Gabriel looked down at the body in disbelief.

She was alive.

Anna was actually alive.

She coughed gently once before muttering to herself and softly whispering, "Gabriel?..."

"Oh god! It's a miracle!" Carl exclaimed as he stared.

"Anna?" Van Helsing asked her, "Are you alright?"

There was no actual response.

"Here. Take this," Carl told Van Helsing giving him a bottle of some scented potion that he had managed to find among all things in his little bag of wonders he carried.

Gabriel laid her back down and moved the potion back and forth under her nose to awake her.

Slowly she opened her eyes and coughed.

She looked up to see Gabriel and Carl before her.

She immediately straightened herself, "Oh my gosh. Are you alright?" asking Gabriel all worried.

"I think you should be asking yourself that same question," he whispered smiling.

"I think that I just passed out because of all of the commotion and all," she explained.

"Poor little weakling," Carl said sadly.

"I'm not a weakling! Neither are you, nor you," she said pointing from Van Helsing and then to Carl, "Did you make it alright?" she said looking Gabriel in his eyes.

"I'm okay. Thanks to you. Thanks for saving my life," he said cupping a hand to her cheek.

"Your welcome," she smiled.

Carl rolled his eyes and said, "Can we leave now? Staying here is giving me the creeps especially with you two lovebirds around."

Anna was about to make a comment on that when Gabriel caught her off, "Yes. Lets."

She was getting up when a sharp pain hit her head.

"Are you alright?" Carl asked.

"Don't worry. I'll make it," she said after Van Helsing gave her a hand and helped her down the stairs.

A sudden shock hit her that she never felt before. Gabriel must've felt it too since he seemed a little started of it as well.

They just smiled and they let go.

Anna couldn't explain what she had felt about him. Sure he was a warrior. A little gruff. A little tough. But he was so mysterious and so handsome. Not a beautiful handsome but he was in his own unique way.

"How do we get back?" Carl said as they made their way through the castle and back to where they had arrived through the vortex like dimension that separated the castle belonging to the Valerious' with the one that once belonged to Dracula.

"The ring. You still have it don't you? Gabriel, hand me your ring," answered Anna holding out her hand out in front of him.

"Of course," said Carl, "It can be the key of return! Why George! I think I've got it!!"

"My name's Gabriel," said Van Helsing.

Carl rolled his eyes again," It's an expression!" he explained sarcastically, "Now with the ring then!" he exclaimed.

Van Helsing hesitated before giving the ring to Anna.

"Now there has to be somewhere here that this must go into…" she started.

"If I may," said Carl taking it from her, "It should be right around here…Ah! Here it is!" he said when he uncovered a hidden lock on the wall near the portal door that had room enough to fit the ring in.

"No! I'll take it. We are going to my place after all," she said taking it back. Slowly and carefully, everyone watched as she placed it in position and it began to glow an eerie bright neon green.

"My god! It's working!" said a very surprised Carl.

The door soon was opened.

"Ladies first," said Gabriel.

"Very well," said Anna as she walked through and he followed. Carl quickly made his way through but reached for the key ring in time so it could close and they could still have it.

"Just in case," he replied as he saw their looks towards him.

"In case of what?" Anna asked.

"In case anymore evil is to come back."

"You mean…," started Gabriel.

"If there is one thing I know about monsters is that you should always expect the unexpected. They always come crawling back."

Anna gave Gabriel and nervous look.

"But not to worry," replied Carl, "I'm sure that he should be gone for a while now."

"How long?"

"However long our hero can save us," he said giving Van Helsing a look.

"I think that we should go check on the people of Transylvania. They must be worried and scared. We need to assure them now that everything is alright," he said as he began walking to the front door.

"You think they'll be grateful?" asked Carl as he carefully remembered their reactions to the so-called strangers when they first arrived to this far off land.

"There's only one way in finding out," he said opening the doors ready to face what would come.
