Chapter II
The next day at the order was much more leisurely, but it wasn't quite as perfect as it could have been. For the first time in a long time, Van Helsing got to sleep in, knowing that he didn't have to hunt any monsters today. And for once, he couldn't remember his dreams, a rare treat he didn't often get to enjoy.
Well, well, what a surprise. I actually got a good sleep for once...thought Van Helsing as he groggily opened his eyes late that morning.
Van Helsing was astonished that his morning was going relatively well, until he stepped out of his rooms. He was greeted by Carl.
"Good morning Van Helsing," said Carl as he practically ran into Gabriel
"Oh, hullo Carl."
"Not in the mood to talk? Well, you do look very tired. You must have gotten a good sleep though, if you are just waking up now."
"I'm not really in the mood to talk, Carl, you're right. I did get a fairly good sleep though, and I'm just going to walk around now-"said Gabriel before he was interrupted by Carl.
"Oh! You aren't doing anything Van Helsing?"
"Well, I was on my way for a walk but-"
"Why don't you come over to the lab and I can show you the sword I'm making you?"
"Um, it's alright. I think I'll just take a walk," said Van Helsing, caught off his guard at Carl asking to see his inventions.
"Come on! It'll be fun!" said Carl in excitement as he led the way to the lab, obviously expecting Gabriel to follow him.
"I highly doubt 'fun' is the right word for it..." muttered Gabriel under his breath as he reluctantly trudged behind Carl.
When the two got to the lab, Carl excitedly started showing Van Helsing a crucifix that had been drenched in Holy Water, a pair of Tojo blades, and a silver stake.
"Oh, look," said Van Helsing as he came upon the silver stake,"it's your dangerous toy. Put a warning label on it." And with that, not wanting to see any more of Carl's inventions, Gabriel walked away to explore other areas of the order, and maybe even go into the church. Carl hadn't even showed him the sword.
After walking far away from Carl, Van Helsing decided on the latter; he would go into the church. He needed a bit of luck, and who better to ask, than the One who controls all? (God for those who didn't get it)
After leaving the order's secret area, Van Helsing walked to a pew near the front of the great cathedral, and prayed for luck, and that Carl wouldn't accidentally kill himself with the silver stake before he got a chance to finish the sword he was apparently making. After a while, he got up and went back into the order, not really wanting to go outside or to do much else. As he was entering, he clumsily ran into a woman clad all in black.
The woman fell over and Gabriel cursed.
"Watch where you're going!" she said as she brushed her self off.
"Sorry," said Van Helsing," Are you alright?"
"Yeah, I'm ok, but just watch where you're going next time!"
Van Helsing hadn't meant to run into her, and his somewhat enjoyable morning was going downhill after that odd occurrence.
After stopping to say hello to Carl, for lack of something to so, Gabriel was informed by the little friar that the Cardinal had told him to tell Van Helsing that he would be assigned his next mission that night, and that he might have to get a partner.
"I don't need a partner! I've never had a partner! I didn't even know I could have a partner! " said Van Helsing angrily after Carl told him the facts.
"I know you don't, but the Cardinal seems to think you do. I mean, with you getting bit by that werewolf and all..."
Carl knew at once that he shouldn't have said the bit about the werewolf the moment he saw Gabriel's eyes. They were a mix of fury and sadness. When he had become the werewolf, he had killed Dracula, but he had also killed Anna Valerious, the person he had also been sent to protect until Dracula's death. I t was true, she had died after Dracula had, and it was true that after that moment in time, Van Helsing wasn't responsible for her. But the problem was, he had wanted to be responsible for her. He had wanted to be with her. He had loved her. Anna's death was obviously still a touchy subject to him, and preferred not to talk about it. I don't need a partner thought Van Helsing. The Cardinal's crazy if he thinks he is going to give me one. It was evident that Gabriel much preferred flying solo, not that he would know the difference, because he had never had a partner. Doing assignments alone was what Van Helsing was meant to do, or so he thought....
that's it for ch. 2! Now review and tell me what u thought!
I'll try and update soon!
