"Bye," Edward said to himself as he watched Hannah walk away. He turned toward the Inn himself a moment later and walked into the downstairs bar. The inn keeper came up to him and told him that "his companion" was in room 101. Edward knocked on the door when he got there. Van Helsing opened it a second later, and Edward jumped back when he saw the gun in his face. "It's me!" he gasped, and the other man lowered the gun. "Come inside, then," Van Helsing said with a small smile. The room was tiny and similar to what he had seen of Jinx's earlier. He looked around and sat on the bed on the right wall, as Van Helsing sat on the left one. "So," Van Helsing began, "what did you two talk about?"
Edward put a finger under her chin, making her look into his eyes. "That's ridiculous thinking, miss," he said seriously. "We will find Dracula. Don't you want to stop him from making more people hurt like we do and kill innocents?"
Edward held her tighter, hardly believing this was the same girl that was shouting at him minutes ago. "No one will blame you for it... except Van Helsing. But he never needs to know, okay?" He tried his best to reassure her.
"I don't mean to compare with you," Edward began. "But I guess I have had a harder time... I shouldn't keep you from your walk, though. Sorry."
"Since I was a year old," Edward explained. "Dracula's werewolf came and turned my entire family... now they are working for him and I have been hiding my whole life. Then Van Helsing himself comes along and I persuaded him to take me with him to find the b.astard that ruined my life."
OOC: i totally just did it again and caught myself! haha BIC: Edward sighed, relieved that she looked calmer. "I know... every other werewolf I've known as well as tried to kill me because I've never hurt another. It's so hard, when the moon is full-- but nevermind that. We are a little similar, and now we've both got to deal with Van Helsing, the man that should have killed us. But he doesn't know about you yet! And I won't say a word."
Edward got up suddenly and followed Elizabeth outside. He caught her arm in the street and held her still when she cringed back. "You know what I am," he whispered in her face, ignoring the few people wandering by around them. "But I know what you've done as well, so don't try to treat me like scum, understand? I don't mean to be rude, but I am a person as well as you would like to be considered."
"Sounds like a good idea," Edward yawned, looking uneasily as Elizabeth. She's really got to stop staring...
Why is she giving me that funny look? Edward asked himself. Does she think there's something wrong with--- God! How the h.ell could she know? It's fine: I have a better secret of her own...
"Why wouldn't I--?" OOC: this one should have gone before the VH post lol ooops
"I'm right here," Edward said, and Van Helsing looked at him. "As far as the 'human' factor was going..."
"I..." Edward started after Van Helsing had spoken. "I don't really know a thing about you yet.... sorry."
"Are... are you asking me or him?" Edward inquired nervously.
"You should let her be," Edward said suddenly. "This town just lost a person, Mr. Van Helsing. We should leave her alone."
Oh, no, Edward thought, trying not to show any emotion on his face. She did it. She killed that poor man... I don't know how, but I know it for sure."
She is one, too, Edward thought. I know it.
Edward drank his ale and tried not to stare at Elizabeth. I'm good with reading eyes, he thought. But I can't see why her face looks a little guilty... ^ ^ ^ smexy edward norton woohoo!!
OOC: *GASP* you dont think that edward-poo is sexy??? grrr... lol BIC: Edward sat at the counter and ordered an ale. He decided to stay quiet for a little and let Van Helsing and Elizabeth talk. She doesn't seem to like me, he thought.
OOC: i think edward is smexy:
Edward stood where he was, holding Lexi's reigns as Van Helsing ran away from her. "Easy, girl," he said, watching the two talk. "Let's see if they'll decide to get along... then we can get some food." ^ ^ ^ pics of Edward... :)
