THE MOON HUNG HIGH, CASTING ITS PALE GLOW OVER THE FOREST AS ALUCARD STEPPED SILENTLY THROUGH THE TREES.          his sharp eyes scanned the shadows, always alert, always on the hunt. there was something different in the air tonight—-a subtle shift, an energy he hadn’t felt in centuries. his footsteps barely made a sound on the forest floor, the night swallowing everything in its wake.         ❨  …  ❩    suddenly, a flicker of motion caught his eye. his gaze sharpened, focusing on the shape that emerged from the darkness. a fae, he thought, his lips curling into a faint smirk. it had been so long since            he’d encountered one of her kind. they were always a nuisance, always with their mysterious powers and twisted games. yet tonight, THERE WAS SOMETHING DIFFERENT ABOUT HER PRESENCE, SOMETHING THAT PIQUED HIS INTEREST.                   ┈ ┈━━       “what is a fae doing in a place like this?” he mused to himself, his voice low and smooth like silk. his steps were slow, measured, yet they carried an         undeniable weight. lost? curious? he allowed the thought to settle in his mind.

the air around               him felt charged, the subtle hum of magic in the atmosphere as his eyes scanned the shadows, searching for her. alucard’s fingers twitched near the hilt of his sword, but he did not draw it. not yet. there was something more, something that held him back. it was a rare moment for alucard to pause, but in this instance, he found himself waiting. the faintest shiver of something unfamiliar brushed against him—-perhaps interest, perhaps something deeper. he couldn’t place it, but it stirred something inside him. it was dangerous. weakness, he reminded himself. emotion is weakness. he let out a quiet chuckle, his eyes darkening with a dangerous glint. what a strange turn of events.          “i’ve dealt with your kind before,” he said, his voice chilling, as he moved closer. “you’re no threat.”
                       the words slipped from his mouth with practiced ease, yet the air between them seemed to crackle with something more than power. alucard’s lips twisted into a sly grin as his gaze narrowed. the tension between them was palpable—-      more than just the exchange of strength or magic. it felt like something else, something that made him pause longer than usual.    ❨  …  ❩     no, don’t get caught in it, he told himself, but the curiosity lingered. what is it about this one?
            
            “tell me, fae,” he murmured, his voice taking on an edge of rare            curiosity. “what brings you to this place? surely, you don’t seek death, do you?”

alucard’s crimson eyes glinted with a predatory hunger as he studied the fae.          “fae, huh? how quaint. your blood’s probably as fragile as your kind, yet i can feel the pulse of your power..        intriguing. how long do you think you’d last against me?” a wicked grin curled on his lips as he stepped closer, his fingers twitching as if craving a weapon.       “maybe i’ll find out..     or maybe you’ll just disappear like the others. but i doubt it. you’re too..    interesting.”

@opraen    (  . . .  )           then,   I   would   show   you   what   it   means   to   bleed.   and   I   would   not   stop   until   you   taste   the   ash   in   your   mouth .     [        she   answered,   her   voice   low   and   edged   with   a   quiet   promise.   there   was   no   fear   in   her,   no   hesitation.    and   she   did   not   care   for   the  consequences.         ]      
            
                    you   think   I   don't   know   what   you   are ?   you're   nothing   new   to   me.    so   unless   you   plan   to   prove   otherwise—     [       reyne   narrowed   her   eyes,   the   final   words   laced   with   a   taunting   dare .       ]     —keep   your   hands ,  and   your   fangs,   to   yourself.

@opraen     (  . . .  )      [      the   dagger   pressed   against   alucard's   throat   was   no   idle   threat,   but   a   whisper   of   her   lethal   intent.   silver   runes,   ancient   and   crackling   with   dormant   power,   shimmered   along   the   curved   edge   as   her   fingers   flexed—  graceful   yet   unyielding.    and    yet ,   his   gaze   remained   annoyingly   steady,   unshaken,   almost   toying   with   her.   eyes   the   color   of   storm-tossed   seas   narrowed   as   the   vampire’s   casual   defiance   registered,   the   smirk   curling   his   lips   only   fueling   the   cold   fire   simmering   in   her   veins.   a   part   of   her   admired   his   audacity,   though   her   disdain   for   his   arrogance   outweighed   it.     ]
            
                 amused ?      [      she   asked,   her   voice   a   melodic   lilt,   carrying   the   faint   echo   of   winds   through   an   ancient   glade.   it   was   calm,   far   too   calm   for   the   predator   she   was.   her   dagger   did   not   waver,   though   his   pale   finger   had   nudged   it   aside.   it   hovered   just   near   enough   to   threaten,   an   unspoken   promise   of   what   it   could   do   if   she   chose.      ]     I   wonder,   vampire,   do   you   laugh   in   the   face   of   everything?   or   just   the   things   you   / think /   cannot   harm   you ?
            
                  [       her   delicate   neck   tilted,   the   movement   graceful   yet   deliberate,   exposing   the   column   of   her   throat   for   but   a   fleeting   moment.   a   taunting,   yet   daring   gesture .      ]

@faeoirs            as fragile as her delicate neck appeared, the corded muscle pulsed with life-—           a strange, intoxicating hum unlike any mortal or creature alucard had ever encountered she was a walking poison, dangerous and deliberate, but alucard merely stared, his gaze steady with quiet amusement. the sleeping soldier hardly stirred as she pressed a dagger to his throat, a mimicry of a threat that drew only a soft laugh from the vampire. his adam's apple shifted as he swallowed the moment,               his detached eyes betraying neither fear nor concern. what could possibly render him afraid when even death itself had fled from him? with a pale,         languid finger, he pushed the blade aside effortlessly, his voice smooth and amused. “gilded,” he mused, “but what if it were red as curdling skies or bright as the fiery hues of the ancients? what then?” she was dangerous.  he knew that much-—but after centuries of existence, alucard found himself more entertained than wary.

@hyrded    (  . . .  )      [         here   ,  in   this   mortal   realm   ,   reyne   had   discovered   the   need   to   blend   in   all  too  well .   the  clothes  she  would  usually  wear   brought   far   too   much   attention   to   herself   and   so  she  had  made  it  her  first   mission   to   change   into   clothes   that   were  deemed   ‘ normal ‘ .   a  plain  shirt  ,  pants   and  ,   what   the   store   owner   called   a   ‘ stylish  accessory ‘   of  a  leather  jacket .    the  waves  of  her  light  hair  covered  the  pointed   tips  of  her  ears  ,   and   she   suddenly   realised   how   relatively   / boring /   she   looked   .
