(Fluffly..)
November looked over at the bottle and reached out, taking it in her hand. "The reason Ivy was calling you Alucard? Was she just thinking it was clever to say your name backwards?"
She looked at the bottle and opened it up. "With all due respect, I highly doubt there is anything you could do that would harm me." She took the bottle up to her lips and drank from it without hesitation. She swallowed it all before pulling the bottle down again and shaking her head.
"Ugh..what a nasty taste..So, before this thing kicks in, what happened to his mother?"

The smile faded from the Nobles lips and his playfull nature was quickly replace with a more sorrowfull one. He looked to the crimson symbols on the backs of his gloves. A hue of emotions swam through his crimson gaze, and suddenly the Master Vampire didnt seem so powerful anymore.
"Those arent short stories, nor light topics to discuss." He said gently, his eyes reflective as the went to gaze at the moon. He joined Novembers side and stared at the white orb in silence. "Lets just say that Alucard used to be a name of mine, given to me. The two incidents are linked, and D's never forgiven me for what happened to his mother..." Dracul said solomly.
"Thats why he's on his way here now, along with Gina and her father.." Dracul said as his gaze dropped from the moon and to the horizon. He could sense them coming, their bloodlust for his death was enough announce them. November had hit one hell of a nerve with the Master Vampire. Moments ago he was cheerful, playful even and now the being before her was nothing more than regret and reflection.

"Sounds to me like you've never forgiven yourself either. I appologize for striking that nerve. But if he hates you, I must ask if it was your fault." She stared at the moon before she wrapped her arms around her stomach. She could feel the elixer working now and though it caused great pain, she wasn't going to cry out like Raziel had. Her nails dug into her skin as she sunk down to her knee's. Yet she stayed focused on what he had said.
"Both of them..and here I thought I'd be free of all of them. What a pain.." She sighed and took a few deep breaths as she sat there. "And Ivy's still inside. If I were you, I'd leave, and quickly. Because none of them are going to leave without our heads. Mine is included since I came with you. Aside from that, I still need to fulfill my end of the bargain, whatever it is."
She stood up slowly and looked over at him once again. "You don't seem like the kind that enjoys running, but you can't really think you'll be able to face all of them." She may not have seemed like it, but she was truely sorry for what happened to him ages ago.

)( TOTALLY fluffeh x3 )(
Gina did not stop her father, although she didnt even kno if she should try. she could see her body approaching the dorms of the castle. her head moved from side to side, seeing what she could see. there was a maze of some sort, and her fathers voice spoke to Gina."Your experiment friend is in there now, trying to proceed to Alucard as well. seems im not the only one after him now, though it a shame that Raziel brought himself to this man."
"Why is Raziel there?" Gina asked
"after whatever he can. one reason is to break the connection he has with the experiment woman, as he claimed about it before. another, to honor the b*****d. who knows what else. Anywho, its not wise to get through the maze, even if the one you call Jade is taking care of the monsters. its already bad enough that the damned vampire knows our presence."
"How does he know that?"
"Child, he is the first vampire, and this his domain. i raised you smarter than that. continue on now. we will try to breach through a window. it wont be easy, he has this place guarded by who knows what, but ill help you. youll get control of your body back, as well as some extra powers and abilities, but you will have to fight the obstacles. understand?"
"Yes." Gina said, and then felt her body move closer to the castle, looking up at the windows, finding whatever one would be the best. The highest one might be wise she thought to herself, viewing the scene for the moment.

