This Is My December

2: Why are you here?

I awaited the girl to come to me. I don't really understand why I want her to stay here so much, but I guess its because I am so god damn lonely. I hated that fact about myself and the thought only continued to fuel my anger as I sat, swirling about the red wine in my glass. The red wine that reminded me so much of the blood I had spilled over the years. As I stared back at my own reflection in the deep redness of the glass I watched the pair of red eyes that harbored on me. I wondered, faintly, if I was turning soft. Hissing at myself for even THINKING such a thing, I flung the glass across the room. It burst into thousands of tiny little shards that spread across the floor with haste. They dashed across my marble floor and came screaming down, breaking off into smaller pieces. As I watched with an intent gaze, the glass pieces reminded me of humans. They way that they burst out into the open without care or remorse and came screaming down all brought the word human to my mind.

I growled lowly into the night air as I watched the glass finally come to a still. Once I was no longer alone in this house I would eliminate that girl that human. Yes, at the moment all I wanted to do was kill something. Anything would do at the moment. I was in a fury at myself and I wanted t kill someone. Blame some one for all my treachery. I wanted to blame my father, Dracula. (1Look a bottom of page) Yes that bastard who locked me away for 20 years when I was still growing up with my brother. Because of him I ran away from the castle we called our home and was caught by the Hellsing. Abraham Hellsing. That bastard that caused me misery and pain through out my un-dead life, they were to blame. Both him and my father were at blame. Of course I wondered what happened to my brother (2Bottom or Page) as well. He was going to runaway with me as well, but I couldn't wait for him. I had to run. He more then likely blamed me. I felt my fist clench. I hadn't thought of my brother in awhile, I guess that would be what you would call irony because here I am, a 700 year old vampire who hasn't seen his brother in 200 years, thinking of the older brother he once had.

None the less I calmed myself, breathing deeply as I tried to keep myself together. My family had been destroyed long ago and right now was not the time to be pondering the past. Now was not the time to dwell on things that had happened long ago. So with a heavy breath I let out a deep sigh and pushed all of that to the back of my mind. Then I stood and stretched my arms and cracked my back. I wouldn't bring this 'Rinlina' to my room yet, se might get smart and touch my coffin. Where would I have her meet me…somewhere in the house but where? I pondered this for awhile and then I nodded to myself, agreeing with myself. I would have her come to the main library where there would be thousands upon thousands of books stacked up on shelves. Yes the library. And so I began the short journey into out library and sat amongst the books that were kept in tip top shape. My master always says that books are to be well preserved and what not so all he books appeared to be brand new.

Well at least most of them seemed to be brand new. There were only two books that we had at the Hellsing library that were not brand new looking. The reason for that is because there was only those two books every made on the planet earth and they could not be replaced. I sat alone, looking over all the books that surrounded me until I herd the door open and close. I pretended to ignore the presence of the women but it was I who sent for her to come here. She scaled up next to me and watched me quietly. She seemed to be deciding what it was she was going to say to me. I glanced over my shoulder at her and she nods to me, telling me that she is waiting on me to say something first. As such I shut the book that I had pulled out of the shelf, and slipped it back into place. Leaving the book to sit in solitude like all the other books, until the day came that someone selected it to read again. I turned my whole body to her, gazing her over once more. How did a human come to posses such radiance anyway? But that was not a question I would ask aloud.

Whatever the reason be this 'Rinlina' possessed it.

"Um…you called me here. Did you want something." Her voice seemed weak and sheepish, I do not like weakness. At least not usually. Weakness fit her in my eyes.

"I want answers to my questions." I told her as I grabbed her by the arm. She looked scared and tensed up when I took a hold of her arm.

"What questions?" She demanded in a slightly firmer voice, and I only ignored her and dragged her by the arm over to a couch in the middle of the room.

"Hey!" The girl protested but her voice betrayed her as she was weak in all ways to me.

"Quiet." I napped, my voice as cold and dark as always. I would not put up with insolence.

"That hurts!" She yelped. I threw her roughly on the couch and stood over her. Towering over her like a predator examining its weak, weak prey.

"Why were you being chased by men?" I asked her sharply. She looked at me, fear bubbling up into her bright golden eyes.

"I…don't know." As if I would buy that. Her voice was shaky, trying to make me buy what she was telling me.

"Do not lie to me." I snapped at her, my voice remaining dark. I continued to tower over her.

"They….it was only one man." Her breathing increased as she said this, she was trying not to let me intimidate her. For that she gained some respect for me.

"Why was this man after you?" My voice softened a bit, knowing that she was standing up to me. But the tone was still sarp and cold, that would not change.

"He wasn't human…" Her eyes became dark as she spoke and I did not interrupt her. Her yellow eyes became gray though as she spoke, as if remembering something that caused nothing but pain.

