Anna stopped with the antidote in hand. She looked and saw Van Helsing. Only it wasn't him. It was a werewolf. He turned and looked at her with glowing yellow eyes. The eyes Anna once knew that were full of love and caring for her was now replaced by hatred and coldness. A shiver went down Anna's spine. She looked at him one more time and remembered how he had kissed her. She closed her eyes and ran straight at him with the antidote. "Van Helsing" Anna screamed. The werewolf mistaking it for an attack threw its self at Anna. Anna was knocked to the ground and the antidote flew out of her hands and crashed to the ground. It shattered with the liquid oozing from it. "No!" Anna screamed. She realized now Van Helsing had no way to be cured. She didn't save him. She would now have to kill the man she loved. Because she failed. Van Helsing came in for another attack but Anna dodged him by rolling out of harms way. Van Helsing knocked into a pillar and was knocked out from the impact.
Carl came in when he heard the scream from Anna's throat. "Oh my God" he cried when he saw that Van Helsing was still a werewolf and the antidote was shattered. "No this can't be right" Carl said. "Carl, give me the stake!" Anna cried seeing Van Helsing get up from were he had be knocked down. Shaking away the pain in his head he growled and ran towards Anna again. Carl threw the stake again and Anna caught it just in time. She began to cry when she stabbed the werewolf. Not knowing what had just hit him he just stood there stunned. Then he let out an ear piercing howl of pain and fell to the ground. "No Van Helsing please… I'm sorry" Anna cried when she saw that the werewolf was changing. Instead of a furry black haired monster there was Van Helsing lying on the ground. His body began to convulse as it was starting to die. Anna stood there stunned by what she had just done to her love. "Anna forgive me please" Van Helsing whispered.
"I do Gabrielle. I do" She touched his face lovingly and kissed his lips. "Thank you" she said. "Anna… I love…. You" Van Helsing choked out. With all his strength he lifted his head up one more time and kissed Anna. "I love you too Van Helsing I love you too" Anna cried as she watched Van Helsing go limp in her arms. Why she thought. Why did this have to happen to her. Everyone she cared about always died. She could never save them. She couldn't save her mother cause she was only a girl. She couldn't save her father because she couldn't talk him out of going to the sea. And then she couldn't even save her brother from the werewolf. Now she couldn't even save Van Helsing when he saved her so many times. She watched him die like she watched her mother and brother die. She was weak.
"I'm sorry Van Helsing. I have failed you" Anna whispered. She stayed holding him for what seemed like hours. She didn't want to let go. Afraid that if she did that he would disappear forever. Like all her loved ones have. Carl was in too much shock to really say anything. All he could do was mourn for Van Helsing. Just as Anna was doing. How would he ever explain to the order about Van Helsing's death. "Anna come on we need to go" Carl said laying his hand on Anna's shoulder.
"I failed him Carl. I failed everyone. My family and now him. I have nothing to live for anymore. Before he came I was going to give up and then… when I saw him. I knew he would help me. He was the one. And now look. He's dead. And how. By my own hand. Because I didn't get the antidote to him in time. I killed the one I loved. Now I know what it feels like to be a murder. Now I know what hell feels like."
"Anna you did what was right. He would of wanted you too. Had he known or had control over that what he was he would of wanted you to kill him anyways. He ordered it. You did what you were told. Nothing more. And even if he's gone in the human form. Doesn't mean he isn't in your heart Anna. And Anna you didn't fail your family either. Van Helsing killed Dracula. So they are all in heaven where they belong." Carl said warmly. "Now come on. We need to bury him." Anna smiled, he did it. He uplifted the curse from her family. I knew I could count on you Van Helsing, Anna thought.
They buried Van Helsing by Anna's family. "May your soul be at peace my love" Anna said with tears rolling down her cheeks. "I will see you again" Anna smiled remembering when Van Helsing questioned her on the brighter side of death. "There's a brighter side to death?" Van Helsing asked. "Yes it's just harder to see" Anna replied.
Anna smiled once more. Knowing in her heart. That she would rejoin Van Helsing. Until then she would keep fighting. For him and Only him.
