"Let me introduce you to my daughter, Janelle Dracul." Dracula said holding his newborn child in his arms. The child looked no more than a month old, with a small patch of inky black hair, and dull red eyes. The baby stared at Mephisto with wonder, and Mephisto couldn't help but cooing at her.
"She is adorable isn't she?" A female voice said behind Dracula. Both men turned towards the woman. She had long brown hair, and dull red eyes like her child's, but they held tiredness in them. From the constant monitoring of her child.
"Hello Lucienda. You look like shit." Mephisto said grinning maniacally at the small slip of a woman.
"Well hello to you too Mephisto", Lucienda said chuckling. She walked over and gave the purple haired demon a hug. "You need to come here more often. I have missed our constant bickering."
"My love, you should lay down. You need to rest." Dracula spoke concerned over his mates health. His bright red eyes stared at Lucienda worried.
Lucienda merely waved her hand at him dismissing the suggestion. "Oh nonsense. I am not dying, merely tired. Rest can wait until later, I want to see an old friend."
Mephisto chuckled at the two's antics. "I see parenthood hasn't changed you."
"Oh but it has. I never thought I would be able to love someone so much that everything would be meaningless without them. But my little Janelle has taught me how wrong I was. Because of her, I have begun to see everything in a whole new light. You know I catch myself staring at the sky wondering, how many times have I killed without so much as a thought? How many of those people had husbands, wives, children? How many families have I destroyed in my narrowed minded way of living? And now I can't help but wonder... Do I deserve so much happiness after so much destruction?" As Lucienda began to speak, she sat down at the chair in front of the fire. Her eyes became distant, like she was reliving her past in her mind.
"It isn't good to think of things like that. Because asking questions that have no answers will only lead to hurt. Also if anyone needs to be asking those questions, it isn't you, but your mate, Dracula. He has caused far more destruction then you." Mephisto chastised Lucienda with a tut tut.
"Yes I have caused a lot of pain and i will probably cause more. I am not human, and I do not have humanity. But i do see what Lucienda is saying. Instead of asking those questions though, I see Janelle as my second chance, my redemption." Dracula said as he slowly rocked Janelle back and forth.
"See you should see things like my uncle." Mephisto said ruffling Luciendas hair.
"Hey! I am not a child anymore!" Lucienda yelled indignantly.
Mephisto merely chuckled, " you will always be a child to me. Now can I hold Janelle?"
"Sure" she muttered. Dracula slowly handed lO little girl to Mephisto. Looking down at the baby, Mephisto began to see parts of her future. The first thing he saw was how she was going to look. She had long flowing black hair, doe eyed dull red eyes, that held a certain kind of innocent mischievousness to them, soft, flawless, porcelain skin. She had a small frame and noticeable curves. In all honesty Janelle looked stunning.
"Janelle will look beautiful when she is older." Mephisto said to the parents.
" You can see? Tell me." Lucienda said anxiously. But Mephisto ignored her as the next vision came. It was an older Janelle, but for some reason she was holding her neck, and blood was seeping through her fingers. One of her hands moved away, and Mephisto saw the carving of vines wrapping around her neck, and the name 'Hellsing' engraved. Then the image changed again. It was Janelle and a man rapped in a lovers embrace. Mephisto focused on the man trying to discern what he looks like. But all he could see was the mans back. Then a purple tail with a yellow flicked into the image. Realisation set in as the mans face turned. Mephisto was staring at himself. The image changed once again. It was an image of Janelle giving birth. An image of himself sat beside her, holding her hand.
As the images faded away, Mephisto was left with a feeling of shock and surprised joy. After living for so long he finally found his other half.
"So what did you see?" Dracula asked.
"As you know time is not something that is definite, so her future can change. Because, of this I never see a lot. But what I do see is definite. You understand?" Even though the two already knew about this, Mephisto felt compelled to explain it again. Especially after what he saw. As both parents nodded. Mephisto began, "I saw how she will look when she is older. She will be a rare beauty and hold a sense of innocence and mischief. I also saw she will go through pain-which i can not explain- she will also find l love and start a family of her own." Mephisto withheld the involvement of Hellsing in on of his images.
"Did you see the man she will mate with?" Lucienda asked.
"...No, his face was to blurry." He couldn't explain to them that he would be their baby's future mate. It just didn't seem right. He looked down at the sleeping girl in his arms, and smiled; at true smile.
