So after some mild consideration I' vet decided to post the third chapter as well as I won't have much time next week to work on the rest of the story. Chapter 4 will thus be a little late.
But for now, let's see what happens to the draconian and her master.
Chapter 3
Somewhere in the mountains, far, far away from civilization, two figures took refuge in a darkened cave. It would shelter them in the days yet to come. A small fire kept the unconscious Dracula warm as she lay on a blanket the vampire had provided her with the limited use of his powers. His body rested near hers, exhausted from bringing them there, but the voice's inside his mind didn't. They tormented him further, making him grind his teeth together and dig his claws into the soil beneath. His head rested on his front paw like hands, eyes closed in pain and ears flattened against his head.
Kill, kill…..kill it kept on saying. Kill; destroy the traitor, the wench.
No...no. but yes.
Betrayal.
Torture, it hurt to do, to see.
End he pain.
End the torment.
She promised, she lied.
Why? Why?
Why not kill her?
Kill…..yes…..kill.
No.
No.
"No!" Alucard screamed from the pit of his lungs both inside his mind and out. His howl made the whole forest hear it and all creatures nearby, birds, rodents, wolves, and deer, all of them run in fear for their lives. The hard stone wall was his next victim much like back under the building as both his head and his claws attacked it over and over again. His skull cracked after more than six times, the voices finally stopping as his legs began to shake from the impact. Just like them the wound healed almost immediately, yet it would be the last. And he felt it as he fell back down, whimpering once. The pain inflicted on himself reached the draculina though, through their weak shared link and woke her up. The mere feel of each others presents was all that was left. No more walking or listening in minds. Just silence. She barely stirred this time that he was upon her, all eight eyes burning in bloodlust as he hovered over her keeping his front legs on either side of her shoulders.
"Who touched you?" Was the first thing he asked, first thing he screamed at her. It woke her up completely. Fear gripped her instantly from the top of her head o the tips of her tows paralyzing her." Answer me!"
A few seconds passed till she found her voice. It was only a whisper.
"It doesn't matter."
"Who touched you?" He screamed again this time louder before his right front paw pressed hard against her already damaged chest cutting off any means of escaping she ever had. Like the rest of her broken bones, the sternum had also failed to refuse till now so naturally, the action caused her great pain.
"I will not ask again!"
"Then don't!" Seras finally said back grinding her teeth together and holding back the scream threatening to leave her lips by his increasing pressure on her.
Betrayal…..It was the only thing going through his mind.
Why? Why her? When…when….
"It's not you concern, it doesn't matter anymore."
Bad choice of words as the other hand it the ground next to head, his chest reverberating, a growl escaping.
"I will not have anyone touch you! You're mine girl! My pet!"
"I'm not! I'm my own vampire!"
"You're mine till the day I rip that traitorous heart right out of your chest!"
Alucard's hand moved quickly. Ripping everything off her and leaving her in nothing so she was now fully exposed to his murderous gaze. The other raked the soil until it reached her hips. Her scent filled his nostril and lungs even more now that she was bare. His head moved down her body hovering only a few inches above her sensitive and scratched skin, the warm breath caressing it, bringing fear and shivers at the same time. Worst was the fact she couldn't see. But even if she did, she wasn't sure she would have been able to handle the sight before her eyes. The anger and rage, her instincts were telling her to stay away from it. Not to move.
He knew that scent, her scent, so well. All those years together on missions against freak vampires. He could find her regardless of where she was or how far. But now? Now I was still the same, only hers and no one else's, yet that one little special element that gave it the unique flavor was gone. He could both smell and taste it. She'd been right, Mina, the draculina wasn't unspoiled anymore. Wasn't untouched, but how? Why was her scent unchanged when there should clearly be another within her. Why was her entire being still so pure? So desirable?
It made him shut his eyes and his body tense as if he were on the verge of attacking prey. His right hand moved up to her throat, claws digging in the soil around it as he pressed down. There was no trace of mercy or sanity for that matter on his glowing red eyes. His tail moved around him as he leaned more toward her. He needed to know. Now.
"Who touched you?"
