Pain Is My Love Language

Laughs and lies

Alucard: 

We had just finished listening to the tapes, when a very tired and sore looking Anderson collapsed into the office. He was covered in sweat, shirt missing, and he looked battle worn.

" That damn bitch broke the chains, got loose. Went to check on her, fucking cunt gave me a good row trying to re-cuff her properly." 

" I take it you healed, but you're sore?" 

" Like you wouldn't believe. Bitch cut me up with her nails something fierce, shredded my undershirt." 

" Seras said you had left from the gym, saying you had left to check in on her, make sure she was secure. Glad you did. Go rest, you more than earned it, Anderson. Alucard, you go make sure that beast is tied up right and proper." 

" Yes, my Master." 

I left at once, to find the woman in question ripped to shreds as well, the room in a mess, a knife in a table, slight red hue told me blood. Hers? More than likely. 

" So, gave the Priest a run for his money, huh?" I righted the room, the wench was awful quiet, but she watched me, a sadistic, gleeful smile plastered on her face. " What's got you so happy?" 

" He fought like warriors of old, I'm just proud is all, knowing men like him still exist." She cackled. 

"  Well, I bet you won't underestimate him again, will you?" 

" Nope. I never needed lessons repeated." She was hiding something. Her voice sounded way too blissful for it to just be a fight. Something happened. 

" I won't tell, I'm not a snitch, but, did he really fight you, or did he submit? Beast to beast. Monster to King." 

" I'll tell you this much, you are weak compared to him. You are no king, not in my eyes, strigoi. You are merely a Prince, nothing more." 

I slapped her, rage overcoming my sense. Her face healed from the sickening crack of her jaw breaking. 

" You hit like a bitch, vampire. That woman made you soft. I know you, Vlad, and I used to be a fan of your work, so was Mom and Lami, but now you just make me sad, you've become pathetic. Lami would be so disgusted with you now." 

I felt personally insulted and attacked. Pathetic? Weak? And how did she know my mortal name? Or the fact of who my maker was? 

" You are a relic of a time long passed, vampire, so do the world a favor, and act like the vampire you're supposed to be, or go curl up and die, you pathetic, useless, vile abomination!" 

" SHUT UP, YOU WICKED WHORE OF HELL!" I felt like I was crying, my red-stained gloved confirming this suspicion. I left to my chamber, and cried. 

" Master, are you alright?" 

" Seras! I-I didn't know you were here." I wiped my eyes, trying to regain my composure. 

" She got in your head, huh?" 

" In the worst way. She got to my ego and played it like a fiddle." 

" If you want, I could talk to her." 

" She'd kill you. She almost killed Master had Anderson not stepped in. What did he talk to you about, before going to check on her?" 

" Just that she had gotten in his head too, and made him violently upset as well. I hear she broke free and he fought her hard." 

" Yes, she has a way with words and peoples minds. Watch your back with her Seras." 

An alarm sounded, and I knew what it was. The interrogation chamber was open, and she had escaped. Caedis escaped. I went right to Master, Anderson already there in a fresh shirt and his jacket, worry on his face. 

" What happened?!" 

" Caedis escaped and is running a muck in the manor!" 

" Great! First she belittles me, then breaks free! How did she get out?" 

" No idea, it was locked from the outside, she can't have gotten out without tearing through the door." 

Caedis: 

" Silly boys, don't you know, I am a monster of old, you can't contain me!" 

I pounced onto the old vampire, and ripped out his neck with my teeth, pushing off his chest, which threw him into the opposite wall. I easily disarmed Alex, not wanting to really hurt him, but made it look like I had bested him. I know he was going easy too, but made it look like he wasn't. I had a blade to his throat, the very blade from our fun earlier. I was going easy for one simple reason. I was bored. Making the human think I cared, well, he is in for once hell of a shock. 

" If you want him back in one piece, you'll put your weapons down." My voice held malice, a laugh in my words. I had bit the vampire hard, and he was struggling to hold the one gun he could use. 

" I see my venom is taking affect. You want him cured, and your other hunter back, you'll let me go, and never follow me again!"

" Caedis, let me go, lass. You can do good, you can change." 

" I am violence incarnate, what good can I do, Anderson?" 

He moved, faster than I could process, and had me pinned, worry clear on his face to the worlds view. 

" Allison, I know you feel like a monster, but you can be saved, I promise. I can help you." 

" And what makes you think I want to be saved, Alexander!?" 

" Because I know you, for I am you!" 

I felt the world stop, and I felt him let me go, sitting on his knees, his forest green eyes watering like child who had done wrong. I scrambled away, knife long gone, not that I really needed the damn thing. 

" What do you mean by that, papist?" I hissed.

" I joined the Church to be judged and repent for my sins. I had joined to be a executioner of monsters and sinners alike. You are a monster, a symbol for evil, yet you think punishment only belongs to those who are living innocently. You killed not one, but two sets of married couples. Now, from my deduction, as a human, you had been married, possibly had a child even, and yet, something horrible happened to where you wanted justice for the crime that had happened to you.  You have a soul, you can be saved, and all I know is you somehow found it in yourself to trust me enough to help you. Why? I have no fucking clue, but if you let me, I can do just that."

Could I trust him? He sticks out a hand, a soft, unfamiliar smile on his chiseled face. I felt the jabbing pain of Typhon's magic in my veins, and my rage grew. I knew that pain, and it was his reminder of the lesson he taught me so long ago. 

" Trust is for fools, and I will never trust a PATHETIC MORTAL LIKE YOU, YOU USELESS FUCKING CUM SACK!"

I vanish, the last thing I see is his face, in tears, looking broken and hurt. I laughed.
