(A/N: I'm so sorry this took forever to get up. I don't own Van Helsing.)
Chapter Eleven
Molly rode through the forest with Vana at her side three days later. Megan was locked in Vana's room back at the manor. She didn't want to take any chances.
"Ready?" Vana asked. Molly nodded nervously. The two rode into a clearing near the Dracula's castle.
"Molly, I forgot something at the manor. I'll be right back." Vana said and rode off.
"Fine, I'll just wait here then." Molly said nervously. She was left alone. The night was quiet as a soft wind whirled around her, playing with her red hair.
"Hello Molly."
She turned her horse to see Dracula smiling at her. Molly's green eyes widened as her face showed her fear.
"Hello Dracie."
Out of the bushes came Vana, who was riding on the back of the Carnan, which the girls had named Noctis. Vana was smiling widely as her dark eyes glittered.
"Carnan, destroy the girl." Dracula ordered. The dragon did nothing.
"Now why would Noctis want to destroy me?" Vana said petting him. "I've been much nicer to him than you have."
"That reminds me," Vana said smiling. "See you later."
Noctis flew forward, knocking the vampire over. Molly grabbed Vana's hand and was pulled onto the flying dragon. Vana could feel her pulse quicken and her senses heighten. The werewolf was taking over. She closed her eyes momentarily. When she opened them, her eyes were yellow with slits for pupils and her teeth razor sharp. She could smell the pine from the forest and hear Dracula's flapping about fifteen minuets behind them. They were finally going to save Van Helsing.
The castle came in sight and Vana heard another pair of flapping wings. Lori knocked her off of Noctis.
"Molly! Keep going!" Vana shouted up as she fell. The ground rushed closer to her as she fell through the air. But Noctis wouldn't let this happen. He turned around and Vana landed on his back instead of the ground. Noctis then turned back and flew into one of the upstairs windows of the castle.
"Molly, you check the north tower, I'll take the south." Vana said as the two girls split up. Suddenly, Vana was knocked from behind by Lori.
Molly ran down the steps and turned down a corridor. She opened a door and saw Van Helsing in a cage with Michael in chains. "Guys!" Molly shouted running over and unlocking Michael's chains.
"Are you alright?" she asked as she unlocked Van Helsing's cell.
"Yes, where is Vana? Is she alright?" Van Helsing asked.
"She's fine. C'mon let's get out of here before Dracula comes back." Molly said.
"I'm already here."
Vana pulled something out of her coat along with a lighter. She lit it and threw it at Lori. It was a cherry bomb. It exploded and Lori screamed. Vana tried to stake her, but Lori knocked it aside and flew at her. Lori punched Vana, cutting her right cheek. Lori pounced on Vana and the girl rammed a stake in the vampire's heart. Lori screamed as she fell back. Lori shriveled up into dust. Vana stood over the rubble breathing hard. Vana heard Molly scream and ran in the direction it came from.
She burst through a door with the Carnan behind her. She saw Michael, Molly and Van Helsing were lying unconscious on the ground.
"Hello my dear." Vana turned and saw Dracula.
"What did you do?" Vana asked anger welling up inside her.
"What I'm about to do to you." he said and pushed her. She threw stakes at him as she was flung back. She hit the wall and collapsed on the ground. Noctis roared and Dracula held his gaze.
"You work for me." Dracula said casting his spell over him once again. Noctis roared as he tried to resist but lost in the battle. Dracula controlled him once more.
"Carnan, kill the girl." Dracula said. Noctis flew forward and knocked Vana backed again. He picked her up and flung her across the room. Pain surged through Vana as she screamed. She couldn't believe this was happening.
Noctis flew forward and cut her across the forehead and would have done worse if she hadn't ducked.
"Noctis this isn't you. You aren't evil." Vana pleaded. The Carnan picked her up and was about to strangle her.
"You are battered and broken. You have lost this war little one. It's a shame that voice has to go to waist." he said.
That's it! Vana thought. She softly began to sing Broken by Seether.
The worst is over now and we can breathe again
I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away
There's so much left to learn, and no one left to fight
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
Noctis leaned down and gently licked her face.
"There's my baby." Vana said smiling. Noctis whirled around and roared at Dracula. Dracula changed and he and Noctis were soon in a raging battle. Dracula scratched the Dragon but Noctis scratched back.
Dracula knocked him back and Noctis roared. Dracula tried to kill him but Noctis knocked him back into another wall. Noctis flew over to him and pinned him against the wall. Dracula slashed his gut. It was deep and blood coved his hand. Noctis fell to the ground.
"No!" Vana shouted and ran over to Noctis. She gently stoked him. Noctis slowly closed his eyes. The Carnan knew his life was over.
