The No Life King stared at the frail human female through half-lidded eyes, mentally praising her for her act of courage. Not many could withstand his oppressive presence and still stand up to him. It made him want to break her all the more so.
Amelia was not backing down. She had no idea how powerful the vampire lord before her was, but she would be damned, if she allowed him to overpower her and treat her like weak prey.
"Ding, dong! Here we go" Seras imagined the sound of bells, signifying the start of a verbal boxing match. She could even see the sparks of electricity in the silent exchange of their eyes, much like between anime characters.
"Very well, Alucard. I may not be well versed in myths or the supernatural, but I am quite sure that vampires are undead, damned creatures, cursed to crave human blood as their only sustenance for the entirety of their dark existence" Amelia explained flatly, stating the obvious.
"Very…insightful, Amelia. Thank you for clarifying what a vampire's nature is, as I was having some doubts as to what I am. At least, you spared me of explaining that very basic lesson to my fledgling. Please continue" Alucard said with a bored expression.
"From what I've read they cannot stand the sunlight, have very little tolerance to garlic and can only be killed by a wooden stake through the heart" she continued, contemplating on subjecting the highly offending male to all three aforementioned tortures.
"Ah…my dear Amelia. Normally, you would have been correct in your assumptions, however, not all vampires are subdued by such methods. And should you wish to avoid being a vampire's plaything, you should refrain from attempting any of these subjugation methods in the near future. Though, if you wish to test that theory on weak, newly made vampires, do not hesitate to use the police girl as a test subject. I will even guide you through it" he suggested with an evil smirk, ignoring Seras's whimper and Amelia's shock.
"Surely you jest! A vampire who is not affected by sun, garlic or stake cannot exist. Judging from the name of this institution, I am going to take a wild guess and assume that "Dracula" was not merely a fictional tale, conceived in Stoker's hazed stupor" she huffed indignantly, being fully aware of the paradox of her words. Like the existence of such beings was not unbelievable on its own!
A loud, unrestrained male laughter echoed through the room at her statement, startling both women at once.
"You are highly intuitive and at the same time obliviously blind, human. You managed to make the connection upon knowing the family name of your employer, yet you refuse to delve any further than that. I am honestly quite surprised. I will forgive your ignorance, since you have entertained me thus far, but try not to disappoint me so soon, little one" Alucard exclaimed, trying and failing miserably to contain his amusement.
His words caused a new wave of panic to arise, as the plainly cruel realization finally struck her.
" .God! How did I miss this? Was I so caught up in our power struggle, to not even suspect it? Yes, because a name like Alucard is soooo common…The infamous Count is standing before me and I didn't even have a clue! Stupid Amelia! That's what happens when you let your libido do the thinking for you…though, he's still wickedly hot" she thought angrily and groaned at the last unwanted comment, mentally slapping herself over and over again.
Alucard watched closely the emotions pass like a whirlwind on the female's face with an evil smirk; astonishment, self-sarcasm, awe, lust and finally anger. She was such a fascinating puzzle for a human. What would she do now that the truth was laid bare?
"Was the book accurate?" Amelia finally blurted out.
"Well, now that's an interesting question. Unexpected… you continue to intrigue me, Amelia. And that is something that has not happened in a while, excluding the pathetic product of my blood sitting next to you. Now that was a truly a waste" he hummed enigmatically, turning his attention to the young Draculina.
"Oh no! In a span of less than an hour, he has threatened me with bodily harm, verbally abused me more than I would like to remember, sexually harassed me (okay, maybe I liked that one), offered me as experimental material and now he is regretting ever having made me! Sir Integra, help meeee!" Seras silently begged and wished the stern Englishwoman would come and save the day.
"As if, Police Girl. For your information, at this exact moment my master is fervently trying to secure first row seat tickets for Calvin Klein's summer showcase in three weeks. No one is coming to your rescue, fledgling" Alucard mentally answered to Seras's futile cry for help, chuckling sinisterly.
