CHAPTER NINETEEN

We got out of the van and carried Alexander into the old school. Dracula stopped at the door and looked around.

“Something wrong?” I asked.

“It’s nothing. Just a feeling.”

“What kind of feeling?”

“Like someone was following us. Probably just paranoia. I’m not used to doing this sort of thing in full daylight.”

We tied Alexander to an old school desk, one of those with the chair connected to it. Dracula had clearly done this before. We tied his arms to his chest and his wrists together behind his back. The legs of the desk weren’t in line with his legs, so Dracula tied his ankles together.

Alexander was still out. We weren’t sure how long it would take before he woke up, but his pulse had slowed to normal. It was just a matter of time.

“So, what’s the plan?” I asked. “Yank out his fingernails? Poke him with your sword? Pour water down his throat? We could tickle torture him for hours.”

Dracula laughed. “We tell him the truth.”

“The truth? What kind of screwed-up interrogation technique is that?”

Dracula shrugged. “In my experience, the truth is more terrifying than any kind of torture.”

Lizzie huffed. “He’s a hunter. He’d rather commit to his biases than consider the truth.”

“My point exactly,” Dracula retorted. “That’s because the horror of what’s really going on will chill this Van Helsing to the bone. Besides, if we can put the sisters on his radar, perhaps we can use him.”

“Use him?” I raised an eyebrow. “Not after I wasted his friends.”

“He’ll still come after us. So will whatever friends he might have in the area. A hunter, a regular hunter, might take down a doe if given a shot. Not if a buck with a nice rack passes by first.”

I smiled. “The sisters do have nice racks.”

“They really do,” Dylan put in.

I stared daggers at him.

He chuckled. “You said it. I just agreed with you.”

I smirked. “All right. Well, if this goes sour, I’m going to say I told you so.”

“Oh, it will go sour,” Dracula assured me. “I don’t doubt that one bit. I don’t know about you, though. I’d rather deal with our enemies one at a time. If we can convince the hunters to turn their attention to the sisters, we’ll deal with them when this is over.”

“He’s right, Sienna.” Dylan rested a hand on my shoulder. “The sisters pose a bigger threat. Maybe not to us, but to the rest of the world.”

Alexander groaned and we turned our attention to him in unison. Dracula approached him.

“Alexander Van Helsing,” Dracula began. “It’s nice to be acquainted with your family again. It’s been too long.”

Alexander huffed. “You don’t mean that.”

Dracula shrugged. “Maybe I do. Maybe I don’t. The truth is, your ancestor, Abraham, made me more powerful.”

“What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger?” Alexander smirked.

“You look awfully smug,” I observed. “Considering the fact that we tied you up and your partners are dead.”

A smile split the Van Helsing’s face. “I have my reasons.”

“We are not going to kill you,” Dracula stated.
