Good Evening,
If anyone ever wants to use one of my stories (maybe create their own version based around the same idea) or upload it to another site or even just borrow one of my characters, please ASK first. I'll gladly give permission to those who ask. Recently, I had an issue where someone translated one of my stories on Wattpad, but didn't give credit. To be fair, she did say that she didn't own the story, but I still believe fully that you should ask before taking.
So far I've given permission to Ayelen Rock to translate two stories (The Girl on Fire and (the original) Truth or Dare) in Spanish on Fanfiction and Archives of Our Own. And I have given permission to The Mad Child to use my character Raena. Anyone else who has or wants to use my stories, PLEASE ask for permission first.
I was unable to update "Weak for Her" today. I do have a lot written for the next chapter, but it's in a middle of a very important scene.
I hope you guys enjoy the chapter.
Oxford Not Brogues
Chapter Two
Seras somehow managed to avoid answering Alice's question of whom or where her father was. The mother had simply closed the book and told the little girl that it was time for bed. She saw the disappointment swell in her daughter's eyes when she refused to answer any of her questions, but Seras forced herself to ignore that painful look. She tucked her daughter into bed, turned on a lamp as a nightlight, and left the room before any more questions could be asked. But she had no idea how much longer she could avoid answering those questions. As her daughter gets older it will be harder to avoid them. What will she do? She had to come up with an answer; find a way to explain all of this to her daughter. But what will she say? How will she explain any of this?
It just wasn't fair to Alice to feel left out or feel that she is unworthy to have a father figure in her life. The little girl was deeply upset not to have both parents like the pups in her story do. And even if Seras was able to tell Alice the truth of who her father was, how will she react? She was terrified of Alucard. If knowing that he was her father, will that fear dissipate or will that fear increase? What was Seras going to do? She was torn down the middle of either lying to her daughter or telling her the complete truth. There was only one thing Seras knew she needed to do. She needed to discuss this matter with Alucard and Sebastian. Maybe they could help her figure out what to say or what to do. Maybe, just maybe, they will be willing to step up and be her father, though Seras wasn't exactly holding her breath on that.
But for right now she was going to put that all out of her mind. For the next hour, she'll focus solely on her training. And then maybe after, if she wasn't too tired, she'll have a serious discussion with Alucard and Sebastian. The Draculina took a deep needed breath and released all that air from her mouth. When she collected herself, she began making her way to her master's chambers. She walked down those cold, lonely corridors of the basement. Her only light source was the occasional wall lamp every few feet. Not long, she came across stairs that led further into this creepy, old basement. Power radiated from the bowels of this manor. Her Sire's territory permeated with his strong scent. It would have warded other vampires away, warning them of the danger ahead. But what did Seras have to fear? Alucard was her master and no threat to her. Well, at least not while they weren't training that is.
While Alucard and Sebastian did hold back and rarely ever used their powers during training, they did kick the living shit out of her. Thankfully, Seras has gotten better over the last two years. While she still hasn't been able to land a single blow on her mentors, she was able to avoid their oncoming attacks way better and faster than she used to. Her reflexes most certainly had improved and she was getting better at morphing through objects and manipulating her shadows. She was nowhere near mastering any of her powers, but Alucard assured her that she wouldn't until she became her own vampire. For now, they'll train her so she can defend herself when against another vampire.
The Draculina approached the cold iron door that would lead her to her master's personal room. Barely using any of her strength, Seras pulled open that old, heavy door. There was that shrill from the metal from the lack of oil on the rusty hinges. Just inside she found her mentors waiting for her, standing near her master's throne. Those cold, hard gazes were drilling into her being the second the door revealed her. They must have sensed her coming. In span of seconds, their gazes softened a little.
"You didn't drink." Was the first thing Alucard said to her. His fledgling closed the door behind her when he heard her click her tongue in frustration. Afterwards, she turned back to face them as she tiredly rubbed her forehead.
