The hazy moon peaked over the tree canopy. A cloud of mist wrapped around the forest like a snake. The trees erected in the moonlight, casting eerie shadows. A stunning sight…
But as striking as it was...
It scared her.
She was walking down the forest path. Her heart was racing, virtually hammering against her chest. The wind picked up, sending icy chills down her back. She looked around, searching for a way out of the woods. Her breathing quickened, arms wrapping around herself from the cold. The woods creaked and moaned.
The sounds made her heart jump. Her pace quickened, body shaking. She looked around once more. A bitter wind plowed into her, pushing her farther down the path. She closed her eyes for a brief moment.
When she opened them again, she found herself surrounded by trees. Her heart stopped when she saw what they looked like.
The trees were monstrous, with sinister grins. Large, pitch black, holes bore into them for eyes. She tried to scream, but nothing came out. A tree branch shot out of the thicket, reaching for her like a twisted hand. The girl dodged the branch, running through the forest. The trees all began to reach for her.
She sprinted, barely escaping the branches that darted after her. They chased her into a clearing, surrounded by wicked looking vines. Just as she was running, a vine curled out from the ground, tripping her. She cried out as she hit the ground. She let out a whimper as she struggled to get back up.
Once she balanced herself, she discovered that the trees were gone. She stood in a clearing, illuminated by the light of the moon. The vines had built a dome around the clearing, mimicking a large birdcage.
She frantically looked around, hoping there was some way out.
There was not.
Instead, she saw a shadow. The figure was that of a human. The person was tall, and shrouded by the night. Something about it made her quiver. It did not speak.
Without a word, it lifted its hand, beckoning her. She remained in her place, terrified. What happened next made her blood run cold. Her body levitated off the ground, feet barely touching the grass. She gasped as her body moved forward. It was like she was frozen, unable to move a muscle.
She stopped moving, now standing before the dark figure. Fear was rolling off her skin. She attempted to take a step back, but the moment she did, she found herself being crushed against the person`s chest. Arms wrapped around her tightly constricting.
She identified him as a male. He was cold. His chest was rock hard. He was strong.
She could not escape.
Her body went numb again.
Frozen in place.
The man lifted her chin up, forcing her to look him in the eyes.
His eyes… They were focused and cold, almost glowing.
His lips parted, he spoke.
"You cannot escape me, my dear…" His voice sent shivers down her spine. "You are mine…"

Mina awoke with a start, gripping at her chest. A cold sweat gave a glistening sheen over her pale skin. Her eyes were wide and blood shot. Her night gown stuck to her skin. A cold breeze chilled her to the bone.
She panted, soon catching her breath. Mina pulled some strands of her from her face, moving them to the side. She pulled the bed sheet over her body, trying to insulate herself. She rolled to her side, knees drawn up to her chest.
'More nightmares…' Mina thought. 'Just a bad dream…' She told herself. She closed her eyes, nuzzling her cheek against the pillow. There was dim light outside. She wanted to rest a little longer.
'Rest', she told herself, 'don`t dream.'
Van Helsing is probably one of my favorite movies of all time. I have loved it for such a long time and I finally decided to write a fan story for it.
Updates will be every Thursday.
I do not own any trademarked characters. My OCs are my OCs, do not use without permission.
