Van Helsing watched as Gabriel walked out of the library and down the hallway. A couple minutes passed, and Gabriel walked into a white and cloudy area. The same place that Vlad had been, except that Gabriel was not dead.

Gabriel looked around confused. Suddenly, a voice echoed through the room.

" Hello Gabriel Van Helsing."

" God? Am I dead."

Van Helsing watched, shocked that both men had immediately realized who the voice was.

" No, Gabriel. You are just in a bit of trouble. Remember Count Vladislaus Dragulia?"

Gabriel winced at the name

" He has descended to Hell, made a pact with the devil, and his now in the room where you left him to die, existing as a baneful and horrific creature, and has turned your dear Verona into one of his kind."

" What "kind" is that?"

" I'm not sure. Some sort of demon, a vampire."

" What does this have to do with me?"

" You killed him, so therefore you are responsible for his become this demon." The voice paused. " I am sending you about 400 years into the future, the main era of Dracula's reign of terror. You will have no memory of these events. You will be sent to the outside of the Vatican in Rome, at least a year before it is completely necessary for you to kill him. All you will remember is your name. Nothing else. Until you kill Dracula for once and for all, you will not have your memory returned to you."

" But-----..."

" I have spoken."

Everything went black for both Van Helsing and Gabriel.

" Van Helsing?"

Van Helsing heard Carl's worried voice. Van Helsing held his head.

" Was it all a dream?"

But staring into the stream, Dracula's face returned. It had not been a dream. It was real. He had his memories back.

Deep in the fires of Hell, Dracula was back where it had all started over 400 years ago. It was completely silent, except for the weeping of Marishka and Verona. Aleera apparently did not mind this place, for she was with her Master, and that was all that mattered to her.

Dracula became deep in thought. He had known that Gabriel would have his memory returned to him after his death, so he had decided to appear everywhere when it happened. Hopefully that tormented him. He had loved Verona far more than he ever could. Ah, Verona. His love. She was the only one out of his three brides that he had ever truly loved. Marishka was odd for women of her era, which made her quite exotic, and Aleera was very obedient and eager. But none of them measured up to Verona. He still had shadows of the emotions he once had, so he had felt it when she looked at him painfully upon turning Marishka.
