Ageless
Disclaimer: This is another VH/OC, I know, but I don't own VH or any one, but Anna, and the other unoriginal. Everything else belongs to summers and the original Dracula writer.
Chapter 1 SolitudeDays would come to an end, he had to kill her he didn't know why, but his instincts took over him. Clearly in his nightmares he could see her body, hear the cracking of her breastbone over her heart. When he woke he was sweating. Gabriel Van Helsing was little more then a regular human, he had lost his memory long ago, then was found crawling up the Vatican City steps near to death, and is wanted by all Europe. His clear reflection of life is "why can't God do his own work," A reflection that would pass on to generations to come.

Gabriel Van Helsing woke to the sound of his own yells. Carl burst into the room and looked at him curiously.
"More dreams." He interrogated. Van nodded. "That's what I thought...Cardinal Jenette sent for you." Sighing Van pushed the blankets aside and stretched.
"Thank you Carl." He said while pulling on his trench coat and hat.Carl left and Van Helsing after him.

The Cardinal was standing by the fire in the large armory; his brow was knitted in confusion and somewhat in anger. Gabriel didn't know weather he should approach his now or wait till he was calmer to do so. Before he could turn though, The Cardinal caught his blank look.
"May god have pity on your soul, my son." He stated. Van Helsing was taken back by the statement and stared on in confusion. Cardinal put a hand on his shoulder and gave him a grave look. "I have something to tell you, Gabriel."
"Please tell," Van urged. The Cardinal took a deep breath before beginning a story.
"You well remember the young woman you were taken with six years ago do you not?" It pained Van to think of Akida at the moment, but he nodded his head. "I am sorry to inform you that she died not but nine months ago."
"What? When, where, how?" Helsing went on. Cardinal quieted him as best he could.
"Hush..." the Cardinal turned his gaze towards the picture of Anna on the wall, that Van Helsing started staring at. "I am sorry to say that she did not leave without an heir, the young lady in the picture, is your daughter, Gabriel... That young girl is Anna Van Helsing." Gabriel surveyed the painting; the child looked much like her mother, only her eyes were lighter. The black hair hung in front of one eye while her head was bent sideways a little; her lips were turned in an awed expression.
Gabriel walked to the picture and touched the face. It was less like his own, and the more like Akidas. Carl's hand rested on his shoulder.
"We should go for her." He said. Gabriel turned away from the picture and stared at the floor.
"I guess we should, Carl." Everyone yelled stepping back from the middle of the floor. A large opening appeared like a mountain and a burst of hot flame met in the middle with a man. His deep, dark eyes and flaming red hair moved."
"Who are we going after this time, Gabriel, your imaginary friend?" Carl rolled his eyes. "Don't think I didn't see that Friar Carl." Carl was unfazed.
"Well I'm not the one tearing holes in the floor instead of using the front doors." The friar walked off to pack. Gabriel looked at the man and laughed.
"Don't mind him Vash, Carl can be a little deep set." Vash laughed.
"So I've noticed." He fallowed Gabriel out into the abbey. "So, who are going after?" He asked again, Van Helsing stopped.
"My Daughter."
"Oh, Anna." Gabriel turned.
"You knew?" he asked.
"Can't say I didn't... She not what you think she is Gabriel. You can search all you want, but you never find her Dracula has her." Swiftly Van Helsing turned.
"Dracula?" He sneered. Vash nodded solemnly.
"It will take you years before you can actually get her back." He paused. "For the love of all glory, Van, listen to me...I don't even know were Dracula is." Van Helsing looked at him, his hazel eyes shown with affection.
"We have to try, Vash, she is the only thing of her mother that I have...I must find her no matter the costs." Carl approached them. Vash sighed.
"Alright, I'll tag along like a good puppy." He said sarcastically making Van smile. They mounted and said their partings to Cardinal Jenette before ridding to the docks.

Transylvania:
Anna sprang into the air after Genesis, The demon had the account on her and could easily take her down, but this time she wouldn't let her. Below them, Dracula, Verona, Aleera, Lyda, and Marishka were looking on. Anna swerved again dodging her sister's blow. A glint of cold mettle and both teenagers were in a sword fight. At this point Anna had the advantage, Genesis wasn't very good with a sword, she spun around and head towards the trees. Gen fallowed, gaining speed Anna spun and caught her sister off guard. Her sword went to Genesis' throat.
"Gotcha." Anna said calmly. Gen pouted as they landed.
"That was no fair, you are better with the weapons." Anna laughed at this.
"But you were the one who pulled your sword out first."
"Good point, but still you should have known."
"And you should have watched me." Bother sisters laughed as they rejoined their family, Dracula hugged them both tightly.
"Well done you two, well done." Anna nodded. "I believe you are ready to join your mothers in a hunt." Genesis was bouncing up and down, but Anna stayed still. She didn't care for blood poor all that much, it was against her life's cause. Lyda tugged on her sister's cloak. The two year old held out her arms.
"Mama." She said, Anna smiled and picked her up. Lyda had always called her that, ever since the night she and Genesis found her near to death of starvation. The blonde curls bounded into the babies face. Genesis kissed her cheek and walked to the summer palace in Budapest. That night they were to hold a masquerade ball. Little did they know, Gabriel Van Helsing was on his way to Budapest to search the Palace, as a matter of fact he was there, but the palace was a little hard to find despite the vastness of it. Anna and Genesis put Lyda to sleep and rejoined their Parents outside.
Dracula was in a discussion with a man they had never seen before. His brown hair fell into his flushed face, and his hazel eyes blazed in anger. Genesis cocked her head to the side slightly and she and Anna walked up to the both of them. Dracula faced them and smiled.
"Gabriel, I would like you to meet my daughters..." He put a hand on their shoulders. "This is Genesis and this is Anna." The other mans face was blank, he held out his hands to them, Gen took it, but Anna would not.
"I don't make it a point to be nice to humans." She said stepping backwards into Dracula. He pinched her shoulder.
"I think we can make one exception today Anna." Reluctantly she shook Gabriel's hand. When he moved a certain person with dark red hair caught her eyes.
"Vash!" She said rather loudly. The man was startled for a moment.
"Anna..." He paused. Dracula let her go and she ran to him.
"Oh, Vash I have so much to tell you." She said taking his hand she led him to the palace. Genesis fallowing. Gabriel shot a look At Dracula.
"She is not your daughter, Dracula, she is mine." Gabriel bit off. Dracula smiled.
"I know that Gabriel, but for now let her think she is mine. After all she doesn't know you." Gabriel glared.
"Fine, but we are staying where I can keep an eye on her."
"Good, why don't you settle down, come to ball tonight, It is Anna's sixteenth birthday after all." Dracula smiled. "But Of course you didn't know that." Dracula walked back to the Palace. Oh how Gabriel loathed that vampire. He could be so frivolous sometimes that it wasn't funny to Gabriel at all. All he did was use his knowledge to torment Him. But for know, he would have to be nice, he wasn't here to kill Dracula like last time, he was here for Anna.
Gabriel and Carl fallowed the count to their rooms, on the beds a costume was set out. It wouldn't be long before Dark came, and when it did Van Helsing knew what awaited them in the hall.
Sorry guys this was kind of short, my other chapters I will make as long as possible. I would put a story of LotR up, but I am still editing that one. Anyway, I really hate this chapter...my cat dose too. Please R&R, I don't know what I should put in the other Chapters I have had this story in my head for days and it seemed to go a little fast.
