Chapter Three: Alucard Tepes

As the three friends walk slowly towards the catacombs, a howling sound was heard.

Francis turned and gripped his whip tightly, there's no telling of what monsters could appear at night.

Suddenly, a massive lion-like creature appeared. It howled for a brief moment before charging towards Francis. Francis evaded the attack just in time and slashed the lion with the whip. George unsheathed his sword and charged towards the lion.

The lion was enraged and swung its massive tail towards the two humans. Francis' leg was pinned onto the ground and thus, he could not get up. George was severely wounded. He laid on a pool of blood.

The lion gave a smug smirk before walking towards the trio. Vanessa, seeing this, prayed to God for help, hoping that someone would save their lives.

Suddenly, three fireballs appeared out from nowhere and damaged the lion. A man was seen. He had long silver hair and wore clothes of royalty.

"Greetings. I am Adrian Farenheit Tepes, otherwise known as Alucard."

"You're Alucard?" Francis and George said in unison.

"Yes. I sensed that you were looking for me. Francis Belmont, your father had requested for me to train you, did he not? George Kischine, you will also be trained. Follow me. This place is not safe." Alucard said before turning.
