Hallowed sanctuary - safe away from monsters and devil
made creatures that haunted his dreams and lurked in his waking mind waiting to
pounce upon him when he least expected it.
That's what he was looking for and he thought he had found it when he returned
to the church but it was not to be.
He had prayed to god to take away the horrors he had felt and seen but the
devil brought the horrors back stronger than before.
There was no sanctuary from his memories in the church.
So he thought to take sanctuary in science but that had not lasted long either
He had been talking to someone in the hallway, debating the properties of
carbon monoxide gas when he had remembered with a horrid flash Transylvania and
the things that had happened there.
So science was no boundary for his memories.
Finally he asked Van Helsing how he silenced the memories and Van Helsing
kissed him.
That night Carl lay draped in Van Helsings arms, looking up at the ceiling
waiting for the memories to reappear but they did not come, only the sweet
reminiscences of Van Helsing's kiss that accompanied him into sleep to protect
him there.
