Warning: If you want to know the base of this story, read my Van Helsing 2, for this is merely a revision of my original story.
Disclaimer: Universal Studios, Stephen Sommers, and the crew of Van Helsing own the base characters, but I own Alvonia Elra, Sereno Harven, Enchantress, Darkbane, and Hervok Vorra. I don't own Vampire, The Gillman, The Invisible Man, The Wolf Man, or the Banshee. Thanks.
Author's Note: Thanks again for the reviews! I am sorry if this chapter is short, but there are some reasons! This chapter introduces Miles and what his personality is like, so, enjoy! Thanks again for the reviews!
Van Helsing: Legends of Blood Reign
Chapter 6: Mischoffe Miles
Alvonia walked ahead of the three. She kept the pace fast, informing them that the forest at nighttime was very dangerous, so they should keep a good look out. Every once in a while, Carl would gasp at the moving of a bush, but Alvonia assured him that they would protect him through anything. Matter of fact, Van Helsing was a hunter of monsters and Thonious could shift into anything he liked. Carl took Alvonia's words as comforting, although he wasn't sure if they should trust her. She was part Banshee, after all, although this man called "Harven" was said to have a grip over those he stared at.
"So you were hypnotized!" Thonious said, braking the still silence. She turned and still walked at the same time.
"You could say that" she said, smiling.
"So Harven is an evil man" Carl replied. She sighed and stopped. The moon above glistened upon the trees peacefully.
"Yes, like his cousin" she stopped quickly, breathing in. Van Helsing narrowed his eyebrows.
"Cousin?" he asked. She smiled and gave a small laugh that only she could hear.
"Yes, cousin, Mr. Van Helsing. I know this is typical, but his cousin was evil too. I…I don't wish to speak his name now. Not now" she said hurriedly. Van Helsing knew who she was going to say, but he wished not to bring back those memories.
"So tonight, we are looking for Mischoffe Miles?" Carl asked. When they began to continue, she stopped again.
"Ye…yes" she breathed. Only Thonious' and Alvonias' eyes could tell what was there: Mischoffe Miles, the doctor, was standing there, a blank expression on his face. Carl looked back and forth at the two. So did Gabriel.
"What is it?" Carl asked. Gabriel nodded his head. Alvonia turned, her eyes glowing blue. Thonious looked away and grinned, his features changing slowly. He then turned into Mischoffe Miles. "Oh, is that all?" the Friar asked simply. Gabriel watched Miles slowly and then Thonious appeared again. Van Helsing pointed his finger at Thonious and then the blank spot where Miles supposedly was standing. Alvonia took a step further and held her hand up. She was speaking very quietly. Thonious turned, a grin on his face.
"They're talking about 'New Arrivals'" he said. Gabriel looked from him to Alvonia. She was moving her lips very fast.
"Alvonia" Van Helsing said. She finished her sentence and turned, a strange look upon her face. "Alvonia, is Dr. Mischoffe Miles there?" he asked. She closed her eyes and pointed to the thin air.
"Go, talk to Van Helsing" she told him. They heard footsteps, and then a coughing.
"Van Helsing?" a shaky voice said. Gabriel nodded, feeling odd for responding to something he couldn't see. "Why have you come to my land?" he demanded. Gabriel cleared his throat and shifted his feet.
"I was sent by the Knights of the Holy Order to do God's work. Cardinal Jinnete wishes of me to find out about you and come back immediately. I learned that you know Sereno Harven?" he asked. Miles stood there for a moment and laughed.
"KNIGHTS of the HOLY ORDER?" he asked, laughing wildly. Van Helsing reached for his sword and held his hand upon the hilt calmly.
"Dr. Miles, if it is possible…" Miles cut him short.
"Nothing's possible with me, Left Hand of God!" the doctor spat. Gabriel was taken aback. This was only the first time he had been formally addressed by that name, but it wasn't his first time hearing it. Gabriel took it as an insult. He turned and looked at Alvonia. Her eyes looked back and forth at the two. Gabriel smoothly turned his head back to the spot where Miles stood.
"If you want it your way, then so be it! I have no room to speak against your wishes, Dr. Miles!" he announced. The doctor took a few steps backward.
"I won't listen to your prattling, Van Helsing!" he growled, turning away. A disapproving look was upon Thonious' face. Carl watched with wide eyes. Miles cleared his throat and sighed through clenched teeth.
"If you do not obey my commands, I shall take you and your travelers to the dungeons! My lord, my master, wishes to see you immediately!" he said. Gabriel's eyes darted to a place where he swore he saw wings. If it was Thonious, he would have never known, for his eyes were glued to the spot.
"And this 'Lord' of yours would be?" he began. Miles laughed again wildly and Alvonia reached her hand forward.
"MILES! Stop this now! You don't know how far this may go!" she said. Miles laughed again and shook his head. Gabriel's hand gripped tighter on his sword. He would be ready to attack at any moment. The doctor reached a hand out and smacked her across the face. Gabriel unleashed his sword and held it out.
"No" Alvonia said, holding her hand out. "Miles will be dealt with!" she said. Her appearance began to change quickly into a Banshee. Carl gasped at the sight and quickly apologized. Alvonia, or the Banshee, swiftly rose into the air and grabbed her hands out, gripping the claws on what Van Helsing thought was Miles. He noticed that there was a green glow about her. The scars of the Stunning Weapon must have been painful. Alvonia opened her mouth and a scream came out. The other three covered their ears at the noise. They could hear the yelling of Miles. She belted another scream out and finally changed back to her human form. A large thump was heard and Thonious noticed that the man was sprawled on the ground, a horrified look on his face. Alvonia clasped her hands together and smiled. "Now, to get to business" she began, eying the doctor. "We are going to take Miles back to his home and my task will be done, although yours…?" she gave Gabriel a confused look. He placed his sword back in its sheath.
"We were sent to find out information about Mischoffe Miles. I have learned that he is stubborn and ill-minded" he looked down. Although he couldn't see the man, he sensed something wrong about him. How had he become invisible, and why? Many unanswered questions were to be brought up.
"And I will make sure that no other 'things' come in your way!" she told him. He nodded his head.
"Thank you, Miss Elra!"
"It's Alvonia!" she said, a smiling covering her lips. Just then, the bushes next to them rumbled and a being emerged, a growl coming from its mouth. Alvonia gasped as she changed to the Banshee.
"The Gillman!"
Author's Note: Sorry if this chapter is a little short, but I wanted to just introduce Miles to the characters. In the next chapter, they will go back to Fortress Miles and the plot will begin to develop there. Expect characters to be divided! Thanks!