Sighing in pain as her own hand moved over his she tried pushing it away but with little success. Her fear rose even more as he didn't let go. And he could feel it, smell it. The fear, the utter helplessness and dominance and if he need to break her to get an answer, he would. She wasn't worthy of pity after what she'd done. No, none at all.
"Get off." She pleaded in a soft yet firm voice." Please…"
"Who? Answer me!"
" What else could I do?" Her legs were pushing against he ground arching her body slightly as to ease the pain and discomfort. The broken bones though, made it the exact opposite." She needed a virgin so I didn't give her one."
"Why?"
"Let go….please l….."
"You betrayed me! Why?" He was almost there." Why? Answer why? Why?"
"Let go of me Vlad!" Seras screamed in a final attempt as loud as her constricted throat allowed. And it had been enough. Not her plea, but the one word her angelic voice called. His name. His real name, one he'd wanted to hear her do so many times in the past.
"Please let go. Vlad please….."
Her body shock almost on the verge of tears. And I wasn't just cause of the physical pain she felt. The mental one through the shared link also. Her plea eventually reached his suffering mind not just his ears making his eyes soften a bit and his grip loosen. The urge to kill and hurt her was suppressed. Seras's chest frantically moved up and down, the shock received causing a reflex like action to take place.
Watching her carefully the vampire pulled back. His mind desperately trying to understand everything. It was too confusing, o many urges all together. He began pacing again but not even three steps had been made that he crashed his head into the wall anew. After that he took off. Not sopping once till he knew he was as far away as possible from her.
The sound of the stone wall cracking and the footsteps running away were enough to let Seras know he was gone, she'd been left alone. Her body trembled uncontrollably as though she'd been submerged in freezing water. Finally finding the strength to move for the first time since waking up, she turned on her right and assuming the fetal position pulled her legs close to her chest while draping the blanket over herself. It wasn't long enough to cover everything from below mid thigh. Her arm hurt, eyes and side as well. Every move was like being stung over and over again as it would reopen the smaller wounds all over her body, as if she were being cut once more. To top all that, she now feared her master more than she'd ever done in the past. Though she'd never considered him to be a true monster in all the years spent together, not even after he'd killed her and taken her life away. But now? Now when all she did was tried and save him, he despised her for the one thing she'd always wanted him to have. Her sobbing and distress eventually gave way to the bloody tears. Her eyes hurt and burned stronger then before making her whimper and cry out in pain as the crimson ran over them before falling to the ground below. Even the feeling of getting stabbed by all those blessed silver blades had been much better than this. It hurt so badly. And she had no where to got, no one to turn to.
/ Vlad…. / her mind called out as her voice refused to work properly for anything other than whimpering and sobbing in pain. She tightly clutched the piece of cloth covering her, pulling it closer in the process.
"I'm sorry…." She managed to cough up as the trembling increased." I'm so sorry…"
All those years alone. Fighting and staying strong so he would finally take notice when he'd come back. All those years renouncing the idea she needed him, yet secretly whishing he would come back to her. Yes her and no one else. Not for the Organization, not for the thrill of the hunt or the kill, not for the bloodlust. Just her.
And then, when he did come back, it was like nothing had happened in the first place. Life went on and she was still invisibly. She was what she never wanted to be once more. So how could it not hurt now?
Her problems always seemed to follow her where ever she went. Playing with her master was fun, she never missed the opportunity to bug him as he had in beginning, yet she could not go further. There was always something holding her back, a fear she couldn't get rid of. The fear plagued her. Fear of going all the way and being with someone, the fear created that night as her parents were murdered and her mother's corpse raped before her eyes. The fear held her back but the need urged her on. She wanted to know what it was like. What love was like, what making love meant and felt like. And above all else, she'd wanted it to be with him. It didn't matter if he would just use her selflessly and discard her the minute after like a piece of rubbish in the trash. She wanted the moment so much, even if it meant it would eventually turn out to be nothing but a lie and hurt like hell in the end. She just wanted to know him and be as close as possible, feel and explore the forbidden territory that was hidden beneath all those pieces of clothing he always wore. Have him love her as she loved him. It was clearly out of the question after what just happened. He couldn't bare the sight of her and had more than pointed it out, as clear as possible.
