The couple quickly settled in and went down to meet Carl for dinner. "Smells like shrimp and scallops." Gabriel commented sitting down with Anna beside him.

"That's exactly what it is." Captain Kirk said walking in and sitting down. "How'd you know?"

"Long story short, I have a very distinct nose."

"Must come in handy on your missions."

"It does actually."

At that moment, the chef walked in with four plates of food and sat them in front of everyone. "Enjoy."

Everyone dug in and ate. "Mmmmm. It's so delicious." Anna said after her first bite.


After dinner, Gabriel and Anna went to bed. Anna put one of Gabriel's shirts on and got into bed on top of him. "You look hot in that."

"Maybe I'll wear your clothes more often. It is comfortable."

"Good nite, My Darling."

Anna pecks his lips and lays her head on his chest. "Good nite, My Monster Hunter. I love you."

Gabriel kisses the top of her head. "Love you too, Hunny."


Two days later, they land in Romania. Carl fetched a carriage and Anna helped Gabriel to load the boxes into it. "Ready to go home?" Gabriel asked his fiance'.

Anna smiled. "Very much so. I liked the sea, but I want to go home now."

Gabriel picked her up and got in the carriage. Carl smiled. *It's good to see Van Helsing happy again. He deserves it.* He thought getting on and driving to Valerious Manor.


At dawn the next morning, they finally reached Valerious Manor. The town's people followed wondering who was inside the carriage. "Anna, we're hear, Love." Gabriel said lightly shaking her awake.

Anna slowly opened her eyes groaning. "What?" She asked yawning.

"We're here. Once we get everything inside, we'll get some more sleep."

Anna nodded, rubbing her sleepy eyes. "Ok." She said getting off him and grabbing a box to carry inside.

The town's people recognized her and all stared in shock. Anna shivered at the slightly cold wind and Gabriel noticed. He took off his coat and put it around her. "There you go, Love." He said and turned to take a box inside.

She smiled and bent up to kiss him. "Thank you." Gabriel nodded and took the box inside. At this moment, all the town's people started talking in whispers and Anna heard turning to see them. "AH!" She screamed dropping the box.

Gabriel heard her scream and came running. "What?! What happened? Are you alright?" He asked starting to panic.

Anna turned him around to look at the town's people and hid behind him. Gabriel looked at them a bit angry. They all cowered in fear. "Get them to go away." She whispered in his ear.

"People and friends of Vaseria." He started in a speech tone. "Princess Anna Valerious has indeed returned. But for her sake, I ask that you give her some space for a few days. She is still coming to terms of being back and is readjusting to life. In a few days time, she will be back to her old self. But please let her get readjusted to being home."

The town's people nodded and left. They respected their princess and didn't want to get into any trouble by her. Gabriel turned to face her. Anna smiled and pecked his lips. "Thank you. That was a partial lie, but you were right about having to readjust being home."

"I know. I just said the other part because I thought it might help."

"Well, it did and your speech worked. I'm just glad they're gone. Lets go inside. I'm still tired and I want to sleep some more."

Gabriel nodded and picked her up to carry them to her old room which is now THEIR room.
