I open my eyes and see that I am looking up at the night sky when I feel someone start to move next to me. I quickly look over and it's the man from before.

"Well I was right, we are still alive." He tells me as I slowly sit up.

"That was a long fall though" I tell his as I massage my neck.

"Not really about ten feet. Come on we have to get going before he finds us." He tells me as he stands up.

"No! First tell me what is going on here?! First my cousins go missing then we have to come here and take over for them and now vampires killing my family and then you come to I am guessing save me." I ask him.

"First off your cousins haven't disappeared, they're dead. When I heard your family was coming to take their place I tried to get to you as fast as I could. At least I saved you." He tells me as he searches around the area.

"What in the world are you looking for?" I ask him.

"My hat, jumping out the window made me loose it. We have to meet up with my friend in town. To get you to a safe place." He tells me as he find his hat and puts it back on.

"I don't know who you even are! Thanks for saving me and all but there is no way I am going anywhere with you." I tell him as I start to walk the opposite way of him.

"Wait!" he tells me as he grabs my arm and turns me to him.

"You want to know who I am? I have been called many things but I go by Van Helsing." He tells me.

"The monster hunter? I have only seen wanted signs for you." I tell him as he looks around us.

"I will explain more just please come into the town, it is not safe here." He tells me.

"Why should I?" I ask him.

"I don't have time to argue" he tells me as he picks me up and puts me over his shoulder.

"What the heck do you think you are doing?! Put me down or I will scream!" I yell at him.

"Do that and he will find us and kill us both." He says and keeps walking.

Ugh well I don't want to die tonight so I keep silent as he keeps walking. We finally reach the town and he puts me down as we walk into a tavern and see a man in a brown monks clothes with some gadget in his hand.

"Carl, I was only able to save the girl. The others were killed and he has three new brides." Van Helsing tells the man as he looks up from his work.

"One out of three is better than nothing I suppose." The man says as he looks me over.

"What are you looking at?" I ask him.

"Reminds me a lot of Anna." He tells Van Helsing.

"You remember your cousin?" the man asks me.

"No, I never met her so I can't say that I would remember her." I tell him as I sit down in a chair.

"Sad to hear that, I thought your mother and Anna's mother were very close." The man tells me.

"I wouldn't know I never met my Aunt either. That is why it surprised me when we got a letter saying we needed to come here and take over for them." I tell him as I look around the room.

"Dear girl that letter was not from them. They were already dead. I believe Dracula did this thinking Anna would have wrote you telling you where the monster went." The man tells me.

My mind started to race. A letter from Anna, I did get an odd letter but it didn't say who it was from.

"Did you ever get a letter from her?" Van Helsing asks me.

"I did get an odd letter but I don't know if it was from her or not. Even if I did I don't trust either of you enough to show it to you or tell you what was in it." I say as I stand up from the chair.

"Where are you going?" the man asks me.

"I am better off alone, if what you say about my cousin is true then I will get her murderer and I will avenge my family as well." I tell him.

"Anna was stronger and smarter than you and she still didn't make it. Believe me I was there." Van Helsing says as he looks up at me.

"For all I know about you Van Helsing you could be the one that killed her." I say as I turn around and walk out the door.

It's better this way. I don't need two men who I don't even know to follow me around and tell me what to do. If the weird guy from before want to come for me then this time I will be ready. The clouds then come over the city.

"Hide they are coming!" a random woman from the village yells.

The villagers start to panic and run in different directions.

"What in the world is wrong with these people?" I ask when I hear flapping in the air.

"Grab what you can! The master needs more blood" I hear a woman yell. I quickly duck into a house and shut the door.

"No Momma Poppa!" I hear a young girl scream.

I run inside the room and see the young girl looking out a crack in the window shutters. I look through and see two of the creatures grab a man and woman.

"Help them please!" the little girl begs me.

"Oh for god's sake." I say as I take out my sword and run outside. "HEY IT'S ME YOU WANT!" I yell into the air.

Of course I get their attention and the two brides drop the man and woman.

"Get her" one tells the other.

I start to run through the town when I grabbed and pulled into a small alley.

"What do you think you are doing?" a man asks me.

I look up and see Van Helsing there with the other man.

"You are either very brave or very stupid" the man says.

"I had to save that girl's parents." I tell him as I pull my arm away from his grasp.

"We have to take her to Rome, she is definitely not safe here." The other man says.

"Serenity" I hear the man from my dreams call out into the city.

"Don't answer him. Dracula will only kill you or make you his bride either fate is one I doubt you would want." Van Helsing tells me.

I keep still and close my eyes.

"Do not hide from me young one. Your cousin tried once and she was killed by the man no doubt standing right in front of you." Dracula says.

I open my eyes and stare right into Van Helsings. He looks away from me and down at the ground.

"I will find you Serenity and you will become mine." Dracula says as he wonders through the village.

I then hear the little girl from before start screaming.

"No let me go!" the little girl pleads with one of the brides.

"She was with this girl, I can smell her on the child." The bride tells Dracula.

"Ah hello little one." Dracula says.

"I will not let him hurt a child." I tell them as I walk out onto the streets.

"You found me, here I am" I say as Dracula nudges the little girl to the side.

"A love for children I see, you would give your life for someone you do not even know?" Dracula asks me.

"That child has done nothing to deserve whatever you were thinking to do to her." I tell him as he finally reaches me.

"It was true what I told you, the one and only Van Helsing was the one who killed your cousin Anna." He tells me as he starts to circle me. "Join me and I can help you avenge her death"