After having let the girl in a pitiful state the vampire ran through the trees at lighting speed, dogging them as not to touch one. Her scent, voice, still lingered in his ears and nose, his name called out in such pain and sorrow. Giant pints left in the soil beneath his paws were the only trace of his presents there as he journeyed deeper and deeper into the darkness of the forest. It was the only thing he could think of that would keep them safe. Keep her safe from him. He'd nearly killed her with his weight and anger alone. Forget about the giant paw suffocating her and smashing her heart and chest.
Reaching a small clearing he effortlessly climbed up the small hill letting his body then fall on the hard stone with a loud thud. His crimson eyes watched her sky above him as he raised his heat up. The beautiful sight was laid out for him in its entire splendor. Yet it didn't bring him any joy, any peace what so ever. Loosing her had changed him in ways he never though possible. Those 30 years alone fighting the souls and reclaiming his identity had taken their toll on him though he never let anyone know. He came back yes, but nothing was the same anymore. His master had aged. Her spirit still just as strong and ready to put up a fight against him and prove her worth as the true leader. The few drops of blood she'd offered told him all he needed to know about her and her life thus far without his presence there. His Police girl on the other hand, she'd grown up so beautifully. More than he'd ever thought possible. Strong, elegant, fearless in battle, brave and eager to finish off her prey as he used to do. She relished the kill, enjoyed and didn't fear it or drinking her blood like in the beginning. A perfect and flawless killer. One worth possessing and having all to himself. Studying her closely, though, he could still find the sweet, innocent girl underneath. Always helpful, loving and smiling sweetly. It was really hard to think of her sometimes as a deadly creature of the night. Her hunting, only one word was fitting enough to describe it and come to mind as he savored show after show, night after night. Mine, all mine.
Shaking his head he then moved it to the side letting it hung down from the ledge.
/ I've waited too long. /
Her taste continued to linger on his tongue, her skin, her blood. Still so flawless even with all those scars marring her and her weakened state. And her voice. The same angelic sound, the shattered pieces of the unknown melody which had followed him in the darkness after he'd disappeared. Almost eight years since coming back, six and a half since wanting her more than anything. Her presents calmed his restless mind, voice enough to help him rest easy. She was always there; always seeking his company though there was little still he had left to teach her about being a vampire. She'd learned so much already on her own. Always happy, eyes shining when ever they would meet his.
A deep sigh escaped him, chest reverberating from the sound. Raising himself back up, he slowly turned around and began o retrace his steps. He couldn't let her alone in the middle of the wilderness in her condition. Besides, she would always be his no matter what the circumstances.
Back at the cave's entrance, with a rabbit in his mouth as her next dinner, Alucard made his way through the darkness. Seras needed blood and animal blood was the only one he could provide her with. Her scent reached him long before he himself had. His ears flattened against his head and his posture changed as he reached her. Hearing his steps, the sharp claws scratching at the soft soil, Seras's body tensed. The tears had long stopped but left their mark on their makeshift bandage over her eyes. Fear hit him next.
/ Go away. / She pleaded in her mind over and over again in the hope of having him hear her. Yet no powers meant no mind reading. He could no longer breach her barriers and find out what was going inside her head. He could no longer respond the same way either. Putting the rabbit down close to her body he tried to touch her arm but she pulled away with a whimper of fear escaping her parted lips. The sudden move also caused physical pain.
"No…."
"Don't fear me Seras." His voice now deep and gentle caressed her ears as he leaned his head down and pressed the tip of his nose against her left shoulder." I won't harm you."
Yet she still did. Just like Mina had told her too, just like he made sure she would.
" Just kill me." The draculina replied back full of sarcasm.
"You need to eat. You can't go on for long."
" I'm not hungry."
