Ok, I got some very positive reviews about my Van Helsing fic. I am continuing, so here is the first official chapter!

Chapter 1

"Van Helsing! Wait!" Carl called after Van Helsing , who was moving very quickly to the Cathedral. The frustrated friar tried to follow the fast-paced steps of his colleague, but because of the so many bags he held, all he could stumble and trip.

"Van Helsing! What is the rush? He is only giving us another mission to take care of! He can wait a moment later! We have been gone for six months!"

What Carl said was true. The moment Anna had died and cremated, Van Helsing and Carl had been called to investigate gargoyles in Italy. Then here becomes there, and they had been gone six months, now they were back in headquarters, the Cathedral.

The Pope, in his last letter, had mentioned something about a new guest. That was the reason they had to return. It concerned them and the last time they were in Transylvania. The Pope had wanted them to escort the guest to Transylvania, but for what reason, they had no idea.

But lately, as Carl had noticed, how more silent Van Helsing had been. He had still remembered how the werewolf inside of him had killed the one women he had loved. Anna Valerious. Returning to where Anna had died was liking stabbed in the heart many times over again. If he had known she was going to die that night, he would have done more than kiss her and wish her luck. It still pained him to even think about her in anyway…

Van Helsing's grey eyes sparkled seeing the Cathedral, his only place of comfort, again.

"Carl, it is good to be back." He waited for a response, but received no response from the ever noisy friar. "Carl? Carl! Where are you, man?"

Carl soon came to the side of Van Helsing. Tired and sighing, he dropped two of the bags.

"Well, lovely, you finally stopped! Took you long enough! And look, we're already here!"

Carl picked the bags he dropped, and both men started up the steps of the Cathedral. But, once again, the bags caught Carl again, and the friar ended up flat on his face.

"Are you alright?"

Carl turned his head. "Yes, but I think I will rest for a moment, if you do not mind…" Carl sighed in relief and turned his head back to the pavement.

Van Helsing rolled his eyes and waited for his companion to get off the ground…