Draculs shoulders began to quake, at first it could have been mistaken as sorrowful sobs, however when the low chuckle issued from his throat and continued to grow into outright laughter, there was no mistaking it. His laughter grew louder, it was a sinister laugh that bordered on insanity.
"Oh if only you knew child." Dracul said as he calmed himself and turned to the girl, a grin on his lips. He came close to her and slipped his hand under her chin, his expression becoming serious. "The only one i even think is capable of killing me is my own son." Dracul said with a smile. "I have never forgiven myself for Mina's death. It was my fualt in the end, but i wasnt the one who slayed her. I was taken from my family, Mina was killed before my son's eyes by the Hellsing organization." Dracul said a growl in his voice as he released the girl.
"The forced me into servitude, they tortured me and did all sorts of unimaginable and unthinkable things on me. They bound my blood with their bloodline, I had to serve my human master and eradicate my own kind. I was their dog, their slave while my son was left on his own to face the world alone, too young to even take care of himself!" Dracul shouted his voice booming through the castle halls.
"Ive been shot several times over, staked through the heart, had my head and limbs cut off by silver and holy weapons by everyone from a lowlife bum to the highest bidder. Ive died several times over, ive had so many lives so many identities. Ive watched people come and go, many that i cared about and few that i loved." Dracul continued to explain not caring who heard him.
"You dont think i can handle all three of them? I welcome the challenge, unlike most immortals i've wanted to die for a long time now. However that doesnt mean ill go willingly. I want someone with exceptional skill, and worth to take me out. Gina's Father is not one of them, neither is that pest Ivy... " Dracul said he looked back out the window.
"Concerning you..." Dracul said before turning his gaze back to her. "You have two choices. Stay here and participate in the upcoming battle. Or flee and go on your way." Dracul said to the girl. "So what is it? Will you flee or fight? The choice is yours."
_
"What was that?!" One of Draculs many guards turned around when they had seen a ebony shadow slip by them.
"I think it was him. Should we alert the Master?" Another said.
"You idiots he already knows, why do you think he gave us orders not to attack him?" a female said snidly
"But.. thats suicide! He'll kill him!" the one retorted back
"Thats the point dog breath." the female snapped.
A quarrel broke out between the barbaroi, allowing anyone slipping into the castle do so without notice.
_
D walked the long halls of the castle, he was on the first floor searching for any signs of life. The old decorations, centuries past each room, each decoration had a long and colorful history behind it. And while the youth's outer demeanor was cold and calm, inside his mind was bombarded with memories from his past.
"Papa! Whats this?" A little boy with baby blue eyes and ebony curly hair held up a trinket to his father.
"This..." Dracul gently took the trinket from his son and smiled lovingly at his boy. "Is a compass, its very useful when traveling abroad. You see this little needle? It always points north and..."
The two where interrupted by the call of a lovely female voice. "Momma's back!" The boy smiled his eyes alight with curiosity and innocence. He ran off to his Mother to find her coming into the castle. Hugging his mothers waist he closed his eyes and smiled lightly. She smelled of flowers for she had just come from the garden....
"Snap out of it!" The parasite scolded D, who had stopped in mid step near a pair of doors that lead to the garden room. "Welcome back! We lost you there for a bit."

November blinked and looked over at him. He was completely insane, but she also knew how he felt. She looked down slightly. "I appologize, I really do. I know how it feels to be tortured and trained for the will of others. However, my masters were not as extreme to torutre me physically. Atleast not where others could see. I'm sure you saw all the scars on my back. The words on it containing the code of the vampire hunter. But that was nothing compared to what they did. I won't speak of that though. It's not something that needs to be talked about, and I don't need the pity."
She looked over at him with a slight smile. She kind of liked his insane attitude. "Hmn..fight..or flee..Unfortunatly, I think I'll probably die in the fight. But I'll fight alongside you. Hmn..hmn.." Now it was her turn to laugh. She tossed her head back and laughed whole heartedly.
"I appologize, I simply find all this comical. I started out as the hunter, fighting against your kind. Now I'm fighting along your side."

Dracul removed one of his gloves and held his hand out to the girl, showing her that the symbol on the backs of his gloves where also burned into his hands, and where still glowing faintly red. "Your not the only one with scars. The physical torture i could handle, though painful it was, for supressing the powers of the first vampires doesnt come easily." Dracul said as he put his glove back on.
"What broke my sanity, which you question everyone does dont worry. What did that in was, well..." He said with a sad smile. "You have your love and son taken away from you, spend years confined to one room that with all your powers all your capable of... you cant escape. Your hunger, the thing that you once enjoyed takes over and yet you cant quench it. Add to that lonliness and fury that cant be satisfied, and then you can see why im not who i used to be." Dracul said with a grin, though his tone was sad.
"You and i share a common history, and i quite like your attitude." He said as he took her hand in his and kissed the back of it. "So theres no need to apologize my dear. Weirder and more comical things have happened. But it is as you said.. us versus them." Dracul said as he released the girls hand.
((this is my last post till Jade gets on lol. I would've stopped sooner but i thought Alucard needed some explaining to do XD))

((sorry I'm late. I was having a lot of fun at my DnD game this evening, But I'm back for only a few more minutes. This is my first and last post of the night))
Ivy walked further into the path that she had chosen and it was dark, darker than she had imagined, but Ivy held up her hand, and a bright red and orange fire ball was held in her hands as she walked deeper into the path. Ivy could hear voices from in front of her and she could hear faint breathing behind her, but she only listened to the voices ahead of her.
"Aww, come on you two. I know that your master, Alucard has ordered you to kill me by any means, but you should all know that i have already killed three of you, now it's just you, your friend, and the third one in the main hall. But I know that there is one last place here that is my way out, and I don't care how I get out or who I have to kill, but I will meet Alucard and tell him a little secret that I have been dieing to give him for years." Ivy called to the Barbaroi that she knew were ahead of her.
As Ivy walked deeper into the path, she stopped, knowing that if she went any further, she might get lost, but she already knew which way she had to go to get out.
"I want you both to try and kill me. Cause I know one of you is just dying to sink their teeth and claws into me, and I'd like to see you try."
((Okay all, I'm off for the night, I'll catch up in the morning))

