Ok so after much thought, I have decided to continue the story and retype my last chapter. I am still looking for Beta Reader, so please keep that in mind.

Enjoy the rewrite, whilst I type another chapter.

Anna edged away from the doorway. What was going on? She quietly started to turn to head back upstairs when the door opened. Her heart sank, she had just been caught.

"Anna! What are you doing down here?" Velkan snarled, as he grabbed his sisters wrist harshly and pulling her to his chest. "You shouldn't be be here!"

"Velkan! Let me go!" She struggled against him, using all her might to break away and start running up the stairs. Her wounds throbbed although they had healed a little and to top off the pain now her wrist hurt from the force her brother had placed on it. She dashed up the stairs as quickly as possible, her barefeet giving away her speed, and where she was. She could hear her brothers heavy footsteps behind her and she felt her heart race even faster, she could hear the blood pumping in her ears.

"Anna! Come back, I'm sorry I didn't mean to harm you! You startled me thats all! " Velkan called out. That's right...run little princess you won't escape.

She made it to the first level of the manor and took off for the nearest exit. To her horror there stood three of the servents of the manor, blobking the only way she knew to leave the castle. Their eyes glittered a demonic crimson, they smiled coldly as they slowly walked towards her, they were intent on keeping her here, it was their orders to keep her here or pay with their lives. Anna skidded to a stop, her eyes scanning the room for a weapon or an exit-anything that would get her out of this mess. To her dismay she found nothing, she blinked back tearsof frustration and pain, pain which coursed through her with an unbelievable amount of strength.

"Its no use, little sister. You won't escape- you can't escape." Velkan appeared behind her, hardly even winded from chasing her and now he effectivlt blocked her from running back the way she came. His smile was sickeningly sweet, maybe even a little loving in a sick and sadistic way. Like the parent who strikes their child onl y to coddle them after.

"Velkan..." She turned. "What the hell is wrong with you? " She couldn't believe this was her brother. Her big brother that chased away the monsters in the night when they were children, or made up bedtime stories that always made her laugh herself to sleep when they were children. Something was terribly wrong, and now, she wished she had listened to Van Helsing.

"You'll understand soon enough, dear Anna." He strode up to her and tried to grab her again, figuring he had her in his grasp once more. She looked easily deceived.

Anna quickly ducked him and took off down the corridor, having anticpated the move - he had done that to her several times when they used to train together. She ran down the corridor again, shivering from fear, pain and utter exhaustion. I have to find Van Helsing. She kept running, unable to find even a weapon to aid her she reached an exit, wrenched open the door and flew outside into the woods. God help me.

"Faster Carl!" Gabriel rode his horse faster, digging his heels into the animals sides and slapping its hide. He had no time to waste, he had to get to Anna before anything else happened to her.

"P-perhaps we could slow d-down j-just a little?" Carl stammored, reluctantly treating his horse in the same manner. He had no choice if he expected to keep up with his friend.

"Carl!" Gabriel glanced behind him, a look of amusement resting on his face for only a moment before it turned serious again. There was no time to slow down now, they were far to close.

"Y-Yes Gabriel" he got the point and sped his horse up even more. It was mid day by now. less then 8 hours to sway Anna to stay with him. God Anna, hold on. I'm coming for you. He prayed silently for Annas safety.

"There it is!" Carl yelled as they slowed their pace a little, a dark castle towering up after they rode to the top of a hill.

Van Helsing eyed the dreary manor, its dark stone, and gloomy aura made him want to cringe. it stood out against the bright sky of the day like a sore thumb or one lone red flower in a field full of weeds. He dismounted his hourse as they drew nearer and approached it slowly. Oh Anna...where are you? He prepared himself to look for her when he was suddenly knocked to the ground.

"Wh-" he drew a dagger as he fell, ready to fight when he looked up into the fearful blue eyes of the woman who had claimed his heart. His voice barely a whisper he said. "Anna."
