Hello all, TravyMacNavy184 here. I decided to do a revamp of the Dhampir Twins. One of my friends read this and thought I could make it a little longer, which I am trying to do. I am going to make them longer by adding a few lines of dialogue and make some scenes a little longer than they were portrayed in the original game. So yeah, the first few chapters will be redone and made a little longer. So anyway, here is the first chapter of The Dhampir Twins. And before I forget, I own nothing except any and all original characters, everything else belongs to the respective owners of Bloodrayne.
The Dhampir Twins
Prologue
Remote village somewhere in the mountains of Europe 1933
It was a dark and cold night in the remote village, the streetlights were lit but not a soul was in sight. The buildings were adorned with crosses on their doors and windows and all the lights were out. The only thing that occupied the streets were various cars. From atop the roof of the village's church, three figures, all men one tall, one short by a few inches, and the final one was medium in height, trailing the taller one by a good inch, stood overlooking the street. They were wearing purple robes with their hoods up, hiding their faces.
"Tell me again. Why are we in a vampire ghetto after sunset?" the taller man asked in a demanding tone..
"Be patient, wait, watch." The shorter man answered.
Suddenly, their was life in the empty streets! Two people, a man and woman, were running through the streets. From the sweat they were protruding, they seemed to be running for their lives. They continued to run until the woman tripped. The man helped her back on her feet, until suddenly, a harpoon shot out of the alley behind the couple, wrapped around the mans neck, and pulled him into the alley. The man screamed in agony and the woman can only watch and listen in horror.
"These are the ones we have been watching." the medium man said
Finally, the screaming stopped and suddenly, the man's severed head came flying out of the alley and rolled to the woman's feet. The woman looked in horror at the decapitated head at her feet. "Well, well, well. What do we have here?" said a voice coming from the darkness of the alley. The woman heard footsteps approaching her. Suddenly, two figures emerged from the darkness. The figures were revealed to be a boy and a girl of American decent. Both were roughly the same age, roughly late teens, the same height with a fair skin complexion and light blue eyes. They also had shoulder length red hair, the girl's was straight while the boy's was scruffier in appearance. The girl was dressed in a black and red corset, skin tight matching pants, long finger-less gloves, and high heeled leather boots. She was armed with blades on her arms which were stained with the blood of the male victim. The boy was wearing a black long sleeved buttoned shirt with a red vest and black pants and black boots. He also wore a long black trench coat. He also held a Japanese katana with a gold guard and sheathed in a red scabbard. Both wore sadistic smiles on their faces, revealing their fangs.
"So who are these two?" The taller man asked his companions.
"The Baudelaire Twins, Rayne and Lucas. Born on September 20, 1915. Of the two, Rayne is the oldest by twelve minutes. Their father is a very powerful high ranking vampire noble named Kagan. He raped their mother and nearly drove her to the brink of insanity. She tried to escape with her children, but they didn't get very far. When they were five, their father tracked them down and killed not just her, but everyone on her side of the family, apparently this is standard procedure for any of his half blood children. He wants to make sure they have no one to turn to but him. That is until Professor Tremayne found them first. He took them in and raised them as his own, even taught them how to fight and defend themselves." The short man answered the tall man's question. "In terms of combat preferences, Rayne prefers close quarter combat, likes to get very close and personal. Her brother on the other hand, prefers more mid range combat, but can resort to close combat when he needs to. If memory serves." Finished the medium man.
"Regardless, we have no use for vampires in our ranks. This is a waste of time." The tall man pessimistically said.
"Not vampires, half vampires. All the strengths, fewer weaknesses."
At this point, the woman fell to her knees and started to weep. The twins approach the woman, never losing their smiles and stopped in front of the crying woman. They immediately sensed something was up, they looked at each other and nodded, at which point they readied their weapons, Rayne activating her arm blades while Lucas unsheathed his katana. Then the woman raised herself and hissed at the twins. She had darkened skin, white pupiless eyes, and fangs, and proceeded to strike at the twins, managing to get a hit in on the twin's faces. The twins began to fight with the now revealed vampire woman.