((DnD could never get into it. lol But alright.))
The voices fell silent for a moment as Ivy threatened them. A moment later two presence's could be felt near her, one in front the other nearby but it was hard to pint point where exactly. A rush of water broke the silence...
Water flooded the path she was on, it flowed up to her waist line carrying with it seaweed and branches. The water swelled, as if preparing for another wave coming to drown the girl. Breaking from the waters surface, in the pitch dark was a huge vine and water beast. It smelled horrible, like rotting foliage and flesh mixed with still water. The vines and water rushed towards Ivy and submerged her under the water.
The vines weighed her down and kept her at the bottom of the corridor while more water rushed in. A face emerged from the mass of weeds and vines, and smiled at Ivy. every Noble feared water, it could and would easily drown them even if it was only waist deep. Now Ivy was face to face with a creature that was trying to slowly drown her.

Gina then came to the outer parts of the castle, now able to tuch the detailed structure. she then bent her knees, slowly, and then sprang up, her fathers extra boost giving her greater acceleration as she went up into the air, and finally gripped on yet another part of the castle, yet much higher than before. she placed her feet on whatever out-of-place brick she could, and she began to climb. she wasnt that close to the window she had planned on, but she thought it would be just better to get to the closest one. she had been high enough, skipping a few windows, so it might be good to get one a little less expected. she climbed until she could see some light, if any, through the hole, and she finally touched the rim of the windowsill.
she hoisted herself up, getting through the window finally, and then looked around. she was wondering where she was, and then began to be a bit more cautious, as to who else might be around, and what she might have to face. she knew as soon as she saw someone unfamiliar, and they see her, then her father wont hesitate to give back her body to fight. she was ready for it though.
)( well, i kinda like DnD. not the best, but its not bad either.
and i loved the flashback you had =^.^= it was sooo adorable!! loved how you described it)(

As Ivy was pulled under the water, she took a deep breath and held it, and when she saw the face smile at her, she smiled back.
Every Noble may have been afraid of water, but she had always loved the water, whether it could drown her or not, she never feared it like most other Noble's did. Ivy then closed her eyes and then opened them again as she continued to look at the face. There was always one way to get out of mess like this, and Ivy already knew how.
When Ivy's eyes had opened, they weren't white, or red, they were pitch black, as black as the path had been. Her body engulfed in flames and the water started to boil red hot. Ivy could hear faitn screams but she already knew that part og the screaming was coming from her, however, she could hear the faint screams of the creature that was looking at you, and Ivy was waiting for the creature to make it's move while it was being boiled to death.
"What, can't stand the neat?" Ivy said in a garggled voice as she pulled out her Bowie Knife, and cut at the vines that wrapped around her feet and legs.
When Ivy was free of the vines, she was able to swim back to the surface, she leaned against the wall, and started to walk back towards the main area of the path, still keeping her body engulfed in the flames to continuelly boil the water to boil the creature inside of it to death.

November gazed at the back of his hands and reached out to run her digits over them slowly. But it only lasted for but a moment before he put his gloves back on. She straightened up again and watched him with a curious eye as she listened to him speak.
"Well that is no mystery. Of course that's what broke you. We all have our breaking point, however, only those of us who are truely strong can pick up the pieces again and continue on with our lives. Once again, I really do appologize. I certinly hope you got them all back for what they did to you. Though, revenge may not be suited to all people. I know I'll never have revenge against Raziel for what he did to me, but that's alright. I'll look at it in a different view. If he hadn't done what he had, I would have never left Barcelona. I probably would have married, and had a nice little family of my own."
She turned her head to the side and took a glance at a painting on the wall. A mother holding a familiar looking boy that she had seen many a time throughout her journeys. "I won't say I still don't wish for it. But now I have met many interesting people. You, being at the top of the list. You are handsome, charming, powerful, and completely insane to boot." She flashed him a light smile. "I quite enjoy that. You are not afraid of your feelings, and you aren't afraid to show them. Something that's become rather refreshing. It's too bad your son doesn't do the same. Him keeping his feelings bottled up often got on my nerves. Twas very frustrating. On top of that, if I do decide to continue persuing vampires, atleast now I have a good upper hand. And I won't have to use my body anymore to get there. That in itself is refreshing. Besides, Ivy has first dibs on him, and while I don't expect our battle to end well, I do hope she rips that son of a b**ch limb from limb."
"As for our history being common..well, what more do you expect in this day and age. D is only getting rid of the problem on the surface. The real problems lay within the psyche of every man, woman and child." Her face turned red as he kissed the back of her hand. There was that charm again.
"Hmn..You know, my father talked alot about you when I was little." She looked to him as she remembered back to her past. "He was one of your worshippers, much to my mothers dismay as she was christian. It was the only thing they ever fought about. He always believed you'd come to Barcelona one day to show us to a new land. You were a God to him, and to many others in that place. I suppose it's very comical that Barcelona, a village hidden from the eyes of all but the Master, was found and destroyed. Atleast you can take some solace in the fact that not everyone thinks you are a monster. Perhaps if we get out of this alive, you can be my private tutor in this dark world..."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mogget continued watching from the side lines. He didn't want to interfere yet, as he wanted to see how Ivy was going to do against them. Each movement she made did not go unnoticed by him. He was assessing her. Trying to find and pin point her weakness's. Learning her moves in the process.
=============================================
Raziel sighed and dressed himself, grateful to the woman for giving him some much needed release. He pulled his curled red hair out from his shirt and looked out the window. "They are all so very close. I suppose your Master has been planning this the whole time hasn't he?"

