Chapter One – When Reality Fades to Darkness
Fire crackled on top of the coach as an all too familiar howl was heard. Glowing yellow eyes indicated that the werewolf was still on the coach. Two forms that were clearly human exchanged looks. One of them was dressed in black; another was a woman with long curly hair that cut off around her shoulder. They all gave horrified screams as another came from a created man.
"Jump!" Van Helsing roared at Anna, but the Gypsy Princess only shook her head in disagreement. "You jump!" The Hunter gave a growl of frustration as he grabbed for her arm, dragging her as he saw through the corner of his eyes Carl and the Frankenstein monster jump out of the burning coach. A hideous roar reminded both of them they had company, and they jumped. But one of them was all too late as the werewolf jumped as well, claws and fangs extended as it sank into one being before crashed right into Van Helsing and Anna. The echoing sounds of bullets was heard as a final mournful cry of the wolf was heard, echoing through the forest before all went ... black.

"Anna...?" one soft pained voice echoed through the quiet forest as mist formed in the air, forcing Van Helsing to push it away with his bare hands, knowing he couldn't do so. There was a moan as he saw a familiar lump of brown lying on the ground, near the Frankenstein Monster, who also seemed to be rubbing his stitched head. Fear flickered in the Hunter's eyes as he limped faster, pushing aside leaves as he found whom he was searching for. He gasped in horror as he saw through the cloudy mist.
Anna lay on the ground, hugging her brother's dead form with sparkling tears in her eyes. Blood trailed down her forehead, lips and most significantly her shoulder, dripping down on Velkan's pale, lifeless body. Van Helsing moved in to help Anna, limping closer to her. Anna looked up at him with tears of sadness and anger.
"You killed him... You killed him!" Anna yelled as she suddenly got up onto her feet, too fast for Van Helsing to see. The Hunter gave out a shocked gasp again as she pushed the man hard into a tree behind him. Van Helsing winced horribly but he seemed to ignore the pain as he grabbed Anna's shoulder tightly, but not hard. Anna gave out a pained hiss, and screwed eyes shut.
"Anna..." Van Helsing repeated as he wrapped both his arms around the Gypsy Princess in a hug. The woman didn't even seem to care as she sobbed into Van Helsing's chest. She finally glanced back at the Hunter. "I-I... I've been bitten, Van Helsing..."
Van Helsing's face changed from being sympathetic to becoming devastated. "W-What..?"
"It's true... I feel it inside me already. Here, see..." Anna spoke as she pushed aside a little of her clothes so the Hunter could see the bite. Van Helsing's eyes widened, as tears fell freely from the Princess's eyes. Van Helsing opened his lips to say something, but he closed it, gripping Anna's hand tightly in a reassuring way.
Finally, Van Helsing spoke in a decisive manner, "Bite me, Anna."
Anna looked up with disbelieving eyes. "What!"
"You heard me. Bite me. You don't have to bear the curse. It was my assignment to have you unharmed, and I failed. If I can't find the cure for you, the least I can do is stay by your side..." Van Helsing spoke softly, and Anna looked awed by those words. But her personality prevented her from swallowing those words and doing as the Hunter bid. "No..."
"Why?" The Hunter looked almost desperate for this answer, but Anna didn't reply. She only looked sharply at the Hunter's eyes. "No, only one will stay cursed. No matter what you say, I will not let myself bite you intentionally. It is... wrong," Anna stopped for a moment before she smiled faintly at the Hunter, "Thank you, Mr. Van Helsing."
Van Helsing smiled weakly as well, but he still wore a look of disagreement on his face. He left Anna standing in the mists of the forest to think, but only to be hit hard by Aleera and knocked unconscious. He got one last look of Anna's misty form before everything went... black.

"No, VAN HELSING!" Anna yelled as he saw Van Helsing's unconscious form rising off the ground and pulled away by the last surviving bride. She gave out a curse, chasing after her, as she heard the vampiress cackle, the laugh echoing loudly as the two flying forms disappeared. Footsteps were heard behind her as Anna turned around. It was Frankenstein and Carl.
"We have to get him back," Anna spoke softly as she turned away from the edge of the cliff. Carl nodded immediately and although Frankenstein did not respond, he had a look that would have suggested he secretly wanted the Hunter to be saved too.