"Hmm, they picked a dangerous place to feed."
"They're hunting, looking for their father."
The vampire then pounced towards the twins. Rayne then performed a spin kick at the woman, knocking her to the ground. Lucas then ran towards her and delivered a kick to her face, further stunning her. Rayne then put a her foot on their targets back to keep her from getting up. As the vampire struggled to try and get free, Rayne then grabbed her left arm and twisted in causing her to cry in agony. Lucas then pointed his sword towards the downed vampire's throat. "Don't even think about trying anything funny whore." He said to her and shooting her an very angry glare.
"The Brimstone Society-" the taller man began.
"The Brimstone Society needs them." The shorter man interrupted.
"Yes, we will extend an invitation. Now come on, it's time to go." The medium man finished. The two robed men proceeded to leave the area, but not before the man left two necklaces on opposite ends of the cross on the roof of the church. As his companions were walking away, the medium man turned around at where the twins were fighting the vampire. "I hope this helps you two in finding what you are looking for." He said to himself and turned to join his companions.
Back to the twins, they continued their interrogation of their target. "Where is he bitch!." Rayne asked, applying more pressure to her arm, causing her to groan in pain. "Don't make this any harder for us or you. Just tell us where we can find him and maybe we'll make your death quick and painless." Lucas added.
The vampire just chuckled at their threats. "What the hell are you laughing about freak?" Rayne asked angrily. "Screw you you filthy half-breeds, you will both die and join your whore of a mother in Hell soon enough." She arrogantly said and proceeded to let out a ear shattering shriek. The twins knew she was calling for help of other vampires in the area. Rayne then stuck the blade on her right arm into the back of the vampire's head and lift her in the air. Rayne then let go of her and Lucas sliced her head off, ending the vampires cry for help, her blood slowly leaving her open neck wound and spilling out onto the street. Rayne then retracted her arm blades while Lucas wiped the blood of his sword using the woman's clothes before he sheathed his blade.
"Damn it all. She just had to go and do that, didn't she." Rayne said
"You think any other fang faced freaks heard that?" Lucas asked his sister.
They then heard shrieks similar to the one their target let out. The twins looked around and knew that more were on the way. "That answer your question?" Rayne asked sarcastically. "Come on we need to get out of here before they show up."
"Yeah, I much rather not fight any more than we already have, but not before leaving a little present for these freaks." He said with a sadistic smile as he reached into his coat and took out a grenade. He pulled the pin and dropped the grenade in a spin. "Come on, lets get to higher ground before that goes off." His twin sister nodded in agreement and the two jumped to the nearest rooftop, the closest being the church.
At this point five vampires burst out the surrounding buildings and found the decapitated corpses of their fellow vampires and started looking around for their killers. They heard a noise and converged on in, only to look down and see a spinning grenade. Three seconds later, the grenade detonated, killing the vampires.
The twins safely made it to the top of the roof of the church. They managed to avoid another fight with the vampires, but they were not very happy they had to kill their informant.
"Well, that was ultimately a waste of time. Months of tracking them and for what?" Rayne yelled out loud and walking back and forth around the roof top angrily.
"Rayne you need to calm down, getting angry won't help us here." Lucas said trying to calm his angry sister.
"You're right. You're right. Not helping." She said, throwing her hands up for emphasis. She began to calm down, even taking deep breaths. She then sat down on a corner of the roof to collect her thoughts.
"Well, our only lead to that bastard is now dead and now we are back to nothing."
"So, what do we do now?"
Lucas shook his head as he has no idea how to go about their situation when he noticed something on the nearby cross. "Hey, whats that over there?" he said pointing to the cross, causing Rayne to look at where he was pointing. They walked to the mysterious objects and examined them. The objects in question were silver necklaces with single red gemstones in the centers. What made these necklaces stand out was that they both had the Leviathan Cross embedded in the gemstones. The twins looked at each other and knew what this meant.
"Looks like we had an audience tonight." Rayne said taking the necklace off the cross.
"And the Brimstone Society no less." Added Lucas "I guess the Professor believes we earned a place in it's ranks."
