Chapter 13: The ruby: Part 1.
Anna was set upon the large stretcher. Harven looked down at his palm and saw a small, glowing orb. It was streaked with stripes of blue and gold. He held it to the princess' head. She began to writhe and move, eyes still closed. The vampire saw another orb come in and he did the same thing. Miles was busy pouring a green liquid into another phial. He watched closely as it sizzled.
"Is it ready?" Harven asked. Miles stared at the serum not much longer and brought it up to his face. A little cloud that was in the shape of a woman's face appeared and then was carried away by the wind that came from the open window. Miles looked out the window and saw the moon. He grinned slightly and hurriedly carried the serum toward Anna. She lay there silent. The lightning bolts that had hit the vampire and her earlier had brought a small flicker of light into the princess. Miles laughed wildly as he held the serum up. Harven looked at him and narrowed his eyes. He ripped the phial from the doctor's hands and held it to Anna's lips. The mouth opened and the liquid poured down her throat. It was soon emptied and Harven crashed it against a wall. They both looked as she began to move.
The Banshee crowded around Van Helsing. He groaned as the wound burned him.
"What shall we do with him?" one asked. Another came up, palms glowing with fire. She hit the one that spoke in the head and she fell to the ground, motionless. The others looked as Alvonia transformed into a phoenix and flew around them all. They screamed and flew against the trees and bushes. She laughed and transformed back into human form. The shape shifter kneeled down and placed her hand on the monster hunter's forehead. Gabriel opened his eyes slightly and saw a woman standing there. He closed them again and saw Anna Valerious smiling. She had her hands to her sides. Gabriel then saw her looking not at him but beyond a large castle.
"Gabriel" the princess whispered.
"Yes?" he muttered as a reply.
"Take them to the castle, the castle of the monster" she replied. Van Helsing smiled.
"The castle? Ha ha," he said sleepily.
"Gabriel, Gabriel, Gabriel?" Alvonia asked as she shook him. He opened his eyes again. The shape shifter was kneeling, shaking his shoulder.
"I had a vision!" he said, sitting bolt right up. She turned her head to the side.
"A vision?" she asked.
"A vision," he repeated. "The princess, Anna Valerious came to me! She said take them to the castle of the monster!" he said. "You may not know, but Anna was a dear friend..."he stopped.
"Yes, I know the Valerious. When I was young, the Prince Velkan saved me from a horrible man." She told him. In her mind, she saw the prince holding her hand.
"Alvonia!" Velkan yelled. She didn't reply. The prince walked over to her and held her hand. She lay on the ground, a pool of blood surrounding her. They were in a large forest by a lake. Rain poured from the sky.
"Velkan?" she asked. He put his hand under her head. She coughed and gasped.
"What happened?" the prince asked. She opened her mouth and coughed.
"Velkan, it was a vampire" the woman groaned. The man turned to see Count Harven standing, veiled with canines bared. The prince reached into his pocket and withdrew a silver stake. Harven hissed and stood back. Velkan held it higher and the rain dropped upon it softly. Velkan ran at the vampire and drove the stake through his heart. In the clouded sky, lightning hit the ground and made all of the surroundings tremble. Harven yelled and blood poured from his chest. It spilled everywhere and fell to the ground. The veil fell from his face and a stark white expression was revealed. Where the stake was, a large, illuminating light came out and made Velkan squint. It passed beyond him, to Alvonia and then past the trees. Harven disappeared into thin ashes and got carried away in the wind. Velkan saw the silver stake hit the soft ground. He crouched to Alvonia. She smiled and then closed her eyes. The prince could see two thin bite marks upon her neck.
"What then happened?" Van Helsing asked. Carl and Frankenstein's monster now stood by their side and listened to the story. She felt her neck. The bite marks had disappeared many years before.
"He then took me to the doctor, Mishcoffe Miles. Velkan left and I never saw him again. I owe the Valerious' my life." She finished.
"Why did Harven bite you?" Carl asked. She ran her fingers along the neck again and sighed.
"I will not tell now, for we must leave for Castle Frankenstein" Alvonia said. They looked at her.
"Why do you think Anna approached me in my dream?" Gabriel asked. In the shape shifter's eye was the Princess Anna.
"Because Miles and Harven plan to revive her, and for that reason, I do not know" she told them.
"Revive her?" Van Helsing asked. He could still see Anna smiling in the clouds. "She passed the gate of St. Peter, she is with her family now, why revive her?" he asked with a lump in his throat.
"It is a way to keep a certain being with them so that Harven will be fully restored with power! That electric shock that gave Harven the ability to become a Hellbeast didn't give him full power!" she said. "And he will stop at nothing to revive his cousin, Drac..." she stopped. Dracula was also an enemy of hers.
"How to get to Frankenstein when you are wounded?" Gabriel asked. She clutched her wound and where the Holy Water had almost healed it.
"I never told you all, but flying isn't the only way of transportation!" she said. Alvonia reached into her pocket and pulled a ruby red stone out. "Be ready!" she said. The red ruby began to glow and then it devoured them all. The four disappeared on spot.
Well??? R&R. I am not almost finished, so.........wait for more...and the Dracula being her enemy will come later.
