Chapter 5-

A/N: Sorry for taking so long but school has me busy and it gives me writer's block so yeah, here is the 5th chapter enjoy!!

The group was sitting in Kate's living room. Kate was on the couch next to Anna and Van Helsing, Carl was once again in the recliner, James and Libby where next to him, Kevin and Alice where sitting on the floor. Alice was paging through "The Vampire Encyclopedia." Looking for who knows what, Carl was looking curiously over her shoulder.

"Yes Carl this is an encyclopedia on vampires that I am reading." She said noticing the friar.

"But who would write it?" The friar said looking at a table containing ways to detect vampires.

"Matthew Bunson." Alice said after looking quickly at the cover.

"Oh." Carl leaned back and looked at James who was conversing with Libby.

"I am telling you, Lib, there is no S.A.D.D. meeting next Tuesday!" James said.

"Yes there is! I heard it with my own ears in 3rd block." Libby replied.

"Then yours are faulty."

"They are not!"

"Are too!"

"James, what is the basis of all knowledge?" Carl suddenly and seemly very randomly asked.

James froze and his eyes widened.

"Uhhhhhh...." He went into deep thought, his brow furrowed in concentration. "Science?" He said.

"Correct, you studied." Carl said smiling slightly.

James grinned at the fact that his answer was correct.

Kate stood up and walked over to a table and picked up a emerald amulet suspended from a sliver chain. The emerald was wrapped in a thin gold metal, making it appear fishnet like.

"And this is the tear drop shaped amulet that my parents brought back home from Japan." Kate said as she tossed it to Van Helsing, who looked at it with great interest.

"Did they say anything about it?" Anna asked, looking over Helsing's shoulder at the sparkling amulet.

"Just that they got it at a curiosity shop in Japan and that is was supposed to be very old, like 17th century old." Kate replied.

Van Helsing passed the necklace to Carl who held it up to the lamp, looked at it intensely, turning it over and over in his hands.

"You guys can look it over, I'm going to go do my report I'll be upstairs in my room if you need me. Oh and if you need to make a call, use the cell phone, cause I am going to be on the Internet and my parents need to update to high speed still." Kate jumped up and walked up the stairs. The Helsing's crew looked after her with confused looks on their faces as to what she just said Kevin saw their confusion.

"For homework from school she got a report and she is going to use the Internet, an archive of infinite knowledge." Carl's head snapped up at the words "infinite knowledge" making Kevin pause for a moment in wonder at how the little friar could move so fast. "Erm right, well, Kate being on the net, as it is called, stops calls from coming through on the telephone so we have to use her cell phone if we have to make a call to anyone." The boy finished, as if he where simply giving directions on how to get to the refrigerator.

Carl carefully set the amulet down and got up.

"Where are you going?" Van Helsing said.

"To the Internet." The friar replied, following Kate's path up the stairs.

Alice was buckled over in silent fits of laughter over something, she was like this the entire time, simply unnoticed. That is until she burst out in loud peals of giggles. She was turning red from so much laughing. Everyone's heads moved over to her.

"What in the seven levels?" James said.

After a few minuets of this insane and seemingly unprovoked laughter Alice regained herself just long enough to shove her book over to James, who picked it up.

"Stealing the left sock. Useful for only a few species; fill a sock with soil, grave dirt, or rocks, and throw outside of village limits, aiming for a river." James read aloud, Alice silently giggling in the background. James looked severely confused and reread it several times. "Van Helsing.....what on earth?"

"It's a method of vampire elimination." Van Helsing replied, watching the girl before him roll over the lushly carpeted floor, in fits of laughter.

"Alice....what is so funny?" James said, clearly not getting it.

"I got your sock! I got your sock! I got your sock!! Nah, nah, nah, nananah!! I got your sock Dracy!" Libby said in a sing song voice and dancing around the room with her left sock in her hand.

Upstairs-

Carl padded down the hallway, the peals laughter floating up from downstairs, to Kate's room. He was clearly curious about this Internet. He came to her room's door and lightly knocked.

"S'open." Kate's voice emanated from inside.

Carl walked entered her room and saw a thin black item sitting in front of the girl.

"Can I see the Internet?" He asked, quietly.

Kate looked up and laughed a bit.

"Sure. Come here." She motioned for the friar to sit in front of her laptop. Carl did so and was greeted with the Google search engine, Transylvanian history.

"Is this it?" Carl's head was cocked to one side and his brow raised, something he picked up from being around the teens.

"Well, that's a search engine. You type anything in here." Kate pointed to a box with letters that spelled out Transylvanian History, 1400's. "And you type whatever you wish in with the keyboard." She pointed to the many-keyed board. "Then you hit enter then on the keyboard and what you typed in pops up and almost every site on that subject pops up and then you click on the link, which is in blue and it takes you to the site." She clicked on a link entitle Encyclopedia of Transylvanian History. The pages switched and a plethora of information exploded upon the screen. Kate smiled and began to jot down notes.

Carl sat in utter amazement for a few minuets before his eyes caught something, a name.

"Kate....I thought you said that we where only a movie?" He said.

"You are." Kate replied, not really noticing the surprise in his voice, while writing down notes on some Boyars.

"Then why is Dracula on this site?"

"What?!" Kate's head snapped up and Carl pointed to the Count's name. Right there in bold print, Vladislaus Draguila. "Holy sheep! He is there! And so is Helsing's!! Look!!!" Two sentences down was the name Gabriel Van Helsing.

"We do exist." Carl said.

Kate's eyes scanned the page and she scrolled up and gasped in shock.

"T-this is real...it's the same company who makes....our history books....JAMES!!!!!" Kate tore out of the room, leaving Carl blinking and hurrying to catch up.

A/N: Sorry again for the wait!! Don't hate me. The part about the Left sock and The Vampire Encyclopedia came from an actual book. I got it over the weekend at Hot Topic, practically had a heart attack when I saw it, but it has cool stuff about detecting and destroying vampires . By the book I could be a vampire....I am very pale, I don't like bright lights and prefer the darkness, I don't have an appetite what can I say I just don't get hungry, I have strange clothing habits; but I'm a Goth so its strange to just about everyone and lastly I rarely discuss religion. But anyways...it also has a Vampire Hunter's kit.

Also I found the best song ever! Dracula's Wedding by Outkast!!! EEEEE!!!! I love the lyrics especially this one: "Plus I make great peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.....Van Helsing." Hehehehe it's so random! I also love this one: "So much at stake oh! Bad choice of words." You have to hear it! Its on the speaker box CD and it can be found a FYE.

Oh yeah I have a photo album if anyone wishes to see it its at It's a group so if anyone who likes Dracula looks at it you can join and then you'll have a place to hang out with other Dracula or vampire people .