Pulling away Alucard's eyes saddened at the mess he'd caused. He decided to give her a moment to herself and laid down a few feet from her. About half an hour passed till he saw her move. Her body craved the blood so close to her, sill fresh and warm as the little creature's heart hadn't stopped beating yet. Turing her upper body towards it she clutched the blanket close to her chest and tried to stand up. She'd healed a bit more but not enough. Her side and chest had other plans in mind. She sighed as the pain returned. He was there in an instance. Kneeling beside her and moving his left arm under her shoulder blades to help lift her up and support her. The other he used to gently stroke her left upper arm. Looking up as if to search for his eyes, Seras only saw darkness starring back. Nothing else, not even the monster holding her so close to him.
Moving his fingers over her skin Alucard traced the shape of her arm over her shoulder, clavicle and throat. And after reaching it he gently cupped the left side of her head as he would have had he been in his human form. The delicate skin under the black fur felt softer than silk. Even covered a bloody piece of cloth, hair all messed and dusty from the fallen ruble, lips parted enough to reveal the pearl white fangs hidden beneath, her throat full of scratches tempting him into taking a bite yet again. She was beautiful. Silence fell. Only the sound of the fire remained for several moments.
"Master?" Seras eventually called surprising him. Her right arm moved up, the tips of her fingers just barely touching the back of his left hand. Alucard's tail then moved to the side around his hips to rest over her legs.
"I won't harm you little one. I'm sorry."
Fear began to slowly leave her as curiosity took its place. His words surprised her. He'd never apologized before, not once since knowing him. What happened to him?
"What are you?" Finally asking her question she tried reaching for his face but he pulled away. She didn't stop however and grabbed hold of his hair.
"Master pl….."
"Monster Seras." He replied." The blood was tainted. I'm now the monster all men used to call me. I can't change back and my powers are almost gone. I've very limited use left."
"It can't be that bad." She smiled sweetly at him.
She knew being called a monster was something that bothered him. In truth, he was nothing more than the product of man's greed and desire to control a power far beyond their reach. His past was his own as there was nothing no one could do to change what had already happened. The centuries of walking the earth had snapped the monster. The pain and anguish, torture and humiliation, experiments all for the sake of increasing his power, of finding and overcoming all his limitations of being a vampire. No more fear of sunlight, he would walk in it as if under the moon. Holly water would be like normal blood or water and the experiments had made sure it would be s to at least some extent when he'd been forced to sometimes drink it or bare the pain of it burning through his flesh. He'd even been deprived of food for long periods of time regardless of his healthy or injured state just to see how long he could stand it or heal himself. And so the monster was born beneath the man. All the rage, anger, lust for revenge. And he would have it. One day he'd pay that one person back for the misery caused.
But everyone knows there's more than one side to a story. Man may have captured the monster but as time went on, it was also that man who in turn became even more feral than the beast he'd so badly wanted to posses while the monster was tamed and returned to man.
"It is." Both his voice and expression became softer and loving in a strange sort of way cause of his wolf like appearance. The small sigh of trust she was offering brought him peace of mind. It seemed that in the end, the bond they shared couldn't be broken so easily. The trust and willingness to forgive she held for him despite his harsh words or actions towards her were quite unique. "Seras…." He gently called her name, his tail moving once over the skin of her legs.
" Can I see?"
"You can't."
"I heal fast remember? I can touch too s…."
"No. You really can't. I don't want you to."
"Then you're not sorry." She replied back more confident. If blackmail had anything to do with him showing she would use it. "I want to see. Please."
Fiery eyes all focused on her. He knew very well what she was getting at. There had only been one other time he'd actually threatened her life. That night years ago, back on the mission when she'd questioned him about killing the human soldiers sent to kill them as they though them terrorists, he'd lost his temper with her then but never actually hurt her like he'd done now. He acted like all those times in his past when he punished disobedient fledglings. And there had been several over the centuries though most died by his hand. The punishment though, the simple thought of it or the hurtful words he used, were nothing compared with to actual desire to kill her for disobeying, to punish her so she would fear to do it again.
"As you wish Police girl but it's your risk." Alucard replied sounding more like his old self while pushing the left side of his mouth into her left hand. She was far too weak in this stage to actually feel his influence on as she would have in the past. He on the other hand, couldn't hold back enough. It was hard holding her in such a way, so close, so exposed with only that one little piece of cloth keeping her hidden. His instincts were all urging him to do something as they had been fully awakened due to the form he now possessed. They wanted him to stalk, hunt her down and catch her before getting to feel her tiny frame underneath his large paws and very sharp claws. O how he'd wanted her over the years. Always there yet still so out of reach. What torture could be worse?
