Chapter 1: Real or Not?
There she was, as beautiful as ever, just standing there, staring at him.
"Anna?" asked Gabriel. "Is that you? How-?"
"Shhh," she replied. "Just listen. I can't stay long, only long enough to tell you to wait."
"Wait for what?"
"Wait for me." She started to fade. "Don't give up. Don't forget me!"
"I will wait. I won't forget." And with that promise Anna disappeared and Gabriel woke up to Carl shaking him.
"Wake up. Van Helsing, wake up!" A bucket of cold water was thrown on his face.
"Aaaarrrggghhh! Carl! What was that for?" He said angrily as he groped for a towel in the semi-darkness of early morning.
"You were thrashing around and yelling," Carl replied. "You nearly took off my head when I came in. What won't you forget?"
"Wha-what are you talking about?"
"In your sleep- you said, 'I will wait. I won't forget.' Was it the dream again?" Gabriel began to remember. "Yes, it was the dream," he said. "I still don't know what it means"
Gabriel had been having the same dream for three months-it had started after Anna had died in Dracula's fortress. Only then it had been random nights- just once or twice a week. Then steadily it had grown more frequent until he saw the dream every night. Every night he was tortured by the vision of Anna, telling him not to forget. And during the day he could think of nothing else. He had had no new missions since Dracula, nothing to keep his mind off of his loss.
"It's not real Van Helsing," said Carl, startling him out of his reverie. "When people lose someone they love, they dream about them. It's not real. You can't bring her back."
"You don't know that. Maybe she is there, maybe she found a way to come back. God is merciful"
"I know God is merciful, but he can't bring back the dead."
"And why not? He is all powerful."
"Because Gabriel, when someone is meant to die, they die. It's not right to dwell on death. It only makes it more unbearable."
"Well maybe it wasn't her time to die. Maybe she was supposed to live." And with that Gabriel walked out of the monastery, feeling beaten. "You're wrong Carl," he said to himself. "She's there-she told me to wait, and I will."
Oooooooooooooooh, a cliffie!!! lol. Sry it's so short. R&R tho please! Tell me if it's good! (But I know you all are going to say it sucks anyway, because it does, but hey, I can hope) Thanx for the reviews! Hehe, sorry about the paragraph thing, I got lazy. I'll make a new chapter as soon as I can, but I'm a busy person.
