Blood Sweeter than wine

Chapter 12

From his sleeve The dandy took out a deck of cards they swarmed around us, Alucard grabbed my arm and pulled me into him wrapping his coat around me when a big explosion hit. I felt it but it didn't hit, when the dust cleared he uncovered me a small slice on his cheek, "That was it? Your big explosion and all he got was that, what would have happened if I wasn't protected?" I said

Alucard looked at him "This is what you people are made of you people are sad."

The dandy looked at him quietly "Camellia stand back."

I did as Alucard said and stood off to the side. Then the shots ran out and the explosions, I looked at the both of them as they moved out of the way, people were either getting shot or sliced in half, and at the time that Alucard's blood was running through me I didn't care. Alucard and the Dandy man went back and forth until finally Alucard got a good shot and shot him in the head "Thank you."

However The dandy man had a comeback and he turned into the deck of cards "You're kidding me."

Another card slicing across Alucard's back caused me t jerk "Gotcha."

"Shit."

I felt a strong wind sneak passed me and up the wall of the building I looked and saw Alucard bolting up the wall "Just like back then right?" I said quietly, I saw the dandy take off up the wall as well but at a slower pace, and I however being the half human had to take the gory elevator up to the top floor. "Great. These are the days I hate being half human."

I got to the top of the roof with no breath left at all "Assholes."

Alucard was laughing when I got to the top, "Yes this is going to be fun, terrible fun."

I looked at the blood all over the roof Alucard wasn't healing I was worried about that, the cards had a good power I had to admit, but Alucard was with him.

An explosion in the corner made me smiled "Thank you Pip."

Alucard was still laughing "Why are you laughing?"

"Because this has made me happy, no fool has come around like you in a long time. Millenium, the Last battalion I see the Kamphe gruppe commanded by that major, the world Is still going insane, let us fight Dandy Man, and I will make you scream like a pig."

"Scream me? I don't think you understand what I can do sir."

"And I don't think you realize how powerful Alucard really is.'

"Spoken like a true servant about her master."

"I have no master." I said my voice hardening.

"After tonight you shall."

"Not on your life." Alucard said. "You will not lay a hand on her or you will do more than just scream like a pig."

Dandy threw a card and Alucard didn't move an inch but they moved past him and cut the wall behind him in half. I turned and looked over my shoulder. The shots rang out behind me and shot past me at the dandy and he blocked it with his cards "What?"

"Nice shot Serus." I said "and I didn't have to move."

Serus pulled out another gun and shot her multiple round gun that she borrowed from Pip and shot over and over, the dandy kept moving "Don't underestimate me."

When she stopped that was my attack, I took my UV knife and attacked with full force he stopped me with the cards like a shield. "Like I said Dandy man, I have no master." I kicked him and tried to bring the knife down on his head the UV close to his face, I only managed to burn him before he kicked me away from him, I slashed him across the chest and his shirt tore and blood flowed. "Insolent wench!"

He threw a card and an explosion lit up around me, I hit the ground and covered my face from the debris flying. Bats started to fly behind me and one of Alucard's prized Hellhounds jumped over me. The fog picked up "This is the end for you dandy man."

Alucard was hiding in the fog using the element of surprise, I watched as he appeared in front of me grabbing Dandy Man's arm and laying his foot to his knew snapping it in half, "Squeal like a pig you insolent being."

I saw Alucard grab his face and lift him off the ground, the dandy was broken, his face was bleeding, his arms were broken and his stomach was gushing blood, the man was nothing but broken bones. "Now fulfill your mission to me Dandy man, I shall have your life. And I will find out everything."

I watched as he tilted the dandy mans head back and tore into him, he wouldn't need me tonight. The dandy lit into flame as the blood exploded into the shape of a cross, I grimaced at the sight. Then in one hit the Dandy turned to nothing but ash. Serus came running "Master."

I held out an arm and held her back, Alucard clapped his hands in applause causing Serus and I to become concerned. "That was the best fun I had had in years."

The wind picked up behind us "Alucard, we have to go." I said it was a chopper coming to our rescue.

"What happened to the coffin?" He asked Serus."

Serus stood straight "I will go and get them."

"Hurry up we don't have that much time." Pip called

Alucard sat at the top of the building looking over "kill your enemies, Kill your allies, your country, your people, yourself, no matter how much you kill, its not enough, we both are troublesome warmongers aren't we Major."

I touched his shoulder "Alucard?"

