampires more than anything.

She remembers when everyone was relaxing, when she observed Kitty and Peter quickly deducing them to be a couple, she then watched Dr. Strange and still couldn't believe she was working with him. She remembers Dr. Strange catching her and calling her over. She remembers him saying that she can ask him questions, and just then every question that she's ever had just vanished. The only thing she could think of is why he knows of her, and he said that he recognizes potential and that she had a lot of it, but he didn't elaborate when she asked what she had potential for. She remembers discovering her being a witch, then reading that book, she remembers Kitty coming up and them talking, getting to know each other. It makes Alex wonder if it was just an act on Kitty's part, did she even think of her as a friend? She remembers Kitty leaving for the bathroom, then minutes later they hear noises, and one of Dr. Strange's students comes running in to warn them of the vampires. That's when everything changed for Alex, because just as the girl was warning them, a claw is shoves through her chest, killing her. That was the first time that Alex really saw someone die like that and it shocked her, it shocked her greatly, especially when she discovered the killer was Juliet's dad, Alucard.

Alex doesn't remember much after that, she remembers watching the girl's body, and her death playing over and over in her head. Then she heard Mason's roar which snapped her out of her shock, if only temporarily. She had exited the room and into the hall only to see carnage, students and teachers all dying or being turned, her 'teammates' fighting with all their might and just barely holding on. Teammates, that's a laugh, how could she call them teammates when she didn't do anything to help them.

She remembers Mason's roar, she followed it until she saw Mason on the ground about to be killed by a vampire, she took out her wand and shot the vampire off her boyfriend. She then ran over to Mason and helped him, she remembers pointing her wand at Alucard and Cydney, asking them, begging them to stay back, she didn't want to hurt them. Alucard said that they wanted to hurt her, she was then told how Juliet and her father had been protecting them for years, and she didn't even know it. She remembers them charging her and her saying a protection spell, she thought that would have been it, but she was wrong, because Alucard and Cydney started to attack her shield weakening it and her. It stayed like that for a while until she grew so weak that the bubble weakened and together Alucard and Cydney broke through the bubble. Alex remembers the backlash threw her back a few feet, she then remembers intense pain in her hand, Cydney had sped over to her and stomped on her hand, breaking both her wand and hand. She'll never forget when Cydney was only inches away from her, ready to bite her and feed off her. She'll never forget that moment, it had to be the scariest moment of her life. I makes her wonder just how did Kitty feel. Did she go through the same thing or was hers worse? When the fangs pierced her skin, the transformation, she heard the beginnings of the transformation is terrible, one of the worse things that you could feel.

Alex closed her eyes, they barely survived, they could have been killed but for some reason Kitty spared them. And now, after everything that has happened to them, they still want to try and stop the ceremony. Can't they see that it is hopeless!? They lost, if they go to Transylvania then they will all die, and she can't. She just can't.

Alex is broken from her thoughts when she hears the door to the study open, someone must have unlocked it. She then hears footsteps coming toward her. In the corner of her eye, she sees a pair of shoes, the person then sits down next to her.

"Leave me alone Mason, I told you, I'm not going. So just leave," Alex said

"Well, that's certainly not gonna happen," a familiar voice, a voice of the person who she wished was here with her said.

Alex turned her head and who she saw made her speechless for a moment, because right next to her, sitting down was none other than her big brother, "Justin," she whispered in surprise, "What…what are you doing here," Alex asked

Justin didn't say anything at first, he just opened his arms, "Come here," he said

Not having the strength to put on a strong façade, Alex did as Justin said and fell into his arms crying into his chest. Justin didn't say anything, all he did was wrap his arms around Alex and held her. There was no need for talking right now, right now Alex needed to let her emotions out, and Justin was giving her the chance. That's how they sat, a big brother holding his little sister, protectively in his arms.

They stayed like that for a while, neither saying a thing until finally Alex's tears stopped, but she didn't pull away. She stayed in Justin's arms, keeping her head buried in his chest, she needed this, needed him. Her big brother, the only person in the world who could keep the monsters away, the only person in the world where she felt safe and protected. No matter how much they fought, argued, or annoyed each other Alex knows that in the end that Justin is the only one she can count on, he will always be there for her, he will always protect her, and right now she needs him, more than ever. But still, she can't help but wonder, "What are you doing here," she asked

"Dr. Strange summoned me, said that he actually did need my help," Justin said

Alex peeked up and looked at Justin, "Actually," she asked, wondering what that means.

