Anna felt detached and light-headed as they fell. She was going to die again, and she was scared absolutely witless. Time seemed to slow down again. She felt Dracula slip his arms around her, pull her close....
Wings. Wings sprung up around her. She was very faint by this time, and the only thing she was aware of was not falling anymore. Instead, she was going up, vaguely feeling the arms around her waist.
"Anna!"
Gabriel's voice filled her ears, enclosing her in safety somehow. She knew, in some strange way, that it was all going to be okay.
They stopped going up. Everything blurred, and became black...
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Gabriel could only watch in horror (he was annoyed at how much of that he had been doing) as Dracula dragged Anna up onto the railing of the balcony and transformed back to his human form. He grinned cockily down at Gabriel, and held Anna by neck, holding her out. She was unconscious, and hung limply in his hand, powerless.
"Dracula, no," Gabriel hissed.
"See, she's powerless in my arms... powerless..." Dracula murmured, running his free hand slowly down her cheek.
"Just don't drop her, please!" Gabriel said. He loathed having to beg Dracula for anything but Anna's life was worth more than his pride.
Dracula flashed him a cocky grin. "It isn't nice... to be helpless, is it Gabriel?"
"Don't make her pay for our problems, Vladislaus," Gabriel growled.
"Problems? I see only one problem."
"What's that?" Van Helsing asked.
"That you're still breathing."
Van Helsing bit back the insults on his tongue and looked instead at Anna, who was apparently stirring, slowly moving her head and opening her eyes.
She mouthed something. The box.
Gabriel frowned in confusion. The box? Then he remembered the box which Carl had given him. He reached slowly into the pocket where it was and began carefully opening it.
"Now... your blood will keep me alive and fit, Anna," Gabriel purred.
"Doesn't look like it's doing that for me," she groaned. "What makes you think it will work for you?"
"You will keep me alive so that I can kill thousands more," he smiled. "What do you think about that?"
She caught the beautiful marble stake which Gabriel had pulled from the box and tossed to her, and swung around, piercing Dracula in the heart with it. "I think," she snarled. "That if you're going to kill someone, you should do it, not stand around talking about it for hours."
It was a strange moment. Dracula screamed, dropped Anna, and fell back, writhing and then suddenly changing into dust.
Gabriel ran forward, caught Anna in his arms.
"I'm so sorry," he said, placing her gently on her feet.
"Don't be," she smiled. "We did it, didn't we?"
She threw her arms around his neck and pulled him into a long, passionate kiss, one which left them breathless.
"Don't mind me," Carl said, coming in. "I trust he's dead then?"
"No, we're snogging because we half-expect him to appear from the shadows and kill us," Anna rolled her eyes.
Carl looked petrified. Anna and Gabriel laughed.
"Joke," Gabriel grinned.
Carl scowled. "And there was me thinking that jokes were supposed to be funny."
Gabriel shrugged and pulled Anna into another kiss. Carl mimed retching.
A bright light filled the hall. Anna and Gabriel jumped apart and the three friends stood, staring at the white man who had appeared in the hall. In the light they couldn't see his face or his features but it was obvious that he was here from Heaven.
"Anna Valerious," he said.
Gabriel slipped an arm around Anna's shoulders. "You won't take her."
"My dear Gabriel, I have no intention of taking her. As a reward to both of you, she has her life back."
With that, he vanished. Anna and Gabriel exchanged a glance of the most beautiful kind, and collapsed into each other's arms.
"You know," Carl remarked, "for a girl who has seen Heaven, she sure is easily pleased."
