Azurah waited for the young man. He finally arrived after a few minutes. "I forgot to introduce myself when we met. I am Lucas Dragulia." he kissed the back of her hand. 'Dragulia...that sounds familiar...' she thought to herself."I am Azurah Van Helsing." she introduced herself.
'So this is the daughter of the great Van Helsing.' he thought to himself. 'What a catch!' He studied her features. Her hair was a curly black. The only thing that ressembled her father was her eyes. She looked like..familiar. She was very beautiful. Lucas didn't know of this child of Van Helsing. He only knew of a son named Mikaƫl.
"Shall we go?" she asked. "Yes. We shall!" and they left.
They had a pleasant night. 'What is this I am feeling for her? Is it love?' he asked himself. 'No. It can't be.' he said.
Days went by
Shadow hadn't spoken to him for days. She hadn't spoken to anyone. He didn't know what was wrong! He couldn't stand to see his one and only love in this state. "Shadow. Please talk to me." he pleaded. She stayed quiet. She didn't look at him.
"Do you still love me?" she asked. "Why are you asking this? Don't you already know?" he was very worried. "Look, into my eyes and tell me you love me." she asked. He did it and now she knew he meant it. "You're not the same person Gabriel. Neither am I." she explained. "I know, Shadow. I know." he answered. "We've both gone soft." he said sadly.
"If it ends up like this. I don't think we should stay together anymore." she said.
It was the hardest thing she ever had to do. But it was for the best. She loved him too much to let go. "I'm soo sorry Van Helsing." her voice faded. Tears welled up in her eyes.
"Plea--" he got cut off by Shadow putting her finger on his lips. Making him stop talking. She kissed him. It was the most passionate kiss ever. It was the last time they were together as a couple. When the kiss ended. Everything was now formal. No lovey-gooey. This was serious work.
He tried his best fighting the tears. So, did she. It was very hard. Gabriel felt dizzy and he stumbled over. Shadow shook him and tried to wake him up. He was unconcious.
In his sleep, Gabriel saw the night when they 1st met. After a while, he woke up.
"Gabriel." she said relived and she hugged him. She smiled. "I remeber! The 1st time we met!" he said. She was surprised.
"Let's stop them." he said and kissed her it was only a peck thought. "We better hurry." she said.
Back with Azurah and Lucas
While Lucas was talking her attention was completly diverted to him. He noticed her stairing. She hung on every word he said. His accent was soo irresistible. Her brown irises was concentrated on his emerald green ones. He had one gold earring. "Let's talk about you." he said and she snapped out of it. "Oh, sorry." she said knowing he caught her stairing.
"Me? What about me?" she asked.
"How about..your family? Tell me about them." he said. She didn't know what to say. 'I can say that my father is the great Van Helsing! But I already told him my last name...Oh well.' she thought. "I guess you might have already figured out that Van Helsing is my father..." she trailed off..she was worried that he wouldn't like her because of her fathers reputation towards normal people. He was considered a murderer to people he never actually met him,especially the police.
He was also considered a holy man to people whose lives he saved.
'I was right. She is his daughter. Now, to find out about her mother and siblings.' he thought. "What about your mother?
She must be very pretty, cause you inherited her genes." he said. It was a pretty corny line, but the thought was sweet.
She blushed.
'Should I tell him about my mom? She IS a demon.' she thought. "Can I trust you?" she asked. "I swear to God." he smiled.
She leaned in closer, so no one would here. Even though they were in a private booth in the most fanciest restaurant in town. "My mother is Shadow, she is a demon..." "So your part demon?" he asked. "Yes..." she said sadly. "I have a secret of my own...I am a vampire." he said.
She laughed. "Are you serious?" He turned red. "Oh my god...you are serious..." she realized he really was serious. "But I--""You thought all vampires died when your father killed my father?" he cut her off. "HOLY SH--" "Calm down!
You dont want 2 much attention directed to us." Azurah nodded. She ran her hand through his hair. 'I hope he's not like his father...' she hoped.
The vampire read her mind. He got confused. "I'm sorry. I..I have to go." he payed the bill and left. Azurah ran after him. "Why are you leaving?" she asked once outside the building. "I need to find out something." he replied. "I'll help you!" "No, I have to find if I am like my father." he said.
She then knew that he read her mind. "I didn't mean it that way! I never knew your father but my parents. My parents they told me about him." she explained. "I knew my father. I know what you mean. My father was evil. I don't want to be like him..." Azurah put a conforting hand on his shoulder. He pulled away. "Don't worry. Meet at the basilica tommorow." and he kissed her.
She stood there. 'And I thought mom was complicated.' she thought. She watched him leave. He flashed her one smile before leaving. When he was gone, she started walking back to the Order HQ.
