Chapter Two:

Hey, Thanks again to Mariah, and all you peeps that reviewed, this is for you. Well friendly critique IS still welcome; I want to make this story the best that it can be. So all you people that like to flame every story, I haven't gotten one yet. But I seriously don't want one. If you truly hate this story and think that the world would be a better place without it then come on people, back it up why you dislike it.

I love all of you people who reviewed Thanx!!!! I will try to get back to the reviews you send, but if I don't respond, it's not because I don't like you, I'm probably busy.:)

PLEASE REVIEW!!! It means the world to me!!!

The vampire chuckled, taking Gabriel's face in his clammy hands." I will tell you what I want of you in due time,"

"Why not tell me now?" The hunter growled, and batted his hands away.

The count laughed, but did not answer. He stared off, lost in his own thoughts.

"So how do we do it?"

The count looked up startled," Do what?"

"Bring Anna back, you said, "Tears began to form in his eyes, he violently wiped them away, willing himself not to cry in front of Dracula. No one, not even Carl had seen him cry.

"I haven't forgotten, come and sit next to me, I have a lot to tell you," Dracula patted the bed, next to him.

Van Helsing did as he was told.

"It might be quite hard for you, what we are about to do,"

Gabriel's eyes widened, "Your not planning on turning her into a vampire are you?"

Dracula chuckled again, "God no, it's to late for that anyway,"

Relief washed over the hunter's features, "Then what are you planning?"

"A quest. It will be difficult. The legend is that if you complete the task, you will be granted a wish, a wish of life,"

"What is the quest?"

"I was getting to that. You do interrupt a lot don't you?

"Anyways to get this wish, you must first defeat the monsters of legend, the 'guasto'"

Van Helsing laughed, "The what?"

Dracula rolled his eyes. "The guasto, it's just a nickname; it means "Death," in Italian. Anyways, after defeating the vile creatures, you must cut open their hearts, and retrieve the stone from inside. Their will be five of the Beasts in total, each more fowl than the next. If you survive and, and collect the stones your wish will be granted. Before granting your wish, however, the stones must be placed in order at the temple of the land,"

"That's the stupidest fucking thing I've ever heard!!! Cut open their hearts? What is this some kind of fairy tale?"

"No it's her only hope, and I assumed that you were mature enough to handle this. You act as a child, a stupid child Gabriel. You're a monster hunter after all, it shouldn't be a challenge, it's what you do best," the Count paused "so what do you say? We must discuss the matter of my payment,"

Gabriel sighed heavily," I'm in,"

"Good, that's what I wanted to hear," The count leaned forward and placed a firm kiss on the hunter's succulent mouth, " Now we will discuss how you are to pay me,"

Happy Valentines Day!!!! Review PLEASE I BEG OF YOU!!! If you want me to post chapter three, than please review!!!