"I helped Dr. Strange locate the Vampyr tablet that was in Germany," Justin explained

"You've been involved in this, all along," Alex asked

"I guess. Because of the short time span that Dr. Strange had, he needed to find the piece quickly, but despite how powerful he is, he was afraid it wouldn't be enough. So, he summoned some of the most powerful magi that he knew. I was in my office at WizTech getting ready to go home when I got the summons," Justin said

Alex grinned, "Knowing you, you probably freaked out. Getting a summons from Dr. Strange," Alex said

Justin returned the grin, "I have no idea what you're talking about," he said making Alex laugh.

Alex's face then became solemn, "Did you know what was at stake though? Did you know who you were facing? Did you know the danger," she asked

Justin nodded his head, "I did, I'd known for a while," he asked

"How long is a while," Alex asked

Justin sighed, "Two months," he said

"TWO MONTHS," Alex said standing up and staring down at her brother, "You've known that this was happening for two months, and you didn't think to tell anyone."

Justin stood up and faced Alex, "No one could know Alex. If anyone knew, could you imagine the mass panic there would have been? These are the kind of things that need to stay quiet," Justin said

"No, these things, they need to be told. My God, Justin, what else have you kept from us," Alex asked

"More than you know Alex. More that you know, but that's one of the prices of being a headmaster. As headmaster of WizTech it is my job to help preserve the magical community, especially considering I'm Prof. Crumbs successor. It's a tough job, and it takes a toll, if not for Juliet's support, I don't think I would last as long as I have. I was told of the threat so I could prepare WizTech if Dr. Strange and The Howling Commandos failed. After I helped Dr. Strange locate the tablet, I went to the school and had the teachers prepare the defenses that we set up," Justin said

"We should have been told, maybe we could have…," Alex said but paused not sure what to say.

"Could have what Alex? Could have joined? Maybe you could have joined in the fight? Look at you Alex," Justin said gesturing toward Alex and the state that she is in. "You think that you would have acted any differently than you have today?"

Alex sighed at that, "You're right. You're always right. If I had known about this months ago, I wouldn't have thought about it, I would have just jumped right in without thinking. Just like I always do. You always told me that would get me in trouble that I wouldn't be able to get myself out of Justin. And you were right. I jumped in a situation without thinking, and I got myself in some serious trouble Justin, and I don't know how to get myself out of it," Alex said tears falling down her face again.

"You're afraid," Justin stated, all he got was silence from Alex, "You don't have to hide it, Alex. You know I won't judge you for it. I'm afraid Alex, I'm very afraid, but I'm still gonna go out there and fight."

"NO," Alex said as she immediately rushed toward Justin, "No Justin, you can't. You can't fight."

"I have to fight; this is one of my duties as a headmaster. If, I am ever called upon to join a battle or if I deem a battle needed to fight then it is my duty to fight," Justin said

"You can't Justin, you can't. If you go to Transylvania to fight, you will die. Please, Mason is already going, please don't go too. If you died Justin, I won't be able to handle it. Please, don't go," Alex begged

"I have to, I have a duty," Justin said

"As headmaster, fine. Ignore them, quit being headmaster," Alex said

Justin shook his head, "I can't do that," he said

"If this is about losing your powers then I'll give you mine. Their yours Justin, you can be the family wizard. Please Justin, please," Alex begged

"You're afraid," Justin said

Alex paused for a moment, "Yes, I'm afraid," she admitted

"You're afraid of the vampires, you're afraid to fight them, you're afraid of the consequences if you lose, and you're afraid of what the cost will be if we win," Justin said

"Yes. How can you not be afraid Justin? I've seen things today, Justin, things that I never thought that I would ever see. I was in a fight today, no scratch that. That wasn't a fight, it was me cowering behind a defense bubble, fearing for my life. I was almost fed on today, and it wasn't like the first time. The first time was sneaky, I didn't even know it was gonna happen. But this time, she was right above me, she…she wasn't human. I remember her leaning down to my neck, she was just gonna bite me, I was so scared, so terrified. How do I get over something like that," Alex asked

"I heard about that," Justin said

"Did you hear that it was Cydney who did it? Juliet's mother Justin," Alex said

"I did, I was wondering if they would ever try again," Justin said

"You knew that they were like this," Alex asked

"Not in the beginning, in the beginning I thought just like you. They were vampires, but they were goofy too. When Alucard raised his arms in the air talking about facing his wrath, it was so silly, so funny. But that was an act, it made them friendly, so they could get close to people, so people would let their guard down, and once their guard was down. Just like any predator they would strike, and they would feed. It had been a strategy that the two had been using for centuries. Juliet had always tried to rein them in, she couldn't stop them from hunting, but she was able to keep the death count low," Justin said

"Cydney said that Dad and Juliet had been protecting us," Alex said getting a nod from Justin.

