Mic Mic: hey everyone. Thank you for reviewing. I'm glad you've given me your answers. Orginally this story was mostly canon sticking to the Arnold storyline and I am going to stay with that but I have grown interested in the lives of the "past" Arnold and Helga I'm going to continue their story a bit since it seems a bit cruel to leave the two in a state of betrayal while continuing our story. Don't worry our nine year old Arnold and Helga will be getting along.

Oh and this chappie is going to be in 3rd person. Or whatever person it is. You can figure it out.

Arnold Suave

"Howdy Arnold how are things going." Stinky began

"How are things going! How are things going you ask me! Terrible! I'm a vampire." Arnold exclaimed nearly pulling out his cornflower hair even further.

"It's not that bad Arnold like I told you before. You might as well accept it you don't have a choice anyway."

"No I'll never accept it."
Flashback
Arnold glared as he gripped the side of his chair digging his fingers deeper into the fabric as he looked out the window. "No I'll never accept it. She wouldn't betray me like that Grandpa!" he yelled angrily as he shook his head in disbelief.

"Ningen women are like that Arnold they'll always betray you...just like these raspberries. I thought they were good they look juicy and ripe almost perfect but that hourly trip to the bathroom I feel coming on tells me that were bad. Spoiled! Rotten to the core! Just like those women Arnold." Grandpa inquired thoughtfully as he plopped another raspberry thoughtfully into his mouth.

"She's not like that...Helga's different. She's the only full blood left ,you know we care about each other." Arnold said as he eyes stayed downcast. he remembered that night when she told him the war was coming. Was she luring him in all along. Did she really want this war and had tricked him into telling her their weakness just to get rid of him.

"She didn't see that I was a vampire...she only saw me...we would have finally broken the cycle if our child had liv-"

"Have you ever thought that maybe she purposefully didn't want that child...she was perfectly healthly not a thing wrong with her and all the sudden that child comes out dead. I think she killed it." he said in an angry voice.

Grandpa Phil was an old vampire. He had seen the hate between the races had felt it himself in his soul. It even consumed him a lighthearted vampire who usually would never utter such cruel words to his obviously hurting grandson but Arnold would never understand unless he faced the hard truth. Things like that did happen. People were killed each day it was a constant battle. His grandson was naiive believing in such things as "love conquering all" and "unity of the races" Grandpa could only wonder in reponse if there would ever truely be such a day.

"How dare you!" Arnold yelled. "If you weren't my Grandfather I'd-I'd-." Arnold's shoulders shook in pain. His Grandfather didn't know how badly it hurt to lose their child. They had loved that child so dearly from it's safe home in it's mother's womb. They had even gotten the room ready always talking about their baby thinking about their baby and longing for the experience of being parents. Then when that day finally came something terrible had happened.

Everything had gone wrong. It had been too early for the baby's birth even worse Arnold had not been informed about Helga going into labor until about an hour into it. He as the father held himself responsible. He was supposed to transfer his powers to her to keep her out of pain and to protect the baby yet for some reason his powers did not keep her out of pain. She had cried and screamed and held his hand tightly through it all and when they had finally delivered the baby together with only the help of the workers in the castle the baby had only been alive for a short time.

Arnold remembered the pride he felt as he had held that tiny bundle in his arms. As Helga had wiped their baby clean. But worst of all he remembered when Helga had held their baby gently in her arms feeding it tenderly and the sudden struggle for breath the baby had. He remembered his franticness the immense fear in his heart of not knowing what to do. The frightened eyes of his wife as she looked down at her child thinking all it needed was a quick burping hoping that was the case but it had continued struggling until it's cheeks turned blue and it's body stilled.

Arnold came back from that painful memory quickly. They had all blamed her telling her she had choked her child that she was not a good mother that she would never be. Could that have been why she had left him? Was she afraid he would still want children and that the same thing might happen again.

