Years later...

I was outside early evening on a ride, my favorite time to hunt when I heard screaming. I tied my horse to a tree, just out of sight and flashed over to a burning house. I could hear pained screams of a woman and two children and those of a man begging for their lives.

Swiftly, I found a way past the group and broke down the burning back doors and found the three. "Who are you" the woman asked as burns formed on her face.

"Come with me quickly and I'll explain everything. Please trust me. You and your children are in a greater danger" I told her. "Hold tight to me" I instructed as I took the woman and her children before flashing out of the house with them.

Once a safe distance away back at my hut, I tended to the woman and her children before getting her to explain why someone had just tried to kill them. She confirmed my theory that this had been the work of the Order Draco. I didn't dare mention my past connection with them but only told her what I had heard.

After awhile, I got them comfortable and let them rest. "Would you like me to find your husband" I asked the lady named Catherine.

"Please dear, his name is Abraham Van Helsing" Catherine told me.

"I will find him. Barricade the doors and do not dare answer until you hear my voice" I instructed before taking off. I knew exactly where I would find him.

I came back to where charred ruins of the house once stoold and I saw a man knelt down, weeping deeply. Carefully, I approached him and asked softly "Are you Abraham Van Helsing?"

"Yes but who are you" he choked out.

"It does not matter right now. What matters is bringing you back to your wife and children" I told him

"How? They just died right here" he asked, curiously looking at me. Clearly, he thought I was insane.

"No, they aren't dead. What neither you nor the mob noticed was they escaped" I answered.

"How could they get out? They were barricaded" he asked, more curious now.

"They might have had help. Listen, just come with me but quietly. I don't want the Order Draco knowing that they failed to break you" I answered and with that, I led him quickly to my hidden hut.

We finally arrived back and I called "Open the door Catherine. I brought your husband to you." The door opened and I watched as Abraham and Catherine were reunited. "Please take this cottage. Your four will be safer. It's so far off the path that no will find you at least until you four can get another house. I have left plenty of fabric for clothes." With that, I gathered what little I would need.

"Are you sure of this" Abraham asked.

"I am certain. I have found another house for myself"I answered. I saw Abraham studying me oddly before I finally left them alone. I made it back into town, finding my new house I had just purchased and took a new name. Somehow, I had a feeling that my past was finally about to catch up with me after four centuries.