"They were, they teamed up together to keep Juliet's parents away. Juliet was able to intercept them personally, she's had many confrontations with them. Gotten quite physical at times while Dad had other means to protect us. He made charms and potions. Remember that bracelet that he guilted you into wearing," Justin asked getting a nod from Alex,

"I remember him freaking out when he found out I took it off, and not the humorous freak out. He was furious that I took it off. I couldn't understand why," Alex said

"That was a charm that he made, it was able to ward off Alucard and Cydney for some time," Justin said

"I didn't realize that Dad and Juliet were protecting us," Alex said

"Alucard and Cydney wanted us. They saw how powerful we were getting and wanted us before we got our full powers. As wizards in-training, they could take us, but once we became full wizards it would have been much harder, especially since the Russo family is known to be one of the strongest magical families out there," Justin said

"We are," Alex asked

Justin grinned, "Really should have paid more attention in Dad's lessons," Justin said

Alex sighed, "You're right, I should have, maybe if I did, I wouldn't be in this mess," she said

"We're all afraid Alex, but we're still gonna fight. I'd rather die fighting for the world, for my family than live in a world ruled by vampires. Wouldn't you," Justin asked

"This isn't like years ago Justin, where we're facing a wizard rebellion full of teenagers, or the Angels of Darkness. This is different, you've seen the bodies. That was done by a horde of vampires. Out there, in Transylvania, a nation that is shrouded in darkness, a nation that is filled with vampires. You'll be surrounded, attacked on all sides, you'll be out gunned, and outnumbered. Out there, that's the endgame. How are you guys planning on beating that," Alex asked

"Together," Justin said

Alex took a step toward Justin and looked at him intensely, "We'll lose," Alex said

Justin returned Alex's stare with the same intensity, "Then, we'll do that together too," Justin said

Alex let a brief smile cross her face, she then turned around and walked away a few steps, then looked back at her brother, "I don't even have a wand. Mine was destroyed," Alex said

Justin smiled, "You know, when you became the family wizard, there were a few things that you forgot to take," he said getting a confused look from Alex. With a snap of his fingers a robe appeared in front of Alex, "The family wizard robe. Given only to the family wizard. When I was ahead of you and Max, Dad gave it to me. When you and I were bumped down to where we were unable to compete in the competition, it was given to Max. Both of us received it because it was thought that we would be the family wizard, but we're not," Justin said, he then opened his hand and what looked like a book appeared in it, "The family spell book. Holds some of the strongest spells in the Russo family," Justin then held out both hands and a rectangular box appeared in them.

Once Alex saw the box, her heart sped up, she knew what was in that box. It is an object that she had been avoiding for years, because of all the trouble it caused, because of all the trouble she caused with it. That was the closest that she got to losing her family. She doesn't say it out loud, but she has always blamed herself for that. The only positive things that came out of that adventure was she had gained a better appreciation for her mother, and it brought her and Justin closer together. Things that they never said to each other were finally said. It was like a weight had been lifted off her shoulders. Alex knows that she isn't the wiz…witch she used to be, but is she really ready for that? After everything that has happened, is she ready to wield it.

Justin then opened the box to show, "The family wand," Justin said

The family wand looked exactly like how Alex remembered it. It was silver in color, has an oddly shaped handle with a leather section, one part of the handle which is the middle top there is a red bump, and the shaft is shiny silver which is shaped like a twig. Even from here, Alex can feel the power that it holds.

"This wand is given to the family wizard, and that's you Alex. These items, that robe, that book, this wand, they all belong to you. You are the family wizard," Justin said

Alex looks hesitant, "Justin, I…I can't, you should take them. You've always been the better wizard, sorcerer, mage," Alex corrected herself.

"You're afraid that you will make the same mistake you did years ago. You were a wizard in-training then Alex, you didn't have the experience to wield it, but now you do. You may not show it, but you do have the knowledge, you have the caution, and you have the experience. You have proven yourself repeatedly, why you deserve to be the family wizard. I believe in you Alex, so does Max, Dad, Mom, Harper, Zeke, Juliet, Mason, Dr. Strange, The Howling Commandos, Spider-Man, and Shadowcat. We all believe in you, take the wand Alex, it's yours," Justin encouraged

Alex looked contemplative; she was in an internal struggle with herself. Can she do this? She's afraid, so afraid, not just of this wand, but of the fight. She doesn't want to fail, she doesn't want to be a vampire, she doesn't want to die. But what could be worse? She remembers Blade's warning, a world where every day is a day of survival, trying to keep herself from being fed on. She'd see her family die, some may even be turned, then she'd be running from them, and even forced to kill them. Is that a world she wants to live in? No, it's not a world she wants to live in. Alex then remembers what Justin said.

