(A/N: new chapter! Yea! Any who…I don't own Van Helsing.)
Chapter Eight
Four days past and Liz was in her room, reading her Van Helsing book. She thought there might be hidden clues in it or something like that. She heard the doorbell.
She went to get it and saw Courtney and Tracy. "Hi." Liz said confused slightly.
"Hi, um you ready?" Tracy asked.
"For what?"
"You forgot didn't you?" Courtney said.
"Yes I did, now tell me what I forgot."
"Do you know what day it is?" Tracy asked.
"No."
"It's Saturday, the day of …." Courtney started.
"Right, Sara's birthday. I feel terrible. Stay right here, I'll be right back." Liz said. She took Sara's gift out of the closet and grabbed her coat and hat. She came back out and smiled. "Now, I'm ready to go."
The girls walked two blocks down and knocked on the door to Sara's house. A girl with long brown hair and green eyes came to the door.
"Happy Birthday Sara!" Liz said smiling.
"Hi, Bri and Ali are already here. Come in!" Sara said. The girls walked into her house and went directly to Sara's backyard where the pool was. Bri was getting ready to push Ali in the pool.
"Hey Ali, come here!" Sara said. Ali moved to the side as Bri ran forward. Bri stopped just at the edge of the pool. Liz silently walked around and shoved Bri in. Everyone burst out laughing. Bri came to the surface.
"Liz, I'm gonna kill you."
"If vampires can't kill me, neither can you."
"Werewolf!" Bri shouted at her as she got out of the pool.
"Thank you, thank you very much."
Bri tried to push Liz in but she moved to the side and Bri pushed Ali in instead. Ali burst out laughing and Liz pushed Bri in again. Courtney pushed in Tracy and Sara pushed in Courtney. Liz set her hat, coat and boots on one of the sun chairs. She walked over to Sara smiling.
"Oh, no. No, Liz, don't you dare." Sara said backing up. Liz grabbed her arm and jumped in dragging Sara with her. All the girls were laughing and splashing each other. Liz looked up at the setting sun and pulled herself out of the pool. She shook her wet hair out and wrung out her shirt. Bri raised a hand and Liz pulled her out after Bri tried to pull her in again. The girls stood around the pool talking and laughing as the stars came out above them.
Suddenly, Kelsey ran over to them crying.
"What is she doing here?" Tracy asked.
"Liz, Liz." Kelsey blurted out.
"Why do I have to be such a nice person?" Liz mumbled as she walked over to the weeping Kelsey. Kelsey threw her arms around her and cried. Liz was very confused, so she just patted Kelsey on the back.
"Liz, one of those women bit Zach and I thought he was dead, but he wasn't. Now he's stalking me and I'm really scared." Kelsey said.
"What women?" Liz asked.
"The ones I let into your house the other day." Kelsey wept.
Liz's eyes widened. "Guys watch Kelsey. I'll be back soon." Liz said quickly putting on her boots, hat and coat. She ran out to the front of the building and saw nothing. Her shadow fell over the street as a street lamp flickered on and off.
"Zach!" Liz shouted. She knew he was there, she could just feel it.
"Hello Elizabeth." Zach said smiling walking out of the shadows.
"It's Liz, remember? It's short for Elizabeth."
"I'm sorry, what do you want?" Zach asked. Kelsey was right, he was bitten. Liz could tell by the paleness of his skin and the death in his eyes. Of course, the fangs he began to grow were a huge clue to.
Zach darted at her and Liz dived to the side.
"Liz! Liz!" came Ali and Bri's voice. Zach turned to then and changed into his bat form. Liz bolted up and grabbed him by the ankles. She flung Zach away from her friends.
"Leave them alone!" Liz shouted at him. Zach knocked her to the ground. Liz planted her feet in his chest and kicked up. Zach flew off her as Liz flipped up to stand.
"Liz!" Ali and Bri said rushing to her side. Zach slowly got up and looked at the girls. Kelsey, Courtney, Tracy and Sara rushed out of the house to watch what was happening. Zach saw the group of girls behind them. He smiled showing his fangs and ran towards them.
"NO!!" Liz shouted. Zach, Bri, Ali and Liz were enveloped in white light. Bri and Ali grabbed onto Liz as they vanished. The girls closed their eyes tightly as the ground below them disappeared. They fell and screamed as they did so. After what seemed like hours, the girls collapsed to the ground.
Liz opened her eyes to see they were back in Transylvania.
"Guys, we're back!!" Liz said standing. Ali and Bri stood and gaped at what they saw. Liz was suddenly knocked to the ground. Zach stood there laughing his head off. Liz stood and pulled something out of her coat smiling evilly. It was a tojo blade. Liz flicked the switch and the blades turned into silver stakes. Liz smiled as she flicked them on.
"Whoa." Bri mumbled.
