A/N: I am soooo sorry I haven't updated in forever. I've been debating on how to end this story. I was going to try to do it all in one chapter, but that didn't work. I used a lot from the movie and just want to say, if you recognize it it's not mine.
I'd like to say thanks again to all of my great reviewers!

The Death of Aleera
Anna and Carl stood in front of the cure staring at it. "Go ahead, grab it", said Anna. The friar looked over at her and said, "Why me?" "Because you're the genius." "Sure, now I'm the genius. You go ahead and grab it. If there's one thing I've learned it's never be the first one to put your hands in a viscous material."
Just then they heard a high-pitched screech. They turned to see Aleera hanging from the ceiling showing her hideous face. She smiled and said, "Did I scare you?" Carl took a few steps back and in a weak voice said, "No." Aleera smiled once again and said, "Then maybe I need to try a little harder." Anna took a quick look around and then pushed the container that the cure was in on Aleera. The liquid splashed all over Aleera's face. She grabbed her face and screeched.
Carl jumped back and said, "Viscous material, what did I tell you!" Anna looked around and saw the cure rolling on the floor. She pointed and said, "Get it! Get it!" She grabbed a piece of glass that still had liquid in it and splashed the liquid on the bars. Carl ran to the cure and picked it up. "Ooh hot, hot." Anna turned to him and said, "Come on, come on. We've got to get the antidote to Van Helsing. Go! Go!" Carl ran through the newly formed gap in the bars. Anna started out after him but was grabbed by Aleera. She turned and saw Aleera's face half melted off. Aleera kept a hold of Anna and said, "You can't go until I say you can go." Anna turned to Carl and said, "Keep running, Carl." Aleera shouted, "Come here! And I say you can go when you're dead!"
Aleera then threw Anna against the wall. Anna fell to the floor. She now had blood flowing from her head. She slowly got to her feet and looked around. She ran and flipped off a wall grabbing a torch. When she turned around Aleera was right in front of her. Aleera smiled and blew out Anna's torch. Then Aleera began to twirl around the room, laughing the whole time. All but one torch in the room went out. She stopped right in front of Anna and blew out the torch right behind her. Anna blinked and Aleera was gone.
Carl ran down the stairs of the tower onto the bridge connecting the two towers. He stopped as he saw lightning crash into the bridge. "Oh my God", he said to himself as he watched more lightning crash into the bridge. He fell to the ground as the lightning crashed again. He slowly got up and was then knocked back to the ground. It was Igor. Carl looked at him and saw that he was holding an electrified rod. "Uh oh", Carl said as he jumped up. Igor laughed as he chased the friar down the bridge.
Anna walked cautiously around the room looking for Aleera. Anna's heart began beating faster. She knew Aleera was there, but she didn't know where. Aleera quietly walked along the ceiling looking down at Anna. She was truly enjoying this. She loved teasing her prey, especially Anna. Aleera glided to the floor right behind Anna. Anna turned and was knocked across the room again.
Anna slammed into the wall and fell to the ground. She hit the ground and laid there for a moment. Aleera laughed as she walked closer. Anna pushed herself up and was grabbed by a now transformed Aleera. Aleera picked up Anna by the throat. Aleera pulled Anna closer and said, "Be happy in the knowledge that I will weep over your dead body." Aleera laughed and then licked the blood off the side of Anna's face.
Aleera's fangs grew as she drew closer to Anna's neck. Anna tried to break free but it was no use. She knew there was nothing she could do to get away. Aleera slowly came closer and closer. Anna could feel Aleera's icy breath on her neck. Her fangs now touched Anna's neck. Anna closed her eyes and waited for the bite.
Instead she heard a blood-chilling scream. It was Aleera. Anna opened her eyes as Aleera dropped her. Anna watched Aleera as she screamed. Something was wrong. Aleera was thrashing about until she exploded into ash. A metal stake dropped to the ground. "What the…", Anna said as she saw Aleera's killer. A hand reached down to help Anna up, "Come on, we don't have much time", said a voice. "Verona?"
So what did you think? Please review! I'll try to update soon.
