Anna looked around at the chamber. 'Where is he!' She thought. Anna had made an arrangement with the Count. 'It's not like him to be late!'

Soon though the chamber doors flew open. Dracula glided in with his cape flapping behind him and an ever-persistent Eagor struggling to keep up.

"Ahh Anna! What a splendid surprise!" Dracula said upon seeing the fair lady.

"We already played that game Count! You know why I am here and you know what I want. All I want to know is can you do it?" Anna asked rushing to the point. ' The less time I have to spend with him the better!'

The Count sighed with disappointment. "Alright Anna, have it your way. I stopped liking you after you clawed my in the face with that mace! Anyway, down to business. You want out of the after life correct?"

"Yes." Anna said looking around the grand room she was in.

"Well you know I can't let you go back to," The Count sighed and made a disgruntled face at the mention of Gabriel Van Helsing, "... him, without a consequence."

"Yes" Anna said as she looked to a painting of a big black werewolf and thought of both Valkin and Gabriel. How she longed to be slaying beasts by Gabriel's side again.

"And you are still okay with the fact that you must go back, well, lets just say, go back not quite as yourself?" Dracula asked as he felt the scars upon his face from the mace Anna swung at him when he tried to kiss her.

"YES OKAY! Can we just get on with it?!" Anna yelled staring at Dracula square in the eye.

"Very well." Dracula smiled as he walked towards Anna. "You will go back as a Vampyre, but a vampyre of a new breed. For you shall have a tiny bit of werewolf blood in you as well. You will find yourself lying above your grave when u awaken. You will look no different than you did the day you died, not that u do anyway. Oh, and uh, one more thing..." The count smiled evilly. "Aubrey!!! Get you ass in here!" The Count yelled.

A young man barely over 28 came in. Anna, being only 27, found him very attractive. He had raven black hair that stopped (in a sexy way) at his eyes and the top of his ears. He was pale as ivory. Anna could only tell this because he wore no shirt, only a long black trench coat of leather. He had on black pants and black boots. He had very visible muscles and a wore a full six pack set of abs. He had on a spike necklace choker made of werewolf teeth. He was indeed the fairest youth Anna ever saw.

"Anna, meet Aubrey. Aubrey this is Anna, the one I told you about." The Count said simply, touching his scars again.

Aubrey chuckled slightly. "Yes well that may be her name but why must I know it? Excuse me miss and count but I see no need for me to be here." Aubrey stated. He held his hands behind his back, left hand holding right wrist.

"Because you are to show her the ropes about the immortal living in the mortal world." The count said simply.

"You mean you want me to take her to the mortal world where she came from and show her what it is like to be a vampyre before we send her off to Van Helsing?" Aubrey asked, somewhat but not especially shocked.

"Yes." The Count said.

Aubrey glanced over to Anna who did not look pleased about the idea of him leading her around but did not object.

"So basically I am to be her body guard and deliver her safely to Van Helsing?" Aubrey asked.

"Yes." Dracula answered.

"Works for me as long as I get out of this hell hole!" Aubrey asked as he started to turn around.

"I knew you would not object. Now Anna as soon as you leave hells gates you will be enslaved with the curse of the vampyre. It was a..." The count sighed, touching his scars once more, "pleasure having you in our presence. Now be gone!" Dracula scolded.

Anna for once in a long time felt free. To her Dracula was no longer Count Dracula, her ruler, but just, Dracula. She had finally beaten him. Anna smiled as she followed Aubrey out.

"So... Aubrey, was it?" She asked. She did not like the fact that this... being was to lead her around. Come to think of it, she didn't even know what he was. Though he must have been powerful for even Dracula feared him.

"Yes." He replied. ' Must be the one syllable kind of guy.' Anna thought to herself.

"No actually I just have a lot on my mind." Aubrey replied.

' Did he just read my mind or something?!' Anna thought.

"Yes actually. One of my many hidden talents. Though just say the word and I will get out of your head." Anna felt his words intrude her mind.

"What are you?" Anna felt herself think.

"Oh you will find out sooner than I would like." Aubrey replied.

"Well that's nice. Now get out of my head!" Anna snapped. Just as the sentence left her head she felt the dark presence remove itself from her mind.

"Wonderful. How far am I gonna get if he keeps doing that?" Anna asked herself.

Before she could realize, Anna found herself on her coffin with Aubrey standing on the marshy plains looking to the moon. The very spot Gabriel stood when burning my ashes. Anna thought as she remembered looking down on him and longing to be with him. She felt that very same tear run down her cheek.

"Bout time you woke up!" Aubrey said with a playful look in his eye. "I had enough time to feed and everything! Now come on! Lets go!" Aubrey said as he walked past her.

Anna felt some kind of connection with Aubrey though she did not like it. She took one last look at the spot where Gabriel once stood then slid off her coffin burial site and ran to catch up with Aubrey who was jogging now. They both ran into the night with the moon at their backs...