"I'd rather die fighting for the world, for my family than live in a world ruled by vampires. Wouldn't you," memory Justin asked

Yes, she would, she has no intention of living in a world ruled by vampires. She would rather fight for the world, fight for her family with Justin than to live in that world, and if they die, then they'll do that together too. Her decision made Alex looks at Justin, "You're wrong Justin, I'm not the family wizard," Alex said grabbing the wand from the box, she could feel its power course through her, giving her its magic, her magic, she forgot how it felt. But unlike last time, it feels right, like the wand has accepted her as its wielder. She then grabbed the spell book, and the robe. Once she touched the robe something happened, something that surprised Justin. The robe changed form, it was no longer a robe, instead it became a black cape. (The same cape the Power Rangers Mystic Force wear when they are not morphed)

"Whoa," Justin said

Alex wasn't surprised instead she smiled and put the cape on her, and once it was on, Alex herself lit up, and once the light died down, she is no longer in her normal clothes instead she is wearing a white long-sleeved shirt, a black collared leather vest with black leather pants, black shoes, on her waist is a holster for her wand, while her spell book was nowhere in sight.

"How did," Justin asked

"The wand, spell book, and robe sensed my need of different clothing. They could sense that I was going into a battle and so they responded and transformed my clothes to suit my needs," Alex explained

Justin was shocked, he could see it, Alex didn't have the same feeling to her that she normally did, no, now her power is more obvious, now she is serious, "You're the one who's wrong Alex, you're not the family witch, you're a hero. So, are you ready," he asked

Alex looked Justin in the eyes, her face one of determination, "I'm ready," Alex said

In Dracula's Throne Room

Dracula was sitting on his throne, contemplating what to do next. The potion is finished he has used all the blood of his victims, and he has used the appropriate charms on it. The time of the ceremony is approaching, but he cannot relax yet. No, the only time when he will do so is after the ceremony is complete. But there is still time, still time to stop him, the Howling Commandos will come, he knows they will, with people like the Daywalker on their side, they won't give up. In order to stop them, they must be killed, but Janus, the fool spared their lives, and all because of what the wench said. It makes Dracula wonder if all is as it seems with her, if she was truly with Janus then she would have let him kill everyone, but she didn't. Instead, she stopped him, now when one thinks about it, with heroes living in a world that they failed to stop could be considered a fate worse than death. But in another perspective is that she saved them because she still holds feelings for them and wants them to stop him, so she gave them a chance. Dracula had watched Katerina a bit, and he knows not all is as it seems when it comes to her. She'll be his son's undoing; he knows that much. Oh well, if his son will allow himself to be blind to this girl then he'll let it happen. Janus deserves to fall if he can't tell he is being used, as long the girl stays out of his way then he'll let her proceed. Who knows, maybe she'll be a more worthy successor than Janus.

A he continued to think, a pair of hands were slowly raising from the ground, but just as they were about the grab his feet, Dracula jumped away a few feet and turned around to where he sees a pair of hands, "Come out Ms. Pryde or I'll pull you out," he said

Suddenly Kitty raises from the ground in a slow manner until her feet are on the ground, "Ms. Pryde? Haven't been called that since I got here," Kitty said

"You will find that unlike my son, I am not disillusioned with the past. I also have a past with one of your teachers," Dracula said

"Hm," Kitty said interested, she sure that he means Logan, Janus has told her of some of the history of Transylvania. She's aware that King Vlad who helped fight in WWII was Dracula plus the Avengers has tangled with the guy a few times, and Wolverine just happened to be with them, "So you're my future father-in-law, Count Dracula," Kitty said

"You dare to call me by such a title, I am the vampire lord. No one would dare to cross me," Dracula said

"Except Iron Man, Captain America, Black Widow, Hulk, Thor, Ant Man, Wasp, Wolverine," Kitty taunted

Dracula snarled, "You insolent girl, you think I care if you are betrothed to my son. I'll kill you where you stand," he said

"I think you'll be quite busy, after all, I'm just the distraction," Kitty said

Just then before he could do anything Dracula is tackled by a flying figure and is slammed into the wall. Dracula looked to see who would dare attack him, and isn't surprised to see the attacker to be his own son, "Janus," Dracula said

"Hello father," Janus said as he smirked at Dracula, "Your time is up."

Dracula tisked he then broke Janus's hold on him and punched him in the face throwing him fifteen feet away. In a blur Kitty is by Janus's side, "Janus, are you ok," she asked the vampire prince.

"I'm fine Katerina," Janus said as he stood up with Kitty by his side.

"So, you finally found it? The courage to try and overthrow me, I was wondering when you would try. But tell me son, are you so weak that you need help from a mortal than to fight me on your own," Dracula said

Kitty stepped up at that, "I am Janus's future wife, we are partners in this endeavor, it only makes sense that we kill you together," Kitty responded which made Janus growl a bit, he'll have to show Katerina where she stands.