"It completely escaped my mind, Sir." Seras muttered, which was the truth. The girl had been so occupied by her daughter's questions about her father that she had completely forgotten to drink a blood bag like her master had ordered. "How did you know?" She asked with a light shrug, a little bewildered that he was able to tell so quickly.
"Your complexion," Sebastian answered before her master could. The Draculina only gave them a strange look, showing her confusion. "You're pale,"
"Aren't all vampires?" Seras snickered as a small smile cracked her face.
"Yes," The demon confirmed with a nod. "But you have never been normal." All amusement seeped from the Draculina's eyes and she frowned at her mentors.
"Gee, thanks." She muttered sarcastically. The corner of Sebastian's lips curled to form a smirk and he snickered.
"I didn't mean offense." He chuckled. "I didn't mean it as a bad thing."
"What he means is you're not a normal vampire because you blush." Alucard explained. Seras' eyes widened slightly. She blushed? Self-consciously, the girl cupped her face into her hands, afraid that she was blushing this very second. She knew that from time to time she got a little embarrassed, but she didn't think that she actually blushed. "It could be because you're still a fledgling. You still have one foot in the human world." Alucard looked somewhat disappointed as he stared at her. It was so unusual for her to see a frown on his face. She was just so used to that insane grin. Admittedly, she hated not seeing him as his 'bright' and cheerful self. "It'll probably fade when you become a true vampire."
"So…you both can tell when I don't drink my blood…because of my complexion?" Seras asked stupidly as her hands slipped from her face.
"When you have fresh blood in your system your cheeks tends to have more color in them." Sebastian responded with a slight nod. "They currently don't have any color, which leads us to believe that you haven't eaten tonight."
"Here," Her master spoke as he pulled a blood bag from his coat pocket. "Drink this." Seras instinctively flocked over to her master and took the bag he held out to her. She looked at it for a moment as if she didn't know what it was. Her eyes then flickered back up to look at him. "When you're done we'll start your training." Seras nodded her head in agreement.
"Yes, Sir." She murmured. But then Police Girl just stood there. As the seconds ticked by a nervous look appeared in her eyes and she smiled bashfully up at her mentors. Confused by her strange behavior, the males' brows furrowed.
"What?" Alucard questioned his fledgling. The smile on her face only widened further before she giggled nervously to herself. Timidly, the Draculina held her hands behind her back and closed her eyes.
"I can't drink while being watched, Master." Seras whispered.
"You must be joking." Sebastian responded.
"We've seen you naked before, Police Girl." The No Life King reminded her as he grinned at his fledgling in amusement. His Childe's smile fell and she blinked stupidly at them.
"And?" She questioned.
"And you're afraid of drinking in front of us?" He teased her.
"What does that have to do with you guys seeing me naked before?" She asked with an arched brow. "Those are two separate things."
"The point is you shouldn't be embarrassed doing anything in front of us." The demon chuckled.
"I still don't see how those two things are connected. Just because we hooked up once doesn't mean that I can't still be bashful or embarrassed eating in front of someone." Seras retorted as she threw out her arms dramatically. The males merely chuckled at her. Her cheeks were burning with a blush, but it wasn't as dark as it normally was since she hasn't eaten at all tonight.
"Our point, my dear, is that we've seen you do more than drink a blood bag before. Need I remind you, you performed fellatio…" Before Alucard could even finish that thought, his Draculina waved her arms about and started chittering incoherently to drown out what he was saying. This only caused their smirks to widen further. "So watching you drink a blood bag is nothing compared to what we have seen." The fledgling gave them a hard look. The blush darkened much to their pleasure. They always loved getting a rise out of the girl.
"I thought we were never going to mention that night again." Seras told them in a stern voice.
"Michaelis and I never agreed to that." Her master purred as that grin widened to show off his sharp teeth. The Draculina's eyes flickered to the floor, unable to hold her master's gaze any longer out of embarrassment.
