Chapter 23
A friend's death, my return to my own land...
Anna panted heavily as she ran into the room dripping wet with the rain. She suddenly stopped as she heard the growling of a beast. She then saw with no doubt, Van Helsing in his werewolf form looking down at the fallen remains of Dracula. 'Now or never,' she thought as she then started to run at him. "Velkan!" she softly whispered, asking her brother to give her strength. Van Helsing sharply turned as he heard someone behind him and saw someone running at him with something. He then bared his teeth and roared as he then ran at her before pouncing her onto the lounger by the Gothic window. Anna screamed when he pounced at her but then she fell silent when he landed on top of her on the lounger.
Carl came running in and spotted Van Helsing still in werewolf form. He then took out the silver stake and extended it. "God forgive me," he said softly before he started to run at Van Helsing ready to stab him in the back.
Suddenly Van Helsing sharply turned and grasped Carl's wrist, roaring at him. Carl screamed at him as he saw Van Helsing' wolf teeth. But slowly Van Helsing started to calm down and his eyes recognized Carl. He slowly looked down to see the needle that had the cure but was now empty. He slowly pulled it out before he dropped it to the floor and then slowly looked at Anna who was still as a lifeless doll looking at the direction where Ana was.
Carl's eyes widen as he slowly backed away with his mouth half opened. Van Helsing looked at him with a worried puppy look as he asked without speaking what was wrong. "She's dead," Carl said with a sad expression on his face. Van Helsing's eyes watered before he looked at Anna's body and lifted her body cradled in his arms. He then howled in his cry of pain, slowly changing into a man's cry of sorrow as he changed back to human form cured by the curse. He held his face against hers as he softly cried for her. Carl only looked off and away as he looked both sad and shocked before there came the feeling of something in the room with them. He then looked up and screamed in shock as he saw the ghost of Valerious the Elder looking at Van Helsing and Anna.
Van Helsing looked at Carl to see why he was screaming and then saw Valerious looking shocked. "Gabriel, thank you," he said softly before he then turned to where Anastasia was laying. "Forgive me Anastasia," he said with a sorrowful face.
"I only wish I could've saved you and my son that day," he added as Van Helsing and Carl saw Ana's still body. "Ana!" Van Helsing cried before he gently settled Anna's body on the lounger before he ran to Ana the same time Carl did. Van Helsing lifted her up to rest in his arms as if she was made of glass, sitting up. "Ana!" Van Helsing said as he looked down at her pale face that the only color was the red of the blood that was leaking out of the corner of her mouth. Van Helsing and Carl cringed as they saw deep claw marks across her chest and stomach that no doubt that Van Helsing had caused in his werewolf form.
"Oh, my God," he whispered softly as he saw the claw marks. "Ana, I'm so sorry," he said softly before Ana softly moaned. "Stupid ass," she moaned as she tried to open her eyes. "Always reckless," she added which made Van Helsing laugh. "Glad to know you still got your sense of humor," he said with a relieved smile on his face as Carl tried to examine her wounds. Van Helsing then noticed Ana's neck as she tried to look around. "Ana, did Dracula bite you?" he asked with a worry as the thought came to him. "Did you drink his blood?" he asked her as he gently shook her trying to not only keep her awake but also to have her look at him.
As she was about to answer him, her entire body started to glow a golden color. "Carl! What's happening?" he asked as fear started to fill inside him. Carl looked at her speechless for once in his life he didn't know what was happening.
"I-I don't know," he said as Ana then started to glow white and slowly started to disappear in his arms. "ANASTASIA!" he shouted before she completely vanished into thin air. "She's gone...," Carl softly said in shock. "But-But where?" Van Helsing asked softly as grief struck him again and he started to softly sob.