"She must have gotten them from Kevin." Ali mumbled. Zach gave her a look of horror before turning into a bat and flying away.
Liz flicked the blades off as she sighed. Ali and Bri were looking at her in horror, or past her. Liz slowly turned around and saw a gray werewolf. Liz pulled out the gun with the silver nitrate in it. She fired at the wolf but it dodged her bullets. Liz did want anyone would do in that situation: she turned and ran like heck. The wolf pounced and Liz poured on the speed. The werewolf missed her but barely. Ali and Bri were close behind her in running away from the beast.
They bolted into the forest and Liz had and idea. "Get up in the trees!"
Bri jumped up into the nearest one and pulled Ali up with her. Liz ran on and looked back to see the werewolf still running after her. Liz jumped up into a tree and climbed up a quickly as she could. The wolf jumped up for her. Liz got out of its reach. She fired her pistol and the wolf howled in pain. Liz got a clear shot and took it. The bullet landed squarely in his heart. The wolf shrank back into a man as it died.
Liz slowly climbed out of the tree and walked back to find Bri and Ali. A scream sounded off in the distance followed by a second. Liz bolted off to see Dracula holding her two friends by the collar.
"Let them go, Dracula." Liz said putting away her pistol and bringing out another one.
"I think I'll hold onto them for a little while, my dear." he said smiling.
Liz pulled out her sunglasses and smiled. "We'll see about that." she said putting them on. Liz fired three shots up into the air and a blinding light overtook everything. When the light was gone, Liz and her friends had vanished.
Liz, Ali and Bri were running for their lives. They wanted to get back to Valerious manor before Dracula could beat them there. The castle came in view and the girls sprinted toward it. Liz pulled the door open and Ali and Bri rushed in. Liz saw Dracula's shadow and quickly rushed in. Her friends closed the door behind her. Liz felt a sharp pain on her back before she fainted. Ali and Bri leaned against the door with all their might and the door shut. The girl locked it before they ran over to Liz. Liz dreamed.
Bri, Ali and Liz were all sitting at the computer.
"What did it say you were Liz?" Bri asked looking over her shoulder. Liz had found a quiz on the Internet that told you what kind of mythical creature you were.
"It's loading, so hold on a second will you."
The screen flashed and a picture of a beautiful woman with wings appeared.
"It says I'm an Angel!!" Liz said smiling.
"I find that hard to believe." Ali said smiling evilly.
"Just like Van Helsing, huh? I still think you are a lycan." Bri said.
"Well, then let's see what you are." Liz said as Bri took the chair. After a few clicks, a picture of a man with black hair appeared.
"I'm a Vampire!!!" Bri shouted. Liz and Ali burst out laughing.
"I can so totally see that! You have the crystal blue eyes and everything!" Ali said half laughing. Liz was covering her smile with her hand.
"Move over!" Ali said taking hold of the mouse. After a few clicks, the same picture showed up.
"Looks like you're a vampire too." Bri said.
"I must be an odd angel, especially if my two best friends are vampires." Liz said.
"Thank goodness we're really not." Ali said.
"I'm just glad that quiz isn't true." Liz said. "If I really was an angel and like Van Helsing, I'd have to kill my best friends. I would never be able to do that." Liz said smiling.
"Let's go get something to eat." Ali said starting up the stairs from her dad's office.
"Like blood?" Bri said teasingly as she chased after her.
"Shut up Bri." Liz shouted up the stairs as she shut off the computer. She sighed. The wind picked up and blew her hat off. With lightning reflexes, she plucked it out of the air like it was nothing. Liz thought she heard someone mumble something and then looked up. Nothing was there. Liz set her hand on the desk and felt a ring under it. It was pewter with a small dark blue stone in it. Liz slipped it on her finger and saw the back door was open. The leaves blew in the house as the wind softly whistled out side.
"Hey miss Angel, healing anyone down there?" came Bri's voice.
"Be up in a second." Liz shouted still looking out the door. She shook her head and brushed the leaves out of the house and closed the door. She was halfway up the stairs when a thought struck her. She turned back and locked the door.
"Hurry up!" Ali shouted. Liz turned and bolted up the stairs.
Liz's eyes fluttered open. Ali and Bri were looking over her. They didn't look too happy.
"How long have I been out?" Liz asked sitting up and subconsciously feeling the ring on her right hand.
"Only a few minuets." Ali said looking doomed.
"What?" Liz asked wide-eyed reaching for her neck. Everything was fine.
Bri showed Liz a necklace. It was the time amulet, only it was shattered to bits.
"You mean we're stuck here!!!" Liz said as if it were more of a statement. Ali nodded.
"We're stuck in 1888."
(A/N: Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I've been kind of busy. I already noticed this, I'm just stating it, but notice how Bri, Ali and Liz all have three letter names each with an -I- in them. Anyway, no flames please. Thank you!)
