This is NOT the sequel to Hidden Be Thy Heart. Rather this is a continuation of where the story ended. There WILL be a sequel and I've got the first two parts written. I'll start posting it after I find a suitable title. This was partly inspired by the movie Dark Prince. Some content here is historical, much is creative liscence from imagination.
It had been a few days since Alucard's bloody rampage against Seras Victoria's kidnappers. His 'cooling off period' had only begun. Integra could have dealt out a harsher reprimand for the vampire's actions. It actually suprised him that his punishment was not more severe than it was. The human troops would have to pick up a great deal of the slack while he was on suspension. Seras could not handle all the work either seeing as she was still a fledgling. She had only started her return to active duty, and only on light missions.
Tonight however the mission was far more than what Integra thought Seras could handle. She would be staying at the mansion for the night. Walter brought Alucard his nightly blood supply.
"I suppose Sir Integra is keeping the police girl here tonight?" Alucard questioned.
"Yes. She felt the mission was far too dangerous for Miss Victoria to be involved in. The human troops will have their hands full." Walter answered. "Is there anything else you require Alucard?" He asked.
"Other than moving targets to shoot at, no." Alucard answered with an amused laugh.
"Regretfully those I cannot supply you with. But this will pass. You'll be back out on the battle field in no time." Walter replied.
"That's the problem Walter. No time doesn't mean anything to me. I have all of eternity. But I suppose I should be greatful seeing as the penalty could have been far worse." Alucard said.
Walter nodded in agreement and left. Alucard opened the blood pack and poured a small amount into a wine glass. He took a sip before noticing he was no longer alone. "Police girl, it's not polite to sneak up on your master like that." He said with a chuckle.
"I'm sorry master. I was just...well..." Seras stuttered.
"I know. You're restless like I am." Alucard replied.
"May I come in master?" Seras asked.
"Well, I should scold you for not resting as I told you too." Alucard began. Seras lowered her head like a child being chided by its parent.
"But I could use the company. It would make this 'cooling off' period as our master so politely put it a little easier to bear." He finished motioning for his fledgling to enter his chamber.
Seras approached him timidly. "Have you fed?" The elder vampire asked.
"Well...um, a little." Seras answered.
"What have I told you about letting your supply get low police girl?" Alucard scolded.
"I know master." Seras replied sheepishly.
"Here, you can have some of mine." Alucard said handing the blood pack to her. Seras sighed as she drank in some of the blood. She felt the sluggishness fade from her body. "Now isn't that better?" He asked smiling in approval.
"Yes." Seras answered.
"I know it's hard for you. Remember that I too was human a very long time ago." Alucard replied.
"But it seems so much easier for you. I guess it's because you've done it so long it's not that big a deal for you." Seras said. "My human life played a huge part in my being the creature I am now." Alucard responded.
"Master, what was your human life like?" Seras asked. She heard a drawn out sigh from her master.
"I'm not sure you want to know that police girl." He said trying to block out the issue.
"But master, I do want to know. What you told me a few days ago, when you visited me in my room. You said that you had also known what it was like to be tortured." Seras insisted. The elder vampire realized Seras wasn't going to leave the subject alone. She was getting stubborn like him.
"All right police girl. But on one condition. When you go back to your chamber I want you to drink the blood waiting for you. Do we have an agreement?" Alucard asked.
"Yes master." Seras answered.
"There is something else. What I share with you this night does not leave this room, understood?" Alucard asked sharply.
"Understood master." Seras answered. "There are things in my past I do not go into because humans do not understand the circumstances of my upbringing." Alucard said.
"Please tell me master. I promise, I...I won't make a fuss about drinking the transfusion blood anymore." Seras said with a relunctant sigh. Alucard looked at her for a moment.
"Are you absolutely sure you want to make that sort of a promise police girl? If you are serious then you do realize I intend to hold you to that pledge." Alucard replied.
"I know you will master." Seras answered.
"You really want to hear the story that bad?" Alucard asked.
"Yes master. I don't know that much about you at all. I don't even know your full name." Seras said.
"Go sit in my coffin. This story could take awhile, and I doubt you want to stand all night." Alucard said. Seras hopped up on the soft bedding and got comfortable. "You...really want to hear this?" Alucard said trying for one last shot that Seras would go to another subject.
"Yes master, I do." Seras replied almost like a giddy child trying hard to get her father to tell her a bedtime story. Alucard sighed. "All right." He said propping his legs up on his table.
"I was a young man back then." Alucard began.
"My father was Vlad Dracul, prince of Romānia. He left me in charge of my brother Radu. He tried to make an effort to unite the Romanian nobles against the Turkish sultan's oppression. My country suffered greatly at his hands." He continued.
"While my father was away, Radu and I were kidnapped by the Turkish soldiers at the command of the sultan. Neither of us knew what our fates would be. I knew only that we both felt terror as we'd never before felt. We nad no idea what the bastard was going to do to us." Alucard explained.
"Vlad Dracul? He was your father?" Seras asked. "Yes. My name was Vlad Dracula." He answered.
