I do not own Van Helsing. I only own Tiffani and Lexi.
Story Start
"I'll kill her. I'll kill her. I'll kill her, if he doesn't kill her first," Lexi was growling as she paced around in Anna's home. The ride back to Transylvania was full of Lexi yelling how many ways she would torture her best friend.
"How did this happen again?" Anna asked in confusion. Carl was standing beside her staring at Lexi in disbelief. Van Helsing was standing by himself in the room, but he was chuckling at the way Lexi was behaving.
"Well Tiffani was kidnapped by Dracula again, and Lexi is angry that she could not stop him," Carl explained without going into detail. Anna gave a sigh before ducking. A battle-axe was lodged into the wall where her head had just been.
"That idiot, I have to get to Dracula's castle," Lexi growled and looked at Anna. "Do you know how to get there?" she questioned.
"If I did then my family would have already killed that monster," Anna snapped in reply as she pulled the battle-axe out of the wall.
"I doubt that," Lexi muttered and she smirked when she saw Anna's glare. "Did that annoy you?" she quipped.
"How dare you? I take you and your friend into my home and you insult my family," Anna yelled and threw the battle-axe at Lexi, who caught it.
"I was just pointing out your ignorance. So far Van Helsing and Carl's weapons have not killed the monster so I have no doubt that your family could not kill him," Lexi hissed and she tightened her hands on the handle of the battle-axe.
"That's it," Anna screamed before she grabbed a nearby sword.
Van Helsing sighed as Carl inched closer to him. His eyes surveyed the fight in front of him. The sounds of the battle-axe and sword meeting were starting to give him a headache. A tug on his shirtsleeve made him focus on his friend.
"Should we stop them?" Carl questioned with worry in his voice.
"How about we just let them fight it out and we'll go research ways to kill Dracula?" Van Helsing suggested which Carl accepted quickly.
"Can we grab something to eat first? We have not eaten anything since leaving Transylvania," Carl inquired about before he and Van Helsing disappeared from the view of the fight.
"I hate traveling like that. Seriously, can we invent flying cars instead of a flying bat mobile?" Tiffani grumbled after the large bat feet gently released her on top of a tower. Snow was worse here than how it was in Transylvania. "Where are we now?" she whispered before the sounds of wings flapping stopped. She looked behind her to see Dracula standing there in his human form.
"Welcome home," he said with a small bow.
"Home, more like the freezer," Tiffani stuttered as the cold attacked her senses. The dress was not helping her stay warm.
"It affects me not," Dracula said as he walked closer to her. She was mimicking a maraca with how much she was shivering. His cold hand being placed on her shoulder made her jump away from him.
"Well that's awesome for you, but a Popsicle Tiffani is not good for anybody," she yelped and rushed into the castle through the door leading into the tower.
"What is a Popsicle?" he questioned curiously, as he followed her.
"Throw Igor into a freezing cold river, leave him there for a few minutes, pull him out of the water, and ta-da an Igor Popsicle," she said and glared at Igor, who was waiting at the bottom of the tower for them.
"I might try that some time," Dracula said and Igor's glare disappeared as he started groveling to his master.
"I vote soon," Tiffani said cheekily before her short attention span was distracted away from Dracula and his creepy servant.
A group of Dwergi was standing at the end of the hallway. A large spiky ball from a flail was sitting on a nearby table for decoration. An evil grin crossed her face as she sneaked over to the table. She did not want Dracula to stop her from having fun. She was careful not to prick herself with the spikes.
"Tiffani, what are you doing?" Dracula questioned when he saw his future bride standing in a strange position.
"Strike, please," Tiffani yelled and Dracula's eyes widened in surprise as the ball from the flail rolled quickly towards the center of the group of Dwergi. The loud crash of Dwergi stumbling over each other to dodge the ball from the flail made them all fall down. "Yes, I got a strike, did you see?" she exclaimed and gave Dracula an excited grin.
"I do not know what a strike is in that context," Dracula said and Tiffani just covered her face with her hands.
"I have so much to teach you, so much," she said comfortingly before she took him by the hand and led him to a nearby seat. "Now bowling is a fun game and it is a sport. However, I will teach you the basics, and then we will create our own version. Dwergi bowling," she said deviously.
"I would have thought she would have been more of a challenge to defeat," Lexi was muttering to herself as she walked through Anna's home looking for Van Helsing and Carl. Anna was somewhere licking her wounds, which were many. "I wonder if the guys are sleeping by now?" she whispered as she saw the sunrise lighting the new day.
A soft snore made her jump. Light was shining through a cracked door, which she slowly opened to keep from making too much noise. Giggles wanted to escape when she saw Carl and Van Helsing passed out in different chairs in a library.
"So cute," she thought as she covered up Carl with a blanket in the room. She noticed that Van Helsing had taken off his coat, which showed his figure more. A light blush covered Lexi's cheeks as she grabbed another blanket and put it on Van Helsing. She went to move away from the two men, but a sudden and strong grip on her hand made her pause. Two warm eyes were staring at her curiously in their half-asleep state.
"Sorry," Lexi started to say before Van Helsing's hand moved from her hand to her lips.
"Thanks, are you hurt?" he said and his voice had a deeper timber before of his slumber.
"I'm fine, just a few bruises," she answered softly as she tried to calm down her crazy heartbeat.
"Glad you're all right. Get some rest so I'll know you'll be ok later when we save your friend," he said and her heart stopped when he ran his finger across her bottom lip. "Good night, Lexi," he whispered before leaning up and kissing her on the lips.
Her eyes were wide as she watched him pull away from the kiss, and he fell back into his slumber. A shaky hand rose up to touch her lips. "He kissed me," she thought as she backed out of the room. She was in a happy daze as she made her way to her own quarters. "Wait, he kissed me and then fell asleep before I could kiss him back," she thought with a frown before she buried herself in her covers. "Wonder how Tiffani is faring right now?" she thought before falling into dreams about if Van Helsing would remember the kiss or not.
