----------------------------------------------
The gleaming, mahogony door of Alucard's coffin opened with a minuet of tremendous creaking. The dhampire's eyes quickly scanned the room and instantly sensed that something wasn't right. What wasn't right? That's a simple one.
"Why am I awake," he stepped out of the coffin and wondered why he had awoken from eternal slumber. The only reason would be that he was needed to aid mortals, and he had already defeated his father. Unless...~someone is in this castle~
Immediately, his inference was responded by a loud crashing coming from one of the lower levels in the castle. Extremely irritated by the intrusion, Alucard found a staircase and tried to find the source of the noise.
"YOU IDIOTS! THAT IS AN ANTIQUE!" the shriek came from one of the libraries. Alucard followed it and found around a dozen mortals. The one who had been screaming about antiques stood in the center, giving commands to the others, who grudgingly lifted and positioned furniture. "Oh, hello. Who might you be?" the one who gave orders greeted Alucard with a dazzling smile.
"The owner of this castle," for some odd reason, his icy stare did not seem to affect the mortal.
"Oh, no, that's not right. I bought this place last month. Who are you anyway?"
"...call me Alucard,"
"...You got a last name, 'hon?"
~hon? What does that mean?~
"Tepes. My name is Adrian Fahrenhit Tepes,"
"...But you just said-" the young woman thought for a moment. "Tepes? Oh, my," she took out a stack of papers and looked through them. "...You can't be...a..."
"What,"
At this, the other mortals stopped moving and listened intently to the woman's silence. "GET BACK TO WORK!" she commanded, and then stared at Alucard and shook her head. "This tells me about the previous owners of this castle. Their last name was Tepes but..." she looked back down at the document. "It says that the last member of the family disappeared 600 years ago, and his name was Adrian Tepes,"
~600 years...that's how long I've been sleeping.~
Alucard shifted uncomfortably. How was he going to explain his history to a mortal?
"All of you, get out," commanded the mortal. The ones moving furniture immediately filed out of the room.
"I'd appreciate it if you leave my castle," hinted Alucard.
"I hate to tell you this, but I invested a lot of money into this place, and I'm really not about to leave it without a refund," she shrugged. "Come closer,"
Alucard threw her a sharp glare. He did not like receiving orders from a mortal, and she didn't look much older than 18. Nevertheless, his curiosity overpowered his stubborness and he took a few steps toward the mortal. The mortal tilted her head and stared at him as if there was a bat sitting on his head and he didn't know it.
"...You're not human, are you," she didn't even say it like it was a question. It was as if she already knew.
"Why would you say that?"
"I got a feeling. And besides, just look at your skin," she gently lifted one of his hands. Alucard flinched. He wasn't expecting a mortal to want to get anywhere near him.
"You assume that I'm a dhampire because of my skin?"
"Oh, but see, you just admitted it. I never said that you were a dhampire. You just told me," the impossibly beautiful smile left her face. "...Whatever a dhampire is,"
"...A half human, half vampire,"
"Ah," the smile returned, lavishly sweeping across her face.
~why does this mortal not fear me?! Did she not understand what I told her?!~
"I suggest you leave this place for the sake of your own life," it was hard to keep a low volume when he spoke. No matter how many times he warned the mortal, she really just didn't get it.
"Hey, like I told you. I spent too much money on this place. I really can't leave," she absentmindedly wiped the edge of a table with her index finger. "Of course, I don't see why you have such a problem with it,"
Alucard opened his mouth to object but she cut him off.
"You're one pers-dhampire...and I'm one mortal. 2 creatures living in this huge castle. It really can't be that hard. I'll bet we'll never even see each other. I'll pretend you're not here, and you can do the same for me,"
"YOU JUST DON'T GET IT, DO YOU?!" well, keeping a low volume just went out the window.
"...I suppose not. But I sure will find out soon enough, won't I?"
"If you wish to stay, then it is your life to lose, not mine. I have tried to warn you," Alucard gave up left the library.
"NICE MEETING YOU, ADRIAN!" she screamed, half-mockingly.
~Adrian? No one's called me that for a few centuries...speaking of which, what year is this?~
