We had returned to Rome just 4 days ago, Van Helsing has spoken only a had full of words since Anna's funereal.

I fear that the light I once saw in his beautiful onyx eyes has been extinguished for good, as selfish as it sounds, it

seems Anna has taken what little I had of him into death with her. all that I have tried to bring him out of his self

hatred has failed. He has pushed me away time, and time again with hate full words and jester's. The latest

attempt became violent, he struck out with so much speed, that I did not know what had happened till it was over

. I know in his sorrow he did not know he harmed me, and I received far worse as a child. But to have Van Hel...

Gabriel be the one who attacked, was far more harmful emotionally, then any physical pain I could have endure.

That was when his Grace the Cardinal had ordered Van Helsing into seclusion, and for my own well being asked

me to let him be, and I did Two weeks have past seance i last saw Van Helsing, my cuts are healing and the bruising

has changed from a dark black blue, to a sickly greenish red that no longer hurts to move. As word travailed that I

was up and about once more, his Grace called me to his chambers. I took my time make my way to his chambers,

taking every route that had long seance been abandoned, so not to run in to the keep of my heart, as I was about to

knock, the door opened and I was pushed violently to the side as Van Helsing, him self walks angrily away. Shaken

I did not hear his Grace speaking to me, nor see him move towards me, till it was to late, I felt a hand upon my arm

and for a minuet I was lost within a memory of a time I was less the safe. I screamed and Coward from the touch.

As as fast is I was lost I was found, looking up from the floor up in to the eyes of the Cardinal. I blushed then stammered,

"I'm sorr... sorry your grace yo you have need of mee?" such a man that the Cardinal was, he let all that he had witnessed

be. "yes my son I have need of you to partake in a quest" more relaxed i answer "i would be happy to help your grace"

,then asked "what must i do?" the cardinal smiles "you have been the only living man of science to see a werewolf, also

to see the effects upon the human body. As well you are the only one who has seen the cure work. There for I believe

you would have the highest chance in reproduce the antidote" answered the Cardinal. Shocked and pleased that he

thought so highly of me, I almost forgot what this would Intel not only would I have to acquire werewolf venom from

a living specimen, the only living survive of werewolf venom to be cured had just stormed out that door oh dear what

to do what to do?
