A Van Helsing Fan Fic
Basic: A young woman goes looking for Van Helsing to help her, but gets more than she expected. I believe there are not enough Van Helsing Fan Fics about Van Helsing. Either they are about Van Helsing/Anna or about Dracula and I think it's time for a change. And thank you to all those authors who make fic's without pairing up the characters who are already paired up in the movie! Also I know this idea has already been used so many times before(I think)but I'm hoping that mine is just a little different.
Chapter 1
Transylvania
1899
It had been ten years since Dracula had been vanquished, ten years we all were able to live life without fear, without being on the alert all the time, without hiding. My name is Evilyn (pronounced ev-a-lin). And my greatest enemy is one whom I didn't know. My story begins here on this night that I hid back in the shadows of the world. I was on a mission to find the one man I knew could help me. A Gabriel Van Helsing. I had heard of his victory over Dracula just over ten years ago. I felt different, like something was missing. And then the dreams began. I started having dreams of what I think was Dracula's past memories. This was how I was able to find everything out. About his three brides and the Frankenstein Monster, but most importantly about the one who defeated him. Van Helsing. I watched as he transformed into a beautiful black werewolf with long ears and fur.
I hoped that when I got to the Venetian that I wouldn't have to explain a lot. If they found out the truth, then they wouldn't dare help me. As I made my way up the steps I kept thinking how I was going to convince them that Dracula is back.
How do I know about Van Helsing you might ask. Well I'm sure you have all heard about the Frankenstein Monster. Yes, him, I've meet him. I was the only person who would house the poor creature. Everyone didn't care, they thought I was already crazy, and if they saw who he really was they would have burned us to the ground. I was amazed that he took off his hood and showed me who he really was. He was also amazed that I didn't run and tell the towns people. But he understood when I told him my story. At first he was upset, but I assured him that I had no intentions on bringing harm to the world. In fact I needed him for the opposite. He only told me a little and not in much detail. He told me how he was made and why; About Velkin being a werewolf and the lady who accompanied Van Helsing, Anna, I think her name was.
He didn't stay long, three days, enough to get his energy back. He left during the twilight hours so no one would see him. It was a shame to see him go. He was the first real person I had talked to in a long time. After hearing this information, something felt different. It felt like something was out of place. Then I noticed a paper left on my bed. I reached for it and there was some writing on it. It was hard to make out but then again it surprised me to see that the creature could write although I'm sure he learned after ten years.
Evilyn,
You will know I am off and into hiding, I didn't want to say it out loud for fear of people hearing. Dracula is alive I fear. I can feel it, but I believe that he is weak and is in hiding. For how much longer I can not tell you. Also I don't know if his brides will be with him. They are Verona, Marishka, and Aleera. When I was captured I was used to bring their children to life. It was successful, but Van Helsing killed Dracula before the children could do any harm. The only known way to kill Dracula is by a Werewolf. Van Helsing became one and killed Dracula before the stroke of Mid-night on the night of his first full moon. But that morning was not one of celebrating. The lady, Anna, Van Helsing I believe had feeling for her and the feeling was mutual. Anna and Carl were off finding a cure to the werewolf curse while Dracula and Van Helsing fought. Luckily Anna got the cure to Van Helsing, but before he turned back Van Helsing killed Anna. Van Helsing was ordered by the Order to kill me for I am not classified as human, but he couldn't for he only kills those who are evil. You are not evil Evilyn and you should go and find Van Helsing and search for Dracula, I'm sure you're starting to feel him get stronger too. Go to Rome, go to Vatican City and ask for Van Helsing. Tell them everything I told you, just don't tell them that I am still alive. Tell Van Helsing and Carl I am well. I believe that you should show them who you truly are, it would help Van Helsing especially to trust you. As I said you are not evil, you are the kindest person I've met in a long time. I will pray for you and I wish you luck, your humble servant,
Creature
That night I had a vision, I could see a beautiful werewolf transforming back to human form. It was Van Helsing and I could hear another voice that had a heavy accent. I realized I was seeing past events through the eyes of Dracula. Once I awoke I set off for Rome at once. I went out into the forest with a shovel and dug up a box I had buried with all of my money. I didn't like people knowing that I was actually wealthy. Its better to be poor, with only the simple things in life. You attract less attention that way.
