Disclaimer: I don't own "Van Helsing"
Chapter 2: Meeting a legend-
Sarah walked through the snow in the forest alone for a long time. She and her mother were now left. It wouldn't be long now before Dracula would start killing them. Life wasn't fair to her now. She was only thirteen and too young to die. So many times she wished her ancestor didn't make that vow. But somebody had to do it, one way or another.
"Sarah!" shouted a voice.
Sarah turned around, and saw her ten year old friend Maria. She smiled a bit. Maria was one of Sarah's few friends in the whole village.
"How'd it go?" she asked.
Sarah looked at Maria with tears.
"Maria...my uncle..." she started.
"I know. Your mother told me. I'm sorry." whispered Maria.
"It's all right. It happens all the time,"
"No it doesn't,"
"YES IT DOES!"
Sarah's voice echoed through the forest. Birds started chirping away, and the wind whistled loudly.
"I have no family left except my mother. And what'll happen if she ends up dead in front of my doorstep, huh? You tell me." Asked Sarah
"I'll tell you what'll happen. You're gonna stop Dracula, that's what'll happen. It's in your blood, and you have the guts," Maria comforted. "Come on. Let's go home. My mom made some hot chocolate. It'll cheer you up"
Sarah and Maria walked out of the woods and talked. When they got to the village, Sarah noticed something strange. Everyone had pitchforks, and shovels, and guns. Maria stayed behind, while Sarah pushed through the crowd as her mother's voice sounded.
"Let me see your faces," she gave an order.
"Why?" said a strange voice.
"Because we don't trust strangers,"
"I don't trust anyone,"
"Michael, what's going on?" Sarah asked a boy about her age.
"Two guys just came in here. I don't know what they look like, or who they are." griped Michael.
"Boost me up,"
"Oh no. I know where you're going. The last time I did, I had a bruise the size of China,"
Michael crossed his arms and stuck his nose up in the air. When he took one look at Sarah, she had her bottom lip sticking out.
"Not the puppy dog pout! Anything but that!" said Michael covering his eyes
"I can't believe I'm doing this," said Michael holding Sarah's legs.
Sarah finally got her balance on Michael, and steadied herself. What she saw was really strange.
"Can you see them?" asked Michael.
"Yep! One of them looks like a monk." answered Sarah
"Good. That means no cussing. What about the other one?"
"He sort of looks familiar. I need to get closer,"
"Closer?"
"You heard me."
Suddenly everyone was moving toward the strangers. Michael was being pushed out of the way making him fall along with Sarah. They hit the ground.
"Ouch! That's twice today, I hit my butt!" complained Sarah.
"Um Sarah..." began Michael.
"I can't believe this. I feel like I'm jinxed."
"Sarah!"
"What?!"
"Look."
Sarah looked up and saw three vampires coming over. They looked like they were going to attack. And they were coming right...behind...her mother.
"Oh great. Give me my gun," sighed Sarah
Michael dug into Sarah's pack, and took out her favorite gun. Sarah got up, and ran out of the crowd to her mother.
"Mom!" she cried
"I don't need any help," said her mother ignoring Sarah.
"Really?" asked the stranger.
Michael had time to get out of the crowd, and he grabbed Sarah's arm.
"Let's get out of..."
Michael didn't have time to finish as people started running and screaming.
"Oh shoot. Get out of here! Take Maria!" Sarah cried
"Where is she?" asked Michael.
Michael and Sarah looked around through the crowd. With all the commotion, they couldn't find her.
"I say we split up." Suggested Michael.
"No. We stick together!" cried Sarah
"There she is!"
Sarah looked and saw Maria hugging a pole crying. The two teenagers ran over to her.
"Maria, you have to get out of here!" urged Sarah
"I can't," cried Maria.
Michael desperately tried to pry Maria's fingers, Sarah stood watch to warn them if any vampires were coming their way.
"Sarah, look out!" yelled Michael.
Sarah turned around just in time to duck out of Aleera's way. When she got up, she could hear her cackling in the air. She thought it was a game to torture Sarah like that.
"Which one was that?"
"The crazy one!" gritted Sarah. "Now this time, I'm going to tell you guys this nicely: GET OUT OF HERE AND GO HOME WHERE IT'S SAFE!"
Maria and Michael saluted Sarah
"Yes ma'm!" they both said in unison
Sarah slapped her forehead as the two children ran through the scrambling crowd. Suddenly, sharp nails dug into her shoulders and picked her up. Sarah looked up and it was Aleera.
