Chapter 7:
Parental rights

Alucard had been petrified at the fact that she left. His paternal instincts were screaming. He couldn't tell anyone that the little vampire was his but he knew deep to his "soul" that she was his. Her scent smelled like him just enough. She acted more like him than the French woman that birthed her. The mother didn't die during birth which had surprised him. Most humans that have vampire children die before or while giving birth due to loss of blood. Mainly the loss is due from the child within draining the woman. The knowledge that the mother of his child is still alive has to do with the child. He would have drained the woman of all her blood so his child must have something wrong with her if she didn't drain the woman. Maybe it was the French blood that prevented her from doing such a thing.

He had to teach the child not to run away again whether or not the child was his. His master was going to take him out if he didn't get back with the child soon. Before he could leave he needed to show the Professor who was the dominant one in this "relationship." His child warmed over a wizard so easily. She was changing things in both the Professor's and his life. Many things are going to happen and Alucard knew that he wasn't going to prevent some of them. He wanted to see if she was capable of things and what she needed to do to succeed in life.

Professor, on the other hand, was different than most "humans" that he had encountered. Most humans would not be able to handle a vampire child but he was. It might have to do with magic. She is too young to use her vampiric powers so magic would affect her. Since he is the most powerful vampire walking the earth, he could defy the laws of magic.

He moved through the walls with ease. Slowly he made his way to the Professor's office. As he neared, he could hear Snape muttering things to himself. He sounded worried about something. Alucard stepped within the wall behind Snape and stood there just watching and waiting for the perfect, most natural response a human could make.

Snape was pacing back and forth worried as hell. He stopped to turn back and pace some more when he spotted Alucard and surprise flooded over his face. A grin of satisfaction grew slowly over the demon's face. Snape hadn't believed the promise that Alucard made to him about punishment and now it was all too real.

Alucard stalked closer to the Professor with the intent of punishment shown on his face, clearly. "You didn't believe me?" He questioned Snape. "Pity. I guess I will have to make you believe."

Snape couldn't say anything. He was in too much shock to even think of something clever or even move out of Alucard's reach. That was impossible anyway. Snape wasn't able to come to any conclusions on how to avoid punishment. Then Alucard was right in front of him with his hands on his waist. Alucard lifted him over his shoulder and headed for Snape's bedroom. More privacy that way, and to keep Snape's mangled cries from escaping, so it was thought.

Alucard placed the Professor on his feet in front of the bed. "Now, Professor, it's time for your punishment."

"For what?" questioned Snape clearly confused.

"You know damn well the reason," argued Alucard.

"You should have been watching her," retorted a stubborn Snape.

"Clearly I need to teach you the rules," he stepped closer to Snape. Alucard placed his hands forcibly onto the Professor's person and turned him around. He bent Snape over the edge of the bed. "You will not defy my orders." He declared as his hand fell back and landed on his butt with a loud smack that sounded almost too painful. Snape couldn't remember the last time he had been spanked but he could still remember the humiliation of it. Tears swelled in his eyes as another loud and almost painful smack hit his ears and his bum. A third smack landed and Snape had had enough. He forced Alucard to unhand him as he rose to his feet. He drew out his wand too fast for his own comfort and pointed it the horrible beast in front of him. Alucard smirked in response.

"Get out," stated Snape between clenched teeth. Of course Alucard doesn't do shit. "I said GET OUT." Snape repeated with a little more voice but still the bastard wouldn't move and just stood with that smirk still holding on his face. "BASTARD. Who the bloody hell do you think you are?! GET OUT OF MY ROOM!"

Alucard and his arrogance stood motionless as Snape's embarrassment turned to anger. Alucard was only impressed by the man's gall to stand up to him but other than that the man was going to be considered a bloody idiot for doing it though. Alucard moved quicker than the Professor and took the wand out of his hand. He was about to force the Professor into submission when the door flew open. Of all the dumbest things Alucard could have done it was to keep the door unlocked. Leeloo stumbled in holding a white bunny in her hands.

"Da' ie," she exclaimed with the utmost glee possible for her age. "Hop hop."

The child had always managed to somehow ruin everything involving Alucard's actions towards Snape and Snape was grateful. This child is so easily fascinated with the smallest matters. Alucard wanted to get rid of the child so he devised a quick plan that would make her leave.

"Da' ie," she spoke again. "Hop hop, Da' ie."

"Go put the rabbit back where you found it," he demanded her while he still had Snape in his sights.

She glared with a her might at the monster, "Da' ie." she spoke to Snape.

"Sweety, where did you find it?" Professor questioned her with gentleness.

