"Welcome to Transylvania." Came a creepy voice from behind Gabriel Van Helsing and his friar friend Carl.

Gabriel and Carl turn to face him as Gabriel drops his bag next to him. Then there's the sound of boots on the edge of the well. "You. Turn around." Came the commanding voice of a man.

Gabriel and Carl turn to face him. "You must be Prince Velken." Gabriel spoke.

Velken narrowed his eyes. "How do you know me, Stranger?"

"I'm here to help."

"We don't need any help."

"Says the man who doesn't realize vampires are coming right from behind you." He replied pointing his crossbow above Velken's head.

Velken ducked just in time and Gabriel started shooting his arrows at them. "VELKEN!" Came a woman's voice.

Velken got up and ran to her. "Anna! Get inside somewhere!"

"What's going on?"

"Vampires."

"In daylight? But they never do that."

"Apparently they're most desperate to finish us off. After the warewolf we killed earlier this morning, I don't blame them."

"Be careful." She said and ran towards a building. She got inside and quickly shut the door.

"Thirty years old. Perfectly aged." Came a voice from behind her.

Anna jumped around to find Aleera with a glass of blood in her hands and her most recent victim lying on the table in front of her. She got up and went towards Anna who backed up until another vampire landed behind her and she was cornered by both. "Hello, Anna. My Dear." Verona said. "One of the last of the Valerious'." Anna had no weapons and tried to uppercut Verona, but she caught her wrist painfully. "I can feel fresh blood rushing through her veins."

"I want first bite." Aleera said then the next thing they know, Verona was dust.

Aleera screamed and backed up turning into her hell beast form and flew off out of the roof. Anna looked up at her savior and gasped. "It's you." She whispered.

"I beg your pardon?" He asked confused.

Anna said nothing. She jumped on him kissing him passionately. Gabriel staggered back a little shocked, but then responded after five seconds kissing her back. After kissing each other for ten seconds, they pulled away. "I love you, Van Helsing."

That sudden revelation made him confused again. "Do I know you, Princess?"

She shook her head. "No. But I know you. Seeing as your reputation precedes you. But it's not just that. I've been dreaming about you for the last year. At first, I didn't know who you were until I saw a wanted poster of you. But then I had a name to the face of my lover."

"Dreaming of me?" He asked even more confused.

"Yes. I don't know why. All I know is that I love you and that I've been waiting for you."

"After that welcome from you, I must admit that I do feel strong positive feelings towards you. Almost connected to you somehow. But I can't be positive if it's love or lust. I've never had these feelings before until now."

"Then we will take it slowly. But just know I love YOU. It's my first time with them too, but it took me only a month to realize it was definitely love and not lust I felt. Maybe it'll take you the same. But for now, we'll stick to kissing and cuddling. Nothing more."

"I think I can do that." He said and they walked out towards the well where Velken was standing. "Next time stay close. You're no good to me dead."

Velken smirked. "Well, I'll say this for you. You've got courage. He's the first one to kill a vampire in over a hundred years!" He said to the crowd. "I'd say that's earned him a drink."

"But you killed Marishka, Prince Velken. That's two down and two to go."

"But I couldn't have done it without your help. I had no weapons. Your monk friend is quite a genius."

"FRIAR!" Carl yelled frustrated.

"Whatever." Velken dismissed.

Anna gaped. "VELKEN! Don't be rude. Papa said to never compliment then to be rude if you're partially incorrect. He said to listen..."

"...and apologize. I know, Anna." He said cutting her off.

"So?" She said raising her eyebrow.

Velken sighed and turned to Carl. "I'm sorry."

Carl nodded. "Apology accepted."

Anna turned to Gabriel. "So, he came with you?"

"Yes. This is Carl. He's not much of a field man. So I must apologize if he doesn't seem well adapted."

"It's his first time I take it."

"Yes. The Cardinal made him come along to keep me alive as long as possible. While it is MY job to keep you and your brother alive."

"Until Dracula is vanquished." She finished.

"Yes."

Realization dawned on her and she became sad. "Then it means our time is limited."

Gabriel pulled her in for a hug. "Maybe not. I'll see what I can do."
