It's been a week since the recovery of the vampire queen's coffin, but nothing has happened. Every attempt to open it has been futile; crowbars snap, slug hammers crumble, cranks break, even the jaws of life submitted to the powerful enchantment guarding the tomb. This caused Integra great frustration and stress while it gave Alucard amusement and entertainment. "My wife was always funny when it came to locks. She knew her way around an impenetrable spell and a good lock." he stated fondly, remembering all the times she tried to lock him out of their bedroom when she was mad at him. This resulting in a full clip of bullets being unloaded in his face.

Alucard spent all his spare time trying to coax the tomb to open. Slowly the shield around the sarcophagus began to diminish till it was completely down. 'Master its down, now we can open it.' he sent the message and in ten minutes, Integra charged into the room with Walter and police girl in tow. They all gathered around it in silence as Alucard did the honor of opening the stubborn tomb. The marble slab hit the ground with a loud BANG!

He used shadows to lift the coffin from its stony shell and gently placed it on the flagstones next to it. The coffin itself was an ebony with gold accents running along its creases, forming a cross on top where the raised panels met. Along with the gold were etchings and designs craved all over the body of the structure in royal blue and faded into crimson red. The etchings and cravings depicted vines, spider lilies, snap dragons, and lilies; but the most prominent design were roses and their thorny vines. The whole design was done to be the roses were the main attraction and the other flowers were hidden and subtly hinted; but overall beautiful.

"She always did love flowers, roses were her favorite. Had them all over the place." Alucard commented softly, reminiscing as he stared at the craftsmanship he himself ordered for his bride. When he tried to reach out to trace the designs; a burst of light issued from the coffin, filling the entire room with white blinding light. After five seconds it receded to the two new figures in the room. The newcomers were two little girls around the age of ten and looked to be twins, but had the appearance of night and day. One had short black hair with ghostly pale skin and vermillion eyes. Her attire was a dress consisting of red, black, and white while the other girl was her sister's opposite with white hair, blue eyes, a dress of white, red and black. The only thing in their outfit they shared was the red ribbon in their hair and the black ballet flats on their feet.

Their most peculiar feature was the one white curved horn that sat on the opposite sides of the girls' heads. It gave the distinction of them being halves of a whole. They sat on the sides of the coffin, carrying tall black tridents; ready to defend it from anything.

'Ah, so she installed security. Smart girl 3 ' I thought as I gazed at the two new entities in the room that was currently silent due to shock. They looked familiar but I couldn't place why until a fragment surfaced from my memories.

~Maru and Mieka will protect it... ~

Jolted out of my thoughts, I looked closer at them and realized who they were. "Maru... Mieka." I stated, causing everyone including the twins as I took a step forward. They took a defensive stance before taking a look at me, causing both of their jaws to drop and stance slacken. After a minute of bewilderment; they came running until halting in front of me, looks of astonishment and joy on their faces. "Master, Master!" they shouted as they ran.

The light was blinding as it engulfed the whole room, causing us to shield our eyes and turn away. When it faded, it revealed a pair of what looked like twins around the age of ten. Their style was the opposite of each other as well as the placement of their single white horn. The only things that was identical were the tridents they carried and the incentive of protecting that box. "Maru... Mieka." Alucard suddenly said, taking a step forward; drawing both of their attention to him. 'What's going on?' I think as I watch the three watched each other; the twins' faces blank as they took a look at my servant.

After a few moments they ran over to him, yelling "Master, Master!" before stopping in front of him. 'What!?' I'm stunned silent as police girl voices my thought; "What!?" police girl shouts as the twins glomped him into a hug. They only reach to around his waist while mewling happily like kittens. "These are Maru and Mieka, they are entities or spirits that my wife enlisted to guard her coffin wherever it is. She was always cautious when it came to precious things." he said while petting their heads with a look a fondness.

Walter, Integra, and Seras were all stunned as they digested this new information and watched the scene in front of them. Many things were happening and changing since they found the tomb, mostly Alucard who's been going down memory lane. "Mistress said to stay with her when she's gone or until master comes back." Maru stated, looking up at the elder vampire from her vantage point around his waist. Mieka nodded in agreement while burying her face in his middle, almost in a catlike manner. "Can we just open the coffin already?" Sir Hellsing said, exasperated by the events of the day.

The twins stopped cuddling their master to look at the platinum-blonde woman before glancing back at each other. They held each others' gaze for a moment, silently communicating between each other before turning their heads to face the suited woman. "You can't, it won't open." Mieka stated, looking at the bespectacled woman with a blank look,almost trance-like. "And why not?" Seras asked, curiosity getting the best of her. "Mistress won't allow it." Mieka answered, with Maru following up "It'll only open at night, on a full moon."
