Aw shit... now where am I?

Whoever decided to hit me from behind was really a poor sport! Not only that they should be glad they decided not to stick around. Huh.

Bah, this is a load of bull--wait a minute. What do we have here? Some type of cellphone? No, no that’s not it, a calculator? No! Think Hol, think!... hn...

Okay so perhaps it’s just some manner of technical device that serves no purpose what-so-ever. Other than to record what I'm saying. Now then! Back to square one... where am I? This place looks kind of... dull.

[It was the eleventh hour of night when the wolves began to ululate, crying to one another that the hunt was on for fresh blood had been spilt. (http://emperor-cowboy.livejournal.com/2008.html?thread=33240#t33240)]

[He winced upon hearing those howls... and was quickly reminded of his current condition, and the carcass of the creature the dead wolf that lay off in the distance.]

[It was certainly a smorgasbord of blood and entrails, a pungent scent that wafted to a watering pallet closing in on the source of the aroma of death. Like the shadow of the Reaper looming over the fallen, billowing silhouette cloaked the light of the moon from Hol's sight. Two red eyes opened at half mast within the mass of black and cocked to the side rather listlessly as the figure observed the broken corpse at it's feet.]

Another foolish victem...

[He uttered, turning to let the light catch his face to reveal he was quite human-like in appearance, yet hardly interested in a braggart who thought it would be fun to go out at night where things like He stalked.]

[Hol blinked at the figure that stood just above him, and swallowed hard. He was expecting wolves' eyes to glow with light reflecting within them, but this figure took him by surprise...]



[No, he wouldn't be left alone here to be some creature's meal.]

W-wait!...

[There was a sigh of half frustration as if he were moldering over something morale in his head. He could practically hear her command loud and clear in his mind, 'Save any you can! This mission depends on you Alucard!' Just the memory had him inwardly purring, longing for her order, but what another obstacle this was.]

Hn. You don't want to die.. is that right?

[Glancing over his shoulder he could tell the man had been in a fierce battle and was clinging to life as hard as he could. Out of sheer fear? Or force of will? He had come this way to collect from his new donor in the apartments across the park. Would he ever drink again?]

[Hol froze, almost in fear from the man's voice. Swallowing hard, he gathered what remained of his broken courage.]

Th-that's right... P-please...?

[Noting the fear his smile was only slight. It was to be expected, for he saw fear towards his form as respect when rightly placed.]

Hnn..

[He sunk down to one knee near the man's body, looking him over like a piece of flesh, assessing every wound upon him. These cuts were precise, it was no animal that attacked him. Gloved fingertips spread out and touched Hol's throat, feeling his fluttering heartbeat.]

You won't have long for this world, so the question I ask you now must be answered swiftly.

[This man's actions left Hol completely confused. The question left him even more speechless.]

What...What is it you want to know? I really don't have anything on me... I-I don't even know why I'm here...!...

The compensation will come with your answer.

[He whispered briskly, red eyes pulsing, wishing to know how much worth this man's life had. Hol's shuddering eyes told tales of terror Alucard would be peeked to wonder how he kept alive this long. Yet the question came as one driven by his hunger for veins of purity, and while this man looked far too old to even be considered, he knew of few diamonds in the rough in his extended life time.]

Are you a virgin?

[Comment Log]

[emperor-cowboy.livejournal.com]

[The blonde was silenced, his shoulders quivering.]

Y-y...

[Hol found that this question was harder to answer. What business was of this man's anyway?]

What... what does that have to do with if you'll help me or not?

[Comment Log]

[king-no-life.livejournal.com]

I will leave you to the wolves if not.

[Not a syllable was shaken he was deathly serious. And just to solidify he was not bluffing, he slowly rose back up, and quirk a slender brow as the wolves howled in the nearing distance.]

Time is of your essence. Your answer.

[Hol flinched at the possible outcome of all of this... and the thought of being left alone to die finally caused the remainder of his defenses to crumble.]

Yes...!! I don't understand why it's important to you but yes!...

[king-no-life.livejournal.com]

[Alucard paused as if he had heard him wrong, yet the second yes followed desperate and clear. Well now, this would prove more beneficial than he had originally perceived. His smile was even genuine, not a hint of malice or teasing behind it he was sure the man would be expecting from most humans.]

You are pure, placing above many of the filth I find here...

[Leaning down, his hands grasped the man under his shoulders and hauled him up into his arms effortlessly. Turning on heel he actually looked rather pleased with himself as he headed towards Lander Blvd.]

I desire what is untainted.. Your compensation will be donation..

Of your blood.

[At being simply picked up, the roughed up cowboy seemed a little more at ease. This man was apparently going to offer to help him at hearing the answer to his strange request. Yet Hol's face seemed to fall at the last words he heard.]

Wait...

Did you just say donation of my blood? You're a... You're a...

Nos~fu~ra~tu...

[The monster breathed a cold wisp of air like Winter's chill as he slowly grinned at the man, this ashen lips parting to unveil porcelain shark-like incisors gleaming in the moonlight.]

This... isn't... good...

[Hol swallowed hard, trying to think of a way out of this, though... this fellow at least offered to help rather than pummel him into the ground...]
