Good evening,

I'm so sorry for the long wait, but here is the next chapter. I hope you guys enjoy it.

Oxford Not Brogues

Eternally Yours

Chapter 9

Seras laid in her bed, waiting anxiously in the dark for all the girls to fall asleep so she could sneak out. She was fully clothed beneath the sheets she clutched desperately to her trembling body, right over her heaving chest. Her heart was racing and she had such a huge smile cracking her face. She just couldn't wait to meet up with Alucard and Sebastian in their secret garden. She shifted her head and her eyes flickered across the room impatiently. The small blonde didn't want to keep them waiting; otherwise they'll think that she stood them up. Not being able to wait another second, Seras threw the covers off of her and sprung to her feet. She didn't care if any of the girls were asleep or not! She wanted to be with her mates!

As quietly as she could, but also as quickly as possible, the little human went between tip-toeing and sprinting across the room. Each creak of the floorboard made her pause and look around cautiously before hopping or taking several more steps forward. Unknowing to her that all the creaking did manage to wake one little girl. Sofia cracked open her eyes a little and she groggily lifted her head to see Seras trying to sneak out of the room. The six year old yawned and sat up in bed to see if this was just her mind playing tricks on her or if Seras was actually there. The child looked back and laughed at the silly blonde who looked like she was doing a funny dance across the room.

She had always liked Seras, especially since the older girl was nice to her, unlike the other girls. The six year old looked up to and loved her, mainly because Sears reminded her of the older sister she used to have. The day she lost her family in a fire, Sofia changed drastically. She stopped speaking, she couldn't eat or sleep, she didn't play, and she gave up on school altogether. But that all changed when she met Seras a few months back. Their paths crossed when the six year old was being bullied in the hall and Seras intervened, and once she stepped in, so did the two dark haired boys to aid her. Since the three of them helped her, and Alucard beat the snot out of the bully, Sofia was no longer bullied.

Seras even encouraged her to keep going and not give up. The older girl wanted to see her exceed in school and go on to become something great. And with the need to please her new older sister, Sofia has been working hard not only in class, but on making friends and planning what she wanted to be. It wasn't until she made friends that she found out that nobody liked the small blonde and her two dark haired friends. Sofia didn't fully understand why. She knew that the three were a little strange and there was always a weird vibe she got when they were around. But she liked them just fine…even though Alucard and Sebastian scared her. Seras was real nice, and she supposed Alucard and Sebastian were too, even though those two probably wouldn't have even looked her way when being bullied if it wasn't for Seras. The child then smiled and jumped out of bed. She sprinted after the small blonde who snuck out of the room not too long ago.

The wind hit Seras as she ran across the back yard towards the old wooden fence. In the distance, just beyond that fence, she could hear the music from her CD playing, drawing her towards her mates. The small blonde pushed aside the loose board and stepped through to see her mates standing in the center, near the old stone bench with the old stereo, in the center of their wonderland. The little human paused to admire her mates with a beautiful smile on her face. They were finally alone without having to worry about that damn Sister. They were free to do as they pleased. She was ready tonight. She wanted to take their relationship further, to the next level. Alucard had a feral grin on his face while Sebastian smiled warmly. Both elder creatures looked their mate over from head to toe with hungry eyes. The electricity between the three of them was cut off when the dark haired males sensed another presence. Michaelis' smile fell and he narrowed his brown orbs on a small being behind Seras.

"You brought a guest?" Sebastian questioned and glanced back at the small blonde to give her a peculiar look. Seras arched a brow and swung around to see a smiling six year old.

"Sofia?!" Victoria exclaimed in surprise. "What…what are you doing here? Why are you out of bed?"

"What are you doing out of bed?" The six year old giggled as she leaned to the side to smile knowingly at Alucard and Sebastian. The small blonde stood up straighter with a bright blush on her cheeks.

"I…came out…to…talk to Alucard and Sebastian." Seras lied and then she cleared her throat, feeling uncomfortable. The elder girl then knelt in front of her young friend. "Sofie, why don't you go back inside? It's cold out tonight and I don't want you getting sick."

"You'll end up sick too." Sofie noted and then once more glanced at the dark haired males. "Unless Allycard and Sebastian warm you up with kisses." The six year old giggled, believing the older kids were out here to have their occasional make out sessions. The elder creatures' eyes widened, but they both grinned with arousal in their dark orbs. Alucard cackled menacingly while he took several steps forward until he was towering over the two girls.

"Don't worry, little Sofia, Michaelis and I will warm her right up." The elder vampire purred as he reached down, grabbed Seras by the arm, and pulled her to her feet. He then wrapped his arm around her lower back possessively and pulled her close so their hips were pressed together. Sebastian came up to stand beside her with a folded fuzzy blanket draped over one of his arms.

"And I did think about her well-being, Miss. Bernard, and brought her a blanket." The demon added with a smirk.

"Are you guys going to curl up and look at the stars?!" The child chirped.

"Well, perhaps after…" Alucard started jokingly, but was cut off when his bride covered his mouth with her hand.

"Yes, Sofie, that's exactly what we're going to do." Seras continued to lie to the child.

"Aw!" Sofia exclaimed. "That's so romantic! I don't care what other people say, I like how close the three of you are! It's cute! They're your best friends and you love them both, and that's okay!" Victoria smiled warmly at the six year old.

"That's sweet," Seras whispered and then sighed. "Now, why don't you head back inside before you get in trouble with one of the Sisters?" The child's smile then fell.

"Will…you be there soon, Seras? I like knowing you're there next to me while I sleep." She asked meekly.

"I'm…I'm not really sure, Sofia." The older girl decided to be honest with her younger friend. "Try and sleep, alright?" Sofia clucked her tongue and looked elsewhere in disappointment.

"Alright," The six year old murmured. "I…hope you guys have fun then." This caused Alucard to snicker. They were going to have more than fun. The child gave a small smile and waved to Seras goodbye before she slipped between the loose boards. Sebastian glanced out the corner of his eye to stare at his mate who watched after the six year old cautiously, almost like a mother watching her child.

"Do you wish to adopt her once we leave this place?" The demon asked her outright. Alucard's grin fell and he shifted his head to stare down at the small blonde in bewilderment. Was that how Seras truly felt towards that child? Was that why she was always protecting her from others? They only became more aware of her feelings towards Sofia the longer Seras remained silent on the matter.

"I," The little human started, but trailed off. "I…have thought about it. I love Sofia…and…I would adopt her in a heartbeat…but we can't do that to her. We can't take her away from humanity and introduce her to your guys' world. Besides, she's still so young. She still has a very high chance of getting adopted by a nice normal family. And I know she will be adopted because she's so pure and lovable. Every couple that will come in will fall in love with her, and there will be that one lucky couple that will take her home with them." This brought a smile to her face.

