A/N: I don't own Van Helsing.)
Chapter Eleven
Dracula paced the room deep in thought as Zach watched him.
"What are we going to do father?" Zach asked after a while.
"We know she has the ring, but it is not of much use. She is of more use to me than the ring itself." Dracula said.
"But father, what will we do with Elizabeth after she has served her purpose?"
Dracula looked at him. "Is her name really Elizabeth?"
"Yes, her name is really Elizabeth. Liz is her nickname. Out of curiosity, why do you ask?"
"Because Elizabeth is supposed to be the Left Hand of God if Gabriel should die. Unless of course, she suffered the same fate, or worse."
"If she became one of us." Zach said smiling.
"Exactly. After Miss Elizabeth has served her purpose, I believe we shall make her a bride for you." Dracula said smiling at his son.
Carl leafed through the books in the library as he waited for his third batch of successful werewolf serum to be finished. Then he found something interesting. He took the book with him as he tried to find Van Helsing.
Carl found him in the kitchen talking with everyone else. Liz looked up when she saw him.
"How's the antidote going Carl?" she asked.
"I've already made two successful batches but that is not why I came."
Carl set the book down so they all could see it. "It says here that if ever the Left hand of God should ever die, Elizabeth will take their place. Van Helsing, you are the left hand of God. If you die, we have to find this Elizabeth person." Carl said.
"There are millions of girls named Elizabeth, at least in my time there are." Bri said.
"Does it say anything else?" Ali asked.
"It says she will be known by a different name." Carl said.
"So how do we find this Elizabeth girl?" Van Helsing asked.
"It doesn't say." Carl replied.
"What do you mean it doesn't say?" Anna said leaning over the book. Sure enough, it didn't say how to find her.
"What if Dracula has gotten to her first?" Bri asked.
"We don't even know if he knows about her or not." Ali argued.
The whole time this was going on, Liz sat silently thinking.
"How are we going to find her then? It will take forever to find the right one!" Bri said.
"Elizabeth Gabrielle." Liz whispered her own name to herself and put two and two together. Her eyes widened.
"Oh my gosh," Liz shouted.
Everyone looked at her and then Ali got it.
"That's right! I keep forgetting Liz isn't your full name!" Ali said. The light went on in Bri's head.
"Now even your middle name makes sense!" Bri said.
"What? What is it?" Carl asked.
"Listen, Liz is my nickname. My full name is Elizabeth."
"But how do we know you are the Elizabeth?" Anna asked.
"Because of my middle name."
"Which is?" Van Helsing urged.
"The female version of your name, Gabrielle."
"Elizabeth Gabrielle Van Helsing." Carl whispered.
"It all makes perfect sense." Anna said.
"I'm the backup Left hand of God! Do you know how stressful that is with Count Dracula in the same town even!" Liz said shocked rather loudly. She looked around at the socked faces looking at her.
"I feel better now." she said.
Bri let out a cough that sounded like 'lycan.' Liz glared at her.
"Now we know why that quiz said you were an angel, you are one!" Bri said mocking her.
"I may be an angel, but that doesn't mean I still can't hurt you. Believe me, I will hurt you."
"I doubt it," Bri said and smiled."angel."
"That's it. Come here!" Liz shouted jumping over the table to try and strangle Bri. Bri jumped up and ran. Soon, the two girls were chasing each other around the kitchen.
"Guys! Stop it!" Ali shouted chasing after Liz so she wouldn't kill Bri.
Carl looked around. "Well, this has just turned into a three ring circus."
"I am never having children." Van Helsing said looking at the three of them. "At least not three girls. I have no idea what I'd do when they became teenagers."
Anna kissed him on the forehead. "Neither would I."
"Bri, I'm going to kill you!" Liz shouted.
"You have to catch me first!" Bri shouted back.
"Try not to tear each other limb from limb!" Ali shouted as the three jumped over the bar.
Liz darted forward and pinned Bri against the wall by her arms.
"I'm sorry, I'm SORRY!" Bri shouted. Liz leaned her face toward Bri's.
"Good." she said and let Bri fall to the floor.
"Werewolf!" Bri shouted at her.
"Vampire!" Liz shouted back.
