As the morning sun began shining through the windows, Avatre was already up and getting ready to leave. Sighing, she closed the door to her closet. There were tears in her eyes, there because what she was about to do would haunt her for the rest of her life. Slowly, she made her way over to her mirror and looked up. Champagne eyes looked back at her, framed by moonlight silver hair. This was the face the villagers feared. The one they banished from the streets. The tears began streaming down her face. "Why? Why do they fear me so? I have done nothing wrong." she whispered, asking the gods. However she knew that that was a lie. She had done something to make them fear her now more than ever.
A few years eariler, she had given in to the dark side that was in her soul. She felt her mind beginning the open the long shut away memories but she quickly closed them once more. After taking a deep breath, she grabs a black ribbon from her desk and ties her hair into a ponytail, much like her mother's and because of her mother's magic, her hair changed from silver to sunlight blonde. She looked into the mirror once more. This was the face that the villagers welcomed. With this, she was just your average vampire huntress. She wiped the tears away with a gloved hand and made her way downstairs.
Her mother and father where in the dining hall, waiting for her. She shook her head, knowing what they were going to say before they even had a chance of opening their mouths. She sat down and began eating the food provided, knowing that she was going to need her strength. Her parents kept glancing at each other, as if talking mentally so that she couldn't hear them. The silence stretched out until Avatre sighed. "Say what you are thinking aloud so that i may know what i am doing wrong." They glanced at each other once more. Then her father turned to her.
"We do not think you are doing anything wrong, my daughter. Our only fear is for your safety." Adrian said to his only daughter. The one who had begged to be a vampire hunteress. The one he had watched grow into the beautiful woman that sat before them.
Avatre scoffed at them. "If your concern was solely for my safety, you would have told me before." She looked at her plate and then back at them. "I know you do not believe that i can do this and i do not ask for your approval. All that i ask is that you have faith in me and in my abilities both as a witch and as a vampire." she stood and walked over Alucard, embracing him from behind. "You have taught me well Father." She let him go and did the same to Maria. "As you did Mother." She stood before them. "There is no more you can do for me. No more you can teach me." She sighed and looked to the floor. "All that i ask of you is that you believe in my powers. Believe in my ability." She sighed and walked up to her room.
Her bag was packed and she simply added a few more things to it. She put it on and walked down to the front door where her parents were waiting for her. Alucard removed the sword from his belt and placed it on his daughter. "You will need this, my love." he stated simply. Avatre could sense the emotion in his heart and she wrapped her arms around him. "I love you, Father." Alucard squeezed her daughter. He didn't say anything but he didn't have to.
Maria turned to her daughter. "I do not have anything to give you, my darling. But i want you to know that i know you can do this and i wish you the best of luck. There is nothing left to teach you. We only hope you will never stay from the side of the light again..."
Avatre embraced her mother. "I will make you proud. Just be waiting for me when i get back." she said as she pulled away. Looking at her mother, she saw the tears beginning to well up. She turned and made her exit from the castle she had grown up in. With one last look at her loving parents, Avatre stepped forward in search of the infamous Castlevania.