"Don't look so upset, Victoria." Sebastian breathed. "We never said that we didn't enjoy it. Quite the contrary," The males had achieved their goal. Seras' face was now a beat red. Alucard shifted to the side to point directly at his throne.
"Now, enough of this nonsense, Police Girl. Sit down and drink your blood so we can get to training." Her master ordered her. The little vampire didn't bother to disobey or even acknowledge him. Too embarrassed by their conversation, the Police Girl practically cowered all the way over to his throne before taking her seat. She sat on the very edge of it since she felt a little unusual sitting where her master normally sat. It felt almost forbidden for her to be sitting there, even though her Sire permitted her to. The embarrassment died from her eyes when all three of them felt a new presence nearby. Their heads snapped to the side just in time to see little Alice phasing through the iron door. The child looked absolutely terrified entering Alucard's domain. She practically had tears in her eyes as she clutched her toy fox to her chest. From where Seras sat she could hear her daughter whimpering in fear. Alice stared intently at the two males, making sure they wouldn't act on her being in their territory. She tiptoed cautiously the rest of the way through the door.
"Allison?" Seras whispered, bewildered to find her daughter not only out of bed but willingly standing in her Sire's room. "What's wrong? Why aren't you in bed?" The dark haired girl looked at her mother.
"I don't want to go to bed. I'm not tired." Alice grumbled under her breath, but her mother was able to catch it.
"It's late, hon." The Draculina sighed. "The sun will be rising very soon."
"So?" Her daughter whined. "The sun can't hurt me." The girl then gave puppy dog eyes as she pouted out her lip. "Can I please stay up for just a bit longer? I don't want to be left in the room alone. I can't sleep."
"But I have to train." Seras reminded her. "I…" Before she could even finish, Alice interrupted.
"I promise I won't distract you." The child promised. "I'll sit quietly and watch." The fledgling glanced up at her master curiously, wondering if he'll allow the tiny girl to observe their lesson for today.
"Master?" Seras whispered when the two males just stood there and stared at the child. Alucard shifted his head to give his Childe his attention. "Is it alright if she stayed here for a little bit?" The elder vampire glanced back at the dark haired girl. Alice instinctively drew back when she met with those dark red eyes. She lowered her head in submit and kept her mouth shut as to not anger him.
"Will you behave yourself?" Alucard questioned. "We don't have time to babysit you. We'll be hard at work training your mother. Can you manage to keep yourself quiet and not disturb us?" The tiny girl nodded her head.
"Be respectful and answer him properly." Seras gently lectured her daughter. Disappointed that her mother was forcing her to speak to that man Alice's gaze drifted to stare at the floor.
"Yes, Sir." The girl whispered. Alucard then pointed towards his coffin.
"Sit there and keep quiet." He demanded lightly. The child's eyes flickered to his coffin in interest. She's never seen his coffin before. Somehow it looked just as intimidating as him. It was big, dark, and could swallow her whole. But Alice didn't question his authority. The little girl walked right over and climbed up to sit on top of his coffin. She criss-cross her legs before giving her attention fully to the three adults in front of her. She had never sat through one of her mother's training sessions before and was a little excited to do so. Maybe she'll have the pleasure to see her mother actually beat up the monsters that she so feared. Alucard stared at her for a moment or two before glancing back at his Draculina. The fledgling just sat there gazing at her child. The blood bag remained untouched. "Police Girl," Seras jumped when hearing the familiar pet name. Her eyes darted up to meet his hard gaze. "Why haven't you started drinking?" He questioned with an arched brow. Seras knew that the question was rhetorical and that if her Sire had to repeat himself again, he was not going to be happy; which wouldn't bode well for her because her mentors already made her training sessions difficult enough. She didn't need the extra pressure or the extra violence from them.
