Well, here we go the next chapter in my little fic. I think everything will start to really get going after this one, or at least after the next one. We'll see, sometimes stories get away from you and start doing their own thing. (It's happened to me before.)

And oh oh, I've just realized something, it's before the end of the month! I came through and I don't feel like a bum.

Lakara Valentine, w00t, I'm glad you still like it. And yeah, my updates have been coming a little few and far in-between lately. It's actually been like that with all of my fanfics, but I'm working on them. As it was, this one got finished first so here's the chapter. Also I'm glad that you like my OC's, I was worried I'd get this flood of reviews saying they sucked. But yeah, I've seen a few too many character's who had no previous knowledge that anything walked the night going "oh this random man must be a vampire" so I thought I'd at least try to avoid doing the same thing myself. As for Alucard being a father figure, he's going to kind of float around in it, like you'll see in this chapter. He'll be paternal, walk her through things, be gentler then he normally would be, but Alucard is Alucard, and I don't know if I can see him keeping it up all the time myself. Still the whole father or lover thing will get its own chapter later, Alucard will have fun messing with everyone. It'll be interesting, you'll see. Finally thanks for the reviews I really appreciate it.

Also thank you, to those of you who are just lurking and reading. Feel free to drop me a line, I do like reviews just as much as the next writer.

"Are you going to be good now?" Alucard asked from his spot crouched down in front of Nina. She looked rather stunned, but fortunately the rage he had witnessed upon pulling her out from under the bed had subsided. Still, he wasn't going to untie her…

He had removed his red tie and it was now secured around her wrists. He also held the two ends firmly so she didn't get too far from him. As for Nina, she was torn between looking at it and him, but after a moment she nodded all the same. Then she said, unsure sounding and quiet, "But I can't possibly be a vampire… it's not possible…"

Alucard blew out an amused breath before he asked with a chuckle, "And what exactly do you think I am little girl?"

Nina frowned at his red eyes then at his red tie before she experimentally pulled at her hands. Alucard however just tightened his hold on the ends of the tie, pulling her slightly closer, as he looked at her expectantly. It seemed he would have his answer one way or another so Nina breathed, "Well… I thought you were death… I thought that I wasn't going to wake up, because you were death and you were going to take me away."

"Very flattering," Alucard comment with a grin, "But not quite, I'm a vampire. You said you wanted to come with me, regardless of meaning, and because of that I turned you into a one too, just like Lily told you last night."

"Lily told me…?" Nina asked, more to herself, in a breathy voice as she tried to pick the memory out. Everything seemed so fuzzy, though. All she could remember clearly was Alucard, how he held her when she was dying, when she woke up and called him Master…

Right after that, though…

"Oh right, Lily was dressed as a maid…" Nina said with a nod as she slumped forward, her hands seeming to be the only thing that stopped her from completely "bowing" on her knees, her head just missing Alucard's knee as he still crouched before her. She faintly remembered what happened after, but just a few words, the way Alucard licked her finger and told her not to worry about her father… but she had been calling her dad… Daddy!

Alucard watched, amused as Nina let out a groan before she muttered, "Oh god… I did it again…"

Nina knew this happened; Lily was horrible and teased her about it all the time. She'd act like, more like become, a child, lost and confused, and then not remember later unless she concentrated and was helped, or forced, to remember it. Lily said that she always knew it was happening when Nina called their father daddy instead of dad or father.

After a few more moments Nina turned her grey eyes up to look at Alucard, appearing rather ashamed of herself, as she asked, "I wasn't too bad was I Master? Did I act like a complete child?"

"Only for a while," Alucard said patting her cheek lightly, indulgently, "But I think we've traveled from the subject at hand. Do you believe that we're vampires?"

"I don't think I have a choice…" Nina breathed as she leaned into Alucard's hand, which he let linger on her cheek. "There's not a lot else that can explain why I'm not dead… Why nothing hurts anymore. Why your eyes are red…"

"Good, then shall I untie you?" Alucard asked, even though he had already taken his hand from Nina's cheek to start undoing the knot. He noticed that Nina still nodded her head to answer his question though, and when he was finished Alucard returned the tie back around his neck though he didn't bother to retie it.

"Why do I call you Master?" Nina blurted out before she could stop herself. She just really wanted to know. This was all knew to her and overwhelming, and she had so many questions that one just popped out.

"Because that's what I am to you. I'm your master, your sire," Alucard insisted as he stood up, looking down at Nina. She watched him intently and straightened up, but Nina didn't move from her knees, and that pleased him. Still, Alucard only grinned saying, "You're my fledgling, my servant, some things just come naturally."

ooo

"I don't think this comes naturally…" Nina insisted, shaking her head lightly. Alucard stood behind her holding his hands on her shoulders, so she would stay in her seat. In front of her on the small table in her room was a bowl with a red substance in it that she knew was not cherry syrup or tomato soup like Alucard had encouraged her to think of it as when it became apparent that she didn't want to try it.

"Of course it does," Alucard insisted as lightly as he could manage while he watched her look at the bowl warily. When she still wouldn't budge Alucard leaned down and purred in her ear, "Just try some for Master. If you do I'll let you go up stairs and visit your sister."

It confused Nina that doing it for him seemed like a better reason for eating this stuff then seeing her only sister. She wanted to ask, but didn't. Maybe it was one of those things… Maybe she'd always want to put Alucard before herself, before her sister. Nina would have to ask later, for right now she was still having qualms with drinking, eating (whatever) this stuff in front of her… this blood, even though she had been assured that it was willfully donated.

"I don't think I can…" Nina said, once again shaking her head. She didn't think that she could blindly follow him with this. There was a difference between drinking blood and accepting that she had been wearing the black tank top she was in the entire time. Even if she could have sworn that she was wearing a blue pajama shirt that matched the pants she was wearing.

