Anna's lifeless eyes bore deep into the heart of Gabriel Van Helsing, holding her tightly he screamed in his fury at himself, dracula, and the world for taking this rare beauty away from him. He layed her gently back down on the chais lounge and ran a finger lightly over her jaw as the first of many tears ran a river down his face. Suddenly a sharp intake of breath roused his attention, looking up he noticed that Anna's once frozen eyes blinked and her chest moved up and down ever so slightly. She was alive!
"Carl, she's not dead! She's alive, she's alive!" Gabriel grabbed Anna's hand and grinned, his tears unleashing in a torrent stream of joy.
"Haha! Indeed she is!" Carl clapped his hands together smiling from ear to ear.
Anna's breathing became stronger, but still uneven, and she looked at Gabriel with a questioning look.
"I was dead, but now I am alive?" she rasped out on her whispery breath. Gabriel nodded then wrapped her up in a strong embrace. Anna ran her index finger down one of his muscular arms, the warmth and strength comforting her like a mother's lullaby sung long ago.
"Home?" Gabriel asked, though he already knew the answer.
"Stupid question" muttered Anna, a smirk gracing her lithe mouth.
Van Helsing hauled her up off the chais lounge, securing his coat around her. Anna greatly welcomed the warmth, the coldness of brushing death's doorstep soon left her bones, but surely not her mind.
