Unconditional Love

Her lips turned cold and dry. The dark sky moaned with great anger. The winds screeched, leaves dancing around her. Her surroundings dead, abandoned. Her light chocolate colored eyes were pasted on the rocky ground, and she frowned with sadness. Eyebrows finally calmed, and her eyes teary. Sobbing sadly, she dropped to the ground, her knees hit the rocks and bled. Drops of blood ran down the sides of her legs. And she cried. Cried like never before. Her small, light hands clenched the small rocks, and she laid there like a helpless child. The smooth, clean skin she held was no longer beautiful, but torn, scarred with bruises, and blood had dripped continuously on her legs and dried up on her thighs. Her tears had eventually stopped and she was flushed red. But still, she laid there. She turned drowsy and her eyes began to get heavy.

The sound of her sobs and voice had been heard by one particular. He walked through the town, his face kept forward, but determined. For something. He searched, and finally ahead of him, he was staring at her. Her back facing him, he could recognize her scent. His eyes suddenly widened with surprise. His whitish, blonde eyebrows knotted, and his teeth gripped together. He ran towards her, tears running down his golden eyes. He knelt down and laid his hand on under her head, strings of her silky blonde hair entangled in his fingers. He held her close to him. Sparkled tears ran down his cheeks, baring his long fangs. “ Tis my fault, why you suffer constantly. And because of me, you cannot rest. You smile, but you are saddened. You laugh, but you are depressed. You speak with such delight, but you don’t mean it” tears kept running down as he spoke. After what seemed to be a while, he inserted his left arm through her legs, his right arm laid on her back, and swiftly lifted her up. Carrying her small body back with him.

She moved slowly. Her body sore, the bruises from her knees pained her, and she winced. Pressuring the sofa, she forced both elbows and lifted herself up. She rubbed her hand to her forehead. A rush of pain from her head encircled her whole body. Her emerald green outfit indecent and torn. Scratches on her legs. “My lady. You are awake, I’m glad” a man, nearly in his 50s stepped in the cold room, and smiled at her. He wore a brown robe, and his wrinkles appeared when he smiled gently at her. The young flinched, raising her brow she wondered who the man was. “Who are you? What am I doing here?” the man was in front of her and knelt down. “My lady, Master Alucard was so worried about you” she looked away from him, refusing to turn her face to his. “Alucard. Why him? He doesn’t care about me” she coldly replied. Tears beginning to appear again. She stared at the sofa, and the man’s expressions changed. He was surprised, but he finally understood what she meant. “My lady, he was sick worried about you. Of course, Master Alucard was worried about you. I was there, my lady” his expression was hopeful. Hoping she would understand the man’s master’s feelings. Still refusing to look at him, her face turned cold, dark, she didn’t believe him. The man said, “My lady, Master Alucard did not stop looking for you. He did not rest, did not eat, did not drink, did not stop. Why don’t you understand, my lady?” the man was cut off by her, “Because it’s not true. You believe words coming out from him, believe every word he says, even if they are not true at all. Just because you work for him” looking cold as ever, she maintained her sight on the couch. The man unhappy, sat on the sofa beside her, “My lady, I may work for Master Alucard, but I understand his feelings. I’ve understood his ways of act, his feelings, and relationships towards others” he looked at her, bewildered. “He doesn’t love me. He loves Sonia. Sonia Belmont” her eyes now, fixed on the man, definite of her words. “My lady, Master Alucard loves you. Not Lady Sonia. I wish I can change your mind. Please, my lady, please believe me. Master Alucard will die for you, only for you” his ebony eyes stared at her, not wanting nothing but for her to believe him. She sighed in defeat, “I won’t believe you. But, I will talk to Alucard” quietly getting up, she struggled walking, she was told by the man that he was in the Grande Living Room. Slowly opening the door, she strode towards him. He was looking outside, the glorious sunrise, he was admiring the scene. His arms to his sides, he sighed, knowing she was in the room. “You should be resting, Maria. It is far too early for you to recover yet” he kept his eyesight on the scenery. Stopping just a few meters away from him, she replied, “You brought me here. Why?” he sighed once more, “Because” “What ‘because’?” “Do I need a reason to bring you here?” silence. Eerie silence filled the room, “Why can’t you just say it?! Why do you have to make it so hard for me?!” she sobbed, he refused turning his face to hers. He was hurt. Hurt, as if a sword had pierced his broken heart. “You love Sonia! I know you do, why do you have to make it so hard for me?!” she dropped to the ground, sobbing in front of him. He turned, emotionless. But he was heartbroken, inside. His heart was shattered into millions and millions of pieces. He cried on the inside, hurt, broken, depressed. “Why do you cry so much, Maria?” he walked towards her, not knowing what to do next. She cried, not listening to him, and resumed to her tears. Kneeling down, he looked sadly at her. “I wish I can convince you and prove to you how much I’m in love with you. I only wish for your happiness, but I wish for mine also. I wish for you to know how much I want to take care of you, how much I care about you. I only wish for you to know, that I will only find true happiness in life when I’m with you” his eyes were teary, and he stared at her. Sadly. She stopped crying and stared at him back, her light brown eyes looking into a pair of pained golden eyes. His eyes telling her he loved her more than anything. Telling her, he will not stop loving her, telling her.... she sniffed, wiping her tears away from her reddened face.
