Alucard listened as Amanda described her life, from the past leading to the present, and it sounded like it was a very harsh and cruel one, with bittersweet memories of vampires who had taken care of her, to the foster parents. He reached out and held her small, cool hands in his. "I'm so sorry, Amanda.." Alucard replied softly. Had he been alive at that time, he could have protected her from such melancholy.

Amanda sniffed,a nd with her free hand she wiped away her coming tears. "It's, it's okay." she said in her cry voice.

Alucard wrapped an arm around Amanda's shoulders. "It wasn't easy for me, either. This new life..the present and modern world." Boy was this going to be a story to tell.

"When I died the first time," Alucard began, "I thought I would be dead forever. But..I was brought back. Reincarnated. My father in this time period is Samual Grimsley. He apparently got a DNA sample and infused it with my unborn body..and well, here I am. But I wasn't born a vampire, I just had the gifts, and my original characteristics. The black hair, orange eyes."
"I wasn't aware of who I was. All I knew was that I was Samual's and Hannah's son. We were a happy little family, until I turned eight. My mother and I were coming home from our special mother-and-son day out, when some guy on the interstate slammed into our car, and we toppled over the rail to the traffic below. She died..but I didn't. I just regenerated. After that, my father got depressed. He'd go out and drink, leaving me home alone for hours."
"And whenever he'd get back, he'd be so angry..he'd beat me often. I ran away a lot, but he'd always find me. Eventually, he got sick and tired of me, and dropped me off at my grandmother's house. I've lived with her since I was 11. When I turned 17, she sent me here. Some of the other students knew I was Samual's son, but they looked past that. They liked me. I made a few friends."
"But then there was her." Alucard took a breath; he was about to go into his love life, and it wasn't easy to talk about because he was still hurt. "During my second week here, I saved this girl, Raven, from the previous headmaster's guard dog, and eventually helped to bust her out of detention. Detention was close enough to the death penalty with Mr. Carter. He had these chains that made you unable to use your powers. Plus they burned on contact. Anyways, she found me dancing alone in the Dance Room, and she joined me."
"We'd hang out in AP Biology, and talk endlessly about anything. And somewhere, I don't know where, we fell in love. That's when I discovered she was half-vampire..and I was ok with it. Meanwhile, the issues with the school were getting worse, and I disobeyed what the headmaster said. I was put in detention, and Mr. Carter, along with Zmey, one of his helpers, tortured me. I thought I was going to die. Luckily, Gwen saved me, and I recovered. But I began to realize how strongly I felt for Raven. I never wanted death to seperate me from her..so I asked her to turn me."
"Kinda cliche isn't? To die for love. After that, our relationship got closer. I vowed to get revenge against Carter for the wrongs done to the students. I heh..lead a rebellion against him that ended up killing him and his Watchers. I spared Zmey though, because he never had a choice, he was forced to obey Carter. That, and Juliet cared about him. I couldn't let him die. We're friends now. For a while, everything was fine. Everyone was happy, especially since Mr. Talbot became the headmaster. He's a good man. It was also during that time that I found out I was Vlad."
"Weeks later, a few students including myself, began to act strangely because of some illness that only those with gifts can get. I wasn't myself..and the way the Sickness made me act..it drove Raven away from me, until she couldn't deal with it anymore. I tried to commit suicide, but I fell into a coma instead. All that time, I was in this strange other-world called Fathom, and to get back, I had to die there. And then I woke up, and there you and Radu were.."

Amanda was a good lister, and she nodded, and let out little "Emm Hmm's" as she listed to her Father. She placed her hand on his knuckles again. "I'm sorry Father......" she said, truthfully. "That.. was... not a good past.." she said, giving him a side hug.

"Well, neither was my past life," Alucard said, welcoming the side hug. "And despite everything..I'm still in love with her. Amanda, do you remember Mina?"

"Umm... No.." Amanda said. "Who's that Daddy?" Amanda asked, curious.

"Oh.." Alucard trailed. He then remembered that he'd sent her away when she was 5...she never met Mina. "Uhm, well..nevermind.."

"Who was she?" Amanda questioned again.
