After dinner, Anna and Gabriel took Jack to bed. Gabriel helped him to change and Anna tucked him in. "Nite, Mama. Nite, Papa."
Gabriel kissed his forehead. "Good nite, Buddy."
Anna kissed his forehead and his nose. "Good nite, Baby."
Jack fell asleep and the couple went to bed themselves. Anna changed into her normal sleepwear as did Gabriel. He walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her slender waist. She leaned into him and sighed. He kissed her cheek. "You ok, Love?"
She was looking out through the balcony doors into space. "I'm just worried."
"About what? Dracula's dead. There's no more vampires to worry about."
"I'm worry about Jack and the wedding. And what's left of the warewolves? They can attack us or the village anytime they want now for food."
"Baby, we can handle the warewolves. They're not a big deal. And about Jack, he'll be fine. He just needs to adjust. He's lived in the orphanage for a few years. And he's happy with the arrangement of living here already. He just needs to adjust at being the new prince. I mean, he's taking your brother's place in that way and I know it's hard, but he'll learn quickly and we'll be fine. All of us. If you love him like I think you do, he'll be fine."
Anna turns in his arms to face him and wraps her arms around his neck. "You think so?"
"I KNOW so. Lets get to bed. It's late and it's been a long day."
She nodded and jumped on him as for him to carry her to the bed. He did and layed her down gently. He got in next to her and pulled the blankets up over them. She cuddled into him and he wrapped his arms around her to hold her close. She kissed him softly. "I love you, Gabriel."
He kissed the top of her head. "I love you too." He replied in a whisper and fell asleep.
It was 2:00 in the morning and Jack awoke screaming. "MAMA! PAPA!"
The couple heard and jumped awake. Anna turned to her fiance'. "Jack!" They whispered urgently.
They ran to his room. Gabriel had grabbed his tojo blades while Anna had quickly thrown a robe on. They got to his room and nothing was present. But the poor boy was sitting there curled up terrified and tears streaming down his face. Gabriel put his blades down and the two walked over to him sitting on the edge of his bed. "What happened, Baby?" Anna asked.
Jack crawled into her lap and started sobbing into her chest. She rubbed his back and tried to soothe him. Gabriel suddenly heard something and raised his blades again standing up. "Anna, take Jack and go somewhere safe."
Anna looked at him. "Why? What's wrong?"
"There's something or SOMEONE here. I can feel it."
"Evil?" She asked remembering he could sense it.
He nodded. "Take him and..."
Suddenly something jumped out of the closet and knocked him over. Anna screamed startled and Jack screamed terrified. Gabriel was holding the creature at bay and Anna grabbed Jack and ran for their lives. Jack cried harder more terrified. "Shhhh. It's ok, Baby. Everything's going to be ok. I promise." Anna whispered to her son.
