Anna sat on the table in the library at Valerious Manor. Gabriel and Carl sat in chairs below her.

"Dracula was sent to hell," she said. "The Devil was much displeased. He had failed to bring his children to life. He had failed his task. Dracula was sentenced to eternal torture- no more than he deserves. However, the Devil was soon scheming again, and he has a plan to cast our world into darkness."

"The usual, then," Carl groaned.

"However, the Devil realised that only you could stand in his way," Anna said to Gabriel. "He needs you dead before he begins his plan. So he needed someone to kill you. Why not his son, who has a need to exact revenge on you anyway? So, Dracula was sent to earth again."

"To kill me," Gabriel said. "Where do you fit into this?"

"I was chosen to come and kill Dracula before he reached you," Anna shrugged. "I failed that, and was sent to Rome by my cousin."

"What's the Devil's plan?" asked Carl.

Anna pouted. "Well.... we don't know that."

"So basically, we just need to take Dracula out," said Gabriel.

"Remember the last time we did that?" Anna asked, her eyes twinkling.