"Hm, tell me son, is this her speaking or both of you? Does she speak for you now," Dracula said

"I speak for myself. Katerina is my future wife, we will fight and kill you together," Janus said

"Enough chitchat. Are we gonna kill him or what," Kitty said

"Fools, I'll kill the both of you," Dracula said

"We will see," Janus said

The three stared each other down for a moment, Janus and Kitty vs. Dracula, then finally they charged each other, Janus thrust his claws at Dracula, but his father dodged and kicked him away. Kitty then tried a jump kick, but Dracula caught her leg and slammed her hard on the ground, he then threw Kitty across the room until she hit the floor.

As Kitty got up, Dracula made a whip of magic and whipped it at Kitty who instinctively phased, however much to her shock, the whip made contact with her arm, and she was once again thrown to the ground. Instinctively she holds her arm in pain. Ok so this isn't a good beginning. Why didn't anyone tell her that Dracula knows magic? That would have been a good bit of information to have. And why did she not phase through that whip? Kitty would have to think of that later, because she had to dodge another strike from that whip.

Before Dracula could try another attack, he sees a ball of fire heading towards him making him dodge. He turns and sees Janus throw another fireball at him, Dracula quickly summons his own and throws it, intercepting Janus's fireball. Due to the power of both fireballs, there was a big explosion. Janus watched the smoke, just then crimson chains can from the smoke and one wrapped around his neck, and the other his torso trapping his arms. The chains start to tighten around him making him grunt in pain. Once the smoke clears Dracula is shown smirking as he holds the chains in his hands. "The Crimson Chains of Cyttorack," Dracula said, he then lifted the chains over his shoulder and slammed Janus against the ground. Dracula then swung the chains and Janus crashes against the chair destroying it.

"HEY, GET AWAY FROM MY FIANCE," Kitty said as she sped to Dracula and punched his face making him lose his focus and the chains. Dracula growled and struck his claw at Kitty who dodged it and then kicked his chest making him grunt, Kitty tries for a punch but Dracula catches it he then kicked Kitty in the torso, she was able to keep her balance and slid 15 feet away. Dracula then charged Kitty, and threw a punch, she however blocked it but winced even though she is enhanced, Dracula is a full vampire while she is still transforming which makes her weaker than the vampire king. At a fast speed Dracula goes to cut odd her head with a chop, not having enough time to dodge or block, Kitty instinctively phased unsure if it will work, surprisingly it did work and Dracula's hands phased through her neck.

Before Dracula could do anything else he was kicked across the face by Janus sending him to the ground, "Crimson Chains of Cyttorack," Janus chanted, crimson chains appeared in his hands and he whipped them at his downed father, who was just able to roll away from being hit, and stood up, he however couldn't dodge the other chain that was swung at his chest making him yell in pain. Janus then swung up to where the chains were in the air and then brought them down on his father, Dracula however caught the chains. This was an opening that Kitty saw and immediately sped up to Dracula stopping in front of his, "Let's see how you do without your heart," Kitty said getting ready to phase her hand through Dracula's heart making Dracula's eyes widen realizing that he wouldn't be able to react in time. Janus however wouldn't let that happen and so he swing his chain at Kitty hitting her across the face throwing her back onto to ground. Janus's lack of focus would cost him, because Dracula grabbed the chain and quickly pulled Janus to him, digging his claws in Janus's chest making him gasp in, "Fool," Dracula said as he grabbed Janus by the neck and threw him to where Kitty was just getting up.

As they both got up, Kitty turned toward Janus, "What was that, I had him, I was just about to kill him," Kitty said, she was then grabbed by her shirt and pulled up toward Janus.

"Know your place Katerina, my father is mine to kill. Not yours, stay out of my way," Janus said, deciding to show Kitty where her place in the relationship really is. He then throws her on the ground, grew batwings on his back and charged Dracula, Dracula himself grew batwings and charged Janus, they then start to have an arial battle.

As Kitty watched, he hatred for Janus only increase as well as her want to kill him, "Your hubris will get you killed Janus," she said, Kitty would just love to let the guy die be killed by his own father, but she needs him right now. She knows that she is no match for Dracula as she is, but with Janus they could possibly kill him. The worst part is that now she is gonna have to play submissive to him, she'll do it for now, at least until she is ready to strike. With that Kitty decreased her molecules and started to run up the air like she was running up steps, and right when she fund and opening, she took it by jumping up above the two vampires, she then made herself solid again, let herself drop and drop kicked Dracula to the ground making him crash, "Now that's what I'm talking about," Kitty said

Janus, however, ignored Kitty and charged his father. Dracula was unable to dodge as Janus punched his head making a little crater. Janus grinned with glee, he then went to grab Dracula's neck. The vampire lord's eyes quickly snapped open and grabbed Janus's wrist surprising Janus, Dracula then pulled his sun down more and headbutted him, crushing his nose, Dracula then threw Janus off, he was about to continue but caught someone speeding at him, he then caught Kitty's punch by her wrist, her fist was just inches away from his face. Dracula's menicing eyes made contact with Kitty's determined eyes. Dracula then kicked Kitty's stomach making her gasp in pain and arch backward, however because Dracula didn't let go of her wrist made Kitty dislocate her shoulder causing her more pain. Dracula then backhanded Kitty 20 feet away.

