The Lie - Part 6
Carl walked back to the Valerious manion and he walked inside. Van Helsing followed Carl, and He walked back in still having a bit of remaining smoke in his lungs, he coughed again. He walked inside and set Anna down on the couch and looked at her. Anna's skin was pale and her eyes where open, but they had gone dull and she did'nt move. her cheeks where covered in the blackest of ash and she looked like a ghost. Carl walked out of the room for a moment, looking for something.
Van Helsing looked at her, tears beginning to show in his dark eyes. "Anna... No... " He said quietly.
Anna did'nt respond, she remained in place, the wounds she took from Dracula had caused her to lose blood. She stared back up at him, her gray eyes showed no emotion nor love.
Van Helsing looked at her, she had betrayed him... So why should he care about her anymore? He thought bitterly to himself and just suddenly walked away.
Carl walked back inside,holding a few books under his arm, he looked at Van Helsing, seeing him walk away from Anna "Are you alright? " he asked, thinking the obvious answer would be no.
Anna layed on the couch, dead, lifeless,and unwanted.
"No!" He replied a little harshly, and walked down the hall.
"Nice..very nice "Carl said Sarcastically. He looked at Anna's dead form, trying to hold back tears. He picked her up and took her to another room, and put her on a bed, and then he closed her eyes and made the sign of the cross. Then he put a blanket over her.
Van Helsing sat in the living room, his arms crossed over his chest, looking rather miserable and upset.
Carl walked about, then back to the living room "Do you miss her? "he asked.
"Why should I?" Van Helsing asked bitterly, not even looking at Carl. He did miss her, he just was not admitting it.
"Because i have a funny feeling you admired her " Carl replied, trying to cheer him up.
Van Helsing sighed and looked away, trying not to smile. He did not answer in fear of chuckling.
"She just tried to protect you..did you see the way she was acting..like Dracula was in control of her" Carl said, thinking back.
"I don't care..." He replied "I don't think about her anymore..." He said suddenly, though of course that was not so, one could not just stop thinking about someone in only a few minutes.
"Well have it your way then." Carl said, then sat at a table reading some books in silence saying to himself "That's interesting." occasionally.
Van Helsing looked at him, raising a brow. "What is so interesting!" He then snapped.
"Nothing, nothing.."Carl said, too wrapped up in the book.
"Right..." Replied Van Helsing watching him curiously.
Carl carried on reading until nightfall. Soon he fell asleep at the table, his head on a book.
Van Helsing looked at him, and laughed softly at the sight. He walked to a room and laid down on a bed. He yawned, thinking about Anna, tears at last fell from his eyes and he tried to sleep.
