Vengeance Is Sweet

Helsing Manor:

Maria van Helsing exited the bathroom with a pregnancy test in her hand. Her husband was staring out the window, his expression set in a sad hopeless way. "It's positive." She announced her tone not changing at all.

William paid her no attention. He was happy about the new baby but his thoughts were solely on the one that had been stolen from him.

Davion kicked open the door, making the massive solid steel doors fly off their hinges and crash loudly to the floor. I cringed at the loud banging sound it made. "They must have heard that." His green eyes narrowed and flashed to red, "They're coming." He grabbed a sword off a wall decoration and threw it to me. I caught it in midair. "Brace yourself and stay near me." He ordered, spreading his feet so that he was in a half crouch. My eyes widened as his fingers elongated, transforming into razor sharp claws.

I began to hear a rustling sound and looked up toward the long dark hallway. I felt my entire body go cold as creatures with bone white skin and black soulless eyes crawled towards us, like bats emerging from their cave.

Davion moved in a blur, slashing through creature after creature, their bodies exploding with blood and gore. I blinked out of my numbness and rushed forward myself, holding the sword at hip level. I slashed through a creature as it jumped at me, it's body spluttering blood all over me. Then I whirled around, hearing another at my back and slashed it to ribbons. It seemed like, with each one we killed, three would rise to take its place. They just kept coming.

Eventually we became surrounded. Davion and I were standing back to back, with monsters flanking us in every direction. "What now?" I could see no way out of this predicament. I could hear Davion gulp, "Dawn, back away from me a little, give me room to transform." I did as he said and moved as far away from him as the creatures would allow me to.

A black aura appeared around Davion's body. He yelled loudly at the top of his lungs as his body contorted into the shape of the hellish bat. Once he was fully transformed, I grabbed onto his back and he flapped his mighty wings rushing us forward at full force, through the wall of ghouls. He tore at them with his teeth, snapping the bone in his powerful jaws. All I could do was hold on as he cleared a path for us.

He flew through the castle, killing every ghoul that dared try to stop us. We finally came to a pair of doors I recognized. I was certain they opened up to the room I woke up in.

He stopped, landing lightly and strangely without making a sound even though he was as big as a van. His beady red eyes were locked on these doors, glaring at them like he was trying to set them on fire. His pointed toothed grin broadened in a wicked leer. Finally, I shall have my revenge! I heard his dark voice yell in my head. He rushed on foot through the doors with a crash. Every head shot up at once at the sound of twisting steel.

Davion's body seemed to melt beneath me as he took his normal form. I climbed down off his back, with my sword drawn. There were at least ten vampires there I had never seen before, all female and scantly dressed. However among them sat Exavier and Alexander enjoying their company. In the throne itself sat the ugliest thing I have ever seen. I presumed he was Nos. Trust me, when you picture a demon, he is what you see. Scarlet was sitting on his lap, wearing a short black dress and stiletto heals. Her red painted lips were drawn away from her fangs in a smile that would send a shiver down a human's spine.

" Davion, still alive I see." Said Nos. "We didn't consider that you'd turn the girl." "Yes, we thought you loved her more than that." Chuckled Scarlet. Something within me snapped.

I flew at her with my sword held high, "Shut it, bitch!" I snarled. She laughed at me and got to her feet. I swung the sword at her and she dodged it easily. "Please, I have been a vampire for five hundred years, and you've been one for what, two hours?" She slapped me across the face sending me crashing to the floor. My sword fell three feet away from me. "You're not even in the same league as me!" she yelled, coming to stand ominously over me.

Nos got to his feet. "You want revenge I suppose." Said the true vampire. Davion's claws tensed, "Oh yes. This is a battle four hundred-years in the making, Nos. When I'm finished with you, you'll wish you'd never sent that whore to my doorstep." Davion chuckled wickedly, the monster side of him, taking over.

The two vampires rushed at one another, in such a speed that it made a sonic boom as their bodies clashed. They punched and kicked their movements so fast, no human eyes would have ever caught them. They slashed and bit into the other's flesh, without letting out cries of pain, neither willing to show weakness.

They rushed at each other again and again, plowing into their opponent. Finally they locked hands, Nos trying with all his strength to overpower the younger turned vampire. But, Davion wasn't giving an inch.

"You surprise me, Davion. I never dreamed you were this strong."

