Alucard was not expecting Tempest to allow a kiss, let alone be the aggressor in continuing it. He could taste the sweet white wine on her breath. When she pulled away, she stopped millimeters from his lips. She looked from his lips to his eyes and said, " Thank you for saving me, Alucard." Alucard smiled, stroking her face with his thumb. He said hoarsely, " I would do it again, to see you in this. When I got out of the carriage, I could have died ironically from getting choked up from seeing you in that dress. You almost made all your effort in saving me useless." Tempest could not help but to laugh. Alucard had such a strange sense of humor, but she understood it. She asked quietly, " With your sires dead, how will they find us." Alucard shook his head. He said, " My sires are not permanently dead. They escaped as soon as they thought they were killed. That type of injury will take a while to recover. So I do not care about it right now. This is the first night, I have got to spend
When Tempest woke up, she was in a warm room. The wood-paneled walls looked welcoming, and she was covered in the softest of firs. She looked out the window and it was still late night. She thought, Did I fall asleep? A spiritual awakening is draining. Who would have thought? All of a sudden, the door opened and Alucard had walked in. His black button up was halfway unbuttoned, and he had wood chips on his clothes. He dusted his hands off, and he said, " Oh, you are awake? I was putting some wood on the fire and Rosa brought over some leftovers. I put in the chill box. It is some of her leftover chili. If you are hungry, I can go get it and heat it up for you." Tempest let out a sigh. She said, " You are exhausting. You just woke up. If anything, I should be asking you that. " ALucard chuckled and sat down on the corner of the bed. He said, " I know, I know. It just feels like I have slept for forever. I feel like there is so much to do. So much to improve to make this suitable for yo
When Anton, got to his room, he was already dreading this meeting with the council. It has been a month since Alucard went missing. However, Anton could tell Alucard was not dead. He sired him, and he would feel great loss. So Anton was aware that Alucard was finding a way not to make his presence known. What Anton could not figure out was why. Could it be the woman, he thought. Anton immediately dismissed the idea. He was pacing around the room. When he stopped in place and found himself saying aloud, " Well, she was the last person who he was with. Maybe he decided he needed that time with her." Anton remembered the young boy he raised into the man he was today. Anton sighed. it was so hard for them to be loyal to the council and keep the interests of Alucard in mind. The older he gets as a vampire. Anton never thought he would become attached enough to a human after everything humans had done to him. He never ceases to amaze me. I guess, I got to buy him some time. If he still hasn
Alucard and Tempest had been living among the people of Saint Francis for a little over a month. Tempest was getting the hang of not being weakened by creating small barriers, but anything larger than a building still managed to put stress on her body. This was the fourth time, Alucard had to watch her lie unconscious in their home. The more he saw her in this state, the more he was against her fighting. Despite that, as soon as she was up. She would be right back to training. He had lost her before. What if constantly practicing these barriers leaves her exposed for Calypso to take over her body? Alucard did not want to admit it, but they had not progressed far in their relationship since the night they kissed at the festival. He has not even gotten a chance to kiss her again since then either. Alucard was looking down at her with worry in his heart. He scoffed, Damn her, did she not care what happened to her? Why does she keep trying to learn? He thought. ALucard looked up when he s
Alucard could not believe his eyes. He was staring at a younger Tempest. All of a sudden, he felt a presence next him, It was a present day, Tempest. She said quietly, " This is before my eyes turned the blue, that is so coveted by others now." Alucard looked in amazement at her. This was an upper class skill to be able to show flashbacks like this through a bond link. He asked, "When did you?" Tempest finished his sentence while raising her right eyebrow, " Learn how to do this?" She began to follow the kids, taking Alucard's hand to guide him. She continued passing through the barren looking town. It was nothing like the place Alucard had seen. You could hear the cries of the people that were being hanged. The streets were dirty and poorly taken care of and at the top. The Castle stood in magnificent glory. How disgusting, Alucard thought with a disgusted look on his face as he looked at the condition of the town. No wonder. No resistance had grown in this land. Look how poorly they
It was 4 am. The ocean waves were at high tide pushing and pulling gently. There was a light breeze. In the distant were the glowing lights of Covens Keep, a port town at the point of the chanel. The island has always been desired, as it sits in the middle of the vampires' and werewolves' main capitals. The people of Coven's Keep lived in constant fear of being livestock. The witches of the town the only source of income coming in. It is 35 years after the nuclear explosions that caused the great reset of this planet. Technology is now rare and a symbol of wealth for those able to use it. People now live day-to-day like in the medieval times and vampires, werewolves and magic, something that used to be in stories. Was found to have some truth. Until one day, every living creature became united under one coat of arms. We will start at the beginning.Tempest was up meditating above the water. It was a way to control her chaos magic of water to just around the vicinity of her body. The s
