Hello! I know exciting isn't it? Can you believe I started this a year ago? Man I'm such a slacker, oh well. Updating!

Anna a slid her fingernails lightly on the cool metal playfully as she spoke "You're not very skilled at lying Mr. Van Helsing" she smiled at him while looking down at her hands.

"You're here I would have thought you had other priorities"

"You know why I'm here"

"Do I?" she asked

"Its funny I never thought of you as the one to play mind games" he commented.

"Life is full of surprises"

Again her teasing was beginning to bug him, they were wasting time and he wasn't getting through to her, 'I guess I have to play her way' he thought. He thought quickly.

She quickly glanced up at him and noticed he had a small grin on his face. "Is there something else you find funny?" She asked without looking at him.

"well" he began "I just always thought you wanted to evenge your family bykilling Dracula...not joining him" he said matching her tone.

There was a sudden clear rigging sound as her nail scrapped along the metal, her smile dropped. Her eyes snapped up and met his. "Really" her stare was cold.

They both stood in the dark both eyes locked. Anna gripped the stake in her right hand intending to pull it out of his grasp, but instead of letting go he held on to it with equal strength. Her grip tightened andThey held on to each end without breaking eye contact. After a matter of seconds the stake snapped in half, the ringing of the metal echoed in the room but they still didn't look away from each other.

Anna was the first to look away; she slowly glanced down at the broken piece of metal in her hand, and then looked back up at him. They stared each other down for a few more moments, and then in almost complete unison they threw the metal aside and practically lunged for each other.

Dracula paced through the busy, very pleased with the progress and how close they were getting without interference. He herd the bellowing Frankenstein let out and looked toward the far side of the lab were the dwergi were holding him down. In an instant he was sanding beside the table looking down at him. "You should be happy, that you are finally fulfilling your purpose, giving your life is an honor" he leaned in closer "consider yourself honorable" And he smiled evilly as he stepped back and watched as the dwergi strapped him down to the table.

Van Helsing grabbed Anna by her wrist and pushed her back, slamming her back into the hard stone wall, with a force that would have killed her. He pinned her there, his dark figure looming over her, he made a low growling sound as he held her in place. He could feel her pushing against his attack trying fight back or at least break free. He felt what was left of her humanity, her pulse pumping faintly against his palm. Wait….a pulse…..?

Suddenly Anna wilted. He felt the tendons in her arm relax and watched her as she slumped against the wall. She bowed her head and her hair covering her face. She began sliding towards the ground. He was literally stunned from her sudden surrender that he still held onto her. When she final made contact with the floor a he compulsively let go. He looked at her still confused, the thought her still having a pulse honestly surprised him, the small hint of life reminded him that this wasn't a monster, this wasn't one of the devil's minions this was Anna, scared confused Anna. He cautiously knelt beside her.

Anna buried her face in her hands. He placed his hand on her shoulder she jerked her shoulder and made what looked like a failed attempt to shake it off. "I'm sorry" she apologized timidly, resting her head on her knees. She couldn't bring herself to look at him. "I'm sorry for everything" sighing she rested her head on the wall and looked up at the ceiling. "I don't know what's wrong with me" she felt his hand slide across her shoulders as her wrapped his arm around her.

"Nothings wrong with you" he pulled her closer to him, but she pulled away.

"But it's too late to do anything now"

"No it's not too late, we still have time, but it will be if you decide to give up."

This time she leaned closer "you still trust me after everything?" he nodded lightly, their faces were inches away from each other, then the next thing they knew their lips touched it was different Then the last time, this time it was innocent and the whole world seemed to disappear for that moment. Their lips parted and then she scooted closer and rested her head on his shoulder, a sudden feeling that everything was going to be fine "do you have a plan?" his arm tightened around her shoulders.

"When have I ever been without one?"

"Aw" a feminine voice suddenly spoke out; interrupting them. They both looked up to see aleera's light eyes floating in the dark. "How sweet"
