Alucard paced the hall out side of Sir Integral's room, his gloved hands folded firmly behind his back, his eyes averted to the stone floor, glasses and hat forgotten, and red coat flapping slightly with his quick movements.
Two young individuals sat in chairs watching while the vampire paced, ever so often glancing at the door, no doubt wondering if he should brake it down and force his entry or wait to be called.
The younger of the two seated at the wall was a ten-year-old girl.
She had ghostly pale skin, auburn eyes, straight long flowing black hair that was tide back in a ponytail, and dressed in a short black skirt, short sleeved white shirt, black shoes with knee high blood red socks.
The elder, was a sixteen-year-old boy.
He too was very pale, and had straight black hair that fell into his auburn eyes, and fell past his ears.
He dressed in black jeans, and a black long sleeved button up collard shirt.
The young man turned his gaze at the pacing vampire.
He leaned farther in his chair and crossed his arms, his calm sober look, not changing as he parted his lips to speak.
"Relations. Tot is well." He whispered in Romanian, his mother tongue, causing Alucard to stop his pacing and look at the younger male.
His eyes narrowed.
"Relax? You tell me to relax? All is not well! Integral is laying ill!" He snapped causing the girl to cower slightly under his gaze, though the young man did not seem bothered or frightened.
"Anger voinţă a voi nu ajutor." He stated simply causing Alucard to snarl his fangs bared as he clenched his fists and continued his pacing.
'You do not understand young one, she is all I have left.' Alucard thought to himself as the young mans words echoed in his head.
"Anger voinţă a voi nu ajutor." "Anger will not help."
The girl turned her gaze to the young man before speaking to him quietly in Romanian, the easiest for the young man to speak; though he knew some English.
"Jasper , ce voinţă a voi fericit , dacă ea diesel?" She questioned looking at him worriedly.
He did not answer her question quickly, but thought over it, translating each word into English in his head, as a mental practice of the language he was learning.
'Jasper, what will happen if she dies?'
He finally turned his gaze to her, and speaking in English, though rather sloppy, replied.
"Die she won't…" He turned away.
"Allow it I will not."
He then rose to his feet and exited the hall, causing Alucard only to momentarily glance up, before continuing his pacing.
The girl followed him with her eyes till he was out of site.
"But Jasper, what do you intend to do?"
Jasper once out of the hall phased threw the floor and down below into the dungeons, where he then proceeded to continue to his room, or cell, which ever one preferred.
He entered his room, which was simply decorated.
A dark wine red carpet covered the stone floor, a desk sat at the far corner with a comfortable chair, a table rest in the middle of the room, and on the other far corner rested a large black rose wood coffin.
He sighed before going to his desk and pulling out a talisman of sorts, one he had once been given by a kind German woman who had cared for him very much.
He sighed before averting his eyes towards the ceiling of his cell, as if looking up at those above.
"I pray ei understand I'm doing this pentru Integral." He muttered to himself before putting the talisman around his neck and chanting the following German incantation.
"Bringen Sie mir nach Rumäne! Die Zeitrechnung ICH suchen ist über alt! Bringen Sie mir nach DIE ZEITRECHNUNG ÜBER DRACULA!"
The talisman glowed before enveloping him in a golden glow before he vanished, as if he had never been, and as if he will never be.
A/N I pray ei understand I'm doing this pentru Integral translates to: I pray her understand I'm doing this for Integral. And "Bringen Sie mir nach Rumäne! Die Zeitrechnung ICH suchen ist über alt! Bringen Sie mir nach DIE ZEITRECHNUNG ÜBER DRACULA!" Translates to: take me to Romanian! the time self searches am over alto! take me to the time over dragon! And then can be farther translated to: Take me to Romania! The Time I seek is of old! Take me to the time of Dracula! My Romanian and German aren't that great, so bare with me.
Jasper was slammed to the hard cold ground, his knees buckling beneath him causing him to fall.
His breathing came in heavy pants before his eyes drooped and he fell into darkness.
He awoke to the voices of men arguing.
His auburn eyes fluttered lazily open and he spotted two men arguing heatedly.
One he saw was tall, slender and had dark brown hair, the other was short with slightly red hair flecked with gray.
"It's just a boy, we should help him! We cannot simply leave him here!" The taller of the two stated running his fingers threw his dark brown hair clearly threw frustration with the shorter and obviously older man.
Jasper slowly sat up, holding his head in one hand for now he felt rather lightheaded.
A/N: From here on, Jasper's Romanian will be translated into English…I'm tired of writing in Romanian.
"Were…Am I?" He questioned to himself, and then his eyes grew wide with shock.
'It worked! I can't believe it, it really worked!'
"It worked." He muttered to himself, causing both men to look at him, finally noticing him to be awake.
"Come here boy." The elder of the two men barked in Romanian.
Jasper stood and obeyed approaching the two men, careful to not allow his eyes to glow bright red, or his fangs to elongate, for if they were to find out he was indeed a vampire, he would most likely lose his life.
The taller of the two smiled and offered his hand.
"Good evening, I am Jonathan Harker."
Jasper accepted his hand and shook it, before the man named Jonathan, worried look playing upon his face, questioned.
