I watched him, wanted to run towards him, but after the scare he gave me,
trying to strangle me, I was afraid. The old man beside me turned, his
sands in his hands. He knelt and blew the pattern away, I watched it
scatter and leave the broken body of the creature. He looked at me then and
with a small commanding voice ordered me.
"He is in the family now, control him and never remove the bonds."
I nodded but did not respond further. Seras led him away as I watched the vampire on the floor. Something possessed me and I knelt beside him, my hand on his back. He pulled his head up after a moment and looked at me, a strange look in his eyes, as though he was in pain. I figured he was, after all, what we had put him through was like torture. But what about what he put me through? Did he know the pain that he caused me?
He got up slowly, never uttering a word, I wondered if he remembered any of his outburst. Sitting on his knees in front of me, he reached on of his bloody hands out and touched my face, smearing blood across my cheek. I moved away from him, and the confused look on his face was too much for me to deal with. He had hurt me, not physically, but mentally, emotionally. Those men were my men, and I thought I could trust him, after what I went through to find him and this house, he couldn't know. I left him down there, alone. I couldn't face the monster right now, I wanted to scream or cry or do something, but there was nothing.
Going up the stairs to the office I began to understand why my sister had been so cold and lifeless. It was because of him, because she knew what he could be, what he could do. I'm afraid of him now, what will happen to our relationship now that he's been resealed? The office is dark and lonely, the moon beams are on the couch, but there's no Alucard there. I'm crying, why am I crying?
*P.O.V. change *
I can hear her above me, sobbing into the desk. My brain feels like mush, lord, there's blood everywhere. There are burns on my hands, the seal pattern has been returned. Now what? Our relationship seems to have turned; she will grow cold just as her sister did in the past. So much for second chances. It's my own fault I suppose; I destroyed everything just as I always do. She's so upset, I can't comfort her, I'm the one who did this to her in the first place.
History repeats itself but with this one we have an eternity together, whether she likes it or not, there is no easy way out.
