Prologue

The moonlight emphased her platinum blond hair. She looked so vulnerable in her nightgown. Unlike the rest of England she was awake. She'd had another nightmare and now sleep wouldn't come anymore although it was only 3.40 am. She sighed and decided to go watch the silent night on her balcony. When her feet touched the icy cold floor she couldn't help but shiver.

The scent of oak trees and wet grass met her nose. The wind played her long hair and pushed the nightgown against her body making it clear for anyone who could see her then, she was a very beautiful woman. She closed her eyes and let the moon erase the images of her nightmare.

Hidden in the shadows of the trees he looked at her, longing for her to be with him, forever. Even though he was the lord of the night, the strongest, he could not look at her without longing to hold her close. It had been centuries since he had felt emotions next to amusement and hate. This woman had turned his undead life upside down. And tomorrow he would lose her for all eternity.

Only one tear slipped through her closed eyes and made a wet trail across her cheek. "Alucard". His name escaped her lips. Her ice queen mask finally broke and sobs began controlling her body. She hit the floor and buried her face in her hands for she would lose him. After an hour of crying she fell asleep on the balcony, only moving as the wind made her shiver.
