DISCLAMER! - I do not own Van Helsing… wish I did though

Prologue

Van Helsing has just returned from Trancilvainia, he hasn't been feeling quite himself lately. And he's been worried that the where-wolf bite didn't heel fully. Van Helsing I s resting in his chamber knowing that when he awakes he will be given a new assignment. Van wakes up the next day and for a brief moment he has a feeling of sharpness, everything seems to have more detail, and for a half a second he feels stronger. He blinks and everything returns to normal. This is where our story begins.

"What was that?" thought van Helsing getting up and ignoring the abnormal feeling of strength.

He left the chamber only to find an eager looking Carl waiting his waking.

"Good morning Van Helsing"

Carl stated eagerly. Van merely nodded in response still feeling slightly groggy from his sleep.

"The meeting for your next assignment has started already… hurry up!" the friar said leading him down the hall.

When they arrived the jennet was already waiting for them " good you're awake" he said.

Van sat down and set his hat on the table "ok what's my mission?" Van asked in a groggy voice.

"We have noticed that a large number of half where-wolves disappear once a year for two weeks" he replied.

"What's a half where-wolf?" van asked

" A where-wolf that has ether been cured before their first full moon or one that has something called the mark of the moon" he continued "cince their is no known cure we assume they have the mark of the moon, Carl will explain more later." The priest finished.

Van nodded remembering his brush with almost becoming where-wolf. "More to the point we are getting suspicious and want you to check into all of these disappearances" jennet stated.

Van sat still for a moment mulling all this information in his head "where am I going and when do I leave?" Van finally asked.

"As soon as possible and as far as where concerned to the middle of the ocean, to where we tracked a half where-wolf to about a year ago" the priest replied

"So I leave in an hour" Van said.
