[Alucard knows he can't be around for whatever happens next. The shadows are growing long, and that is a cue.
For the dead travel fast he murmurs, and in the shadows there is a deeper darkness. Shadows are what allow for the quick movement of vampires when they need it most, and while there is a toll for moving through these shadows on Alucard (he is only half dead), it is still the quickest way to go.
The shadows don't close behind him either. Not immediately, it is the curse of vampire hearing that means he still bears witness to what goes on. He shifts Sypha in his arms so that if she stirs, she won't turn back and see what is done to her boyfriend.
Shadows begin to close behind him as the scent of burnt moths begin to fill the air. Alucard doesn't know if Leon has come from speaking with Dracula or if this is pre-emptive. He's terrified either way.]