'Helga was reluctant for a while about making love.' he thought curiously. Still it had only been 2 years since they had lost their first child. For Arnold it had been a frustrating year as she hadn't wanted to anything AT ALL. Luckily by Christmas she had warmed up to him again and they had been able to be intimate, still he didn't think she would ever betray him. Leading an army to hunt the vampires...that was simply ridiculous. His Grandfather had suggested they go into hiding but Arnold couldn't, not without his wife. He trusted her...trusted she would come back to him hoping all this was a nightmare or either that it would all end happily. -End Flashback

An Hour Later

"Well I might as well face it. I'm a vampire and there's nothing I can do about it."

"Bout' time." Stinky said after Arnold's hour long tantrum.

"Now, Arnold I have a job for you. You see me and Gloria decided we should just be friends. The boyfriend girlfriend thing just didn't work out for us." Stinky said rather forlorn.

"Oh I'm sorry to hear that Stinky." Arnold said in mock support. 'NOT!' He thought.

Stinky frowned angrily but continued on knowing that this mission would be wonderful no more than enough payback for Arnold's snide remarks.

"Anyway I's done found me another woman. Gloria never knew about my being a vampire but my new woman will. Oh, yes she will."

'Please don't be Helga please don't be Helga!' Arnold thought silently.

"It's Helga. I've always loved her ever since we broke up and now I have decided that she is going to be mine again and you are going to make my wishes be fulfilled."

'What am I now your genie?' Arnold thought snidely making Stinky smile evilly.

"I want you to get her when there's no one around. Bring her here. That's when she'll meet me in my improved vampire state. Everyone knows that a vampire who bites his wanted gets his wanted if you know what I mean." Stinky said smiling mysteriously while licking his lips.

(Mic Mic: Everyone who thinks Stinky and Helga should be 2gether you r in for a treat so are you Helga Arnold fanatics!)

Arnold turned around headed for the exit with a worried look on his face. Helga was his friend now. And Arnold still had ethics. He knew it wasn't right for her to be forced to love Stinky. Okay so maybe Arnold semi-wished that Helga and himself were more than friends but he after all was only 10. Helga had confessed her love for him and kissed him after all.

"Arnold you will do this without hesitation or must I makes you do it." Stinky said.

"No Stinky I mean 'master vampire' I won't fail you."

Stinky walked towards a tree stump, but when he sat down on it the chair turned into a royal type chair with blood red velvet on the armrests and back.

"Hurry Arnold. I am not a very patient vampire." Stinky then began to become shrouded in fog and disappeared from Arnold's view.

Arnold then noticed he was back in his body. He closed his eyes and concentrated and began to feel his pointed ears and teeth changing to normal size and length without causing him the slightest discomfort.

He sighed and changed into his school clothes and lay down on his bed looking up through his skylight. He was going to have to go through with the mission. It wasn't like he had any choice. He began to realize something though.

'What if Stinky didn't bite Helga but I did. Maybe I might- naw!' Arnold's thoughts ceased. He was only 10, but hey he was mature for his age, wasn't he?

Flashback

Helga looked on into the distance from "her" room as rare tears fell from her cheeks. "I didn't betray you Arnold. I didn't betray you." she said hopelessly.

"Don't lie to yourself woman. You betrayed him and you know it. Giving away all their weaknesses and waging war againest them I'd call that betrayal."

"Let me go back to him. He has to know the truth." she said angerily the tears were no longer sad but filled with a deep hate and anger for the thing standing before her.

"He does know the truth he knows that you have betrayed him for another for not only your own race but for me. Soon he'll know how you killed your own child-"

"Shut up! Shut up!" she yelled angerily. She didn't know. She hadn't meant to hurt her child. She hadn't shook it or done anything irregular only let it breastfed from her like any other mother. But it was still her fault. Her baby had choked on her milk. It had been she that was to protect that child her and Arnold had loved so deeply yet she couldn't save it no matter how hard she had tried.

"Then you shut up and stay here with me and he will never know your shame."

"I don't take kindly to threats." Helga answered with a sharp glare.

"Then he will know. You will go down forever as the full blooded human who killed her child and betrayed her husband all for the sake of pride. That's why it is exactly the root of all evil."

"Arnold wouldn't want me to bow to you or anybody. I know that I didn't betray him and that's all that matters despite whatever the books say."

"Oh they will be accurate don't worry I'll make sure you live up to your reputation." the being said with a smirk as it's hand waved over Helga's face causing her to pass out. -End Flashback