Obediently, Seras brought the bag up to her mouth and sunk her fangs in. Her master watched her for a moment or two, making sure that she'll drink the blood without any issues. When he was satisfied that she was going to thoroughly obey him, he looked away. The master vampire prepared himself for his battle with his fledgling…not that it was going to be much of a fight. He pulled off his red coat and threw it over his coffin next to the girl. Afterwards, he unbuttoned his black coat, pulled it off, and threw it over his coffin as well. Alice stared at the items of clothing next to her. The scent that came off the fabric was so strong. It was baffling when she didn't feel fear but was instead soothed by that very scent. How unusual.
Curiously, she shifted on top of the coffin to face the large coats. Setting her fox down beside her, she gingerly gripped Alucard's red coat. The little vampire brought the sleeve up to her face and curiously sniffed the fabric, having to be sure that it was that specific scent that she found so calming. Alucard's scent filled her nostrils and a deep purr escaped the young girl. The aroma coming from his coat smelled of gun residue, mouthwatering blood, and something else, something with spice to it. She closed her eyes as she fully allowed herself to relax for the first time since entering his domain. Alice wasn't entirely sure why she found his scent appeasing when her fear for him ran so deep. But she didn't question it at the moment. She just took comfort at the scent and warmth that radiated from the coat. Unable to help herself, the child pulled the coat closer towards her to hug it to her body. She kept her nose buried in the fabric and continued to purr.
"Good," Alucard purred when he witnessed his Childe finish off her blood bag. He rudely swept the empty plastic from her mouth before carelessly throwing it onto the table beside his throne. "If you're done holding up the lesson for today then, Police Girl, I would like to start." Her master spoke as he loosened the cravat around his throat. His fledgling sighed, knowing that she was going to get her ass handed to her for the second time this week. She wasn't exactly looking forward to it, but she knew that she couldn't put it off any longer. The small blonde finally stood up to accept her master's challenge. Before she could fully stand up to face him, Alucard was already throwing a punch her way. However, Seras saw it coming and was able to stop it before his fist could meet with her nose. Instinctively, the Draculina caught her master by his wrist.
"I can only fall for that one so many times, Master." The fledgling sighed. She couldn't count how many times Alucard had sucker punched her and broke her nose when he knew she wasn't ready.
"I'm just finally glad you learned after the billionth time, Police Girl." Alucard teased her. In one swift move, her master swept her arm away from his before he kicked her legs out from under her. The small blonde fell to the floor hard. The wind was knocked right out of her as her head collided against the bricked flooring, giving her an instant headache. She cupped her paining head and groaned through gritted teeth. "Use your powers, Draculina, and fight us! Show us what we have taught you!" Alucard bared his large fangs at her. Her eyes flew open to reveal dark red irises of a beast. Unexpectedly, tendrils erected from his Childe's shadows and shot towards him. The tendrils wrapped tightly around his arms and legs, keeping him locked in place until the girl was back on her feet. Before she could act and try swinging a punch, Michaelis attacked her. The demon pushed the Draculina hard, shoving her whole body forward so it slammed into Alucard's. The elder vampire barely budged when her form collided into his solid one.
"Know your surroundings, Victoria!" Sebastian barked at her. It was something he constantly reminded her of. Seras' one fatal mistake: never watching her damn back. "Take advantage of your senses and instincts! They'll always notify you if there's ever any danger behind you!" With ease, Alucard manipulated his fledgling's shadows and moved his arms freely. Reaching out, he gripped Seras' shoulder tightly before throwing her to the side. The small blonde landed on the floor in a heap.
"You're doing poorly tonight." Alucard lectured her as her shadows melted from around his body. "I don't care if you're tired, Police Girl. Fight!" The No Life King then bent down to grab the girl by the scruff of her shirt. Without even using a fraction of his strength, he picked his fledgling up off the floor and placed her back on her feet. Disappointment shimmered in Seras' eyes as she glowered at the floor. Even though she loved training with her mentors, she hated getting her ass handed to her. But it bothered her all the more knowing that she was displeasing them with her fighting skills. They have taught her so much over the last three years and she was still terrible at defending herself against them. Instinctively, the little vampire moved backwards as her master tried throwing a punch at her. Her red eyes flickered up to look at him just as he was throwing another punch her way. Again, she maneuvered just in time to avoid his fist from meeting with her face.
