Well, two reviews already!? Two favorites, and one alert? You guys make me feel special.

And not the short bus special kind of special.

--Not the Fight Scene—

Dashing through the deserted streets, the small girl rounded a corner, only to come face to face with a hoard of ghouls. She skidded to a stop for only a moment, before launching off the wall and leaping onto the face of an unsuspecting ghoul, and running overhead of the crowd of ghouls, all of which tried and failed to catch the agile child.

"Sister, sister, sister…" she mumbled to herself, wondering where her new kin could be.

--The Fight Scene—

Holy steel met bullets of blessed silver and only Walter knew what else. Alucard laughed, several bayonets lodged in odd places throughout his body. Alucard fired off several rounds into Anderson's head, who collapsed momentarily, giving him just enough time to reload and launch himself at the Priest, his fangs bared…

--Doblin Hill- Outskirts of Duin—

Seras watched the battle unfold before her. Her Master and Anderson were quite the sight to see. Turing her attention back to the cities, she could see large hoards of ghouls heading in the same direction.

Wait, the same direction?

She brought the scope under her eye again. She didn't really need it, but she liked to use it; it gave her a sense of normality. She squinted, her natural reactions taking over. They were chasing someone! A survivor? Yes! Small, fast… a child! Seras got up from her sniping position, she had to help.

Her maternal instincts kicked in, and Seras raced into the town, looking for the large masses of ghouls, which weren't exactly hard to find. She pulled out her large Harkonnen, loading the napalm rounds and firing at the ghouls, which quickly lost interest in the small figure, heading for her, instead.

--Back to the Small Chilin'z—

She had lost interest in finding her sister-kin for the moment, fixated instead upon the odd scent of what was almost a vampire.



Almost.

Something, albeit she wasn't sure what it was, was wrong. The two of them, she could smell, didn't smell right. She sniffed more, entering a rather unstable looking building, but paused, hearing the voices distantly above. One male, one female, she climbed the stairs silently, unaware of what her Master now did.

Reaching the top of the stairs, she hid badly, only half concealing herself. These two were wrong, all wrong. They needed to go.

Permanently.

"But Jonny, what will we do? Fae, Keith, and Cole are dead! How are we going to escape with out being killed?" The young woman clung to her partner's arm desperately, like some sort of life-line.

"Don't worry Lu, we'll be fine. We can move out somewhere they won't find us, like in the country, lay low for a bit. Then we can do whatever we like, yeah?" The couple looked to be no older than twenty-five or so, but the large portions of blood covering them made it harder to tell. She watched as the two continued to banter, unsure of their future safety.

The fools hadn't even noticed her. She let out a silent breath that she didn't even need. The undead girl stopped for a moment, concentrating. She blinked a few times, and forced her eyes open longer than normal. Quickly, she blinked, feeling the fluid rush to her dry eyes, overcompensating and making it look like she was on the verge of tears.

Good. She let out a muffled sniff, staring at the ground for a few seconds. Nothing. She looked up, only to see the two had made up, and were kissing passionately. Bleck. Trying again, she made a loud sniff that was clearly audible. The two looked up, she was sure.

"Jonny, what was that?" The girl whispered.

"Look," he whispered back, neither of them being entirely too stealthy. The undead child was a careful player, for sure. Looking up slowly, she locked her eyes with the two of them, one at a time. Lingering on the woman's lastly. Her hand snaked up to the side of the drywall next to her, as she let out another sniff.

"Awww… she's one of us, Jonny," the girl dropped her guard completely, heading over to the half-hidden girl, and picked her up, propping her up on her hip carefully. The girl looked carefully at the older woman, widening her eyes until she felt they might very well fall from her skull. She watched as the woman's heart seemed to melt before her. Lu picked her up again, adjusting her to hold her with one arm, so that the child rested on her shoulder and neck.

Her vulnerable, disgusting neck.

"Can we keep her, Jonny?" Lu asked, a smile on her face. Jonny, however, appeared much less impressed with the little girl.



"I don't know, what's with you, anyway? You never liked kids. Besides, how did that kid get here?" He studied the girl carefully as she snuggled closer to her neck. "Kid, where are your parents?" She looked up, widened her eyes again.

"Parents?" She tilted her head to the side. "I don't have parents." She brightened, hell only knew how she hated this. "Why don't you be my parents!" She leaned back far, seemingly uncaring for her own well-being, and starred at Lu, a carefree smile on her face. "Mommy!" She called, repressing a cringe as the red-head melted easily before her eyes.

Pathetic.

Again, she leaned over toward the male, Jonny,"Daddy!" She exclaimed. And saw him crack.

"Fine, we'll bring her with," Lu smiled as the undead girl in her arms clapped childishly and snuggled back into the crook in her neck, wrapping her arms tightly around them.

"Mommy…" she whispered one last time.

"Hmm?" Lu answered thinking she was calling her.

"I love you," the small child whispered, unable to see Lu's eyes crease at the odd tone. Before she could utter a word, the girl bit into her neck, and tore into it with vicious gusto. Lu let out a scream, and let go of her adopted ward, puling on her as she fed on her neck.

"Lulu!" Jonny pulled out his machine gun and fired at the small target. No matter, and girl didn't even seem to notice, and instead, pulled out a stake hidden in her boot and stabbed the woman in her heart, landing like a corpse as her body turned to dust. She got up slowly as Jonny emptied a clip into her, and leaped at his face, knocking him down as he turned to flee. The child smiled pleasantly, plunging her small hand into his spinal cord, paralyzing him.

"… I love you, Daddy…" she whispered into his ear, before pushing the single bullet she had taken from Alucard into his brain case. She smiled, a deranged smile that would send shivers up anyone else's spine.

No child should possess that kind of look. That look of a recently satisfied craving for bloodthirsty insanity.

But she was no child.

--And that's All, Folks!—

Sorry, it's short.



No real comment, just two things to tell you:

The title "Harvest Moon" has no relation to the game, and…

Reviews shall be met with more chapters. Remembers, you guys are my crack.
