Fleeting Hearts - a castlevania story

Chap 2

When Alucard awoke he was sore all over and yet still in pain causing him to groan quietly. His eyes fluttered open and golden eyes met a familiar steel blue across from him. For a brief moment he felt relaxed knowing that Trevor was with him. What happened? He was about to ask Trevor but instantly he rembered what had occurred the last time they spoke.
Suddenly the fear and rage from earlier came rushing back to him.
Alucard quickly tried to get as much distance between him and Trevor as possible but somehow he could not get his body to move. He was tied up.

Alucard glared at Trevor. The pain from earlier had gone from excruciating to a more uncomfortable but bearable feeling. Whatever it was that was causing it, it wasn't something that had been blessed. Unlike Trevor's whip.

Alucard refused to speak, partly because he felt a bit drained and also he needed to stay calm. He worried that once he started he wouldn't be able to stop the curse words spewing out- risking the already feeble situation he was in along with his newfound fear for his captor. When Trevor attempted to rise out of his chair, Alucard instinctively hissed at him to stay away, fangs back on display. Alucard knew better than to appear scared or more weak infront of Trevor in a situation like this.

Trevor sighed but sat back down and resumed to look at Alucard. He still felt bad about how the previous ordeal played out however he still wasn't sure if Alucard was behind those dead body's in the woods or not. He couldn't afford to let him loose before he knew the truth. Trevor worried that he may had gone too far before, as Alucard was passed out it occurred to him that dhampirs might not be fully like vampires in strength and stamina. He was so used to fighting full blooded vamps that he never thought how much pain he might have put Alucard through. Alucard pribabky wouldn't bekieve him but he didn't intend to hurt him as much as he had. In the past he's had to use his whip far more than what he did with Alucard in order to take down a vampire. Suppose it's different with half-breeds then.

Alucard tried to move again but he couldn't, to add to his confusion. Sure he may not be at his strongest at the moment but struggling this much was unusual. Whatever it was that restrained him wasn't something normal. At first he couldn't figure out why his body was still actively hurting, and then he looked more closely and realized, breaking the silence between the two.

"Silver bindings, you impress me Belmont, did you always have these on you or did you retrieve them when you let Vampire scum walk along you?"

Trevor couldn't help but to chuckle at the comment. Briefly remembering the semi friendly air they usually shared and forgetting the seriousness of the situation he had caused.

"Forgive me but I rather think it to be necessary incase you're going to take my head off"

Alucard still glared. Trevor noticed the discomfort Alucard was trying to hide from his body language but it was there nonetheless. He had spent enought time around him to know this and he didn't like it. The fact that he could easily tell because it was Alucard and that he was trying to hide it from him made Trevor feel all sorts of things.

"I know you're in pain Alucard and I am sorry, I really am"
Trevor paused a moment
"But I need to know if I can trust you"

Alucard didn't have the energy to keep eyecontact anymore. He couldn't help but laugh a little at the ridiculous queation. While the pain the silver was contributing fueled his anger, he was just so tired of Trevors sheer stupidity.
Alucard let out a sigh. His breathing still a little labeled.

"Well last time I checked I am the one in restrains" Alucard attempted to bring his wrists up to showcase his point but stopped halfway due to the painful motion the silver brought with it. A near inaudiable whimper escaped him from the uncomfortable position.

"Besides, don't you think if I wanted too I would have hurt you already?"

Trevor didn't say anything. He wasnt sure what to say. Instead he just muttered "fuck" under his breath.