As usual, Alucard and she fell into their own little dance. He attacked and she avoided it. This was all she could ever do, avoid. She was never given the chance to strike or even land a blow on them. It didn't matter how easy they went on her. It didn't matter that they held back so much strength so that they didn't break her bones. It didn't matter that they didn't manipulate their powers against her. They always kicked her ass no matter what. Seras frowned before she jumped backwards as her master's swinging leg came at her. From the corner of her eye, she saw Sebastian moving in to attack. Quickly, the Draculina focused her gaze on him. For a second, it felt like time had slowed considerably as her brain analyzed what was happening. She noted that the demon was coming right at her with his hand raised. His claws had lengthened so she figured that he intended on swiping his hand down to claw her.
Seras' red eyes brightened as she attempted to use her shadows once more. Before Sebastian had time to rake her with his claws, her tendrils came to her rescue. They wrapped around his wrist and pulled him back sharply, sending him hurtling to the floor. A bewildered look appeared on the demon's face for a moment before the corner of his lip curled into a smirk. Such pride shone in his eyes as he freed himself from her shadows and went in to attack her again. However, Alucard was already terrorizing the Draculina. The girl had her arms up, protecting her face as her master threw punch after punch at her. Seeing as how she was too preoccupied protecting her face solely, believing that she was predicting his every move, Alucard and Sebastian changed it on her. The demon gracefully darted his way towards her to plant his nails deep into her side. Just as Seras became aware of the sharp pain, her master punched her hard in the stomach. The Draculina doubled over in pain before falling onto her knees. Her arms were wrapped around her paining stomach as she choked and gasped for breath. The side of her stomach was bleeding profusely from the demon's nails. He had, incidentally, cut a little deeper than intended. But he wasn't too worried because Seras had just consumed a blood bag so she should heal with no problems.
"Predict the unpredictable." Alucard told her. "You'll never know what your enemies will throw at you." He stared at her for a moment or two and just watched as she tried to catch her breath from the pain in her stomach. "Know that your enemies will not give you a moment to collect yourself. They will strike when you are down. But I'll allow you take a moment to heal, Police Girl." The master vampire then knelt to come down to his Childe's level. He cupped the back of her head and gingerly ruffled her hair. "Have you been practicing your mindreading?"
"Y-yes." Seras gasped as her body trembled. She didn't have the strength to hold herself up right, but she didn't dare collapse in fear of disappointing her master further. She closed her eyes and tried to overcome that crippling pain. Warm blood soaked into her uniform, but she could already feel that the claw wounds were healing. She just had to deal with that fucking pain in her stomach. The little vampire was actually bewildered that she hadn't lost her meal after that hit.
"Good," Alucard whispered. "It will aid you when you're in battle with weaker vampires. You can predict their moves easier." After his attempt of trying to soothe her, the master vampire rose back to his full height. "Get up now, Victoria. We're not finished yet."
"Perhaps you hit her too hard?" Sebastian noted as they watched the trembling girl try to climb to her feet.
"We can't coddle her forever." The elder vampire replied. "She'll have to learn how to fight like a real vampire eventually. We need to intensify her training so she doesn't grow used to us pampering her." Seras looked utterly miserable as she stood before her mentors. She was pale in the face and still holding her paining stomach. Knowing that Alucard still hadn't used all of his strength in that single punch scared her and made her sick to her stomach. "While I am proud that you have learned to control your shadows and tendrils, you can't always depend on them. You need to start using your other abilities, Police Girl. Master more than one skill. This time, try doing something other than using your tendrils when attacking us."
