"The rest of out assignment?" asked Aluka skeptically.
"The rest," said the cardinal, "Will be simple enough. It doesn't concern you, Aluka, so you may leave. Get your things packed, and get a good sleep."
"You're gonna need it," said Gabriel.
"Thanks for the tip, Gabriel."
Van Helsing, who hadn't been looking at her, turned at the sound of his name.
"Goodnight, cardinal. Goodnight," she said, looking at Van Helsing.
"Goodnight...Aluka."
If we are going to be partners, we might as well be on a first name basis, thought Van Helsing. He got up to leave, but the cardinal stopped him.
"Wait, I have to tell you about the rest of the assignment."
"Alright."
"You are probably wondering why I have been so kind to Aluka."
"Yeah, I was."
"It isn't very fair, especially, since the girl doesn't know, but you are going to use her as bait."
"Bait. I don't get it."
"She will help you with the mission in other ways too, of course, but she will be a bait for Dracula."
"Why?"
"The way for Dracula to have living children, is for him to have a living mother."
"Oh," said Van Helsing, "So we are going to lure Dracula to us using the girl, Aluka?"
"Yes, that is one reason why she's is going. You should have tried a little harder to kill Frankenstein's...creation. I know, I know, it wasn't evil," added the cardinal when he saw Gabriel protest.
"So, Van Helsing, you must use her as bait as soon as possible."
"Not as soon as possible, I will wait...for the opportune moment."
"Very well, you may leave."
Gabriel got up to go, and his feet led him to his quarter's, where he prepared for his next long assignment....with a partner....in Transylvania...Definitely not my day...he thought. Definitely not.
The next morning, bright and early, Aluka and Gabriel woke and headed for the armory. When they got there, they found, much to Gabriel's amusement, that Carl had nodded out on the table.
Aluka motioned to Van Helsing to be quiet. Then, she snuck up behind Carl, and, with perfect timing poked him in the center of his back, making him twitch, wake up, and fall to the floor.
Aluka broke into a fit of giggles, and Van Helsing smiled at Carl, on the floor and looking utterly confused.
"I'm alright," he said, just making Aluka laugh more.
"It really wasn't that funny," he said simply, not happy that he had been awakened.
"Yes it was."
"No, it wasn't."
"Was."
"It was not!"
"You are so very in denial, because it was hilarious."
Carl and Aluka went 'was-wasn't' for a while, before Van Helsing interrupted.
"Break it up children." They stopped, after being called children. When Gabriel turned his back to Aluka, she mouthed "Was" at Carl. Not noticing that Gabriel was talking to him, he mouthed back, "Wasn't".
"Carl!"
"What? Oh, yes?"
"Are you even listening?"
"Yes, of course."
"Ok, then I will need the things I just mentioned for the assignment."
Aluka doubled over in silent laughter. Carl looked dumbstruck.
"Those items included...?"
"FINE! I'LL JUST TELL YOU AGAIN! SINCE YOU CAN'T EVEN LISTEN TO ME FOR THREE SECONDS WHILE I AM TRYING TO TELL YOU WHAT I NEED!" yelled Gabriel, clearly once again in a bad mood.
"I'm really, really sorry," whispered Carl, looking like a mouse.
"I need standard anti-vampire stuff. And that new sword you were talking about. Oh, and some Tojo blades. That should do it. Oh, and the girl will need stuff too."
"Alright," said Carl, scurrying around getting everything Gabriel had asked for.
"I have a name you know," said Aluka to Gabriel. If he heard her, he didn't let her know it.
"Whatever."
After Carl, had gotten all of Gabriel's things, including hid new sword, that had a black and silver hilt, with a perfectly balanced blade.
"Wow Carl. This is really nice. Thanks."
"Aluka, I also made a sword for you."
"Oh thanks Carl!"
He handed it to her, and Aluka was amazed. It was beautiful. It had a silver hilt with a design that looked like a ripple in a stream protecting her hand (u know, like that thing that protects your knuckles if anyone whacks your hand). The blade was curved ever so slightly (think Arwen's sword in lotr) and there was a design on it like the hilt on the sword.
"Carl, it's great. Thank you so much." And she went over to him and hugged him. The little friar went pink.
"So, let's head out," said Gabriel, killing the moment, much to Carl's displeasure.
"Yes, let's go," agreed Aluka, and followed Van Helsing out to get some horses.
"This is gonna be long trip," said Van Helsing to himself as he heard Aluka drop something and Carl say, "Oh, I'll get that for you." "Thanks Carl," he heard. Gabriel rolled his eyes, as he turned to tell them to hurry up.
A very long trip...he thought as they ran to catch up with him, Carl almost tripping on his friar outfit.
Ok then, ch V for u!
I need your input, so review please! Thanks!
