Disclaimer: I don't own Castlevania...I wanna move to Romania, tho lol
A/N: and yesh Lena's real name ish Galena lol iunno why i decided to use that name....
---------------------------------
The next morning, (or was it morning? Alucard could not tell. The whole castle was always covered in darkness. No exceptions...except for candles, that is) Alucard once again heard noise from downstairs. This was getting systematic. "Checking to see if mortal is still alive" was now officially part of his day's schedule...not that the contrast of day and night mattered much to him.
The mortal, Lena-she called herself, was in the entrance hall, surrounded by other mortals her age. Most of her companions spoke amongst themselves about the intense size and elegance of the castle while the rest stared in awe at their surroundings.
A girl Lena was talking to saw Alucard and said something to Lena, who turned around to face Alucard with an amiable expression, as always. "Yes, Adrian?" she acknowledged his unspoken question. "Don't say anything. I can explain,"
Alucard gave a nonexistent response and Lena proceeded.
"As you know, I spent a lot of money on the place. Sooooo I'm letting a few of my friends rent the East Wing of the first floor. When I get enough profit, I'll leave,"
Alucard considered the plan. If he were to make her friends leave, she would never get profit and, henceforward, never leave. On the other hand, though he would have to deal with 50-some mortals, he would eventually be left alone. Was he actually agreeing with Lena? This couldn't be. "I wouldn't call this a 'few'," he answered, curtly, yet showing no opposition toward the plan.
"More people, more profit, less waiting. What do you say, Adrian? PLEASE???"
"This had better work,"
"Oh, it will! You'll see! Thank you so much, Adrian!" Lena, of all doings, HUGGED (what a sin) Alucard to show her gratitude. This was even more shocking to the dhampire than the time in the library when Lena had noted his pale skin and held his right hand almost to his face to prove her point. Alucard was, if at all possible, now even more confused.
"Who is that, your butler or something?" asked Lena's tomboy friend as soon as Lena returned to the mass of mortals.
"No,"
"Then why's he here?" asked another girl, Serena.
"No reason,"
"That was VERY specific,"
"Alexis, just shut up, alright?!"
"Bu-"
"Lena, I think we have a problem..." Katie pointed at several approaching skeletal minions.
"...Did your freakshow friend do that?" asked Axe.
"He wouldn't,"
"...Uh isn't the idea to run AWAY from the skeletons?"
"Not necessarily..."
"...Lena...?"
Lena took a deep breath and closed her eyes. "DEATH! I NEED YOUR HELP!!!" nothing happened. "Crap,"
~damn! how can she be so stupid to trust Death?!~ Alucard pulled out his sword, but before he could do anything, a scythe swept through the air and hacked all the skeletons.
"...WHAT WAS THAT?!!!!!" Serena nearly fainted.
"AWESOME!" Axe smiled sheepishly.
"Thank you, Death," as quickly as he had appeared, Death vanished. Lena turned to Alucard. "Please tell me you did not summon them,"
"I didn't...I tried to warn you. Though my father is dead, his presence lives on. He never liked mortals much. Minions will come after each and every one of you here until you leave or perish,"
"That's friendly...oh, speaking of which. Who was your father?"
"Vlad Dracula Tepes,"
"Typical...there was just something about you. ok, I'll see you later. Bye, Adrian,"
"What if we get lost or something? Maybe THEY live here..." Cassidy's eyes widened.
"No, Cassidy, THEY don't live here...hmm I still need to choose a room. Someone come help me,"
"...um how many rooms are there?!"
"...1000...or more,"
"Spare us all,"
