Train to Transylvania

The next day, the ferry leaves the docks.

We are headed for the place Dracula II is waiting for us. In my previous life, I had no clue where Transylvania was a map. The following day, we arrive in Paris, and take the Orient Express.

According to Van Helsing, we will travel through Munich, Austria and Hungary. We get off the train in Budapest and catch another train to Transylvania, but the second train won't take us all the way there as the mountains are too remote for rail, so we will get a carriage to take us the rest of the way there.

At least four whole day's journey away.

In the end, we all decided that we would travel the together.

Van Helsing had no objections to our request to accompany her. Van Helsing and Dracula II... Do they mean to continue fighting until one of them falls? One, having lost her family, and the other having taken it away. Even if this is the path they've chosen for themselves, all I can think about is whether there is a way to avoid Van Helsing's ****...

And the **** of Dracula II.

"The weather doesn't look very good. It appears we might be in for some rain." Doreen says.

I look outside the window. Ominous grey clouds cover the sky. It feels like a foreshadowing of the events to come, and I avert my eyes from them.

From that point, until we arrive, no one says much, and we spend our time either looking out the window or reading.

The girl's father died during the Vampire War. She says Van Helsing killed him.

"Is something wrong?" Van Helsing asks.

Without realising it, I had been staring at Van Helsing. "Oh, yes. It seems like you haven't slept much, so I was wondering if you're all right."

"I see. I'm fine. You should follow the example of the others and get some rest." With those few words, the conversation comes to an end.

I wonder what she's thinking right now.
