"But now you question who I am.
Who I am inside
Now there's nothing left to hide.
So here it goes
This is my letter"

Terror, Anguish, Fear, Anger, Suffering, Death…….they plagued his dreams. And why not? Was it not he who was deserving of such torment. Was it not he, who took the fall so that his other would not. His own, his heir, his beloved Adrian. Whose loss of innocence was taken from him so that he would live, and not decay into damnation, not unlike his Father. Vlad turned over, attempting to shake the nightmares binding him to agony. There would be no comfort. Lisa was not here to do so. Ah….Lisa was a blessing, not unlike the stories of how Christ would send an angel to quell the darkness, Vlad's darkness. The depth of his soul ached for her comfort, her absolute solitude. Ironically, she would comfort her husband more than she would Adrian when he was still an infant. Comfort, from that darkness in his very being. The Terror, Anguish, Fear, Anger, Suffering, Death. They haunted him as much as Lisa's recent death did. And the massacre…..Death lingered still on in that God-forsaken village.

A fore-boding wind wisped easily through the outside foliage and through the corridors of the Castlevania. A cursed wind, for cursed blood. The vampire stepped out of his bed and made himself presentable. This was not going to be an easy task. Especially, what had to be said, and the reaction to so.

A/N: Do I really need to mention a disclaimer here? Fine, Shadow Alucard does not own Castlevania. That is done. I was deeply motivated by another story named "Even in Death" by Gray Velkan. I highly suggest you read this as not only is it the pre-requisite to this but also an excellent story. The dialogue caption that is at the top of the page is from the song "My Letter" by the band "Flaw". I also highly suggest that you check this out or even preview somewhere as it was the backdrop track for this chapter and sets the mood too. I shall return with a vengeance, (the pointy pen is out for blood again) so expect more