Janus quickly said a spell to summon a sword, and charged his father. Dracula seeing this summoned a sword as well and met Janus in the middle, their swords clashing with each other. Both showing their skills with the blade, Janus slashed diagonal right, Dracula blocked and slashed horizontally, but Janus dodged, and tried to stab Dracula who dodged, then swung at Janus's head but he ducked, he then tried slashing up but Dracula stepped back dodging, he then gave Janus a hard kick sending him away.

Dracula couldn't continue the attack because Kitty sped to him and jump kicked him in the face. He growled in annoyance as he looked at Kitty, she is starting to become more trouble than he thought. Dracula swung his sword at Kitty with every intention of cutting off her head, she however ducked and phased, but even though she didn't get injured some strands of her hair was cut, which again surprised her, because she was in a passed state, that sword shouldn't have been able to touch her but it cut her hair. How? Dracula tries to bring his sword down but Kitty rolled out of the way. Kitty then charged Dracula, the vampire tries to stab her, deciding that phasing is useless right now, she instead dodged the attack and kicked his chest making Dracula stumble, not letting up Kitty throws a punch to Dracula's stomach making him grunt in pain. Dracula tries to backhand Kitty but she phases avoiding any damage. That's when it occurred to her, she can't phase through the sword, but she can phase through Dracula himself. Why this is, she doesn't know. She'll have to figure that out later. Though it is time to take advantage of this, with that Kitty jump kicked Dracula in the face, she then tries to punch him but he dodges and tries to kick her stomach but she phases, Dracula then slashed down at her but Kitty rolled away, she then ran to Dracula jumped, decreasing her molecules to speed her up dodging Dracula's sword, she then becomes solid and lets herself drop kicking Dracula in the face making him stumble. Kitty one again charges and tries to attack but Dracula dodges and swings at her head, she dodges, but Dragula is now wise to her and just as she ducked Kitty is kicked in the cheek with his foot sending her away.

Janus runs up to Kitty, "I told you to leave him to me, he is mine to kill," he growled at Kitty.

"Yeah, and look how that is working for you," Kitty said as she got up, "You certainly weren't complaining when I drop kicked him and gave you that opening. Look if we want to beat him then we have to work together," Kitty said getting a growl from Janus, "You want to be the king don't you. Then let me help."

Janus was silent for a moment contemplating until finally he answered, "Fine Katerina, we will work together," he growled as if the prospect angered him.

"Now listen all you need to do is get him on the ground, after that I'll take it from there. Ok," Kitty said

"Alright," Janus said

"Ok, then let's move," Kitty said as she an Janus separated to do there own parts of the plan.

Janus charged his father again slashing his sword down, but Dracula parried it, then swung his sword horizontal which Janus dodged, the prince then swung vertical right but it was blocked. This is how it was for a while swords clashing, neither getting a strike on the other until Dracula was able to get a slash on Janus's arm making him grunt in pain, taking his advantage, Dracula kicked Janus in the chest sending him to the ground. Dracula then speeds toward Janus and goes to cut off his head, but Janus was just able to turn to black mist and evade the attack. Janus then moved behind his father, quickly transforming back to himself and then stabbed his father in the back making Dracula scream in pain. Janus, then pulled his sword out from his father and tries to behead him, but Dracula ducked, he then sweep kick Janus to the ground, and pounced on him, Janus however rolled out of the way. This was the opening that was needed, just then two arms grabbed Dracula's wrists and pulled his arms down through the ground to the shoulder, "WHAT," Dracula said shocked at what just happened, Janus himself is shocked as well.

Just then Kitty rose up from the ground, "Well would you look at that it worked," Kitty said, she then looked back at Janus, "See, I told you teamwork would work."

Janus frowned at the remark, but when he looked at his father bound and helpless, he couldn't help but feel satisfaction, "Well father, it looks like that I have you at my mercy. Finally, after all these years, I can be rid of you. A new age for the vampires is arriving father, and you are unfit to lead them," Janus said

Hearing this Dracula laughed, realizing that he was beat, "Perhaps I was bested today, but it wasn't by you Janus. Remember this son, you needed help from this girl because you weren't strong enough to face me alone. A piece of parting advice my son, a leader must always be careful of who they ally themselves with. That ally may seem to be an ally but while it appears they are helping they are inevitably planning the leader's destruction. I'd be careful around Katerina Janus, she is not all that she appears," Dracula said making Kitty tense at Dracula's accusation. The two locked eyes for a moment, and that's when she knew that Dracula knew, he knew her plan, or at least part of her plan. The betraying Janus part he definitely knew whether he knows the rest she doesn't know. What she has to do is prepare.

