Hello, and back with another Demonic Love. Last time; Grace was stabbed through the chest and lived again because of her vampiric powers and was revealed that the mysterious Alucard is actually the infamous Count Dracula from the legends. Kurapika soon after, found out that Sennosuke and Grace are the same person. This time, we find out why Dracula is here in the first place. Enjoy!
No one's POV
Grace and Kurapika are walking down the halls to meet with the others and Dracula. They all continued the tournament, and Kurapika won his match the same way as in the anime. Grace has so many questions in her head. And the dream she had in Trick Tower keeps occurring every time she thinks about it. She wants answers from the Count immediately. Why is he here? What does he have to do with her dream? What's wrong wanting to see their own mother? Who's this 'Never Queen' person? What does all have to do with her? The vampire looked down to the floor in worry. If she hadn't died, none of this wouldn't have happened, but no one can change the past, but keep going on to the future… no matter how hard it is, she reminded herself.
The Kuruta saw this in the girl. He wants to say something, but he's worried that it might upset her or… maybe even anger the beautiful vampire. He doesn't care if she hits him or not, but he doesn't want to hurt her in any way. It's eating him alive like hungry moths wanting to get their next fix on a house full of honey. Kurapika needs to ask.
"Grace…" He called to the pitch black hair girl. She averted her red eyes from the floor to the blonde. "It seems like something is bothering you since that Dracula came here out of nowhere… Is something the matter?"
She was so tempted to say no to him. But she isn't that girl to lie anymore and she never wanted to be a lying bitch again. And lying to her lover is not an option either. Grace should be honest with him. "I have so many questions in my head, but the first one that's on everyone's mind is why he is here? But then… I these questions… that has to do with the dream I had in Trick Tower."
Kurapika looked at the girl for a moment. He grabbed her hand in a single swipe, making her a bit surprise. "It's alright. No one's listening."
She only stared at the Kuruta for a moment. Grace kept her eyes on him until something interrupted their silence. The silver eyed male saw it was her. Was she giggling? Then a full blown laugh blew from her. "Wow… hahahaha! It's so… ha! Like you! You'll do about anything to get what you want!" She continued to laugh until she calmed down while Kurapika is a bit confused and shocked on her outburst. "Sorry about that… but to be honest, whenever you want something, you always have to get it. Remember when we first met each other and Leorio said the Kuruta was filthy and demanded him to apologize. You know, you're a pretty selfish guy!" She laughed.
He couldn't believe what that vampire said. A blush came onto his face and pouted. "I am not selfish! You take that…" he realized what he was about to say and stopped himself.
"HA! I told you!" Grace laughed, "You're pretty selfish. But in a way, I think it's pretty cute."
She winked at the blonde. He finally found his face a bit red, but ignored it. "But sometimes, it's not bad to be selfish." Kurapika's eyes widen and turned his head to her. "When you want to find out what why your friends' hurt, trying to chase that dream you want to achieve, staying with a lonely friend, etc. But in a way, that's what I like about you."
Suddenly, the red eyed vampire was pulled into a hug from Kurapika's big hand to her slender ones. She was staring to the ceiling in shock what just happened by surprise. A sudden kiss was planted on her cheek.
"You're an amazing girl… you know that? I don't even care if you're a vampire."
She embraced him as well and whispering in his ears. His eyes widen.
(Note: Kurapika's match with Hisoka was after Grace's and Dracula's like in the 1999 version, and I decided to make Gon's and Hanzo's match shorter. This is important.)
Back in the dark room where now Killua was now fighting applicant #301, his brother. The assassin glared at the pin headed man. He wants to strangle him with all of his might can muster. Even his nails became the sharpest point. He was actually prepared to kill his brother. He was on the limit of bloodlust.
"It's been too long, Kill." He said.
The ex-assassin growled, "Not long enough!" Gittarackur was laughing. Killua doesn't understand what's so funny about the situation at hand. The silver haired boy is ready to eliminate his older brother, and he's there laughing his butt off. "What's so funny? Tell me why you're here in the first place!"
Gittarackur now took off his pins off his face and head. His face soon began to change its shape and form, his hair also turned from purple into black with matching eyes like endless darkness from them with the same pale skin as his younger brother. The resemblance is not there.
"Hi," Illumi casually said to Killua. The blue eyed twelve year old was still growling at his brother. It didn't show, but his big brother is really surprised. "Kill… how did you know that it was me all along? You've got quite impressive by the days, haven't you?"
Killua didn't say anything. He wants to win the Hunter Exam and make sure that no one in his family will ever be there to bother him again. He doesn't want them near anyone of his friends. Grace, Gon, and Kurapika for Grace's sake. When Illumi realized that he wasn't saying anything, he came up to his brother.
"I am not going home!" Killua shouted. "You won't force me! I'll make sure that once I get my Hunter License, I will make sure to never go back to that life ever again."
"I heard you cut up Mom and Milluki. Mom was crying." Illumi said.
Leorio whispered to himself, "Anyone would cry if their son did that to them."
