The brides gaped out across the battle, every single person was locked in mortal combat.
"Oh God, we're loosing" whispered Misha.
"We will never manage it" cried Olivia desperately.
"Oh God" snarled Verona.
They stood there for what seemed a long time, debating in their minds whether or not to attack, not that they really had a choice if they ever wanted to see their men again.
"Attack?" asked Corinthia.
"Attack" confirmed Verona.
"ATTACK!" bellowed Aleera.
They army went charging down onto the fighting men, they charged on through the battle, avoiding all their men, and trampling the others, with in mere seconds, Misha's sword was dripping with blood and all her instincts were were burning, she was a born killing machine, a born vampire. Men fell before her in terror as she dismounted and began slashing and cutting with deadly precision, calculating her every move. A man rushed at her screaming and she caught him on her blade, pulling it sideways and ripping his body in half, all were this easy; she ripped one in half with her sher strength, another as beaten to death by her fists, all that mattered to at this minute Misha Draguilia was killing, killing all her enemies. But suddenly a sight of two figures whirling and cutting at each other some distance off took her mind completely off the battle; her Gabriel was fighting with Viktor Vesorion, if she didn't get to them in time her Gabriel was going to die.
She dashed off, a man blocked her way and she drove her fist into his abdomen, hearing a satisfying crack as his sternum broke, and slid her sword over his throat, another met a far more painful end, his body mangled and missing several pieces. She smashed through them, her only thought was Van Helsing. But more kept coming, surging up to take the places of those who died, this only fueled the burning fire inside her. She was starting to use her powers, two fell drained of their blood. Another was ripped and beaten to death, she was a whirlwind of claws and teeth now, and still they kept coming. Finally she was forced to take drastic action, she drained one last man and leaped into the air, she flew high over the battle field, searching for her target then she saw them, still locked in combat, she landed and began killing again, as long as they were in sight, she was fine.
But unnoticed by Misha, things were starting to take a turn for the worse.
She was in the middle of painfully killing one rather annoying man who refused to die, she had bitten him, kicked, stabbed him several times and bitten him again but he still refused to bloody well die.
In the act of cutting his head off she spun around and found that she couldn't see her love any longer, fear exploding inside her she took off and searched for them, she found them easily but seeing them made her heart do a back flip, Viktor Vesorion was about to kill her lover, she dived and landed behind them.
Viktor's sword was coming down.
Suddenly he stopped.
Van Helsing gasped, a sword point was poking through his heart, a familiar blond head emerged over his shoulder.
"Teach you to mess with me and mine, bastard" snarled Misha, pulling the sword out with a flourish, she turned and cut his head in two.
"Gabriel, are you alright?" she cried, kneeling down beside him.
"How did you get here?" asked Van Helsing, he could feel himself slipping.
"We came to save you, you stupid man" Misha was crying now as she saw the gaping gash in Van Helsing's armor. "God this is bad, you are so stupid"
"Misha don't cry" said Van Helsing faintly.
"I'm going to take you to the edge" said Misha.
With that she picked him up and took off, flying to the edge of the battle and laying him down.
"Don't you dare die on me" snarled Misha, taking off again and flying into the battle.
But as she fought now, she fought for something else, for what she knew was right, and for her Gabriel.
Men went flying, slashed and torn, only one thing mattered; Gabriel.
An sudden shout made her heart lift. "Victory, we a victory!"
She took off and flew over the battle, searching out those who were alive and finishing them off with her gun. Then she flew back over to her Gabriel, but was both surprised and furious to find Anna kneeling next to him, looking after him. The nerve!
Misha decided to sneak up on her. "And what pray tell me, dear sister, gives you the right to touch my man?"
"Your man" said Anna disbelievingly. "He is mine"
"In your dreams" snarled Misha.
"Oh dear, what has put your pants in a not?" asked Anna.
"You" said Misha. "You knew all about this from the beginning, you knew about The Skull, about Viktor who I just killed by the way, and you stupid pride got in the way, you thought that because we are vampires, we have no rights, well I ask you, two years ago my sister, Aleera bit you before you killed her, does this mean that you have no rights?"