"You dare to accuse Katerina of treachery. She is mine father, no one else's," Janus said

"Yours," Dracula said laughing, "She's not yours Janus, you are just too blind not to realize that. You wish for something that can never be and that very thing you wish is being used against you, to manipulate you. Oh, son you truly are a disgrace," Dracula continues to laugh which fuels Janus's anger, then with a rage filled cry, Janus swings his sword at Dracula.

The vampire lord's head falls from his shoulders and rolls over to Kitty who picks it up and looks at it, "Not so scary now, are you tough guy," she said as she looked at the head of Dracula. She then looked at Janus who bit into the neck of a headless Dracula sucking the blood there was. Once he was done, Kitty walked over to Janus, "Whew I tell ya, I've been in a lot of fights, but this one had to be one of the toughest. I swear, I need another bubble bath after this."

Janus however didn't answer, he was currently contemplating on what his father said to him, "Katerina," Janus said

"Yes Janus," Kitty answered

Janus turned around, walked up to Kitty and looked at her, "You are mine," Janus said or questioned

"Of course, I am. Who's else would I be," Kitty responded

Janus narrowed his eyes at Kitty then in a flash he has Kitty by her throat and slammed her against the wall making her grunt in pain, "You are mine Katerina. No one else's. Anyone who tried to take you from me, I will kill them. Now I will ask again are you Katerina," Janus demanded

Kitty gasped trying to take a breath, "Don't let what your father said get to you, my love. He is just trying to get to you, and what better way than to get in between us. I belong to you and only you. You know this, if you let your father get in between us, then he will have won in the end. Do you want that?"

Janus then thinks for a moment, he then releases Kitty making her gasp, trying to catch her breath, "No, I don't. You're right Katerina, I mustn't let my father get the better of me. Especially now," Janus said

After catching her breath Kitty smirked, "Yes, especially now, Lord Janus, king of the vampires," Kitty said making Janus smirk at his triumph over his father. "And when we get married, I will become the vampire queen. Ohhh, I really like the sound of that."

Janus then looked down at Kitty menacingly, "Know thins Katerina, you may be my queen but you belong to me. The power that you do have I allow you to have, I can easily take everything I give from you. Do you understand your place Katerina," he said

It took everything Kitty had not togive Janus a sarcastic retort, "I understand," she said

After that Janus turned around and began to walk off, "I must start the final preparations, I'll have the servants notify you when it is time," Janus said

"Right, I guess it's time for me to get ready for my wedding," Kitty said, 'And to get ready for your death,' she thought.

Sanctum Sanctorum

Peter was standing in one of the rooms in the Sanctum Sanctorum he was still grieving at losing Kitty. Memories of them together just keep playing in his head from their passionate moments to them just laying on his bed cuddling each other. They were just supposed to go to a Halloween Party, to have fun, be with each other, and that is what was happening until Dr. Strange, the vampires, and the Howling Commandos showed up, then Peter and Kitty find themselves in this situation. In this mess. Just then Dr. Strange approaches Peter, however Peter pays him no mind, he just doesn't care anymore.

"Peter," Dr. Strange said but he didn't get a reaction from the boy. In all the time that Strange has known Peter, he has never seen him like this, so…so defeated. Right now, he looks like his age, a teenager, this is one of the moments when Strange remembers that Peter is a teenager, and not just Peter, but Kitty too. They're not the only ones either, right now there is a school and an academy filled with teenagers, some are part of this life, and others getting ready to join. Sometimes it makes Dr. Strange wonder just what they are all thinking, letting kids enter this life. It doesn't matter what you're trying to prove or if it's for the great or good, children don't belong here, they never did. "Peter, listen to me, I know that you are going through a hard time now. I can't even imagine how you feel."

