Something about how he said my name made me blush harder.
"Lord Tepes, please call me William, Mr. Harker is my father."
"You don't seem to care about your father all that much." It wasn't a question but I nodded my head in agreement. "Since we are no longer formal, you can call me Alucard."
One hand stayed on my cheek as the other shook my hand again. The empty cheek felt cold without his touch. Something about him was calling me to do things, I have never done, in my twenty-two years of life. A chance wind blew by and it sent a shiver down my spine. Then I realized that we were standing outside in the cold.
"I do not wish to sound rude, but it is cold. Could you show me the inside of your beautiful castle?"
He moved his hands away from me and I felt like something was getting pulled out of me. He looked around as if he could not feel the temperature.