A rough looking red head stood outside near the Orphanage. He was surrounded by three other rough looking and dirty boys who were laughing and smoking. Scott's dark brown eyes were distant while he subconsciously took small drags from his cigarette and blew smoke from his nose. His friends had been sharing stories about girls they were apparently banging, which he wasn't too sure if the stories were true or not, but that didn't matter to him. Just the talk about them getting their way made him fume inside. Sure, he hooked up with one or two girls here, but they meant absolutely nothing to him. The one person who truly mattered to him was Seras, but all she cared about were those damn freaks.

It pained and infuriated him so much. When he was transferred here at the age of thirteen, he was admittedly nervous, but he hid that all behind anger and took that anger out on other children. But when Seras first met him, it's like she knew who he truly was. She knew how he truly felt, and, for once in life, he felt truly connected to someone. She had been so kind to him and they were good friends for a few weeks. And then, the small blonde caught him beating up a ten year old and she had just about knocked him to next week. Everything happened so fast. One minute they were friends and he was feeling such warmth and felt loved, and then the next his life was suddenly cold and lonesome.

After that day, he tried everything he could to win Seras back. He apologized, tried sweet talking her, made jokes, wrote notes to her in class (which earned him a black eye and a bloody nose from her freaks), and so much more. He had even been aggressive towards her on more than one occasion since he's seen the way Alucard and Sebastian had acted towards her and she seemed to like it. But no matter what he did, she just saw him as some disgusting creature. Hell, the boy even tried cleaning up his act and stopped bullying for an entire week, but she didn't even notice. It's been years as he watched her laugh and loved those freaks, hoping one day she'll wake up and see that she wanted him instead. It's been weeks since he's last tried talking to her and it's been months since he last assaulted her. But he swears, in the next few days, Seras was going to be his. He'll kill those bastards if he had to.

Scott broke away from his thoughts when he heard a noise from behind him. Curiously, the red headed boy turned to see a young child squeezing her way in between loose boards of the old wooden fence. He furrowed his brows and blew smoke out of his mouth before drawing his friends' attention.

"Oy," He exclaimed softly and felt as their eyes flickered on him. "Look what we have here, someone is up and out of bed at this time of night. I think she needs to learn a lesson, don't you?"

"That little twat is the reason that damn freak attacked me!" Roy cried out in fury. He glowered at the little girl with gritted teeth. Scott shifted his head to glance over his shoulder to stare openly at his friend's two black eyes. The redheaded boy sniggered and looked back to watch Sofia run seemingly happily towards the orphanage.

"Let's get the little bitch." Scott laughed and then the four teens chased after the six year old. The husky boys ran around the building and up the stairs to the back porch. The oblivious girl didn't even know they were there until one of the boys roughly threw open the screen door and they all came rushing in with giant grins on their faces. Sofia paused in the middle of the kitchen and gawked at the boys. Fear glistened in her green eyes, but she tried remaining calm. She wasn't too sure what the boys were planning even though two of them had bullied her before. "Grab her," The redhead ordered causing her eyes to fly open wide.

Just as she was turning and about to run, two of the boys, Vince and Gus, grabbed her tightly by her thin arms. The child was about to scream in fear and pain, but it all came out muffled when one of the boy's slammed his hand over her mouth to silence her. Sofia was then thrown down onto the floor and pinned back against the island to keep her restrained. Hot tears rolled down the girl's face and she struggled in their grasps, but she was too small and weak to fight off her bullies. Unable to do much of anything, she looked up at Scott and Roy who was knelt in front of her with sick grins on their faces and amusement shining in their dark eyes. The redhead twirled a lit cigarette between his fingers while he blew smoke into her face. In response, she shook her head, blinked, and closed her eyes when the smoke irritated them.

"What in the hell are you doing out of bed, twerp? Isn't it past your bedtime?" Scott asked as he took another drag from his cigarette. His grin then fell and he looked at her curiously while smoke escaped from his mouth. "And what were you doing behind that fence? What's there anywhere that's so important to you that you were out this late at night?" The hand that covered her mouth moved away, but only to grab her by the throat.

"A g-gar-garden," The six year old sobbed. Scott looked at her like she was stupid and he snickered.

"A garden?" He repeated. "You were out looking at fucking flowers? Bullshit!" Folded on top of the island was a towel. Scott swept it off and stuffed it into the child's mouth before he lifted her shirt so all injuries that were given were out of sight from teachers' eyes. The mad teen then put his cigarette out on her stomach. The skin burned and sizzled, causing Sofia to scream, cry, and struggle even more. Burnt flesh reached their nostrils, making one of them sick to his stomach. Gus' face became pale and he looked at his old friend like he was mad.

"What the hell, man?!" Gus shouted. "STOP IT!" Scott gave him a dark look, but obeyed. He pulled the cigarette away from the burnt flesh, allowing the girl to catch her bearings while he dissed the coward.

"Stop being a fucking pussy, man!" Scott growled.

"Yeah, she deserves it!" Roy agreed.

"For what?! She didn't do anything!" Gus argued.

"That is true," Vince noted with a shrug of his shoulders. "The ones you're really mad at are those freaks Scott's girl hangs out with." The coward of the group gave him a dirty look and shook his head.

"Seras is not even his girl!" Gus exclaimed causing Scott to grab him by the collar and shake him roughly.

"JUST SHUT UP!" The redhead snarled, silencing them all. To get his mind off of Seras, he looked back at the crying six year old. Scott grimaced before grabbing the girl tightly by her chin and then pulling the towel out of her mouth. "You'll be spared another burn if you tell the truth. What the hell is behind that fence? Do you have a little boyfriend? Are you both out there exploring each other's bodies? Spit it out, twerp! What the fuck is so fucking fascinating that you had to go see it so late at night?"

"It's a garden," Sofia cried harder. Scott gritted his teeth and his hand twitched, getting ready to burn her again, but she continued. "Seras, Allycard, and Sebastian hangout there," This piqued his interest.

"Their hangout?" He murmured. He knew they hung out somewhere because whenever the children went outside the three of them were never there. And then it clicked and his eyes widened in fury. Seras was there with them this late at night?! That could only mean one thing, they were fucking her! His grasp on Sofia's chin tightened, making her whimper and try shifting her head to escape his cruel grasp.

"Yeah, they hang out there and I went out to find her, but she wasn't there!" The child lied. She knew that she had done wrong by giving out this information. Seras would kill her if she ever found out that she told Scott that's where she went with Alucard and Sebastian. But she tried fixing her mistake by telling the bullies that they weren't there at the minute. Sofia didn't want to see Seras get hurt, although, she believes that Alucard and Sebastian would protect her at all cost. "I don't know where they went. I think to see a movie. Seras was saying something about wanting to see 'Scream'." She continued to lie to save her friend.

