~~~~~~~~Flashback~~~~~~~~~~
"Caterina! Wake up!" Said a voice frantically. Caterina groaned softly as she opened her eyes slowly, her vision coming into focus as she sat up. She fluttered her eyelids, trying to get her vision to come into focus faster and she found herself staring into the worried face of her beloved Count.
The Lord of the Castle looked very worried indeed. Caterina gulped as he gently helped her out of the coffin. That's when she heard the yelling and the yowling and painful screeches from the Castles undead guards. She quickly ran to the large window in the room her coffin was in. She looked out and gulped, her eyes wide. "Who are they, my beloved…" She fearfully.
"Hunters of our kind…come to destroy us and all we have currently build in this undead kingdom." The count came up behind her and gently put his hands on her shoulders. Caterina whimpered softly and gently raised a hand and put it over her Counts hand on her left shoulder. The hunters were slaughtering every undead soldier they came across. She could see as the progressed from their torches. There were 4 of them in total it looked like.
"I need you to get the others and hide. I will take care of them myself and come for you." He said softly before he let her shoulders go. The bride quickly turned around. "No we must fight them together, my love! You won't stand a chance against them all!" The man was already nearly to the door, but he swiftly turned to glare at her. "NO! I can't bear to lose you all! Especially you, my jewel. You must hide and protect yourselves!" Caterina shook her head and whimpered again, blood red tears starting to spill forth from her ruby eyes.
"No! Please! You'll be killed by them without our help!"
"CATERINA CALM YOURSELF!" Yelled the Count, causing Caterina to flinch and cower in fear. The man sighed softly and walked swiftly over to her and held her close. "Please, my Queen…for your safety…I must do this alone…" He planted a soft kiss upon her forehead. He then quickly vanished into the shadows. Caterina fell to her knees sobbing, fearful for the future that would soon come….
~~~~~~~~~~END FLASHBACK~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The young fledgling, Seras Victoria was more or less curious how the mission her master had been on had went that night. He had been out for far too long, too long for any normal mission that her master had gone on without her help. Sir Integra had sent her on a mission earlier that night before sending Alucard on any. It was quite unnatural for her to go on missions alone without the Hellsing family's No-Life King.
She was walking down the stairs that led to her master's basement dungeon, to see if he had come back yet. She shivered slightly from the sudden coldness from the basement before she finally stood before the massive steel door leading to Alucard's room. She sighed softly before she slowly pushed open the door. "H-Hello?...Master?" She called softly into the room before entering. She looked around, her eyes landing on the throne that Alucard would normally sit in, noticing it was vacant. She lowered her head and turned to leave. "It isn't normal for a mission to last this long for him…hope he's alright without me." She said to herself. She then quickly stopped, hearing a sudden soft rustling sound coming from back in the room.
The girl quickly turned around, noticing the large coffin back in the very back against the stone wall of the room. "Master's coffin…could he be sleeping? Already at this hour?" She asked herself, raising an eyebrow. She quickly walked towards the coffin and stood before it and gulped. It wouldn't be wise for her to interrupt her master's sleep. But she just had to make sure he was alright. She slowly reached out to the lid of the coffin and slid the door slowly open. The girl then focused her eyes peeking inside. She then gasped and backed up in shock suddenly. Whatever was inside the red silken inlay of the coffin, wasn't her master.
It was a girl, roughly standing a few inches taller than she, her hair black as a ravens feathers and her skin as pale as the moon. Seras slowly and cautiously approached the coffin again. "Why…would a girl…be in Master's coffin." She asked herself. "Master must have picked her up last night and had his way with her…didn't know there were Vampire Prostitutes as well…" She said rubbing her chin thoughtfully, her eye twitching at the thought.
Just as she said that though, the girl's eyes popped open and started glowing bright red. Seras screamed and jumped back in shock. Caterina, was awake.
The Countess growled and slowly stepped out of the coffin growling at the girl, apparently hearing what the fledgling had said about her possibly being a Vampire hooker. Seras whimpered in fear as she backed up, her body trembling. Caterina as soon as she stepped out of Alucard's coffin yawned and stretched before looking around the dark room.
