Dracula and the Van Helsings.

Reapers and Hunters hunt monsters, that is well known at this point, but there are those who specialize in hunting curtain beasts, Vampire Hunters. For as long as there have been these stalkers of the night, there have been those who Chase them using their torches and no name strikes as much fear in Vampires as Abraham Van Helsing. And the same goes for the hunters, a name even feared by some Reapers his name is Count Viktor Dracula. Many know the names but not all know the story between these two and their ancient generation spanning rivalry.

It all started on one rainy night in the streets of London on the night of 30th September 1888. The Infamous Serial Killer Jack the Ripper stalked the streets, on this night he would perform one of his most infamous murders, he would murder 2 women in the span of 45 mintues and escape from the law unseen. Or were both murders committed by this one man?

(A man and woman are walking through the rainy streets of London)

Catherine Eddowes: (Closely holding onto the man) (Long flowing black hair and Green eyes) Come on Logan, you know it's not a good idea to be walking the streets at night with the Ripper around!!!

Logan Van Helsing: (Neatly right parted brown hair, a neatly trimmed beard, a small scar on his forehead and purple eyes. Standing at 5'6ft (167cm) with an average build. Around the age of 19) Relax... that fool won't be brave enough to attack while someone else is around... And it's been 3 weeks since his last murder, he's probably gone by now.

Catherine: I know... its just; you can never know when he'll strike again, he may be around that corner for all we know...

An Unknown man cloaked in shadow: (Standing behind the wall of the back alley) Hahaha, I may not be the Ripper milady, but I am something far worse...

Logan: (Covers Catherine behind him) Behind me... what do you want?

The Man: (Moves out of the shadow) (Long Wild blonde hair and Devilish Orange eyes) It's a simple demand really... (he moves at an incredible speed and grabs Logan's shoulders and throws him to the side) Hahaha, the fresh need blood...

(The man walks over to Catherine and pins her up on a wall)

(Logan takes out a revolver and aims it at the man)

(The man ignores Logan and reveals a set of fangs he is indeed a Vampire, only believed to exist in Children's books and campfire stories)

(Just as the Man goes in to bite Catherine, Logan shoots him landing a shot in the head)

(The Vampire's head turns back but as he moves it forward the bullet wound is gone)

The Vampire: (In an angry tone) Oh! Oh, that actually hurt!!! (He throws down Catherine and starts walking towards Logan) I just wanted a bit of blood! BUT NOW YOU'VE MADE IT PERSONAL!!!

(Another man is standing on the building across from them shrouded by the Moon)

The Man: Vlad!!!

Vlad III: (Suddenly bows down facing the Man) Yes Lord Dracula!!

Count Viktor Dracula: (He walks out of the shadows and we see his full appearance) (Swept back black hair flowing in the wind, Orange eyes with a fierce bloodlust in them, his lips are covered in blood. He stands at an impressive 6'7ft (200.66cm) and an incredibly muscular build. He looks around the age of 37) Haha... don't concern yourself with the man, we're not here for him.

Vlad: Yes, my lord.

(Logan is stunned and shocked as to what is going on and he is unable to act as Vlad kills Catherine)

(Using the blood from Catherine Vlad completes his transformations into a full blooded Vampire a near unstoppable force)

Vlad: Hahaha, this feels incredible!!!

Viktor Dracula: (Jumps down from the rooftop) Haha, don't let it get into your head.

(Logan rushes over to Catherine bleeding out from Vlad biting her in the throat)

Logan: (Panicking) No, no, no, no C- Catherine... I'm sorry.

(Catherine dies in Logan's arms)

Logan: No, no... (Looks at Viktor Dracula and Vlad walking away) You... you Bastards!!! I'll kill you two and your entire kind!!! Do you hear me!!!

Viktor Dracula: *Hmph* And what exactly is your name?

Logan: (Stands up bravely to face the two of them) Logan... Logan Van Helsing.

A police officer in the distance: (Hailing at his friends) Hey! I think the Ripper went this way!!!

(Viktor Dracula thinks fast and takes out a knife, cutting himself with it to make it look bloody and throws it over to where Logan is standing, next to Catherine and Logan not thinking picks it up to defend himself)

Viktor Dracula: (Suddenly takes on a worried tone in his voice) Officers!!! I found the Ripper, he's here!!! Till we greet each other in Hell, Van Helsing.

