[A week goes by. Observing the estate where the stone resides through the viewing mirror gives precious few clues. Whoever is responsible is a vampire. That's the only thing that can be certain, as come nightfall there are shadows visible through the curtains, and sometimes the screams of those who are about to become food instead of respected guests. (Alucard cuts off the viewing mirror the minute he hears them.)
But that is the only thing they have. Exploring the estate leads to more notebooks, which have now piled up in the part of the kitchen that is now the research corner (they could move into the servants' quarters, but none of them have.) Sypha has found enough old research to begin to develop new spells, and hidden away in that bedroom has been one journal of Leon's that never quite made it to the Hold. It's all the beginning signs of turning, and notes on the first horrible attempt to engage the vampire responsible for it.
Alucard's read it once, and only for one reason: to figure out how far the location of Walter's own home was, and how far it is from the estate.
If we fail in this, then we should know how to fight him.
Which was why he and Trevor were walking through the forest now, March closing and a few precious spring flowers under foot. Sypha's spell development was in a whirlwind, which meant not coming along. Alucard didn't like it, but they'd need those spells in the future. Better she do that.

The forest is too quiet. He hates it.]
