Ok here is Ch. 6 enjoy!

FlyingFerret- Yep! Glad you like the short chapters, they're easier to write. Ya slash is a taste thing, but hey it's all good. Thanks for still reading this, I appreciate it!

Kokoro Okami- I got the wig thing from the bloopers on the DVD, heheh I've seen that movie so many times it's scary.

Ok the "thirty years old…" thing is in the part when the brides are attacking the town and Anna runs into a house and she sees one of the brides with a dead guy. She's drinking blood out of a wineglass and she says that.

Huzzah is the British version of Hurray.

INMH- Heheh I like your name, it's spiffy. Yes I believe I got them last night, midnight express.

Dracula: (lying around asleep)

He ate too much… erm, drank too much. But that's ok, he's happy.

Ok thanks for reviewing.


Who says I'm a sniveling Vampire?
I HATE libraries, I HATE Valkyrie's and I HATE sniveling vampires Van cursed as he threw yet another book down. No luck yet as they searched through the book shelves for the millionth time.

"I tell you, there is nothing." Carl said in defeat as he sat down in a leather chair, his head in his hands. Van nodded in agreement, it looked hopeless.

"You mortals give up to easily, and Gabriel, I am NOT a sniveling Vampire." Van and Carl turned to see a very dusty Count walking in with a book.

"One book." Carl said dully.

Dracula grinned and held up the book, "Yes, and the one book with our answer in it." Van and Carl perked up instantly.

"You sure Dracula?" Van asked as he tried to grab the book, Dracula just held it away and laughed.

"Patience my dear Gabriel, patience." Dracula smiled coyly and sat down. They where in yet another small room. It was cozy with a big fireplace and a French style mantelpiece. The walls were polished wood and decorated with various pictures of far off places where people look happy and content with their lives.

"Just hurry up." Growled Van as he took a chair opposite of Dracula.

"Ok. Well this book is about all Norse mythology. It mainly focused on Odin and the "big" gods, but I did find a section on Valkyrie." Dracula skimmed through the book till he reached a dog-eared page.

"That's not good for the book." Carl spoke up suddenly, reaching over and fixing the page. Dracula just stared at him then shook his head.

"Whatever. Anyway, according to this text the only way to stop them is to put them to sleep under a large rock." Van and Carl blinked.

"Like Merlin1?" Carl asked as he got up, walked over and leaned over Dracula's shoulder to look at the page. Dracula cocked his head to the side and paused, then nodded slowly.

"Yes, I believe so."

"How do we put them to sleep?" Van asked as he too leaned over Dracula's shoulder to look.

"A simple spell which I have right here." He produced a worn sheet of paper from his pocket.

"Well? What does it say?" Carl asked impatiently.

"You two are both very impatient mortals." Dracula hissed as he unfolded the paper, "People from my time where a little more polite." He paused. "Gabriel, you're from my time, what happened to those manners you had? Did those disappear along with your memory?"

Van just glared at Dracula, "Hurry up."

"I'm going." He paused as he scanned over the paper.

"So? What does it say?" Carl whined.

"I can't read it out loud lest I put one of you to sleep, but you can look at it." He gave the paper to Carl and sat down.

"Peace be mine

In this sleeping time

Dreams be sweet

My thee to sleep"

"Well that's fairly simple." Carl said as he handed the sheet to Van who too scanned it over.

"So we say that and they sleep." Van asked, Dracula nodded.

"I figure then we can try any way we want to kill them. I figure no ones ever gotten close enough even stab one of them."

Carl nodded, "Yes that's good and all but how do we lure them? We have to figure out why they attacked."

"And for that I have this." Dracula held up yet another sheet of paper, this one newer.

"Dark some Night and Shining Moon,

Hearken to thees' rune.

East then South, West the North.

Hear! Come! I call thee forth!"

"Ah, so that brings them to us?" Carl paced in a circle in between all the books that lay scattered about.

"Well, kind off, it's to lure them, but they still have to have some incentive to come."

Van looked up, his eyes slightly wide; "They do have incentive! Us!"

Dracula and Carl both looked at Van like he was nuts.

"Us? Why us, what did we do? I don't remember doing anything to them. I mean if I did I am sorry but still why us?" Carl babbled on. Dracula smacked him upside the head.

"If you hush Gabriel might tell us." He growled. Carl nodded and stopped his non-sense.

"Well, they have been attacking humans mainly right? For Dracula's case from far away he does look human. So maybe, in the past, humans did something to them. A war that wasn't recorded, it's been known to happen." Van looked at the two others, gauging their reactions. Carl looked stunned and Dracula had no real expression on his face.

"Or they felt like." Dracula offered after a pause. Van shook his head.

"Three "deaths" I don't think so."

"Three attacks that we know off. There could have been more, and if this is revenge I bet there are." Van nodded in agreement. Carl looked totally lost.

"So what's this about some undocumented war and the Valkyrie getting revenge? I'm lost." Carl said, utter confusion written across his face.

"We waged a war on them and slaughtered their people, they are now taking revenge." Van recapped for the lost friar.

"Ah I see. So what are we going to do about it?"

"Go after them." Dracula growled, Van nodding.

"You're insane!" Carl yelled at them, "Both of you are off your rockers! We'll never make it!"

Dracula laughed, "I've made deals with the devil, walked with the dead, and lived when people have died. I have been through wars and uprisings, assassinations and family disownment, this will be a piece of cake." He paused, "And who says I'm right in the head?"

"So, we go after them?" Van asked, standing up a, grin on his face.

"Ya. To Norway we go!" Dracula exclaimed, also standing up.

"We're doomed." Moaned Carl as the three of them left, making a list of provisions.
