"Good," Van Helsing said, almost sounding incere. "Just wait till the full moon, lovie: see how well opening up works then."
"Alright, you don't want to talk about it," Van Hesling sighed. "Well, you know he's a werewolf, so there you go. No secrets between you two, huh?"
"Well," Van Helsing began. "I found him, brought him here with me, and yet you sem to be the one who has talked most with him. I'm merely curious about what you've learned about my new companion."
"I don't think so," he said, keeping his eyes on the road in front of them. "Maybe later. Tell me more about Edward."
"I'm not telling you," he muttered with a smile. "It might creep you out."
"Brilliant," Van Helsing said sarcastically. "At least I have a plan."
"what do you plan to do when you see Dracula?" Van Helsing asked when she was silent.
"If that's what she deserves for killing an innocent man, then yes," he replied.
"Proof?" Van Helsing repeated. "All I need to do is talk to her... she'll give me some evidence of whether she did it or not. I'm not worried about it... I mean, I really hope she didn't do it because I don't want to kill her. We need information she may have."
"Fair enough..." he replied with a small huff of a laugh. "Do you have any idea where Jiinx may be? I'd like to find her; I still think she killed that Henry fellow."
"So," Van Helsing asked as they were riding. "Why didn't you tell me when I first met you that you were a vampire... I could tell Edward knew something I didn't, but then he likes you, so that's different. Didn't think you could trust me, right?"
"We'll have plenty to talk about now on the ride, won't we?" Van Helsing asked her quietly, turning Lexi to face Sorin. "Ready?"
"I don't think so," Van Helsing said, his hand still extended. "We don't have enough time. Let's go!"
"Which direction?" Van Helsing asked, almost to himself. "We don't have a clue where to go... unless you tell us where you saw Dracula last."
"Hey!" Van Helsing cried from their left. "I found a horse!"
"God, this is ridiculous!" Edward began angrily, and then stopped himself. Calm down, he thought, taking a breath. Control yourself... "Alright,let's look," he said aloud, ignoring Hannah's look.
"Of course not!" Van Helsing insisted, patting Lexi's neck. "I'd die for Lexi."
"Well, let's all follow Edward!" Van Helsing smirked. I didn't think the boy had it in him, he thought. Looks like it just took a cute, mentally injured girl to make him a leader...
"Good God, she's useless!" Van Helsing muttered.
"What use is she?" Van Helsing asked. "She's been no help at all so far."
