(A/N: I'm back. Guess what. I'm sitting here in the complete dark and I am completely content. (Glance to right.) VAMPRESS WHAT DID YOU DO?!?!?!?!
Vampress (or Ali): It wasn't me!!!
(Author look to left.) Lycan? (or Bri)
Bri: I didn't do anything either.
Me: Sorceress?
Sorceress (Tracy): I didn't do anything!!
Me: My friends are quite unusual, (and yes I do use my friends names in my stories)
Vampress: Shut up, Angel.
Me: You shut up!!
Vampress (shakes finger): Now, now, now, what kind of an angel are we?
Me (glaring at her): Have you been reading Dracula again?
Vampress (tries to look innocent.): Maybe…
(Author feels neck.) Everything seems to be in one piece and there was completely no point to what I just wrote except to be stupid. Yes, that was an actual conversation I had with my friends. Scary huh? On with the story. I don't own Van Helsing.)
Chapter Two
"Wait!" Ali shouted before they could disappear.
"What now?" Liz asked lowering the ring as the light vanished.
"We can't leave yet. We have to play tonight at that club." Ali said.
"I'll get the Liz's keyboard." Bri said leaving the house. Liz followed her to the door way.
"Just don't get killed!" Liz shouted after her down the street and closed the door.
Fifteen minuets later, Bri returned with the keyboard.
"Ali, where are your drums?" Liz asked taking the keyboard from Bri.
"I snuck over yesterday to set them up. We also left's Bri's guitar there." Ali replied.
"Bri, any sight of Dev?" Liz asked.
"None whatsoever."
"Good, now let's get going or well be late." Liz said as the girls left the house together.
Dev couldn't waste any more time. He had to get back to headquarters. The council members had decided to go ahead with their operation, resurrecting Dracula. Tonight was the first night. They were going to start off with one of his brides, Aleera.
He found Nathan hovering in the crowd.
"Am I to late?" Dev asked.
"No, they were just about to start. Where is Liz?" Nathan asked looking around.
"We have a slight problem with that. She doesn't go by all of her last name." Dev said.
"Which is Van, right?" Nathan asked.
"That's only half. The second half I'm afraid is worse than anything."
"What is it?" Nathan asked.
"It's…" Dev looked around and lowered is voice to barely above a whisper. "Van Helsing."
"She's related to that awful son of a bitch!" Nathan said shocked. (A/N: I'm about to kill my own character for saying that)
"Unfortunately, yes." Dev said. Nathan was silent. He appeared to be thinking.
"I'll try and turn her. Maybe I'll have better luck than you did." Nathan said.
"If she finds out you're a vampire, look out for her spinning blades." Dev warned as Nathan ran off into the night.
The crowd cheered as Bri, Ali and Liz finished another song. Liz stepped up to the mike.
"Thank you. We are the Gothwins (female warrior in Elvish) and are you having fun yet?" Liz shouted. A roar erupted from the crowd. "Okay, now we are going to play a song we wrote ourselves. Hope you like it."
Liz returned to her keyboard and began to play a soft melody. Suddenly, her playing sped up and became more fierce. Bri joined in with the guitar and Ali bashed on her drums. Colored strobe lights erupted from the ceiling and flew around the room filled with dry ice fog.
"You don't know what you've done
You don't know what you've released in me
You've pushed me past me past my limit.
I bet you think that you have won" Liz sang.
"Well it's not over…" Bri sang holding the note and Ali echoing her. Liz's voice cut in.
"Well it's not over till I say it is
Right now, this is what I say"
The three began to sing.
"You don't what you've done
It's time for you to fall
And there's no help for you to call"
Liz's voice rang out.
"It's just you and me
C'mon and let us see
Who'll have the victory"
Bri took center stage and jammed on her guitar for a while. Liz began to sing again.
"My pain is growing
My anger flowing
Throughout my veins"
"Throughout my veins" Bri and Ali echoed and Liz went on.
"The thunder roars and the lightning flashes
I start to fall and my hope crashes
And burns
I see a weakness
I'm gonna take it"
"As my strength fades into nothingness" Bri and Ali sing. Liz continued.
"You don't what you've done
It's time for you to fall
And there's no help for you to call
It's just you and me
C'mon and let us see
Who'll have the victory"
Bri and Ali leaned toward their mics and sang.
"You don't what you've done
It's time for you to fall
And there's no help for you to call
It's just you and me
C'mon and let us see
Who'll have the victory"
Liz began to sing with ferocity.
"You now know what you've done
And now I made you fall
And there was no help for you to call
Now I guess they'll see
It was my destiny
Who had the victory?"
Liz held the last note long and the music faded.
"Guess what?" she sang.
"It was me." The music exploded again and soon the song was over.
"Hey, I'm Liz" she said into the microphone.
"I'm Bri"
"And I'm Ali."
The girls spoke together.
