Come Back To Me
A/N: Well… I don't have much to say, really, lol! Except… Thank you for the reviews! So here you go and please review:)
Disclaimer: Van Helsing, will you marry me, as your illegal wife?
Death is Unacceptable
"Dracula…" Anna hissed, eyes flaring with anger. Dracula was behind her, looking at her. Dracula's lips were curled into a amused smile. The Brides behind him were grinning with pleasure, their human teeth growing into sharp fangs.
"Well, well, look who we have here, my lovelies. It's Anna Valerious. I thought you died, killed by him!" Dracula snarled and his eyes darted to Van Helsing, who glared him back.
Carl was looking a bit feverishly at the vampires. Marishka noticed and she hissed, nearing towards Carl. Carl gave a frightened squeal as he backed away. Van Helsing came in front of Carl as Carl fumbled through he's bag, searching for a weapon. He's hands touched a bottle of holy water and he drew it out.
"You never fail to die, do you?" Aleera spat, her eyes glinting dangerously. Her hands were stretching towards Anna, craving for Anna's blood.
"You can't kill me, Aleera." Anna countered, her hands gripping her saber. Aleera cackled.
"We can't kill you, but we can kill your pretty little friends over there!" Verona hissed. She was closing in on the two mortals.
"Master, can I not kill them? Please?" Marishka grinned and giggled like a little girl. Dracula nodded and said, "Kill them!"
All the Brides attacked at once; as Van Helsing shot with he's two pistols. Carl sprayed holy water all over himself and grabbed for another weapon, which was rings of garlic.
"Here, take that!" Carl shouted as he flung the rings of garlic at Marishka, who hissed out of the way and swatted the rings of garlic away from her. She then hissed again, outstretched and came to pounce on Carl, the holy water still lingering on him. Van Helsing shot some bullets and it hit her squarely into her back. She snarled but then giggled as she healed herself quickly. Marishka burst upwards towards the roof with a amused chuckle and out of the Valerious Manor. Dracula laughed and did the same, making a horribly large hole on the roof. The remaining brides crashed through the big open windows, which Anna admired so dearly.
"That wretch! The vampire broke the windows! It took months to do that!" Anna heard someone say below the Valerious Manor as they heard screams coming out of the village yet again.
"Van Helsing, we have to go!" Anna shouted as she grabbed her pistols, a knife which she put in her boots, her stake and she gripped her saber tightly so she didn't let it fall away from her grip. She ran down the stairs and Van Helsing followed her, shouting, "I'll take Dracula!"
"But Van Helsing, you can't kill him! You killed him with the werewolf venom but now that we cured it, you can't kill him!" Carl shouted as he followed down as well, holding onto the woolen brown bag with all he's inventions and weapons in them.
"Don't be sure of that!" Van Helsing shouted back and grabbed a stake with the Valerious crest on it, his crossbow, a few arrows and some holy water.
"What do you mean?" Anna shouted as she burst the doors wide open, only to find Aleera in front of her.
"Hello Princess!" she cackled as she hit her hard on the stomach. Anna hit the wall in the Valerious Manor hard, making her difficult to pick herself up from the weight of her weapons. Her saber flew a few inches away from her. She groaned as she saw Aleera eyeing Van Helsing.
If I cannot kill the Valerious, then I shall kill Van Helsing! Then Anna will suffer terribly and hopefully rot to hell! She thought with an evil grin as she soared up into the air.
Van Helsing though was running towards Dracula, who seemed to be a bit disinterested with this fight. He was more preoccupied by how hungry he was, it seemed, because he was feeding on more or less five humans. When at last he ate his fill, he's eyes glared sharply at Van Helsing, who was shooting arrows at Aleera. Aleera shrieked as she flew out of the way, her arms outstretched to try to hit Van Helsing.
Carl, meanwhile, was combating with Verona, who was looking at Carl boredly. "Come on! If your gonna attack, attack!" he shouted courageously. Verona gazed at him boredly.
"But you are no fun!" she said as she hit Carl hard with her supernatural powers.
