bloodsong1Alucard settled on the window ledge and transformed, letting his boots hang inside. A glance around the room made him smile. Candles, rose scent, a bottle of champagne cooling in a bucket on a table and on the bed...
He sniffed and leapt from the ledge to the bedside. Stripping off his gloves, he touched her neck. The vampire shook his head.
"Cool as ever, Mina." He said, his voice rumbling. Tossing his gloves on the nightstand, he prowled the room. On the table, besides the champagne, was a sheathed blade and a plant. All three objects had an envelope attached with black ribbon, addressed to three people. Alucard stroked the bottle, then started to laugh. His mirth grew until his head was flung back, his dark chuckles echoing in the room.
"You little minx!" He turned back and sat next to Rowan's cool body, taking her hand in his. "Deprive me and tease me all at the same time. I should warn you, Mina, I am furious with you. I find you after all these years and you wiggle out. But you did it alone. No strapping husbands and pompous professors. Just you and...what DID you use?" He looked around again and finally spotted the goblet. Standing, he picked it up and sniffed inside. "Mint? No, something else." A piece of paper on the edge of the mirror caught his eye. He pulled it closer. "Hemlock. My, how classic." Crumpling the paper, he tossed it away and sat down on the bed again. He leaned over and stroked her hair back from her face. Rowan had a slight smile on her face. "Yes, you impressed me with this stunt, Mina. But you also betrayed yourself. I now know you, better then I did the last time. I know your soul. I promise you, Rowan Mina Ascot, I will find you again. I have all the time in the world. When you are reborn, I will track you down. Next time, you will not turn away. I will have you." Alucard closed his eyes and kissed the dead woman's lips. "But, for now, I will enjoy your gift. Oh, and I am taking the goblet too."
