Aurora was still asleep, when Alucard came into her room to check on her. He smiled when he saw her sleeping "Just like an.. Angel.." He mused. But yet he was worried about her, since she had cried about her parents the first time he met her. He had dedicated himself to her, he wanted to help his kin, even though he felt like he could never help her what she was dealing with. Soon Aurora woke seeing Alucard's kind face. "Good morning Adrian. How long have you been here?" She inquired. Alucard smiled "Not long, come breakfast." It was Aurora's turn to smile as she got up from the bed and walked into the eating area.
Nathan still lived with Morris, and Hugh. Hugh looked at Nathan who was in a hurry apparently. "Nathan what is with the hurry?" Hugh questioned his dueling partner. Nathan had short gray hair that matched his dark blue eyes. He wore his usual apparel, a tight dark green shirt, which was short sleeved, with silver cuffs. A small chest plate covering his chest where the heart and lungs would be. Over that was a reddish-brown vest, with a white collar turned around his neck. With light brown and black on his shoulders. Along with white gloves with black cuffs, that went to his wrist. Two silver belts crossing over each other, with a bit of his half tunic covering most of the right side of the belts. His half tunic was the same color as his vest, with yellow lining. Lastly with black and sliver leg armor, the silver part went to his knees, the black the rest of the way up his leg.
Nathan looked at his friend Hugh, "Why do you want to know?" Hugh snickered. Hugh was man around Nathan's age, he had long brown hair that went a little past his shoulders with brown eyes. He wore mostly black and grey. He wore a grey jacket that went a bit above his wrist with black cuffs, underneath he wore a tight black turtleneck. He had a strange chest plate, it was in the middle of his chest, with grey straps coming to hold it on, and the plate had a grey cross on it. He had black gloves that went to the end of his jacket. Also had dark brown belts crossing like Nathan's. His grey half tunic was covering the left side of his belts and it went down to his upper thigh. Lastly he wore black armor, and a dark gray armor that went to his knee. "Well, usually your not in any hurry, Nathan." Hugh pointed out.
Morris agreed with his son "He's right Nathan." Nathan sat down, "Well I'm meeting this girl with her friends, in front of the ruins of Dracula's Castle."
Hugh chuckled "A GIRL, Nathan? Wow." Morris eyed Nathan. Morris was an old man, he had white hair and bald, he also had a beard. He also had brown eyes. He had silver chest armor, which was mostly covered by his dark green scarf that covered also his neck and shoulders and went down to his knees. His gloves went to his elbow, and were covered with metal. A belt was around his waist, and two others crossed which were gray, and held a knife. He wore brown pants, and had silver leg armor that went to his knees. "What is this girl's name?" Morris asked. Nathan nervously said "Aurora Bell, Master." Morris quirked an eyebrow "Her friends?"
Nathan answered "Two of them are her cousins Darien and Daria Fernandez, and man by the name of Adrian Farenheights Tepes."
Morris frowned that the name of "Tepes". "Tepes, the family of Dracula." Morris whispered. "What is it Father?" Hugh asked, Morris only smiled at his son "It's nothing."
Aurora, Alucard, Darien, and Daria were already at the ruins waiting for Nathan. "Hey, Aurora!" Someone shouted, Aurora looked to the voice and smiled. "Uriel Kishine you sneak!" Uriel only smiled. Uriel still had his piercing blue eyes, and his long dark brown hair in a loose ponytail. Uriel wore a dark green jacket, with a black shirt underneath it. He wore dark brown gloves, and of course his jacket was lined with black. He wore a cloth belt, which was dark yellow, and dark green pants. Lastly he wore black boots with gold metal tips. Oh also he wore a silver bracelet with a blue jewel in it, the same one that Maxim Kishine had wore. "How are you, Aurora?" Uriel asked. "I'm fine, oh I should introduce you." Uriel looked at Aurora and every one with her. "This is Adrian Farenheights Tepes." Alucard looked over at Uriel and said "Hello" Uriel took a good look at Alucard (I don't need to describe him again so I won't) and noticed he and Aurora looked alike. "They are my cousins Darien and Daria Fernandez." He looked at the twins, he saw Daria first she had lavender hair and light green eyes. She wore a black and orchid dress. The sleeves were black and went to her elbows, with white puffs of cloth. The orchid part was coming from the sleeves and parted a little over her chest, and it ended mid-dress it also had a black bow on it. The rest of the black was puffed on the bottom, and she wore white boots and white tights. She also had a black choker, with a golden marks on it.