Two large men came and stood on both sides of Tempest. She did not know if she should attack them and run or go along with them. This felt like 10 years ago all over again. No choice but to move where she was placed. She walked along with her two escorts up to the castle. Along the way she could already see signs of the vampires settling in. Drinking from people's necks like they were on tap. The cries that came from the town was beyond depressing. People being pulled out of their homes and all the adults being accounted for. Women being checked for virginity. Virgins were always given to the Lord as their blood was considered the purest. People's inventory being checked and confiscated by soldiers. These things always happen when the army temporarily occupies an area for battle. Tempest sighed. She felt like the chaos all around her made everything that much more depressing. Tempest saw the blond vampire looking at her for a moment, while they walked to the castle. He turned and whis
The following day, Tempest could feel the sun rays on her skin. She sat up in the bed, just in time to hear the door knock. Sister Esther walked in and Tempest could immediately feel herself become anxious. As Esther walked in, with a black lace ball gown in her hands. The corseted bodice was see-through and had a beautiful embroidered pattern, but it looked uncomfortable and not anything like what she would normally wear. Tempest looked at Esther flatly. She said, " I am going to look ridiculous walking around in that." Esther stood straight with a stern look on her face. She said, I know you want to be difficult, but Master Alucard had this dress rush made for you. So you can meet his generals and Lords that arrived here to manager with the coven. You will need their approval, so the council can approve your ritual bond." Tempest sat up defiantly. She said, " Maybe I do not want to be bonded to him. Isn't it enough I already have to be bonded to him. I get to be a walking IV bag for

Alucard spent the rest of his day, trying to make their home presentable. All he could think about is how she chose to save him. Tempest would have been free from him. Everyone saw that he made that choice of his free will when he jumped off that cliff. Something in his heart at that moment. As Tempest lied in his arms, lifeless. Alucard mind quickly turned to the option of turning her to save her, but he could not do it. He wanted her to have a choice in being turned, he did not want to turn to the easiest way. At that moment, he heard a whisper, it told him, go to the water. Alucard's body moved without even thinking that day. He had made peace with dying if it meant saving Tempest. He had grown close to her quicker than he could realize. Her feisty attitude, her grace when she fights, and how now when she talks to him. She does so fearlessly, looking directly into his eyes. Just thinking about her, Alucard's heart yearned to see her. He went out into the forest and chopped some woo
It felt like Alucard had been walking aimlessly on this other plane for what felt like years. Trapped in the middle plane is strenuous to the spirit. Imagine walking along a desert without even the littlest dirt getting in your mouth. So, you could at least feel like you ate something and even though there is no sand. Your mouth feels as if you have been chewing sand for a millennium. Every time Dracula takes over, Alucard is sent here. In the hope to weaken Alucard's spirit. He has normally been able to come back, but this time, Alucard. Did not make it back before Dracula was forcibly controlled by Tempest. However, Alucard started to feel a small tingle of warmth. He hiked for what seemed like weeks till he felt closest to it. All of a sudden, he woke up in a warm log cabin. He sat up slowly and took in his surroundings. There was an old woman cooking by the stove. The cabin was warm, and he was lying on a makeshift pallet, with a blood iv bag connected to his body. The woman seem
The battle carried on, Alucard was badly damaged. However, he would not stop trying to attack Tempest and the villagers. Tempest was worried because her ice attacks were heavily effective on Alucard in his current form. So every time she attacked. She left massive damage to his body, the holy water making it to where he could not recover the wounds anymore0. Alucard breathed heavily. He said, " I am not ready to let go. Not yet. My wife. All humans must burn for what they did to her." Tempest looked across at him with sad eyes. She said, " This is no longer your time. Do not make me hurt my husband anymore, your kin. That is not your body. Please go back to rest. Please do not take my partner too. " Alucard struggled against the blood's urge to eradicate everything around him. He started to fall to his knees, shaking his head. Almost as it he was going to have a meltdown. She could hear Alucard for a moment. He said, " I can control it. I am trying to hold back. Hurry and put the seal
Cyan leaped from tree to tree in search of Tempest. She could smell her familiar scent the closer she got. When she noticed a trailer transporting a woman. It was Kwame riding with Tempest. Cyan landed in front of him and snarled. She was aware he betrayed them. However, she quickly calmed down when Kwame put his hands up. He instead pleaded with Cyan, " Can you take her to Alucard? She is very weak. I can not let her die." Cyan looked from Kwame to a weakened Tempest. Cyan picked Tempest up from the trailer. There was anger in her eyes when she looked up from Tempest at Kwame. Cyan let out a slow breath, calming herself down. She then jumped up with Tempest in her arms. Cyan leaped from tree to tree quickly, with Tempest on her back. She tried to be gentle, but she needed to move quickly. Cyan was worried about Tempest's unresponsive body. It can not be good that she could still rest through what Cyan was doing now. Cyan had hoped she could make it in time, but even still, how was s
