The Werewolf of Castlevania (Book 1)

I woke up slowly becoming aware that someone is carrying me. I open my eyes enough to see long golden locks. Lisa? No Alucard.

I groan rubbing my eyes as he sets me down on the ground "What happened?"

"Sypha thought it best to stop for the night" He sighs sitting down beside me. Trevor and Sypha have started a fire and now they were arguing about whether or not Alucard ate human food. I wonder how he feels about me after everything I told him.

Laughing I remember the ale I had bought in Gresit "Hey Trevor" I yell at the arguing humans.

"What do you want Charlie?" he snaps before going back to his argument. Damn, well I guess I am drinking alone. I grab one of the bottles of ale from my satchel. The argument stopped suddenly as I tip the bottle to make lips letting the alcohol burn my throat on the way down. That's exactly what I needed. I swear Trevor's jaw hit the ground at the sight of my bottle. I make sure to give a lasting sigh.

"Charlie" Trevor growls. I look up from the ale raising an amusing eyebrow at Trevor.

"Yes?

"Where did you get that?"

"Gresit, I got it right before we left with the leftover money." I get another draft of ale in before Trevor snatches the bottle from my hands. I growl at him and tackle him. Alucard chuckles as we wrestle for the bottle. I hear Sypha huff as I wrestle Trevor into a headlock.

"Give me my bottle damn it" I snarl tighten my grip. Trevor may be bigger and smell worse but I am stronger.

"Never" Trevor chuckles keeping the bottle out of my reach "You stole the money for the bottle so it's not really your bottle."

Damn he's such a meanie. I pout as I release him. "I told you I liberated that money. That puggy face bastard needed that money way less. Plus if memory serves me right I bought you breakfast after telling you that you owed me breakfast." Humph. I turn my back on the laughing man and sink down.

Trevor ruffles my hair as he chugs my ale. This asshole. Alucard laughs as I root around my bag for another bottle.

"What are you doing Charlie?" I flip him off and keep my bag grumbling "Charlie you are a strange girl." Alucard chuckles. I hate both of them. Ah ha. I finally found my second bottle. Yanking the top of I knock back the bottle.

After a while Sypha and Trevor fall asleep leaving Alucard and I to guard the camp. I sit there poking the fire. The full moon will be in two days and I have yet to figure a way to deal with it. Alucard knows but I know for sure that Trevor would kill me if he knew what I was.

"What are you thinking about?" Alucard's voice is so calm it seems to chase away all my fears.

"I was just thinking the full moon is in a few days and I don't know how to handle it. After everything we have all been through together in the short time I have known them it's hard to imagine what might happen. I don't want everything to end in a few days. Hell Trevor might kill me in a few days." My voice hitches up in my throat. I don't want to imagine the look he will give me when he sees me. Alucard ruffles my hair.

"He won't do that to you Charlie" Alucard whispers "I won't let him hurt you. When the full moon happens in a few days I'll be there to make sure that you don't hurt anyone or vise versa. So be happy."

Crack! What was that?! Alucard and I were instantly on guard. Alucard kicks dirt into the fire and I nudge Sypha and Trevor awake.

"What is it?" Trevor growls. Yep exactly like a bear.

"Something is in the undergrowth" I hissed, kicking him a little to make sure he's awake.

A low growl cut through the night air. Let's say Trevor was instantly awake. Alucard summons his sword and steps forward to meet the enemy. Sypha summons fire crouching by the wagon and Trevor climbs a tree leaving little old me a dagger in each hand. The demons break into view charging at us. There are at least ten in all several are flying demons. This is going to be an adventure.

Alucard draws a line in the dirt "No further demons." Seriously? That's what he says. It's so cheesy I would laugh if the situation wasn't so dangerous. They charge straight at him. He quickly dispatches them. More come from the sky but Trevor takes them out with his whip. A large fire breathing demon attacks the other three well I go fight another demon.

The fucking things tries to swipe me with its claws. I dodge to the left digging my blade into the demons' back as I ran by to fight the next one.

"Charlie watch out!" Sypha screams I turn to look at her

Then pain shoots through my back. I scream as a demon digs its claws into my back lifting me off the ground carrying me away. Holy shit this hurts. Snatching my dagger I stab it into the leg that holds my back. I am already about fifteen feet off the ground when it lets me go with a screech. The thing had carried me out of sight of the other. I really hate heights. I land on my feet at least. Fuck my back hurts that stupid demon.

Grrrrr! Oh shit! A huge demon that looks like the cross breed between a wolf and a crow and it charges straight at me. Fuck my life. Drawing a knife I run at it. It jumps into the air right before I can take a swing at it. The demon roars at me like two pieces of metal scraping. I answer it with my own growl.

"Get you ass down here so I can send you back to hell you fucken demon!" I howler at the bloody thing. I really think it understood me because it suddenly turns its head and attacks. I charge jumping up taking a swipe at it. Damn I missed.

"Ahhh" I scream in pain again as its claws rake my arm. Even with my fast healing this demon is causing a lot of damage to my body and I am experiencing a great deal of blood loss. I need to finish this now.

The demon dives at me. I dodge to the right jumping into the air and bury my dagger into the demon's back. Take that you stinking demon. With one final screech the demon falls dead, my dagger sticking out of its back. Shit, I have to breathe a sigh of relief, it's finally dead. I am sad my favorite jacket is torn and soaked in blood. And I'm lost.

"Fuck that demon!" I scream at the starry sky. I may be a werewolf and have a good nose but all my blood is covering all the other smells. And I have no sense of direction. I head in the direction I think the demon brought me from. Vampires have sharp ears so I could yell but it would also attract any demons that are around here. I deadpan. I am in a loss loss situation without booze because of that fucking Trevor Belmont. I shake my fist at nothing, this sucks.

"Hello there little wolfie" something hisses into my ear. I spin but there is nothing there. Maybe it was just my imagination. I wince as something drags down the cut on my back. Okay I know that I didn't imagine that. I only have one dagger left. I can't rely on my nose, whatever is out there fast to fast.

Something brushes past my arm yet again there is nothing there. Tsh, this isn't good.

"Show yourself. I know you're there you filthy demon." I snarl holding my blade ready to strike. If I am to die tonight I will die fighting.

"Awe adorable a little wolf willing to die. It's almost adorable" my enemy finally steps from the shadows and shows its teeth. Oh shit! A vampire. Unlike Alucard with his golden eyes and hair with his voice like a gentle stream this vampire's voice is like a snake he has red eyes and the way he looks at me like a piece of meat is putting me on edge.

He circles me prodding me like I'm livestock. Fuck no. Any time I swing at him he dodges it's really starting to piss me.

"You should become my pet. I haven't seen a werewolf in centuries and never a female" The vampire hisses causing shivers to run down my spine. "But I think Dracula will want to meet you first. You stink of Alucard. He will want to ask you questions."

I spit on the ground and swing at him with new determination "You can go shove it where the shine you filthy blood sucker. I will never tell you anything. Alucard is kind. I will die before I betray him" Tears are mixing with my blood as I throw myself into the fight. But the vampire only seems to be more amused as it dances around me. I'm letting my emotions run. I can feel my eyes change as the pain of transformation starts. Fuck!

"Now, now little wolf none of that." The vampire hisses in anger as its fist connects with my stomach and I cough up blood as everything goes dark.
