Chapter I- The talk of Monsters and Rain.

A silent humming could be heard throughout the halls of the Valerious Mansion. Carl stood at a big desk with a saw and other equipment, it was obvious that he was working on another invention that would surely help Van Helsing in his quest to forever destroy Dracula and his Minions. Carl hummed a little louder, creating a slight echo within the room.

Van Helsing heard the light sound of humming, and he smiled slightly to himself. Recognizing the voice as Carl's. He walked into the room, to see Carl and chuckled heartily. "Hello, Carl " He greeted.

Carl turned around, seeing Van Helsing he smiled a little "Hello" he said then turned back, continuing with his work which had been endless for days.

Van Helsing returned the smile and watched him. "Having fun?" He asked him.

"Who would'nt be..now leave me alone, artist at work"Carl said, still looking at his work he picked up a book and flicked through the pages of it, seeing if there would be anything useful in the torn pages.

"Right," Van Helsing laughed and walked out, looking around rather boredly.

Anna Valerious, the last in her family's bloodline, strolled the empty halls, looking for Van Helsing. She turned a corner and saw him standing there in the doorway, and headed towards him, her boots tapping on the hard stone floor. She walked right up to him, standing infront of him

Anna looked at him "I was looking for you" She stated, her Transilvanian accent heavy in her voice.

"For me? What for?" He queried curiously.

"Just looking...nothing important. i just did'nt see you all day and i got a bit worried"Anna replied.

"Worried? About me?" He smiled, and laughed shortly, "No need to worry about me," He told her, adding a smile.

"Well danger could be lurking behind every corner"she says "Just don't be caught off guard" Anna added.

"I'm never caught off guard," Van Helsing bragged. Though of course that was not always so, for there where many times when monsters jumped out at him, when he thought he was'nt looking.

"You lie"Anna said, her dark brown eyes piercing him to the bone.

"Okay so perhaps once or twice, but I won't let it happen again," He informed her.

"Good..so what are we doing on this fine day?" she says, being sarcastic, turning to look out the nearest window, rain falling heavily.

"Nothing..." He replied and walked towards the window. "Carl is working on a new invention, as usual " He stated.

"Oh good..i wouldnt like to go out in that weather hunting for some creature" Anna replied "You could though" She added, she knew he could handle anything in almost any weather condition.

"I could..." He said emphasizing the word could. "Does not mean that I will," He said not feeling up to going out.

"Of course it does'nt..and i'm not saying you have to go out..would'nt want you catching a cold now would we?" she says in again another sarcastic manner.

"No we wouldn't," Van Helsing agreed with a hint of a smile.

To be continued...
