Read, Review and Fav.

Home, just after Dawn.

POV: Alucard.

I awake to find Alalia sucking her thumb, like a child. 'Well then.' I thought to myself, rising from bed and getting my usual attire, Gray shirt and pants, as well a black shoes. I look around outside, everyone's in rush, I walk out. I notice Steve's in a slight panic, "Alucard, Terrence caught sight of a Goblin Scout!" I raised my eyebrow, "thought they went extinct." He shook his head. "A Goblin army is coming from the East. Barricade all houses, make sure no one gets hurt, Especially Claire, or Terrence will tear me a new one." I raised my other eyebrow, those two were going out?

Home, Mid day,

POV: Third Person.

Alucard seen dark green figures clad in metal armor, heading for town. They were too quick, it was a gods' send to get the place heavily guarded and Alucard was the only one who could take a serious beating, Terrence and Steve would aid him if shit hit the fan. "Kill Human!" One warrior shouted as his sword clanged with Alucard's Butcher. The Warrior was then cut in two, painting the grass in red, another attacked but was easily parried and finished off, the defeated goblin flew at an flanking group. Many gathered around and Alucard pulled out his Venus Magnum and they dropped like flies. Suddenly the Goblin Wizards came and fired Holy Spheres which Alucard had some vunerablility to. One hit him and he fell to his knees, at that point, Steve and Terrence burst from their houses and opened fire, Archers and wizards stood no chance. The remaining forces fled. One arrow headed straight for Alucard. "Alucard!" He felt someone push him to the ground.

POV: Alucard.

My knees hurt as I was pushed. "T-thanks.." I got up. Turning, what I seen would burn in my mind, a memory of my first failure. "W...why?"

Steve stood, an arrow pierced his left lung. He looked down. "O-oh...well...shit.." He said, slowly falling to his knees, everyone got out from their homes and seen what happend. Claire couldn't do anything due to the arrow going through Steve's left lung. "Damn it, Steve, why?!" I yelled. "You...were the chosen one." I gritted my teeth, "don't give me that...I could handle an arrow." He smiled, "if it hit your left lung, would you survive?" I felt tears rush to my eyes, Claire covered her mouth as tears were already falling, Terrence stood strong. Harold had his hat in a respective way and Alalia prayed. He laughed before coughing, "it hurts to laugh..haha.." He said, "strange, I thought I'd die the usual way..." He looked at me. "Ah well, I'll be back." He smirked as his eyes slowly closed themselves, Wait, what did he mean by "I'll be back"? "Steve...no, Steve! STEVE!" It was too late. He was gone as he laid lifeless. I held him close as I let out a yell, before sobbing. Alalia kneeled beside me to comfort me and Claire cried into Terrence's coat. Harold held his hat at his chest, "Farewell, old friend.." I heard him say. "Goddamn those goblins..." I said through sobs. "Damn...Them..ALL. TO HEEELLLLLLLL!"

Night time

POV: Third Person.

There was nothing outside. No birds, zombies, Demon eyes or anything else. Alucard sat on his bed, the place pitch black. He liked the dark, the dark was the place where Vampires were born. He looked outside. There was a knock, "hm?" "Alucard? It's Terrence." He nodded, "Come in" Terrence walked in. "Hey." He sighed, "Shouldn't you be with Claire? She needs you." Terrence shrugged, "She's out cold. Drank her sorrows away." Alucard nodded, "Oh." Terrence placed his hands in his jean pockets, "still affected by Steve's death?" Alucard scoffed, "We all are."

Terrence gave a small "yeah...". "So, what now?" He asked, "Steve left me a to do list." Alucard read the list, gather 50 coins. 2: gather 5 Life Crystals, 3: Invade the crimson and smash the Beating hearts." He shuddered. "Deja vu?" He said. "It's gonna be dangerous." Terrence replied, Alucard stood, "I appreciate the concern." He said, "Good night."

Terrence nodded, "yeah, yeah..." He replied, shutting the door. Leaving Alucard to his darkness again...

He sighed, "What did he mean..?"
