Freedom (Book 2/3) (Castlevania)

Secret Door

Published 5/6/2020

When we were safely on the ground Alucard gently laid me down with my upper body leaning against his leg.

My body felt hot and sickly. "I-i think there was poison in its claws" I hissed out feeling my wounds pulse.

"What are we going to do?! Human medicine won't help her" Sypha panicked her eyes flickering to Trevor and Alucard for answers.

"I might be able to help her" Alucard stated his gaze looking down at me. It was a solemn gaze. Whatever he was thinking he didn't seem to want to do it.

"To help her I would have to bite her and drain the poison. But if we don't do something soon she will die" Alucard explained looking to Trevor. He didn't look so keen on that. But one look at me and he closed his eyes, taking a deep breath he turned away from us.

"Do what you must to save her" he whispered before stalking away. Hands in tight fists at his side.

My vision started to go black and the pain became more intense.

"Alucard" I whispered weakly barely conscious, I shakingly raised my hand reaching for him. Cold fingers held mine in a soft yet tight grip.

"It will be alright, the pain will be gone soon" he whispered just as my world went dark. And I felt something pierce my throat.

-----------------------

"How's she doing" a voice broke through the darkness.

"She's still not awake yet. The poison, even though it was only in her body for a few moments did some damage. She should be awake soon" a gentle males voice spoke.

I felt my hair being played with and moved off of my face.

"It's all my fault. If I hadn't said those things to her! She would be fine right now" a strained male voice whispered  strained with guilt and regret.

"Trevor, you had no clue something like this would happen to her" a female's soft voice spoke trying to comfort the guilty man.

Who are these people? They sound so familiar.

"Sypha, I called her a monster and for fuck sakes I said I'd kill her! She probably hates me" he sounded so sad......so guilty.

"Why did you say that to her anyway?"

"I don't know. I just- I just got so mad, that she was trying to justify Dracula that I snapped. I hope that one day she can forgive me" the man whispered once again.

"It will take time Trevor. But for now, we need for her to get better and to get to your home" the smooth male voice spoke. Sounding closer than the other voices.

Then I faded back into the darkness. Sypha.....Trevor. Now I remember who you are. So that means the other voice was Alucard's.

------------

I slowly felt myself starting to wake up. My body felt heavy. Like it was full of led.

"We're here" Trevor's voice spoke.

"Ughhhh, where's here" I groaned finally opening my eyes.

"Freydís! Your awake" Sypha exclaimed looking back at me a smile on her face. Her large eyes were full of concern.

Blinking my eyes a couple of time my vision cleared up. I stiffened when I realized where my head was.

It was resting in Alucard's lap. His fingers were playing with the strands of my hair.

His golden eyes looked down at me. The held concern and relief.

"It's good to see you awake" he smiled showing his fangs. I layed there for a moment completely lost just starring at him.