"And we are the Gothwins. Thank you and good-night!" A roar erupted from the crowd as the girls walked of stage to a table.
"I think we did well." Ali said.
"Me too. Did you see how much they liked that last song. Where did you get the inspiration for that Liz?" Bri asked.
"I'll give you three guesses, and a clue is it happen six months ago."
"Who knew a near death experience would be so fun?" Ali said smiling.
A boy with dark hair walked over. "Can I sit here?" he asked.
"As long as you don't bite, sure." Bri said smiling.
Liz's back arched and she grabbed the edge of the table. She still remained as normal as possible even though she knew a great evil was happening somewhere in the city. This is when she hated being part Angel.
"You okay?" Ali asked her.
"Yeah." Liz said still gripping the table. He knuckles were turning white. The feeling of pain passed and Liz let go.
"What was that?" Ali asked.
"Power pains. They're like growing pains." Liz whispered back. The three didn't see a large group enter the club.
"I'm Nathan." the boy said.
"I'm Ali, this is Bri and that's Liz."
"You did great tonight." he said and turned to Liz. "How did you ever write all those songs?" he asked.
Liz wasn't paying attention. She was concentrating on her feelings. Something was not right.
"I'm sorry, what?" Liz said turning to Nathan and then leaned back. He was almost three inches from her face. "Have you ever heard of anything called personal space?"
"Sorry." he said leaning back.
Liz felt a pain in her head. "I'm sorry I have to go." she said rushing out.
"Liz, what is it?" Bri shouted.
"Angel!!" Ali shouted after her.
Liz ran into the alley next to the club clutching her head. She felt it. The darkness growing around her, consuming her. A great evil had returned. It was close…very close. Liz felt a hand on her shoulder as the feeling vanished. She turned to see Nathan.
"Are you alright?" he asked. His hand was freezing cold. Liz backed up.
"Yeah, I'm just not feeling well." she lied. Get out of there!! Nathan is a vampire!! her mind shouted at her. Suddenly, they heard shouts from inside the club.
"Ali! Bri!" Liz shouted running forward. Nathan caught her and pulled her into him. Liz slid the her Tojo blades out and flicked them on. She rammed on into his chest and he screamed in pain. Nathan dropped Liz to the ground. She scrambled up and ran into the club. There were vampires everywhere.
"What the heck?" Liz shouted shocked. She pulled out three silver stakes and switched her tojo blades into stakes. She jumped up on the bar. "HEY BATS FOR BRAINS!!!" she shouted. They continued to roar on. Liz threw the three stakes and three of the vampires fell down dead.
Silence fell over the room and all eyes turned to Liz.
"Now that I have your attention…" Liz said smiling looking exactly like Van Helsing. Liz pulled out her pistol with the werewolf venom bullets in them. She fired off and struck them down. Soon, all the vampires were gone.
"Liz!" she heard. Bri was leaning Ali, who had collapsed on the ground.
Liz ran over as fear weld up in her chest. "Oh, please tell me she wasn't bitten." she prayed. Liz bent over Ali. She had a gash on her forehead. Liz grabbed a cloth napkin and used it for a makeshift bandage. Liz looked Ali over. No bite marks. That was a relief.
All of a sudden, Liz was flung backwards against the wall. She hit it with a thud and slid to the ground.
"Nice to see you dearie." came a voice Liz never wanted to hear again.
"Aleera." she whispered in disgust. The bride stood over her and laughed. Liz tried to get up. She did extremely slowly, but got up nonetheless.
"How did you get here Aleera?" Liz asked slowly inching toward Bri and Ali.
"I was brought back. Now, I shall finish what my master started." Aleera hissed at her.
"See ya!" Liz shouted and she, Bri and Ali were enveloped by a blue light and vanished.
The girls appeared in the library of Valerious Manor. Ali was slowly coming around.
"You alright?" Liz asked grabbing her throbbing shoulder.
Ali nodded. "Where am I?" she asked.
"Valerious Manor." Bri said.
"Liz brought us back?" Ali asked. Liz nodded. Liz started to fell a little lightheaded. She ran her fingers through her hair and looked at them. Blood covered her fingers.
"You must have hit glass when you were flung back." Bri said.
Liz nodded. "I'm going to find Van Helsing."
Liz left the room and ran down the hall, the sound of her boots echoing off the walls. She entered the Armory to see Van Helsing looking at the map of Transylvania. He turned and saw her. The monster hunter smiled as they walked toward each other.
Van Helsing hugged her. "Where have you been? You're late." he said.
"I to take care of something. Van Helsing we have a problem. In my time, there is a group of vampires. They brought back Aleera!" Liz told him.
Van Helsing was shocked. Liz swayed and fell forward. Van Helsing caught her. He picked her up and took her to her room. He set her down on the bed and tried to lift her head up. The monster hunter felt blood on his hands. He patched Liz up and then went to get Anna. Liz was right. They had a huge problem.