"Yes, Master." Seras whispered as she glumly looked at the floor. She wasn't very good at using her other abilities. She had trouble walking through walls and moving agilely at a fast speed. And no matter how many times she tried, she couldn't defy gravity like her mentors could. Whenever she tried she would just fall right onto her ass. She also had a very difficult time shapeshifting. Alucard said that even she should be capable of turning into a mist or bat as young as she is, but she always failed. At the most she can make her fingers turn into a mist, but her whole being? That was out of the question. She could spend hours trying to turn into mist and barely make it passed her wrist. And turning back to her physical form (or, in reality, getting her fingers back from her mist form) was practically impossible. More than once Alucard had to assist her by causing her physical pain in order to get her physical form back. Whenever that happened, he would normally just sweep her legs out from under her or slap the back of her head.
The mother shifted her head a little to cautiously look at her daughter. Allison, not much to her surprise, was fast asleep already. She was wrapped tightly in Alucard's coat, using it as a blanket. Her toy fox was tucked under her arm while she gingerly sucked the tip of her thumb. From where she stood, Seras could hear the little beast purring in her sleep, comforted by the scent of her father. The small blonde sighed through her nose. Alice had just turned three and was a master at using her abilities. Admittedly, Seras was a little jealous. How was a toddler able to control her powers so easily without any training? Was it because she was Alucard's daughter? Did it just come naturally to her? Allison was a pure vampire; she was never human like her mother and father. Using her abilities must be instinct for her, as easy as breathing.
"What is going on, Seras?" Alucard whispered. The Draculina jolted when her master spoke her name. Instantly, her eyes flickered up to meet his gaze. She had only ever heard him say her name once before and that was the night when little Allison was created. The elder vampire held nothing but concern and disappointment in his eyes as he stared down at his fledgling. "When we're on missions, you tear through ghouls and chipped vampires like it's nothing. You use your speed and strength to your advantage. You don't let anything stop you or get in your way. You fight like hell. But you don't fight like that here. You hesitate and your fighting is sloppy. You don't even bother using your powers unless we're yelling at you to." Seras lowered her gaze to frown at the floor.
"That's different, Master." His fledgling whispered. "When I'm fighting on missions and when I'm fighting in here…that's different. I'm a different…person on the battlefield. I don't like what I become." She lightly shook her head. "I need to learn how to fight without my demon. I need to learn how to tap into my powers without having to count on her." A weak smile then cracked her round face. "Plus, it's very hard to fight you and Sebastian, Master." The girl giggled softly before looking back up at her mentors. "It's extremely difficult trying to land a blow. You're both too fast."
"We've held back significantly." Sebastian told her, earning a nod from the girl.
"I know." She responded. "I'm not asking you guys to take it easy on me. I'm just stating a fact."
"Would you like to land the first blow?" Alucard questioned with a crooked grin. Seras' smile faltered and she looked back at her Sire in bewilderment. Was he serious?
"What?" The Draculina murmured in disbelief.
"Would you like to initiate the fight by hitting one of us first?" He rephrased his question, saying it nice and slowly for his daft Childe. The small blonde stared up at him for a long moment and just blinked at him stupidly.
"Umm…" Seras drawled as her mouth gaped open. "Are you serious?" She questioned him before a smile broke out across her lips. Alucard and Sebastian could have sworn they saw excitement there in her eyes.
"It's only fair. Michaelis and I always start these fights and we don't even give you a chance to prepare yourself." Her master responded.
"You…won't get mad?" His Draculina asked innocently as a blush appeared on her cheeks. "I can hit you with no consequences?"
"Police Girl, this is a training session. You are meant to fight back and hurt us." Alucard reminded her. "Have you been holding back this entire time because you're afraid that we'll be angry with you?"
"Maybe…a little." Seras admitted with a light shrug. "You're just both so intimidating." She snickered afterwards.
