Chapter 1
Blood poured out of the gouges in father Anderson's chest, sides and
stomach. He stumbled down the dark ally way, hoping he had escaped the
monster. Vampires, heretics, those he could deal with, had dealt with
on numerous occasions. He'd even taken on a few corrupt members of
Iscariot. But tonight's foe proved to be a much bigger handful than he had
originally thought. He'd never faced a true pure blood Werewolf before.
His wounds weren't healing. It made no sense why wasn't he healing. He
took a couple more steps before collapsing. When he didn't feel
concrete hit him, father Anderson shifted to see what he had landed on. To his
distaste he saw none other the Nosferatu, Alucard.
" Ye bloody monster, whit dae ye want wi' mae. let me die in peace."
The paladin said pushing out of the other mans arms.
" Well, well, Alexander. it seems you've been having some fun. But I'm
not going to let you die by any other hand but mine." The black haired
vampire said, a grin spreading across his face. He stared at the blonde
priest, who was holding his sides in pain. Even when bleeding
profusely he still remained completely gorgeous." You need help. Those wounds
are too big for you to close on your own before you pass out."
The paladin sneered at the vampire. "And who's gonna help me? You?
I'd rather die. No. No ones gonna help me. I don't need anyone's help."
He said taking another step forward, and collapsing back against the
Nosferatu.
"It looks to me like you do need my help. Relax, Alex. I swear on my
pride as a Vampire I won't harm you 'til you've fully healed." Alucard
said, wrapping his arms around the priest's thick form. He felt the blonde
paladin tense up when he began running his hands up and down his back.
" I've never needed anyone's help before, and I don't need yours
now. leave me be demon." Anderson said, speaking into the other man's
shoulder.
" Don't be stupid. If I leave you here, alone, the Wolf will find you
and finish what she started. What is so hard about letting me help
you...you know I'm going to do it anyway."
"other than you're the spawn of Satan. I don't trust you. And I don't
need help." Anderson felt one of Alucard's hands move up into his
hair, pulling his head back. He was soon nose to nose with the vampire,
staring into ruby red eyes." What are you doing?"
he's going to pass out soon. Then there's nothing he can do to stop
me from helping him. Alucard thought to himself, as he unconsciously
his left thumb across the paladin's bottom lip. "I'm getting you to
trust me. Our agencies haven't been enemies for almost three years now, and
yet you still treat me as one. I've been naught but civil to you, why
won't you trust me?" he asked ghosting his lips over the blonde's
cheeks.
" I don't trust anyone. And no I don't feel like telling you the
reasons why." His vision was becoming blurred, and Anderson began to sway on
his feet. The last he remembered before he passed out was Alucard's
voice saying:" Then I will have to find out for myself, Alexander."
