Alucard x Reader; For Your Convenience

Part 3

Your plan had failed spectacularly. It wasn't a great plan you had to admit, but when there's an angry vampire staring you down you kind of have to get creative.

You kept your head down as you walked to the Inn. This was so embarrassing, you were not looking forward to having to face him again, and would he even believe your explanation?

When you stepped in, the innkeeper seemed both surprised and relieved to see you. They had kept your things just as you'd left them. You found everything right in its place, not a single item missing, which made you feel a little more at ease. It's not that you'd suspected the innkeeper to steal your things, but you couldn't shake your inner worrying.

"Thank you, please, take a little something for your time," You said, offering the innkeeper some coins.

"No no," they replied, pushing your hand back. "It was nothing, my dear."

You didn't tell them about the deal you'd made, choosing not to worry them. Surely word would spread with time and they'd hear about it when someone else put it to them gently, when things were more certain.

With your things in tow, you headed back to the alley. Normally, when approaching something unpleasant you would walk slowly, but right now you didn't have the time to waste. Taking too much time would probably just anger him even more.

The alleyway was just as empty as when you'd left it. The vampire leaned against the wall with his arms crossed. Hearing you approach, he stood up straight, walking over and grabbing your suitcase.

"You don't have to-"

"You're still too weak. If I don't do this I'll end up having to carry you as well," He explained.

There was nothing else for you to say, so you shut your mouth and went back to looking at the ground. On the way back, he made the trip look easy. While you struggled not to slip on wet logs and moss he jumped over them like it was nothing, even with the added weight of your luggage.

Your struggles were met with disappointed glares from him until eventually he couldn't wait any longer and he ended up helping you.

"You are impossible y/n," He groans as he grabs your arm and roughly pulls you up and over whatever you were climbing

"T-thank you. Wait, I don't know your name," You realized.

His eyes twitched in annoyance. Turning around without a word, he continued walking, trusting that you would fall into step behind him.

"Since we're going to be spending so much time together, shouldn't I know your name?" You pressed.

It was hard to keep up with him, you were nearly speed walking while he was barely above a shuffle. He sighed, leaning his head back in annoyance.

"Alucard, but you will call me sir, or master," He hissed.

"Do you not like your name?" You asked.

"No, I just don't want you getting any ideas. You will know your place as my food, you are beneath me and therefore do not deserve to call me by my name," Alucard replied.

You gulped at the severity of his answer. It was hard for you to accept the whole "being his possession" thing, but you knew you had to. For now, you would just have to learn to live with it.

His castle finally came into view as the forest cleared. It was so foreboding at night if Alucard weren't there with you, you probably would have turned around and ran back to the village.

He opened the door in front of you but did not hold it open. You were on your own to close it behind you. He took your things up to your room and threw them on your bed. As you placed the things you had carried on the ground, he walked past you to the door.
