Order 3: Pure dead
This is below me. After traveling all the way to Ireland accompanied by a weak human we arrive there only to be confronted by pathetic shit-like ghouls. I sense no powerful vampiric presence indicating the one causing this ruckus is nothing but a worthless FREAK. That's what you get for getting your hopes up. My master should have sent humans to do this job and leave the bigger fish to me instead.
The human is not doing too horrible for a human I guess. I might even go as far as saying he would make a decent vampire. He managed to take down five ghouls on his own.. Well six now. But that is mostly thanks to the ammunition Walter supplied us with, without it he'd been dead already. "Sir Alucard I think this floor is cle.."
His words are interrupted when a bayonet strikes him through his throat taking his head clean off. I look down on it seeing a faint blessed aura.. "Inscribed blessed bayonets?" Steps can be heard on the stairs descending towards us "A Vampire and a human? O' well.... it does not matter, We ar' tha representatives o' God, Earthly instruments o' divine punishment. Our mission is ta eradicate all heretics wha' oppose our God down t' tha last bit... AMEN!"
I grin wide at the man, obviously a paladin, This proves to be rather interesting "What have you done to the vampire we were sent to kill?" I ask as he walks up to me and I start walking in his direction to reach him in the middle "Ah killed 'im. T'was sucha weakling. Not even a second o' fun at all." his back is now directed at mine "All tha's left now is you." my grin widens as I look at the lifeless body of my useless companion "Is that so?" He quickly spins and pierces one of his blessed blades into me but I retaliate with a shot straight into his skull sending him flying against the wall where blood splatters against the wall.
A courageous father he was, but also stupid, facing a vampire head on at night. I turn to return to the manor while pulling out the blade, ignoring the soldier that died a meaningless death. I hear a loud rustling behind me and the laughs of the paladin as I feel two more bayonets pierce my shoulders "What the?" I dash away and pull my gun from my coat as he scatters pages of his bible around to serve as a barrier. Me sending multiple bullets at the man who falls down for a few seconds. Getting back up almost immediately and beginning to charge me head on again, this time throwing a few bayonets at me. This was more fun than I could have hoped for.
I shoot the bayonets down only to be hit and pinned to the wall by another set, The bullets I sent at him are pushed from his body and the wounds recover like they have never been there. "AMEN!" He grins and crosses two more of his Bayonets "A regenerator?" I frown looking at the man that managed to take me off like that "Tha's right... A Technology developed for us humans ta fight ye vampires" He pulls his bayonets up again to strike. I had definitely not expected this turn of events.
"Stop there right now! You freak of nature!" That voice.... Both of us turn to look at the source of the voice.. Angel girl? And yes.. Behind the paladin stands the same girl I met that night in Cheddar. Bright eyes glowing with a light rivaling the moon, glaring holes in the man before me. In her small hands she is holding a bow with an arrow carefully aimed for the back of the paladin's head. "Step away, NOW!"
The man looks at her in awe obviously never having seen an angel before before growling and looking at her in frustration "Who ar' ye siding with ye lillith? Have ye fallen from grace tha' far ye decided ta betray God helping these Monsters?!"
The scowl on her face deepens and she releases an arrow hitting him in his arm which casts a bright blue light over it before the limp falls uselessly to his side as the man cries out in pain. "Choose your words carefully. Working for an organization bearing the name of the man that betrayed Christ! The next will be your head, Judas priest!" She spits out while knocking another arrow as he chuckles "I see, Guess I can't kill ye with what I have now young lass..... We'll meet again Lillith... Next time, I'll massacre the both o' ye." With those words the pages of the barrier envelop him and he disappears with them as they get swept outside with the wind.
I pull myself loose from the wall and step towards the girl "Thank you, Angel girl, I was just starting to enjoy myself there" She turns to me with a worried expression "Getting killed you mean. You serve the same God, Why can't you work together?.. Oh! Let me remove those first!" She says before taking hold of the bayonets and pulling them out of my shoulders. For a dead girl she is definitely sweet and pure, Just being near her I can feel her energies trying to purify me. It's amusing that she was worried about the priest having even the slightest chance to kill me.
She turns to the soldier that accompanied me here with a sad face before kneeling down near him"Poor guy.. He was only human, what kind of monster was that man?" How innocent can an undead get? Here she is feeling grief for a man she never even met. In her kneeling position her robes show off more of her body than she intended to, making me smirk. She looks delicious. Her head turns around to give me a glare while she pulls the robe skirt down to try and cover herself more. "Don't. even. think. about. it." She says while getting up and moving for the window the priest jumped from.
"Stay right where you are lady." I hear my master's voice speaking up. I must have been so absorbed by this girl that I did not even notice her nearing. She turns her head to look at my master "Alucard, is she the one that killed one of my men?" I grin and an idea pops into my head, Call me a bastard but I always get what I want. "Yes master, the angel girl here killed lieutenant Loveridge, I was just about to give her a punishment fit for her crime." Grabbing both her arms I bring my teeth to her white neck, the delicate fragrance of her pure blood along with a different smell that is just her making my teeth ache as I look at my aster who nods giving me permission.
"Ma'am! That's not true.. I just came here to help... I had nothing to do with his death!" The little angel's blue eyes fill with tears and I see my master weighting her words against mine. If I act quickly I can still take the bite. My fangs near her skin but then I hear soft sobs coming from the girl in my hands "Liar, I thought you were a good man! Maybe everyone is right, Perhaps you ARE a monster." For the first time in my life I hesitate, no one ever thought of me other than a monster, even when I was alive. I look down contemplating what to do now someone actually thought of me as a person.
"She is telling the truth, my master she..Helped me fight the paladin that was here a while ago." I release her but curse inwardly, so close I was to partaking in that sweet life nectar of hers, If only being with humans for so long had not softened me up so much she would now be calling me her master. She smiles at me in a cute way making a long forgotten spot in my chest ache "Don't get any ideas though, Angel girl, next time we meet I will not let you get away this easily." She giggles and floats up gracefully giving me a peck on my jaw "Sure you won't." she lands with just as much grace giving me a wink "but next time, I'll fight back." she adds before again speeding off into the night, shattering another of the windows in the mansion.
My master just stands there smiling through the entire scene. "Alucard, was she what I think she is?" she asks with a stoic look on her face. I walk past her as I answer her "An angel, one of the pure dead." The corner of her mouth lifts up and I catch her last words which I decide to ignore. "That's not what I meant.." She grins "How the mighty one has fallen, Right, No life king? No.. The man who was once named "count"
This is as far as I can go today, I have to go through an operation tomorrow which will either save or end my life. If I don't update in three weeks you can assume I did not make it. I wish you all a long and prosperous life and if the worst happens I bid you farewell. Raefactor, Metropolis kid, S.T Nickolain. I love you and thank you for receiving me like you did, you made me feel at home.
