Aiden Shepard [ Abraham Van Helsing ] (arcere) wrote in bellumlogs,
He'd expected an attack, so when Vlad bared his teeth - long and sharp and dangerous, did they honestly carry over into this form, or was it a dream thing?! - Aiden grabbed at the man's wrists, his own arms finally freed from their apparent paralysis. There was the danger. There was the threat. This was the fucker who killed Tessa, and probably one of the last things she saw was this.
"I am not him." Aiden still knew next to nothing about the last Van Helsing. What Shane had told him, what Boyd had mentioned offhandedly - none of it was very informative, or very useful. He'd been vaguely creepy and apparently kind of crazy, but that seemed to be par the course for anyone associated with Van Helsing. "I won't repeat his mistakes."
Shoved away abruptly, Aiden staggered - he could walk again - and clenched his right hand into a fist. He wanted to punch those sharp teeth right out of Vlad's mouth, or better, down his throat.
"And yours," he snarled. "That's the whole fucking point!"
Finally freed, Aiden lunged. Unarmed, unprotected, acting entirely on instinct - but who cared? It was a dream. His fist was aimed for Vlad's throat.
