A Different Ending

Chapter 4

2Weeks have passed since Van Helsing left to return to Rome from his mission. Anna was laying awake in bed wondering when he would return to her when she started to feel sick, he ran to the bathroom and threw up. She cleaned her mouth and washed her face flushed the toilet. She took a look in the mirror she looked a mess.

Her hair hasn't been brushed in days and could do with a wash, her face was pale and drained of all colour, she had bag under her red puffy eyes from sleepless nights and crying.

She made her way back into her room and climbed into bed, She laid there starring up at the ceiling and thought of Van Helsing and their last night together. The tears ran down her cheeks and she cried herself to sleep.

...

A couple of hours later she was woke to find Gabriel sitting in the chair infront of the now lit fire in her room. At first she thought she was dreaming, rubbing her eyes and clearing her vision she saw him clearly but he still didn't trust herself so just to make sure she called him "Van Helsing?"

He turned and looked at her and smiled brightly he got up and alked over to her "Ho you feeling love?"

She smilied "Much better now your here"

He kissed her softly which she returned hungerly. He pulled away and took a good look at her, he noticed that her face as pale and drained of colour her eyes ere red and puffy with bags underneath, and her hair as in dissary. He realised ho much him leaving affected her

"I'm sorry for taking so long to return, the cardinal said i had to go on one last mission before i left" He smiled sadly at her.

She cupped his face in her hands "Its ok love your here now thats all that matters" She smiled and kissed him and he returned it.

...

A while later Anna was sitting at the table watching Gabriel as he cooked them both dinner. She smiled lovingly and was so glad he was there with her and he wasn't leaving again, Nothing could make her happier at that moment.

He served up the dinner and they both ate enjoying eachothers company, and Gabriel told Anna about his final mission making her laugh at his facial expression.

After dinner they washed the dishes and went through to the den and Anna started telling Gabriel about the ball she was going to hold in his honour and that he is now whorshiped in this village for killing Dracula and letting her people rest in peace with out having to worry about a vampire attack.

They started planning the ball. Gabriel watched her as she flipped through the book with different themes and dresses. He sawone that caught his eye, it was a halloween kind of themed one and there was a picture of a red dress with vampire teeth and gold jewellery

"That one would suit it perfectly i think" He said with a smile imagining Anna in the dress.

Anna took a look at it, It as nice and had a nice design to it "Yes I think it'll work"

Anna called the maids to get designers to decorate the ballroom, first thing tomorrow morning. Satisfied with the response she headed to bed with Gabriel for her first night of sleep in weeks.

She changed into her nightdress and climb into bed. He got in beside her and held her close as she placed her head on his chest listening to the sound of his heart beat. "Good night my Daring Anna"

"Good night Love" Her breaths evened out and she feel asleep.
