I do not own Van Helsing. I only own Tiffani and Lexi.

Story Start

"Great, just great, we decide to travel to Transylvania for a vacation and what do you want to do? You want to go hiking," Lexi grumbled as she and Tiffani were walking through an eerie forest. The sun was sinking faster behind the mountains than Lexi liked. The impending darkness did not help settle her fears.

"Hiking is fun," Tiffani said with a sheepish grin.

"Not when you are lost," Lexi yelled back and threw a rock at her friend, who dodged.

"I didn't mean to get us lost. It's the map's fault," her friend replied, which made Lexi glare even more than she already was.

"How is it the map's fault? It's not like it whispered the wrong directions in your ear," Lexi hissed and Tiffani shrugged.

"It could have. It's manipulative like that. Anyways, it's the map's fault. It's so confusing," Tiffani said with a pout.

Lexi stormed over to her friend and grabbed the map. "I told you to grab the one in English. No wonder you are lost. We cannot read this," she yelled and shoved the map back into her friend's hand.

"Oh, there was one in English? I didn't see one," Tiffani replied before running forward to get some distance between her and Lexi.

"We're' lost, it's dark, and I'm not in a good mood. You should be worried," Lexi growled and she smirked when she saw Tiffani swallow nervously.

Tiffani went to reply to calm down her friend, but a large gust of wind blew around them. She let out a yell of surprise when the wind tore the map out of her hands. "Crud," Tiffani yelled and started chasing after the map.

"Tiffani, get back here. There are wolves and bears in these woods," Lexi yelled annoyed and worried as she chased after her friend.

"But we need the map," Tiffani yelled back to her friend. She ran as fast as she could and tried jumping up to catch the map, but every time she jumped, the wind would take the map higher in the air.

"Tiffani, watch out," Lexi yelled before cringing when her friend tripped over some large tree roots.

Pain laced through Tiffani's shoulder and wrist as she crashed to the ground. She spit out the dirt that had unfortunately went into her mouth during the fall. She really hoped that no animal had decided to use that certain area of ground for a bathroom earlier.

"Are you all right?" Lexi asked as she rushed forward and crouched down by her friend.

Tiffani looked up at her and spit out some more dirt. She gave Lexi a crooked grin before shaking her head. "Stupid map's fault," Tiffani grumbled as she slowly stood up, and Lexi helped her brush off the dirt on her clothes.

"Are you hurt?" Lexi asked while her friend tried moving her right arm.

"My wrist and shoulder hurt, but I don't think anything is broken," her friend answered before she looked around the two of them. The sun had disappeared and the night sky shone brighter than usual above them. "It's a full moon," Tiffani said almost wistfully while staring up at the full moon above their heads.

"Great, more of a creepy factor to us already being lost in the woods of Transylvania," Lexi said with a groan before freezing. A long howl sounded in the air. The girls gave each other worried looks before they started running the opposite way that the howl sounded.

"Did that sound louder and deeper than a normal wolf's howl?" Tiffani asked while they were running.

"Don't you dare freak me while we are running in the middle of nowhere," Lexi yelled.

"Well we are in Transylvania, it could be possible," Tiffani yelled back and the howl sounded again, but this time it sounded louder.

"You are not helping me calm down right now, Tiffani," Lexi yelled as she tried to run faster. Her heart felt like it would beat out of her chest at the amount of fear she was feeling.

"Look, lights," Tiffani yelled and Lexi noticed multiple lights glowing in the distance. "Hurry," she called out and the girls picked up their pace. The girls felt the fear and tension start to leave them the closer they got to the lights.

The lights soon turned into lit torches with tense and angry men holding the torches. The girls slid to a stop when they reached the men. They were about to ask for help, but one of the men pointed a gun at the two girls.

Lexi and Tiffani held up their hands as they looked at the men with surprised fear. "We didn't do anything," Tiffani said and Lexi gave her a small glare.

"You are not from Transylvania, leave," the man with the gun ordered.

"Well who are you to boss us to leave? Anyways, I think we have a bigger issue that some wolf or a giant wolf is coming this way," Lexi said to break the focus off her friend, who she knew would most likely be shot or hurt.

"How do we know that you are not the werewolf?" another man yelled as he too drew his gun.

"I think that's obvious. I'd be big, furry, maybe slobbering a bit, and tearing you from limb to limb," Tiffani said annoyed because she and Lexi were still standing right by the forest that they had just run out of moments ago.

Another long howl graced the night's sky and everybody grew tense. The girls were full of adrenaline then because the howl sounded as if it was right behind them. Tiffani looked at Lexi and gave a nod. Lexi shook her head, but a serious look from Tiffani made her swallow down her fear.

"Run," Tiffani yelled and she rushed forward and ran around the men. Lexi ran straight ahead as fast as she could. The girls were counting their blessings because right after they had run past the men a large werewolf appeared out of the forest. The girls could hardly believe what their eyes were seeing.

"I told you that werewolves are real," Tiffani yelled as they kept running, which was toward a town with torches lit at some areas.

"Shut up, let's just focus on not being torn apart of being bitten," Lexi yelled back and the girls tried their best to ignore the sounds behind them. Gunshots, snarls, ripping of flesh, and awful dying screams seemed to follow them no matter how fast they ran.

They entered the town and almost yelled in fear again when they saw a woman and a group of men behind her standing beyond the entrance of the town. The girls slid to a stop and moved close to each other ready for anything.

"Who are you?" the woman asked keeping a hand on the gun on her hip.

"Lexi and Tiffani, totally normal people that were lost in the woods and we really need somewhere safe to stay right now," Lexi said introducing herself, her friend, and the reason why they were there. "A werewolf started chasing us in the woods and we ended up here," she quickly finished explaining.

"Take them to my home, now," the woman ordered and a man rushed forward to grab Tiffani and Lexi's hands.

"Follow me," the man said in a harsh voice.

The girls followed him, but they could feel the untrustworthy glares he was giving them. The girls heard the woman yell for her men to head towards the fight, and they wished the woman and her men luck. The girls had dealt with a lot in their lives, but they were not prepared to fight a werewolf just yet, especially not when they only have hiking gear.

"Stay here," the man said before pushing the girls into the woman's home, that made them think of a castle. The man slammed the door shut before they could hear him running away, probably to join the battle with the werewolf.

"Lexi," Tiffani said in shock and Lexi slowly looked at her. Tiffani was pointing at a portrait on a wall. "Is that who I think it is?" she asked slowly and Lexi's eyes followed the path of her friend's finger to the wall. A shock escaped her when her eyes met their final destination.

"Dracula," Lexi whispered and the girls wondered what had they gotten themselves into for this vacation.