Daria smiled and said "Hello, Uriel" Darien looked "Hello" Uriel next looked at Darien. He had blonde hair with reddish-brown eyes. He wore a crimson trench coat that parted into three pieces like Juste's, and the collar turned up around his neck. He wore black gloves that went a little past his wrist. Underneath the coat he wore a white shirt, with the collar showing, and over that was a black belt with a gold buckle. The white shirt hanged out over his pants. Attached to Darien's belt was a scabbard, which was silver and dark purple. His pants were a medium blue, his boots were black, with a strip of gold and the cuff of the boot was also golden. Silver metal was covering the ankle to the middle of his foot. The handle of his sword was a dark purple with a red jewel in it. Uriel finally looked at Aurora, She's as beautiful as ever.. Uriel thought. Unlike the first time, she had a normal braid, and most of her light hair was on her shoulders, and the braid went passed her knees. She wore burgundy earrings. Her outfit was black and silver. The collar that fluffed around her neck was silver, along with the cuffs of her sleeves. The top was black with puffed short sleeves, covering her chest was white cloth that were in ruffles, and close to that were blood red design. Her belt was of cloth, which was burgundy, that was tied and came to her lower calf. Her gloves were white and the cuffs burgundy, they went to the wrist. The rest of the top was like a skirt, that was slanted at the bottom and went to her foot. Under was sliver shorts, and she wore white boots, that when to her upper calf. The top of the boot was red, with white wing like things on it. She also had silver metal on the foot and heel of her boot.
Uriel next saw a golden arm bracelet on her right arm, and on the left arm he saw the bracelet that Juste used to wear. It was gold with a red jewel. "Your wearing Juste's bracelet." Aurora nodded "Yeah I know, and your wearing Maxim's." Uriel could only laugh. Daria looked over and smiled "Hey! Nathan, over here." Aurora, looked to see Nathan with another man, pointing to them. Aurora wondered who the man was, but smiled when Nathan came over "Hello, oh this is Hugh Baldwin. A friend of mine." Aurora smiled as she looked him and nodded. Nathan saw Uriel "Who's that?" he asked and Uriel spoke for himself 'I'm Uriel Kishine! Great-grandson of Maxim Kishine!" Aurora shook her head Well he's certainly proud of his clan… Like I am…but my clan is so famous…. Aurora thought. Nathan gawked "Kishine, they are friends to the Belmont clan, why are you here with Aurora she's no Belmont." Uriel was really pissed off now "What not a Belmont?! Why you son-of-a-b…Ouch!!!!" Aurora had stomped on his foot to shut Uriel up. Nathan was confused now, while Aurora silently scolded Uriel. "What the hell are you thinking Uriel?" Uriel looked at his childhood friend "No, what are you thinking? Are you not proud of your clan?" Uriel angrily whispered. Aurora opened her mouth and said nothing, short time passed when she whispered back "Yes, I'm proud of my clan, but we are so famous. I wanted a break from it." Uriel didn't glare at her, just smiled and nodded. "Well, us Kishine's have other friends, besides the Belmont's. Aurora's is one of them." Nathan nodded. "Nathan? The others?" Hugh said Nathan nodded. "This is Daria Fernandez and her twin brother Darien." Daria and Darien nodded at Hugh. "And this is Adrian Farenheights Tepes." Alucard only nodded at Hugh.
"Well, where are we going Nathan?" Aurora asked. Nathan snapped out of his trance, for he was admiring Aurora's beauty. "Well, anywhere besides in that ruin." As he pointed to the ruins of Drac's castle. Daria and Darien whispered at the same time "Thank you, God." Alucard glanced back at it over his shoulder. "Well lets go, we can into town." As Aurora walked past Nathan, saw her whip, it had a dark brown handle, gold metal on it and the rest of it was black. Nathan continued to stare at her, Uriel noticed and was jealous. Everyone but Nathan and Uriel were walking away from the ruins. Soon Nathan felt a whip around his waist, "Are you coming, Nathan?" Aurora asked in a cute voice, Nathan just nodded dumbly. Uriel was now really jealous, She always did that to me! He thought angrily. He ran up to Nathan and placed his hand on his shoulder, and Nathan looked back at Uriel. "Aurora is mine!" Uriel hissed at Nathan, and Nathan was still being dragged a little by Aurora's whip. "What?" Nathan asked, Uriel frowned "Don't play dumb with me! I know you like her. You just stay out of my way, she's mine dumb-ass." Nathan glared at him, "How dare you!" with that Nathan jumped upon Uriel and both fought. Aurora felt the tugging and heard the fist-fight going on. "Oh boy…." She whispered, Alucard heard her and asked "What?" Aurora pointed behind her as she stopped. Alucard looked over his shoulder and sighed as he saw Nathan and Uriel fighting. Hugh chuckled, Darien sighed as well, while Daria laughed.
