"Anna?! Anna is that you?"
Van Helsing walked frantically towards the front door of the house, which had been left ajar by whoever had just entered. He heard shuffling from the living room, which he ran to automatically, shutting the door with one hand and pulling a scythe out of its sheath on the wall with the other. He stood at the entrance of the living room, looking around wildly, breath slow. Before he could take a step into the furnished room, he felt a cold blade come into contact with his neck. "Mr. Van Helsing, you stole my job."
Gabriel smiled at her thick Transylvanian accent, which she managed to keep intact by conversing with other Transylvanian gypsies in Rome. "And for that, you are to be puni- AH!" Anna gasped as Van Helsing spun around abruptly, swooped her into his arms and kissed her happily. "I haven't seen you for a week and this is how you greet me?" He growled, taking the sword out of her hand and dangling it in front of her face.
Anna scoffed, "And whose fault is that! You're the one who wanted to go hunting warlocks, of whom I wanted to hunt, without my consent!" He kissed her again before she could say anything else; knowing she would, indeed, punish him for this later. A low cough came from the back of the room, and Gabriel spun around, placing Anna behind him. When he saw Carl's amused smile in front of him, he straightened his back and laughed. "Good evening Carl! What brings you here?" He asked his friend. "Well, if I could have a moment in your love nest. I'd like to update you on how your village in Transylvania is doing." He teased. Anna eyes lit up at the topic of her people, and she sat down on a couch, listening intently. Van Helsing stayed in the door frame, leaning on the wall.
"Frankenstein is doing a terrific job at running it, apparently. They are trading with their fellow villages now, and the Frankenstein castle is being used as a dance hall. There was one werewolf attack last month, as you know, because you handled it wonderfully." He motioned his head to Anna, and Van Helsing's jaw dropped. "Other than that one attack, everything is running smoothly, and both of you are to be at the order tomorrow to discuss next month's killings. Good day!" He ended cheerfully, chuckling at the surprised look on Van Helsing's face as he walked out the front door.
"You- you told me it was just a wolf. You told me you were going to a friend's wedding!" Gabriel said, stunned. Anna stood up and walked towards him, placing a hand on his chest. "You really can't expect me to tell you about every one of my adventures. You might steal them all."
Van Helsing smirked down at her lovingly before kissing her passionately, and enfolding her in his large arms. The only time that he stopped kissing her in the next hour or so was for him to whisper in her ear: "Then perhaps I shouldn't tell you of the vampire hunting that is taking place next week."