"You're right, you can't imagine how I feel right now. You can never imagine it, not unless you go through the same thing," Peter said

"Peter," Dr. Strange said

"Save it, I'm not going. If you want to go then that's your choice," Peter said

"We need as many people as we can get. We need you Peter, we need Spider-Man. We can still stop this, we can still save Kitty," Strange said

Immediately Peter stood up, "NO WE CAN'T STRANGE, WE CAN'T WIN THIS," Peter said as he walked up to Strange and stopped in front of him. "THIS ISN'T LIKE ONE OF THOSE TIMES WHERE WE CAN PULL A MIRACLE OUT OF OUR HAT. THIS ISN'T LIKE SOME FUCKING COMIC BOOK WHERE THE GOOD GUYS ALWAYS WIN. THIS IS REALITY, AND THE REALITY IS THAT WE LOST, DRACULA HAS THE LAST TWO PIECES OF THE VAMPYR TABLET, THERE IS NO STOPPING THE CEREMONY. AND THERE'S NO SAVING KITTY, SHE IS TURNING INTO A VAMPIRE AND IS GONNA MARRY JANUS, SHE'S GONNA BE HIS WIFE. WE'VE LOST STRANGE, IT'S OVER, HOPELESS , IT'S…," but before Peter could continue, he is suddenly punched in the face and sent to the ground.

"Over, hopeless," a familiar rough, and gruff voice said as Peter was then picked up by the person and slammed into the wall. Getting his senses back Peter looked to see Logan was the one who has him, and looking at his face, Peter can tell that Logan is pissed, like he's ready to kill someone, "Is that what you said kid? IS IT!"

"Logan, what are you," Peter asked

"Answer the question Parker, NOW," Logan demanded

"What question," Peter asked

"Do you think it's hopeless? WELL," Logan said

"Yes, I do. I do think so, because it is," Peter said

"How dare you," Logan said, he then threw Peter on the ground, and walked over to him, "I'd never thought that you of all people would give up."

"Well I have, there's no point. What's the point in fighting a battle that we can't win," Peter said

"AND SINCE WHEN DID THAT STOP YOU? SINCE WHEN DID THE ODDS STOP YOU," Logan said

"Since I found out that my girlfriend had been bitten by the prince of vampires. Since I found out that she was gonna marry that bastard and become his wife. Since she left me on the ground and followed him. I'm done, the world is finished, and Kitty is gone," Peter said

Logan picked up Peter by the scruff of his shirt and held him in the air, "You're wrong, we can still win this, we can save the world and WE CAN SAVE KITTY," Logan said

"NO, WE CAN'T," Peter said in response to that Logan punched Peter to a wall, he then speeds over to Peter and punches him in the stomach making him bend over.

Logan then grabs Peter again and slams him against the wall, "I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M HEARING THIS FROM YOU. WHEN WE WERE TRAINING KITTY WOULD TALK ABOUT YOU TWO ALL THE TIME. WHERE YOU WENT, WHAT YOU DID TOGETHER, HOW MUCH YOU LOVED EACH OTHER. AND YOU KNOW WHAT I BELIEVED IT, I ACUALLY DID. BUT IT LOOKS LIKE I WAS WRONG, IT LOOKS LIKE KITTY WAS WRONG. YOU DON'T LOVE HER. YOU DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT HER," Logan said

When Logan said that, Peter got pissed and showed it by double kicking Logan away, making him crash against and destroy a couch. Peter then started walking toward Logan, "HOW DARE YOU, I LOVE KITTY MORE THAN ANYTHING. SHE IS MY ENTIRE FUCKING LIFE. I WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR HER," Peter said

"THEN FIGHT FOR HER," Logan said as he got up and approached Peter.

"YOU DON'T THINK THAT I DON'T WANT TO. I DO WANT TO, BUT I CAN'T, BECAUSE THE ONLY WAY TO TURN KITTY BACK IS BY JANUS TO RELEASE HER. BUT HE WON'T HE WON'T RELEASE HER. JANUS WILL DIE AND HAVE KITTY TURN, THEN TO RELEASE HER. IF THERE WAS SOME OTHER WAY TO SAVE HER, THEN I WOULD," Peter said angry, his face then became subdued, "But there isn't, there isn't a way to bring her back. If there was some other way, then I would do it in a heartbeat. But there isn't Logan," Peter said

"But there is a way," Blade's voice said making Peter turn toward the entrance to see him there.

"What," Peter asked

"There is a way to turn her back," Blade said

"Are you serious," Peter asked, not believing what the vampire hunter is saying.

Blade nodded, "I am, S.H.I.E.L.D. has been working on it for quite some time. It's actually thanks to the Avengers that we were able to discover it," he said

"You're really serious. You have a cure to vampirism," Peter asked

"As long as she hasn't fully transformed, we can save her. The first version helped cure Black Widow when she was transforming. Since then, S.H.I.E.L.D. has taken that and has refined it. This cure is much more effective than the first version. It can save her," Blade said

"I can't believe it," Peter said

"Well believe it Webs. The only question is, what are you gonna do? Are you gonna stay here, sulk, and do nothing, or are you gonna go out there and fight for your girl," Logan said

Just then Peter's face becomes one of determination, "Alright, let's go save the world, and Kitty," Peter said getting smiles from the men inside at seeing the fire back in Peter's eyes.
