*I do not own the movie Van Helsing.
IMPORTANT!
When trying to figure out the plot for the rest of this story it split off in three directions. When I was trying to plot out the directions, the three directions became three different stories. One of which I will post. There will be a lot of similarities of this story to the new one as it is a rewrite of this story to hopefully make it better. But this story will stay up and I will get around to finishing it eventually once I get a better idea of where it wants to go as not everything in the rewrite lines up with this one making it the third story. Also anything that doesn't fit in the story line of the rewrite will most likely still be in this story. I will be posted as new chapters for this story but I don't know how often. What I am trying to say is I am going to have two very similar stories, which are still different stories, which I am writing and posting. They will have some of the same characters, and so far 85% different plot line, at least that's what it looks like right know. Just thought I would let everyone reading this story know.
The new story will be called His Betrayers Daughter and I hope to have the first chapter out by the end of the month.
Here is what I have written of, and what will eventually be a finished version of chapter 9.
Chapter 9
After a couple minutes of silence the Count softly said "you don't seem surprised." Confused I asked "why would I be?"
"Because I said I was going to kill them." Shrugging I said "it makes since; kill them before they kill you."Raising an eyebrow in surprise he said "so you agree with me then."
"No, there are other options besides killing them, but it makes since that if it's going to be them or you that you would kill them first."
"So as long as I am acting in self defense you agree with me, but do you agree if I hunt them down first?"
"I don't know. I guess it would depend on if they were posing a threat to you or if they weren't doing anything."
Sighing he turned and walked to the door. Pausing he added "it's that kind of thinking that got me killed." Before walking out of the room and disappearing, were I was once again left staring at where he should have been, wondering why he left.
Sitting there for what must have been hours I noticed that the sun was raising. Sighing I got up and walked around the castle aimlessly. Blinking in surprise I realized I was sitting on the steps outside the castle doorway, directly in the morning sunlight. A little while longer the peace of the morning was shattered when an angry voice called out from behind me saying "if you wanted to leave, when I was dead was the perfect time." Surprised I jumped up, while at the same time turning around almost falling over. The Counts lips twitching upwards as if he was going to smile before his expression quickly became angry again.
"But…" I started to say only to get cut off by the Count yelling "if you want to leave fine! Leave! But know this, if you leave here your breaking your promise to stay, and when I find you for I will find you, I will kill you."
Glaring at him I replied "the promise was to stay at the other castle. Were exactly am I going to go if I try to leave here? As far as I can tell the only place to go would be off a cliff!"
"So you are thinking about leaving!" he yelled.
"No, I was thinking and walked out here for some peace and quiet in the sun which is something I haven't done in awhile!"
Surprised he said "you weren't leaving?"
"No."
"Oh," he said looking slightly confused, before frowning and walking away muttering something almost too quiet for me to hear, only being able to make out a few words that didn't make any since. Why would the Count be muttering "I thought… Not possible… But it must be…"
"Must be what?" I whispered to myself watching the count disappear back into the castle. Something about our talk was bothering both of us.