"Yes?"

"Are you alright?"

"Yes just thinking my dear, come lets get out of here."

We jumped into the chopper "Well our honeymoon was a bust." I said

Alucard was silent and it was quiet the rest of the way home, I feared his silence and for once in my life, I feared all of him.

We ended up landing and dropped off at a hotel in the middle of nowhere. Alucard helped me into the room and laid me down in the bed, I didn't say anything to him but I looked at him, I wanted to tell him thank you for everything. "Go to sleep." he said walking out of the room, that was the last thing that I heard. I wasn't asleep for long before the daylight caused me to wake, I couldn't go to sleep again, I had to get up and walk around, I couldn't sleep anymore. "What are you doing walking around?"

I turned around and looked at our fearless Merc "Pip you cease to amaze me, put the gun away."

He did as I asked but he saw that something was on my mind. "Is something wrong Mis Camellia?"

"Quiet a few things, but nothing you need to concern yourself with."

"Does it have anything to do with Mr. Alucard."

"Some of it." I said smiling

"What?"

"Something he said, before we got into battle he told me to be the vampire my mother was, until then he never wanted to talk about my mother. And a few hours before that I had a nightmare about her. His silence on our way home also concerns me, He is never this way."

"You cant figure out what they mean? Your dreams?"

"It has something to do with me and my mother, and behind her I remember one thing, the Nazi swastika, I have a bad feeling. This is going to be bad, I know that much. You know Pip, I don't know why I am telling you this."

"I am learning something, I guess that is how you build trust."

I shrugged "You are right."

Serus soon was right behind us as we talked "I am sorry I didn't mean to disturb you both."

"No Serus it's alright…Hey…you wanted to know about my past right? Sit down."

Pip nodded "I think I even want to hear this."

I smiled "It isn't the most romantic but I guess it is better than nothing.

She did as I said and sat down, "I think that under the circumstances you hear about it, we are about to go to war with people that are worse than what I was raised with, they want me and Alucard, they want me because of my mother."

Integra and I spoke earlier about the men that were with us at the hotel that were reporting us, we knew who it was he was a Nazi at the time of the great depression, they knew my mother and they wanted me because of my mother. "I was born in London a very long time ago to a father who was an attorney and a mother who was the daughter of a mental hospital Doctor, my father and mother were about to marry when my father was asked to sell a castle to a new owner, and he did, however he knew that something was wrong and risked his life by jumping out a window and immediately shipped home to be with my mother and they were married. The new owner of the castle was found out to be a vampire and fell in love with my mother, he bit her, and she in turn drank his blood, the vampires blood worked into her veins, into her stomach and into her womb where no one knew I was already in the womb. The blood that the vampire gave my mother went into my system, I was raised in a wealthy family…My mother and father are Mina and Jonathon Harker, Mina was bitten by one of the only vampires Dracula."

Pip and serus exchanged glances "Integra knew about this?"

I nodded in return.

"My father knew Integra's great Grandfather. And Integra's father took me in when I had no where else to go."

"And My master."

I looked at the shadows for some odd reason I had a feeling that he was there. "I met him when I was four years old, my mom and I were walking down the streets of London to the bakery when I first saw him, He was on a black horse, and he was riding into town, he looked like a king on his horse, he looked down at me and seemed to know who I was, he smiled and handed me a lily from a local shop "For the most beautiful little princess in the world." He said to me."

I looked down nearing tears "That was the moment that I knew I was in love with him, and I cant tell him anything about it."

Integra knew how I felt about Alucard, and the more blood that I took from him the more I felt. Serus looked at me "You are…"

I nodded "From the moment I first looked at him, but he was in love with my mother, sometimes I think he still is."

Serus snuck up to me "I think he loved you too."

I shook my head, "Well I cant keep all of you up I need to get some rest."

I snuck back into my room and crawled back into bed getting comfortable, I looked at Alucard's coffin to see that he was still asleep. I held my pillow to me tears streamed out of my eyes and I sobbed in my pillow, I didn't know what was wrong with me, I just wanted to leave the earth. Something behind me touched my shoulder, the curtains of my canopy bed were opened and I saw his figure, I rolled over to look at him "I heard your cries."

I nodded "Yes."

"May I?"

I sat up and lifted the sheet and he slid next to me "Sleep my princess, sleep." He kissed my head and I did as he said falling into a deep sleep. And I felt him against me and I was comfortable.