"During training, you do whatever you have to do in order to fight back. You have full permission to hit us." The No Life King stated clearly. But, even though he permitted it, Seras still felt that hitting them would be extremely impossible. They were still super-fast. Even if she was allowed to hit Alucard…or Sebastian right now, it didn't mean she will be able to land another blow on them ever again while fighting them. But, she'll take this chance before the opportunity closes. Seras balled her hand into a fist.
"Is it really okay?" The fledgling asked, sounding uncertain as she stared up at her Sire.
"Just hit me, Police Girl!" Alucard growled at her in annoyance. Automatically, the small blonde took a swing. She slammed her fist into her master's cheek. His head snapped to the side as a satisfying crunch sounded in the air around them. Instantly, her eyes widened in fear. Oh, shit! She had just broken her master's jaw! Her heart dropped to her stomach and all color drained from her face. Her master's cheek was already swelling from her punch, but he looked ever so calm as he stood up straighter to look back down at her. "What have I taught you?"
"Um…" Seras drawled once more as her eyes flickered around almost uncontrollably. She was terrified to meet his gaze, afraid that he was angry with her for breaking his jaw.
"I told you don't hesitate. I gave you a moment for a second attack and you didn't take it. Instead you just stood there and allowed me to recover. Would you allow your enemies to recover, Victoria? Would give them a fighting chance to destroy you?" Alucard lectured her.
"No, Sir." The fledgling whispered as she finally set her gaze on his boots.
"Then you should have thrown another punch, knock me to the ground, or have done something useful instead of just stand there." Her master growled in fury. She could see his hands curling into tight fists at his sides. She was afraid it was going to be his turn to punch her and that he wasn't going to go easy on her. "Punch me again and, this time, don't hesitate after. There will only be so many chances I will give to you, Police Girl." Just as he was finishing that sentence, his fledgling was striking him again. This time her fist met with his chin, causing his head to snap back sharply. Without hesitation, Seras continued to attack him. She raked her elongated nails across his stomach, cutting deep enough to make him bleed. Before she could get in another swing, Alucard grabbed her tightly by her wrist and threw her to the side. His Childe landed hard on the floor and rolled to a stop near his coffin. His glowing red orbs narrowed dangerously on her as a wide grin spread across his face. "Very good," He purred. "But don't stop now, Police Girl. Keep going. Try to get another shot in."
Hurriedly, Seras scrambled to her feet before her master had the chance to reach her. Much to his delight, his fledgling didn't hesitate after she got up. Instead, she came right at him with a deadly look in her eyes. He prepared himself for her attack. His eyes flickered about her being as he waited in anticipation to see what she was going to throw at him. By the looks of it, she was just coming right at him. She didn't raise her fist or a clawed hand. She was just…running head on at him. He figured, to counteract her oncoming attack, he would throw her to the ground again or maybe backhand her. But she did something unexpected. Just as she was nearing him, she kicked out her leg, sending her boot flying towards his face. Instinctively, the elder vampire caught it before the boot could collide with his face. As he was in the process of catching her boot, his Childe dropped to the ground and slid between his legs.
Alucard's eyes widened and he went to follow her action, but was stopped when he suddenly found his Draculina on his back. Speedy little monster. Alucard thought to himself proudly. The petite girl had her arm wrapped around his throat while her free hand had a fistful of his hair. She pulled his head back sharply and raked her sharp talons across his throat, practically tearing out his jugular in the process. Her eyes brightened hellishly when smelling her Sire's ancient hot blood, but she would not be tempted by it. Seras dug her feet into his back, pushing against his spine painfully, before she pushed off of him to land several feet away. He could feel his blood pouring down his throat like a waterfall. He was in no way hurt. In fact, he was already starting to heal. But he was absolutely shocked. His Draculina had gotten the better of him for the first time. Undoubtedly, she did it in a peculiar way by distracting him with her flying boot. But it had been quick thinking and had most definitely helped her win this round between them. Impressed, the elder vampire turned to look at his fledgling.
