Hello!...Hello everyone!

Sorry for being a day late!... And I am so happy to see how you guys are enjoying the story so far and I hope you stay tuned for more!

Here is the new chapter!

Alucard's eyes widened when he heard the voice, he sat up and looked around, searching for the source of the voice. he looked left and right but found no one. he stood up from the ground and circled the tree thinking maybe that the other person was hiding behind it

"Who is here?!" he called."Show yourself!" he demanded.

"I'm right here." the voice said.

He looked at the tree, where the voice had come from. looking up the tree again he couldn't see well because of the many leaves and branches on the tree, so he believed maybe someone was hiding up there. he gritted his teeth in anger at the coward that dared to strike him and hideaway up the tree.

"Then get down here you coward and face me," he called again.

"I am facing you, you dense." the voice said. "First you hurt me for no reason and now you are insulting me, how rude."

Alucard froze at that.

"...Hurt...you?" He repeated in confusion, he did not even see them yet and they already accuse him of hurting them. The only thing he hit was...the tree...

He took a few steps back, away from the tree to get a good look at it. His eyes widened and his mouth was slightly open in shock as he saw how one of the tree branches bent in an angel that he was sure that it would make it snap but it didn't, the branch bent and started brushing over the place where he had punched it, before going back up as if nothing happened. after a long moment of silent, Alucard talked.

"You...you can speak?" He asked wanting to make sure that he wasn't going insane over the lake of food and water.

"How surprising so can you," It said sarcastically, and the response would have made him angry if he wasn't so fascinated but that didn't mean that he wasn't a bit irritated by it.

"And a sharp one too..." He muttered to himself, Alucard licked his lips before continuing. "Hey, tree!"

"Don't call me 'Tree'!" It said offended, this made Alucard rise a brow.

"But you are a tree are you not?" he asked.

"NO!...I mean… yes ... I am now!...b..but I wasn't..." The tree struggled to explain, as if it wanted to say something but couldn't. "Anyway, Just don't call me 'Tree' I have a name!"

"How could I have known that a tree has a name?" Alucard asked shrugging his shoulders.

"Because you are a rude brute who has no manners." It responded making Alucard half tempted to cut it down.

"You know if you had a tongue I would have already cut it." He warned in such a dark voice that would have the grown men quiver in fear, but The one he was facing was no man and didn't seem to care for his threat.

"To bad for you because I don't, so there!" It said in such a childish way that made Alucard wonder if he was indeed talking to a child. After all, trees do have a different life span than humans. He looked around him, remembering that he was lost and if he wanted to get out he would need some help and the only help he has now is a 'talking golden tree' who just happened to be an insolent one.

"If it was a child I better play my cards right if I ever want to get out of here." he thought to himself, so swallowing his pride Alucard gave a smile to the tree and tried his best to sound as friendly as possible.

"I am sorry for hurting you." he began. "I was just in a bad mood, for you see I was hunting a meal for myself and my prey happened to escape through these woods I followed it in hopes that I would catch it. I ran after it unaware of my surroundings and got lost." He faked a frown and a sad voice to try and get the tree's sympathy.

"Now, I'm not only lost but I'm also hungry, thirsty and tired." he sighed." When the doe escaped me, I got really angry and needed to get that anger out, that's why I punched you because you were the closest thing to me. if I have known that you could feel and talk I wouldn't have hurt you, that's why I am sorry."

He finished his 'Sincere' apology and waited for the tree's respond.

"You are Alone?" it asked concern clear in its voice, making Alucard grin in his head but didn't let it show.

"Yes, I am." he answered.

"...You can't find your way home?" it asked again.

"No, I can't."

It Paused and for a moment Alucard thought that his plan to play the victim had failed. However, it wasn't like he was lying, he was lost, he was tired, he was hungry and thirsty, he just left a few details out. It's not that he is desperate for help. If that tree thought that he would get on his knees and beg then It got another thing coming to it. He would just turn his back on it, find his own way out even if it took forever and then when he does he will come back and not only burn this damn woods to the ground he would take the joy out of causing the tree even greater pain. No one dares to try to insult him and get away with it. Magical tree or not, he will cut it down if it dared to try something on him. Before he knew it, the ground beneath him started to slightly shake, not strong enough to make him fall but strong enough to make him wobble.

"What is happen-" suddenly Water burst out of the ground near the tree and started to run down to the pond. the shaking stopped.

"Drink." It said. "The pond's water is not drinkable, you will get sick if you did drink it. That's why I conjured a drinkable one." The tree explained. then it lowered one of its branches that had many fruits hanging, that looked juicy, offering it to him.

"Take as many as you need, I always feed the animals that stumble upon me and from how they always come back, I can tell that it's delicious… try one!" It said cheerfully.

Feeling satisfied that he got into the tree's good side he reached out, took one of the fruits that kind of looked like a pear but golden and took a bite. when the juices of the fruit reached his taste buds his eyes shut open, it was the sweetest most delicious thing he had ever tasted, he took another bite savoring the taste. Bewilderment filled him when he reached the core of the fruit and found no seeds inside it.

"If there were no seeds then how did this tree even exist?"

After he finished the fruit he knelt down to the stream of water and dipped his cupped hands through it, it amazed him more when he realized the stream was not only clear but it was cold too and when he drank it he released a deep sigh of how good it felt as it washed down everything.

"You can rest here if you want." The golden tree said pulling him out of his thoughts. " I can help you get out of here any time, but it's kind of a long walk so why don't you rest a little first, right?"

Alucard looked back at where he had come from remembering the long walk he took, then looked up and saw that it will be night time in a couple of hours. Alucard took a moment to think, he really wanted to get out of here as soon as possible. To go back to his home, have a nice warm bath followed by a delicious meal and then escape his parents nagging to his room where he will be finally alone with his thoughts. Although... it's not every day you meet a golden tree who just happens to be not only able to talk, but also can conjure some kind of magic around it and after he saw that the delicious fruits had no seeds in them that means that this tree is one of a kind, which doesn't just grow from nature.

"Right you are. " He agreed. "But I can't stay long, only for a little while."

I hope you guys liked the new chapter, sorry it wasn't that great but I promise that the next chapter would be better.

Bye!...Bye
