Tomas and Valencia walked the path that lead to the lake, well it was really more of a small pond, which ultimately lead to the town but they stopped and sat down and talked.
"So does your father always pull out all his weapons when a guy comes to see you?" Tomas asked and Valencia laughed.
"Actually, a guy's never come to see me before." Valencia said being completly honest. She didn't think that any guys were really interested in her because of who her father was but she had a feeling that Tomas didn't know who her father was or what his reputation was. But why wouldn't he know that? Everyone in Europe knew who Van Helsing was.
"Really?" Tomas asked surprised, "Why wouldn't a guy be interested in you?"
"I don't know. Perhaps its because of who my father is."
"And who exactly is your father?"
"You mean you don't know?" Valencia asked and when Tomas shook his head Valencia was kinda torn between telling tomas what her father did for a living and not telling him but in the end, she spoke up. "He's the most wanted man in Europe for killing monsters that need to be vanquihed."
"So he's a murderer?"
"Some see it that way but other's think he's a holy man cause he's cleansing the earth of the evil but none the less I was kind of surprised to when I saw you at my house."
"You mean castle."
"Well it is what it is." Valencia said as she looked around at the scenery.
Van Helsing, the fishman, and Carl were off a good ways from Tomas and Valencia but close enough to see and hear what was going on.
"Van Helsing, what if she sees us, or sences us or something."
"She won't Carl."
"What makes you so sure?"
"Look at the way she's looking at him." The fishman siad, "She doesn't know what's going on other than him."
"She's letting her guard down." Van Helsing said, "That's something I've told her to never do!"
"Van Helsing, I'm sure she'll be fine."
Suddenly, Van helsign got a vib from Tomas that he didn't like. It was a vib of pure evil and no matter what Carl said nothing would keep Van Helsing from protecting his daughter.
"I could spy on them from the water." The fish man said, "I could get a lot closer than we are now."
"What did you say your name was?" Carl asked.
"William."
"Okay Will." Van Helsing said, "Do it."
"As you wish." William said as he dove into the water and began to spy on Valencia.
"So why do you think no one has ever called on you before?" Tomas asked Valencia.
"I dunno. Maybe its because my father is the most wanted man in Europe." Valencia replied and then for a moment she thought she heard a spash and had the feeling of being followed but thought nothing of it.
"what's wrong?"
"Nothing. I just thought……"
"Thought what?"
"Its nothing really." Valencia siad as she began to take her trench coat off but it got stuck and she couldn't get it off.
"Here let me help you." Tomas said as he aided Valencia and placed the jacket behind him and then he made a move by simply placing his arm around Valencia's shoulders. At first Valencia wasn't too sure about what Tomas was doing but she soon found that she kinda liked his arm around her shoulders. A guy had never come on to her at all and so she wasn't enterly sure what to expect to begin with but her thoughts were interuprted when he pulled her face towards him and he kissed her. Taken aback, Valencia didn't know what to do other than kiss Tomas back but the kiss was short lived when he ran his fingers down Valencia's neck to the top of her breasts and on to her corset.
"What are you doing?" She asked tying to pull back from him but couldn't for her back was to a tree.
"Getting a taste of what my Bride wants!" Tomas said as he showed his fangs as her laid Valencia on her back regardless of Valencia trying to get out from underneath him but he was stronger than she was and just as she thought this was the end, someone bashed him upside the head. Tomas grabbed his head and turned around and saw Van Helsing and Carl, who held a stick. He was the one who had hit him in the head.
"Thought you might be following us!" Tomas said still showing his fangs as he grabbed Valencia who had a look of fear on her face.
"Put her down or this bullet goes in your head!" Van Helsing said cocking the gun.
"Ha!" Tomas laughed, "You fire and she's dead!"
"Dad!" Valencia said as Tomas's fangs came dangerously close to her neck. She knew she shouldn't have let her gaurd down and now she felt so stupid for doing so but there wasn't much she could do about that now .
"Van Helsing, do something!" Carl yelled but before he could do anything, William came out of the water and stabbed Tomas in the back with a sharp branch. He let go of Valencia, who fell to the ground, which is when Carl grabbed her and pulled her behind Van Helsing as William walked over an stood by Gabriel.
"Nice try!" Tomas said as he pulled the branch from his body.
"Why isn't he dead?" William asked Van Helsing, which told Van Helsing that his new friend knew nothing of vampiers.
"Because you can only kill a Vampire with a silver stake or a crucifix or holy water."
"You got any of those?"
Van Helsing pulled out a silver stake and his pistol, and began to face Tomas. The battle wasn't quick but it wasn't too long for Tomas threw Van Helsing into the lake and then did the same to William, grabbed Valencia and took off.
"Better luck next time Van Helsing!" Tomas said as he flew away with Valencia yelling for her father.
Van Helsing got out of the pond with William right behind him and went to the land standing next to Carl.
"What are we going to do?" Carl asked and as soon as he had asked it, he knew it was a stupid question.
"What the hell do you think we're going to do Carl? We're going after Valencia!" Van Helsing said but suddenly he heard something coming towards them and he pulled out his pistols once more and siad, "Who ever is there, show yourself unless you wish to die!"
There was movement in the forest as a voice said, "You would kill an old friend?"
The voice was familiar but at first Van Helsing couldn't place it but Carl knew exactly who it was and it was only confermed when the man, creature really, stepped out of the brush and into the light.
"Frankenstine's monster." Van Helsing said as he lowered his pistols and put them away for Frankenstine's monster was right. Van Helsing would not kill a friend, "What are you doing here?"
"I could ask you the same thing Van Helsing." Frankenstien's monster said not giving a straight answer until Van Helsing did so first.
"My daughter, Valencia, has been taken by a vampire. I need to find her before anything happens to her."
"Interesting."
"Why do you say that?" Carl asked. It has been a while since either Carl or Van helsing had seen Frankenstien's monster but Carl still didn't like standing next to the big creater hence why he had moved behind Van Helsing.
"I say that Carl, because, there is activity at my father's castle." Frankenstien's monster said.
"Really?" Van Helsing asked.
"Why is this of any importance?" Will asked. He felt so lost listening to everyone because he had no idea what was going on.
"Because there hasn't been anyone there since Dracula used it." Frankensitne's Monster replied.
"Do you think the vampire could have taken Valencia there?" Will asked Van Helsing, who simply nodded and said, "Its worth a shot." Van Helsing said and he prayed that his Valencia would be all right until he could get to her.