"Damn it," Scott hissed under his breath. The freaks and Seras were seeing a movie meaning he can't go and kill those fucking bastards for every kiss they gave to his girl. He didn't want to think about the other things they have done, but he looked on the bright side and told himself at least they weren't fucking this very minute. As far as he knew, Seras was still pure and her virginity was his.

"What's wrong, man? You know where they hang out now. Tomorrow, we can ambush them." Roy chirped with a bright smile.

"And maybe you can smack some fucking sense into that 'faithful' old girl of yours. Or just fuck the bitch already and get it out of your system." Gus grumbled with a roll of his eyes. With no hesitations and surprising everyone, Scott hauled off and backhanded him hard across the face. The teen landed on his side with a red welt mark on the side of his face and a busted lip.

"How about I go and slap some fucking sense into your fucking bitch?! Or how about I slap some fucking sense into you, you little bitch?!" The redhead yelled as he backhanded the boy again. "Don't you fucking dare talk about her again, Augustus, or I will fucking kill you! Do you get me?!" Spat flew out of his mouth and his eyes held nothing but anger and craziness while he pointed a bony finger at his fallen gang member. Gus cupped the side of his face and kept his eyes glued to the kitchen floor, too scared to flash that dark look at his leader.

"Yes," He hissed an answer. Scott's hand trembled and was a little red from his lashing out. He clenched his fist tightly and huffed while he tried calming back down. At the moment, he hated Gus with every fiber of his being. He wanted to beat the living shit out of him, but kept under control. No, instead he'll keep that anger locked up inside of him, let well and fester, and then unleash it all on Alucard and Sebastian. But he was going to need his friends to do this with him. He wanted all of them there to jump those two freaks and put an end to them for good. So for his own reasons, he held out a hand to Gus.

"You're right, man. All of our anger is really towards those freaks, not this twerp." Scott murmured. Augustus gave him a dark look before sighing through his nose and taking his friend's hand to be helped up. "We cool, man?" Knowing that if he argued or retorted in anyway, all three of them were going to gang up on him and probably kill him, he went with the right answer.

"We're cool," He muttered and lowered his head in a cowardly manner. Scott grinned and looked back at the little twerp who was still weeping. He leaned forward and once more grasped the child by her chin.

"You say anything to anybody and I'll do worse than burn you. I'll cut you. I'll cut you slowly and deeply. Do you understand me?" He breathed while he squeezed her face and pulled her face closer to emphasize his severity. Sofia nodded her head frantically in his hand while more tears welled up in her eyes and streamed down her face. "Say it, you little bitch!" He raised his voice and shook her. The six year old cried out and closed her eyes tightly.

"I won't! I promise I won't! I won't say anything to anyone! I promise! Please, just stop." She whined and sobbed.

"That's a good little girl," Scott sniggered. "Now, get the fuck out of here." He growled as he let her go. The child's heart raced in her chest as she jumped to her feet. But just as she was about to run for it, Roy swung a punch and his fist slammed right into her eye. Sofia flew backwards onto the cold kitchen floor hard. The wind was knocked right out of her and her eye pulsated painfully. The little girl cupped her hands over her eye and cried hard from the pain. Roy grinned and laughed in satisfaction.

"That's what you get for sicking those faggots on me, bitch." Roy exclaimed and laughed while he clapped his hands together. "If it happens again and I'll make sure both eyes match!" With that said, the four teens left the crying six year old lying in the kitchen.

The second after Seras gave her answer about adopting Sofia Alucard wrapped his arm around his little bride and dipped her. The grinning vampire looked his mate over with hungry filled red irises. He interlaced his fingers with her hand while his lips brushed along her warm flesh and collarbone.

"The way you act towards Sofia, I know one day you'll make a wonderful mother." The No Life King purred to his queen. This made Seras smile warmly at him.

"Thank you, Alucard." She whispered. The little human leaned up with a wide smile and kissed him on the mouth. Alucard chuckled and pulled his female closer so he could kiss her deeply. Her fingers twirled the ends of his hair while she pressed her thigh against the hard bulge in his pants. The elder vampire moaned out to her and grinded down on her leg so the pleasure ripped through him.

"Seras," He growled her name after he tore his mouth away from hers. His warm lips brushed over her jaw and down her throat to kiss her jugular heatedly. "I love you," The elder vampire breathed before he plunged his fangs into her hot throat. Seras closed her eyes tightly with a loud cry and she wrapped her arms tighter around his neck out of fear and arousal.

"Alucard," The little human panted while her chest heaved against his. "Th-that…that…feels…good," She whispered with a sexy little moan. And it felt even better when he started to purr and those pleasant vibrations traveled down her body straight to her sex. Alucard grinded down harder against her thigh and rotated his hips with a sharp thrust. It felt so fucking good. Each thrust and grind tore at his insides and wound his stomach tighter. He wrapped his arms even tighter around his girl and drank deeply, feeling as if he was getting drunk off of her blood. His fingers dug into her lower back, his dark locks of hair tickled her flesh, and his warm lips seared her skin like a hot flame. Sebastian found his way behind the little human. He wound an arm around her, just under her breasts. The demon preceded by unclasping one of her hands from around Alucard's neck and bringing it close to his face.

"Seras," Michaelis whispered. He brushed his lips lovingly over each finger and placed a kiss on her pinky finger before leading his lips down her palm. "Seras," He kissed her palm and then had her cup his cheek in her small soft hand. With a deep sigh, he rested his head against hers, burying half of his face in those golden locks that smelled strongly of strawberries mixed with her own fine scent. Comfort washed over him in great waves with every breath he took of that impossibly sweet, intoxicating scent of hers. Seras' hand moved under his to slip her fingers in his hair.

"Sebastian," She whimpered his name.

"Seras," He whispered and kissed her wrist. Sebastian gently grasped her hand in his and shifted his head to brush his mouth along that soft flesh. He could feel those warm veins pressing into his lips, just begging to be punctured. His lips parted around her wrist and, as gently as he could, he bit her. His fangs sliced through skin and pierced her awaiting veins. Seras' hand trembled and she tensed up beneath him while she gave another, but softer cry.

"Se-bastian," The small blonde moaned. A fire seared through Michaelis' veins, making him bend and moan, his flesh prickled with goosebumps, and his body became overly sensitive to the slightest of touches just from the mere taste of her. He could feel Victoria's hot succulent blood travel through his organs only to land and pool in his empty stomach. The demon's mouth watered and his fangs tingled like mad, wanting to be buried even deeper in her trembling wrist. Seras was utterly lost in a bliss of pleasure and pain, and was on the brink of passing out from the loss of blood she was rapidly donating to her seemingly starving lovers. When had they last eaten? Haven't they been taking care of themselves?

