########################### Chapter 2:
"This must be it" announced Carl, breathing heavily while leaving his entire luggage in front off a wooden door.
"About time to, don't you think?" said Van Helsing, breathing heavily too.
"Well, if 'someone' had read the map correctly we wouldn't have walked for half an hour around the whole school!!!" replied Carl, yelling the last words.
"Give me a break! ...and if 'someone' had known the difference between 'left and right' we would have arrived earlier!!!" declared Van Helsing, while taking out a key from his right coat pocket.
"Anyway...could you open the door please, Gabriel?"
"I'm working on that...and since when I allowed you to call me by my first name?"
"Since 'Van Helsing' is a long name...and you're taking too much, give me the key"
"No, I can do it...it's just that the mechanism of the lock must be rusty" Then Van Helsing tried again and the door opened. Carl hurried and entered the room first. Van Helsing entered some seconds after and took a look at the whole place, closing the door behind him. On the left was a small chimney surrounded by a chair, a three-people couch and another chair, (in some burgundy color) and a door. On the right were a notice board, a computer (with scanner and printer) and a door. On the front was a large window.
"I think behind one of those two doors is the bedroom"
"Quite impressive Carl" commented sarcastically Van Helsing, while leaving his suitcase on the entry. Carl gave an offended look to Van Helsing and walked towards the door on the left. Van Helsing followed him closely.
When Carl opened the door his luggage fell, he went white and his entire body frozen.
"Sorry, wrong door" he said almost on a whisper. Van Helsing was shocked too, the 'thing' that was in front of them was tall, huge and horrible
"What dormitory where you looking for?" asked the creature on a slow voice
"A-8" replied Van Helsing
"Then you are right, this is dormitory A-8... My name's Frankenstain"
"My name is Van Helsing, Gabriel Van Helsing" introduced Van Helsing
"Oh, and his name's Carl" added, pointing at the still frozen body
"I'm pleased to meet you... and I assure you I'm not as dangerous as I look like"
Carl finally managed to move and let go the handle of the door "My name's Carl ... O'Connor...and ... is Frankenstain your name or your last name...or is both or..." he left the phrase unconcluded
"I just have one name, that actually isn't mine...it is the last name of my creator"
"Is there a problem if I call you 'Frank'...because 'Frankenstain' is a long name" asked Carl, more recovered.
"No, it's ok"
"I'll go for the stuff...be right back" said Van Helsing and left the room
The beds were horizontal, two in the left and two in front of them on the right. Each one had a small table, a lamp and an alarm clock (on the right side) and in the front of the room was a square mirror with two big closets (one left, one right)
"So...which bed did you take?" asked Carl to Frankenstain, noticing that the bedroom was burgundy too
"The one over there" said Frankenstain, pointing at one of the right side (the nearest one of the closet) "If you want, I can move"
"No, no, it's ok...I'll take the one in front of yours" Then, Van Helsing entered the room, carrying his and Carl's suitcases
"Some help won't hurt" Frankenstain approached to Van Helsing and picked up most of the suitcases with no effort.
"Thanks" Carl took his and started unpacking Van Helsing choused the free bed of the right side and started to unpack too.
"I guess no one else's showing up for this dorm" said Frankenstain looking at the light bomb. "Well, they can have troubles with the map"
"Carl, quit it, ok?...perhaps they don't know which one is the left and which one's the right "
"I assure you those are not the reasons" said a voice behind them. The three looked towards the door and Van Helsing's heart jumped...that was his 'lady'
"I'm Anna Valerious...is this A-8?"
"Yes" replied the three in unison
"Right..." then she threw her stuff to the last bed.
"My name is Carl O'Connor"
"And my name's Frankenstain"
"You look a bit...strange" said Anna, noticing the abnormal measures he had.
"He's a weird thing created on a laboratory" replied Carl, to which comment Frankenstain protested
"And you ...who are you?" asked Anna to Van Helsing, but he was still lost, he couldn't see more than Anna and all the sounds were far away, suddenly, he felt a hard knock on his head and snapped on reality again.
"That hurt...who threw it?" asked Van Helsing a bit mad when he saw a heavy chemistry book near him.
"It was me...I was asking you your name, but you were lost"
"Sorry, I'm Gabriel Van Helsing" he said. He was ashamed they had noticed he was lost.
"Well, nice to meet you...I'll see you later" and with that, she faded away.
"You like her"
"Don't start Carl...I do not"
"Yes you do... I saw how you where looking at her"
"Shut up!...and I don't" yelled Van Helsing
"You better leave him Carl...it's obvious he likes her, but he is not going to tell you right away"
"You're on his side...I can't believe it!"
"I'm on my side...what I say it's what I saw" replied Frankenstain
"Nice said Frank!!" exclaimed Carl laughing
"She's beautiful, I won't deny it...but that's all"
"We can continue tomorrow, right now is a bit late and we have classes at fist hour in the morning, so...goodnight" said Carl, still laughing between teeth.
"Good night" replied Frank and Gabriel. Van Helsing couldn't fall asleep as quickly as the others...he even heard when Anna returned to the dormitory, but then he thought about the guy of the blue eyes...how he looked like dead and how he seemed to be in every detail, hearing things from the distance... and the way he stared at him...like knowing everything he was thinking.
That's impossible!!! You are tired, that's all. He then thought again about Anna, and he never noticed when he fell asleep.