Seras listend intently when she heard an abrupt change in Alucard's accent. It became rather thick and heavy upon certain words. She looked like a student engrossed in a lecture by her professor. "I see I have caught your interest already police girl." Alucard said with a bit of a smirk.
"Your accent changed." Seras replied.
"It's been a long time since I've used my own accent. Long years in the Hellsing organization have curbed my use of it." Alucard said.
"Your accent is Romanian?" Seras asked. "Yes. Romānia is my homeland." Alucard answered. "Romania?" Seras asked. "Romānia, police girl." Alucard replied in his original accent. Seras looked confused for a moment. "Outsiders to my land always say it wrong." Alucard said.
"You had a brother?" Seras asked. "Yes. Father said my brother was weak and far too dependent upon others. Father did not feel he would fare well upon his own so he placed me in charge of him while he was away on business. I tried to keep him safe when we were kidnapped by the sultan. But we were seperated the night after we were brought to him. I could not protect him." Alucard explained, his face becoming serious.
"Why did the sultan kidnap you master?" Seras asked.
"My father refused to give the sultan his yearly tribute. He refused to see our people opressed any longer. The sultan promised that my brother and I would be returned to our father when he paid what was demanded of him. My brother came to me one night and told me our father was dead. He'd been murdered." Alucard answered.
"Murdered? Why?" Seras questioned.
"Greed. The Romanian nobles wanted to keep their lands and their vast wealth. They had power, and they wanted to keep it. They were a disgrace to my father's country." Alucard said with a bit of a growl.
"Master, if this is truly bothering you..." Seras interrupted.
"No police girl. I...I need to get this off my chest. I've held it in for a very long time. What happened to you has brought it out to the surface. I really have no one else to share it with who would understand. Unless of course this is too much for you to handle." Alucard said widening narrowing his left eye a bit.
"No master. I want to hear the rest." Seras replied.
"The time I was a prisoner in the dugeons of the sultan were perhaps some of the worst in my life. Many nights guards would shackle me by my hands and hoist me off the ground, then flog me repeatedly with a whip. And they didn't use a regular whip either. They always used a cat o' nine tails or a whip with a sharp metal end. The pain it inflicted upon me was forever burned into my memory. And if whipping me wasn't enough, the guards would beat me into unconciousness. Then they would wait for me to start coming around then beat me some more. And when that didn't work, they would stretch me on a wrack. There were nights I literally could not move because of the pain. My shoulders were constantly dislocated. There were nights I could not speak because my throat was parched. And I would shake nightly because of constant starvation." Alucard said.
"Master, how did you make it through all that?" Seras asked.
"Determination and hatred. I would not let myself be broken as my brother was. Yes, there were times when I prayed for death. I wanted the agony to end even if it meant my last breath. But I did not want the bastard sultan to win. I was going to bring justice to my land. I was going to free my people from Turkish opression. I wasn't going to let my spirit be broken even if my body was. Many nights I would taste my own blood running down my face, and it would spark flames of rage in my soul. I would live no matter it took. Every time I wanted to die, I would see the sultan's smug face burned in my brain. That image would set my blood on fire. I wasn't going to die. I was going to live. I wanted the right to send the opressor of my people straight to hell. I wanted to see the look on his face when I stole his last breath." Alucard finished.
"Did you master?" Seras asked. "No. Unfortunately fate determined I would not have that right. But, in fairness, the sultan didn't get his wish either." Alucard replied.
"And what did he want?" Seras asked.
"To have my head. My weak brother thought he would have the honor of taking my body to the sultan so he could behead it himself.." Alucard said as an evil smile crept upon his face. "He didn't get the chance to." Alucard replied.
"What happend to him?" Seras asked again.
"Justice happened to him." Alucard answered.
"I don't understand." Seras said.
"I'd been told he had repented his service to the sultan and wanted to unite with me to free our lands. But it was a lie. The Romanian Orthodox church had betrayed me to my brother. He was there to kill me. It was then that I learned it was a priest of the church who had my father murdered. Then he and my brother had conspired together to get me out of the way. Radu and I had our last battle on this Earth in the monestery of Snagoff. I fought him with all my strength, but he wounded me severely. Then I was overpowered by Turkish soldiers. I remember seeing his smiling face as he ran me through on my own sword." Alucard said. Seras's eyes widened in shock at his statement.
"The church denounced me. My soul would never enter heaven, nor would it ever gain entrance into hell. I was condemned to remain incorrupt and entire. The bastard thought he had planned everything so perfectly. He was rather shocked to see me the night after my death. His curse gave me my immortality. I thanked him for that before I sucked him dry. The sultan did however get his war trophy, though it was not the one he wanted. It came as quite a shock to him when he unwrapped a red silk cloth to find my brother's severed head. I still remember him begging for mercy like the sad, pathetic weakling he always was. In some ways I am glad our father never lived to see the disgrace his youngest son became."
Seras was completely taken aback by all that she had heard. She got off Alucard's coffin and walked over to him. "Master..." She sighed reaching out and placing her small, delicate hand against Alucard's face.
"Now you understand the circumstances that made your master. Now you understand why I look down upon most humans and their weaknessess." Alucard replied.
"Yes, I do master." Seras answered.