Her grasp on Alucard's neck slowly loosened until she became so weak that she couldn't even hold on any more and her arm fell limp to her side. Neither creature noticed since they both had a firm grasp on her and easily kept her propped up. They both knew, could sense, that she was becoming weak from blood loss, but neither of them could stop because hunger just completely took over their minds. But Alucard and Sebastian also knew that they would never put her, their mate, life into any serious harm. They knew a human's limit and when it was absolutely necessary for them to stop. Seras could take it for another minute or two, just long enough to get their fill and then the rest of the night was hers.

The elder vampire growled, moaned, and groaned against her throat as he continued grinding and thrusting against her thigh. The feeling of being able to rub his aching hard flesh through the material against her luscious little thigh felt fucking fantastic. He really wanted to be thrusting against her sex so she experienced the pleasure with him, but he couldn't in the position he was in. And he just couldn't stop grinding against her and didn't want to stop the flow of ecstasy that was washing over him. Alucard's serpent like tongue lapped at her warm flesh and teased the puncture marks. Seras' breathing was heavy in his ear, he could feel her heart pounding against his chest, and his beast stirred when he caught the scent of her arousal.

With one last sharp thrust, Alucard came hard in his pants. He clutched his girl to him as his body trembled from the delightful sensation and his overly sensitive head spurted and leaked with cum. The elder vampire pulled himself from her arched throat with his mouth and chin dripping with her fresh warm blood. He panted and moaned while his body slowly came down from its high.

"Seras," Alucard breathed her name and he stroked over her hair lovingly. "Seras," He panted and leaned over her to place bloody kisses all along the side of her face and her lips. His girl stared up at him with those sparkling blue orbs through lowered lashes. A small smile slowly graced those beautiful bloodstained lips.

"Alucard," She whispered his name, sounding and looking so very tired. Her face was a little pale and her skin was cold from the night air, and it didn't help any that he was as cold as the dead. Sebastian withdrew his fangs from her wrist and slowly looked her over from head to toe.

"Here," Michaelis whispered as he cupped her elbow and tried helping her towards the ground. "Sit down here and rest for a while." The small blonde obeyed. He aided her by gently lowering her to the ground where she became completely limp and fell back groggily to lean against the stone bench. Sebastian was knelt beside her as he threw the blanket around her and made sure every inch of visible skin was covered to warm her up. "I'll go fetch you some water and something to eat. That should help with the lightheadedness and get your strength back up. Try not to move, darling." The next second he was gone. But to Seras' surprise, he was back as quickly as he left. In one hand he held a cold bottle of water and in the other was a chocolate chip biscuit.

"Sebastian," The little human laughed. "Calm down, I'm alright." She shook her head at her over worried mate and smiled brightly at him. The demon gave her a hard look.

"You may feel fine right now, but in a few minutes you'll…" He had started, but was cut off.

"Like shit?" She finished which earned her another hard, disapproving look from him.

"I wasn't going to use those exact words." Sebastian sighed and silently wondered when she got such a mouth on her. "But yes," Alucard sat himself down on the mildew grass beside her.

"Michaelis is right," The elder vampire spoke up and then gestured his head towards the biscuit. "You'll feel better if you eat and drink something." Seras didn't continue to argue. She took the biscuit from Sebastian, but not to get her strength up, but because it looked damn good to her. She took a small bite from the delicious biscuit while she gave a curious and suspicious look towards Alucard and then Sebastian.

"When was the last time either of you had fed?" She asked them outright.

"A few weeks now," The elder vampire answered as his eyes drifted away from her stern looking ones. He didn't feel intimidated by his small mate, but that look did say that he was in trouble with her and that was never good.

"Seven years now for me." Sebastian muttered who also sat uncomfortably under his mate's gaze.

"What?!" Seras barked. "You both constantly fuss and worry about me not eating?! And here you two are starving yourselves?! Are you two mental?! Why haven't you guys eaten?! You're going to kill yourselves!"

"You don't need to worry about us so much, Seras." Alucard sighed, but still refused to meet her gaze. "Creatures of our kind can go a very long time without having to eat, and we won't die from starvation like humans do." Seras frowned at him and sighed through her nose in disappointment.

"Alucard," She whispered his name, sounding so very worried as if she was going to lose him at any second. "I have every right to worry." She paused for a second to see if he was listening. His eyes were glued to the ground, but she knew that he was listening to her. "I…may not be a vampire or a demon," She continued as she reached out to place a hand on top of one of his. "But…I was able to feel what you guys were feeling minutes ago. I could see it in your eyes, feel it as you both held me to your bodies, you were both starving." The air was silent around them for a long minute or two. "Tell me," She looked between Alucard and Sebastian, waiting for an answer, but they remained silent and unmoving with a distant look in their eyes. "Why have you been starving yourselves?" There was that silence again; an inevitable and painful tension that only seemed to bother the small blonde. She clutched Alucard's hand even tighter and leaned forward a little more to place a hand on Sebastian's thigh.

"Please, look at me." Seras begged of her mates. It took several long seconds, but the two elder creatures did finally look at her. The pain glistened in her gorgeous sapphire eyes along with it was concern and the deep need to protect and help them. "Please, tell me." She whispered. "Why have you guys been starving yourselves?"

"We just wanted to be as human as possible for you." Alucard answered softly. Seras gaped at them and even more pain glistened in her eyes. "I clearly have failed on several occasions in fear that I would lose control around you."

"No, no, no," The small blonde whispered while shaking her head. "This is…silly. I love you both very much, human or not, and I will always love you."

"Seras," Sebastian huffed as he gave her another hard look. "We kill to satisfy our hunger." The little human stared at him for a long while before she sighed deeply.

"I know," She whispered.

"You can love us; lay with us, knowing that we are killers?" The demon asked her outright. "You're not little anymore, Seras. We can't go on pretending that everything in our little world is perfect. Once we leave this place, everything will become so much more complicated. You need to know who we truly are before you take us on as your mates."

"Don't treat me like I'm five, Sebastian!" Seras raised her voice. "You don't think I've gone over this dozens, hundreds, of times in my head? Well, I have," She paused for a moment to catch her bearings and her eyes became distant. "I've stayed up so many nights thinking it over and over and over again. I've talked to you both multiple times about your pasts. I've researched vampires, demons, and every book I can find about Alucard. I've also seen what you guys truly are and capable of the night I lost my parents. I know what you guys have to do in order to get your fill. I'm not stupid so don't treat me like I am."