"Angel!"
"Marishka!"
"Take that back!!" Bri shouted.
"I take it back."
"You're gonna die anyway!" Bri shouted running after her. Liz bolted away with Ali now chasing after Bri. Ali had to make sure Bri didn't kill Liz. Bri chased Liz out the front door and out onto the dark grounds. Liz got a bad feeling.
"Back in the house." she said as they all turned and began to run inside. Zach landed before them.
"Crud." Bri said. Liz stiffened.
"Guys, don't back up." she told them.
"Why?" Ali asked.
"Call it a feeling." she replied glaring at Zach. If looks could kill, he would've been dead instantly.
"Leave my friends alone Zach, you have no interest in them." Liz told him.
"I'm sure we could find a use for Alison and Brianna."
"Double crud." Ali said and subconsciously began to backup. Liz grabbed her arm and pulled her back in line with her.
"Leave them alone." Liz said her eyes hard and set.
"That's up to my father." Zach said.
This is not happening, this is not happening!! Liz thought but showed no trace of it on her face.
"You can tell him if he would join you in facing us instead of him being behind us, we might actually accomplish something." Liz said.
"Smart girl." Dracula said and the three whirled around. Liz gave him the same look of death that she gave Zach.
"Well, this isn't good." Ali said looking between the vampires.
I have to let Van Helsing know what's going on. How? Liz's mind raced.
"I'm surprised you came yourself. Why not let one of the werewolves do it for you?" Liz said and let out a realistic type of mocking howl. "Oh wait, you're still scared one will have the nerve to bit you."
Dracula's eyes flared. "That's not very nice for an Angel."
He knows!!! Liz's mind shouted.
"Just because you're an angel doesn't mean you have to be nice." she replied showing none of her thoughts on her face.
The two glared at each other a moment. Then Dracula straightened himself and smiled.
"Zachary, I believe we shall take Alison and Brianna with us." he said never looking away from Liz's eyes, which were full of hatred.
"You wouldn't dare." Liz said.
"Actually, I would." Dracula said and Liz exploded. She lunged to hit Dracula but Zach grabbed her from around the waist and pulled her back. She flailed about, kicking and screaming. Liz elbowed him in the stomach, knocking the wind out of him. He dropped her and Liz landed on her feet.
Arrows flew through the air and the girls saw Van Helsing with his crossbow standing in the door way. Ali and Bri bolted off toward the door and so did Liz. Zach grabbed her ankle and Liz fell. She caught herself on her hands and tried to get back up. Zach still had her ankle so she fell again. Bri and Ali grabbed her hands and pulled her up, out of Zach's reach. The three ran inside and Van Helsing shut the doors behind them.
"That was perfect timing." Ali said.
"How did you know we were in trouble anyway?" Bri asked.
"I heard a werewolf howl." Van Helsing replied.
"That was me." Liz said. "I had to find to get you outside with a weapon of some kind."
"You three are not allowed out of this mansion till Dracula is killed. We can't risk any of you getting hurt or captured," Van Helsing said and looked at Liz. "again." he added.
"What? You can't do that!" Liz said.
"From that little incident, I think I can."
"We can take care of ourselves you know. We aren't little four year olds."
"We can't risk it."
"Gosh, you are like an overprotective father!" Liz shouted.
"Thank you."
Liz roared in aggravation.
"Especially you. I'm not letting you out of my sight." Van Helsing said pointing to Liz.
"Battle of the werewolves." Bri whispered to Ali. The two ducked in a nearby room.
Liz roared in aggravation again and pushed past him. Then she turned to look at him. She shook her head and ran to her room. Once in her room, she fell on the bed and screamed as loud as she could into her pillow. Then, she sat up and threw it against the wall. Liz pushed open the two French doors and walked out onto her balcony. The night air quickly calmed her nerves. She looked up at the moon and walked back in her room.
She closed the doors and fell back on her bed. She looked at the moon once again before she fell asleep.
(A/N: That's it for this chapter. I'm sorry but I won't be able to update my stories as much since my band camp started and with the start of school right after that. It stinks I know, but I'll do my best. Thanks for staying with me. No flames please. Thanks!!)
