The nightmare has a name (Alucard x reader)

18. His motive

I didn't know what to think. My mind was blank, reasoning and logic, nothing seems to fit together anymore. "Why?" was all I could say, as my body began to shake. "I enjoy your company..." he said, giving me little pecks on my lips "...not matter where...as this, as Valeria...it doesn't matter." I wasn't even capable to slap him; my brain doesn't seem to absorb any information anymore. Everything he said went past me. "Why did you do this?" I asked him.

"Why?" It sounded like he was teasing me.

"I enjoy your company, you really entertained me well" he said, smiling. Is that all??? "So I was just a toy to you?" I rather would leave and never come back to this place. If it wasn't for him...it would be possible. "NO!" he said, rather harsh "you are beyond a toy, beyond a slave... beyond my own kind." He leaned forward, touching my face tenderly, moving his hands down from the neck towards the shoulder. "All I want...is you...beside me...keeping me company..." he said, holding me closer to him "...till this nightmare will finally come to an end."

I didn't understand him, but he said that I will soon. He suggested for me to sleep, he will be there when I wake up. If it wasn't for his powers, I wouldn't even dare to close my eyes.

He lied beside me, singing to me in an ancient language. My eyes became heavy and I fell into a deep slumber.

Where was I?

I was on a battlefield, where several men were impaled, moving by the sudden wind, which blows through this field of death. It didn't take long for people to find me. They were men on horsed, holding a flag, with a massive V on it. One of them seem to be very familiar, he was in an armor of a knight and a red cape. His long wavy black hair danced in the wind, as his blue eyes inspected me from head to toe. Once he finished his scanning, he came over and lifted me onto his horse. He took me to a gigantic castle on the hills, where he sends me straight to the staff in the cellar. "Fix this girl and prepare her for work!" he ordered before letting me go. He took me in so I can be his cheap labor? Rude! From the others, I got a maids dress and training, on how to behave in front of the count and his countess.

"This is where you sleep. Work starts at 4 am and finishes at 9pm, you get breakfast and lunch only, if you forget the time or miss it, you get nothing", said the oldest lady of the staff also told me on how to behave in front of others. "When the count or countess demands something, you will obey without questions, understood?" I nodded fast. She wasn't in the mood to talk, as she had to prepare dinner. That is when I witnessed the true face of the count.

Bam!!!! A young girl came in, clothes ripped and her cheeks are fire red.

"Not again!" was all the old lady said, as another one went over to the girl "did you disobey?" the young girl nodded, getting another slap from the staff. I watched in horror as she hit the girl, telling her that she shouldn't show her face to the count ever again. "And who is going up there now?" said the first lady annoyed...until her eyes meet mine. "It seems a position in the castle...has just become available." They all agreed for me to go upstairs. All they said is for me to keep the count satisfied and in a good mood. "Keep him company and entertain him...if you can do that...you have nothing to lose", was all the old woman said, before pushing me into the room of the count.
