In Siberia

"Boy, Dracula sure loves the cold places." complained Carl. "Aren't you cold Van Helsing?You're always wearing that same trench coat." she asked worriedly. "No. How about you Shadow? You ok?" he asked the demoness."Nope."she replied. She didn't feel the cold cause she was a demon. They found a giant fortress.
"There it is." Angel pointed to it.

Inside the castle

The team went deeper and deeper into the castle, until they ended up into the ballroom. Suddenly they heard,
a clapping sound. "Bravo Angel. You've done well." a voice said. They all turned around only to find Dracula.
Angel turned to wisper "I'm sorry Gabriel." and she headed to Dracula's side. Shadow gave her an evil glare.
"I told you we couldn't trust her." Shadow told Gabriel. But something very very surprizing happened,
Dracula slapped Angelique so hard there was a red mark on her cheek. "Angel,my love. You didn't think I would find out?" he yelled at her. Shadow smirked. Dracula turned her head to the huntress. "You find that funny Elizabeth?" he asked her. "DON'T EVER CALL ME THAT!" Shadow lost it. Her eyes turned a blood red.
Her nail grew longer and sharper and a blue aura surrounded her. Carl ran behind Van Helsing. Shadow's dark blue tail was waving side to side. "Step aside Elizabeth. I want Van Helsing." Dracula asked 'politly.
Angelique turned into her vampire creature form and attacked Shadow. The monster hunter took out his cross bow and pointed it at Dracula. The prince of darkness turned into his true self and attacked Gabriel.
He shot the arrows at Dracula's heart.It didn't stop the foul creature. Dracula pounced on the knight of the Holy Order. Van Helsing took out a dagger blessed with holy oil and stuck it into his stomatch. Dracula let out a cry and stabbed Van Helsing right above the heart with his claws. The hunter yelled at the top of his lungs.
"GABRIEL!" yelled Shadow. Her eyes burned with fire. She took out the stake hidden in her boot and shoved it right in the heart of Angelique. She turned into dust. "ANGEL!" yelled Vladisaus. Shadow took that chance to remove Dracula's unbeating heart and blass it with holy water. "NOOOOOOOO!VAN HELSING!" yelled Draculia for the last time and he turned to dust. Van Helsing lyied there on the floor coughing blood.
Carl and Shadow ran to his side. "What do we do?" panicked Carl. Shadow took one of her swords and slit her wrist. Dark blue blood started flowing. "Are you crazy?" Carl kept panicked panicking. Shadow said no word. She put her wrist in Van helsing's mouth. "Don't ask questions just drink." instructed Shadow.
Gabriel did what was told. He drank, but the taste was displeasing. "Carl remove his coat and his shirt." the young lady ordered and the fryier did what was told. The injured warrior slowly stopped drinking. "Try to keep drinking. Just try." she pleaded. He kept going. Carl watched Van Helsing's wound heal. "Shadow!It's working!" he said joyously. The trio felt the earth shake. "The castle it's crumbling!" Carl started panicking again. Shadow threw Van Helsing over her shoulder and grabbed Carl by the arm. She left up in the air and headed to exit as fast as she could. Carl was screaming at the top of his lungs. Once they were out and far enough from the falling castle, Shadow took off her coat and put it over the almost fully healed Gabriel.

Back at the Vatican

"Well done." The cardinal congratulated them. Carl went back to his inventing. For now, the order had no more missions for the trio.

Outside

There stood Van Helsing and Shadow. "It was Great working with you Shadow." said Van Helsing. They both staired into each other's eyes.They both slowly inched tehir faces closer and closer together and they kissed. Gabriel returned hers and shereturned his. It became more and more passionate. "I love you Gabriel. I've loved you even before we worked together."she told him. "So you were jealous of Angelique?" he teased.
She hit him and they kissed. "I love you too. But how can you love me even before we worked together?" he asked. "You'll remeber when the time is right." she replied.

Later that night

I'm not going into details but, they ended up sleeping together. Let me tell you Gabriel is not only good at monster hunting.

In the small hours of the morning

Van Helsing was still asleep. Shadow took a quick shower and got dressed. She left a note next to his bed table and her cherished pendant. She never took it off until now. She kissed him on the forehead and he awakened but she dissapeared. "Shadow?" he asked. She was gone. He looked over to his bed table and read the note.

Dear Gabriel,

I do love you with all my heart, but it's just to easy if we just end it like this. You and I both know and we both like it the hard way. Keep this pendant as a reminder of my love for you. Till we meet again.
Love,
Shadow

Gabriel smiled after he read that letter. He wasn't sad that she left.

At the Vatican

"Cardinal. Do you not know how much power Shadow has in her body? She killed dracula in less than 5 minutes!" said carl to Cardinal Jinette. "Yes. But, she couldn't have taken him down by herself." replied his eminency."How?"asked the fryar. "Because...it complicated but at least it all worked out." explained Jinette.

A day or so later

Van Helsing returned to the vatican after some rest. "Hey! Good to see you back Van Helsing. Where's Shadow?" greeted Carl. "I don't know. I'm sure she'll come back." answered Van Helsing. "I'm sorry." said Carl."For what?" the hunter asked. "Because she left you." Carl replied. "Don't be." ended the legend.