Anna was getting up quickly and she was grabbing her saber. She was struck in the back and her saber went flying again as Marishka dug her claws into Anna. Fortunately, Anna couldn't feel pain in her ghost form. She felt she was carried up the air.
"Are you having fun, Princess?" she screeched and she suddenly let go of Anna, who screamed. It was a long length to fall and if it were a normal living being, the person would have probably died. But she was not. She was a ghost.
She flipped herself around in a catlike motion and coincidently hit Verona on her back, which was playing with Carl.
Carl looked thankfully at Anna as Verona snarled a curse and this time started to attack Anna.
Carl quickly rustled through he's brown bag for any other weapons and his hands closed around an object.
Yes! He thought as he drew it out of his bag. It was a strange looking object; it looked like a throwing spear.
"Ha! Take that!" Carl shouted as he threw the spear at Marishka, who was coming right at Carl with her sharp claws.
The spear twirled as it struck straight for Marishka's heart. This wouldn't have really hurt the vampire, but Carl's inventions had some more tricks.
The spear hit Marishka and she screamed in pain and rage, but something was wrong. Light was quickly pouring out of where the spear had been and Marishka screamed in horror as she saw herself melting away. "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" she screamed hysterically as she started to claw at her body, which was boiling from the inside.
Verona and Aleera had stopped fighting and they all stared in horror at Marishka burning and rotting. Before long, specks of disgusting green goo flashed and exploded. Carl's invention flew as well and fell an inch away from Carl.
"Good job Carl!" Carl heard Van Helsing and Anna shout as Anna stabbed at Verona's heart.
Verona's eyes flared with fury as she flew up into the air and turned to Carl.
Aleera was secretly smiling. She will get the undivided attention again from her master. If only Verona would disappear…
"NO! You killed Marishka!" Verona snarled and spat as she knocked Carl with all her might. Carl gave a frightened cry but hit with he's stake nonetheless. Anna came to his aid and Van Helsing was about to as well. Aleera let him.
But Dracula came in Van Helping's way. "Do you really think I would let you kill my brides again, Gabriel? Your little friend there killed Marishka! If I was to feel love, I would have loved her dearly. (A/N: Um that sounds a bit weird, but anyways, back to the story!) But NO! I feel fury! You could have accepted my offer! We could have been brothers, partners again! But what did you do? You literally spat in my face!" he roared and swiftly used he's devilish powers to knock Van Helsing.
"Some things should be left forgotten!" Van Helsing shouted as he backed away. If he was going to be killed, this would be it. But, he felt, Dracula was resisting to killing him… yet.
"Forgotten? Are you sure?" Dracula hissed and with a cold smile, he took a step in front of Van Helsing.
Van Helsing didn't answer. HE still wondered. But if the past was something he couldn't come close to, he wouldn't go after it. "I could kill you now, Gabriel. But I'm offering this one thing you have desired to find in your life. A simple yes and you will get what you want!" Dracula snarled, taking another step forward. His cold eyes were fixed sharply on Van Helsing.
Van Helsing stared at Dracula. He knew he's crossbow and any other weapons were no use. He didn't know if the werewolf venom was still lingering in him but he guessed that if it was in him, it'll be the right time to use it to his advantage.
He looked back at Anna and Carl, who were fighting Verona, injuring her pretty badly and looked back at Dracula, who was smiling.
"Yes, I'm really sure," Van Helsing spoke and concentrated, closing he's eyes. He felt a sudden madness and hunger bursting into him. It was the feeling of the werewolf venom and he felt very much alive. He knew the werewolf venom still lived.
"What are you doing?" Dracula hissed and his cold gaze flickered with fear a bit.
Van Helsing gave a silent growl in response and looked up at Dracula slowly. His eyes were changed into a predator's eyes, very cat like and looking very… hungry.
A/N: Hehehe! I feel very evil! Anyways, hope you liked it! (It's a bit mixed up, the fighting sequences and stuff, but I did my best!) Thank you:) Read and Review!
