AN: This chapter explains a lot. It will answer questions and maybe make some.

As Valerie galloped away on her horse, she thought of the gesture that Mr. William Morgan had done. He kissed me! She repeated over and over in her head. Hey, calm down, said another voice, He was just trying to be polite. The first voice started again: Well, polite or not, he was still incredibly rude. That was it; William Morgan was just rude. And she left it at that.
Another thought occurred to her; she had lied. She wasn't really chosen to be in Van Helsing's place, she was his daughter, Chosen by the Knights of the Holy Order to take his place. She had asked for the job. Most of the knights laughed at her for it, but she didn't care. She knew that she could easily kick their butts.
But none of that mattered now, or would it matter in the future. She had to fulfill this task for the knights. If she failed, the Knights of the Holy Order would be no more. Val knew that this would have to be flawless and planned very carefully. She would be going back to the castle of Dracula, to destroy the one who has taken it over: Lesdause, a Vampire.
Lesdause was older than Dracula and had more experience in the underground. His Brides, Alacle, Josicin, and Mariden were never allowed to show their faces except at night when they hunted. He was all-powerful and had not killed many, yet. His plan was to take over the world with Vampires. But, the Knights of the Holy Order had found a flaw in his plan. How will the vampires survive if there is no more blood, as the question they asked. Now that they had someone brave enough to go against him, they would do all it takes to make sure her plan went accordingly. Valerie had been told once that she was as brave as her father and as smart as her mother, but she didn't even know who her mother was. Carl, a friend of her father, had helped her in so many ways. He had given her a liquid type substance that could be used to surprise the vampires and turn them into dust. He has also helped her come up with an invention to kill brides—a type of wooden bullet with a center of Holy Water. She hadn't got to use them, but had hoped they would be of great use to her in this battle. She came upon the next city within three hours of leaving the Morgan house. Here, she would meet with one of her father's old friends.