The elder creatures stared at their little mate impassively. They didn't mean to treat her like she was stupid or a child. It's just that, she always acted like everything was perfect, that they were perfect. They wanted to grant her every wish, be human with her and grow old together, but that wasn't reality. And they needed her to know that things will most likely change once they were gone from that place.

"I know everything," Seras continued on in a hush voice. "I know that you guys kill…not just to eat, but because it's fun. I don't understand it," She was honest. "But I know what you guys do, what you are, and I still love you both."

"Why?" Alucard was speaking before he even knew it. Seras just stared at the ground while she shrugged her shoulders and shook her head.

"You've both been with me for so long. I…can't remember a time when you guys weren't in my life." The small blonde muttered mainly to herself. "Even when I was little…I could…sense that there was something off about you guys. But…I didn't care. I still don't care." She laughed softly with a small smile on her face. "You're my best friends, always have been and always will be. And now…we're so much more." The more she talked about it, the wider her smile became. "Everything you guys have ever done, every look and smile you gave me, every touch and word…made me love you two. Each and every time I think about one or both of you, my stomach coils, my mind races, and my heart beats for you guys. I love you guys so damn much." Suddenly their mate burst into laughter causing the dark haired males to give her a peculiar, but concerned look.

"Maybe we're so well connected because I'm just as twisted as you two are?" Seras questioned and then finally looked back at her mates. "I don't know, but I'm madly in love with you both." Sebastian then scooted closer towards his bride and wrapped an arm around her shoulders so he could hold her close to him. Seras curled up in the crook of his arm and took comfort when he rested his head against hers. His soft locks of hair caressed and tickled the side of her face. "Will you guys promise me that you'll stop starving yourselves and find something to eat soon?" She asked of them. Alucard smiled warmly at his girl before he shifted so he was sitting beside her. He interlaced their fingers and with a peaceful sigh, he rested his head back against the stone bench and stared up at the stars.

"We'll feed," Her king promised.

"Tomorrow, perhaps before class, we'll go out and feed." Sebastian murmured as he also just stared off into the starry sky with his beloved by his side. "Now, hush, darling, and eat. You need to boost your strength." Seras just smiled and went back to eating her biscuit quietly. The brilliant stars reflected in her big blue eyes. Wonderment and awe shone so brightly in her orbs while she admired the sky. The girl was purely happy in that one moment. She was snuggled up between her mates while they stargazed and dreamt of their future. The silence was broken by one of them.

"Alucard," Seras whispered.

"Yes?" The elder vampire purred, but didn't bother to look at her.

"In order to become a vampire, you have to be a virgin of the opposite sex, right?" She muttered while she continued to stare up at the beautiful diamond sky. A feral grin appeared on the No Life King's face and he gave a single nod of his head.

"Which you are," He responded. Alucard then finally turned his head to gaze down at his small mate who didn't look frightened at all. Was she ready to join them? His grin widened even further until his sharp incisors were gleaming proudly in the moonlight.

"I know," She snickered and then glanced up at him. "But I'm actually talking about you." His grin instantly faltered and his brows furrowed in confusion.

"Me?" He questioned softly.

"Well," Seras continued while she looked back up at the stars. "You were married twice, had a child or two, and were forty-five when you died. You were far from being a virgin, and yet, you're a vampire. How?"

"I sold my soul and made a deal with the devil." Alucard murmured. The little human's smile fell and she glanced back up at him from the corner of her eye. "Before I had died, I had lapped up the blood from my fallen soldiers. And when I woke…I was this." The pain was so clear in his eyes, but he ended up smiling warmly at his little bride. "Why do you ask?" He snickered while he raised a hand to comb his fingers through her hair.

"Why else do you think she would ask?" Sebastian spoke up with a smirk and a knowing look in his eyes. Seras bashfully lowered her head with a bright blush on her cheeks. "Our anxious little bride wants to be deflowered." The demon purred while his fingertips caressed up and down her arm intimately.

"Oh," Alucard drawled with another wide grin on his face. "Then why not just become a vampire now and then we can go at it like bunnies?" He whispered as he leaned down to place a kiss on the corner of her mouth. Seras frowned as she became uncomfortable with the situation. How was it they could read her like a book, but still didn't understand that she was afraid?

"You know that I'm not ready for that." She whispered. As the words processed in their heads, the elder creatures' grins vanished.

"But yet you wish to fuck and become impure?" Alucard noted, trying not to sound angry, but was failing. "I don't understand you, Seras. You claim to love us, to want to be with us, and that you want to fuck until your heart is content, but yet, you want to remain human where you're vulnerable to diseases and death? Tell us now, before we go any further into this, are you going to remain and die a human?"

"Alucard," Seras whispered his name, looking and sounding so lost. "I…For now, I would like to remain human. I…know it's selfish of me…but…I want to grow older. I don't want to be frozen in time, looking sixteen forever. I just…want to…grow old with you guys." The elder creatures were silent for a long minute while they studied their melancholy mate. After a while, Alucard sighed, hung his head, and closed his eyes.

"It's not selfish of you at all to wish that, Seras." The elder vampire spoke softly to her. "Since I was once human, I understand the need you have to grow and develop. I want nothing more, but to be human with you, to grow old with you, and die alongside you, my beloved."

"So, if you're not going to become a vampire and you want to have intercourse with us, then what are we going to do?" Sebastian asked. Alucard's red orbs flickered over her head to stare quizzically at the demon.

"Do you think it will work if she sold her soul to the devil later down the road?" The elder vampire asked.

"Technically, she already did." Sebastian murmured with a small chuckle.

"Huh?!" Seras exclaimed and shot her head to the side to stare up at him in bewilderment.

"One of your mates is the prince of Hell, Seras." The elder vampire responded. The small blonde swung her head around to stare at Alucard and then back again to gap at Sebastian.

"The prince of Hell?" She repeated, completely shocked by this. "But isn't Satan," She was instantly cut off.

"The king of it all," The demon corrected her. He then glanced at the No Life King. "Yes, I suppose if that's truly what she wanted, I could transform her into a vampire when it comes time."

"So…since we're mates…and I've devoted my life to you…I already…had sold my soul to you?" Seras murmured.

"You don't have to look at it in that way." Sebastian chuckled with a smirk. "Our souls are meant to be connected. So, my soul belongs to you as much as yours belongs to me."

"So, when it comes time, you can turn me into a vampire…even if I'm impure, like Alucard?" She asked in a whisper.

"Yes, but blood will have to be involved." The demon informed her with a nod of his head. The girl didn't acknowledge that part. Instead she quietly lowered her head while a dark blush invaded her cheeks.

