Alucard Tepes

The last thing you had expected that night was to be stumbling through the forest, your shoulder heavily bleeding and your ankle numb. Once moment, you were exploring the forest with a friend, and the next, you were running from a night creature after your friend had practically left you for dead.
You wove through the trees, the adrenaline numbing the pain, but unable to stop the limping. You could hear the creature hot on your tail, it's heavy breathing sounding hungry. Right now, your best chance was to keep weaving through the trees.
Then a root caught your foot, causing you to cry out in pain as you tumbled to the ground. You tried to scramble away, but the creature was right there, bearing its sharp canines, ready to tear you apart and eat you... But death never came. Rather, you heard the pained howling of the creature and you saw a flash of black and gold. And suddenly there was a man before you, skewering the creature through its neck as if merely killing a fish he had caught.
Alucard clicked his tongue, pulling his sword from the creature's body, wiping its blood off with his cloak. He turned, peering over his shoulder at you, his golden gaze scrutinizing. Alucard didn't want to help, didn't want to interact anymore... But he was better than that. "You know it's quite foolish to be out in the woods alone," he said blankly, a golden brow raising as he sheathed his sword. He leaned down, offering you a hand to help you stand, "Without a weapon, no less."
