Thanks to Metropolis Kid, Jack the Reaper(got you name right this time) and griffin for the reviews. Well here is the first part of the four part mini-series of Alexandria wanting pet. And I hope this chapter is a little longer to. Enjoy.
Age: 8
"Daddy, can I get a pet?" Alexandria asked with her eyes closed. A sweet smile on her face.
"No." Alucard flat out told her.
The Devil's daughter's face fell at her denied request.
Alexandria had a mission tonight, and that mission was to get her very own pet. In her mind it made perfect sense that she should get one. Her father had his demon hound and her mother had the hellcat. So logically it would be her turn to have one. Unless her father has anything to do with that.
"And before you asked why," He said as his princess was about to talk. "Its because you're not responsible enough to own one. Let alone one that would become your familiar."
"I am responsible enough to own one." Shocked that he would have so little faith in her ability to take care of another animal.
"Really now," One of his eyebrows raised high. "Then explain your so call "responsibility" at the Queen's gala a week ago?
The mention of the queen made the girl vampire's eyes stared at the floor. "Ok, so flooding the room with animals and insects was a bad idea. But it was in honor of the visiting Vatican. And even YOU know that they don't deserve such recognition from Her Highness." As she pointed her finger at her father.
Alucard ignored her slight rudeness. "Even so, you still put the Queen and our Masters in danger. And I cant allow such acts to go unpunished."
"But you made me eat raw garlic and cut my blood supply from three times a day to two. You cant continue to punish me just because of that one incident." Her eyes narrowed in defiance.
Seras who was standing between the two arguing vampires, decided to step in.
"Maybe we should consider her getting a pet Alucard." The mother suggested as she came behind her daughter. Her hands rubbing the tense shoulders of the irate girl. "I mean having a pet would teach her more about responsibility after all." Her ruby eyes pleading. Hoping that he would reconsider his decision.
He did not.
"My decision is still no." His ember eyes narrowed at the little defiance. "And I would expect you to heed to it." The vampire lord told the small demon girl. He then turned away from the female vampires and walked toward his throne. Thinking that the matter of owning at pet was settled.
He was dead wrong.
"This is bullshit!" Alexandria shouted to her retreating father. Anger boiling at him for denying her request.
Seras was taken back at her daughter's word. She never once seen her child acting like this before. She never talked back to either of them. Let alone her father. And before the concern mother could stop her, Alexandria continued her tirade.
"First you made me stay in this crappy dungeon for nearly six years of my undead life. Which I spend alone most of my time. Knowing that there was someone my own age I could of played with." Now letting loose some of the resentment she had with being alone all those times. "Then you punish me for unleashing those animals at the visiting Iscariots. Who I must remind you sent an assassin to killed me and mother while she was giving birth to me. "As she snared at now only at them trying to killed them, but also at their cowardliness on not doing it themselves. "And now this? I cant believe how bullheaded your being for.."
'THAT'S ENOUGH!" Alucard howled at her. His eyes glowing crimson.
Alexandria quieted at his outburst. Shocked at the tone he gave her. That shock was then replace with fear at she watch as her father marched towards her, his face in anger at being talk to like that. And the only comfort the poor child found was her mother's arms. Which were now wrapping themselves comfortably around her daughter's shoulder.
Please Alucard, don't do anything rash. Seras pleading with her husband. Not wanting anything bad to happen to Alexandria.
This girl will learn some respect. Even if I have to force it on her. He retorted back to her.
"Da-dad." The terrified girl said as her father came near her. His tall body towering over her. His dark vampiric energy oozing out and causing her to shake at the dark power.
"How dare you talk to me like that." As his face came near hers. His razor sharp teeth now bared. "You're just a child who knows nothing about the world. And you have the audacity to argue about my decision? I expected more maturity out of you. But Instead you act like some little spoiled 'catea'. He finish with his Romanian tongue.
Alexandria couldn't handle the harsh words he was saying, nor could she withstand the intense stare he was giving her. So she turned her head away in shame. Alucard not done with his lecture, gripped her delicate pale chin with his large hand and force her to look at him again.
"You have to realize one very import fact my little 'printesa'," Now using the adoring nickname that she enjoyed hearing from her father. But now sounded bitter and twisted in her ears. "You are the child and I'm the parent. And what I say is law to you."
With the harsh words and the pain from the iron gripped he had on her face, the young vampire couldn't help but cry. Tears of blood running down her cheeks and staining the white glove of the former count.
Seras not wanting to see her in pain decided to intervene. "That's enough Alucard." She told him. The words more commending then pleading. "You don't have to be so cruel to her." As she forcefully removed his hands from their daughter's face.
Alucard ignored his bride's action. Knowing that what she did was out of love for their child. "She has to learn her place in this family. And that she should respect our rules."
"I realize that, but you don't have to be so insensitive towards her feelings." As the former police officer glared at him. Her hold on Alexandria tightened.
The two vampires' eyes lock onto each other. It appeared that another argument was about to rear up. Until the silent dark child finally spoke.
"I'm sorry." her voice just barely a whispered. Her head lowered. The blond bangs obscuring her eyes.
Seras and Alucard looked a their daughter. The blonde one a little grateful that they would move pass this. Even though it came at the expanse of the little vampire's feelings.
The black haired family member on the other hand did not feel the same way. He was still angry at the disobedience he received. But at least it went down with the apology he received.
That didn't last long.
"I'm sorry," She continued. "That I'm such a disappointment to you." The now upset darkling broke free of Seras' hold and ran. Not bothering to open the door of her parents' room and instead phasing through it.
"Alexandria wait." The mother called out too late as she watch her daughter disappeared into the wooden door.
"Ungrateful little brat.' Alucard mumbled as he started to walk the other way.
"Wait a minute." Seras said as she grabbed onto his long arm and stopped him from going any where. "Just calm down."
"You're telling me to calm down. Did you see the way she acted?" As he pointed to the direction their daughter went.
"I did. I did. Just let me talk to her and I think I can smooth things out."
The former count thought about her words. "Fine. Go to her and fix this nonsense."
After saying her thanks, Seras rushed out of the room and after the runaway vampire.
The now frustrated vampire king sat on his giant throne. He use his telekinesis to bring the blood wine and his goblet to him. He then poured the red liquid into the cup. 'Was it always this tough raising a child?" As he took a sip of the red ambrosia. His finger tapping on his chin in thought.
I felt Alex was a little whining in this. And if she did, don't worry it wont last fro long. And there is reason fro Alucards outburst. You guys find out later. Also the assassin the Iscariot use was Deathstroke aka Slade Wilson. A very deadly assassin in the DC universe(and my fave villian). Lets just say, Alucard found a new rival in him. Well thanks for the read and have a nice day.
P.s Catea is romanian for bitch and prinseta is romanian for princess.
