[Dracula, she thinks nebulously as she listens to Trevor's explanation, is going to kill them for this, and when he tries she's not going to give a damn, because this is going to ensure that Alucard lives.]
I'm ready.
[She's not, on some level, if only because this is all new and foreign and dizzying, and it's hard to say she's ready for what's about to happen because this isn't the sort of thing that people are supposed to be able to be ready for. This isn't normal or natural. This is a crisis, and they're all just lucky that they happen to have present amid this crisis one of the few people in the world who was trained from birth to be ready for abnormal, unnatural things.
But this might hurt her. And Trevor, like Alucard, would sooner stake his own heart than hurt her.]
Don't hesitate.
[She keeps her eyes open, and tries to breathe steadily, and keeps her eyes on Trevor and not on the blade.]
