•One evening about two weeks into Katla coming to Hellsing, Katla met in the kitchen.  She is getting her meal and so is Alucard, his blood packet.

"Oh! You do exist," she softly laughs. "Don't be so shy, Alucard.  I don't bite...much."

•Now the Vampire can see why so much of the human staff are comfortable with Katla.  Not to mention how stunning her beauty is.  Though Alucard is wary.

•Helen of Troy caused a war.

•After that night, Alucard is his usual self with flirting.  Katla rolls with the punches and occasionally 'zings' the Unholy King back.  Of course Shadow King bursts out in maniacal laughter all of Hellsing can hear.

•One late evening, early morning (3 a.m) Katla is in the Hellsing library.  Alucard finds her unable to sleep.

•~•°♤°•~•

"Alucard I have repeating nightmares," she sniffs."Can you help me?"

•The long ebony haired Vampire pucks Katla up and takes her to his living quarters.  The woman is snuggling her head against his cool chest.

•She is placed on his bed then he settles in next to her.  Katla immediately closes the distance and is snuggled tightly against him.

•Alucard runs his finger through her thick chocolate colored hair.  With time Katla falls asleep.

•Still Vampire can't shake a sense of suspicion.  Alucard does as he always does.  

•Sneak a peek into Katla's mind.

•He reads the remnants of her repeating nightmare.  Her parents were murdered by someone due to a home invasion.

•Now his highly sensitivity tuned Vampire mind can settle down a level.

•~•°♤°•~•

•Alucard and Katla are professional in the workplace but in his quarters is a different story.  The two are constantly entwined with Katla cooing her love and devotion for him.

•The lovers have been together for six months now.  Alucard has slowly been opening up more and more with Katla.  He actually feels safe enough to share some trauma in his past.

"It's going to be fine my Dark One," she softly replies.  "You are safe with me."

•~•°♤°•~•

•Then one day, Alucard wakes up during the day. He's hungrier than usual so he phases up and strolls to the kitchen.  His sensitive Vampire hearing recognizes Katla on her cell phone in the kitchen.

"I don't know Cale," she says to the man on the other end of the phone. "I only fuck him because he's a gorgeous piece of meat."

•How did she fool him?

•~•°♤°•~•

•Alucard goes along as if he never heard the conversation.  Yet a terrible, dubious plan forms in his dark mind.  The Vampire King has nothing but time on his side.

•Time passes and now Alucard makes it a game.  Until one late night, rain falling steadily and sure enough Katla has her 'nightmare'.

•This time Alucard can read her thoughts as the nightmare is replying in her mind.  What he learns from it, it's time to spring his trap.

"Katla wake up little one," Alucard shakes her shoulder. "You're having your dream again."

•He used to say nightmare not dream.

"Oh! Alucard!  My nightmare was more detailed than usual…" she wipes tears away.

"It's not really a nightmare is it Katla " he sneers. "It's a sweet dream of you murdering your parents.."

"What?"

"Please now," Alucard tsks her. "Did you not think I can read minds?  I can enter while you sleep?  You're a particularly nasty little human…"

"I don't understand what you are talking about…" she huffs.

"I am curious as to how you seem empathic," he tightens his hold on Katla.

"Oh please yourself.  Maybe if you got out more," she hisses angrily. "I'm a psychopath that has learned to act  empathetic…"

"Destroyed your teacher I should imagine," he coldly states.

"Well the thing with empathy is it rather easy to get them to commit suicide…"she smirks.  "Why do you care, vampire?"

"You lied.  You have been lying all this time," he sneers with canines showing. "I just might have misled you about my identity…"

•~•°♤°•~•

•Slowly, so achingly slowly Alucard unravels his body into twisting limbs of shadows and darkness.  He closes his eyes and licks his lips.

•His eyes open with not two but hundreds as the eyes fill all of his quarter up.  One large one is staring at her from his chest.

•Katla attempts to scream but a shadow tendril is shoved down her mouth.  Her eyes growl large and a real emotion is showing.

•~•°♤°•~•

•Fear. 

•True fear.

•~•°♤°•~•

"I may have neglected to reveal my true form," as he morphs to his Vlad form. "I am Vlad III Dracula and I am sure you know what I am famous for…"

Katla

It sounds innocent enough, but hear me out, because it’s not the sound of the name that has the creepy associations… it’s the meaning! The name Katla is the feminine form of the Old Norse male name Ketill, which means “cauldron.” Even creepier, the ketill was a cauldron used to catch the blood of sacrificial animals.

Parricide or parenticide – the killing of one's mother, father, or other close relative. Patricide – the act of killing of one's father (Latin: pater "father"). Pedicide – the act of killing a child.

Psychopaths tend to be more manipulative, can be seen by others as more charming, lead a semblance of a normal life, and minimize risk in criminal activities. Sociopaths tend to be more erratic, rage-prone, and unable to lead as much of a normal life.