"Which…means in the meantime, we can…have sex?" Seras murmured, but the elder creatures heard it loud and clear. Both males burst into laughter at their innocent, but libidinous mate.

"That is still a very complicated situation you're putting us into, Seras." Sebastian said through chuckles. "Besides, it is your first time and I'm not going to allow you to be out here naked and cold on the hard wet ground."

"We have a blanket." The small blonde noted and held up the blanket to prove her point. The demon's smirk widened as he stroked her neck gingerly with his fingertips.

"Wouldn't you prefer being in a warm soft bed when one of us takes your virginity?" Michaelis asked her with his brows drawn together and his gorgeous eyes pulling her into some kind of trance. Seras swallowed nervously as her eyes trailed from his brown orbs to his soft lips that were still pulled back into a devious smirk.

"Yes," She answered softly. "But…how is sex more complicated now?" She asked after she managed to pull herself from that trance.

"Really, Seras?" Alucard questioned her. "Do you know anything about sex?" The little human furrowed her brows and glanced back over at the elder vampire.

"I…know…things about sex." She whispered in confusion, sounding so unsure.

"Then tell me what happens if we had unprotected sex this very minute." He ordered her with a huge grin on his face. This made her all the more confused.

"You guys don't have STD's, do you?" She asked in embarrassment. Alucard stared at her for a long few seconds and then glanced over at Sebastian to stare at him for another long few seconds. The two couldn't believe what she had just asked them. He then looked back at her and shrugged his shoulder, looking almost impressed, but still dumbfounded.

"Not a bad answer, but most certainly the wrong one." He replied.

"Vampires and demons don't carry diseases, Seras." Sebastian told her.

"Werewolves can," Alucard added.

"Werewolves?" Seras repeated with wide eyes. "They exist?"

"Never mind that," The elder vampire chuckled with a wave of his hand. "The answer I was looking for was pregnancy." The girl's eyes became even wider.

"Oh," She drawled. How in the hell could she forget pregnancy?!

"You see, if you became a vampire, we wouldn't have to worry about protection because a female vampire isn't able to get pregnant until she's at least fifty. And even then she would have to be in heat. But since you wish to remain human, and your bodies are a little different from ours, we could easily get you pregnant which could be quite dangerous for a human." Alucard trailed off, looking deep in thought.

"Dangerous? How?" Seras asked. The elder vampire blinked several times before looking back at her.

"I'm not entirely sure. I don't know of any vampires that mated or impregnated any humans. So, I don't know the risks. But a demon can be quite dangerous." He continued on with his lecture and unintentionally scaring his mate.

"As you already know, a demon is much stronger than a human." Sebastian took over the lecture. "And a baby moves inside the mother. Well, one good kick and that foot could easily burst through her stomach."

"Without the right nutrients it will even burst from the amniotic sac and start eating whatever it can get to, which would be the mother's organs and blood." Alucard went on while he smoothed his hand out over her thigh subconsciously.

"In some cases, it would even claw its way out of the mother's stomach when it feels that it's ready." The demon added. Afterwards, the air around them was silent. Wondering why their mate was so quiet, they both glanced at her to see her face was a pale white and she looked like she was going to pass out…or be sick. "Seras?" Michaelis whispered while he cupped her forehead to check her temperature. When he was convinced that she wasn't sick he jumped to his next conclusion. "You had lost quite a bit of blood. You should eat something else perhaps."

"It's not the blood loss, Sebastian." Seras sighed. "I just…don't want to hear any more stories about demonic babies."

"But they are quite fascinating little creatures. It baffles me that you don't wish to hear more about them." Sebastian continued on. "Perhaps you'll be hooked if I told you how fast a demon develops in the womb, how it feeds off of and weakens the mother, and…" He was cut off when his mate pressed her lips firmly against his in order to shut him up. Seras reached up to fist his shirt while she kissed him deeply. The demon cupped the side of her face and closed his eyes as he fell into a trance like state. All thoughts were wiped away and he was just in the moment. Unfortunately, the small blonde pulled away and she rested her forehead against his warm lips.

"Stop talking," The little human panted softly. "You both managed to talk me out of sex, which I think was intentional, but whatever. We can still have fun, but in a different way." A sexy little smirk crept onto her face and she laughed under her breath. "Unless you guys don't want to, then just continue with the lecture." There was a long pause before Sebastian responded.

"As I was saying," He started back up. He was, of course, partially joking, but he honestly did want to finish this interesting subject. He just loved talking to and lecturing Seras about these incredible facts. He swore that she was the only person who actually listened to him whenever he went off like this. Again, she tried shutting him up, but differently this time. The small blonde reached down and cupped him. The male stiffened from the sudden contact and his eyes flew open wide. He was completely soft in her hand, but he gradually got harder and bigger the more she rubbed. Seras grinned at the way Sebastian sat so stiffly with a shocked expression on his face. He looked as if he was trying to fight moaning or showing any form of expression that might show he was enjoying it immensely.

The girl giggled just as she shifted her head to gaze up at Alucard. He watched with a hungry look in his eyes as his queen leaned up to press her lips against his. The elder vampire growled softly in approval and then devoured her sweet mouth. He took over and kissed his little mate deeply. Every moan and whimper that came from her made his cock throb painfully from arousal which caused him to kiss her even harder. Seras barely paid any mind when the demon placed her hand several inches from the bulge in his pants just so he could unhook them. There was not a second of hesitation as he took her hand into his and then forced her to wrap her fingers around his hard flesh. A hiss escaped Sebastian as he led her hand slowly down his cock and then back up. He moved her hand the exact way he liked it and tried teaching her how to do it. His thumb would press against hers to sweep over his dripping head, and then he would lead her hand back down his shaft in a circular motion.

Seras' entire face was a beat red. She was feeling every inch of him while she was being kissed deeply and hungrily by the vampire. Sebastian leaned down and pressed his lips against her throat heatedly with a sexy moan. The small blonde shuddered with a helpless whimper. Her stomach was doing somersaults, her heart was racing in her chest, and her sex quivered like mad. So much was going on that she felt overwhelmed by it all. Surprising her even further, the demon released her hand and reached under her blanket. Their girl jumped so high when Michaelis just about roughly unhooked her pants and welcomed himself into her pants and wet panties. Seras tore herself from Alucard's warm lips with a cry when Sebastian slipped two of his fingers inside of her tight channel and fingered her hard. It was painful, breathtakingly erotic, and incredible all at the same time. She panted hard, whimpered, and choked. A part of her wanted to stop him since it was uncomfortable being stretched for his fingers, but she allowed him to keep going because of all of the feelings that were ripping at her insides. It coiled her stomach tightly and made her toes curl.

