Pain Is My Love Language

Confrontation between the Prince and the Pauper

Alucard POV:

I was in my wife's office with our son, and he looked extremely guilty and terrified. 

" Gabe, you knew what you did was wrong. I'm not mad at who, just where." 

" It was a spur of the moment thing! I was hungry, and had nothing left in my thermos, so I had to get that kind of pent up aggression out somehow!" 

" Gabe, honey, while we understand that, you also know you are to ration your school stores until you get home! This isn't just kool-aid for you to drink willy nilly!" 

" Mom, I get that, it's just, things have been getting harder to deal with emotionally. I have these rage spikes and depressive bottoming outs that are debilitating. I hate that I feel like this." 

" Son, when did these start?" 

" About a month ago. I've been coping, but now it's getting too difficult to do this on my own." 

A knock came from the office door, and I could tell it was Alex.

" come in Alex." 

" I think the four of us parents need to have a conversation."

" Agreed. Gabe, go to your room and stay there. I'll have Baskerville watching you to keep you in there, so don't be stupid." 

Gabe left for his room, my familiar hot on his heels as Alex and Allison came in. 

" What seems to be the problem?" 

" Well, it turns out Millie has a massive emotional connection to Gabriel, but has either ignored it, or failed to acknowledge it. Millie isn't one to go and vandalize a building, and for her ot be the one to originally to find Gabe as he was, it hurt her to her core enough her common sense went out the window."

" Oh, oh dear. Vlad, what are we going to do? Gabe is emotionally compromised right now, and Millie is such a gentle soul. Millie would only get hurt if she tried to be with Gabe right now."

" Why, what's wrong with Gabe?"

I removed my glasses, and ran a hand across my face and into my hair. " Gabe is having his first real problem with his vampiric side. He's had it good for a while, but if he doesn't get out from under me soon, he'll become resentful and violent. Male fledglings of male sires often clash heads after a while, and its the same with females. I'll have to relinquish the master bond I have on him, just so everyone, including myself, stays safe." 

" Vlad, do you really think that letting him be his own vampire is safe?" 

" I do, Alex. He'll be bound, much like I am, but not to the Hellsing bloodline. It won't work due to him being a Hellsing." 

" Then to who?" 

" Who better than Millie? She's the coolant to his hot headed engine, Allison, and if we luck out, he'll willingly allow it to happen." 

" But Millie loves him, she wouldn't ever have with him what you two do."

" This maybe true, but who knows. Maybe this is just a childhood infatuation that will pass." 

" Integra, you know this to be a bullshit statement as much as the rest of us. Did you ever get over Vlad?" 

Integra gave a sharp laugh. " No, no I didn't." 

" So what do we do-"

We all heard a very loud rumble from an upper floor, and we all raced to find the source. I could hear the kids screaming before seeing them.
