Ok people a somewhat sappy chapter ahead, nothing tear jerking but it's a little odd, and I think Dracula's a bit OOC, but whatever.
Reviews!
Kokoro- Parents can be nasty little buggers can't they? Yesh, I understand (nods) Glad you liked the smootchen, I did. (rawr) Hmmmm, I think any of them are cute half asleep…. Except Anna….. I don't like her…. Her brother's hot though. (rawr)
Dracula: Pff!
Hehheh, jealous?
Dracula: NO!
Right. Anyway, yes Carl finding out seems to be fairly popular. I just have to figure out how to do it. Won't happen for a while though, be patient grasshopper.
My step dad commented on the English spelling of the cities as well, he lived in Germany for several years… dunno were he stayed though.
It's ok, I understand not being able to review every chapter.
(Hugs Dracula for you)
Dracula: PFFT! Another fan girl?
You have many.
Catherine Travington- Ya, I understand you completely my parents are hawks as well. (Shakes head) Anyway, thanks for reviewing, it's all good.
Desolator- I might keep it light, and if I don't the chapter will be labeled "Van/Dracula" or something along those lines… so just avoid it if you don't want to read it, other than that I hope you enjoy!
FlyingFerret- Many people are for Carl finding out, that's good, makes the story more interesting. Twa hahahahaaaa!
Liana-Elfgirl- I understand that slash isn't for everyone, but I believe that I put a warning in the summary, I would advise you to read it before starting a story lest this happens again.
Ok I think I got everyone. Hmm, this chapter is a background thing about Gabriel (Van) and Dracula, a slight hint of slash, nothing much really, just a history between the two. More in depth than what I did earlier.
I saw you standing alone
With a sad look on your face
You call him on the phone
Looks like he left you
without a face
Tears falling out of your eyes
He's living in a disguise
You've been feeling bad for so long
You wonder if its right or wrong
Now how many days have gone by
And you still just sit there cry
You're feeling bad for yourself
His memory will always dwell
You're so obsessed with his love
Thats why push came to shove
You've been feeling bad for so long
You wonder if it's right or wrong

Sorry I had to put this here, I love this song. Puzzah!
I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know were it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone
Perfect. You where always perfect weren't you? Never wrong. No, never wrong, we couldn't have a man of God being wrong. You killed me, and never repented it… as far as I can tell.
I walk this empty street
On the boulevard of broken dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone
I walked on and on, seeing nothing but dead cities and people damned for not believing. You left me with a whole; I've been trying to fill it. Haven't been very successful… You see you have killed everyone that was close to me. I should hate you for it, don't get me wrong I do. I have spent many a sleepless day plotting exactly how I would kill you, but it never happened did it?
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I walk alone
No, I let you live, and I know why. You're my friend; we were once as close as brothers… if not more, I could never kill you… Oh how I loathe my weakness, my emotions rule me, as much as I would like to keep them at bay.
I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line of the edge
And where I walk alone
Ever been swimming? I reason you have… Swimming in the ocean can be dangerous… Waves can drag you out to sea… Washing over you, pulling you under and not letting you break through the surface… I feel much like that now…. Now sure of where I am going or if I am even moving forward, or am I stuck on repeat?
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I walk alone
Musing like this never got anyone anywhere… But still I wonder… would life have been different if you had not put that knife through me? If I had not been so foolish as to believe that the church was there to help.
I walk this empty street

Dracula sighed as he stood up from the rock he had been sitting on. He had walked quite a bit and eventually found a small stream on the outskirts of the town.
He paused for one last look at the swirling water then turned and headed back towards town.

End
Oh ya, I forgot to put this in the beginning. The song is not mine, I am sure some of you recognize it, Blvd. Of Broken Dreams by Green Day, obviously not mine, and Van Helsing is not mine. I'm sorry that this chapter is a bit cliché but I had to… I couldn't resist the temptation! Forgive me!
Dracula: You're trying to avoid writing an actual chapter.
True…. I am having a bit of a writer's block… Christmas might help.
Dracula: Right.
Anyway please review! I am doing a Christmas chapter next! If you want anything specific to happen tell me!
