During the fight the Vampire killed many of the villagers and nearly killed the Burgemaster until, Albert himself was able to drive a wooden stake right through his heart, before he died the Count cursed the villagers declaring "None of you will live. The town of Stattel will die your children will die, to give me back my life" Anna was then nearly tortured to death by the villagers for colluding with the Count in murdering the children of the village, her husband Albert however stopped the vengeful villagers from killing her.