"As much as I would like to say otherwise, the majority of it did indeed happen. However, as far as books are concerned, they can only describe so much. Besides, in this case it would be correct to say that Stoker was impartial to the story. One can only unravel the truth by questioning the actual people involved, not by reading through the sentences of a flamboyant author. If you prefer a more accurate briefing, perhaps we could have some private sessions, where I will be more than inclined to enlighten you further on vampires generally and Dracula specifically, since it seems you have taken a rather intense interest in me" Alucard suggested slyly.
Amelia could not help the blush that spread from her cheeks all the way through her neck at his ambiguous words.
"Right…because what I need right now is spending more time with this dangerously erotic creature! If even half of what were written about him is true, I should be stuffing down garlic like a madwoman and sharpening up wooden stakes. Oh I forgot… according to him those don't work, do they? I am seriously screwed and not in a good way!" Amelia surmised cynically.
"As I recall, Alucard, I was hired as a temporary replacement for the person previously taking care of you, As such, full knowledge of your weaknesses and preferences is required. Do not mistake my professionalism as personal interest, for you would be gravely mistaken. I merely wish to perform at the best of my capabilities. Hence your offer is graciously accepted" Amelia concluded with a stoic face, trying very hard not to show any outward emotion.
"Well, well, well…it seems you are very intent on continuing to entertain me, little human. Now I would be considered rude, if I were not to indulge you" Alucard thought with great amusement.
"With pleasure, Amelia. You will come to my chambers every day at sundown, until your… curiosity is fully satiated" he added silkily.
"I understand, Alucard. Well then, allow me to excuse myself for now, as I am truly exhausted. Seras, would you mind escorting me back to my room? I do not think I could find my way, even if tried at this point" she asked the young vampire pleadingly.
The blond police girl looked at Amelia with an expression akin to utter joy, obviously grateful to avoid having further contact with her master. Looking expectantly at Alucard for his permission, she exhaled a long sigh, when he nodded his agreement.
"I would be delighted to. Come this way, Amelia" she said cheerily, as she turned and started walking towards the door.
Amelia bowed her head respectfully at Alucard and proceeded to follow Seras.
As she exited the aristocratic vampire's lair, she visibly shivered at his deliberate parting words.
"Seeking knowledge, despite the imminent danger that this encompasses, is an admirable trait, Amelia. However, remember; Curiosity killed the cat…Be very, very careful."
Beside her, Seras cringed as well upon hearing his words. Unfortunately, her master continued with adding mentally only for her to hear "Draculina, tonight we hunt" with a note of finality.
They continued their way to Amelia's room silently, both lost in their own thoughts. Upon entering, Seras started to excuse herself, only to be stopped by Amelia.
"Seras, please stay for a little while longer. I wish to…to apologize for my previous behavior" she told the vampire stuttering, avoiding her gaze.
"Ha? Apologize for what, Amelia?" Seras asked confusedly the other woman, who refused to make eye contact with her, staring at her feet.
"You know…for accusing you of insulting me earlier. I never meant to hurt your feelings. I was actually grateful for your help with those lecherous brutes. But, I did not want to appear weak before your master. That's why I deliberately acted mean towards you. Please, forgive me. It will not happen again" she explained, finally looking the blond woman in the eyes, willing her to accept the truth of her words.
Seras was honestly shocked at the human's revelation. It was the first time someone had apologized to her for anything, upon joining this crazy establishment. Clearly moved by Amelia's words, she stepped forward and gave a bone-crushing hug to the stunned female.
"Umm…there is nothing to forgive really. Thank you, Amelia for your kind words. Let's be friends, okay?" she said with a giant, heart-warming smile, beaming at Amelia.
"Sure, I would like that as well" Amelia shot back, happy that someone was acting relatively normal since her arrival. She had a feeling she and Seras were going to be great friends, when the vampire finally learned to regulate her superhuman power. That hug had almost crushed her...
Finally alone, after Seras's departure, Amelia collapsed in her bed, still fully clothed and considered today's shocking events.
"If eating poison, do not forget to lick the plate…" she murmured, finding the old Japanese proverb most befitting her current situation.
