Well, it's the first time I'm writing something in English. I can read it and understand it very well, but I don't write anything since High School (ages ago).

So, I wrote it a couple of years ago, but in Portuguese and now I'm translating it. If you'd like to read all the story in English let me know. Otherwise I'll only publish it here in Portuguese.

I still love Ethanessa and I think they deserved better. I couldn't get over the end of 3rd season so I wrote another end.

Let me know if you like it.

VANESSA: It hurts me more than I thought it would... seeing you.

ETHAN: You need to come with me...now.

VANESSA: And go where? They will hunt me to the end of days.

ETHAN: I can protect you

VANESSA: No, you can't. No one can.

ETHAN: Then we'll fight him.

VANESSA: It's not him, it's me. Look at me. This is what I am. And this is what I've done. Brought this terrible darkness to the world.

ETHAN: Vanessa. Please. Vanessa.

VANESSA: And where is she? When did we lose her, Ethan? She was standing in a quiet room, gazing upa t a cross. She reached out, took it from the wall... and put it in the fire. And then she was lost. And so alone.

ETHAN: You are not alone. You never were. I have stood at the very edge. I have looked into the abyss. If I'd taken one more step, I would have fallen. But no mare how far I ran away from God, he was still waiting ahead.

VANESSA: Not for me.

ETHAN: For us all.

VANESSA: My battle must end. You know that. Or there will never be peace on Earth. Let it end.

ETHAN: Don't ask it.

VANESSA: I don't have to. You know you have a destiny. It's why we first met. It's why you're here now. You must help me defeat the forces of darkness and deny them their prize for all time.

ETHAN: No!

VANESSA: Please... Ethan. – sobbing softly. – Let it end.

ETHAN: With a kiss.

VANESSA: with a kiss.

ETHAN: with love.

VANESSA: with love.

ETHAN: Our Father, who art in Heaven, Hallowed by thy name. The Kingdom come... Thy will be done, on Earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses. As we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us no tinto temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the Kingdom, and the Power and the Glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

SWEET: You don't mean anything to her anymore. Where's your God now, Wolf?

ETHAN: Here.

Ethan turns and shoot against Dr. Sweet. A fatal shoot hits him in the heart and he falls.

SWEET: You can't kill me. – he says gasping.

ETHAN: Maybe I can.

SWEET: I'll be back. – says in a weak voice.

ETHAN: And I'll be here.

Dr. Sweet dies. As soon as he takes the final breath all the creatures that are attacking Sir Malcolm, Catriona, Victor e Dr. Seward desappear. The darkness dissipates and Vanessa falls down.

Ethan holds her and carries her back to Sir Malcolm's mansion.

They lay Vanessa on her bed, her vital signs are too weak. "Barely alive", says Victor, in some kind of a deep coma.

SEWARD: After all she's been through nor medicine, nor religion can explain. We shall wait.

ETHAN: How long?

VICTOR: We don't know.

Etahn seats besides Vanessa's bed and stand by her side all the time. While she's unconscious he tells her all the adventures he lived in America. He talks about his father and about the apaches, he tells her his true history and secrets. He doesn't know if she can hears him, but it keeps him calm.

The days go on and Vanessa remains unconscious, she doesn't react to any external stimulus.

The full moon approaches. Ethan needs to be gone all night, even he doesn't want to leave Vanessa.

Ethan goes to Sir Malcolm's bedroom. Sir Malcolm is staring at a picture of his children, it's another one, a new one, in this picture there are Mina, Peter and Vanessa.

ETHAN: Sir Malcolm, sorry to bother you, but I need a favor. I'm going out tonight, could you...

MALCOLM: Stay with her?

Ethan nods.

MALCOLM: Sure, she is my daughter now.

Ethan goes out for the night.

In Vanessa's bedroom, Sir Malcolm hangs a new cross on the wall, in the same place she used to have one. He fluffes her pillow and start to walk around the bedroom. He finds out the box with all letters Vanessa wrote to Mina. He reads the recipient's name on the envelopes and strokes it gently.

Vanessa slowly open her eyes. Sir Malcolm approches the bed with tears in his eyes. She open her eyes and looks confused. He hugs her. "Thank God!".

He touches her hair and look into her eyes.

VANESSA: Ethan?

MALCOLM: He needed to go out, but he'll be back in the morning. – he takes a deep breath, controlling his emotions. – Do you mind if I leave you alone for a while? I'm going to get Victor.

Vanessa nods still confused.

A few moments later, Victor arrives to examine her. He checks her heart, her pulse and if she responds to visual commands.

VICTOR: Miss Ives, do you remember what happened?

VANESSA: I don't know

VICTOR: What's the last thing you remember?

VANESSA: I don't know

VICTOR: Try to

VANESSA: I should be dead... Ethan... do you?

VICTOR: No. – he coughs – We just brought you home.

VANESSA: Dracula?

VICTOR: I think he won't be a problem for a while, Miss Ives.

VANESSA: He will be back, you know... they always do.

VICTOR: I believe that at the moment, the best thing you should do is to rest, Miss Ives. We will discuss this with Sir Malcolm later. You just went through a deep trauma. Take a rest.

Victor leaves the room and let her alone to rest. She notices the new cross hanging on the wall and stares at ir for a while.
