I love Castlevania and always will I think. I love vampires like many people do and Castlevania seemed to amplify those feelings. I've played almost everyone with interest and fun. Although I must say I always thought it would be cool to have a female Belmont that killed vampires as well. So now that's where this little plot bunny hit. Like many of my ideas this one stayed afloat and I just thought it nice to write it down on something more understandable. I hate losing ideas and letting them sink into the abyss of no return called my brain. Heh heh heh. And as much as I love the series I don't own it neither do I make profit from this story. Nope that's all Capcom I'm afraid. Although I will admit Sarah, Angel, and Darrius are all mine. Enjoy.

Castlevania: Other Tales

Chapter 1: Fright Night Drivethru

The young girl spun around, whip in hand and slashed. The whip caught the beast in the face. To her, vampires are beasts. Creatures of the night who feed upon the living both as necessity and a pleasure. Sarah Belmont wasn't always aware of whom she is but she always felt as if she were fated for something far beyond her control. The female vampire hissed at her in anger and leapt with inhuman agility. She may have just found out her real last name but the blood in veins said otherwise, she forced energy through the whip as she let it strike the vampire again. She growled as she picked herself up off the ground after being hit.

"You think you can kill me idiotic hunter. Ha ha ha." She was surprised the Sarah didn't seem offended.

"Pathetic, you haven't laid one hit upon me and yet you call me idiotic. I'm not denying it by any means but then again I'm not the one covered in whip marks either." Sarah smiled smugly.

"Why...you!." The vampire instantly disappeared and reappeared behind her without a sound.

Sarah would've been too slow had she not been a Belmont before she stabbed the creature, it turned into a pile of dust on the ground. The only solid thing left was a small silver dagger. Sarah tapped her foot impatiently and tightened the grip on her whip.

"I don't need your help wretched one." Sarah stated stretching both her arms over her head.

She stepped from the shadows and smiled, flashing familiar teeth. Her blond hair flowed down her back complimenting her crystal blue eyes. She wore modern clothes and yet seemed too delicate to wear them. She wore crimson jewel encrusted in silver and matching earrings. Her humanity did show through her gaze.

"Why do you call me that? Because of my bloodline you condemn me. But are you not also condemned?" the lady replied her eyes showing no change in emotion though her voice gave her away. She was irritated.

"Condemned? Are you blind? I'm not the one who's 3/4 vampire here. No last time I checked I was pureblood human." Sarah said and bent down to pick up the dagger but before she even blinked the woman had the dagger in her hand and had it pointed at her throat.

Sarah shook her head and before the woman could even blink, she had her whip out and around her assailant's neck.

"Nice trick but you are way too slow for me...huh?"

Sarah watched as the woman removed another dagger. She began to chant silently and suddenly the daggers were whirling around her at an alarming speed. Sarah stepped back releasing the whip and getting ready to dive before the woman paused. She let the daggers return to her hands.

" Belmont, you are not prepared for what my grandfather has in store for you. You will need my assistance whether you think you need it or not."

"Don't threaten me by throwing your name in my face, Angel Tepes. Do you think I fear him? My bloodline has fought him for centuries and defeated him every time." Sarah argued.

"Oh you humans are so stubborn. Fine, you don't need my help. But don't come running to me when you get turned, alright." Angel stated through clinched teeth and then with that disappeared in smoke.

Sarah coughed a bit and then glared. Her whip was gone and replaced with a silver dagger. Now that she held it in her hand she moved it through her hands feeling its solid yet light structure. It was about 11 inches overall, she was sure it was pure silver otherwise the vampire wouldn't have dusted upon penetration. The grip of the dagger was a very detailed picture of a wolf, a common familiar of vampires. She turned to leave when she felt the sensation of danger and spun around dagger at the ready.

"Ah, you are a Belmont." came a deep chilling voice that seemed to soothe and yet frighten her all at once.

It was Darrius, at least that what she suspected. She had never met him before but she knew his voice. She could not deny her fascination upon seeing him. She was just as Atli had described him. Tall but not towering, face like an angel. his odd silver hair didn't make him look old but instead mysterious as it fell over one eye, one deep crimson eye. He wore black clothing that molded to his lean yet muscular body.

"Darrius." She almost whispered.

He looked pleased with her introduction of him. His eye mesmerized her and he moved closer to her and reached out to touch her hair. She would've let him until he flinched and Sarah caught sight of Angel throwing her dagger.

"You need to learn your place, Princess Angel, sister. He's not very happy with you trying to be a rogue here." He spoke with no anger in his voice like Sarah had expected but she could see the irritation in his eye. He pulled the dagger from his hand and before Angel stepped forward had his arms wrapped around Sarah, who was now fighting for her freedom. This seemed to please him even more. Until he realized that Sarah had the dagger in her grasp. He still had power over her as she dropped the dagger to the floor.

"Let her go, brother." Angel threatened.

"Ah, you're so cruel." And with that he was gone, transformed into a wolf and on the hunt once more for his thirst had been made more apparent with the smell of unusual blood.

"Here, I'm sorry I took it but he would've used it against you." Angel handed Sarah her whip and Sarah picked up the dagger slowly.

"You still think you can do this alone, Sarah?" Angel asked.

"I suppose having another powerful, beautiful ally on my side wouldn't hurt." Sarah said before realizing she had said what was on mind instead of what she had just rehearsed. She sighed in defeat.

"I don't know about powerful but beautiful is certainly a compliment I'll take. Seriously though we have a lot of work to do if we want to save the world from being one heaping pile of death." Angel spoke with much intent.

Sarah could not deny that she needed to learn a lot more to stay alive then she wished to admit.
