Monster, vampire, tyrant, all of those titles and here I am full of gun shot wounds bleeding out on the floor of my on home wondering if anyone besides Mother Miranda would mourn my passing (she always said I would join her angels if I ever did pass away). I quietly laughed at my self. How ironic for a strong and powerful woman such as myself to be murdered by a stupid man thing, but I’m getting ahead of myself. Let my tell you the untold tale of how I got into this mess. Let me tell you the tale of Alcina Dimitrescu.
The story begins way before the stupid man things, wait what was his name? I think it was Ethan Winters or something. The story beings way before Ethan Winters was even born. In 1957 I traced my family heritage back to this large castle in this tiny village in the middle of nowhere in Romania. I also found out that by birthright the castle was mine. So I set of to find the village. It took me a few weeks to get there but when I did I was greeted by Mother Miranda. She was the current leader of the village. She gave me a deal, she would give me castle that she had gained ownership of some how and partial power over the village if I joined this experiment of hers. I Honestly had nothing better to do and what was the worst that could happen, so I agreed to her deal. For the experiment she just inserted a syringe into my arm with this stuff in it called “Cadou” and then after that I just needed to sleep in her lab for the night. Little did I know how much this was going to change me. When I awoke I realized I had grew to be 9 feet tall over night! I was scared and confused and started screaming like some one had just stabbed me. Mother Miranda ran in and she looked overjoyed. Apparently I was the first test subject who did not die or turn into a lycan. I wish see told me this beforehand but that’s besides the point. The Cadou allowed me to have regenerative abilities that made it really hard for me to get hurt and it also allowed me to have retractable cat like claws and to transform into a dragon at will, but there was a catch. There is a blood disease that runs in my family and I was born with it. Because of my blood disease and the Cadou colliding into each other I needed to drink human blood to survive. Despite that Mother Miranda was still happy and I got the castle and also the privilege of being her first lord, soon followed by Donna Beneviento, Salvatore Moreau and Karl Heisenberg.
So now you are most likely wondering how do I get the blood I need to drink. Well when I moved into the castle I also found out that that my family ran a wine vineyard, when I found out about this I started it back up so I had a way of supporting myself. My castle also had a large staff of maids and occasionally when I maid would make a mistake that could hurt me or the other people in to castle I would kill them and make them in to a special batch of wine just for my self. One of the worst offenses that a maid could do is open up a window in winter. This is because of my daughters. After I settled into the castle Mother Miranda let me experiment some with Cadou and through these experiments my 3 daughters were born. My lovely Bela, Cassandra and Daniela. I love them with all my heart. Sadly temperatures under 50 degrees Fahrenheit can kill them (yeah the Cadou has weird side effects) and that is why opening a window can have suck harsh consequences.
For over 60 years me, Mother Miranda and the other 3 lords ruled over the village with little to no problems until Ethan Winters came along. If my that idiot Heisenberg actually did what he was supposed to Ethan would not be a problem. He would not have escaped and gotten into my home if Heisenberg just did what he was told for once in his life, but sadly there is no changing the past. As soon as Ethan walked in he was like a plague that destroyed any thing in his path. He was fast and good at hiding. Me and my daughters must have spent hours chasing him, but he would run away faster than I could chase him and the only sign that he was anywhere was the trail of broken vases and plates. After a few hours of not finding him I though he left so I went to my room to call Mother Miranda and tell her what was going on, I left my daughters down stairs because I knew how strong and good at fighting thy were, they also had the same ability to not be injured. Thought they would be safe, I have never been more wrong in my entire life. As soon as I was done making the call I heard Cassandra running up the stairs and throwing open the door to my room.
“SHES DEAD” Cassandra yelled in complete anguish . In her arms was Bela’s life less body. It felt as if time stopped for a moment when I saw them. No, no, no she cant be dead was the only thing I could think. I took Bela from Cassandra and cradled her in my arms. She was not breathing, her body was full of bullet wounds and she felt like she was freezing. The man thing had broken a window and then shot her. I began to cry and Cassandra wrapped her arms around me and cried as well.
“WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY DAUGHTERS” I screamed at the man who I now knew was still lurking my castle. He had just made this personal. I was no longer hunting for him just for Mother Miranda. I was hunting for him to make sure that my Bela got the justice she deserved. I finally told Cassandra to go find her other sister and then hide and then I got up to go on my hunt. I opened every door and chest in the castle until I finally found the room he was in. He was going through a drawer and putting valuable stuff he found in it in to his backpack. When he saw me he stopped what he was doing and pulled out his pistol and aimed it at me.
“Were is my daughter!?” He yelled at me. I was enraged he just asked me that question not even an hour after he had just killed one of my own daughters. I did not even know he had a daughter let alone were she is! In my anger I grabbed him and started throwing him into the floor.
“All this for a child that isn’t even here.” I said “You ungrateful, selfish wretch! You come into my house! You lay your filthy man hands on my daughters and now you even try to steal my property! How dare you!”. In my anger I accidentally shoved him so hard in to the floor that the floor broke and he fell into the basement.
“Rest while you can, because I will hunt you and I will break you!” I screamed down at him. I was mad he was a monster that killed my child. I started to walk down to the basement to go and find him again. When I finally did find him he was trying to pull down an old lever to a door so he could get out of the basement. I started to run up at him to pull his hand away from the lever but in my anger and grief as I was running my claws had came out and when I reached for his hand I ended up accidentally slicing his hand clean off. I stood back in shock of what I had done and in that time Ethan grabbed his hand pulled the lever with his other hand and started running. As soon as the shock wore off I started running after him but he had fit him self though a crack in the stone wall of the basement that there was no hope of me fitting though and was on his way to find another way out of the basement. I sighed and started walking back the way I came so I could get out of the basement and hunt for him more. As soon as I got to the top of the staircase out of the basement I heard screaming and gunshots and then a loud thud followed by silence. It was all coming from the library Daniela’s favorite hiding place. I felt sick to my stomach as I started to run to the library and through open the door to it. A freezing gust of wind passed by me when I opened the door. The window on the ceiling of the library had been broken (I’m assuming shot opened by the man thing) letting all the freezing air in. On the floor huddled together laid the bodies of Daniela and Cassandra. Cassandra had clearly been trying to protect her little sister but her efforts were futile. I walked over to them and fell to my knees and just held their bodies and cried. I had just lost all of my babies in the same days and barely had any time to mourn. I just need to cry for a few minutes. After a little bit I took a deep breath and pulled my self together and kissed their heads and told them I loved them. I would have to mourn later. I needed to fine Ethan Winters. I walked out of the library and down a few hallways and there he was standing in the living room and he looked up at me. We made eye contact for a few seconds and I looked into the eyes of that monster and it filled me with rage he had no remorse. I ran at him my claws out and he ran as well. He ran to the back exit that he had some how found a key for and unlocked it. He ran down the long bridge into the small building at the end of it and I followed him.
“YOU’VE RUINED EVERTHING” I screamed tears rolling down my face and then I felt I pain in my side. He had found the only thing that could weaken me. The Dagger of Death’s Flowers. The dagger made me start to mutate uncontrollably into my dragon like form. I picked up Ethen in my claws and a flew with him and through him on the roof of the castle. As soon as he hit the roof he pulled out his gun and started shooting at me it hurt but not as much as knowing my daughters are dead did.
“Looks like your outside matches your inside now, psycho witch!” He yelled mockingly at me. I ignored him. I was trying to find a way to fight. I always found this form to be awkward. A human trying to control a dragon body is a lot harder than it sounds. He ran inside a tiny storage area on the roof for some cover. I walked around the like area waiting for him to come out. He continued to fire at me.
“HOW DARE YOU TALK ABOUT SAVING YOUR DAUGHTER WHEN YOU’VE MURDERED MINE?!” I screamed starting to cry again. My tears made my vision blur. The bullets were really starting to hurt me at this point and I was losing a lot of blood. I was hurting physically and mentally. Only a few minutes later a was so weak I had to rest atop one of the pilers of the castle. Ethen took one last shot at me and then I collapsed on my self and that is were I am now bleeding out on top of my own castle. While a murderous monster is celebrating my defeat only a few 100 meter away from me. I feel the life slowly draining for me as I struggle to keep my eyes open just a like bit longer. Finally they shut and I started to enter the eternal sleep of death but right as I did I could of swore I heard my daughters cry out joyously.
“Mama’s here!”
