Gabriel Van Helsing looked at Anna's unmoving body. Her eyes wide open in shock. He started transforming back into himself and picked her up starting to tear up. "Anna?" He asked sadly.

Anna suddenly blinked and looked at him. "Van Helsing?" She asked in a whisper.

Gabriel felt relief and hugged her. "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to attack you."

Anna hugged him back then pulled away enough to look him in the eyes. "It's ok. You couldn't control it. But I'm alive and that's what matters. I think I might have some bruises, but that's ok. They'll go away in a couple of weeks. I don't blame you." She said then kissed him on the lips softly. "Thank you for saving my family."

He smiled and kissed her forehead. "You're very welcome. But now I must return to Rome." He said sadly.

The princess looked horrified. "NO! You CAN'T!"

Gabriel looked at her confused. "I have to. That's how it is."

She teared up starting to cry. "But I LOVE YOU! You're all I have now." She said crying into his chest.

He held her to him rubbing her back. "I love you too, Anna, but I don't have a choice."

"Yes you do. You CAN'T leave me. PLEASE?!"

The monster hunter sighed. "I WANT to stay. Believe me, but I can't."

Anna just cried and he picked her up as he followed Carl who was confused of what was going on back to the entrance to the manor.

Once back, Gabriel carried her to her room and layed her on the bed gently. She refused to let go of him and pulled him down with her. Carl went to the tower to clean up and look at something. Gabriel sat down and pulled her into his lap as she continued to cry. Anna hugged him like he might disappear and just sat there crying until it hurt. The hunter wrapped his arms around her waist trying to calm her down. She fell asleep on him and he tried pulling away from her grasp, but she subconsciously held him tighter and he layed down with her covering them up with her blankets. He blew out the candle and held her sleeping form against him. "I love you so much, My Gypsy Princess." He whispered to her.

The next morning at dawn, Gabriel awoke to find Anna awake watching him sleep. "Morning."

Anna kissed him. "Morning. Thank you for staying with me last night."

"I didn't have much of a choice. You refused to let go of me even subconsciously. So I either had to stay here or take you to the guest room I was staying in. So I figured staying here was the better choice."

Anna smiled at that then frowned. "I don't want you to go."

He sighed. "I know. I don't want to go either, but I have to because it's my job. As much as I want to stay, I can't."

The gypsy princess teared up again then looked at him as they started to fall. "Then at least promise me you'll return to me. I can't bare to lose you."

Gabriel wiped her tears and kissed her forehead. "I can't promise when, but I can promise that I will as soon as I can."

Anna smiled through her tears and hugged him. "I love you so much. Lets go meet Carl. He's probably waiting for you."

He nodded and got out of bed with her following. Carl was right where Anna said he was. Outside waiting for Gabriel with two ready horses. "Good morning, You Two." The friar greeted.

"Morning." They said in unison a bit sadly.

Carl looked at them and frowned. "Well, THAT wasn't very enthusiastic."

"Sorry, Carl." Anna apologized. "We're just not in the mood. But I thank you both for helping me to save my family and in defeating Dracula. I hope to see you again soon."

"Thank you for letting us stay in your family manor. Quite the host." Carl replied.

Anna half smiled then turned to her lover. "I love you. PLEASE return to me." She said.

Gabriel cupped her face and kissed her softly. "I love you too. And I promise. I'll try and write you. Ok?"

She nodded and hugged him tight tearing up. "I'll miss you." She whispered.

He hugged her back and kissed the top of her head. "I'll miss you too. I'll come back. I promise."

She pulled away and took her crucifix off putting it around his neck. "For memories."

He smiled and took HIS off and put it around HER neck. "Then you shall have mine."

She smiled through her teary eyes and clutched it to her as he got on his horse. The hunter and friar rode off. Anna watched their retreating backs and let her tears fall still clutching her lover's crucifix to her chest. Once out of sight, she let it just hang there and she put her hands to her face as she cried running back inside. She ran to the guest room Gabriel stayed in and found a shirt of his left behind on the floor. She picked it up and sniffed it taking in his wonderful scent. She flopped on the bed as the sheets also smelt of him and she sobbed clutching his shirt to her chest. "Why? Why must you do this to me?!" She screamed at God through her sobbing. "I've lost EVERYONE and now I've lost the only man I could ever love. What have I done to deserve this?"

A light suddenly appeared and a man floated in front of her. "Anna, My Dear Child."

Anna sat up with her tears still streaming down her face and looked at the man. "Who are you?"

"Why, I am God."

"If you are God, why did Van Helsing leave me? I need answers. I love him and he loves me. Why did he leave me?"

"Because it is his job. He only does as I ask of him. He is not the kind of man you think he is."

"Then what is he?"

"His first name is Gabriel. He is an arch angel from heaven sent here to earth to rid it of all the evil that lurks here. He is immortal. He will not age and he will be here until all evil is vanquished."

"Then let me help him. Make me immortal like him. I love him and I want a family with him. PLEASE? Bring him back to me."

God smiled at her request. "Alright. I will do as you ask. But you must go to Rome with him and join the order as he has. Only then can you be together and return to Transylvania."

Anna nodded. "I promise."

"Very well." He snapped his fingers and a light engulfed her. "You are now immortal for the rest of your days until the two of you rid the earth of all evil. When that is done, you both will become angels in heaven." And with that said, he disappeared.

Anna jumped out of bed and ran outside where she saw a ready horse. She smiled looking up in thanks and hopped on it urging it into a major gallop as fast as it could go. It ran and within thirty minutes, she saw the backs of her lover and friend. "GABRIEL!"

Gabriel heard his name being screamed from behind and looked back to see Anna riding up fast to catch up. "Anna?!"

"WAIT!" She yelled.

Gabriel stopped his horse to wait for her. She caught up to him a minute later and stopped getting off her horse. He got off of his and hugged her picking her up and spinning her around. "What are you doing here?" He asked putting her down.

"You'll never believe what happened to me after you left."

"What?"

"I saw God. I mean REALLY saw him. He visited me."

"What?!"

She nodded. "He told me everything."

"What did he say?"

"He said you were immortal. An arch angel from heaven sent here to earth to rid it of all the evil that lurks here. Then he said that you won't age until it's done. So I asked him to let me help you and to make me immortal like you. He did and he said the only way for us to be together is if I come to Rome with you and join the order like you have. After that, we can return here to Transylvania."

"Anna, I can't ask you to do that."

"I already have. I'm coming with you to join and then we'll return and get married and have a family just like we've always wanted. I love you with all my heart and if it's the only way to be with you and have that life, then so be it. I can't live without you. I won't."

He hugged her and picked her up. "I love you too. You are my everything, Anna."

"Then let me do this. PLEASE."

He sat her down. "Alright. But I'm only doing this for you."

She smiled and kissed him passionately. "I love you."

He kissed her forehead and smiled. "I love you too. Now come on. We must go before it gets too dark."

She nodded and they mounted their horses following Carl at breakneck speed.