She had absolutely no control over her own body. Her hand continued to tug at the demon's hard flesh, her other hand was fisting Alucard's shirt in a desperate attempt to hold on for dear life, and she kept writhing and trembling with pathetic moans that made her blush darken out of humiliation. The elder vampire grinned at the look on his bride's face. Her face was contorted into a look of pure ecstasy, her orbs sparkled beneath lowered lashes, and her face was red from arousal and embarrassment. Not to mention the way her body moved and all the little noises she made from the pleasure of it all.

With a deep chuckle, Alucard leaned down to kiss over her hot throat since she stopped kissing him on the mouth. Seras tilted back her head so her throat was arched up in offering to him. The elder vampire purred while he brushed his lips lovingly over her flesh. His dark crimson orbs glowed through lowered lashes, staring down at his little mate tenderly. One of his hands came up to stroke over her hair.

"Seras," He breathed her name. The small blonde closed her eyes tightly and fisted his shirt so tightly that her knuckles turned white.

"That feels…so…good." She grunted and moaned. Sebastian smirked against her neck and drove his fingers inside of her even deeper. A satisfying sounding moan escaped from their mate. A smile broke out across her lips and she laughed lightly. "It feels so much better than those damn tendrils."

"I bet it does, but that's because it's real unlike those wispy shadows." Alucard whispered in her ear with a toothy grin on his face. He kissed her earlobe and then those sinful, cold lips trailed down the side of her throat. Afterwards she felt her king casually slip his hand onto her thigh and slid it across towards the opening of her pants. "Tell me if my skin is too cold for you." He muttered and then squeezed his hand between Sebastian's hand and her lower stomach. He pressed his cold fingertips against her engorged clit, causing his bride to jolt upwards in surprise. She shuddered from his touch, but paid not mind to his cold skin. In fact, it seemed as if she was warming him up real fast because after a few seconds his skin was no longer cold to her. Alucard snickered under his breath when he felt her wet warmth along his fingers.

Damn, was she ever turned on for them. She was completely soaked! He wanted to gobble her up right then and there, but sadly, didn't. Instead, he rubbed over her sensitive pearl frantically, making her cry out and tremble even more for them. Seras glanced down from the corner of her eye to watch her hand caress over Sebastian's hard flesh. She panted and shook, but tried focusing on her hand alone. She swept her thumb gingerly over his weeping head before pressing down hard and rubbed over it to make it all the more sensitive. The demon hissed through gritted teeth. His incisors were long in his mouth and spooked his little bride when they glistened in the light of the moon. After several long seconds of teasing him, she wrapped her fingers around him securely and then pumped him fast.

Sebastian instantly took Seras' lips in a hard fiery kiss that seared them both. His hot mouth moved over hers fast and hungrily, like he just couldn't get enough of her. Their breaths mingled and they exchanged moans. It didn't take long for his tongue to find its way into her mouth. Their wet muscles tangled together in their own form of a tango. The taste of her mate was driving her absolutely mad and vice versa. The little human's breathing became harsh and her hips twitched upward in need. Her heart pounded in her ears and reverberated in her throat. Warm saliva dripped down her chin as their intense kiss only became more hungry and fierce.

Sebastian reached down blindingly fast to grab her other wrist in a bruising hold. His tight grasp pained her, but both beings were lost in a haze of pleasure together, although some part of her refused to release the elder vampire's shirt from her death grip. Michaelis' fingers moved intensively fast inside of her, making her cry and whimper with each hard thrust. Alucard was still rubbing her clit frantically, pushing her closer and closer to the edge. The demon's grasp on her increasingly got tighter until she was literally bending to his will. He only got more aggressive by leaning his large form more into her small one until he was practically on top of her and was consuming all of her: mouth and taste.

Sebastian started thrusting up into her hand as his stomach coiled and his balls tightened. Blood was drawn the second his black talons bit deeply into her wrist. The beads of dark red liquid slid gracefully down her flesh to drip off the side and be soaked up by her blouse. The demon groaned loudly in her mouth as cum spurt from his head. He continued thrusting up rapidly while she kept pumping him until he was fully sated. Sebastian slowly stopped kissing her and he lowered his hips back down to settle on the ground. When their lips parted an inch, he cracked open his eyes to gaze at her with gorgeous, but fierce looking blood red orbs. He stared at her intently as his fingers continued to drive deeply between her legs. She panted, each second her warm breath caressed his skin, and was unable to tear her gaze from his.

"Sebastian," His beautiful girl whimpered through pants. A smirk crept onto the demon's face, once more showing off those sharp fangs that had not too long ago punctured her veins. Seras tried to keep from writhing from their touch, but couldn't stop herself. She tried quieting herself, but every noise escaped her mouth without her even meaning to. Why was it so hard to control her body or even focus under these conditions? All thoughts were a jumbled mess, her feelings and sensations were soaring, and her entire body was searing with a flame that burned from the inside. And then it all let go. Her stomach stopped tightening and it felt like an electricity of pleasure shooting through her body when an orgasm crashed over her hard.

Seras closed her eyes tightly and arched up with her breasts thrust up into the air. She moaned and whimpered since they kept going even though how sensitive her flesh was. Once her body calmed back down everything stopped and it was quiet once more, besides her heavy breathing and racing heart. Alucard and Sebastian grinned in satisfaction from all of her reactions and getting her to come. They both slowly removed themselves from her wet warmth and gladly found their digits covered thickly with her juices. The demon sniggered while he brought those tasteful fingers to his mouth, but paused when he became aware of something. That smirk vanished faster than anything and his red orbs flickered sideways to see that he still had a very tight grasp of her. He eyed those blood beads that had trailed down her arm, her blood stained shirt, and, worst of all, the marks he was leaving on her: the bruised pricks from his nails and finger marks. Sebastian immediately released his bride with a sharp intake of breath.

"Seras! I'm sorry!" Michaelis exclaimed and his pain filled eyes flickered to her pale face. She was still trying to calm herself back down, but her bewildered blue orbs flickered to his face instantly.

"Wh-what?" She murmured unintelligently.

"The slightest bit of pressure and I could have snapped your wrist in half quite easily! I had foolishly lost control!" He growled out in frustration. His eyes flared darkly in fury and he drove his talons into the palm of his hands. Seras watched in fear as blood dripped from clenched fists and the way he trembled. She doesn't recall ever seeing him so angry. It startled and worried her. Her eyes flickered downwards to stare at her bruised, bleeding wrist. It hurt a lot, but she didn't care. What they had experienced together was incredible. She casually slipped her hand over the marks before glancing back at her upset mate. His head was lowered and he refused to look at her, actually believing that he wasn't worth even being in her very presence at the moment.

