RAVEN POV

As I was comforting Alucard, Trevor and Sypha came back.

"So, how do we proceed?" Sypha asked.

"Have the Speakers left?" I asked.

"Yeah." Trevor said.

"I'm sorry. In success, you will see them again soon, in far happier circumstances." Alucard said.

I gave Sypha a smile and nodded.

"See? he knows how to be nice. Raven didn't even say anything but she was still nice. You need a lesson from them both." Sypha said.

I giggled at this.

"Is it true, then? The castle can travel somehow? We know the stories, but sometimes it's hard to separate myth from truth." Sypha asked.

"Tell her about Dracula's castle, Alucard. Her day can't get any more ruined." Trevor said.

I looked around and grabbed the stick Alucard was holding onto and threw it at Trevor's head.

He looked over and mouthed "what?"

"Be nice." I say quietly.

He grunted and began to rummage through the crate.

"Dracula's castle moves. How to describe it? It travels without moving. It appears at locations as if...well as if by magic." Alucard explained.

"Interesting." I say, looking through the crate as well.

Trevor pulled out a bottle and I began to get all hopeful until there was nothing in it.

"There has to be some way to trap it. How do we start?" Sypha asked.

"I want to go home." Trevor said.

"Have you been drinking again?" Sypha asked, kinda pissed.

"Some chance. But no. I want to go home. The old Belmont estate." Trevor said.

"I was under the impression it was destroyed. Villagers, pitchforks, and torches." Alucard said.

"Yeah." I agreed.

"It was. But the value of the house wasn't the house itself. It was what was underneath it. The Belmont Hold. Our family library and trove." Trevor said.

"The knowledge and material of generations of Belmont's who fought creatures of the night." Alucard said.

"Sounds interesting." I say, sarcastically.

"If it survives." Alucard said.

"If there are solutionsto the problems oh finding and killing Dracula, they are in the hold." Trevor pushes on.

"You're guessing though." Alucard says.

"I am guessing. I can't read or understand magic. But my family stored everything they found, including books of magic and whatever other weird stuff they came across. I just can't do anything with it. But you three can." Trevor said.

"Fortunate, then, that I chose to not kill and eat you, Belmont." Alucard says, smirking while looking at his gloved hand.

Trevor had made a face towards Alucard.

"And that I decided against gutting, flaying, and turning you into shoes, Alucard." Trevor said, lifting his leg up slightly.

"Such a merry band we are. I will find ya a covered wagon and horse. If you two can manage not two kill each other while I'm gone. Raven watch over them."  Sypha said, getting irritated.
