[With Anna in Transylvania]
Anna has been in her room in the Valerious Manor upset and crying for the last week. It's been exactly one whole week since Gabriel Van Helsing and Carl left to go back to Vatican City and they killed Dracula. After Anna cured Gabriel of his warewolf curse, they went back to the Valerious Manor where Anna kissed Gabriel for the second time only this time as a thank you for saving her. Gabriel realized during the kiss that Anna winced in pain and he looked at her ribs after setting her down on her bed. She had four broken ribs and one was twisted outward puncturing through her skin making her bleed through. With a little help from Carl, Gabriel fixed her up and put the rib back in place so it could heal properly. Carl stitched the skin closed where it punctured through then Gabriel carefully wrapped her entire middle up to hold them in place for her to heal. Anna desperately wanted Gabriel to stay in Transylvania with her and take care of her. However, Gabriel knew he had to go back for his report on succeeding the mission and both he and Carl left the next day. Gabriel felt really bad about leaving his beloved behind and hired a nurse to take care of her while he was gone until she was fully healed. And although the nurse tried to get Anna to tell the people about their success in defeating Dracula, Anna constantly refused to even leave her bedroom until Van Helsing came back for her. So she's now constantly reminded of their adventure and the way he wooed her through her dreams. Anna is now standing on her balcony in her bedroom thinking about how to get her boyfriend back looking up at the sky watching as the sun starts to set for the night.
Anna: *I can't believe he left me. I NEED him. He's the only person I have left that I love. I should've told him THAT night before they took off back to Rome. He needs to know how I truly feel about him. I love him and I can't lose him like I lost my family.* [Looks out at the sunset] Come back and be my king and help me rule Transylvania. Woo me the way you did when we first met. My heart aches without you here by my side and it hurts to breathe when I'm here alone. I love you, Gabriel Van Helsing. Please come back and free me from this hell.
Nurse comes bursting in through her bedroom door.
Nurse: Princess! [Panting from running from the front door of the manor]
Anna: [Turns around quickly to look at her] Yes?
Nurse: [Takes a deep breath and stops panting] There's a guy at the front door asking to see you. He said it's really important.
Anna: Tell him to come up here because I'm not leaving my room. [Looks to the sunset again thinking about Gabriel and lets a tear fall]
Nurse: Princess, Van Helsing came to do what he needed to do and he had to go back. He's where he belongs. With his own people. And I'm sorry to tell you this, but you need to hear it. Van Helsing is NEVER coming back. He did his job and now he's moved on. It's time you moved on as well. It's been a week now. You can't keep yourself locked in your bedroom forever. You need to come out.
Anna: [Starts to cry from what she heard and looks at the woman] I can't breathe. I can't think. I feel like I can't exist.
Nurse: [Sighs] I get it that you love him because he saved your life. Three times. But you can't expect for him to love you back and come back for you. He came and did what he needed to do and needed to go back. He's where he needs to be and he's never coming back. You need to accept that. I mean, you can't ignore the facts. Life is how it is. You need to move on.
Anna: I can't. I'm sorry. Just tell the man to come up here. I'd rather die than come out of my room.
Nurse: [Worried about the Princess, she sighs not wanting to argue and goes to get the man] She's in her room. She wants me to bring you up there.
Messenger: [Nods and follows her]
Nurse: [Walks in the room with the man behind her] Here he is, Princess. [Walks out]
Anna: [Wipes her tears and looks at the man] So, what did you need to see me for?
Messenger: I was sent to give you this letter. [Hands her a letter that reads "My Princess Anna" on the front of the envelope]
Anna: Thank you. You may go.
Messenger: [Nods and leaves]
Anna: [Opens it and reads the letter]
Dear Anna, I hope you realize I left because I had no choice. I would've chosen to stay if I had a choice. I wish for nothing more than to be with you. I want to be there to take care of you and protect you from any other evil that comes across Transylvania. All I've been able to think about the past week is you. I can't get you out of my head. I constantly think about your beautiful face, your sweet smell, and your soft, smooth lips. I dream about you every night and it kills me to wake up and find you're not beside me. I know I didn't tell you before, but I'm telling you now. I LOVE you, Anna Valerious. And I'm proud to say, I'm IN LOVE with you. I can't wait until we meet again. I send you all my love.
Sincerely, Gabriel Van Helsing
P.s. I have a surprise for you. Look out to your balcony.
Anna: [Crying happy tears from the letter itself] I'm in love with you too, Gabriel. [Looks at the P.s. again then puts a really confused face on and looks out towards her balcony and gasps]