"Sebastian, I'm fine." She whispered and then gave him a small reassuring smile.

"You're so…damn fragile." He whispered. Seras pulled back her head in surprise and blinked stupidly at him. Was he…blaming her for being human and why he nearly broke her wrist? Sebastian clucked his tongue in annoyance and opened his eyes to take a sideways glance at her. "No, I'm the reason I nearly broke your wrist because I'm a monster."

"It's okay, Sebastian. I'm fine." She said a little more sternly. "And you're not a mon…"

"Then what would you call us?!" The demon raised his voice. He shifted his head to give her the darkest look she has ever seen from anyone. His teeth were gritted again and his shadow swirled and flared by him on the ground as he only grew angrier with himself. And without even thinking, he started taking that anger out on her because she was being so foolishly naïve, and yet, beautifully innocent. How could she love him…them?! "Stop living in a fantasy world, Seras! We're not humans or angels, our morality doesn't exist, and you certainly can't change us like you think you can!"

There was a long pause between them as Sebastian just stared at his other half, the love of his life, his mate. "We are monsters, my dear." He finished in a whisper. The pain welled back up in his eyes and he just couldn't look at her anymore. So, he turned his head away and instead stared glumly at the ground. Seras opened her mouth to argue with that statement, but never got the chance.

"He is not wrong, Seras." Alucard intervened. The small blonde snapped her head to the side to stare up at him with hurtful eyes. "We are the epitome of evil. We have been for hundreds of years. We have killed millions…and that number will continue to increase at an accelerating rate until the day we die which could be hundreds, thousands, maybe even millions of years from now. We are insane, blood quenching, homicidal/genocidal, unholy creatures of the night." The little human became unusually quiet after that. She sat there with an almost defeated look on her pale face. Her eyes were solemn and distant, like she was deep in her inner thoughts or feelings, but she wasn't. She was just trying to process all this information that she already knew about them. What did they want her to say? Hadn't they already gone over this earlier? Were they trying to scare her away or hate them? Why?

"We just want to know how you can love us after knowing all of this." Sebastian answered her private thoughts. "A normal woman wouldn't think twice about it. She would be running for the hills. Why do you stay?"

"I told you already, I love you guys more than anything in this world. Why is that so wrong of me?" Seras asked in disappointment with a shake of her head. She was tired of them dissecting her feelings and constantly questioning her love for them. It actually hurt more than anything. Each time they asked her why she loved them, it felt like they were just digging a knife into her heart, each time going a little bit deeper. The small blonde attempted to swallow the lump that was growing in her throat, but she just couldn't swallow that pain or the cry that wanted to escape. Tears pricked at her eyes, but she did her best to bury those feelings deep inside of her and just focus her gaze on the wet grass.

"It's not considered…mentally healthy for a woman to love someone like…us, especially knowing of what they did and that they're not going to change their violent behavior patterns." Alucard spoke in a hush voice while he combed loose strands of hair behind her ear.

"Are…you saying I'm mad, Alucard?" Seras choked out and refused to look at him with tear-filled eyes. "Just because…I love you guys and I wish to spend my life with you both? Why is that so wrong of me?" She asked again. The little human then closed her eyes tightly. "Your violent episodes…that cruelty and lack of mercy you show onto others…I know you won't ever show me those sides of you guys. I know you both would never do anything to hurt me and neither of you have ever, ever hurt me." One of her hands automatically shot down to hide the bruises on her wrist and she shifted uncomfortably. She didn't blame Sebastian at all for what happened. He had got lost in the moment like she had and she was positive that both elder creatures were used to hard and aggressive sex. They just needed to dial it back a bit because she's too fragile for them.

"But that doesn't mean I approve of what you guys have done or will do! I think it's sick! You both are barking mad!" She finished. It was silent in that garden once more. The elder creatures just sat there and watched the tears that rolled down their mate's face and listened to her soft sobs. They weren't in the least bit affected by her comment about them, but it did pain them to see her hurting like this. "Why are you trying to push me away?"

"We're not," Alucard murmured. "We just want you to be sure that this is what you want. You'll be spending your life with us, Seras. You'll love and bed with us for years and years. Our relationship could be eternal like our lives. But…as of right now, you're still young…and human. You can…always find a decent young man to settle down and have children with. Just because we're…mates, doesn't mean you're our prisoner, Seras. You can have a normal, healthy relationship and life." Her tears dried and she stayed frozen in her spot for a long minute. Her silence bothered the males further. They were willing to let her go to have a better life, but not getting an immediate response from her ate at them from the inside out. Suddenly, Seras did move. She titled back her head a little to stare up at them with those big blue orbs filled with tears. The girl gazed at them for the longest time before she sighed and then maneuvered so she could lie back on the grass.

"Lie down and stargaze with me?" She asked of them. Alucard furrowed his brows and they both looked at her like she was off her rocker. Seras frowned and gave them those puppy dog eyes. "Please?" She whimpered, sounding like she was about to cry again which wrenched their ancient hearts. The elder creatures didn't waste another second and lay down beside her. Seras instantly wrapped her arm around her King's to seek comfort and she interlaced her fingers with Sebastian's. The little human then buried her face in Alucard's shoulder and tried to keep herself from crying. "I think I'll be truly broken, mind and soul, if I was ever parted from you guys. I don't care if you think I'm crazy for staying…and I don't care if you guys are…monsters, I love you both, and people are always doing crazy things for love."

"Please, don't cry, Seras." Michaelis whispered while he watched her try to stifle her sobs and keep back the tears. When she wouldn't calm down any, he moved in and brushed his lips over the most sensitive area on her neck that was considered her ticklish spot. "Don't cry," He begged of her as he continued kissing and caressing that spot that made her twitch. The corner of her lips curved into a small smile and she laughed softly through sobs. Alucard lied there and stared down at her tearstained face. He still just couldn't understand how or why she loved them and why she wanted to stay. But he knew that he loved her more than anything and if she truly wanted him then he was hers. Not being able to stand to see his bride so sad, he leaned down and pressed his lips gingerly against hers. Seras froze up beside him and, mission accomplished, she did stop crying. Her arm around his tightened while she felt those warm skillful lips move over hers lovingly. A gentle smile crossed over his lips as he slowly pulled away to stare down into her face.

"Be crazy with us for all of eternity, that'll make us happy as long as you're happy." Alucard chuckled. "No more tears," He then shifted his head to stare up at the gorgeous sky. "You won't be able to see the stars through all of your tears." The little human laughed lightly and tried wiping her tears away on the sleeve of her shirt. With a small bright smile on her face, she looked up to stare up at the stars with her mates.
