Ah what will happen to poor poor Atrum. I'll never tell. Thank you to my reviewers Lady Wednesday, and Believer29. Also I like suspense so you can kill me later.
Dracula paced the throne room of Satan. The darkness surrounded him, made him feel comfortable. She had escaped him, the sun made him retreat as she stole the monk and fled from him. Went back to that damn Gabriel, he was sure of it as he was sure she still loved him.
"Calm yourself," Satan commanded. "Your footsteps are getting on my nerve. Besides my plan will go according to my wishes."
"Stefan will betray us!" Dracula hissed as he contuined to pace with his arms behind his back. "He cannot be trusted."
"He will do my bidding!" Satan roared from his throne. "No one is foolish enough not to do my bidding. I can feel him now entering the sacred circle. Soon she will submit to the darkness and will be mine."
"And if she catches on?" Dracula argued, as he stopped his pacing. He crossed his arms and glared at his master. "What then? Hecate will know and it will be ruined."
"Trust is me," Satan replied, a bored look on his face. "As long as Stefan's performance is flawless she will kill herself. Then her and her powers will be mine."
"But…" Dracula began to argue again when Stefan entered the room.
"You have no faith in your master," Stefan grunted as he walked in. "That was the most painful and humiliating thing I have ever done."
"The important thing is you have done it," Satan laughed darkly. "Soon it will be over. Then the world will be covered in my darkness!"
Laying in the snow, her head pointing north, legs south, and arms at east and west, she let her mind wander. The events of the mission were finally weighing down upon her. Lost in thoughts, she thought about Stefan and what he had just done. Something didn't seem right, the whole thing was off. In fact the feeling of the scared circle felt off. Could it all of been truth, or was there something more to it?
"Life is so confusing," Atrum muttered out loud. Sighing, she focused on the chilling effect the snow was having on her body. The coldness felt good, and her pale skin was starting to turn red. Then her thoughts wander to Gabriel, think about everything that had happen. From the first moment they met back in Ancient Greece to today when his memory returned. Then it hit her, and it hit her hard. If she left him, if she died he would know the pain and suffering she did all those years. Except she would be gone, at least she had the knowledge he was alive.
"I have decided," Atrum told the woods as she sat up. "I know the right decision!"
Looking towards the sky she notice the sun would be setting soon. The time of darkness was approaching, but it was a quarter moon tonight. She knew peace now, after all she would let her choice be the right one. It was her time to choice her own path, and it was almost time. Van Helsing was on his way to her, she could feel it. When he came she would tell him.
"This isn't the way to the castle!" Carl finally said. The sun was setting, and he knew they had been going the wrong way. He chose now to speak up, after allthe walking they had done. The last thing he needed was Dracula attacking them.
"I know Carl," Van Helsing said through his gritted teeth. "But this is the way I need to go. I know she is this way."
"You are talking about Atrum then," Carl sighed, he was tired of not knowing. "Please tell me what happened, what is going on?"
"She has been the love of my life," Van Helsing told him. "I married her, I promised to be with her forever. Now she needs me the most and I will not fail her like I did all those years ago."
"Fail her?" Carl asked confused. "How did you fail her?"
"The Romans came to claim our town," Van Helsing started to tell him, the pain he had caused her made him sick. He should have been there for her, after all she gave him her heart. The frail heart he had shread to peices. "Instead of fleeing with her like we planned, I fought them. I fought them with every fiber in my body, and didn't even think twice about her. She was carrying my child too, and I didn't even know."
"You can't blame yourself for the past," Carl told him, and tried to comfort him. "There is no way you could know what was going to happen."
"The thing is I did," Van Helsing admitted, as they contuined through the woods. "We both knew if I fought the Romans we were doomed. I still fought, I couldn't see my beloved home swarmed by the Romans."
"It was your sense of duty," Carl argue. "You can't deny who you are. Wait, you knew?"
"Yes," he sighed and looked down at the ground as they walked. "It was a prediction made on the day we where married. We both agreed to run together when they came, we promised each other! I broke my promise!"
"Van Helsing!" Carl screamed as he ran in front of Van Helsing. They both stopped and stared at each other. "You sound like a broken man! You are not the same Van Helsing I know."
"I am a broken man now that I know the truth," Van Helsing sighed. "She is going to leave me if I don…"
"What is wrong?" Carl said as he turned and saw Atrum standing in the middle of a field. She was looking up at the sky, as the stars started to come out. The peacefulness of the night air calmed his nerves, she look so peaceful. Then they appeared.
Cliffy! I know I'm bad. So reviews? Till next time!
