Arthus grew up in a very happy
environment. His parents, Boris and Rachel, were supportive of him and brought
him up properly. Arthus was polite and was a good-mannered boy, well liked by
his peers. He was good in his education and also physically was the best among
the boys in his area.
One day, Ludwig Van De Meyde,
Boris’s brother, paid a visit to Arthus. Arthus was delighted for whenever his
uncle came to his house, he will but something for him. True enough, Ludwig
bought strawberry floss for his nephew. While Arthus was enjoying his treat,
Ludwig asked Boris and Rachel whether he could bring young Arthus to a fair in
a small village near the city of Twente. Arthus could not believe what he
heard. He loved fairs for he could buy a lot of sweets and play a lot of games.
Boris and Rachel were a bit reluctant to let their son go. But after much
persuasion, they relented. An hour later, Ludwig and Arthus set off for Twente.
Arthus had a great time in the fair when suddenly he heard a loud
howling noise. He felt uncomfortable about it. But his uncle distracted him
from that thought and brought him around the fair.
The following day, Arthus
returned home from Twente. So enthusiastic, to tell his parents about the fair
when he realized something. They are missing. Not only that, there was a also
blood all over the floor. Arthus’s
heart started to beat faster. He followed the trail of blood, which let into
the kitchen and he gasped! There lay his mother dead, with her eyes wide open.
Then, he remembered his father. He rushed upstairs into the room and saw his
father lying dead on the bed. But his father was holding a letter in his hand.
Arthus took and read it.
Dear Arthus,
You are not an
ordinary child. Yet there is something I ought to tell you. You are a vampire
Arthus. A half-breed vampire. You turn out like that because of me. When I was
young, a vampire bit me. But before it turned me into a full vampire, a vampire
hunter came to my aid. The vampire fled, leaving me hurt. The result of that
leads me to be a half vampire, half human. After you were born, I thought you
might be the Devil’s son but my inner sense told me that you were my son and
that I held the responsibility to raise you into a virtuous man. Arthus my son
you must never fall into the hands of evil. Follow the righteous and pious
people. I am writing this letter, for in case your mother and I leave you for
some reason, this letter will tell you what is in my heart.
Loving
you always,
Boris
Arthus could not take it anymore. He is
lonely now. He has nobody here in Amsterdam and he does not know how to contact
his uncle. He was so angry with the killer of his parents and he wanted to take
revenge. He was determine to vanquish the vampires. Arthus was so angry as he
clenched his fist.
“Who killed my parents? If I could
find him…I will…,” and he remained silent.
“What can I do? Where can I go?” said Arthus.
“Fear not my son, I will take you.” Said a mysterious voice.
Arthus turned to look at
the source of the calm voice and saw a middle-aged man standing at the entrance
of the room.
“Who are you?” asked the
young boy.
“Abraham Van Helsing is
my name and I know all about you ever since you were born” he said. “Come with
me and I will teach you how to kill the evil one, who left you with no one and
whom you are destined to kill,” said Van Helsing.
Arthus did not know what
Van Helsing was saying. “Err…I do not get what you are saying, sir” said young
Arthus.
“I will explained to you
everything if you come with me” said Van Helsing.
Since having nobody now
and he want to know more about his destiny, Arthus decided to follow Van
Helsing. Van Helsing looked noble and kind, Arthus was sure he was one of those
people whom his father explained as pious and righteous. After the burial of
his parents, he set off to Van Helsing’s place.
