Alucard's Gale°Force (Hellsing/X-men)

Tracking (24)

Vlad aka Alucard sauntered into the club 'Queen of Hearts'. His best sense to detect at the moment, was scent. Anne wasn't at the club but another one was, Chelsea. He moved through the crowd and slipped up, behind the girl. Her other two friends, none from the other night, stared and had big smiles.

"Chelsea! Oh look who is behind you!" the two girls screeched in unison.

Chelsea blinked, as she turned to see, the beautiful monster. She went pale. "Prince Vlad..."

"Hmm, may I have a word with you?" his fingers curled a strand of hair and raised it to his nose. His eyes never moved or blinked, when he stared at her.

"I need a drink excuse me," The girl rose quickly and then Chelsea walked up to the bartender, "Martini."

She tapped her fingers, on the bar counter and swallowed hard. Vlad's finger tips picked another strand, of hair and studied it. His mouth moved to hear his ear, "If Gale was upset, where would she go? Would she go to Anne?"

"She might since she's new to London.  What does Gale have, that I don't? You wouldn't really hurt me?" the prideful young woman asked.

"You mean I would  not kill you, if it served a purpose not to," his teeth clicked in her ear. "You would not survive my affections, your mind is... too fragile," he hissed.

She looked and shivered. It was a mouth full of sharp teeth. "I thought only the canines became pointed..."

"So you are an expert on vampires now?" Vampire King chuckled coldly.

"But all the books say..."

The Vampire ran his tongue, over his teeth,"Books written by humans, little girl... humans, not the Vampire King. English is not my first language but old Romanian and I do not write...anymore."

"Wait! What? Vlad as in Impaler? The impaler?" Chelsea squeaked.

Vlad breathed on her neck, "As in you would already have a greased pole, going up your ass, for being a stupid follower of others. Now figure out how I find Gale or I will not stop with just you but your whole family ground, under my boots."

"No, please don't! I can be useful!" Chelsea begged.

Gale decided to go to her apartment.

The windows were replaced but it was a wreck, so she decided, to clean it up. She put on a tank top and stretch athletic shorts. The woman sighed, she no longer desired to wear over the top, sexy clothes. Alucard would not be amused but she didn't care.

At this moment, she didn't feel remotely sexy. He toyed enough to get her attached to him, maybe not love but enough it hurt, when he said she was replaceable. Phillip said the same thing to her and then she would be back.

Her thoughts were interrupted by her phone. Gale looked and saw it was Anne. "Evening Anne, how are you?"

"I'm good but I have a Romanian Prince that wishes to speak to you."

"He called you? I will call him tomorrow..." Gale sadly stated.

"No, he's standing in my living room and holding his hand out for the phone. Apparently you are not answering his texts or messages," Anne said.

Anne stared at Vlad and tried not to shake. Her cat was tucked next to him and under his left arm. He had a pleasant smile, like this was just what you did, when you threatened people to do as you wanted. Anne gave him the phone.

"Draga mea, are you safe? Alucard has not hurt you? I have been worried," the Shadow King asked. 

Aah, such lovely head games...

"I aah, have been swamped with work, the last ten days and really bad headaches, every night. Sorry to worry you, l need to go. I'll call tomorrow maybe..." the American woman stammered.

"Gale at least tell me why you will not talk to me..." he asked genuinely this time.

"I should figure you know quite well Alucard," Gale fumed.

"Alucard? Do I look like him? Do I act like him?" Vlad pretended.

With a huff of breath Gale answered, "Alucard you're a vampire, you can alter your appearance. I'm not stupid, last time, I checked."

" Draga mea do you know how crazy that sounds? Vampires aren't real. Just because I am Romanian does not make me a vampire. Well, not since I last looked in the mirror," Vlad cooed softly, as he was trying to settle her nerves.

"But you kept feeling my pulse and biting. Your lips are that sensitive? I'm so confused and I got kicked out of Hellsing, until further notice. Alucard doesn't want me, so I've probably lost my job," she was starting to choke up, not to cry.

Vlad rolled his eyes.

That was not remotely, what he said at Hellsing but that's what she thought, she heard. Maybe he didn't explain it well, his head was hurting at the time, too. Such a beautiful and powerful toy, no better beloved pet...spirited pet right now.

"Hold on, what? Can he kick you out? He's not your boss right?" Vlad pretended not to understand.

"No but...the look on his face was the worst part. I disgusted him somehow. I don't know what I did, it's the look when he calls someone a freak. That's me, a freak! I don't want to be a freak!" Gale choked on tears now.

"Since when did a guy like Alucard count? Draga mea meet me somewhere tonight. You pick the location and I will be there. If you do not want to continue, you need to say it in person, to my face. Do we have a deal?" Vlad ordered more than asked.

"I guess...I don't know where to meet," Gale said sadly.

"There's an old pub called the Admiral's Daughter (yes like Queen of the Damned). Meet me there in an hour and be more modest than you are known for."

The woman snorted indignately "I only need to dress and I can head out now."

"I will see you soon...draga mea... do not stand me up," he growled softly.

Gale hung up and sighed. She put on a black shirt  with  thumb holes and black jeans. Practical leather boots and a trench coat. Her hair was in a thick braid, pulled back. Gale called a cab and proceeded down the road she went. The American woman went over in her head, how to tell Vlad to move on and leave her behind.

"Dear sweet Anne, you have been quite helpful. Remember it still stands about my warning. We are at a delicate point in our budding relationship..." Vlad smiled seductively.

"You lied to her! You are a vampire just like Alucard? Did you create him?" Anne yelled back.

"Mmm, something like that. Your friend is truly special and has an unusual blood type. She is like rare spiced wine, that all vampires like. I am willing to share with Alucard but none other," Shadow King hummed.

He handed the phone and the cat to Anne. " If she calls you tonight, call me in turn. I would stay away from the Queen of Hearts and be home before dark. Good night Anne..."  He kissed her on the cheek and phased out of her house.

Vlad had a quick stop at Chateau Sanguine to prepare his room. It was set up with candles, rose petals and orange slices, dipped in chocolate. She would eat them and he would taste them, as they kissed. Now to get her settled once again. Phillip Gray needed to come, to London and be put to death, vampire style. One thing bugged him, what abilities does Phillip have?

He needed to find out...