Aurora just shook her head, and pulled her whip away from Nathan's waist. I'm I seriously falling for Nathan? I haven't even known him for that long… She thought to herself. "I wonder what there fighting over?" Alucard whispered to Aurora. "I kind of don't want to know." Alucard agreed with her. "Aurora, do you want me to separate them?" Daria asked longing to use her magic. Aurora looked at Daria and smiled "Fine, go on ahead." Daria jumped with glee. Hugh was amazed by the energy of Daira, and yet was also amazed by her beauty as Nathan was with Aurora. Daria placed her hands, in the direction of Nathan and Uriel then pulled them away from each other. Hugh was surprised, that Nathan and Uriel where doing what her hands were doing. So were Nathan and Uriel, by being pulled apart with no one grabbing them. Darien complemented on his sister's abilities, Daira look at her twin and thanked him. She held them separate from each other and held the muscles down so they couldn't move. Aurora went over to the two "Okay you two, no more fighting." When she said that Daira released them from her magic, and they both nodded. After that they kept pace with the rest of the group.
"Hey Nathan, who are you parents?" Nathan looked down "It really doesn't matter, now." Aurora looked worried "Why?" Nathan looked at her "They were killed while banishing Dracula, with my Master Morris Baldwin." Aurora put on a kind smiled, Alucard looked at Aurora and thought Right now, she looks like mother… He smiled. "I'm sorry, Nathan" Nathan put on a smile "It's alright.. What about your parents? What happened to them?" Aurora stopped and stared at the ground. "The…. They were killed in a fire, they were bu-. Burned al..ive…" Nathan regretted asking her about her parents. Aurora again saw the glowing eyes, and the ring of fire around her. She was in a trance again, Alucard was worried now every time this happened it got worse. Hugh, Nathan, Daria, and Darien were shocked that Aurora was going into such a trance. It really didn't surprise Uriel and Alucard, but Uriel had only seen it once before, Alucard saw it many times in her company. It occur more of the time when someone mentioned the death of her parents. Again she saw her parents in agonizing pain being burned alive, and the voice again saying it was all her fault. It went even further "Aurora, everyone blames you for your parent's death. Even you're Grandparents, blame you." After the voice said that, her parents disappeared and were replaced with her family Richter, Annette, and Maria and they too were being burned alive. "You will cause the death of the ones you care the most about, child." The voice said in her head.
Then they were gone to, and her cousin took there place, and again being burned to death. Outside she started crying, and whispered "Why…why are you doing this to me?" Everyone was worried, everyone but Alucard and Uriel had never seen her this way.
"You will cause everyone, that you care about to die child. Even the ones you love, the closest to you." She saw even Alucard being burned to death, along with Nathan. Before she saw Hugh and Uriel being burned alive. She grabbed her head, and fell to ground onto her knees. Her heart ache of pain and also of love. She knew more about Nathan then she thought, during this she thought back to a dream she had when she was seventeen.
Aurora was with the man of her life, he looked like Nathan in fact it was Nathan. This dream was before she knew Nathan. "Aurora I love, you." Aurora smiled and kissed him "I love you too, Nathan"
She thought During the age of seventeen I had dreams with Nathan, I had only forgotten… She knew everything about Nathan… but she didn't know how she could, she guessed being with him was what destiny, had chosen for her life and Nathan's. Soon the fire around her intensified nearly engulfing her in the flame. Then everyone was burnt corpse on the ground, but yet seeming to say "It's your fault… we are all dead…" She was horrified at the image, and she nearly crushed her temple with her strength, being part vampire. Alucard could see the blood coming down the sides of her head. She stood, and placed the bloodily fingered hands, at her side. Her light blue eyes dulled with pain, in her soul and in her heart. Without notice she let out an ear-piercing scream, and everyone noticed the word 'no' in the scream. This time she didn't faint, she just stood there and cried the color of her eye returned. Alucard came up to her "Aurora?" in a voice in which was worried. Aurora looked at Alucard, tears in her eyes, and blood on her face. "I.. I'm fine…" Nathan not knowing he hugged Aurora from behind and Aurora took comfort, in the gentle embrace. Alucard looked in Aurora's face and knew that she wasn't alright something was bugging her and he wanted to find out what that 'thing' was. While Uriel glared at Nathan, but came up to hug Aurora took, she looked at her friend and took comfort with his embrace as well.
