Chapter 65: Resurrection.
~~~ [START]
"I'll tell you this," Alucard said, dropping to the ground, his eyes shifting to the stars above him. "One day, when you are ready, you will learn the art of resurrection, something similar to what I did to your mother."
Vlad, or at least a younger version of him, turned his eyes. "Then I can bring her back?"
"What, no," Alucard replied, his one hand raising up and blocking the moon, its light only seeping through his fingers. "I'm talking about using it on yourself."
Vlad just stared, brows raised, and eyes nearly falling asleep.
"Look, some time in the future, someday, maybe after feeling overwhelmed or fighting a powerful foe… just let it go."
"Let it go?" The bowl in Vlad's hands nearly fell to the floor, but as swiftly as it slipped, his fingers tightened it up.
"Yeah, you know, just let the danger hit you… let it crush you, give up."
"Give up?"
Alucard sighed, "Believe it or not, you will remember everything. From my memories to these very actions, they will be as clear as a mirror. So just know that when you gain the feeling of hopelessness, or when loneliness seems to crush you, let whatever you are dealing with smash you to bits. And once that happens, only then will the feeling of death offer its embrace."
The young Vlad yawned. "Death?"
"Yes." And Alucard laughed when Vlad jolted, nearly falling because of the sleep. "But you can only do it once."
Alucard took a bite from the drumstick.
"And once you do it, it will never happen again. So when the day comes, don't fight. Just… let him follow."

{ELSEWHERE}
Esme's legs stepped deeper on the pedal, with Carlisle fully focused on stopping Bella's bleeding in the back seat.
"Esme, focus!" Carlisle said, noting the shift in Esme's expression the more Bella's blood poured out.
"Sorry."
The car jumped a hill, and both Carlisle and Bella jolted uncontrollably.
"Sorry," she said again, speeding up.
Then, after some minutes, they arrived.
Carlisle grabbed Bella and dashed to the house, reaching the bedroom in seconds, then placing her on the bed and grabbing the first aid kit, which was placed atop the nightstand.
Esme zoomed behind him, hands holding white bandages.
"How is she?"
"Her bone nearly cut one of her veins." Carlisle poured some alcohol onto the wound, and moans escaped from her unconscious lips.
Esme's eyes lingered on Bella's injury for a moment too long; he noticed.
"Go drink some blood."
Esme threw the bandages toward him, then dashed out, leaving Carlisle to tend to it.
Bella moaned in unconscious agony under his touch, sweat dropping from her forehead the moment her hand was lifted.
Then she jolted awake, her eyes widening, screams escaping her after the pain took over.
"Calm down, Isabella." Carlisle took the bandage, then put it in her mouth, pressing harder on the bone and rearranging it in that instant.

{ELSEWHERE}
Sam's eyes drifted to Leah, who was lying on the ground, wounded and covered in blood. And on the side, not too far from her, was the headless body of Vlad.
He growled when his eyes turned to Jacob, who was being held in a headlock by Emmett, with Jasper continually slamming his ribs.
So he dashed, with the other wolves spreading behind him, immediately grabbing Jasper by his other hand, trying with all his strength to throw him to another side.
But Jasper turned, his other hand clinching into a fist, and punched Sam right on his skull. And just as he was about to throw another, a second wolf appeared from beside them, grabbing his only free arm, then throwing him upward, while another jumped from afar, slamming against him with its body and sending him flying 20 feet toward the forest.
Leah stood up, her shifted body broken in ruins.
But then her eyes landed on something else, something her madness had caused her to overlook.
They landed on Vlad, or in some way, what remained of him.
Then slowly, they shifted to the person beside him, who was kneeling, with her hands covered with his blood, body lowered, her face skin to skin with his.
"Please." The voice was a whisper, far from most to acknowledge. "Please come back."
Leah's whole body trembled, her figure slowly shifting back, changing from a large dog and twisting into something human.
Then, as sudden as a click, Alice's head turned toward her, eyes looking dead straight at her naked figure.
But right before she could stand, right before Alice could even think of an attack…
The air shifted, with the atmosphere rising into red clouds of mist.
Everyone, including those who were too far to notice, felt it.
The head, which had separated from Vlad, unnaturally twisted and turned to dust. And Vlad's body, which was lying headless on the ground, vanished and turned to mist.
Then there it was, turning whole, the mist of head and body floating and coming together in rearrangement. Yet still, it continually grew larger.
It took a minute or a second too long, but when it was done, he had finished.
He didn't smell the same, he didn't look the same, nor did he resemble him in the slightest.
Vlad had turned into something else, something foul and sinister.
He had become Alucard.