"He wasn't human…I could see it in his eyes. He jumped up higher then any human could ever imagine. He was faster then me by so much…I was running so hard and still he caught me without breaking a sweat. I didn't know what to do…his sword…it was six feet long. Almost as tall as him. The blade was smooth, as if it was being well kept….it was sharp as hell too. As I struggled under him he placed the blade to my neck. He wasn't human. He had long sharp fangs…I couldn't get away from him. The hat covered his eyes and he was silent. Never talking. His black hair reminds me of yours in fact…" I was staring at her…this man sounded much like a very good challenge. I listened on.

"His skin was paper white and looked like yours. He was so strong. I had no chance at all against him and I got tired and stopped struggling. My house had been set on fire before I'd run away from him…I began to do the only thing I could. I cried. I was scared…I couldn't even breathe with his body on top of mine. And then out of no where he got off of me…" Her voice paused, well it was a short story but that didn't matter. "He looked around and then just left. So I ended up here."

"How strange." Was my reply to her story because it was indeed strange.

"I just don't know what to do any more…I'm so confused." Her head flew into her knee's as I watched her from above, still towering over her.

"Well the you really don't know why he was chasing you. I suppose that its only fair for me to believe your story for now. Go to bed. You need rest." I never leave room for protest. She was going to be here all December and that was that, no discussion about it.

"But wait…is that really all you wanted?"

"Yes…you are a day walker are you not?" I already knew she was but I wanted to make my point.

"If that's what you call it I guess so."

"Then there's no reason for you to be up at this time of night, you should be getting sleep." I told her as calmly as I could and I stood up and began to leave the room that we were sitting in at the moment.

The girl looked about me, and followed me. "I don't know my way back." She admitted to me softly. I smirked. "Follow me then." And so we went. I took her down the stairs and through many corridors and long endless seeming hallways. I knew this mansion right and left since I had been here so long. I would never get lost in such a place. She looked about, confused and calm. That girl seemed as if she trusted me, and if she did how foolish. I didn't really waist my time reading her thoughts. Why would I use such and ability on a human girl anyway? That would be out right idiotic for any vampire to do. A waste in my opinion. At one point her foot steps stopped behind me and I looked back to see what the bloody girl was doing to cause me to turn around. As I glanced back at her, I saw that she was peering into an open door and her eyes were sparkling with…what was that damn word? I watched her closely, trying to think of the word…what was it? Hmmm oh yes, excitement. I grunted loudly to get her attention but she merely stood in the door way.

"Girl!" My voice rose and snapped her back into reality, her head whipped around to stare at me.

"Sorry!" She bowed again and stood straight up as if doing something punishable. I like it when women act weak.

"You need to keep up or you will get lost, I will not stop a second time is that clear." I always hated it when people acted weak, but when beautiful women acted weak it was one of those things I enjoyed.

"Yes!" She said quickly, I didn't bother to look into the room that she was staring into, I felt no need. I kept walking.

Her feet shuffled right behind me as we kept walking along the dark hallways. She was a mystery alright, this Rinlina. Her name wasn't Japanese though it was obvious that was where she was from. I wondered how this girl had ended up in London England. Oh well it didn't matter she was here and keeping me company. I could have played with her mind a little more but it was too late for that now. I had already shown myself to her. So I took her back to the room that I had so willingly given her. Even if this girl was a complete stranger I noted how much this girl was different from most human females. But that didn't change the fact that she was indeed a human. I might kill her after December ends because then I will have no need for her, or perhaps I will drain her and make her a fledgling like Seras. No draining her would only make my master even more angry with me. So I'd just kill her or something around those lines. Maybe I'd use her for other physical needs that I usually didn't get to fulfill. So for now I took the girl back to her room, and she bowed once more to me.

"Thank you very much!" She said tiredly and I nodded to her.

"Get some rest, its already 4:30." And I herd her sigh.

"Would you wake me up tomorrow night, I feel like I should go ahead and sleep the whole day." Well whatever, that was up to her.

"No your body will wake you up when its ready." And with that said I headed off away from her, down to my room and began once again drinking wine from another wine glass.

Some glass shards never made a sound and didn't move from the place where they hit rock bottom. Maybe humans can be like that too. And then again maybe I was just thinking about that to pass some more time.

Alright here are the explanations.

1: In my version Alucard is not Dracula and I know its wrong because of the Manga and everything says he is but bear with me on this. His father was Dracula and his mother was Mina, a human woman. Alucard some how was born a full vampire even though he had a human mother.

2: The next thing is, he had a brother who was half vampire and they were really close when they were younger. His brother is older and his name is Damien. I'm stealing him from Vampire Hunter D and using D in this story. D used to be Damien and he is older then Alucard by 200 years. Alucard is 900 right now. Which makes his brother 1,100. Yes D is old. More on this later.