Behind her Alucard shook his head. He couldn't understand how she didn't immediately start drinking the blood in front of her. Now, Alucard was sure that Integra, Walter, or anyone really, would be surprised by his patients with this situation. Still his unusual, and he knew it was unusual, bought of patients was running to a quick end. She had been doing so well, she listened and didn't interrupt, she didn't attack anyone when he brought her upstairs to get her blood early, and she didn't even try to call him Alucard but nicely left it at Master. This though, it was a horrible bump in what had been a smooth road up until now.

Free will was so troublesome sometimes…

Still he would raise her to be a true vampire, and this would end.

However, just because he was raising her did not make him her father. Which made what he was about to suggest, and eventually do if she wouldn't drink, perfectly acceptable. At least it was acceptable to him and at the moment what he found acceptable or not was all that mattered…

"Of course you can," Alucard insisted, as he laughed softly, but no less dark. He didn't laugh because she was being naïve, no, he laughed because if she didn't pick up that spoon to start eating now she might regret it, at very least she would be embarrassed, he was sure of it. Then when she didn't move or say anything Alucard offered huskily, "If seeing your sister isn't as appealing, we could see more of each other. Hmm, Nina, doesn't that sound good? After all, it must have been such a bore to die a virgin."

Nina tried to stammer out a reply, not used to someone being so forward with her, but when she felt Alucard lightly nip at her earlobe the ability to talk flied from her mind…

Alucard was sure that if she still had the ability to blush she would have, but as it was all of the blood was still in the bowl and not inside her. After a moment when, like he thought, she didn't reply he breathed in her ear, "But, of course if I can't tempt you with anything, I'll just have to force you to drink it."

That woke Nina up enough that she said, without really thinking, "No you can't." She realized her mistake before she even finished talking, though. You never told the person in charge that they couldn't do something. It was like telling a person taking hostages "no" in negotiations, you just didn't do it. She had learned that with her father, and that fact only sunk in farther when Alucard slowly let go of her shoulders and took the bowl from in front of her.

When nothing happened, but Alucard's presence still remained behind her Nina turned a little to see Alucard take some blood into his mouth from the bowl. She watched him curiously wondering what him drinking the blood did to speed their situation along at all, but he just put the bowl back down and grinned at her, his mouth closed. "M-Master?" Nina questioned as he pulled her chair, with her in it, back away from the table. Nina grew tenser as Alucard moved in front of her, and leaned over her, not knowing exactly what to expect from the male vampire before her.

Nina was only slightly comforted when he held her face in his hands, but mostly the devilish look in his eyes didn't help. Then, before she could even think to pull away Alucard's lips were slanted over hers. Nina however had a mind to keep her mouth shut, at least until she heard Alucard's voice tell her, "Open your mouth, now." Nina gasped against his lips, not understanding how Alucard talked while his lips were firmly pressed against her own.

However, before she could delve too deep into that her senses were overrun by the liquid filling her mouth. Now that she tasted it Nina couldn't help but swallow the blood, she couldn't help but keep drinking until it was gone. It tasted so good, and Nina knew that deep down she wanted more, but she also knew that once Alucard let her go she wouldn't be able to bring herself to drink it on her own…

So, her body operating without the permission of her brain, Nina pushed her lips against Alucard's more firmly when he started to pull back. Her tongue timidly sought out his, and she only became more eager when she found that he still tasted of the blood he fed her. The fact that she was basically kissing him really escaped Nina; she just wanted what blood remained in his mouth. She also didn't know that her eyes were no longer grey, but red instead…

Alucard on the other hand, had been surprised for a moment. He let the feeling go not long after though, and just enjoyed it. With access to her mind he knew she wasn't trying to kiss him, that it was more or less a coincidence. What she wanted just happened to be in his mouth and her body was acting, not her brain. It felt good none the less, even if she did seem to be inexperienced.

No, Alucard only really started to participate when she cut her tongue on one of his fangs. Nina "woke up" when the slight pain registered, but before she could pull back Alucard lifted her from the chair so she was in his arms. Nina wiggled lightly in protest, her now red eyes open and trying to tell him to stop without talking…

Alucard turned the coincidence into a kiss though, deepening it from pure need of sustenance to something with pleasure and lust mingled in. His tongue played with hers, dominating and tasting her.

Nina's eyes slipped back closed, as she started to enjoy one of only a handful of kisses that she had. She liked the way he held her to him, how he was taking over, how he knew exactly what he was doing. It wasn't like the fumbling or quick kisses she had gotten before. Nina slipped her legs around his waist trying to be even closer to him, and to savor the kiss. She was only disappointed when he pulled back.

"Now Nina," Alucard hummed getting her to look at him, her eyes slowly starting to fade back to grey like someone was turning the saturation on her eyes down, "Are you going to be good?"

Shivering Nina buried her face against his shoulder trying to force herself to pick yes or no, trying to ignore any confusion that surfaced. She tried to ignore that it was like Alucard had more than one setting, was more than one thing to her…

After all what did it mean when she called him Master anyway?

Still tingling from the kiss they shared, Nina put her thoughts under some kind of control, and wondered if she could ask for another kiss if she drank the rest of the blood. However after she thought about it a little more, only skirting her previous though by an inch, she knew that it was selfish, and that she should see her sister. (Well see her sister, and possibly be mentally stable.) Besides Nina knew that they wouldn't move unless she agreed to drink it, she just didn't see a way around it…

"Can… can I see my sister if I do?" Nina asked into his shoulder.

"Of course," Alucard said as he let her down onto her feet, a light grin on his lips. "As soon as you drink it all, I'll let you go up and see your sister…"