"No i never got them back for what they did to me. Actually i ended up.." Dracul smirked and shook his head as he remembered his former Master that he had fallen for. "Nevermind..." He said gently as he turned to face the doors of the room.
"D gives them hope." Dracul said his smirk turning into a smile of respect. "He'll rid the world of everyone who has Noble blood in them. Once were all dead it will take sometime for the humans to stop being afraid of our image. But in time it will happen and the world will be theirs..." Dracul said honestly, his tone of voice showing just how much respect and envy he had for mortals.
"And we'll see about lessons.." Dracul said to the girl as he turned his gaze on her, momentarily. Just then he noticed that Gina and her Father had made it into his castle. They were on the third floor, or higher he couldnt exactly tell and he didnt really see them as a threat either so he didnt care.
Dracul closed his eyes and checked in on everyone that had invaded his territory....
_
D had made it up to the second floor, memories and emotions continued to threaten his mind. Illusions were bad enough but actually memories from the were much harder to shake. He came to the bedroom doors that lead to the room where Nobember and Dracul where.
Opening the door D froze but not at his own will, his eyes and mind seemed to be somewhere else entirely the minute he had stepped into the room...
_
Dracul opened his eyes, his crimson gaze glowing like hellfire as he cast an illusion over his own son. Dracul walked up to his son looking him over, for he hadnt seen the boy in... ages.
Even while Dracul focused his energy on D, he also tossed Gina and her father into a world of illusions. For them it would be her fathers worse nightmare....
_
The creature screamed and retracted as it was boiled alive. The water sank away, that which wasnt turned into instant vapor that is. The water left the corridor and the creatures screams could still be heard as the pathway went dark once more.
The way out is through the tundra.... The last barbaroi told the girl, its voice having a tinge of fear to it. I wont attack, i rather enjoy my life. It said before heading deeper into the labyrinth away from Ivy.
_
"Of course he has, he wouldnt be the Master if he hadnt planned this all out. Beside i think he wants the challenge of them coming all at once." The feline said as she stretched out on the bed, a happy smile on her face and a deep purr resonating from her. "He's been bored lately and boring." She commented as she sat up. "Are you going to join them? Join the battle?" She asked.

Ivy smiled as she walked completely out of the path she was in, and she turned around to seal it with a wall of ice, before she headed into the tundra path, although she could already tell that they were both lying about the path, she decided to go in anyways.
It was a bitter cold path, but it didn't bother Ivy at all, she was born cold, she was born an undead. And she lived in both the shadows and the light. Ivy was special in a few ways, but she knew that there was something about this path that she was now in that she didn't know for sure if the Barbaroi were actually telling her the truth, or if they were just trying to get her lost.
As Ivy walked deeper into the path, she could see a light, but she didn't know if it was the actual way out, or if it was just a distraction.

"Hn.. shes almost out." Dracul smirked as he felt Ivy coming out of the Labyrinth. It was still a shame though, she would be farther from the castle once she got out of the labyrinth. "That will be the first to exit that place in a long time..." He said before turning his gaze back to his son. He removed his sons hat, the Vampire Hunter still stock still, his mind locked in a mental illusion and a powerful one at that.
"He looks more like his mother than me i think." Dracul commented. "Those dammed blue eyes, he inherited hers and everytime i see them they remind me of her." Dracul said gently, his own mind remembering the past.
