Just to let you all know, when I say Gabriel I mean Van Helsing. Just for you who didn't know that was his real name.


Gabriel

The sun peaked from behind the tall trees and turned the sky all shades of orange and pink. As I sat up, a pain went up my arm. A long cut ran from my palm to my shoulder. I looked around to try and figure out what had happened, then the memories came back. Anna dead and it was because of me.

"Search there!"

A deep voice echoed. A tall man came through the trees and gave me a horrified look. He held up his small revolver and pointed it at my heart.

"Who are you?"

He asked. Before I could answer, a small boy ran in between the man and I.

"Father stop. That's the man who saved us."

I recognized the boy then. When Carl and I first came to Transylvania, the town Anna called home was attacked by the three wives of Dracula, I had managed to kill one of them.

'He's the first one to kill a vampire in over a hundred years.'

Anna had said. The boy's father lowered the weapon and took a step closer.

"You're Van Helsing?"

He asked. All I could do was nod because of the foggy feeling I had. The man removed his jacket and placed it around my shoulders. He helped me stand and they led me to a gathering of people near a cliff side.

"Markus, what have you found?"

Another man, more plump than my helper, asked.

"Not what, who. Van Helsing."

Markus answered. Some of the men whispered into the ears of others and I was given a mixture of untrusting looks.

"We are here to find Anna Valerious. You were the last one seem with her. If you were wondering why some of them are acting this way."

Markus explained to me.

"When you take me to the town and I find clothes, I'll tell you all you want to know."

It was only a small lie.

Carl

I had found a boat to take Anna and I back to the small town. Once there, I carried her to her room in her families castle and bandaged her side. Most of the men had gone searching for something and had not returned. The velvet couch Anna laid on at Dracula's castle had a book hidden behind it. That book was now open on the table in Anna's room and I flipped through the pages. Inside were journal entries dating back to the death of Doctor Frankenstein.

'A new master came and gave me a place to call home. Master is strong and no one has been successful in killing him. He has told me of his origin, though I knew most of the story already. Doctor Frankenstein's monster disappeared, master isn't happy and neither are his wives. One of the many jobs I've been given is to take care of the creatures that protect him, I'm not sure why he needs them. The wolves that only change during a full moon, werewolves. I have only seen one wolf at a time and asked master why not just breed them, I never received an answer.'

Names were shouted outside, the voices of wives and daughters to their fathers and husbands. I went to the window and saw the person I was worried for, Van Helsing.
