VERY VERY IMPORTANT
I am basing this fan fiction off the book Vampire Hunter D, not the movies or series (Don't worry same characters, same plot …everything I swear!..accept…)…this may cause some confusion as to a specific term used in the book, differing from the term used in the movie. The term for half vampire and half human is spelt DHAMPIR in the book. That is what I am using. Also, some of the characters have different characteristics…well..only one that I am aware of...Doris Lang…in the book she has long black flowing hair. I was informed that in the movie, she had short blonde hair…I am very sorry if I have confused you even more….i apologize for the inconvenience… and you may throw rotten tomatoes at me.
enjoy!-
thank you very much! Christi!
The sun was just setting. The sky was painted with pinks and reds, and golds, all fading into the deep color blue, which supplied the Village below with stars. A stedy wind blew, rustling all of the trees in May Village.
This village was quite small, and very quiet. This was because of the woods surrounding its entirety. No one dared venturing off into these woods , for they belonged to one of the nobles, one of the most high and ancient vampires. Even in daylight, the only travelers ever daring enough to take this risk were only hunters.
In the Village bar, sat two men, amongst many others, who were drunk, or ranting. These two men however, were on some sort of business conference. One man wore a button down white shirt with khaki pants. He had white hair and a white beard. He sat with a cane at his side, and looked to be in his early sixties. The other man, wore all black. He had long black hair, that hung below his chin, and wore a wide hat, covering most of his face from eyesight. In some peoples perspective, they might call him beautiful. He sat with a long sword around his back, and looked to be in his twenties.
"I assume you do realize the cost of this…considering you used to be one." The youth spoke in a monotone voice. The old man shook his head. "Listen…" The old man started, trying to peak under the young mans hat to look him in the eye; no use. " I know the hunter's code. I know they only stick to hunting their prey, and that is strictly it…"
The youth shifted in his seat. "Ill pay you double the amount…if you bring my daughter back." The man said putting a mouth gaping amount of money onto the table. The man in black looked down at the money, then back up at the man. His red eyes stared into the bloodshot brown of the old man's. "If you want my guarantee of your daughters safety, you will pay me triple." The youth spoke with no emotion.
The old man's eyes lit up, and at the same time he smiled at the young hunters spunk.. He hadn't any hope the hunter would even accept bringing her back, in what ever condition he wanted. A vampire hunter strictly kept to their code most of the time, never getting involved in a problem that was not theirs, unless it was the slaying of their pray, and had good money involved.
"Deal!" The man slapped more money on the table. The youth gathered it up, and counted it. "I will slay the thief, and bring your daughter back as I find her on my arrival." He looked back up at the old man with a sort of confused look. "tell me ex hunter….you don't mind asking for another to do your work? Even with a hunter's sense of pride?" He asked.
The old man sighed. To have another hunter do your work, was considered humiliating, weather you were wounded or old, which in this case the man was both. "I have put aside my foolish pride. I ask you now, to go save my daughter, and slay the noble that has taken her from me." The old man said bowing his head.
"Curious…how was a hunter like you able to have a wife?" The young man in black asked out of character. The man chuckled. I was traveling and met her. We started to talk and well it just happened. Id say the only reason why she married me was because she fell in love with another Vampire hunter she said she couldn't have. I guess the my job is what attracted her, or reminded her of him." The man said.
The youth stood up from the table placing the money in his pocket. The old man called out to him. "By the way, my name is…."
"Miles Clear." The youth finished for him. "I have heard about you and your accomplishments." The youth said looking back over his shoulder to the man. "And you are D….aren't you…..I have heard about you too……you're a dhampir aren't you?" The old man asked. The vampire hunter known as D looked strait back ahead, and started to head for the door. "My wife told me all about you…."
D stopped dead in his tracks. What was this man talking about. He couldn't possibly mean…..
D looked back at the man, then back at the door, and walked out of the bar.
The hunter looked up at the deep blue night sky, then mounted his horse. He took off, heading for the entrance of the woods, for that vary same noble who owned the woods, had kidnapped the ex hunters daughter.
D never looked back as he rode closer and closer to the entrance, thinking to himself. "Why the hell did you take that job! she's dead no doubt!" came a strange voce from a little it below his head. "good money…..now quiet." D muttered. "You just took it because you think its that spunky girls daughter didn't you?"
"Quiet!"
Aera looked out the window of the castle. It had been five months since she had been outside, and she knew, she may never step foot out there again.
All of these sad girl's thoughts disappeared, when she was distracted from the loud lock of the door, and the noise of the oak door opening. In walked the noble, Count Darious. He was dressed in all black, his blond hair slicked back, his red eyes examining the beauty that stood before him.
"Good evening my lord." Aera said gloomily, bowing to him. The Vampire stood there still, examining her. He took in her beautiful long blond hair, her slender figure, and then stopped when a little bulge of her belly caught his eye. He smiled ecstatically, revealing his sharp pearly fangs, and walked over, placing his right hand over her stomach.
"Wonderful." The condemned creature said to himself. He looked at Aera who looked away. The vampire noticed her unhappiness. "Woman, you should be proud to bare my child…especially being a human." He said looking at her neck, brushing away her hair. "I shall keep you a human for the child's sake….but one bite would not hurt…." Count Darious said opening his mouth to sink his fangs into her neck.
A sound of a woman clearing her throat prevented this bloodthirsty creature from indulging such wants. Count Darious looked up to see his wife Sarah, who did not look at all amused. Her black hair hung just below her waist, and her log flowy red dress reflected off the mood she was in. her pale face showed anger and jealousy.
The count stood up, and left the room, leaving Aera and Sarah alone. Aera sat down on her bed fiddling with her off white skirt. She watched as Sarah looked around her stone room.
It was a pleasant room, for being a vampires slave and plaything. It had windows, and heating. The floors were mad of a gray stone, as the walls were too.
"I can see you are with child…" Sarah hissed. "….yes ma'am." Aera answered. "How many moth?" She asked trying to keep c calm tone. "Five." Aera replied. Sarah growled.
This woman hated Aera. She even disliked her husband for what he had done.
Sarah marched out of the room, and down the dark dank misty halls of the castle. She arrived in the dining area to find her husband sitting at the mahogany table, looking out the window.
"She is with child…5 months!" Sarah yelled in rage. "I know…it's wonderful." The count exclaimed. "How dare you do this!" Sarah yelled. In a flash, the noble stood up from the table, and slapped his wife across her face. "HOW DARE YOU TELL ME WHAT TO DO AND WHAT NOT TO DO! THIS IS MY CASTLE!" he roared. "I need a child that is half…and you obviously can't give me one now can you? That woman shall bare my dhampir child, and you shall see how my plan will work. Now go to your room!" he yelled.
Sarah started to walk off teary eyed, when she heard his voice again. "And don't go near Aera….ever."
