Disclaimer: I do not own Van Helsing. Darn!!!
Author's Note: This is my first attempt writing a movie fiction. I mostly write anime fics, but I thought it was time to expand my horizons. This idea was actually one that I got the first time I saw Van Helsing. For all the Van Helsing aka Hugh Jackman fans out there, I am certain that this fiction will not be your favorite. With all that said, I hope you all enjoy it anyway. One other thing, if you have not seen the movie, then it would not be advisable to read this fiction.
Tears of a Princess
With the antidote in her hand, Anna ran up the stairs to the tower where she knew that Van Helsing was engaged in battle with Dracula. He had become a werewolf after getting bitten by her brother Velkan. Was it fate that allowed Van Helsing to become a wolf, or was it destiny? Was he meant to kill Dracula all along? Her mind rambled with these questions. Right now there was no time to think. She had to get the antidote to Van Helsing before the stroke of midnight or else he would remain a werewolf forever. There was no way Anna was going to let that happen to the man that she had grown to love. Anna knew that she had to save him, no matter what. As she burst into the room, she saw the wolf looming over the remains of Dracula. He had done it! She rejoiced silently because now her family could continue their immortal journey. However, there was one task that still needed to be completed.
"Twelve!" Anna yelled as she ran towards the wolf with the syringe poised to strike. All of a sudden the werewolf turned and swiped her once with his massive paw. She flew through the air and crashed onto the sofa with a loud thud. After regaining her senses, she found that she did not have the syringe in her hand. She looked down and saw the syringe was broken and its contents oozing out onto the floor. She looked and noticed the werewolf was busy making work of the remainders of the machines that had been used to bring Dracula's children to life. As Anna sat up from the couch she heard a familiar voice.
"Van Helsing, Anna." The voice called as it grew louder. Carl rushed through the door, the silver stake in his hand. Anna wasn't the only one who noticed that Carl was in the room.
"Anna, where's Van Helsing?" Carl asked. No sooner did he say that then the werewolf sent him flying through the air. He landed near Anna and she rushed to help Carl.
"I thought the antidote would have taken affect by now." Carl said as he sat up and rubbed his head. He looked at Anna who was staring at the werewolf. He was busy sharpening his claws getting ready for the kill. Something was definitely wrong. Van Helsing was not transforming back into his human form. Anna had plenty of time to get the antidote to Van Helsing, so then why was he still in his werewolf form? Carl was just about to ask Anna that question, when he turned and saw the broken syringe.
"Anna, we have to before he kills us." Carl said as he looked at the silver stake in his hand.
"Carl, I can't. I cannot kill Van Helsing." Anna said trying to hold back the tears forming in her eyes.
"Anna, do you remember what Van Helsing told us before we went to find the antidote. He did not want to be stuck in this form because he knew that he would not be able to control his killer instincts and he would probably end up killing someone that he loves. I know he will understand why we have to do this." Carl replied. Deep down in her heart, she knew it was the right thing to do, but she could not find the strength to destroy the last thing in her life that she loved so much.
"Anna we must do it now!" Carl exclaimed.
"Carl, please give me the stake. If one of us has to kill Van Helsing, let the person he loves be the one to do it." Anna stated as a tear slipped quietly from her eye. Carl realized than Anna was in love with Van Helsing and that Van Helsing was in love with Anna. She then took the stake from Carl's hand and held it in her own. Anna gazed at Van Helsing one final time before she ran to the werewolf; the stake aimed directly at his heart.