"What are you doing out here all by yourself?"
Jasper seemed to have forgotten how to understand English, and then thought.
'If this is Jonathan Harker, then he no doubt is on his way to Count Dracula's Castle, which until later on in history, I'll need to be…'
"I am afraid I be naught but a fool sir, for I have fallen for a dare, and must go to Count Dracula's castle." He lied praying to God, who Integral so often said existed that they would stupidly fall for his lie.
"Dracula's castle," he smiled.
"Then why not travel there with me? I am headed there as well, and would gladly accept and enjoy the company."
Jasper smiled, though kept his teeth from showing and nodded, happy to be invited.
'I'll actually be able to meet my father before he was the slave Alucard…when he was still The No Life King, when he was still Dracula!' Though this thought excited Jasper very much, he had to remind himself he was here for one thing and one thing alone, he could not think of attempting to change the past, for it might damage the future.
Jonathan eyed the young lad for a moment, noticing the sudden excited air about the boy and smiled slightly as he asked his next question.
"Are you, perhaps related to the Count by any means?"
Jasper blinked a few times before looking up at him.
"Huh? Oh no, I assure you sir I am of less then noble blood." He lied yet again, bowing his head as if shamed to be even in Jonathan's company.
The ride remained in a uncomfortably long silence, leaving Jasper at wits end, he after all could think of nothing to start a conversation, he knew why Jonathan was heading for Dracula's Castle, but decided he might as well ask any way.
"Mr. Harker?" He questioned looking at the older man.
He smiled and put up a hand.
"Jonathan, please."
Jasper smiled back and nodded.
"Jonathan, may I inquire to know, why you are going to Dracula's Castle?"
"I am going to Dracula's Castle to sell the Count property value about London," Jonathan then proceeded to continue on about this topic.
Jasper began wondering how one person could speak of one topic for such a long period of time, perhaps this was normal and he simply had the attention span of a squirrel or Jonathan was abnormal.
Finally, after what seemed an eternity the carriage slowed and finally came to a halt.
He looked out the window, Jonathan doing the same, both seemed to be holding there breath as they gazed down the path expecting to see something, anything, but alas saw nothing.
While they waited, the only light came from their own lamp lit carriage.
Jonathan and Jasper both sighed feeling only slightly disappointed.
Soon the driver began speaking, though Jasper heard it, Jonathan was left guessing.
"An hour less than then the time." He spoke before looking directly at them.
"There is no carriage here. The Herr is not expected, after all. You both will now come on to Bukovina, and return tomorrow or the next day; better the next day." While the driver spoke the horses began to neigh and plunge wildly, causing the driver to pull hard to hold them steady.
Soon, the hooves of horses could be heard, and clouds of dust rose from the road causing both Jonathan and Jasper to poke their heads out to look.
Four horses, black as night pulled up, pulling a coach.
The other carriage drew to a stop beside theirs, both passengers gazed up at the driver.
He was a tall man, with black hat and coat, and brown mustache and beard.
"You are early tonight, my friend." The man stated, smirk crossing his face at the other drivers trembling.
"The English and his young companion were in a rush."
The other driver's head leaned up a bit, but just enough to allow Jasper to see his auburn eyes.
"Young friend say you?" He questioned before gazing down at Jasper to see a slight smile upon the young mans face.
After a heated discussion of whom would take them, and after being crossed by the driver, the other driver looked at both the passengers before gazing at the driver.
"Give me their luggage." He ordered jumping from his seat and walking towards the back of the carriage.
He grabbed Jonathans before looking oddly at Jasper.
"Were are your things?" He questioned.
Jasper averted his eyes feeling stupid.
"I…I have none."
Both Jonathan and Jasper climbed out of their carriage before turning to the driver, who crossed them again before driving off as quickly as he could.
Jonathan climbed in first, but before Jasper could step to enter the carriage the driver grabbed his shoulder tightly causing him to turn.
The steal grip didn't hurt, but it defiantly reminded him of the Alucard he lived with.
"Would you be inclined to sit up front with me?" He questioned in a pleasant tone.
Jasper shrugged his shoulders and removed his foot from the step.
"I suppose so." He then turned to Jonathan.
"Will you be ok in the carriage alone?"
Jonathan smiled and waved away the question.
"Go up front, enjoy." He offered, though Jasper could sense his unease.
Jasper, with a bit of help from the driver climbed onto the front seat, the driver sitting beside him.
He whipped the rains causing the horses to rear before running off.
The ride was silent for a few moments, Jasper yet again feeling uncomfortable.
He sat with his hands tucked between his knees to prevent himself from twiddling his thumbs.
The driver eyed him from the corner of his eyes.
"So, young man," He began, a bit of a mocking air to his voice.
"Are you aware of who I am?" He asked, Jasper didn't doubt that he to had figured out that the young man beside him was a vampire.
"Perhaps."
The driver cocked an eyebrow.
"Well, do you or don't you?"
Jasper felt those cold eyes burning into him, the same cold eyes that burned into him whenever he failed in training, he hated it.
"Indeed, Count, I am aware of who you are." He stated, wondering what the night held for them, on their journey to Count Draculas Castle.
