The Rebirth
Davion's eyes shot open as the stake was wrenched from his chest. He found himself no longer in Hellsing's back yard but the massive throne room of Nos' castle deep in the vampire realm. He tried to get up but was unable due to heavy silver chains that bound his hands and feet.
Then he heard Nos' unmistakable malevolent laughter. His eyes followed the sound to a throne, and were met with a horrible sight. Nos was a true creature of darkness. His face was little more than skin drafted onto a skull with a mouth full of dagger like teeth. His eyes were empty sockets, his skin was pasty white, and his gnarled fingers looked more like claws. Around him gathered a number of exotic vampire beauties. They swooned over him, rubbing his shoulders and tracing their dainty fingers over his chest and stomach. Watching them made Davion want to puke.
Over to the left stood Scarlet, Exavier, Alexander and…Grey! A roar escaped Davion's chest as he tried to rush at the traitor but the chains held him back. "How could you do this to me?" he asked aloud. Grey turned his head away from his master, "I'm protecting my family." Grey glared at him form the corner of his eye, "just like you told me to do."
Scarlet sauntered over to Grey with a smirk on her face. Without warning, she stabbed her clawed hand through Grey's heart, "And now your job is done." She whispered to him as he turned to bones and ash.
She turned to face Davion, "Grey's talent as a breather (that means he can release a mist from his mouth that can put human's to sleep) proved quite useful to us. We were able to take you out and get the girl without anyone noticing a struggle. Davion's eyes narrowed in sheer unadulterated hatred, "What have you done with Dawn!" he snarled.
"Calm yourself, Davion, the girl has not been harmed… yet." Said Nos, he motioned towards a coffin at his right side with one of his claws, "she still sleeps." Davion sighed in relief. "What do you want from me?" asked Davion bitterly. "I'm giving you one final chance to join us Davion. You are the strongest vampire of your age, it would be a shame to let that power go to waist." Davion bared his teeth at the monster Nos, "Never!" he spat. Nos sighed with disappointment and snapped his fingers, "Very well, take him to the dungeon and leave him there to starve for a while." He ordered Scarlet and her goons.
They grabbed Davion roughly and started dragging him away. He tried to knock them away but the silver chains had drained his strength. "Dawn!" he shouted, realizing that now there was no reason for them to keep her alive. A wicked smile spread across Nos' ugly face, "Don't worry, I'll take good care of her." He assured, reaching over to the open coffin and stoking Dawn's hair.
Time passed quickly for Dawn as she slept but passed excruciatingly slowly for Davion as he fought against his thirst.
Finally one night, Nos ordered Scarlet and her gang to his castle. "Scarlet, when was the last time we fed Davion?" he asked playfully. She gasped mockingly, "Oh dear, I've forgotten all about poor Davion. He must be famished. Nos chuckled, "take him some dinner won't you, pet." Scarlet smirked, hitching up her skirt she withdrew a dagger from a strap on her thigh. She stalked over to the coffin and plunged the dagger between the sleeping Dawn's breasts. As the blade pierced her body, Dawn let out a blood curtailing scream and jolted upright her eyes wide open. Scarlet removed the blade in one swift movement, a twisted grin on her devilishly beautiful face. Blood poured down the front of Dawn's dress. Scarlet took their awakened captive out of her coffin bed and pulled her staggering body down several flights of stairs to the dungeon.
Dawn's point of view:
It wasn't until a sharp pain shot through my body that I finally awoke. Scarlet was hovering above me, her black finger nailed hand gripping the handle of the dagger that was stuck in my chest. She ripped it out of me quickly, making me scream again. She took me out of the coffin I was lying in and pulled me towards the door. I was so out of it and in so much pain that I didn't fight her and barely noticed the room around me. My vision was still clouded in a hazy fog.
She took me down a winding staircase that led to a massive iron door. She pushed it open with her free hand and the dim light from the hallway flooded the room, revealing it to be absolutely empty besides the corpse leaning against the far wall.
I recognized the red hooded cloak and the black hair. "Davion." I cried weakly. Tears fell from my eyes like the blood from my wound. "Dinner time, Davion! I brought you a special treat!" she announced with a sinister chuckle. She tossed me inside and I fell onto the hard floor.
I looked up at Davion's still corpse. His unearthly beauty was completely gone. His flesh was clinging to the bones and his glorious green eyes had become empty sockets. All hope drained from my body. I put my head down on the floor and gave up.
I laid perfectly still to await death happily. My blood pooled around my body. I knew I was going to die. There was no way of avoiding it this time. I had lost so much blood. I could already feel deaths cold hands tightening their grip around my heart. At least I'll be with him again. I thought to myself. This thought gave me just enough strength to pull my sore and numbing body to Davion's side.
