MYSTICAL SIDES

PLEASE READ

Hello everybody. I know you're probably thinking right about now that this doesn't seem like a chapter, and I'm afraid I would have to say yes, it isn't. I've decided that I won't continue writing on this story. It was hard making this decision because I like this plot and the fact that Dracula is the hunter, and Gabriel is a vampire. But I don't have the fire to write it anymore. I'm sorry to anyone I might have disappointed, but I hope the notes I write down below for the chapters that were to come in this story will satisfy you somewhat.

And I want to thank everybody for reading & reviewing! You guys are amazing and you shall always be in my hearts! (:

ONE PARTICULAR SCENE with Dracula & Anna

"You say you've come to help! But I do not know who exactly you people are!" Anna exclaimed angrily. "Are you mere peasants trying to accomplish something angelic so you can gain favor of God and my people? Can you say without a single doubt that you have come out of an altruistic heart? Or are you really men of God with the right knowledge for a fight against a threat towards mankind?"

Anna Valerious strode over to Dracula with a stern look on her face. However Dracula thought he saw a slight flicker of hope in her eyes, which was quickly smothered back inside of her.

"We are here to save your family, Ms. Valerious. We are not here to gain anything..." Dracula began slowly

Anna looked at him skeptically. "I need to know for sure that you are not here to disrespect my family's name. I have had enough betrayals for one lifetime." And then the Princess let out a sorrowful sigh that made Dracula want to comfort her. "I do not think I can bear any more disappointments..."

Anna turned away from the hunter and looked up at the family portraits, lined neatly on the wall. Dracula followed her gaze and found that she was looking at her own family, staring right back at her with a smile. Her father's face was serious, but it looked like he was trying to smile through his grim frown. Her mother's arms were wrapped around her two children, younger versions of Anna and Velkan looking down at the grown up Princess with glittering, innocent smiles on their faces.

Dracula felt compassion overcome his heart. In spite of himself, he took a step closer to Anna's side and slipped his hand gently into the Princess's free hand, trying to grip it reassuringly. Anna looked back at him with shock on her face, but she said nothing in protest. Instead, she gave him a small smile. It was enough to make the hunter smile back as well.

PLOT TWIST

AT SOME POINT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CHAPTER

Sephara betrays her sisters. She sets a trap that causes her oldest sister, Valiya to die. In her dying moments, she curses Sephara to an inevitable death. (Even though Valiya was a bride and she was a monster at some point in her immortal life, she had slowly been adopting a human trait; motherhood. And that made her more humane than the rest of Gabriel's brides.) Sephara thinks nothing of it – seeing as the so-called 'mother' to Ajalia, the little vampire 'brat' was dead, she could now kill Ajalia easily. Or at least that's what she thinks when she sets another trap to make it look like Ajalia had died of her own accord.

When Ajalia and Sephara come face to face with each other, the second bride reveals her treachery to Ajalia. The little girl is devastated and she can't understand why her 'loving' Aunt had betrayed her. Sephara tells her that she hated the little girl because she wasn't her daughter and that she had always taken away her Master's attention.

Ajalia is not a little girl anymore in the inside after hearing that. She makes it so that Sephara's plan backfires on the vampiress. Sephara doesn't expect and she dies, screaming, scorched into ashes by consuming flames that Ajalia had made. But the little girl realizes something – the mother she had was not her real one, but she had been the only one to really love and care for her. She understood how she was never going to age, that she would not be the same from all the other human beings. And that no matter what was to happen, she couldn't go back to her 'Master' and 'Father'.

She flees.

FINALE

- Possessed (and oblivious) Darya tries to kill Anna.

- Anna tries to do the opposite. She tries to save her twin sister.

- While Anna is fighting Darya, Dracula is in the same room with Gabriel Van Helsing.

- Gabriel taunts him about the past they had together, and how it will destroy Dracula. He tells the hunter how they were brothers-in-arms. How Dracula's past self had killed his close friend in cold blood.

DEATH

When Dracula manages to kill Gabriel by striking a sword poisoned with werewolf blood through his chest, Gabriel looks up at Dracula in his final moments with an centuries old sadness in his eyes. His last words is, "You never change."

----------

Basically the story ends with a good ending (the threat is defeated, the brides (or at least two of them) are dead). Anna doesn't die and Dracula gets to kiss her. :P I haven't gone far up until these ideas.

Thank you for all the support you have given me while writing this story! You guys are wonderful! :D
