Carl mumbled around the small lab, Which had been built especially for him. There was three workdesks, numerous vials and containers. Not to mention all the strange boliers carl himself had set up.
He fumbled through a few drawers, until finally finding what he was looking for. a book, over turned, the pages dog-eared and stained. "Ah" He said his eyes lighting up.
There was a rap at the door. THe door swung open and hung a little to the side, Comming of the hinges. Carl snapped the book shut and crept into the main room of the small cottage. Standing there was a big, hairy looking man, a plank of wood in one hand. He grunted and picked the small friar up by his collar. "Where.is.she?" The man wheezed. Carl squinted and made a face "I have no idea what your talking about...But you have really bad breath, close your mouth please" The man threw Carl against the wall "The girl.The crazy girl!" He cried hitting the window with the plank causing it to shatter. Carl held up his arm to protect his face from the shards of glass, "That was our only window" He mumbled. He had a habbit of mumbling. The big man stopped and kneeled beside the friar "Your only window? Poor you. Tell me where the girl is and I might not kill you." He said purposfully blowing on the poor friar's face. Carl coughed "I do have a drink that could help that breath problem.." The man shook carl, interupting his sentence."Answer me! Tell me where she is!!!!" Carl opened his mouth shut it, then opened it again. "Well, Tell me!!" Carl was violently shaken again. "Honestly, If I had a clue what you were talking about I'd tell you.." "Tell Me where the werewolf is!" Carl was momentairly shocked "You know she is a werewolf..I told her to stay here. Oops" Of course, With Carl momentairly, is enough to get a sentence out.
Jade struggled, but the figure dragged her through the bustling crowds anyway.They reached the edge of the forest. The figure let go of Jade's wrist "Evening. Alright, simple question, simple answer. Will you tell me where carl is?" Jade shook her head "Simple answer. no" A knife was immediatly at her throat "Wrong answer" "Drop the knife, tell me who you are and I might tell you where carl is." She managed. The figure stood up. "If I tell you who I am, You won't take me. So I best remain a secret." Jade stopped being afraid and stood up "I already know who you are" "Do you now" the figure said, Amused. "The only ones who knew who Carl was, Were the monks. The only one who would have come looking for him would have to be Van Helsing. Nice to finally meet you"
Van Helsing removed the hood, Which he had to admit was annoying, He much preferred his hat. "Alright, You have a head on you shoulders. Now, I need to know where carl is." Jade thought for a moment, "If you won't take him away, then I will tell you where is his." Van Helsing smiled. "Agreed"
Carl was getting tired, Being dangled three feet in the air was boring, not to mention uncomfortable. He raised his hand and tapped the man on the head. "Um..Excuse me." The man growled, and lowered Carl to the ground. "Going to tell me know?" Carl nodded, then raised his eyebrows in shock. The man turned to see Jade and Van Helsing enter the room. The Man raised a pistol, which caused Carl to remark "Where did that come from?" Van Helsing had his own pistol raised high. "There you are girl. Been quite a nuisance latley." Jade cowered behind Van Helsing, "Jason, Don't be rash. You have no proof." Jade stepped out from behind Van Helsing, In her hands was the tojo blades. This, causing Van Helsing to raise HIS eyebrows. He looked to Carl, who just shrugged. The man, now identified as Jason chuckled, making the small cottage shake, Carl paranoidly looked to the roof and walls. Jade took another step forward. "I have plenty of proof Jade. You carry it with you." IN a swift move he had leaned over and raised the corner of her shirt.Van Helsing turned his pistols aim to Jade. The moon was rising in the night sky, a strange glow about it. Now there was two pistols on Jade, a foot on Carl and a door hanging dangoursly from it's hinges.
Carl managed a smile "Nice to see you again Van Helsing" For what seemed like hours, the four remained the same. It was easy to hear the crickets and gently sway of the trees. The floor boards creaked on their own, and you could hear a bubbling comming from Carls lab.
Suddenly everyone moved at once, Jade activated the tojo blades, Carl crawled out from under Jasons foot and rolled down the stairs to the lab, Van Helsing and Jason eyed each other carefully. A loud shot rang out, Scaring the bats from the trees. Then again all was silent,even the crickets.