"I am no vampire" snarled Anna.
"Oh yes you are" said Misha. "I could always drop you from a height if you don't believe me, I'm sure you'll be kind enough to show us your Hell Beast body"
"You bitch" snarled Anna. "He loved me first, he loved ME! And then a wangled my way back, but you just had to turn up and make him love you. You just had to take him from me!"
"Oh, I took him from you did I" said Misha coldly. "You died! I had no idea that I was breaking some law or something by falling in love with him!"
"Well you were" snarled Anna. "You should have known that he already loved someone, and that that someone was trying her best to come back"
"How should I have known?" asked Misha, now completely furious.
"It's not that you should have know" said Anna. "It's that you should have left well enough alone"
"Ooh" snarled Misha. "So you think you're smart now do you, huh. I didn't know that some little like you already had a claim on him, and quite frankly, I am ashamed to be related to you"
"Well isn't it lucky then that I have to go back once Gabriel is safe" said Anna.
"Wh..what do you mean" said Misha, hardly daring to believe.
"I was only sent here temporarily" said Anna. "I have to go back soon, now that the war is done, I'll go back to heaven, God only sent me to make certain his guy on land was okay"
Misha fought the desire to say YAY! And put an indifferent expression on her face. "You're leaving?"
"How many times do I have to say it, yes!" yelled Anna who was starting to feel really annoyed.
"Right, no need to yell" said Misha, she was now barely able to contain her joy.
"Misha, you are okay, oh thank God" Aleera came running over and hugged Misha tightly.
"Misha, we won, we won, of yeah" came Olivia and Corinthia's voices.
"Is Gabriel alright?" came Dracula's voice.
"I will be once we get the bloody bullet out" said Van Helsing from the ground.
"So you two are getting along now, huh" said Misha, a grin creeping across her face. "I am so glad you finally put your differences aside, I thought you were both idiots when you were fighting!"
"Me too" said Verona, smacking Dracula upside his face.
"Whoa whoa whoa" said Dracula. "Since when am I in trouble?"
"You insufferable bastard" snarled Verona. "That is the last time you do anything that has not been cleared by a full counsel, understood"
"What do you mean, 'full counsel'?" asked Dracula.
"Every single thing you do now has to be verified by us" said Aleera. "You could have been killed by your stupidity!"
"I'm never going to hear the end of this am I?" said Dracula.
"Oh, and did I mention that you are grounded" said Verona. "I will not tolerate that sought of behavior our from you Vladislous!"
"And you, Gabriel, God help you once you are healed" said Misha. "I swear that you wont be able to sit down for a week"
"Okay, this is the day" said Olivia. "I declare hell will freeze over, Gabriel Van Helsing and Vladislous Draguilia have been told off by women, this is gonna go down in history"
"Yeah, girls, make sure that neither of them can sit down for a week!" said Corinthia.
"We will, Corinthia, we will" said Verona, then she turned to Dracula. "And you, if you ever treat us like we can't fight and are weak again, you will be grounded for a year, and you wont be able to sit down for most of it!"
"Oh, you lot should never have been aloud to fight" sighed Van Helsing. "They are now the men in the relationship"
"To right we are" said Marishka.
"Hey, girls, look at Anna" they all turned.
Anna was standing facing the south, where there was now a faint glow that seemed to be growing very rapidly.
"What the new day brings, none shall know" said Anna in a faraway voice as though she was in a kind of trance. "My duty is done" suddenly she seemed to dissolve, the wind blowing her away like smoke, taking away everything, and at the same time, all the bodies of Viktor's men vanished, all the blood was gone, all seemed clean and new, the fires had been put out, the air was clear and the sun was rising in a fire of red, all the faces had turned to it, illuminated by its glow as the sun rose; but they didn't die, instead they felt pleasantly warmed, but they had heart beats again, they were alive.
"I can't believe this" whispered Aleera. "I have a heart beat!"
"We all do, we're normal again" cried Verona as they stood there staring at the sun.