She turned and walked towards the door. She paused for a moment waiting for him to follow her. Since she was his child, he followed behind her with some curiosity. She led the two men from the castle to the edge of the Dark Forest that was laying close to the lake. She had found the rabbit close to the edge of the forest. He was pretty worried that she had wandered too far, then a thought struck his mind.

"Why was she outside in the first place?" Professor questioned aloud and most to Alucard.

"Because you weren't watching her," remarked Alucard trying to redirect the blame back on Snape.

"No, she ran off to me because YOU didn't watch her properly," retorted Snape with his anger and irritation level rising by the minute. "Then YOU upset her and she ran off again. YOU had to get your punishment in while YOU left her UNSUPERVISED! Now what is the common factor?!"

"Him," chimed Leeloo.

Snape gestures to Leeloo, "Exactly."

Alucard was in a state of mild shock for no man had ever spoken to him in such a way and he wasn't going to let it start now. He grabbed Snape by the arm and bent him over and whooped him on the bottom.

"Don't ever talk to me like that again!" Alucard spoke firmly and had this crazy aura about him that completely terrified Leeloo and Snape.

Snape wasn't going to back down as easily as Alucard wanted. "YOU need to KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT. She is only TWO. She could have gotten kidnapped or even KILLED and all this would be ON YOU!"

Alucard was speechless but his anger was too great. "DON'T you tell me how to take care of MY CHILD." Alucard was in Snape's face, fangs showings and all.

Snape felt as though he were going to wet himself but he ended up with exactly what he wanted and was slightly satisfied. "I will because you're not DOING IT! Wait, y-your child?" Snape questioned with a small smirk.

Alucard was was beyond himself. He was surprised that he even let that something slip. No human had ever made him slip up before. Snape was different. He was more intelligent than that of the average human. Snape was intriguing, interesting, and somewhat unpredictable. Alucard didn't know how to respond to this man at the current moment except he had to feign his anger to a point. Alucard sighed, "Yes, my child. I don't need to explain any further to you."

Snape was speechless and couldn't fully comprehend the conversation anymore. He felt as if he were happy that he wouldn't have to deal with the half-vampiric child or the vampire numbskull in front of him. Yet he didn't want to get rid of them completely he still wanted to be with Leeloo more.

"Severus?" Alucard questioned with curiousness. "Are you alright?"

"You still can't have her," Snape mumbled as he glared at Alucard.

"Are you trying to piss me off?!" Alucard exclaimed.

"Watch your tone," Snape snapped back.

"I AM NOT a little child that you can order around."

"Then STOP acting like one," Snape remarked with a pride of a Professor. "In the mean time of the argument did you even notice that Leeloo disappeared yet again. You are not getting it are you? Leeloo needs more care than any regular child that you may have had. She is different."
Alucard "I haven't had a regular child in over 500 hundred years."

"Shush. Leeloo come on out." replied Snape.

"Did you just 'shush' me?" Alucard was astonished.

"Does it matter? We need to find Leeloo." replied Snape.

"Yes it does," Alucard got in Snape's face. "No one and I mean NO ONE shushes me."

"So your stupid pride is more important than your child?" Snape got right back in Alucard's face.

"She's my child, she can handle herself. She got this far after all!" Alucard smirk arrogantly.

"She is also my child now and I will look for her even if you don't." Snape turned to walk into the Forest.

Alucard yanks him back. "Get back to your students 'Professor,' I will look for my daughter."

"They're fine. I know this Forest better than anyone." replied the Professor.

"I don't care, you have 'eat me' written all over you," responded Alucard.

"I am not arguing with you over this," Snape stated pulling out his wand.

Alucard turns around and grabs his collar walking away from the forest, "Neither am I, stay here." He hangs Snape up on a tree at the edge.

"Bloody hell, you BASTARD!" yelled Snape.

"I'll wash your mouth out later for your language," Alucard walked in after Leeloo.

Alucard looked around the base of the tree a few feet into the forest. She had her hands over her ears with her knees pulled up to her were running down her face. She couldn't handle the yelling. She was terrified of Alucard and how he was acting.

She was mumbling to herself, "No, no, no."

Alucard, "Shush now, Pappa's here, now." Alucard barely touched her and she reacted with a jump and a yelp. He moved to pick her up.

She backed away from him crying, "Nooo."

She continued to back up a little bit more and then just sat down again balling. Alucard moved toward her and picked her up. After a few more minutes of tears, she fell asleep in Alucard's arms.

"She's fine," Alucard spoke to Snape they walked back into the clearing by the lake. "She's exhausted." Alucard grabbed Snape and placed him back on the ground. He turned and walked towards the castle before Snape could have a chance at taking her from him.
