Curse of the Belmont Clan
Book II: Sonia of Belmont
Chapter Five: Sonia's Resolve
Sonia had finally come to; father was standing over her as well as Grazi and Marton. The night sky was beginning to wane, soon it would be morning and they would have to leave her side.
"Father!" Sonia said sounding startled.
"You're finally awake my child." Varacolaci said. "Are you alright?"
"Yes." She responded softly. "Last night."
"Was no dream Sonia." Varacolaci said sternly. "I want to you know the truth about our family."
"Yes young Mistress." Grazi said. "It is time you learn the ways of the vampires."
"There will be time enough for that later Grazi." Varacolaci replied sternly. "But now, our time here is short, it will be dawn soon and we must sleep until nightfall."
"Father." Sonia questioned. "Why?"
"Why what Sonia?"
"Why all the deception?" She said angrily.
"As I said before Sonia, to protect you."
"From what?"
"I lost your mother because of what I am." He said lightning up his normal stern tone. "I did not wish to loose you as well."
"Father."
"Listen Sonia." Varacolaci said holding her tightly. "There are things you do not understand about our world and the human world. Humans hate us. We are shunned and scorned; I didn't want you to have to know what that was like. Here you are loved and well protected."
"But father."
"Listen to me child." He said letting go of Sonia and staring deeply into her crystal blue eyes. "Humans deserve no pity or mercy; they are merely food for vampires. They are weak and inferior to us in every way, the less interaction we have with them the stronger the vampire clan shall be."
Sonia looked into her father's dark hazel eyes and for the first time ever, she was afraid of him. The words he spoke sent a cold chill down her spine, she never knew father could be so callus; this was not the same father she knew.
"Our time is growing ever shorter Sonia." Varacolaci said. "When I arise tonight, I want you there."
"Ye-Yes father." She said softly.
"Good girl." He said kissing her on the check. "Grazi, Marton, it is time for us to depart."
"Yes my Lord." The said in unison preparing to exit Sonia's room
"If ever you wish to venture outside the forest again, you have my permission Sonia, but I would not recommend it. You are not strong enough to fend against a horde of humans."
Varacolaci and the others departed, leaving Sonia there to contemplate everything that had happened. Father was so cold and wicked, that was a side of him she'd never seen, and never wished to see it again. He was so scary as he talked about the humans. From everything she had seen when she went into town with Alucard yesterday, they seemed harmless enough. It was true they were very frightened of her and Alucard, but surely that didn't make them weaker or inferior. She had to know if what father said was true, but the only one who could tell her the truth would be Alucard. She had to find him.
A few hours later, Sonia had dressed and asked one of the coachmen to take her to see Lord Alucard. The ride to the Tepes castle was long and often times frightening. There were all kinds of horrifying monsters that lurked around the forest that surrounding the massive castle. Thankfully none of them had dared disturb the carriage that Sonia was traveling in. Finally after a very long ride, the carriage was coming to a stop.
When the carriage had come to a complete stop, Sonia was greeted by one of the servants of the house who instantly helped out of the carriage.
"What is your business here young lady?" The servant questioned.
"I am here to see Lord Alucard."
"And who may I ask are you?"
"I am Lady Sonia Varacolaci, Master Alucard's betrothed."
"Oh my lady." The servant said bowing deeply. "Please forgive my insolence; I shall alert his Lordship of your arrival post haste."
