Chapter 3

Selina V.S. Van Helsing

Selina's Point of View

I don't think Linda and Valdemar would be blamed in experiment's fault. Victor will take care of it because Valdemar is his son. Poor scientist! He hoped to prove his father that he can make right decisions without his help. Well, I had my own business. When Victor gave an order, I and my brave command wore leather coats, pants and high boots – our usual uniform. I took my favorite submachine gun "Max" or "Maximum". And I still was thinking about Vlad … Hey! Had I called him Vlad? What happened with 'Snow queen' as my friends called me. Oh, I feel that I want him … badly. I hope he can't read my mind. He is so handsome and cold guy. I like it.

We were walking down the night streets. Heartbeat of sleeping people' was in the air, I could sense it. Fools, they don't know about danger that waits for them. I was serious and concentrate. But not my guys! Black-haired Mirek looked sleepily; red-haired Alexander leaned against the wall, drawn with graffiti, careless Lora broke the silence:

"Sel, the sun will rise soon. Lets go, there isn't anything interesting here."

My sensors cried about danger.

"Lora, be careful!"

I was just in time. Silver dart cut the air but Lora caught it.

"Mirek, Alex, Lora it's a … Van Helsing!" – I shouted.

Yes, it was him. Left Hand of God, warrior of light, monster hunter and so on. Looks like cowboy! I couldn't see his face; it was covered with black kerchief and a hat – western hero indeed. But he moved fast and shot from the arbalest skillfully. I ordered to stand behind me but Lora didn't listen! She turned into her hell-beast form and attacked Van Helsing. Fool! He didn't try to escape; he stabbed her with wooden knife into her stomach. I saw her dark blood streaming from her wound.

"You, bastard!" – I screamed and put oа my sword.

We started fighting. I wanted to win time for Alex and Mirek to carry Lora to the nearest physician. She was breathless but still fighting with death. I ordered guys to leave me, first they argued but Lora's life was on the hairspring. While I was giving orders, Van Helsing had charged his arbalest and …

I watched the dart flying straightly to my heart …

Van Helsing's Point of view

Troop "C" impressed me. Especially their leader. She fought passionately, and I respect her for responsibility, I thought that to save somebody's life can only people. I shot from my arbalest. Now it worked faster, thanks to cleverness of our scientists. Vampire caught my dart and threw it away. She looked angrily and hated me. Turned vampires are more aggressive than nobility. She took off her coat and threw it away as dart and moved to me with naked sword. Brave jerk, must I say! We crossed our swords with force. I saw evil fire in her eyes; she chose my neck as aim. With hissing and growling she made dash like a snake. I dislodged her weapon and directed my sword to her throat. What a glance! Her amber eyes can kill! Her canines became longer; I knew that she wanted to tear me on pieces. She knew, I can easily poke her heart with wooden weapon and before I started to speak she said:

"Come on, what are you waiting for? Kill me."

I blinked. For the first time in my life, enemy asks for death. Some demons pleaded to leave them alive but not to kill them.

"I beg you pardon?"

"Just kill me. I heard great Van Helsing doesn't torture non-prevailing."

She looked calm and tired from life.

"You want to die?"

"I don't afraid of death."

I looked into her deep and cold eyes. No soul, no heart. Just ice and snow. I've seen this picture before, but I don't remember where.

"First, say what were you looking for?"

She was shocked with my words. She laughed, partly madly, partly nervously.

"You think I'll tell you everything!"

"Yes."

"Fool! You can torture me, but won't hear a word from me!"

She laughed again. She is right; I'm a fool if I think so. While I was trying to calm down, a strange demon appeared behind her with wooden stake. I pulled her aside and shot from my pistol. Demon or … Well, that creature didn't look like demon, better to say it was like a mongrel of werewolf and vampire. Monster growled deeply and said … He can talk?

"That's not your business, human! Stand aside!"

It moved closer to vampire and growled:

"Death to Nospheraty!"

She looked at monster without fear. I took her iron sword and cut its head.

Selina's POV

It was close. I could feel death's breathing. But that hunter, Van Helsing saved my life. Why he did it? I watched him going away. His wavy hair was flapping on cool wind. Who is he in reality? Why did he save me? Questions and no answers. I touched monster's body with my sword. Awful beast. Then I looked at Van Helsing again, he was going slowly like walking, so I asked:

"Why? Why did you save me?"

No answer. I closed eyes and breathed in deeply. When someone saves somebody's life, rescued one must pay back for it. But I have no conscience. I'm just a turned vampire – ideal machine to kill, no regret, no fear, no mercy.
