Chap.4
When they got there Anna got out of the carriage and ran over to the dock and looked out. "is this the sea?" she asked van helsing. Van Helsing came up behind her and put his arms around her. "No it's the bay." she looked disappointed and relived at the same time. "but the sea comes when you leave the bay." she smiled "good because this water is way to dirty." he laughed and she just realized that his arms were around her waste. She smiled even more. "Come on you two love birds we have to leave now!!!" Carl screamed from the deck. "Alright alright we're coming Jeese." he took his arms off of her and took her hand in his and they both started walking. When they got on the boat the captain greeted them. " ah Van Helsing, Carl nice to see you again." same to you K.C." he smiled as he saw Van Helsing and Anna holding hands" ah, Van Helsing I see you brought a friend." Van Helsing looked at Anna. Anna looked around to see if she could see the friend that he brought, she realized it was her and blushed. "It would be nice to introduce her to him." Carl said. "Oh sorry K.C. this is Anna Valerious princess of..." "Transylvania yes the Valerious family last time they were on this boat van helsing was talking if that's what you call it 'Anna's dead she's dead I killed her.' I looked at Carl looking for an answer and all he did was shrug and say ' he's been like that the last few hours. poor guy I guess he really liked her as a friend of course people like Van Helsing do not fall in love.' and I got really confused at that but still I always wanted to meet a princess." everyone was staring at him. "are you done?" van helsing asked him. "Yes" good." van helsing looked at Carl with a dirty looked. Carl looked like a scared little puppy. "You said I couldn't fall in love. Well let me tell you something Carl I can so very fall in love. you'll see one day im going to find the right one and she's going to be beautiful and perfect in my sight and wonderful in every way possible and..." he was about to say something that described Anna. I am not telling her that yet. He looked over to Anna's direction and saw hurt and jealousy. He walked over to her "but I haven't found her yet and I don't think I will for a while" he fibbed. Anna looked up at him and smiled. Yeah right Carl thought. "Van Helsing where do we stay?" Anna asked him. "Come ill show you your room." he took her to a room. The walls were all dirty and paint was chipped off. She and van helsing enter the room. She looks around "uh...it's very nice." she tried to sound impressed. "I know it's not fit for a princess but..." she cut him off." now its fine, really. Soooo where do you sleep?" she asked him. He smiled slightly "in here" her eyes got wide. she turned t face him and looked at the cot that was on the floor." we have to sleep on that thing together." she pointed at it like it was a fungus or something gross. "oh no" he went over to a wall and kicked it. Nothing happened. He kicked it again and again and again. He turned to her she looked confused. "huh, well it doesn't seem to be working but I will get It." this time he kicked it really hard and the board fell back on him. She gasped and ran over to him. she leaned down" are you alright." he started laughing." she stood up and put her hands on her hips "I don't see what is so funny." "it was the wrong place." he answered her. He got up and put the board back on the wall. He kicked another place on the wall and he moved aside and a bed came out. The sheets were all dusty and dirty. "I... don't have sleep on that... right?" he smiled at her" no I will." she sighed" good" they stood in silence for about 10 min. than a knock o n the door ruined their moment of silence. "guys I was wondering what was taking so long because it's kind of lunch time." Anna and Van Helsing looked at each other" it's Carl" they said together. "Coming Carl" van helsing said. He opened the door and put his hand out "ladies first." he smiled. She smiled. "Thank you, mister Van helsing." she walked out. "Your welcome Miss Valerious." he said and he started to walk out but Carl stopped him. "What were you two really doing in there?" Van helsing caught on to him. "Carl we were not making out, if that's what you are thinking in that twisted mind of yours!! and plus we are not ready for that stage in our relation ship." he yelled at Carl." Carl looked at him." sure you are you told me you kissed her in Dracula's castle." "oh yeah, I forgot." Carl looked at him" how could you forget something like that. Maybe she forgot it but..." van helsing gasped when he heard him say that. I hope she didn't forget. Carl just kept on talking. Van Helsing watched her walk