"I don't know, I don't like the idea of being ordered around and people looking over us."
"It's not like we have much of a choice Rayne, we can't exactly go around the world, hunt down every vampire out there and hope they know where Kagan is hiding out. With the Brimstone Society, they have nearly unlimited resources at their disposal to combat the supernatural; books, weapons, tactics. If anyone can help us track down and kill Kagan, it's them."
"Is this all about killing that shit stain, or is this all about gaining entry to their 'secret' library Professor Tremayne told you about?" Rayne asked rather smugly.
"Can't it be both? Look Rayne I know you aren't exactly fond of being ordered around, but these people are the only way we could get a better lead on Kagan. Plus, they have people all over the world, one of their international contacts surely would get a lead on him." Lucas pleaded with his sister, who put her finger to her chin to think.
After a few minutes, Rayne came to a decision. "Alright, as much as it pains me, you are right Lucas, they can help track down that bastard, even if it means we have to be their attack dogs in return." She decided.
"Well then, I suggest we head to The Brimstone Society HQ in France, the nearest airstrip is about eighty miles away. Shall we get going then 'Miss Baudelaire'?"
"'Mr. Baudelaire', that just might be the best idea you've had all night."
With that, the twins pocketed their necklaces, ran to the opposite end of the roof, and jumped down to the street below. They then walked to the nearby alley and went inside. Once in the alley, they located an object that was covered with a tarp. The object was a motorcycle with a side car Lucas 'acquired' before they went to the village and hid before conducting their mission. Once they got on the bike, with Lucas driving and Rayne sitting in the sidecar, Lucas started the bike and the twins proceeded to the entrance to the village. Once on the road, they began the long drive to the town with the nearest airstrip.
A Few Hours Later
After a hours of driving, the twins ditched the motorcycle by a park and headed for the airstrip. Since they couldn't board an airplane with their weapons without causing a panic, they had no choice but to sneak onboard an outbound plane for France. After sneaking onto the tarmac, they found a lone guard patrolling about. Lucas went up to the guard, took out a knife and put it to the guards throat.
"Don't move. Don't make a sound." He said to the guard.
"P-p-p-please, don't kill me, I don't have anything. I swear." He begged
"Calm down, I'm not going to kill you. Just answer my question and I'll let you go. Which plane is going to France?"
"Look for the plane with the designation N015E on the side. That plane is going nonstop to France and it leaves in twenty minutes. Please, I told you what you want, now you'll let me go right?"
"Yes, thank you...and good night." Lucas said causing the guard to gained a confused expression. After all the guard saw was black since Lucas struck him on the back of his head, knocking him out cold.
"Nice one." Rayne complimented her brother. "Thanks. Here, help me move him." Lucas grabbed the guard under his arms while Rayne grabbed him by his ankles. They the took the unconscious guard and carried him to the side of a nearby hangar, out of sight of the remaining guards on the tarmac.
"Alright, now we have to find the plane with N015E on the side and that is our ticket to France." Lucas said as the twins looked around the tarmac for their plane.
"There it is!" Rayne said pointing in the direction of the plane. "Alright, come on sister, we have a plane to catch." With that they took off in a sprint to sneak aboard the plane.
Once the twins made it to the plane, they opened the door going to the cargo hold and snuck inside. Once in, they sat down in a space that was not occupied by luggage. After the twenty minute mark, the plane began to pick up speed and the twins noticed that they were in the air headed for France. "Alright, next stop, France."
"I don't know about you little brother, but I am going to catch up on some sleep."
"Sounds like a good idea, we got a good seven and half hour flight."
With that, the twins fell got comfortable and fell asleep on the plane, their heads nearly touching each other's in their slumber. The Baudelaire twins were finally on their way to the headquarters of the Brimstone Society in Paris, France. They had no idea what to expect when they got there or what things they would have to do in order to get the next lead on their father, but nothing and no one was going to stop them from killing Kagan and avenging their mother as well as her family, no matter the trial ahead of them, but they can worry about that at a later time. For now, after a long and tiring mission, they caught up on some well deserved sleep.
