~~~ [START]
——————————{Flash back}
"Are there others?" Vlad asked, his posture now more relaxed, as the now risen Sun brought in warmth to the included, liten forest covered in trees.
"Huh?" Alucard seemed taken aback by his question.
"Are there others like us?"
"Like us, no", Alucard answered swiftly, hesitation only void, showing how sure he was of his words.
"But like him", he turned his gaze and looked at the headless corpse of a demon that took Vlad's mother. "About a hundred thousand"
"Is that a lot?"
"Almost too many to Exterminate"
Vlad looked down at his words, clearly speechless, or perhaps thinking nothing.
"Can you kill them?" his voice finally asked, "can you kill all of them?"
——————————{flashback end}
RINGGGG!!!
Vlad didn't know how long he stood there. He clearly didn't know how long he watched.
But he didn't move. Nor did they.
They just stared. Watching, as if waiting for someone to make a move.
He knew what they were, he could see.
Not even their gold shining eyes could deceive his instinct.
He remembered what Alucard had said, 'they smell like flowers', he couldn't mistake it.
"Vlad, why are you just standing there?"
He didn't even know who had spoken, he didn't even try to look back.
His eyes just remained fully locked on the ones that sat 10 feet apart from where he stood.
They didn't blink, neither did he.
They didn't move, and so he didn't.
Just nothing.
Thud!
A hand grabbed his arm as he fully lost all focus.
"Stop acting weird," Bella couldn't help but whisper, trying with all her might to pull him close, but,
Vlad didn't move.
His eyes were locked with Bella's, yet his focus was gone.
Even though he stared at her, something just seemed amiss.
"Vlad", she nodded his shoulder.
"Ohh, what's wrong?" Vlad shook his head, as if finally gaining notice.
"You good?"
He smiled at her words, perhaps realising the reactions from what he had done, or rather, what he didn't do.
"Sorry, I'm just," he was hesitant, "I'm not feeling well"
"Wait, what's wrong?" She seemed slightly worried.
"Na, it's fine, I'll just go the nursery",
"Nursery?", she was taken aback.
"Yeah, I'll… we will talk later," Vlad walked off.
Leaving Bella, standing in the middle of what seemed to be a staring contest, or rather a contest of war pending.
_________
His heart was beating. Louder than what he would expect.
As he walked to the bathroom, he could hear its beat increasing in speed, its intensity proving too much.
How long had it been since he felt this way, he truly didn't remember?
But his heart proved arrogant, and his emotions seemed the same.
So he ran, increasing his pace and letting out his speed.
He didn't seem to care at this point.
It wasn't ignorance, it wasn't childishness or foolishness.
He just didn't give a 'shit'.
So he arrived in seconds, no perhaps less.
And with a touch, the door handle was broken.
As moved his figure to the tap.
Opening the water and washing his face.
He Looked up, and fixed his gaze on the mirror that looked right back.
His eyes had turned red—blood red.
And his expression became dark—almost expressionless.
He didn't hate them, how could he?
How could he hate those who were the reflection of what he had become?
It was simply an overreaction.
One he didn't plan for.
Their crystals'd skin, their sharped eyes, mocking lips.
They reminded him of too much.
"Fuck, man", he faintly uttered. As he fixed his hair and changed his orbs that had taken the colour of blood.
They returned to blue. And his expression changed back.
He now seemed normal, as if nothing had happened.
Sighing loudly, he made his way to the door.
He noticed how he had ruined its handle. And its slightly blended frame.
But he just walked past it and made his way to the nursery.
Before he could even arrive, before he could even walk in.
A nurse walked out and handed him a note.
It was a pass, one which would allow him to leave for home early.
So without any words, without any waste of precious moving time, he left.
Leaving a school that brought back a painful memory.
Leaving remembrance of one he had loved.
One that had once abandoned him.
Abandoning him for death
Abandoning him for the heavens.
So maybe that's why he didn't notice.
Maybe that's why he didn't see that a dozen feet away, almost unseen by the human lens, was a figure—a short one.
That was staring at his leaving self.
The figure didn't move, nor did it make any attempt to follow.
It just stood there, watching, waiting, never reacting.
As if expecting something, as if expecting to be seen.
As if wishing that he—it was looking at would notice.
But he didn't.
SWOO!!!
So it disappeared, leaving nothing but flashes with its retreat.
Leaving the hallway of a school that would soon be filled with teens overfilled with hormones.
Teens of puberty pending.

SQUEAK!
The door opened as Vlad walked in.
His eyes, as always, remained slightly narrowed.
His expression showed nothing but the absence of any delight.
He was exhausted.
Not sleepy, not tired, just mentally drained.
So he moved to the Tv and grabbed the remote.
He switched it on, then nothing.
Only the sound of 'Iron Chef' playing in the background.
He was living in luxury.
A flat screen Tv was truly a spectacle to behold, for they had just recently come out.
"Should I invite Bella", he thought, as a smile played at the ends of his lips.
Thinking that he had finally made his decision.
And Moving to his phone, he made the call.
RING!!!
TOT!
"Wanna hang out?"
