Van Helsing had to tear his eyes from Beatrice and look around the trees, his gun close to his eye, aiming to shoot at anything he could see... but nothing could be found but steady, solid shadows, and soft chuckles that sent shivers up his spine.
Van Helsing sighed, but didn't move his gun. "I'll call Hannah, shall I?" he asked again, unsure what to do. His instincts said shoot her, end her pain and the pain she would call others. Hannah and Jinx might have control, yes, but a new one like her? Carl would be the first to go...
"Calm," Van Helsing repeated, though he cocked back the hammer of his gun. "Do you want to tell me what happened... or should I call Jinx and Hannah?"
Van Helsing stood, his gun aimed, wondering why the h.ell he didn't bring his bow with him. The vampire was too fast for him, just the handsome yet sickening sight of him enough to stun even his quick reflexes. "Beatrice!" he exclaimed, running over to the girl, kneeling next to her as she sat up. "My God what...?" But he faded off, seeing the marks on either side of her neck and around her lips. He scrambled back to his feet. "Calm," he found himself whispering as he aimed the gun once more. "You're full aren't you, Beatrice? Tell me you are... stay calm."
"Quietly, then!" Van Helsing hissed, running away from Hannah towards Beatrice. "Stop shouting, for God's sake!"
Van Helsing pulled out his gun. "Don't go running, either of you," he said quickly to Hannah and Lexi, who was the nearest horse. "Just think a moment... I don't need panic..."
"Right," Van Helsing said shortly.
"I apologize," Van Helsing lied. "Why is Edward so tired, then? He usually doesn't sleep," he asked, changing the subject.
Van Helsing controlled himself from rolling his eyes. "I see," he said shortly.
"Did he tell you about it?" Van Helsing asked quickly.
"What he did yesterday afternoon off on his own," Van Helsing explained. "I'm curious."
"She's mad at me," Van Helsing explained. "From the sword fight. I'll let her be."
Van Helsing sighed, exasperated. "Carl is no use to Beatrice," he snapped."
"Sounds good," Van Helsing smiled. He looked at Hannah. "Can you get Edward, then, since you can 't go with her? I'd like to talk to him."
Van Helsing jumped down to help Beatrice. "Do you think you can take all four on your own?"
OOC: oh, he is! lolzzz :fight:
OOC: edward??!!! *barfs all over the place* ewww!!!! BIC: Van Helsing nodded and then turned around. "You're doing wonderfully," he called down to Lexi, smiling.
OOC: think that lestat de lioncourt is the hottest vampire ever! BIC: "Whenever you'd like!" Van Helsing replied. "Or when the sun comes up! Whichever happens first!"
Van Helsing was silent, thinking about all Hannah had said.
"You really shouldn't be perched up here like that," Van Helsing cautioned. "It's dangerous... but thank you for telling me everything."