Many things were going through Seras's head as she patiently waited for his decision. It seemed that all the rage and fear she felt towards disappeared the moment he took her in his strong arms. The silky, surprisingly, warm fur was pressed against her skin had to truly be the softest thing she'd ever felt. The warmth surrounded her in seconds just like a blanket while taking some of the discomfort away. It didn't take long for her to feel completely safe in his presents. As for his different look, she really didn't know what to think. She'd seen him in his familiar form many times so what possible difference could the really be? It didn't matter for he was and would always be her master. He commanded respect and loyalty.
A strange sensation rapidly spread through her like wild fire as her hand came into contact with his head. It was like lightning only without the pain. It startled her and caused her to pull her hand back, press it against her chest as a small scream escaped her lips. Strange? It hadn't occurred as he embraced her. Why now? Her body suddenly felt hot, very excited. There wasn't even time to relax as he then began nuzzling the side of her throat affectionately. His cold nose touching her skin as a whimper much like a small puppies left his large chest. The hand which had till then rested on her cheek moved down her body towards her left injured hip.
"Touch me." He requested tone deep and sensual as he said so against her right ear. A request impossible to be denied." Touch me Seras."
Her name called out sealed the deal. Her head turned towards his, her own breath blowing over the black fur before her hand moved. The slender fingers found the underside of his jaw, just the tips at firs before she fully pressed her palm against it. Slowly it then made its way over it, to the side and finally over his cheek as to lose itself between the long ebony strands. His pointy ears came next, the small appendages moving within her palm as her fingers gently stroked them. A low growl followed and in no way threatening this time. Just out of pure satisfaction. A few seconds more passed this way until Alucard repositioned his head so his mouth was right next to her throat, inches apart as his grip on her tightened. The long pink tongue wasted no time in sampling her flesh as it swept over it once and only once. A sigh, the only response he got in return along with her hand falling for his ear and landing on his forehead. The three extra pair of magenta eyes closed instantly and vanished to be replaced by a patch of fur. Even the long silky tail started moving again, in ways similar to that of a happy and contempt puppy after getting his treat. It caressed her legs in a slow rhythm causing her to silently giggle from the strange sensation.
"You're like Baskerville." Seras then barely whispered after finding her voice.
"No, not quite." Alucard replied."' My familiar was the only form I could take considering. It mixed with whatever it was Mina wanted me to change in."
He then pulled away letting her down gently onto the soil.
"Enough for now my dear. You need to feed."
A cream colored ball of fur was placed onto her stomach. "Eat up like a good draculina little one."
A few seconds of silence fell afterwards until the girl started laughing. "Glad to see you've still not lost the desire to confuse me. After all this time you still can't finish telling me something without turning it into a game that I have to figure out for myself."
"No fun without it Police girl. Now eat up, I'm old so indulge me."
"What is it?"
"Your dinner. You need the blood so drink. The taste may not as pleasant but you don't really have a choice in the matter."
"I thought it was my choice?" She smiled.
"Just drink." Was his only reply. It felt so good to fight with him as she used to in the past.
" I may even consider rewarding you if you do." He whispered into her ear.
"Tempting but I'm not convinced."
Alucard licked her cheek playfully bringing the rabbit closer to her mouth in the same time and growling in a possessive manner.
"I'll give you what you desire, just drink." He started nuzzling her neck. " Sink your fangs into its flesh and drink. Take the blood Seras, take it now."
Perl white fangs immediately sank in as those words reached her and her lips parted. Her mouth descended on the small creature's neck as not to let the crimson liquid escape her. Yet just as it came into contact her tongue she had to stop and push it away due to the nasty taste. Blood ran down her jaw and over the side of her throat as she had failed to swallow.
"I can't drink this."
"Ignore and swallow. There are no humans here and you're too weak to protest."
"But…"
"Swallow Seras. Now."
A whimper in protest and…" Yes master."
