Out of his Time (Alucard FanFiction)

Chapter 4: Dawn of War

 Alucard stood a few feet from Kris, the room they stood in had wooden targets and lots of open space around them. There was a wall of different weapons, some were guns, others swords from all around the world. Alucard held out his hand slowly, his eyes turning a glowing bright colour of red. In the palm of his hand a flame slowly took hold. The flame didn't ignite his hand but floated just above the palm, almost as if it was his little pet. He turned to look at a wooden target waving his hand around him. The fireball followed the palm of his hand like it was attached to a leash then with a flash of light he cast the fire at the wooden target. The target went up in flames, causing a burst of explosions, Alucard raised his hand once more and with a small flash the fire was extinguished. The Vampire slowly turned to look at Kris and smiled. "This is the first spell you should start working on." he said walking closer to the Human. "Hold out your hand, and concentrate on the center of your hand. Picture the fire, see the fire in your hand, and create it."

"You make it sound so easy." Kris said, smiling slightly he held out his palm and started working on concentrating. He did as the vampire instructed he closed his eyes and pictured the fire in his mind, then started feeling the heat of the fire. After a few minutes he opened his eyes and took a look at his palm sure as day there was a small spark of fire sitting in the palm of his hand. Slowly he raised his hand to move the fire. The flame grew with his excitement.

"Control your feelings. The magic can feel what you're feeling. If you get too excited or nervous the fire can grow to the size of a building." Alucard walked over, placing his hand underneath the human's. "Focus your intent on the fire, where is it going? What is it doing in accordance to your perception." Kris slowly took a breath and in his mind's eye he moved the fire around his hand and brought it to come before his face. Slowly the fire did as he commanded, moving around his hand and coming to stop before him. "Now throw the fire at the target." Alucard said moving his hand away from Kris'. Kris pictured the action in his mind and watched as the fire flew from in front of him towards the target shattering it into tiny splinters. The vampire nodded at him in appraisal. "Well done. That gives you something to practice. Come and find me when you have mastered the use of this spell. Normally this would take a few weeks, but i expect to hear from you in a matter of days." the vampire winked at Kris and walked for the door.

"Wait, how will i know when i have mastered this skill?" Kris asked turning to see the vampire's clothing brushing against the doorframe as he was leaving.

"You'll know, trust me it's not something you can miss." The Vampire called back as he disappeared into the darkness of the dimly lit hallway. Sighing deeply Kris raised his palm up and tried the spell again. After a few hours he decided to take a small break. He walked into the common area after washing off. He looked a little worn down but nothing he couldn't fight through.

"Thank god you are here sir," a man said walking over to him handing him a tablet. "This just took place outside california. It looks like a group of Vampires kidnapped a small congregation of people. And by the looks of the messages they are sending it seems like they want to try and use these people to bait Alucard out into the open so they can gain the upper hand in this battle."

"And you think that is their plan? Based on this message they have sent us?" Kris said looking at the tablet that had a scrawled message. It was in ancient Romanian, also known as Walakian. "Someone found Alucard, I think he should see this."

"Can you understand it sir?" the man asked, turning to look at him. "I was only able to translate small amounts of it."

"I can't read it but I have a feeling Alucard should be able to read this without any issues." Kris said, turning to leave the room. "I want a full house meeting about this within the hour. I'll go and find the vampire all the rest of you, gather everyone else, and get the field agents in on calls." The room around him started bustling with the noise of everyone in the room quickly getting on with their assigned tasks. Kris walked towards the large double doors of the main assembly room.
