Van Helsing (Cont.)

Smart, my child, Lestat murmured to Beatrice. Do not expect too much, though... I'm not much of a fatherly figure, trust me...

 

"We should get back to them before they blow each other's heads off." Hannah murmured.

Beatrice squeeked and then quickly covered her mouth, hoping Edward and Van Helsing hadn't heard.

 

"Maybe it would get it out of their systems?" Jinx suggested, smiling a little more normally. "But you're right, poor Beatrice shouldn't be there with those lunitics alone."

Carl shrugged at Edward. "I can always tell you later." he looked over at Beatrice, having heard her squeak. "Are you okay?"

 

"Everything okay?" Van Helsing asked, looking at Beatrice.

 

Edward stepped quietly out of the room, seeing Jinx and Hannah in the hall. "Are you two okay?" he asked.

 

Lestat laughed to himself, shutting his eyes flying comfortably up into the nearest tree.

 

"We're fine." Hannah smiled. "Though you and Van Helsing have some explaining to do."

Beatrice nodded. "Um, Van Helsing... am I... Am I a hindrince to this group? Honestly."

 

"Yep, hopefully without yelling too much." Jinx added with a smile before going back into the other room to leave Hannah and Edward to themselves.

 

"Honestly," Van Helsing said, trying to smile still. "I think you're here for a reason, just like everyone else here... you will be useful, I' sure... even if, so far... it's been hard..." He faded off, unsure what to say or how to finish.

 

"You're definetly not a hindrence." Carl followed up quickly. "You've been a lot of help."

 

"Ask whatever you like," Edward said, opening his arms as if to gesture he would answer honestly. "I don't mind."

 

Hannah kept her arms folded. "What the hell was Van Helsing doing with a gun pointed at you?"

Beatrice looked at Carl. "How?" She asked plainly.

 

"I made him angry," Edward shrugged. "I didn't mean to, though. It's the full moon bothering me without even being here yet... I tried to stay calm, but he, of course, had to pull a gun as soon as I offended him in the least bit."

 

OOC: im so frikkin yummy... eat me!!!

 

OOC: and i g2g for tonight. cya guys tomorrow! *huggles*

OOC: Carl kept his face calm. "Well for one you've proven something that neither Van Helsing or me has ever seen by being competetly controlled for a newborn. I know you don't think that's very important, but actully that helps tremendously since that adds another side of the story to the information we have about vampires. Plus you've been taking care of the horses and being actully sane around here unlike the rest of us." he answered, "Just because you haven't had to fight doesn't mean you're not helping."

Jinx surpressed a smile. How sweet. she thought, looking between Beatrice and Carl.

 

Hannah eyed Edward, and sighed. "Okay," She unfolded her arms.

Beatrice smiled, probably being more dazzling than she meant to be. "Thanks, Carl."

 

Van Helsing shrugged, not wanting to say anything to ruin Carl's little speach.

 

"Are you alright?" Edward. "I didn't mean to leave you in the carriage like that, but I had to speak with... with Lestat about something."

 

I'm sure you'll be useful, my dear, Lestat chuckled to Beatrice, unable to stop himself from laughing. Just wait till you learn what you can do with my blood in your veins...

 

Beatrice looked at Van Helsing. "How... How much do you actually know about vampires?" She tried to keep her voice steady, not used to hearing someone's voice without seeing them.

"If I didn't wake up screaming, then I'm fine." Hannah muttered. "Besides, I'm getting used to it." She tried not to think of Lestat, knowing it would only make her angrier.
