"I don't like it here," Carl muttered as Anna and him began to search certain rooms in Dracula's Castle.
"Me neither," Anna said sniffling. Her tears were dried and her eyes hurt but she still didn't want to give up the hope that her children were still alive and somewhere within the walls of the place.
She opened another door at the top of a swirling stair case and immediately her heart began to beat faster.
"They were here, Carl," she muttered, "I can feel it."
She then looked across the room and spotted Abe's Teddy.
"No…" Anna muttered as she picked it up and held it close to her. "God, save them…"
"Look," yelped Carl pointing to the ground.
Anna did so and replied, "Ashes. They look like vampire ashes….Marishka."
"How'd you know that?" Carl asked.
"Verona and Aleera attacked us right? Where was Marishka? It would make sense that during this time of their attack, Marishka was here watching them. She was always the easiest one to kill. Also, vampire ashes are always much darker than the normal human's. That only leaves Aleera and Dracula."
"What can we possibly do next?"
"They shouldn't be too far from here. C'mon let's keep on searching," she said as she walked out of the room with the teddy bear.
Gabriel walked along the vast and empty room that would usually be the place where a ball would be held.
"Gabriel…oh Gabriel…" he heard a voice say.
He turned around and with a lightening strike, there was Dracula standing in front of him.
"Dracula…"
"Yes, it is I, my old viend."
"What have you done with my children?"
"Vou mean the boy Abraham and the girl Emma?"
"Yes. Now tell me!"
"You'll just have to vind out."
"What do you mean?"
Dracula just smiled and laughed.
Meanwhile…Frank and Michael continued to pace around the area.
"Where could they be?" Frank asked.
"I don't know but keep your eyes open…shhh!" Michael said pulling them back towards the wall.
"What?"
"Shhhh! Look!" Michael whispered painting to some of the dwergies. "Those are Dracula's workers from what I have been told."
"Don't worry. I've come across them before. They are nothing new to me."
Then accidentally some rock fell and crumpled to the floor making a loud crashing noise.
"Oh no," Frank said.
Then the dwergiers pointed to their direction, spotting them, and ran forward.
"RUN!" Michael yelled as Frank obeyed and ran forward.
They tried to get away but Michael proved to be too fast and Frank too slow causing the dwergies to capture him. Michael managed to get to the door. He turned around to realize that Frank was captured and being chained.
"Frank!" he yelled.
"Go on without me please!"
"But-"
"Find the others. Save Emma and Abe! I can take care of this by myself."
"But-"
"Go!" Frank said yelling to Michael. He then noticed his hurt feelings. "I'll be fine."
"I'll help you out of this. I promise."
He then turned, opened the door, and ran.
"Tell me where they are now!"
Dracula smiled and the sound of running down the hall was heard. Lightening flashed and within a blink of an eye, Gabriel saw that he had disappeared.
"This is not over," he muttered.
He then saw Michael run towards him without Frank.
"Where's Frank?"
"Dwergies."
"We have to leave now!"
"Hurry! C'mon!"
And soon they came out running.
Once they left, Dracula re-appeared.
"Soon, angels of God. Very soon," he said before disappearing again.
