Holloah people! I am sorry that I have been gone so long, spring break in Florida and I was lacking internet connection. Well here are the replies to the reviews and on with the story.

Don't own Van Helsing (Dracula does), Dracula, Napoleon etc.

Kokoro Okami- It's ok, my Grandma went in piece and in her own way (defying the bloody doctors to the very end cheers for Grandma) Anyway, on the happier things.

No Carl didn't find them in the morning… they had made their way back up to the room, how exactly I will leave to your imagination. Though I think Carl has a feeling that they where up to something.

Bob- addicting song ne?

Daisy Wenham Rocks- Heheh, songs are fun, especially when people are high or drunk.

Go Carl, il est tres spiffy.

MusikVibe- Thank you, I am glad that it is getting better. Don't worry I will keep writing.

Dracula: If she doesn't she will wake up dead.

Right…

Napoleon: With needles in her eyes.

Dracula: Nice touch.

Napoleon: Thank you.

Oh my…

Catalina Tavington- Libraries are good. Don't worry I brake my parent's rules all the time, I just erase the history when I am done with my yaoi or slash binge. Though I don't know if you can do that… sigh….

That's ok, as long as you eventually read the stuff it's all good.

UnlovedDarkness- I used to have 69 reviews but then FF net took my story down for reasons unknown (probably under wrong rating… stupid overprotective people) but ya... glad you like it. I will send you the address, and I will check my bio at the same time… if that's possible.

Napoleon: Dun dummm dun dun! Mission Impossible.

Dracula: That they somehow always complete.

True… I'll take a look at your stories some time… when I have time.

Cleonsoren713- My computer has been hating me recently as well. Keeps shutting the windows program while I am typing my fanfics. Glad you liked it so far, keep reading!

Dracula: Hmmmm, very nice indeed.

Van: Have you been cheating on me?

Dracula: No.

Van: (Glares at Dracula) Then what was THAT!

Dracula: What was what?

Van: That kiss! I saw it!

Dracula:… uh… Fan mail… kinda….

Van: (Glares and Stalks off)

Dracula: Oy! I'm sorry Gabriel, really I am!

Ok… they need Jerry Springer… and we can shove Anna and Carl into it as well… ooh Velkan Springer. Ha!

We, of the Van/Drac brotherhood, will never stop reading the slash. It's too good.

Gotta Love Inspirational Speakers
The crowd was enormous. People had arrived from all over, Van even recognized people from Fredrikstan (though they kept shooting murderous glances in his direction so he generally avoided them) They had all crowded around a small square, children where lifted up on shoulders and people shoved around each other to try and get a better spot.

"Hvordan lang er denne å draing ta?" A man muttered as he shifted his weight from foot to foot. Van blinked, not comprehending a word of what the man just said, luckily the question was not directed to him but to the man in front of him.

"Jeg vet ikke, kanskje en time, kanskje to." The man in front replied without turning around. A small scowl formed on Van's lips. The voice sounded familiar. He tried to edge his was through the crowd to get a better look without being conspicuous. The man turned and stared at him, a small smirk on his lips.

Crap! Van thought as he turned and raced through the crowd, trying to find a way out. This can't be happening, he can't be here. He finally made his way through the sea of people, once out he managed to find Dracula who was about to go up and speak.

"Dracula, wait!" Van called as he reached over to grab the counts shoulder.

"What is it Gabriel? … You look like a piece of shit." Van scowled at the dry commentary but ignored it.

"Andor is in the crowd, I just saw him." The vampire shrugged and continued on his way.

"Aren't you the least bit worried?" Van asked as he followed the impossible man.

"No Gabriel I am not, he can't do anything to harm, but you on the other hand, he can. I want you to stay here and not show yourself ok? It wouldn't do my plan good if you suddenly died… Plus you would go to heaven therefore have no chance of meeting Lucifer and asking for a deal." Dracula then turned and walked onto the bandstand.

Once there he located the man that was translating for him a nodded.

"Hello good people of Oslo!" He cried out, the people cheered. "I have heard that you have been having problems of late and I am here to help you." Another cheer went up. Well, at least they are enthusiastic to the idea of help. Dracula thought as he prepared to make his offer.

"My friends and I will help you! But we need your cooperation, if you are willing to join a temporary… army of sorts, step forward." No one did at first, finally a man in front did. Soon others followed him; eventually the whole circle in front of the bandstand was filled with men willing to help. A smile curved on Dracula's lips.

"Good. These creatures have wreaked havoc on your lands! Terrorized your wives and children, are you going to just stand there and do nothing!" A cheer went through the crowd accompanied by fist shaking.

"NO! You are going to fight; you are going to show that you can defeat them, that you can defend your home. Show the world what you can do! Let this upcoming battle go down in history as one full of bravery and good deeds! Get your land back, your lives!" A pause to let the words sink in, this time no one said a thing. The translator turned to Dracula, waiting.

"In the name of God, go forth and protect your home." The people stood there, not moving then suddenly they broke into mad cheering, children danced and hopped around, and people chattered excitedly together.

"Well, that was easier than I expected." Dracula muttered as he joined Van on the ground.

"Brilliant! I now see why the people of Romania would follow you to their deaths." Van said as they entered the inn.

"Not to their deaths Gabriel, but to their glory. Remember, we look on the bright side of death." Van smiled and shook his head, still not used to the bright side of death gig.

"Shall we celebrate Gabriel? Or should that wait till after the battle? Maybe when we are in a more… private environment, hmm?" Dracula whispered as he slid his arms around Van's waist, pulling him close to his body. "Maybe when we are back on the mainland? When we have a real bed… not some closet." He chuckled softly and laid his head on Van's chest.

"What's with the noise outside?" Van asked after a moment. Dracula shrugged and continued to stand in sleepy stupor.

"I think they are celebrating." Dracula whispered after a pause, pushing himself back.

Van walked over to the window and peered out, indeed it did look like people were celebrating. Food was everywhere and people where dancing in the streets. The mass of the population seemed to be in a sort of euphoric joy. Though some people stood on the sides, looking around uneasily, keeping a tight grip on their weapons.

"Would the Valkyrie use and opportunity like this to attack?" Van asked as he headed for the door.

"I don't about them but I would… and I think our train of thought is rather similar." Dracula said as he too walked out.

They emerged on the streets to find even more people out. Music had struck up and a place had been cleared for dancing.

Dracula scowled and scanned the crowd, unsure of what to do.

"Say something!" Van said, a worried look over his face.

"I can't, I don't want to earn their hate… Where's Carl?" Dracula's eyes went wide as he realized that he hadn't seen the Friar since early morning.

Van shrugged and cast another anxious look over the crowd. "He followed us out then disappeared." Van bit his lip and shook his head, trying to remember if Carl had said anything before he vanished.

"I'll check the library." Dracula said as he took off in the direction, leaving Van standing on the street wondering what to do.

TBC
Ok hope you all enjoyed.

Napoleon: Took you a while to get that up.

Well FF net wasn't helping.

Napoleon: …True.

Anyway, I will have the next installment up eventually. Review!