"Do you like to fly?" she laughed.
"You've done it now Aleera! You've done it now! Put me down!" Sarah cried
"As you wish,"
Aleera let go of Sarah dropping her as the sun came out. Sarah was smarter than that to let herself be a damsel in distress. As she fell, she caught a branch at a nearby tree. The only problem was that it was fragile. It snapped in half, and Sarah fell all the way down. She closed her eyes waiting for her doom. But then, something caught her. Not a claw, not a thousand pillows randomly sitting in the middle of town square, but arms gently holding her. She opened her eyes to face the other stranger. He wore all black: Black coat; Black boots; Black cape, you name it.
"You all right?" he asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Can you put me down now?" Sarah asked.
And so the stranger put her down safely on the ground. Sarah looked up at the sky and saw the sun. It was what driven away the vampires. The stranger bet down and whispered in her ear.
"Go find some shelter. Now." he ordered
Sarah gave him a sour look as her mother came out with a sword in her hand. Sarah took out her own sword too following her mother to the well as they heard a noise. Anna, Sarah, and the stranger looked inside the well.
"Uh, Van Helsing..." said the friar
Sarah's ears perked up. Did he say Van Helsing? The legendary monster hunter she heard about? Before she could ask those kinds of questions, wind flew past her, and she turned around to see her mother in the clutches of Aleera.
"Ooh. Why that little..." Sarah raged.
Sarah got out her gun and started following Aleera around the village. On her way there, she almost got caught by Verona. She rolled on the ground, and the only place she could think of to hide was an inn. She got in safely and slammed the door shut. She looked out a window and saw Marishka on a roof transforming into a young woman pulling arrows out of her body.
"Hello Sarah. My dear," said a chilling voice.
Sarah cautiously turned around. She noticed her mother cornered by Aleera, and now she was cornered by Verona.
"Hey look! Fresh meat!" Sarah pointed from behind Verona.
Verona turned around hissing falling for Sarah's trick. When she wasn't looking, Sarah ran out to her mother hugging her arm. Verona turned back and saw mother and child together. She smiled.
"Clever girl. Very clever." She sneered
Anna and Sarah backed away against the wall as Aleera and Verona walked toward them, licking their lips.
"The last of the Valerious," she licked.
Sarah tried to punch Verona, but she grabbed her arm forcing her to the ground. Aleera ran her cold fingers along her throat as Verona pushed her hair away.
"I could feel fresh blood running through her veins,"
"I want first bite," announced Aleera.
Verona started roaring at her sister, and Aleera roared back. Sarah wanted to cover her ears for their inhumane screams but she couldn't. Tears streamed down her face as Verona bent her fangs toward her neck. Just when doom was about to meet her, the two vampires started roaring. Sarah stood up as Verona and Aleera transformed into their ugly bat form and flew away. Anna bent down towards her daughter.
"Are you all right?" she asked her voice full of worry.
"I'm fine," answered Sarah wiping her tears away. "What do you think scared them away?"
"Maybe that stranger killed Marishka. Let's go,"
By the time Anna and Sarah went outside, there was another crowd.
"Don't they ever stop?" asked Sarah annoyed.
"Remember Sarah: We don't trust strangers" warned Anna
"Yeah, Yeah."
"Come on,"
Anna and Sarah pushed their way through the crowd. Sarah wanted to get a better view as usual, so she went on top of the well. Unfortunately, her sport was taken by the Undertaker.
"And what name, my good sir, do I carve..." he began
Before the Undertaker could finish, Sarah pushed him off. Now she could see well.
"You stay out of my way, before I shoot you in the face," threatened Sarah.
"She means it! She shot someone before!" cried Maria running from out of her house.
"His name is Van Helsing," said Anna now out of the crowd.
Now things were getting good. Everyone whispered the name to each other, and Sarah could hear Michael and Maria fighting.
'I wanna see!" shouted Maria
"No way! You're a girl," protested Michael.
"What's that got to do with anything?"
Sarah shook her head as she step down to the ground. Van Helsing stood up in front of the Valerious duet.
"Next time, stay close. You two are no good to me dead" he warned.
"Well I'll say this for you. You've got courage. He's the first one to kill a vampire in over a hundred years. I'd say that's earned him a drink," announced Anna
