Imprisonment

Slowly, ever so slowly the darkness creeps. From the ground, inching ever closer, up the walls, ever so slowly, eating away at the fading light. Soon, not even a shred of light was seen, nothing was left. Only emptiness, darkness, coldness was left, a dark void. No sound was heard and no sound was made, a complete blackness, devoid of life. Nothing is, and nothing it will be.

Time is but a fleeting moment. Years, centuries, millennia pass, and yet there still was nothing. I wait in silence, in complete stillness, for the one to bring me out once again. I will continue waiting, if even for eternity, I shall wait.

Finally, the darkness is dispelled. Sounds are heard, footsteps, light and airy. Mayhap a young childe, running lost in the winding halls of the dungeons? No, the smell of power radiates from the child's blood. They are the one to free me from my prison, and I shall once again rain terror upon those who defy my master's will.

A creak sounds as the large door opens, strained from the many years. A silent breeze brushes past my corpse, carrying in the scent of the childe before me. I hear them approach slowly from my chained spot. Light from the hall behind the door shines in through a crack forming a straight path for the child as if heralding them into the darkness. The footsteps stop right before me, I sense a hand outstretch to my head, and rest upon my now white head.

"Are you the one they call Alucard?" the childe asked with authority and yet with the naiveté truly becoming of a child. I only answer with silence. There was a pause in time, before the sound of a metallic object clinked. A hand was shoved forcefully in front of my mouth, a pool of blood gathering in the palm. The smell of the sweet blood called to me, the feel of power radiated off the luscious liquid dripping before my mouth. "Drink," the child's voice returned, commanding me, "Drink and become my servant."

I lowered my head into the palm of dripping blood and drank in the liquid greedily. However, the hand was pulled away from me as soon as I tasted the power of the blood. I stood up and bowed on my knees before the child, a wide grin covering my face as I looked up at the face of the child, "What is it that you command, my Master?"

The child was completely bathed in the light from the hall, dark shadows dancing on her face. A grin was placed on her face, and a mad glint in her eyes, "It is the same as always, servant. Search and Destroy."

I lowered my head once again, a mad glint forming in my eyes as I readied myself for the new hunt. "Yes, my Master."