(They both run away from the scene)

(As the Police Officers approach the scene, it looks as if Logan is the infamous Jack The Ripper)

(3 hours later)

(Logan is being questioned in a police station)

The Interrogator: Why did you kill all those women? Why did you kill Catherine? You two were only a week away from marriage. Did you get tired of her already?

Logan: I didn't... I didn't kill any of them. I loved Catherine.

The Interrogator: Bullshit!!! If it wasn't you, who killed them all!!!

Logan: I don't know...

The Interrogator: *Tch* it's hopeless!!! Go! Be glad your innocent for now and we don't just give you the death penalty. But, mark my words; if we find the tiniest bit of evidence, the only jail you'll be going to is hell.

(Logan walks out of the police station and is confronted by a man)

The Man: (Short brown hair and blue eyes, standing at 5'7ft. 43 years old) Mr. Van Helsing?

Logan: Y... yeah?

Abraham Stroker: Name's Abraham Stroker, you my friend had a run in with a Vampire.

Logan: Y- you know what they are!?

Abraham: Yes, I am a Vampire hunter. Come follow me.

(Logan starts following Abraham)

Abraham: You had a run in with a Vampire I've been chasing for years. Count Viktor Dracula, he's almost 900 years old now. Recently he's risen once again, stronger than ever. With an even bigger bloodlust. The reason he targeted Ms. Eddowes is because of her royal blood, all to make one of his servants stronger. (Looks over to Logan, angry at even hearing that name) And Mr. Van Helsing, I want you to join me and become a Hunter.

Logan: Why me of all people!!!

Abraham: Because I can see that spark in your eye, you hate these things. I'll train you and teach you how to hunt these things. (Reaches out for a handshake) You with?

Logan: (Shakes Abraham's hand) When do I begin?

Abraham: Soon Mr. Van Helsing. I'll come to you...

(Abraham walks away into the darkness)

For the following years Logan Van Helsing would train and teach under Abraham Stroker's wing. He would become a master at hunting these Stalkers of the night. With every Vampire killed, he would get one step closer to the men who killed the one he loved, Van Helsing would become a name feared by even the strongest Vampires. After the death of his Master by the hands of Vlad, Logan would abandon his name and take on his master's becoming Abraham Van Helsing. He graduate from college and became a Doctor at day and a Hunter at night. He found love again with a fellow Vampire Hunter, a former Priestess whose entire church was slaughtered by the same man, Viktor Dracula. Soon it was time for Dracula and Van Helsing to meet face to face once again.

(On the top of Dracula's castle in Transylvania, the full moon lights up the battleground)

(Viktor Dracula is standing high on a cliff staring down the approaching Abraham Van Helsing surrounded by dead Vampires)

Viktor Dracula: So... after all these years, you still hold your grudge? Even after marrying another woman.

Abraham: I hold grudge for her, Stroker and all those innocent people. All who you killed!!!

Viktor Dracula: Oh? I killed innocent people? Explain all those dead Vampires and Vlad!!!

Abraham: They deserve the deepest pits of hell!!! (Points at Viktor) Your 900 years of tyranny ends right here!!!

(Viktor Dracula jumps off the cliff and rushes towards trying to attack him from the side)

Abraham: (Grabs Viktor Dracula's arm) Attack from the side, the point where I'm blind to see oncoming attacks? There really is no honor left in you, you are nothing but a hopeless corpse!!!

Abraham and Viktor Dracula would continue on to fight each other for the entire night. With each of them overpowering the other and one point or another, but eventually Abraham would come out victorious and plunge his sword of purity into the heart of the beast. While they were Arch enemies they had some mild respect for one another, admiring each other's skill and power. Viktor Dracula's corpse would be sealed away in a coffin and thrown into the deep heart of the sea. Abraham would continue his life, with him and his wife leaving behind the Vampire Hunter life and raising their daughter, being respected by every Vampire Hunter. The legacy of this one man would live on through many more generations. With the newest member to this incredible bloodline being Samuel Logan Reyes, son of Edith Reyes and Clint Jackson. But when Viktor Dracula rose once again under the mere name of Dracula, he made sure his Arch enemy would not return and he ordered his servants to eliminate the entire bloodline and all related by marriage with only Sam surviving. Will Dracula cross his paths with Sam? Will he avenge his bloodline and another loss coming to him soon? Only Time, Fate and Destiny shall tell.