"Tear of joy." He finished. Of course Leorio fell. "She was so happy to see that you'd grown up. But she was worried about you leaving home, so she asked me to check up on you. What a coincidence. I didn't know you wanted to be a Hunter. I'm trying to get a license for my next job."
"So what?" he spat out to his brother. "I don't want to hear your rambling, but know this. I'm going to become a Hunter so you wouldn't have to be in my life. At first, I didn't want to become a Hunter. I just felt like taking the exam. But someone taught me the value of being a Hunter."
"I see," he hummed. "I have some advice for you, Kill. You're not cut out to be a Hunter." Killua gasped. "You were born to be… a killer.
"You're wrong!" Killua yelled at his brother. Everyone was shocked about his outburst. He soon began to scream at his brother, "Gon and… and Big Sis… They allowed me to be normal! It was really fun to be around them! Big Sister and Gon gave me the chance to live how I want to live… yes… it was very embarrassing that she hugged and kissed me… and declaring that she'll be my Big Sister forever… even though she was just fooling around, Sennosuke was serious when she said all of that! She allowed me to be like the rest! A kid who wants to have fun. I always had fun with Gon as well! So shut your damn mouth and let me be who I want to be!"
The black haired man stayed monotone. "That's bad… You were born to be a puppet of darkness, without passion. You don't want anything or wish for anything. You can only feel pleasure when people die…"
"You're wrong!"
Out of the blue, the purplish-white hair vampire said, "I agree with the kid." Everyone looked at the vampire with shock and saw that his face was very serious yet he has a smile. "Even born as puppet of the shadows, they have dreams of something. They want to do something, even if it does mean killing others. So whoever you are, you shouldn't say that so lightly. Because it may become your downfall.
The doors soon opened to find that it's Kurapika and Grace. Everyone was shocked to see a red eyed girl with black hair and pale skin to appear. Killua smiled that the vampire girl appeared. He shouted, "Big Sister!"
Netero was really shocked when he saw who the girl is. He backed away and with wide eyes. No one saw the Chairman like this every before. But soon a smile covered his face with gentle eyes. Everyone, even the other Hunters were confused about the situation he's in. He soon said, "I never thought the rumors were true… I can't believe it. She was in front of me this whole time, yet I couldn't tell…"
"Chairman Netero," Menchi said to him worried. "What are you talking about?"
He didn't listen to her. Dracula was really shocked as well. He suddenly rushed in front of her and shouted like a little boy, "It's you! I thought I would never see you again! But it's true! You kept your promise, Little Sister!"
Everyone, but Netero, was beyond confused at this point, even the vampire. Before anyone knew it, the chairman was bowing down to the girl in front of him like she's royalty. Basically, everyone's eyes are like dishes now in pure confusion and shock. What in the world is going on here?! Why is Dracula and Netero acting very strangely to her? It's like they knew each other before the exam started.
"It's so good to see you… Never Queen Elizabeth Marie Van Transcellia… Dracula Arthur Van Transcellia." Netero kneeled before the two vampires. Everyone was now confused, especially Killua. (Gon is in the hospital nearby.) The ex-assassin thought her name was really Grace. 'What's with the Never queen and Marie Van Train stuff?!' the silver haired thought. 'Didn't she said her name was Grace?!"
Grace was beyond confused at this point. And shocked… That name from her nightmare. What is that meaning of her being called Elizabeth?!
Most people gasped at that name the two called them. Especially Hanzo, Bodoro, and Pokkle. Grace backed away from the two with wide eyes. She doesn't know how to react to this. The Never Queen, Elizabeth, vampires… all of this is just making her panic, but sighed to calm her down. "Ok… I don't know what the hell you guys are talking about. Who's this Never Queen? Why did you call me Elizabeth? Van Transcellia? I want answers from the two of you!"
Bodoro and Hanzo backed away slowly from Grace and Dracula while Pokkle just looked at her. "She is her…" he whispered.
"The legend…." Hanzo stuttered. "Is true… the Never Queen."
Kurapika is now getting really annoyed with the situation at hand. What are they talking about? But he thinks that maybe those two are going to explain everything. He looked at the two for a moment.
They sighed as if they realized something. Dracula was the first to say something. "I forgot about this effect from the body transformation. Before you can say anything else, I'll explain everything to you. First off, you are my sister, Elizabeth."
"You're… my brother?" She stuttered.
He nodded and continued to explain. "Yes. And the legend about me being a human is actually false. I was never was. The humans actually tried to cover it up so they know that they can fear us less than they should… well… that goes for every famous vampire. But we make ourselves known to the human world so they don't know who you really are. We did it all, but it was all by your command. You're the inspiration to all vampires because unlike all of us… you're able to walk in the days were sunlight is at its peak in the summer weather. We followed your orders without hesitation.
"In truth, we are dignified being unlike what people thought. 'Killing machines', 'mindless monsters', and 'Disgraceful blood suckers'. Those statements angered us all, so you guided us to revolt against the humans. We loved you in every way. You were in fact the most powerful vampire in all of history. Even all the demons from hell worshipped you.
