A/N: Note that I posted this story years ago under the pen-name dark-byakugan24, and then deleted, because I didn't like it. Now, I am under this pen-name sansajonquil. And I am regaining confidence on my story, so I'm reposting it.


She is so beautiful.

In the grand ballroom, Dracula spun around Anna, the last of the Velarious line.

"You won't get away with this," Anna hissed, her long curly brown locks swishing around her face.

"Oh?" Dracula arched his eyebrow. "It seems like I will. Your lover Gabriel wouldn't have time to rescue you."

"He is not my lover, and I will destroy you to save my family from Purgatory," Anna said angrily, her cheeks turning red from embarrassment.

Dracula smirked. "I should hope not."

Suddenly he swept her body down, smiling as he heard Anna's sharp intake of breath. He leaned down carefully, and whispered in her ear. "You are to become my bride."

Anna glared at him wordlessly, as he leaned away from her slightly, and bared his teeth.

Dracula's two sharp deadly fangs protruded into view, and his eyes turned the most strikingly blue, which made him look quite maddening. Anna tensed as he transformed into his full vampire form, and she fervently hoped that Van Helsing would come at any minute with his friar, Carl.

Dracula's arms tightened around Anna, as he pulled her closer to him. He delicately brushed her neck with his hand and sighed. "I can hear the blood rushing in your veins, Anna."

Anna shivered unintentionally, as she didn't want to seem weak.

Dracula grinned, pulling his teeth back. "Don't worry. I'll control myself."

"Anna!"

Anna looked up, still trapped in the stranglehold of Dracula. Van Helsing had shouted her name with a sense of great urgency. He was on the top floor and he threw a rope tied onto the banister preparing to swing towards them.

Anna immediately tried to escape Dracula's clutches, but he was too strong. Not taking his eyes off Anna, Van Helsing swung the rope with all his might while clutching onto it, in Dracula and Anna's direction.

"Van Helsing!" Anna screamed desperately, as Dracula quickly placed his teeth around his neck and bit her. She felt a burning sensation, like every part of her was on fire. At last she couldn't take it anymore and she collapsed, going limp in Dracula's arms.

Before she closed her eyes, she saw Van Helsing attacking Dracula as a werewolf. She hoped him all the best that he would kill Dracula once and for all, before her senses dulled her over and everything went black.
