Chapter 8:
The moment in which Alucard took to look in the surrounding areas left him vulnerable, as in the exact same moment, the captain stopped yelping and was standing in front of him. The men stopped laughing in the same moment as well, but only because the captain yelled at them. The captain; fuming heavily, his eyes a dark red, bent to kill, and his muscles rippled in his furry, stood in front of Alucard.
"Stupid dog, you will PAY!" With this, the captain did what he was trying to do. He kicked Alucard in the stomach, hard, and kept kicking. Alucard, who is used to this, or should be do to his age, merely took it, as he was still looking around. Yes, there was someone there, but he could not see who. Then, he looked at the captain, who seemed to be kicking in all his furry. Alucard had the taste of blood in his mouth, and decided to just lay there once the captain finished, as usual; Alucard was up to something…
"See men, no more than a dog who can not defend himself. Let's see who has the last laugh: MWH HA HA…" He looked at the crowd evilly, daring them to laugh, but the men were not that stupid. "Alright, this dog is nothing, not even worthy going to see the lord, so let dead dogs lie." He said, pointing his finger at Alucard all the while.
He he he…fool, do not point a finger at a dog! With this thought in mind, Alucard, who was playing a nice bit of being dead and motionless, with one motion moved his head up and opened his mouth widely. He allowed his powerful jaws to shut automatically on the captain's finger and tugging at it until the whole finger came off, squirting blood everywhere. The captain howled with pain, seeing his own blood soak the ground, while Alucard growled low in his throat, showing that he has not given up yet.
The men stood motionless, barely believing what they saw, as the captain was one of their strongest, they knew that no ordinary dog could just rip off a chunk of him as if it were a piece of bread. They surrounded their captain, making sure that he would be okay. Meanwhile, Alucard spit up the finger, and tossed it to the ground. Yuck, bad blood…mwh ha ha…no matter, this won't take much longer. I've fallen even farther behind Seras, and at this rate, I will never find her.
The captain, still shouting over his hand, now barked orders. "Idiots, don't just stand around. GO after him!" With this they all lunged at Alucard, taking different sides the whole time. Alucard knew this would be tricky; he did not have a chance to transform back to his normal state, so fighting as a dog was definitely something new to him. He backed himself to the tree, looking at all of them through his six eyes, keeping track of who was where, and dodged the first who lunged into the tree behind him. Alucard stood back a little and saw the one in the tree, and he grinned lightly. Ha ha, the captain was right, they are idiots…mwh ha ha.
Alucard now awaited for the rest, which was not that long; and lunged at the first one he could sink his teeth into, literally. He jumped, biting the leg of the first one, and, with his paws to keep him stable on the ground, started tossing him around with the flick of his head. Alucard's eyes detected movement behind him, so with out a pause, and already tossing around one of the man-bats, he threw this one into the one behind him; knocking both senselessly into the ground. Blood dripped from Alucard's teeth, leaving even more stains on the ground, but it was not his blood.
The moment he took to look at the mess behind him, he inverted his eyes in front, allowing him to become surrounded in front, and without a chance to transform, he was in a sticky situation. He growled low, and snickered at the ten left, with the captain uselessly in the corner, just from a lone bite. By surrounding him, they rushed at Alucard all at once, but being Alucard, he was not going to take this lying down.
Alucard might not have had a chance to transform, but that did not leave him out of options. He rolled around the first attacker, barely missing the second, and by extending his tail into a blaze of black fire, he lashed it at the third, ripping apart its insides. This was not a pretty sight, and made a bloody mess on the ground, while Alucard laughed all the same. This new development of his tail distracted the attackers momentarily, long enough for him to lengthen his dog hair more, and power up slightly. Alucard's black hair now stood on end in all directions, making an evil appearance, as the hair seemed to mess into one continuous black mass with six red eyes and a big set of jaws.
As the man-bats stared in amazement, Alucard used this to his advantage and bawled at them, knocking one to the ground and biting at the neck. While the others stared in horror, Alucard's eyes shifted dangerously, as if to dare the next to lunge at him. When Alucard finally ripped the head off of that one, gruesomely with blood all over, he picked up the head in his mouth, holding it by the ears as they had no hair, still staring at them. In one swoop, he tossed his head back, throwing up the head, and whipped his tail at it, sending the head soaring into some unexpected victim.
Alucard cackled low in a growl, still looking menacing, while the one that went into the tree before started to get up groggily. Mwh ha ha…the more the merrier. At this thought, a man-bat from the side attacked, hand outstretched to kill. Alucard, not noticing him coming, became clenched at the neck, still smiling all the same. With his hair extended, Alucard wrapped it around the man-bat, making them into points which he ran through him. The man-bat spat up blood and went down hard, unfortunately trapping Alucard as he went down. As Alucard was in dog form, he lacked the physical strength to pick himself up, and his hair was stuck as it was still through the man-bat.
Alucard became a little worried as they approached, struggling and biting and pawing to break free of this hold on him. Oh, this is just great. Even his mind was sarcastic at this. Now I am stuck under some half vampire and probably going to be taken to a room and tortured till all my blood runs out. Not that I would mind being bloodless, but isn't that always the case? He asked himself, laughing at his own stupidity, as the man-bats only advanced further.
The captain in the back still roaring orders, his face turning a paler black from the blood loss which seemed to never stop. "Good, now, kill him. KILL HIM!" They advanced more, and Alucard still grinned, death has never stopped him before, it will not stop him now. Hmm…now the fun begins…mwh ha ha…Alucard mused.
