Thank you so much for the reviews! Oh and Star Mage 1, to answer your question, maybe I will make Gabriel an Archangel (actually I don't know what it means, lol, I'm not catholic…) Does anyone know what an archangel is?

Reliving What They Lost

Dracula and he's brides arrived on the forest grounds. The area was dark and stars twinkled peacefully in the sky, making Dracula's stomach sick just watching it. The mud was stuck on their shoes. Aleera cackled with triumph. Marishka grinned uncontrollably and Verona smiled.

"Master, shall we go hunt them down now?" Marishka hissed, eyes glinting dangerously. The count licked his lips and nodded. "Yes we shall go. Now that that pesky Valerious is dead, we only have that ridiculous Monk and Van Helsing left," Dracula snarled frustratingly and smiled evilly. Yes, Anna Valerious was really dead. She would have made a good bride if Van Helsing had not come! He thought and shook the thought away. He had three Brides now. That was enough.

"Then let us go find them then, Master!" Verona spoke with a fanged smile and spread arms, quickly changing into a pale white, pale vampire. Her spread arms changed into wings and her human form disappeared with her clothes except the distinct familiar human face of Verona. The other two remaining brides changed into similar shapes as well. Dracula changed as well, spreading he's wings. He was more muscular in shape and more devilish in face, nothing human like left in the count. "Let us GO!" he roared and flew up in the air. The brides followed him and cackled, the horrible sound echoing through the Vaseria.

Before Dracula and he's Brides return…

Van Helsing, Carl and Anna returned to the town and was greeted with happiness, many gasping as they saw Anna in her ghost form. Anna, delighted to see her people, hugged them and talked excitedly to them, sometimes glancing quickly at Van Helsing, who seemed to be grinning as well.

Carl meanwhile, was talking to a girl about he's age, who blushed at the things he was talking to her. She smiled and talked with him until Carl said something unpleasant to her and eventually led to slapping him and leaving him there. Anna laughed softly as Carl looked a bit unhappily at the direction of the girl's back.

"Nice try, Carl," Van Helsing and patted he's shoulder, laughing, after he had talked to some of the villagers. Carl looked at the ground sadly but then lightened up again.

"So Anna, how was Heaven like?" Carl asked her after they had gone inside the Valerious Manor and relaxed on the chairs. Van Helsing was sleeping softly, he's stomach rising and then falling, and looking more peaceful then he had for days.

Anna fell silent for a little while until she answered, "I saw Velkan and my family."

Carl looked up and gasped by instinct. Then he calmed himself and looked at her with shock. "O-oh! Really? Well that is great!"

Anna smiled and looked at him rather bitterly. Now she missed Velkan. Was it a right thing to have come here after all? Her mind questioned. But she ignored the thought. Of course it was, because now she got to see them happy and well.

"Heaven was fabulous and beautiful. It was full of light and happiness. Nothing evil seemed to linger there. The bible says that animals do not have souls (A/N: This is from memory from some movie I remember, lol. Sorry if I'm wrong!) but they do. They lived in the Heaven as much as the humans have. There were no devils, monsters, nothing evil, really."

Carl gaped, he's mouth open like a fish might gape. "I wish I could at God and ask all the questions the bible says is true and right!" he shouted.

Anna nodded with a smile and walked up to the big window that showed a grand view of the Vaseria and all of Transylvania. The stars above twinkled like gems; the moon shed light on the forest and the village below. The village seemed to be asleep, dark so you could see the little lamps and the shed of moonlight and the light from some homes that were still awake.

"I've never seemed to appreciate much of what was in the village because I have lived here for so long and defeated evil from killing the innocent with my family. Even when I meet you and Van Helsing, I seem to be fighting. But now that evil is gone, I feel peace. I appreciate the view in front of me and everything else around. Who knew what Heaven might do to you?" she spoke and laughed softly and turned back to Carl, who looked surprised at what Anna has spoken.

"It's good to have you back Anna, it really is."

Van Helsing stirred and groaned faintly and slowly his eyes opened, a little groggily at first.

"Anna?" he spoke. "Yes?" Anna answered. Van Helsing sighed with relief. "Good you're here. I thought I lost you."

"You'll never lose me, not for a million years you won't," Anna spoke with a comforting smile, kissing Van Helsing on the cheeks, hugging him from the top of the chair, touching he's shoulder lovingly. Carl grinned but sighed at the sight of the two. Why can't I find a decent person to love and share my friend with? He thought and he's mind answered sarcastically with a mean reply. He shut it out. Just when he was nodding off from listening Van Helsing talk to Anna, chatting about what had happened after she was 'gone for a little while', out of the corner he saw a familiar white flash. He immediately got up yelling and shouting frantically as Van Helsing and Anna looked at him confused but with serious expressions.

"What is it Carl. What did you see?" Van Helsing shouted and looked back at the window, which didn't have something familiar flying around. "Yes what is it?" Anna asked as well.

"V-V-V…"Carl muttered with horror, a lump in he's throat that made him unable to speak. But the two knew what Carl was talking about. "Vampire," Van Helsing and Anna finished for Carl in unison as they immediately pulled out their weapons. Except Anna's saber was lost, so she grabbed a near by sword and held it tightly in her pale and ghastly hands. Van Helsing was held two big and shiny pistols that looked dangerous in he's grip.

"They can't come in without getting invited! For now we're safe!" Anna shouted, backing away from the door. Until she bumped into something silky and familiar. Something chilly and horrifying that she stopped, her heart beating hard. She saw the expressions on two of her companions and she knew what they saw. She dared not turn her head as she heard the familiar voice that haunted her dreams when she was still alive.

"Who said we weren't invited in?"

A/N: Umm well I was gonna finished off with 'Hello Anna' or something like that but I thought maybe the 'who said we weren't invited in?' phrase was much better. To me anyways, lol. Hope you liked that chapter! It's kind of long, comparison to Chapter three, which was super short. So what do you think will happen? Lol Dun DUN! ... I'm not gonna tell you! Hehe You guess for yourself! So I'm going now! Thanks for the reviews for chap. Two – Three and please review for this chapter as WELL! Thanks!
