Chapter One: Return To Rome
Disclaimer: Don't own
Gabriel Van Helsing turned from Dracula's dead corpse to face Anna, who was holding the cure to the curse of the Werewolf. The clock had not struck the final stroke of midnight so he still had a little of his former self intact. Anna rushed him and injected the antidote into his body. He looked down at her and growled before turning back into his human self.
"Anna, you weren't late after all." He said with a smile.
"Now why would I be late? I don't think being a ravenous, blood-thirsty thing would suit you very well Van Helsing."
"My name is not Van Helsing, its Gabriel."
"Um, pardon my intrusion, but, um, this entire castle is falling apart!" Carl said frantically pointing to the collapsing building around them.
Gabriel grabbed Anna's hand and Carl's cloak and jumped from the window.
"Both of you hold on to me!"
He shot his grappling hook at a tree and swung them to safety across the ravine. They found their way back through the portal and watched as the map re-formed.
"He is gone, Dracula is finally dead."
"Yes, now that our job here is finished Carl, we must return to Rome."
Anna looked at him in shock, trying to form words, but unfortunately none came to her.
"You are leaving?!"
"Yes, I was sent here to kill Dracula, and I have done that, so now I must leave."
"B…But what about all the other evil creatures living in Transylvania?! All of the gargoyles, werewolves, fell spirits and anything else that might wander around these lands?"
"Anna, I'm sorry, but I have to return, make my report and then get sent out again. I don't want to leave, but I have to."
Anna finally gave up and nodded, watching the two of them climb into a carriage. She watched it go until all she could see was the dimming light of the lanterns in the black landscape.
"Goodbye, Gabriel Van Helsing…"