I curled into his side, lying my head on his shoulder. Strangely enough, he didn't smell of death, he still smelled like he always did, like heaven. I closed my eyes to let go of life, but they opened wide again at the sound of his raspy voice.
"Blood." Was all he said but I got his meaning. I gently pushed his body forward so that his face fell into a puddle of my blood. I watched in sickened horror, as his skull's jaw opened to take in the blood. As he swallowed the life giving liquid his vitality slowly returned. By the time he had finished slurping up the puddle, he was fully restored.
He leaned back against the wall and I noticed that there were dark circles beneath his eyes, which were a dull red. He needed more. He took me into his arms and I laid my head on his chest. "What have they done to you." He whimpered hoarsely, red tinted tears falling from his eyes to the floor. This was the first time I'd ever seen him cry. I weakly touched his lips and trailed my fingertips across his face, looking into his face with adoration. "Turn me." I told him, turning my face to the side to offer him my neck.
His eyebrows drew together in pain, "no" he answered, his eyes hardening. My breath exited my lungs with a wheezing sound. "Please" I begged, "I don't want to die anymore." I touched his cheek lightly, "I want to be with you…forever." He scowled, his eyes smoldering, "you don' know how long forever is." I fought to keep my eyes open, "P-please" I begged again. "No Dawn, I will not damn you to eternal darkness!" My face crumpled in pain as my lungs stopped working. My eyes rolled back in head and I knew no more.
Dawn's body went limp in Davion's arms. He lifted his face to the sky, his grief transforming into bitter hatred towards God. He shouted angrily towards the heavens, making the very foundation begin to quake. He tightened his hold on Dawn's body holding her closer than ever before. To his astonishment he could still feel a faint fluttering of her heart. She was still alive, just barely. Davion kissed her soft lips one final time, "Forgive me." He whispered, his internal torment threatening to rip him apart.
Davion quickly bit into the flesh of Dawn's neck and released his poison. She moaned in agony as the venom attacked her human cells, transforming her into a creature of the night. After a few moments she went into convulsions and Davion had to hold her tightly against his body to keep her from hurting herself. "Don't be afraid of the darkness, for it will not pass. Don't look for a light for there is none. Stand still, and let the darkness take you." He whispered in her ear. "But remember who you are, Dawn Night Van Helsing." He added, so she would remember her human self.
Dawn's new point of view:
I opened my eyes to a bright room. A room I felt sure was dark and gloomy before. I sat up, feeling light headed and weightless. My body felt alien to me. The unbelievable pain I was feeling before was gone. I looked down at my front and found no wound there only a red stain against my pale skin. I searched the room for Davion, finding him crumpled in a corner across the room. I got to my feet, barely feeling the movement.
I walked over to him, my footsteps silent, and he looked up at me with pitiful eyes. "Am I…a vampire?" I asked hesitantly. He nodded and turned his face away from me again. I gulped, looking at my hands and touching my face. I looked at him again. He wouldn't look at me. "Do you find me ugly, now?" I asked him, dreading the answer. He jumped to his feet and took me into his arms.
He kissed me urgently. The carefulness I could always feel when he kissed me was gone. His passion was enough to make my head spin. He pulled away a few inches, his hand caressing my face, "Or course not, you're even more beautiful." He sighed, "I do miss the blushing though." He added, taking my lips again.
After that, I finally noticed that he had broken his chains. The power boost he'd gotten from my blood was enough for him to triumph over silver. "What now" I asked him. His eyes narrowed, "It's time for revenge." He released me and stalked to the door, his now long hair waving in the air as he moved. I touched my own hair and found that it had grown out significantly, it could almost reach my knees. "How long have we been here?" I asked, still fiddling with my hair. He turned his face slightly towards me, "I'm not very sure myself, time no longer holds any value for me, but if I had to guess, I'd say about a year."
I gulped in horror. I couldn't imagine what my dad was going through right now, and now that I was a vampire, there was no way I could comfort him without getting a stake through the heart.
"Hurry, we need to get out of here before you lose consciousness again. My eyes widened, "What?" He pressed his hands to the door and sighed with impatience, "You haven't fully turned yet, the process takes weeks to complete. The pain will hit you in waves. If we are to survive, we need to get out of here before the pain returns. Now please, let's go." I nodded and went to him.
"You don't have all my powers yet, those come with age, so you'll have to fight like a human. I trust your father has trained you how to kill vampires." I smirked at him and he flashed me a grin that said, That was a stupid question.
