Chapter Nine

Meanwhile, Vali was being held captive in the dungeon at the castle in the Bermuda Triangle.

The castle's position took advantage of sheer cliffs, three hundred feet high, on seaward sides. The stone curtain wall provided extra strength with the addition of six round towers at even intervals. The gateway consisted of battlements protected and flanked by two half-circular towers that lead to the inner bailey. The keep was located on the west side where the wall was thickest. The building stood one hundred feet tall with a flat roof and four towers. There were several windows along its length. The corners had ornate rounded moldings.

Vali woke to find her arms and legs shackled to a chair. She attempted to break herself free, but she couldn’t muster any strength. She glanced around to find she was in a stone-walled room with an iron door.

The sound of a key being inserted into the metal lock was heard with the audible click of the lock being opened. The iron door screeched open as the silhouette of a man stood in the entryway.

Vali instinctively knew the person standing before her. “You’re not taking over my body. I’ll die before that happens,” Vali struggled with her bindings.

“Now, my dear little vamp-princess, I have no aim for your body. That was never my intention when I attacked.” A suave English voice spoke

He rocked on his heels, unsure if he should enter the room. She could tell he wore a white lab coat.

“What do you mean, Victor Frankenstein? All my life my father has hidden me from you. Are you saying that was all a lie?” Vali gritted her teeth as her anger slipped into her speech.

“Don’t forget to add Doctor. I didn’t spend all those years in medical school for nothing. And no, it wasn’t a lie. He believed in something that was never true, to begin with. Vladimir was merely—”

“Don’t you dare speak my father’s name!” Her voice resounded and vibrated throughout the narrow room.

“My apologies. Your father merely believed in something that he felt convenient—to make the loss of his wife and friends bearable.”

“So then why? Why did you do what you did? Why did you continue to track and hunt us all these years?”

“I needed information. I had to find it.” Dr. Frankenstein clenched his fist in front of him.

“And what is it?”

“The Key.”

“How do you know about it?”

“From Alexander’s parents—Take and Eleanor, of course.”

“They died in the explosion.”

“I brought them back. They obey me now. How do you think the Hunters organization was destroyed? I did it with the help of his undead parents.”

“You turned his parents into the undead and then used them to destroy their families and friends. Unbelievable! You’re a monster.”

“No, my dear, your kind are the monsters. I’m a visionary. I did all this for humanity. To find a path to immortality.”

“How does any of what you’ve done bring immortality?”

“My research has found a way to bring the dead back to life. I was able to create life from just pieces of mismatched human body parts.
