The animal that he followed ambled on at a slow pace through the forest, though after some time it seemed to discover that it was being followed and rounded on its tracker. It was a large creature, not the thing he had faced in the school but something else; a bigger, darker demon, three sets of eyes, reverting to two in an instant as it turned on him. It was a hell hound and where there was that creature; there was a master vampire to control it. Keeping his amusement inside, he called to the thing, beckoning it.

"Where is your master? Show yourself demon and let us end it."

Nothing came, but the hound turned its back on him and howled. It was a wolf's howl, deep throated and bellowing, whatever controlled it was coming. Alucard could feel it in the air around him, and in the ground where he stood. It was not a vampire but something else, a very powerful human, or possibly a wizard. Can wizards hold such power; they are human after all.?

After waiting for a mere moment the area around him and the demon grew thick, and colder, as though a mist was settling in. He reached for his weapon of choice, the Jackal but as he unhooked the holster it was blown away from him.

"Now now, attacking with a play thing like that? I have seen what you can do, nearly killing a child when you thought it was a monster, how can you call yourself a man?"

"Did I? I am no man, nor are you, sending a demon of hell to attack children instead of doing it yourself. Like the rest of the human race it seems you are pathetic, worse than the scum on the bottom of the pond. Have you nothing to say in your defense monster?"

"Silence!"

Alucard was thrown backward into a tree; he hit it sliding to the ground with a small groan. He stood again, growling at the darkness.

"Show yourself, or shall I fight the one I cannot see? This should prove interesting. Unlocking seals to level 2, temporary detachment will not return until target is silenced." He attacked then, his coat flowing out behind him and the familiar creature that he prides himself on coming out of his body as if it were actually him transforming. The demon dog that was once a man assaulted the monster before him, ripping at its flesh until it was nothing more than a pile of blood and muscle tissue. He laughed evilly, cursing the demon that sent the pathetic excuse.

"Come out here and meet your death before I find you!"

Taking the challenge, the assailant appears taking the form of a man. He was a tall creature, seeming in size to Alexander Anderson, and yet not as demented. The thought ran through Alucard's mind; he brushed it off as insanity or possible lack of a proper meal and waited for the onslaught.
