Dr. Stein stared in horror from the forest as his castle
burned in the distance, red eyed vampires whooped and hollered with gleeful
rage. “Doctor…we..must…go..” A deep raspy mumbled from behind him as strong
arms lifted him from the ground gently. The Doctor bared his sharpened teeth in
frustrated anger as tears began to fall from his face. “No, not yet Taryn. Let’s
give those filthy bloodsuckers something the whoop about!” Dr. Stein said as he
pulled a strange looking gun from his bag and shot a pulsating bolt into the
air over the flaming castle. The bolt exploded in a crackling green and purple
nimbus of energy, hitting several rods in the ground. The vampires paused in
their celebratory chants and stared as the several huge humanoid figures
erupted from the ground. Grimy mud caked on their mottled blue-green skin, as
the moonlight shone the bolts in their necks and backs. Their eyes sparked
green and blue as they bellowed at the now hissing vampires, their thick muscle
bulging and ripping through the stitching in some places. The vampires drew
weapons and launched themselves at the stitched together monstrosities, only to
be broken by huge hands. One of the creations with the enlarged head of a
crocodile snapped its powerful jaws down on a vampires torso, causing it to
explode in a flurry of cinder and ash, as another creation with a large
lightning for an hand fired rippling bolts of energy into the vampires. Dr. Stein
watched with proud tearful eyes. “Sorry my children, it looks as if I will not
be able to perfect you after all…but you’ve made papa proud.” Taryn lifted the
shifted the Doctor in his arms, and then took off towards the boats.
Mikael glared at the unnatural abominations with disgust, as
his general prattled to his servants. His regal silver armor shone as his ivory skin seemed to glow in the
moonlight. “My prince, we must go. The Elders have declared an immediate
council meeting!” His general, Amelie, said as she gripped his arm. Mikael
whipped his head toward her, his platinum blonde hair shining in the moonlight
as his eyes burned red. “WHAT? How did the council find out? Damn it all!! They’ll
have my fangs for this…tell the troops to fight ‘til the death. Tell them that
reinforcements are on their way! Hopefully those disgusting creations of the
Doctor slay them all.” He hissed as he turned sharply and headed for the
carriage, his white fur lined cloak snapping with the movement.
Karden overheard the vampire prince from his perch in the tree;
he smiled wickedly, his masters at the wolf court would be glad to hear this.
He launched himself from the treetop when the vampires had gone and shifted in
midair, lush brown fur sprouted from his skin as a thick ropy tail grew from
the base of his spine, and his hands and feet grew into calloused pink paws
with black claws. He slunk silently into the night.
