*But Brandi couldn't be sure he was really after her. Not yet. She wanted to stay calm and logical about this. Because, to be honest, she had been working on that whole 'not going in with guns blazing' thing. She tilted her head in thought.*
"He addressed me by name?" *She asked, trying to see more of the puzzle. He couldn't know that she was his sueauthor, could he?*

Raziel opened his mouth to answer, then closed it again. In his haste to come zooming down to the inn, he'd forgotten that one little detail.
"Well...no." He said uncomfortably. "But he kept talking about 'her', and you're the only 'her' I know much of anything about."
Or, to be more precise, the only woman that meant so much to him. Not that he was going to say that with Cry Baby there.

*Brandi seemed a little relieved by that. She nodded.*
"Ok. So...there's a girl that's important. But he didn't tell you anything else about her? Like why she was important or any sort of details about her?"
*Maybe it wasn't her. Maybe they didn't have to worry about anything. Well, aside from the normal stuff.*

"No. But he acted like he knew exactly who I was worried about. Saying he'd find you, no matter what I did."

Cry-Baby bristled.
"Well why the hell you raisin' the alarm, if we don't even know this is about Brandi?"

*Brandi placed her other hand over Cry-Baby's, as if to soothe him. She knew that Raziel wouldn't make a fuss for no reason. If he was concerned, there was probably good cause. She just didn't want to assume.*
"Did he tell you anything else? Even something small might be a clue. And not necessarily about her...about what he knew about you or..."

He shot a glance at Cry Baby. Not a glare, no, but still...not friendly.
"There's still the possibility that it IS Brandi. I'd rather be wrong and have you on guard than right and have you all caught by surprise."
He heaved a sigh.
"There's not much else, aside from the name he keeps calling me. But Gabriel is a completely different angel. And I'm pretty sure he doesn't know Dracula."

*Brandi winced slightly, rolling her eyes beneath their lids. Boys... She tried to refocus them.*
"Ok...well what else do we know about him? I mean, obviously a vampire. From Transylvania, and got a fixation on you. Anything else? What sort of interests does he have in Paris, aside from blood, I'd imagine?"

"He knows about..."
He glanced at Cry Baby, then thought, the hell with it.
"He knows about these strange dreams I've been having. And he called me Van Helsing the first time I ran into him."

But you don't look anything like Anthony Hopkins.
*Brandi forced the thought away, replacing it with a more sensible one. But the problem was, that movie never explained it either. Well crap.*
"What sort of dreams?" *She asked, content to let the other piece lie for the moment.*

"This is going to sound weird, but...fights. Gladiator fights in ancient Rome."

Not all that weird, actually.
*Brandi's lips tightened.*
"And do you remember him being in any of your dreams?"

He made a face.
"Ugh...no. Just me. Me and the dust and the chanting crowds."

*Brandi pursed her lips, almost hesitant to ask.*
"Then...I wasn't in them either? Or any woman of importance?"
*So far, the dreams didn't seem to link, except for the fact that Dracula knew about them somehow. It was perplexing.*

"No. Only these strange visions of things I'm pretty sure I've never done."
It was weird, though. If Brandi was the 'she' that Dracula had kept talking about, then wouldn't she also have had some odd past life or something like that? It didn't make sense.