"Oh Gabriel... Gabriel..."
Van Helsing's eyes slowly opened to find himself face to face with Dracula, who smiled cunningly. Van Helsing immediately protested when he found he was in the grasp of the vampire, and that he was dancing inside the man's hands. He looked at the Count with disgust as Dracula chuckled. A beautiful, almost enchanting music flowed through the Palace, making the Hunter drowsy as Dracula removed the mask on Van Helsing's face. The Count received a deadly glare from the Hunter, and the vampire grimaced slightly.
"How does it feel to be a puppet under my string, my friend?" Dracula growled as the two men danced like they were floating on clouds. Van Helsing only gave him a warning glare. The dancing was making the Hunter sick, and whatever the Count was planning was certainly not good.
"I won't let you have her, nor the monster," Van Helsing spat at Dracula, who laughed deeply. He twirled the Hunter around once before pulling the Hunter forcefully back to him, both their faces facing each other. They were all so close; their noses were almost touching. Dracula smiled sinisterly as he replied, "We shall see, friend. I see they have already come to visit my Masquerade Ball..."
Hearing this, Van Helsing was barely able to move his head, controlled by Dracula, to see Anna come out of the doors of the Palace with Carl beside her. Worry flickered into his eyes as he watched the two vanished inside the Palace. Dracula willed Van Helsing to face him again, and now wore an observant look.
"You love her, don't you, Gabriel..." Dracula slurred his words and Van Helsing didn't answer at hearing this statement. He only continued to struggle in Dracula's spell, blinking a few times to try to wake himself up.
"Why do you care if I love the Princess, Dracula?" Van Helsing countered finally, and Dracula's lips twitched with amusement. "It means a whole lot, my friend..." The Count twirled the Hunter again, so Dracula was near Van Helsing's neck. His neck was bare and Dracula had to resist the urge to bite as Van Helsing felt the vampire's breath, giving him shudders.
"Would you like for me to bite you, Gabriel? Finish you off? Or would you like to live forever, but become my slave for eternity? Now which would you like?" Dracula sneered tauntingly with a growing smile as he was spun and dipped low. Van Helsing could only gasp as he felt lips on him. The Hunter's eyes immediately widened and he squirmed furiously in his mind, but nothing broke the spell and released from those lips. When the Count finally let go, withdrawing his lips from a sweet, luring kiss, Van Helsing could only stare back in disbelief. Dracula smiled with allurement as he brushed his hand down on the Hunter's eyes. Van Helsing's body immediately sagged and his head tilted unconsciously towards the ground, as if he had not awoken ever before...

"Carl, come on, we need to find them!" Anna shouted as she scanned the area for any signs of Van Helsing. And she did find, Carl doing the same as both their eyes widened. It was really an odd scene to make of, because not much of these scenarios were seen. Both of them saw Van Helsing in Dracula's arms, The Count leaning in for a little kiss on his lips. As if the Count had noticed, he looked straight at their direction, with a evil grin as Van Helsing's body sagged unconsciously in his arms.
"Oh god... What is he doing to him...?" Anna spoke as Carl nodded in agreement. But their gazes were quickly averted when they found themselves staring at a crowd of fanged immortals. Dracula smiled courteously at them, still holding Van Helsing in his arms as his eyes glowed.
"Welcome to my Summer Palace..."
Anna and Carl immediately looked at each other, exchanging looks of grave danger as they both nodded. They ran as hell away from the balcony of the Cathedral, pushing aside doors. Screeches were heard as they saw the Vampires after them.
"I think I know what this is for, Anna!" Carl shouted suddenly out of the blue as he took his golden invention out and placed it quickly on the ground. Anna gave him an odd look as they braced themselves, diving through a ancient stained glass. Pieces of glass flew everywhere as the two fell two stories down the Palace. A sudden burst of light erupted from inside the Palace, exploding and killing all the vampires. Most of them, anyway.