She was confused honestly. She only remembered passing out after she was bitten by that vampire working for Hellsing. She growled at the girl as she tried to remember everything that had transpired previously, rubbing her head. Seras gulped but stood her ground. "W-Who are you?" Asked the frightened fledgling, feeling very unarmed without her gun at the ready. Caterina however just glared at her. "W-What were you doing in Master's coffin? Are you…one of those vampire street workers I've seen on the streets of London?"
That was the wrong thing to say to her. Caterina knew what she was talking about and had quickly rushed the girl and grabbed her roughly by the throat, snarling in her face as she slammed her against the nearest brick wall. Seras yelped in sudden surprise and fear, her hands immediately going to try to pry the girls hand off of her.
"How DARE you even assume the Bride of Count Dracula is a prostitute! I'll have your head for that one, girl!" The Countess snarled as she quickly with her other hand slapped her roughly in the face. Seras cried out in pain as the elder vampire woman had grazed her with her sharp nails, creating 4 long cuts across the girls face. Seras whimpered and trembled in the girls grasp. Caterina then looked at her, seeing her eyes, smelling the aroma of the blood that was dripping from the fresh cuts. "You're a fledging…aren't you…a servant vampire to a much higher Vampire."
Seras nodded and gulped before struggling slightly. "Please, let me go…I'm sorry!" She managed to say in a raspy tone as Caterina still held a firm grip on her throat. Caterina growled and quickly threw her to the ground, Seras hitting the floor with a loud thud, hard. The girl scrambled to get away, but Caterina was quick. She quickly put her boot on the girl's chest, holding her down. "You seriously are one of the most pathetic fledglings I have ever met!" Caterina said with a smirk on her lips. "I was only a mere fledgling for a month before I finally had my first taste of blood! What are you trying to do? Try to keep your humanity? HA! That's long gone girl, long gone since your master changed you into what you are today!" She knelt down to stare into the girl's eyes closer, her own eyes bright and glowing.
"Caterina! Off of her at once!" Said a loud masculine voice throughout the room. The bride gasped and quickly looked around before she obeyed the voice, and slowly removed her heeled boot from the fledgling's chest. Seras coughed and slowly sat up looking fearful around the room. "M-Master…" Caterina looked at the girl as she muttered the word. Just then through the shadows Alucard emerged. His hat and glasses absent from his head and face. His hair short and his eyes glowing.
"Police Girl…please excuse us…me and my bride must talk in private…" Seras gulped and nodded before she quickly got up and ran to the door. The door swinging shut as she left with a loud thud. Caterina hissed softly at him.
"W-Who are you...why did you bring me here?" She backed up slowly, feeling Alucard's immense power as he slowly approached her. He was trying to not look threatening to her. He even had a calm look about his face, his lips curled up into a small smirk.
She gulped and growled as she continue to back up. She then gasped and looked back as she backed herself up against the cold stone wall. She then quickly looked back at him. Apparently she had forgotten the events that had transpired the evening before, except the fight and her being cornered. Any memory after that was hazy up to the time she had fainted.
Alucard stopped nearly a foot and a half away from her, looking down at her quivering form. He knew she couldn't remember, and he was willing to help. He slowly reached out with a gloved hand and Caterina flinched and quickly closed her eyes. But the hurtful blow she thought she was going to receive never came. Alucard gently grabbed a long strand of her hair within his fingers, gently wrapping the strand within his gloved hand gently, playing with it.
The Countess was shocked. She blinked slowly and looked up at him as he then with his other hand gently placed against her cheek in a loving fashion. "You're just as beautiful as the night I lost to that human…" He said softly to her. Caterina still looked confused. "You don't remember…do you. Last night, I sampled your memories, I was going to destroy you, thinking you were just an imposter." He gently brought her closer to him, but Caterina gasped and quickly pushed him away. Alucard just chuckled softly, shaking his head.
"Of course you wouldn't recognize this form. I haven't looked like my old self in years." He said sighing softly, a frown appearing on his lips. "Caterina, much has changed since I was taken away."