"You have yourself to thank for your own demise." Replied Davion, snarling, as he shoved Nos into a far wall.

I kicked Scarlet in the shin, making her stagger backwards, and got to my feet. I tried to get to my sword but she was too fast. She caught me and began slashing at me with her claws. I dodged them clumsily. Quite a few got past my defenses. Moving to the side and into her blind spot, I connected a good punch to her jaw. She snarled in pain and threw a punch of her own, sending me to the floor again.

She came at me again, kicking me in the side over and over again. I yelled out in pain, I could feel my bones snapping like twigs.

Davion heard my cries and turned his attention away from his battle. Nos plowed a heavy blow into Davion's chest, and dropped an elbow on his head. Davion was sent crashing to the ground as well. I had to finish this, for his sake, I had to win. I reached for my sword, finding it just out of arms' reach. Scarlet kicked it away. She stepped heavily on my broken ribs, making me scream at the top of my lungs. The heel of her stiletto heel, dug into my flesh, adding to the pain. Each time I yelled, Davion's attention would move to me and he was getting pummeled at the moment because of me. But without a weapon and with my weak newly turned body, I had no way of escape, no way to defend myself against this stronger vampiress.

Scarlet kicked me again in the side and my body flew across the room several feet and crashed into a suit of armor. The spear that the knight was holding clattered to the floor next to my body. Scarlet was too pleased with herself to notice that I had grabbed hold of the weapon.

"Pity Davion turned you, I bet you would've tasted even better than Evelyn had." She chuckled and flew at me for the killing blow.

At the last possible second I righted the spear and she was impaled upon it. She writhed, screeching like a dying cat. I hobbled over to my sword and came over to her. I held the sword high over her neck, ignoring her pleas for mercy.

In one swift motion, I cut off her head. Her body turned to ash within seconds.

I looked up at Davion giving him the thumbs up. Davion grinned and plowed his fist into Nos' face. It was time to take things up a notch.

Davion kept up the heavy blows forcing Nos to move further and further back until he fell into his thrown. Davion stabbed his claws into Nos' neck and leveled their faces, "I've been waiting for this moment too long." He leered at his master."Dawn, throw me your sword." I threw it to him and he caught it without even looking at it.

He thrust the sword through Nos' stomach, pinning him where he sat. He was snarling and hissing as he fought to get free, but Davion kept the sword steady, making sure Nos wasn't able to pull it out. "The spear!" Davion ordered. I yanked up the spear free of Scarlet's body and threw it to him.

Nos let out a horrible high-pitched screech as Davion pierced his chest with the spear. Now that Nos was immobilized Davion backed away and swung me onto his back.

The world was beginning to spin, the poison was doing its job. I had little time left.

The black aura reappeared around Davion as he held out one of his hands toward our enemy. "Farewell" with that Davion closed his hand into a fist and all of the dark aura rushed at Nos at once, forming into what looked like the shadow of a bat. The shadow tore Nos' body apart until absolutely nothing remained.

But the shadow bat didn't stop there it flew out of the room, disappearing in the darkness, in search of more victims I supposed.

The floor began to quake under Davion's feet. "Let's get out of here!" He shouted, darting out the door and down the opposite hall that the shadow had gone down. "W-what's happening?" I asked beginning to feel a bit woozy. "My shadow is destroying the castle. Hopefully none of the other's will escape." The ceiling was raining down around us, huge chunks of it smashing to the ground, just inches from squashing us as we made our escape.

Just ahead of us I could see a faint light. "There's the entrance!" I shouted happily. Davion chuckled with joy. But then the hallway caved in. "Hold on!" shouted Davion, tightening his grip on my legs.

He phased us out in mid run and we fell onto hard ground when we popped out of thin air in the human world. I laid motionless for a few seconds, my head was really spinning now, none of the pictures that appeared in my vision, making any sense.

I could hear Davion laughing pleasantly with relief and pure joy. His face appeared in my blurred vision, smiling from ear to ear. He looked at least five years younger. He leaned down and kissed me, his lips echoing the joy he must have been feeling in his heart. He propped me up in his arms, so I could see the setting sun.

"Dawn, will you marry me?" he asked, his cool breath caressing my ear. I was no longer able to speak.

That day, I watched the sun set upon my old life and the moon arose on the new.
