[The wolf has no idea why a giant monster would be what's there, but at least Sypha's got the right of it. Alucard continues to stand watch at the door, stiff and prim and just wanting to leave already, because this isn't safe. They aren't safe. This is the castle's heart, and to escape is going to be a true nightmare. All paths that lead to this place have windowless rooms, and now? Now they shall be ambushed on all sides by vampires.
He's justified in his terror when Dracula himself appears, and for a split second in the madness, Dracula's eyes meet those of his son. In that moment, the awful gravity of the situation truly smacks Alucard, and he knows how deeply awful this situation is. He is betraying everything for the sake of the world. That fact must now be armor against the emotional turmoil of it.
There's one path that has a small escape route. Alucard enters the engine room, letting out a short, sharp howl to draw the attention of the other two to the smallest of doors, hidden away in an alcove. Sypha won't leave Trevor behind, and if she's smart, her magic will be a merchant for time, letting Trevor withdraw and---
--the gears.
Alucard is no longer a wolf. He is a man. He is a man running to save a Belmont from being crushed by Dracula's castle.
No God or Devil is going to help him at this point.]