"What are you talking about? You can't be Count Dracula. He would have recognized me right away instead of attacking me!" The countess spat angrily at him. Alucard growled. "Would you have liked me to destroy you!?" He said with a hint of anger in his voice. Caterina flinched and whimpered softly. Why was she acting like this in front of this…Vampire? The Vampire who was the only one who was able to defeat her. Alucard growled down at her but then stopped, seeing her whimpering and shivering form. He sighed softly and gently placed a hand on her head. "My apologies…I shouldn't have said that…" He said before removing his hand and turning his back to her. He started to walk towards his throne in the middle of the room but stopped.
It was within that moment that he had remembered the events that had transpired before the fight the previous night. The Panther Familiar, the words written on the parchment that Alucard had retrieved in the panthers remains. Alucard then knew what would probably prove to his long lost bride that he was indeed her long lost mate.
""Poți vedea pentru totdeauna? Așa cum arde în ochii mei; Visezi de iubire fără sfârșit? Pentru a ascunde strigătele dumneavoastră cele mai profunde…Nu te holbezi pe geam la miezul nopții? Privind în abis; Pofta ceea ce nu puteți găsi, fiorul de întuneric iubește sărut." (ENGLISH - Can you see forever? As it burns within my eyes; Do you dream of endless love? To hide your deepest cries...Do you stare out the midnight window? looking into the abyss;craving what you cannot find, the thrill of dark love's kiss.) The No-Life King said softly in his native tongue, loud enough for her to hear. He knew the poem would bring back memories…memories that would prove to his bride that he was the Prince of Darkness, the King to all Nosferatu, her mate.
Caterina, as Alucard had spoken the poem, looked up quickly. She quickly walked over to him and gently grabbed onto his shoulder. She turned him around to face her as she looked into his eyes, eyes that held sorrow, happiness, even a tinge of love. "That poem…where did you learn it..Only my master and Mate knew it…"
"I learned it centuries ago. It was something I only shared with those I cared deeply for. Namely my brides. Odessa…Mira….and you Caterina." Caterina stood there stunned. She frowned as she reached up and gently placed her hand on his cheek. Alucard then nuzzled his cheek against her hand as he stared down into her eyes. "It is I, My Angel de noapte." (ENGLISH – My Angel of the night) The Vampire King said softly to her. Caterina then realized, he was telling the truth. Through all the years of traveling and searching, her journey had finally come to an end.
Caterina softly whimpered before she quickly wrapped her arms around him and embraced him tightly. That's when the blood red tears started to trail down her pale cheeks. After so many years, she could now rest. Alucard looked slightly shocked as she had wrapped her arms around him tightly. He hadn't felt this type of embrace in over a century. He honestly didn't know what he should do, but did the only thing he could think of. He slowly wrapped an arm around her drawing her close to his form.
"I thought I lost you my love.." She said softly as she gently gripped onto his red coat, afraid that if she were to let go that he would disappear.
"You could never lose me, my bride…" He said softly speaking calming words to her. He then with his hand made her look up at him and he brushed the crimson tears away from her face.
Just at that moment, Alucard could hear his master calling to him. "Alucard…I need to speak with her. No hold ups, you already messed up by not telling me directly what happened. Seras has just come into my office saying that a Vampire female is in your quarters…and that she deliberately tried to hurt her. I need you two in my office…at once!" She sounded perturbed, angry even, but a calm angry.
Alucard chuckled softly, apparently amused at Integra's slight anger. "It seems my master would like to speak with us…shall we?" He said looking down at her raising an eyebrow. Caterina however, gulped and looked away. She knew that somehow the Van Hellsing who had taken her beloved away, had somehow chained the Master Vampire to his bloodline. She would have to face his Master sooner or later.
"Fine, let us talk with this…Master of yours." She said with spite in her words. Alucard let her go before he grabbed her hand and pulled her into the shadows with him. Within moments they appeared back in solid forms in front of a pair of double doors. The Count reached and slowly opened the door, allowing her entry first. Caterina looked at her beloved and then at the doors before she stood straight, her head held high.
Who knew what his master would say, or even do to her. But she knew that with her mate by her side once again, she would not fear anything. No human or vampire. She walked into the office, Alucard following close behind her and shutting the door behind them with a soft slam.
