Death is Certain
A/N: Hi! This is me, the author, Elwyndra! Yes, this is my first fanfic for the movie Van Helsing! I know some parts may be boring but I just have to make the story clear! Anyways, I present to you Death is Certain! (By the way, this fanfic has been edited quite a lot until chapter fourI think!)
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Van Helsing or any of the characters in it! I DO own Sivishya and Vacharise and all the other characters I made though!
Chapter One – Recognition
Sivishya Dragonite sat high on the roof of the Valerious Manor, her eyes darting to and fro, almost desperately. A dark lock of her hair fell down, covering her eyes but she didn't bother. The sky above was murky, making her heart feel darkly. Her boots scraped some of the dirt on the dirt. Dark green orbs watched the villagers go on with their business.
Ever since Dracula and his brides were gona, her heart had filled with happiness. Mostly for her friend, Anna Valerious, which Sivishya had known all her life in her childhood. She had not seen the Princess of Gypsies anymore but she thought Anna was alright... Until she heard the news about Anna's death. It had been rumored that a werewolf had killed her bestfriend, but there had also been something about a Monster Hunter. Rage had boiled in Sivishya when she heard it. She hoped she would catch the werewolf, maybe the monster hunter. Still, she was happy for the Valerious Family. They were free.
Her eyes scanned for Van Helsing and she bit her lips bitterly. She had gotten no answer from him for years... She guessed that Van Helsing might, must have helped Anna in killing Dracula and his brides. But what Sivishya didn't understand was why he had not come to meet her. Van Helsing could have met her. He had known she was here from the beginning. But he had not. He decided not to come for her. It was as if she was truly forgotten...
Sivishya gave a irritated groan and leaped off the roof of the Valerious Manor, carefully trying not to slip and fall to her death. Her hand caught the branch of a nearby tree and she caught it with both hands. Then she landed on her feet like a cat, her boots landing softly on the ground.
"Aunt Sivishya!"
A little girl with black, messy hair, wearing a blue, dirty dress came running at Sivishya. The girl hugged Sivishya and she smiled, her eyes lighting up. She kneeled down and hugged the girl. The little girl was still around five years old but even then, Sivishya thought, she had become a really big girl.
"Natalie! What are you doing here? Is my brother here!" Sivishya cried happily, letting go of her brother's child and held the girl up into the air. The girl, Natalie, gave a cry of joy and swung her hands wildly into the air, as if she was a bird trying to fly. Natalie giggled and nodded her head in answer to her Aunt.
Sivishya caught a glimpse of her grown brother, Vacharise Dragonite, walking through the forming mist. He was carrying about two bit cases in his hands and a Sivishya saw two pistols strapped on his belt, most likely safety for his child. Sivishya gave a gasp of suprise and then softly let Natalie on the ground.
He had become much more handsome than before and Vacharise had the same locks of black hair on him, with narrow eyes and a long nose. He had grown quite handsome indeed.
"Vacharise? Wha-! What are you doing here?" Sivishya shouted with shock, her thick Transylvanian accent sounding through. She saw her brother walk closer towards her with a wide grin on his face.
"Hey, Siv! Thought I'd have a visit to our home, you know. So you too, huh?" Vacharise said and grinned. Sivishya smiled but her eyes quickly noticed the deep, long scar on her brother's left eye. Had something happened to Vacharise while she was gone?
Natalie shouted delightfully and ran for her father's legs, hugging them.
"Natalie, please!" Vacharise said as he set the cases down onto the ground and caught her, pulling her onto his strong shoulder.
My brother has a family, has a future... But I… Sivishya thought sadly and yet again bit her lips.
"Hey I'll carry one of the cases! Come on, let's go the house!" Sivishya shouted, smiling and grabbed for one of the cases before Vacharise can protest. Vacharise sighed and smiled.
"Oh alright, if you insist. So how are you, Siv? How are you feeling?" Vacharise asked and Sivishya's expression, for a moment, darkened. Then her eyes immediately lit up again and then Sivishya smiled weakly at her brother. Her caring, loving brother who always loved her for whoever she was.
"I'm... alright, I guess. I feel just a bit, thing, that's all. How about you, brother?" Sivishya said, averting the topic to her brother instead. She didn't want her brother to know... yet.
"Oh, nothing, really." Vacharise too gave a weak smile and Sivishya's eyes narrowed rather suspiciously. He was definetely hiding something... What is it?
"Daddy, daddy!" Natalie cried and pointed to the old, dark house. It was made out of black steel and metal and it loomed just right next to the Valerious Manor. It glistened magnificently and seem to lure the three towards it.
Sivishya, Vacharise and Natalie walked up the hill and then towards the ancient house of the Dragonite Family. In front of the black, sleek door was the chisled picture of a dragon and snake, curled around each other, heads pointing up at sky.
Sivishya stepped forward, putting down the case for a moment and pulled out the key to the house. She slotted the key into the hole and turned it. There was a click and the door opened with a loud creak. Along with the creak was a loud roar from inside, as if a dragon was inside the house, waiting for prey. Then the roar stopped.
"Come on, let's go!" Sivishya said and opened the door wider for Vacharise and Natalie to get in. She grabbed for the case and then went in. Natalie looked around, wide eyed with interest as Vacharise also shot a suprised look at his sister. "Does the house still do that?" Sivishya nodded with a amused smile.
"Yes, it still does it! It hasn't changed one bit!" she laughed. Vacharise put Natalie down on the ground and squealed happily, touching absolutely every shining thing in the place.
Sivishya and Vacharise both put down the large cases down near the large, shining stairs in front of them. They quickly walked towards the living room and Natalie followed, her brilliant blue eyes watching just about everything in the room.
