Faith

Standing up from the uncomfortable couch, Alucard steps past the blue haired beauty with red eyes and walks down a stairwell, leading into the basement of the church. Seeing the ominous and open expanse, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. At the end of the cave like space, a large black cross covered in chains was against the wall.

Seeing the cross, Alucard grinned and said "Just like the original.. I wonder, do I even need this to take sacred gears? Can't I just steal them along with their souls?" Holding his chin in thought and shrugging after a few moments, Alucard turns and walks back up the stairs while muttering "I'll figure this out later. First, I should go and greet my soon to be friend."

.

Nervously looking around in an empty street, a young girl with blonde hear and wearing a nun outfit mutters "Where..?" Walking forward, she was too distracted to notice a tall man, wearing a red coat and similarly red fedora, appear in front of her.

Bumping into the man, she falls back and lands on the ground with a huff. She confusedly looks up, finding the man perfectly fine and looking at her with a small grin, which slightly unnerved her. Quickly standing up, she dusts off her butt and says "Ahh.. I'm sorry! I-I was distracted.."

Seeing that she was about to continue apologizing, Alucard shakes his head and says "It's quite alright. Though I wonder, are you perhaps lost?"

Not bothering to question how he came to such a conclusion, the girl smiles and replies "Oh, Yes! I don't mean to be a bother, but do you know where the church is?" Turning to the exact direction of the church, Alucard answers "I do indeed. I'm.. somewhat of a resident of the church, so I'm inclined to ask why you would want to go there?"

The girls face considerably brightens before returning to normal as she replies "Oh! Well you see.. I'm supposed to be transferring to the church in this town.." A look of realization crosses her face as she questions "That reminds me! Do you happen to know Lady Raynare?"

Holding his hand over his mouth to hide a grin, Alucard says "I do." Seeing her face brighten up once more, he states "Unfortunately, you've just missed her. She left for.. personal reasons last night."

With a frown, the girl looks down and sadly mutters "Oh.. that's too bad." Looking up towards him, she lightly smacks her forehead and says "I forgot to introduce myself! My name is Asia Argento." Finished with her introduction, she expectantly awaits for the man to do so as well.

Seeing her staring at him without saying anything, Alucard awkwardly coughs into his hand and replies "Well, my name is.. Alucard. How about I show you to the church?" Seeing that she was about to deny, he adds with a grin "I was heading there myself, no need to be so reserved."

Bowing slightly, Asia thankfully answers "Then I'll be in your care from now on Mister Alucard.."

.

Seeing Asia's slightly disappointed face at the state of the church, I sigh and say "The church is short on personnel.. I've tried my best at cleaning," A lie, "But there's only so much a single man can do."

Waving her hands in front of her, Asia replies "Ahh, it's no problem! I'll assist as best as I can from now on.." This cute and innocent nun isn't exactly my cup of tea, but I can't help but want to taint and corrupt her.

Hiding my grin, I open the door leading into the church while stating "What do you say I give you a quick tour." She appeared slightly nervous, but ultimately agreed. Standing in front of the door, I say "After you.."

.

The tour wasn't exactly optimal considering the state of the church, but Asia didn't seem very bothered. Well, she was very good at hiding it. I can read her mind after all. Her thoughts were a mess. She was scared, relieved, stressed and felt many other emotions, but it wasn't my duty to help her. After all, it was only a matter of time.

Standing in front of the staircase leading into the basement, I addressed the slightly tired blonde "This, is the basement." More then before, she was rather averse to walking down the stairs as even from here, there was an ominous feeling coming from the basement. If only she knew.

Standing at the top of the staircase, I watch as she apprehensively takes step after step, slowly and slowly coming to a halt. The moment she had the full view of the basement, she completely froze. I can't blame her though. It's seriously one of the creepiest rooms I've ever seen. It looks like a demonic ritual, which, in a sense isn't wrong.

Walking up to her, I place a hand on her shoulder, making her flinch. With a grin, I say "No need to stop Asia. Come, let's continue." She made no effort to move, but still said nothing. I have to hand it to her. If it was anyone else, they'd surely be panicking and attempting to escape to some degree, but she seemed to be giving me the benefit of the doubt. She had so much faith in god and since I'm supposedly a servant of god, why would I ever harm her?

Seeing that she wasn't moving, I put my other hand on her other shoulder and pushed her forward. Leading her to the back of the room, with her being silent all the while, I stopped us in front of the cross and said "That wasn't so hard, now was it."

Letting go of her shoulders, I take a step back and zone in on the cross while saying "I'm sure you know what this is Asia?"

She shakily reached into her dress, pulling out a silver cross while quietly saying "It's a cross.. Why.." Turning back to me, she questions with tears in her eyes "Why did you bring me here Mister Alucard?"

Without bothering to hide my grin any longer, I removed the pair of glasses covering my eyes and answered "To bring you a choice. It's quite ironic, is it not? In the presence of such holy symbol, not to mention."

Holding the small silver cross even tighter, she resolves herself and stares directly into my eyes, before saying "I-I won't abandon my path! This is.. was my one chance to redeem myself.. You can kill me if you want, but I will never stop worshipping god!"

Raising an eyebrow, I clap slightly and say "Well said. You don't even know what choice I'm giving you? I'll be honest," Shaking my head with a frown, I continue "You're choice was pre-decided unfortunately." Grabbing her shoulder, I sink my fangs into her neck, beginning the conversion.
