Gabriel Van Helsing had just returned from his mission on killing an ogre that was terrorizing the streets of London. He walked into his room not noticing there was someone there. Anna teared up at the way he looked and sniffled. Hearing the sniffle, he looked up. Recognizing her, he stood frozen in shock. "Anna?"

Anna didn't say anything, she just ran to him and pulled him in for a passionate kiss. When air was needed, she pulled away just enough to look at him. "I'm back. I'm here. Come back to me, Gabriel." She said just barely above a whisper.

Snapping out of his shock, he blinked. "You really are here." He replied in the same tone not quite believing it.

Anna kissed him again for a minute which he returned. "Is that real enough for you?"

Gabriel nodded and hugged her tight tearing up. That made Anna start crying again. "I missed you so much." He whisper croaked.

She hugged him a little tighter. "This last month has been hard on me as well."

Gabriel composed himself and pulled away just enough to look at her. "It hasn't been..."

She cut him off. "...the same without me. I know. I've been watching. Death is a lot like life, but different in a way. If you think about someone, no matter where you are, you can watch over the people or person you love. I watched you through my bedroom window everyday and night. After this last month, I couldn't take watching you get worse in your sadness and depression because it only made me feel just as bad. It made me confess to myself how much you really meant to me. So I asked God to send me back and he did."

"If you've been watching, then you know I look at your picture every night. Carry it with me no matter where I go. I talk to you, well, IT."

"I was listening. And you need to stop blaming yourself for my death. It's not healthy to dwell on the past like that."

"Even so, it was still me. Which indicates it's my fault." Anna slapped him upside the head. "OW!"

"Stop being an idiot." She scolded him.

He rubbed his head where she hit it. "At least I know you're still the same Anna I knew a month ago."

That made Anna laugh. "You think death might have changed me?"

Gabriel shrugged. "Maybe a little."

She smacked his arm playfully. "I am no different than I was when I met you. Except for what you did to me within three days."

"What's that?"

"You stole my heart." She said seriously. That made him look at her with such love in his eyes, she couldn't help, but smile. "And seeing the way you've been, it seems as though I took yours with me when I died. But I'm back now and I need you to be that same man I fell in love with."

"That shouldn't be too hard. I'd do ANYTHING for you. Besides, I've never been happier than when I met you. Aside from being dead for a month."

Anna smirked. "There he is. The quick smart elic of a man I once knew. Cockiness aside."

Gabriel laughed. "Come on. I'll show you around."