"But many say that I and you together is like an unstoppable force. In truth, it's all you, both strength wise, knowledge wise, and you will was the one that made you come on top of everything. Elizabeth… you were the strongest of us all without any thought. You proved that many we are not to be trifled with. We all thought that they are nothing but idiotic, cruel, and heartless beings that shouldn't existed in this earth. So we thought nothing of it other than food to feed on. All in all… it was also true to your words… after the massacre of that village we took."
"WAIT!" Kurapika shouted to Grace's so-called brother, "Grace is not the type of girl to kill anyone! It must be a mistake."
Dracula shook his head. "It's all true Kuruta boy… But please let me explain why before you all come up to conclusions." He clear his throat and continued. "About 50 years ago, you found something strange about humans. It was Gramps that showed us."
When she looked at the chairman, he nodded at that statement. It was Netero's turn to talk to her. "Yes. I fell in love with a relative of both of you. He helped me when I was training to be a Hunter, but whenever I had enough time to relax we talked to each other like yesterday was our last." He laughed with a smile. "When I heard about you, I wasn't really scared, but really inspired how you were so loyal to all of your people, Princess. I respected you with no wits end."
It took a while for her to process everything in her head. She was pretty shocked about the situation. Scratch that, her brain just had been blown by this mind fucking information without hesitation… so yeah… she's shocked from beginning to end. She shook her head and asked Netero, "Ok, ok, ok, ok! But I want to know something. Who is this person that you fell for, a cousin, an aunt?"
He shook his head. They all became confused, but then he said, "Not really… I fell in love with your uncle, William. Your father's brother, William."
…
…
…
*Everyone but Dracula and Netero anime blew up*
"THE F*CK!" Killua shouted.
Kurapika screamed, "ARE YOU SERIOUS?!
"WHAT THE F*CK?! YOU FELL IN LOVE WITH A GUY?! I THOUGHT YOU WERE PERVERTED FOR GIRLS AND… AND!" The female vampire shrieked at the old man. He nodded. She soon became a jelly form. "I think… I need a nap." She soon realized something. The curiosity got to her and she asked, "Ok… but why was I called a Never Queen, and what happened after that? And why are you here?"
"Oh yeah." Her big brother said. "Where was I?"
"About the village." She reminded while sweat dropping.
"Of course!" he shouted. 'For someone who was feared in history, he's sure is pretty goofy.' She thought. "When you noticed that the two were in love, 15 years ago, you wanted to find out more about the situation of these humans, so you were transformed into a human until that human vessel died. The reason why you were called the Never Queen is because that demons back then wanted you to become their queen… their ruler… their goddess. But you refused because you said it yourself, 'I will never abandon my people of vampires. I cannot just be taken away from you. I'm sorry, but I refuse your offer.' That's when we knew that you are meant to be our ruler. So we called you our Never Queen in honor of your loyalty to us all."
"I…" she paused, "I never knew that I was really that special to you guys and in fact that I'm special to all vampire around the world. But still… I am myself… my past is the past. Though it can't be helped that I was once the princess of all vampires, and you are my brother. You seem to know that people do change for better or worse… so can you please tell me what the reason you are here is."
They looked each other in the eyes. They were both dead serious. Everyone can see it in the blood of their eyes. The purple-white haired male vampire nodded. "Oh course… I'm here to inform you that our mother has taken the thrown."
She gave off a confused look. "What do you mean? Is there a problem?"
He nodded. "Since your memory was erased when you turned into a human, I should tell you this… our mother, Eleanora, is causing chaos and discord just in those 14 years."
Dead silence was in the air. Kurapika was concerned for the vampire girl next to her. He was shocked about the information about her was shocking. So all this time, she thought she was a human, but died, reincarnated into a vampire, then found out you were a vampire in the end. It must be a lot to take up on. What's going to be her answer?
In the hallways of the hotel, Grace… or Elizabeth is walking down the halls to try to make sense of the situation her 'brother', Dracula, just told her. She wants to help her brother, but she loves her other family as well. Now she has not to pick two families, but now three! She doesn't know what do to.
It was nighttime. Since the incident from today, Killua and Illumi, Bodoro and Leorio has to continue the match tomorrow. Satotz told Gon everything that happened.
Grace/Elizabeth is getting changed for the night. She turned around from the sound of a snap. No one was there. She relaxed and sighed that no one was there. Elizabeth became really jumpy from the details of her real life, but she knows that when she was a human, that life was real as well. The princess got into her light blue pajamas designed with pink cherry blossoms that Dracula gave her. She plopped onto her bed and thought, 'I need the rest… this is going to be a long day tomorrow.'
So Grace's name was actually Elizabeth Marie Van Transcellia, Princess of the Vampires and Dracula is actually her birth brother! She, Killua, Kurapika, Gon, Leorio, and the other applicants of the Hunter Exam was informed of her origins and their mother took the throne creating chaos and discord. What will happen this time? Will Elizabeth take back what's hers? What will happen tomorrow as the Exam continue? Find out next time! Favorite, Follow, and/or review is you like. BYE!
