Her father had told her the truth about their family, but Victoria hoped to live a "normal" life at the time, finishing her studies as a popular girl and captain of the cheerleading squad in a quiet, small American town far from the major cities. However, a Countess, very high-ranking in the Vampire nobility, wanted to destroy the Van Helsing future by eliminating the one destined to take over. Thus, she infected the town with her vampirism and, above all, with the help of a mad scientist accomplice, sent a horrific copy of Frankenstein's Monster, a nearly unstoppable cyborg, to eliminate the Van Helsing heirs. It was a very difficult night for Victoria, but one that forged her for eternity !