Damn, animal tasted worse than food did now that she was a vampire. She had tried it in the beginning, to resist the urge and need for blood, to eat normal food like soup or milk but only ended up in losing her stomach seconds later. This blood was like that soup only with more iron in it and less vegetables. Ignoring the bad taste and the protesting of her stomach as the liquid ran down her throat and pooled into it. Holding it down would be a real challenge. A few minutes more and the torment ended.
"Good girl."
Alucard took the bunny from her while watching her lick her lips clean in one swift move. He chuckled. Blood was still blood even if it tasted bad. She would get used to it just as she did with the human one. "Very good."
He cupped the left side of her face turning it towards him while he moved in as to hover above her. The extra blood within her system had worked immediately. Her body wasn't as tired but felt more alive and relieved of pain. Most important, it meant sensing him and the small distance between them easier. She automatically tensed in anticipation for was to come.
"Seras." He licked her throat taking some of the blood away with his long tongue and placing his right hand on her left shoulder.
"Master…"
"You fell it don't you? The desire, don't you?" He sensually purred, tail waging from side to side in an elegant manner as he stocked her cheek once, going over her soft parted lips. "The desire to have me touch you and let you touch me…."
She was too much in a shock to answer so her body did it for her when it caused her to moan and her legs to switch position by pushing against the ground with the sols of her feet. One higher than the other.
"Seras…." Her name on his lips sounded so good, even better than in all the dreams she ever had of him. Of such a moment, them together in the most intimate of ways. With that one single word he had complete control and utter dominance over her. To think, had the wolf in the story had that sort of power over little red riding hood the outcome might have been completely different. A nice succulent meal instead of drowning in the river with rocks in the stomach.
"Yes?"
"The pain, it's still there isn't it? I could take it away…." He asked placing his right paw over her belly and slowly started moving it up and down.
"I…."
"Seras…."
"Yes…." She whispered
"Will you scream for me?"
The sweet, blissful sensation spread through her again. What the hell was he doing to her? The hand moved going towards her chest but stopping just under it, then moved back down in the direction of her hip bones and lower abdomen. Also not going further. And with every stroke the pleasure would increase a little and the pain decrease. It caused her to moan out loud once.
"Seras…"
Then again and again, and again…
"Remember to scream."
The long pink tongue dared out a new to lick the remainder of crimson from her throat while his hand moved under the blanket covering her frame. The soft fur now fully pressed onto the pale skin. Another moan escaped as he pressed down mimicking his previous actions. Her body reacted within seconds by arching up into it and tilting her head back as to expose more of her slender throat out to him. The crimson soon disappeared, one lick after the other, but the wolf didn't stop there. The sensitive skin tasted so good. And seeing that she wasn't protesting either, why stop the sweet pleasure? Especially when she was offering herself like that.
"Ahhh…"
Her whole body was on fire, desperate for release. Skin burning and soul feeling like it was trapped within a raging inferno just waiting for the perfect moment to burst. Another push was all it took for her to arch up once more, forehead coming in contact with the soil. She screamed for all to hear. Just as he had asked of her. The invisible barrier surrounding and holding the powerful explosion back broke. The world fell and reformed within seconds before her closed eyes as her body slowly calmed down again. Chest still rapidly moving with so many unneeded breaths, hands flexing and releasing, everything going numb afterwards.
"Master…" She sighed.
"Seras….." Alucard's deep voice purring right next to her ear was the very last thing her mind focused on before loosing consciousness. It all turned blank. Then black.
To be continued...
Please don't forget to leave a little, tiny review so I may have a bribe to write further.
Next time:
"What do you see?" The draculina asked a hint of sadness in her soft voice.
"You. I see you, how beautiful you are draculina."
"I'm scared and tainted. There's nothing to see."
"You're more beautiful than you know. It will pass in time, heal."
"They're permanent. I don't want them."
She crossed her arms over her chest gripping her upper arms in the process. "I look horrible, I feel it. No one would look at m…"
"You're beautiful." Alucard's voice replied sounding a bit stronger than he planed.
"I'm not!" Seras screamed at him as she turned around and got out of the water not even bothering to make sure she knew where she was going.
Bye, bye
