Son Of Dracula

Episode 5: A Chance Meeting pt. 2

[Alucard POV]

"Hello... my son." The man says to me. Why do I feel drawn to this man? And why did he call me son? I don't even know him! This is all too strange to me. The man then approaches me, and I stand face to face with him, and his arua feels cold, but warm at the same time.

"I can see you don't recognize me, my name is Vlad, but historians know me best by the name Dracula. I am your father."I laugh with disbelief as I look at this man and Icarus. I honestly think that this fool is joking with me.

"You cannot fucking be serious, there is no way that you are real. I read about you, the books, the movies..." I say.

"...are just fantasies that some people falsely believe in, a small percentage of people actually know the truth." He says to me.

"Yeah? Then tell me, why are you here? Why did you bring me here?" I ask him.

"To simply show you the truth, it is by choice that you came here." He reveals.

"There is one question that I am burning to ask... why do I feel cold, but still human?" I ask.

"You are a Vampire, and you are also Human, a hybrid of the two races. You have all of the strength and abilities of a Vampire, and none of their weaknesses."  Vlad says to me.

"So, everything that kills a Vampire, I am immune to?" I wonder.

"Yes, your human half eliminates your Vampiric tendencies. You are fully in control of your primal side. Unless you are gravely injured." Vlad explains.

"If you are my father, where is my mother?" I ask him.

"Your mother was long dead after you were born, she was a very powerful witch, she made me immune to the side effects of Vampirism." Vlad tells me.

"So, she restored your humanity?" I ask.

"I always had my humanity, I just had difficulty controlling my desires." Vlad frowns for a second, before chuckiling..

"I can't believe that I am the son of Vlad the Impaler. This is unreal. How long have you been in New Orleans?" I ask.

"Twelve years, but I was alive for many centuries, waiting for the day you would awaken. Once that day would come, it would be time to prepare you." Says Vlad.

"Prepare me for what?" I ask.

"Maric..." Says Vlad.

"Who the fuck is Maric?" I ask him.

"Maric was a former friend of mine, he was one of the finest Generals in my army. When I became a Vampire, I turned all of my generals into Vampires as well. It was from that moment on, Maric was consumed by his animal instincts." Says Vlad.

"Why did he betray you?" I ask.

"I wanted to make peace with my people, but Maric wanted to instill fear in them. Maric attempted a Coupe, it resulted in the deaths of many of my people, including your mother." Says Vlad.
