The Goth and the Vampire

Chapter 3

Alucard POV:

She went to sleep pretty quickly and was still holding my hand as she slept. Her fingers were still cold and I struggled to keep my anger in check. I had to send Victor to find out what happened. He has an extremely rare and unique ability to see crime scenes base on the smell of blood. So on his way here, I had him follow the trail of Bellatrix's blood. He quickly explained to me what had happened while she slept. She was trained very well by the werewolves but it was obvious that she was out of practice.

It angered me that she had to fight in the first place. They had hurt her pretty badly, bruises were already forming on her face. I sighed and gently stroked the back of her hand with my thumb. It made me happy that she wasn't afraid of me and let me help her. She allowed me to see her vulnerable and that was something for strangers.

It was a 40-minute ride before we arrived at the castle. I gently woke her once we were parked. She groaned and unbuckled.

"Let me help you out of the car," I said quickly as she went to open the door. She paused and nodded. I quickly unbuckled and got out of the car. I ran to her door at vampire speed, which to the human eye could seem like I teleported.

I opened the door and held out my hand. She took it and slowly got out of the car. She started to stretch but quickly stopped when she nearly yelped in pain. I swept her off her feet. She wrapped her arms around my neck.

"You know I can walk?"

"Yes. But you're hurt."

"I think you just like carrying me." She grinned at me. 

"You have no proof." I stuck my tongue out at her making her giggle. 

"You can't fool me, Prince Alucard," she said with a grin. The guards looked at her in shock. Most humans would be panicking and screaming right now but she's joking with me.

She waved at them as they stared hesitantly they waved back. I chuckled as I carried her into the castle. We walked down the long corridors until arriving at my room. I carried her in and sat her down on the edge of the bed. I unzip both jackets and helped her out of them.

"I'll go get the castle doctor. Stay here." 

"You'd be back before I could make it to the bedroom door."

I chuckled.

"True," I said before kissing her on the forehead. I ran to the doctor and full speed and he followed me back. She was on her phone texting when we arrived.

"Greetings Crowned Princess," the doctor said as he looked at her in shock.

"Greetings..." She gave him a polite smile. He approached her and quickly set to work. As the doctor was looking at her arms and back Victor brought in her belongings.

"Can you take your pants off so I can look at your legs?" 

I stiffened but she raised her hand signaling for me to calm down.

"Can you step out of the room doctor so Alucard can help me onto some shorts?"

He nodded and quickly left the room. I found some shorts in her suitcase. I helped her to her feet. She slid off the sweat pants and stepped into the shorts as I held them. Her hands rested on my shoulders as she used me for balance. I pulled them up to her hands and let her do the rest.

I helped her back to the bed and let the doctor in. He walked back to her and undid the bandages. He quickly disinfected the wounds before putting a healing salve on them. He rebadged her legs and arms.

"There are no broken bones. Just some heavy bruising and some pretty bad scrapes. I put a healing salve on the open wounds which will make them heal faster."
