Chapter 3: In the mind's eye
A few days had passed and Alucard had begun to question everything about his sanity. He hadn't heard anything from Magnus since that night he went off in front of Richter. He curled up and hugged his knees not leaving his room for about 48 hours. He just sat there idly not even speaking and barely breathing. He phased out and began to dream again. This time it was about watching Richter die. He had his heart ripped out of his chest and the ground was covered in blood. The last thing he said to Alucard was "run…don't…look b-back." A black blur then hits Alucard and he snaps from the dream. He looks around seeing that his room is normal and that Richter is standing in his doorway looking at him. "Are you okay Alucard?" The hunter looked very concerned when he asked that and the way his voice sounded when he asked made him sound like he was talking to a suicidal person. "Yeah…I just can't get over what's happening to me." "Well what's happening to you?" "I can't sleep at all, my blood craving is becoming more overwhelming, and it seems like every dream I have is a nightmare." "Well…" Richter thought for a moment. "Here drink my blood." He finally decided. "What? No I won't." "Alucard, don't argue with me. You are to the point where you need a little bit or you're going to go insane from malnutrition. Drink. My. Blood." He pulled up his sleeve and set his exposed wrist in front of Alucard's face. Alucard sighed and nodded. "Alright, but if I don't stop after a minute and a half then just jerk away alright." "Alucard I trust you more than I trust anyone. You've been a great friend to me and Maria. I know you can control yourself." "Alright." Alucard then sunk his fangs into Richter's wrist and began to suck the sweet metallic flavor from his body while hearing in his head Magnus's voice. "Keep drinking. Drain the foolish hunter dry. Drain him and then drain Maria~" He bit in deeper to Richter's wrist and Richter jerked away cringing in pain. "Ow dammit…well it's been a very long time since you've fed so I guess in a way I understand." Alucard's eyes were completely glazed over with hunger and he grabbed Richter by the throat and shoved him into the wall tilting his neck to the side and biting down on the vein and beginning to drain Richter when Maria walks in and sees. "Alucard stop!" She pulls him off of Richter and runs as Alucard chases after her. She just makes it to the door when Richter wraps the whip around Alucard's neck and pulls him away from her. "Maria GO!" He ordered. "But what about Alucard?" "He's not himself right now I'll hold him off." Maria then runs and Richter begins to try and snap Alucard out of his bloodlust. He lashes him a couple of times with the vampire killer and after a few minutes Alucard is knocked out.
*Dream*
Alucard is laying on a path to a beautiful garden. As he raises up a blurry figure stands before him. When his vision becomes full he sees that it's Richter but something is off about him. His eyes are red and he's holding a sword with a green glow around the blade. He swings it at Alucard and he dodges then for some reason just begins running. Richter's voice was warped and horrifying. "Alucard you don't deserve to live after trying to kill me earlier." A root from one of the trees lifted from underground tripping Alucard and Richter was on him with the blade to his throat smirking sadistically. "Any last words dhampir?" "You aren't the Richter I know. Reveal yourself monster!" Richter's skin began to burn away and what stood before him now was a blue haired red eyed man in a black tuxedo with slightly pointed ears pale skin and a painted symbol on his forehead that represents a third eye. He grinned revealing his fangs. "Who are you?" Alucard asked. "My name is Carter Farwentz. And you Alucard are going to be my slave." The third eye lit up a violet color and Alucard felt this ringing in his head. His lust for blood began to overtake him. He blinked and was in yet a different location this time a cellar where Maria was chained by her hands to the wall along with Richter Cyril and Alexis. He walked over to Alexis and began to drain his blood. "YOU MONSTER! STOP IT LEAVE HIM ALONE!" Cyril shouted. Alucard just kept draining Alexis of his blood. He then pulled away not killing Alexis but definitely making him lose consciousness. "You bastard." Cyril began crying very hard. Richter had a very shocked expression on his face and Maria was so horrified that she kept her eyes shut looking away from the scene.
*Reality*
Alucard wakes up very sore all over his body with a few cuts from the vampire killer whip. Richter and Maria were both gone. He got up and left the house limping down the road trying to close the wounds. About halfway down the road he seen Magnus standing in the starlight. "You look like you could use some help Adrian." Magnus smirked when he seen how badly hurt Alucard was. "Why don't you let me heal you?" He said as Alucard just tried to limp past him falling to the ground only to be caught by him then lifted bridal style. Alucard tried to push himself out of Magnus's grip. "Ah ah ah. I can't have you falling from every step you take. Especially not if we're going to kill Carter." Magnus said grinning. "You know about Carter?" Alucard asked. "I wouldn't be much of a psychic if I didn't now would I?" Magnus responded the sarcasm very obvious. "If you're going to be anyone's slave it's going to be me." He said and set Alucard on his feet still gripping him to support him and focusing some of his energy on Alucard's wounds sealing them up. "Thank you." Alucard said with some reluctance in his voice. "You're welcome. Now let's go find those friends of yours." Magnus said as he walked on just ahead of Alucard.
Okay yet another chapter done in Dreams of Corruption. What will happen next? More smut like chapter 1 or more action like chapter 2? Like and review to find out. Oh and just a side note Carter is an OC so was Shaka from CH.2 so don't try to google search them for castlevania because you won't get any results. Well that's all I have to say for now.
