Hi everyone this is my new chapter story. It's my take on what Anna and Velkan's childhood would've been like. Obviously it's set before the movie ;) lol.

Disclaimer- I don't own Van Helsing. If I did, do you think I would've killed off Anna?

Van Helsing 2: The Valerious Line

Prologue

The sun shone brightly in the pale blue sky, illuminating the few cotton-like clouds. While a gentle breeze rustled the auburn leaves on the trees. The great oaks had begun to shed their leaves as another endless winter came around again. Further ahead, the dense pine forest gave way to a wide valley beneath. The snow-capped Transylvanian mountains loomed in the distance; making their presence known. A high waterfall came to a crescendo over the rocky cliffs, ending up in the turquoise pool of the lagoon. The rare sound of laughter carried on the air for miles around. An eleven-year-old boy was clowning around at the waters edge; while a girl, only a year younger was giggling at him. Their parents looked on as the children enjoyed themselves, something they hadn't done in a very long time.

As news of a new Werewolf spread through the village, Boris Valerious took his family to this secluded spot to get away; to forget about all the worries of monsters and curses. The skies began to darken and the decision was made to head back; the threat of Dracula was too great to risk being caught short. Boris and his wife Helena watched in wonder as their children, Velkan and Anna raced off down the track, competing with each other. If they carried on like that, they'd be back at the manor in no time at all.

Dusk drew ever closer, the children had gone to bed. Though he would very much love to have a day like this every day, the family quest to kill Dracula was an ever-growing weight on Boris' shoulders. He was worried. Not just for his family, but for his village. Most of all, he was worried about what should happen if he were to die. The fire began to burn out and Boris did what had almost become his routine. He walked to his room, forgot all about his worries, just long enough so he could get some sleep. Although he was tormented in his dreams by the threat of tomorrow.

Reviews Rock my world ;) Even if it's just two words like chocolate cake : D