down onto the main deck. He smiled. "Come on Carl you're the one told us to come to lunch so come on." Carl stopped talking and looked at van helsing, and paused for a moment like he was thinking "oh okay." Van helsing shook his head. They walked down to the main deck and saw Anna and K.C. sitting down. Van Helsing walked over to Anna and sat down next to her. "Hello Anna" she looked over at him and smiled "hello Van helsing." He sniffed the air. "smells like..." he sniffed the air again." crab, no lobster in butter sauce." everyone looked at him strangely and than K.C. said" that's exactly what we are having." Anna looked down her face full of hurt. Van helsing looked over to her. He put his arm around her and pulled her to his chest. She started crying again. "it's aright Anna I promise I will not hurt you I wont hurt Carl or anyone that is nice I promise." but she still cried. Across the table Carl and K.C. were staring at the two. "are you sure he can't fall in love because it looks like he is." K.C. whispered t Carl. Carl looked at him." you're right my friend he is in love with the princess of Transylvania." he said as they continued to watch van helsing comfort Anna in her moment of depression. Finally Van Helsing looked up and saw Carl and K.C. staring at them. "Are we bothering you?" van helsing asked the two." what? No of course not." K.C. answered. Van Helsing looked down and saw that Anna had fallen asleep on him. He smiled " she's apparently not hungry I'll go put her to bed." Van Helsing said. He got up took Anna in his arms and went upstairs. he opened the door and put Anna down on the bed and was about to leave when he heard." don't leave me." he turned around and saw Anna laying there looking at him. He smiled and came to her side and took her hand in his. "I will never leave you, Anna." she smiled and managed to whisper" good" before she fell asleep. He smiled and laid down right next to her. Carl and K.C. were waiting for Van Helsing to come down. "I'll go see what's taking so long." K.C. nodded and Carl ran upstairs. He knocked on the door and walked in and saw van helsing and Anna lying next to each other. How cute they look together. He smiled and closed the door and went back downstairs. K.C. looked at him. "Apparently he wasn't hungry either. I found him and Anna sleeping next to each other on the bed." K.C. smiled." they do make a cute couple." Carl nodded in agreement. "I was meaning to ask you this all evening." Carl looked at him." what?" "Do you know why Van Helsing was sniffing the air and he guessed exactly what we were having for lunch and that he said he smelt it?" Carl took a deep breath. "Yes. You see it's along story." K.C. looked at him." well its only lunch time, so tell me." Carl sighed and began the story of the time at Transylvania. "And that's why Anna is so upset because her boyfriend is part ware-wolf."K.C. looked confused, suprised, and amused. "Oh" was all he had to say..
Back in Van Helsing's and Anna's room
Anna awoke slowly and felt something right beside her. she started to panic, than she looked up and saw van helsing sleeping and relaxed. he woke up and saw her staring at him. he smiled " hello, My dear anna." she smiled. I can't belive he just said that that i'm his dear Anna. she thought happily. " hello" she managed to say being lost in dreamland. "you made quite a scene back there."he said but she didnt move or say anything. "Helloooo, anna, whoohoo. You there." he waved his hand in front of her face. Still no movement." PRINCESS ANNA MARIE VALERIOUS ANSWER ME RIGHT NOW!!!!!" That snapped her out of dreamland. " what?...oh sorry i was thinking about stuff." he smiled" stuff?" she smiled." yes stuff." he chuckled " come on we got to go back to the table." she was lost in dreamland again. He groaned and went over and kissed her gently on the cheek. She snapped out of dreamland (again) and stared at him. He smiled "what was that?" she asked dreamily. "You were la-la land i did it to snap you out of it" he said "oh" she said like she dint want it to happen but secretly she enjoyed that very much. He got up and gave her his hand. She took it and got up. "By the way, how did you know my middle name." he smiled "well, when i got back from the mission in translvania i asked The Cardinal to tell me it and he said Mr. van helsing I must ask you why you wan to know. I looked at him and said i just do please tell me he looked at me and said fine her middle name is Marie. I said thank you and walked away." anna looked very confused. "Ok" was all she said. "Alright come on lets get down stairs." anna smiled" good because i'm starving." he smiled and they walked hand and hand to the table.
