Hello everyone. This is my first Van Helsing fic, so be nice. Reviews are my inspiration to keep going. So no reviews, no new chapter. So please, R&R!!! Reviews are the fuel for this story. Anyways, enough about that, let's get to the story.
Captured
Van Helsing and his partner Carl arrived at Vatican City. They hopped off their black horses and tied them to posts. Slowly entering the church in front of them, they reached the underground of the cathedral.
"This is where we split up Van Helsing" Carl told his friend.
The small friar left to his lab and plunged himself into work. Van Helsing chuckled a bit at his friend's obsession for science. He should've been a chemist instead of a friar. In fact, the monster hunter had never seen any interest in religion in the friar at all. Anyways, Van Helsing looked around waiting for Cardinal Jinette to approach him. As soon as he did, the cardinal began to speak.
"I welcome you back Van Helsing, but we have pressing issues we need to discuss about" he said.
"What is wrong now cardinal? Another errand you need me to do for you?" Gabriel mocked the man.
"Please, don't speak of your missions as if they were jobs given to you by anyone. These are missions that God needs you to do" Cardinal Jinette stated.
"I'm not doing anything else until you tell me all you know about my past" Van Helsing warned.
"Well then, fine. We'll get another person to do God's bidding" the cardinal told Van Helsing, showing the monster hunter that he didn't mind his stubbornness.
Cardinal Jinette walked away as Van Helsing saw him go. He didn't know what to do now. What would be of him if he didn't do what the Holy Order told him? What would be of a man without a past? He wouldn't bear to live a normal pedestrian's life, knowing there was evil everywhere. Gabriel sighed and followed the cardinal who was pretty far now.
"Cardinal Jinette wait" Van Helsing begged.
Turning around to face Gabriel, Jinette hid a face of pleasure. He was good at manipulating people, especially Van Helsing. Seeing that he had accomplished what he wanted, he hid his pleasure with a serious face and asked the monster hunter if he had changed his mind.
"Yes I have cardinal, I want to continue to do God's bidding" Van Helsing admitted.
"I have heard that you didn't kill Frankenstein's monster, is this true?" the patient cardinal asked.
Van Helsing rolled his eyes and sighed. He nodded in reply. He could've said no and lie, but who would dare to lie in such a holy place like that?
"Why didn't you follow orders Van Helsing?" Cardinal Jinette questioned the monster hunter.
"Because he was a good man...person...thing" Gabriel struggled to look for a correct definition for Frankenstein's monster.
Cardinal Jinette looked at Gabriel with a blank face. He couldn't believe what he had just heard. Van Helsing, a monster hunter who killed horrible beats mercilessly, felt sorry for a monster for the first time in his monster-hunting life! Cardinal Jinette raised an eyebrow letting Van Helsing know that he demanded an explanation.
"Listen, I can sense evil. And I didn't sense evil in him. So I couldn't kill him. Besides, the Frankenstein monster helped me in my journey. You expected me to kill him after helping me defeat Vladislaus Dracula?" Van Helsing demanded.
"Yes, of course I did. You had direct orders from the Holy Order to kill the monster!" the cardinal raised his voice.
"I don't care about my orders! The monster helped me countless times; I wasn't going to kill him after that! Besides, only Vladislaus intended on using him, now he's dead! So who else would want to use Dr. Frankenstein's creation!?" Van Helsing cried.
Cooling off, the cardinal sighed. He rubbed his eyes and looked and Van Helsing again. He was desperate, so he would just get straight to the point, not accepting any interruptions from the rude monster hunter. No matter what Gabriel said, Cardinal Jinette was going to give him his mission. If he didn't accept it, they would get someone else to do Van Helsing's job.
"Listen Van Helsing, your mission is to kill the Frankenstein monster. So decide right now, are you or are you not going to kill him?" Jinette interrogated.
"Fine, I am" the angered Van Helsing answered.
"Good" the also angered cardinal said.
Van Helsing and Cardinal Jinette stared at each other for a while. Exchanging angry looks, they finally decided to end the silence.
"The news say that the monster has been spotted in Madrid, Spain. Take any weapons you will need to finish that thing. And try to avoid being caught by the Spanish authorities which are all over you. You have become an infamous killer all over Europe now. Make sure you don't kill the monster in public, and if there is any other monster that turns human once you kill it; don't kill it at all" Cardinal Jinette ordered.
"Yes" Van Helsing agreed nodding.
Looking around, there was only one question in the monster hunter's head.
"Is Carl coming along this time?" Gabriel asked the cardinal.
"No, he needs time to create new gadgets for you" Jinette explained.
Turning around with no further delay, Van Helsing head to Carl's lab. He collected all the stuff he would need for the new, unfair mission and left without talking to the friar. Carl began to worry that Van Helsing didn't like his new mission. And he didn't know how right he was. Four days later, in Madrid, Van Helsing finally arrived. He kept his whole face except for his eyes covered with his black bandana. He walked smoothly blending in with the crowd. It was early in the morning so he had risks of being spotted. He saw about three posters with a picture of his face with the bandana on that said "Wanted alive, reward: $100, 000." He then spotted Spanish authorities looking at the posters. Then, he made the horrible mistake of looking at an officer in the face.
"¡Es el! ¡Es Van Helsing!" the officer cried pointing at him.
Gabriel began to run as fast as he could. The officers were gaining on him. After twenty-five minutes of running around Madrid, Gabriel couldn't take it any longer. He stopped for a short while and continued to run. But shortly after he resumed the running, an officer with a wooden stick hit him on the face. The monster hunter fell unconscious.
Hours later, he woke up. He was in jail. He sat up in the flat bed he was resting on for all those hours and then got up. He walked towards the gate of the cell and held the black iron bars with his hands. The werewolf powers he used to possess would've really come in handy at the moment. Looking around, he spotted the guard with the keys.
"Sir" Van Helsing called.
The guard turned around and approached Gabriel's cell. But he kept his distance in case Van Helsing tried something to get the keys. Van Helsing asked the man a few questions like when would be his ruling, but the guard just looked at him in confusion.
"No hablo inglés señor" the guard told Van Helsing.
The monster hunter understood what the guard had told him. He knew a bit of Spanish. In fact, he knew a bit of every language in Europe. He had to learn them if he was going to be killing monsters all over Europe. So Van Helsing tried to translate his questions into Spanish and then asked again.
"¿Cuando voy a la corte?" he asked perfectly, but in poor Spanish.
"Mañana" the guard replied.
So there you have it, my first chapter in this story. If you review, I'll update. And I usually update very fast. So I BEG you guys to review please! Reviews are the fuel for this story! Ok, so now I'm gonna translate for those of you who don't understand anything at all in Spanish. "¡Es el! ¡Es Van Helsing!" means "It's him! It's Van Helsing!" and "No hablo inglés señor" means "I don't speak English sir." "¿Cuando voy a la corte?" means "When do I go to court?" and "Mañana" means "Tomorrow." Well, that's all! Remember to PLEASE R&R!!!