I walked home and packed the few belongings I had. The nearest town was about two miles west and I knew I had to walk fast if I was going to make it before sunrise. I preferred not to have people looking at me. They always stared at me, I guess because of my eyes. They're naturally a very bright green, like the new growth on a tree in the spring. In town I was able to buy some new cloths so I would fit in better and a horse, although the man didn't think that the money I had was real. I got a thorough bred Transylvanian horse. He cost quite a bit, but money was no problem, and they were the fastest. I stopped and got a few supplies, food, water, and other necessities.
On my travel to Rome I had the same dream every night and I would always wake up sweating. To me these were dreams, to others they would be nightmares. Filled with the most horrific creatures of night and day. And in the center of this swarm was the devil himself. And he would say something to me but all I couldn't hear anything, only see his lips moving. I've been having really weird feelings and I was starting to believe that what the Creature said was right. Dracula was gaining power, and at the rate he was going he would be a full power within a few weeks.
Walking through the doors of the church gave me a sense of sanctuary, but the feeling didn't last long as I got closer to the confession booth. I didn't prepare on what to say or how to say it. It's not like I was making a speech, but trying to get in touch with the Order was going to be hard. At least the Creature made it seem like it. The horse was taken out back to the churches stables while I was inside. I'm sure it would do him good.
The cardinal opened the window, "I need your help."
"You have come to confess, my dear."
"No, I need you and the orders help," I whispered.
"I know of no such thing, now if you have not come to confess I suggest you leave so that others may."
"Please," I whispered, "you must help me a great evil is on the rise and I need Van Helsing's help!"
"How do you know of Van Helsing and The Order!" He asked.
"Please, if you can help me we can't afford to waist more time. Now are you going to let me in and talk with Van Helsing or not. This is neither the time nor the place to explain how grave importance it is that I speak with Van Helsing."
"It seams I have no choice. I must do what I have to in order to hide evil from the world."
He pressed a button and the screen window between me and him rose, "What an unnatural color eyes you have, you give me your word you are not here to harm anyone, nor do any evil." I gave him my assurance, and he beckoned me to follow him down a flight of steps till we came to an opening.
I saw a sight that you would never thought of. Monks making weapons. How utterly. . .ironic. As I followed the Cardinal, many of the men stopped and watched as I passed by. I was starting to feel uncomfortable, thankfully we stopped and came to a table pilled on with papers, vials filled with colorful liquids, and other…junk.
"Friar Carl, this is- What is your name my child?"
"Evilyn, just Evilyn."
"This is Evilyn, she has come to speak with Van Helsing, but seeing as he is not here you will be in charge of looking after her until he arrives."
"B-B-But what am I to do with her, I can't have near my experiments, what if she touches something!"
"Just look after her until he arrives!"
The one called Carl Looked at me and gave a weak smile.
'Coward' I thought.
"Well I-I-I could show you around if you would like that!"
I just shrugged my shoulders and followed him. I had ran out of supplies two days ago and being so close I didn't want to make any more stops then I had to, the fatigue and sleeplessness was catching up. Also when I was giving Rouge time to rest a week back a man tried to take him, we got away, but not before he could slice my right side. I think it was not getting any better. I tried to follow Carl, but I started to feel dizzy, everything was going blurry, next all I heard was two voices. They were arguing with one another. I heard bits of the conversation like "only one left", "Van Helsing's", and "bandage infection". I pieced together what I could. I was in Van Helsing's room or bed at least and it was the only one they had left and I did have an infection from the gash in my side. I fell into a deep, thankfully dreamless, sleep.