"Well done, my dear." Alucard muttered as he stared at her thoughtfully. His hand came up to feel along his throat. The skin was still torn, but the bleeding had stopped. In seconds, the rest of the wound should be fully healed. His Childe smiled when hearing his small praise. The No Life King grinned at her when seeing that proud look in her eyes. "But don't get cocky. Just because you got the better of me doesn't mean that the fight is over." He then gestured his head behind her. Seras immediately understood. Her eyes widened and her smile fell when remembering that she had a second opponent. She had completely forgotten about Sebastian. On cue, the demon tackled the little vampire to the floor. Seras grunted as the heavy male landed on top of her. He grabbed her tightly by the wrists and easily restrained her. But this didn't keep her from fighting. She struggled in his grasp and bared her teeth at him.
"Get off!" She shouted, even though she knew he wouldn't listen.
"That was way too easy, Victoria. You really shouldn't let arrogance get in the way. That could be your downfall in a fight against an enemy." Sebastian chuckled.
"You're one to talk." Seras snickered with a roll of her eyes. "You and Master both are such arrogant jerks, especially when you're up against someone."
"We're allowed to be." The demon corrected her. "We have enough experience, unlike you, and know how to win a fight."
"Yeah, well, Master didn't see my boot maneuver coming." The Draculina purred as she beamed happily at Michaelis. "He lost that fight."
"You win one little fight and you're boasting." Alucard snickered in amusement at his Childe.
"Let me have this!" Seras exclaimed through giggles. "I get my ass handed to me so much! I don't care how I won that fight, it threw you off guard and I won!" The girl then stuck her tongue out.
"You are a child." Sebastian chuckled while he shook his head at her in disapproval.
"Hey, maybe that will help me win fights?" She said half-jokingly before she leaned up and licked the demon's face, like an immature child torturing a sibling. But the demon didn't react in any way to that childish move of hers.
"I don't think so." He sighed as his gaze hardened.
"What will help you right now would be your powers, Draculina." Alucard gave her a little hint. "Perhaps tangibility," Seras frowned as she pulled her head back to look at her master.
"I'm terrible at that, Master." She admitted to him.
"Practice," The master sighed in frustration. "Try,"
"But what if I can't do it?" She grumbled.
"Then try to find another way out of this situation." Alucard growled. "Think, Police Girl."
"Think," Seras murmured to herself as her eyes flickered about. She lightly struggled in the demon's hold, but it was evident that she wasn't really trying. She was busy thinking too hard about how to escape from this. She analyzed the situation. She was trapped beneath Sebastian. He was basically hunched over her with his legs parted around her thighs. He had a tight grasp on her wrists, keeping them pinned on either side of her head. "Hmn," Seras hummed as she proceeded to think through this, unfortunately, much too slowly for the males. The little vampire shifted beneath the demon. Her legs repositioned between his. She bent them a little to see if she could somehow squeeze them from between the demon's legs. Perhaps that would help her. But she was given very little room to work. Unbeknownst to her, her knee lightly grazed over Sebastian's soft cock. The demon jolted on top of the girl and his grip on her wrists tightened a little. Seras didn't seem to notice though. She proceeded trying to free her legs and continuously grazed her knee over his groin.
Michaelis bit deeply into his bottom lip as his eyes burned darkly in their sockets. Damn it! He could feel himself hardening the more she struggled beneath him. She was twisting and turning, grazing that knee over him. He started becoming more aware of their once innocent position. His eyes trailed down her body, seeing that busty chest of hers and that shirt straining around those large mounds. Her curvy hips, still ever so grabble in his eyes. All he could picture in that moment was the night Alice was created. Ever since then, Sebastian's has had a deep yearning for physical contact with Seras. He was aching to be lost between her thighs again and experience pleasure with her. He was dying to take her as a full time lover. But it would only ever be a fantasy for him. She didn't want him or Alucard in that way.
Before Seras could figure out that the demon had a growing erection in his pants, he quickly moved. He released her wrists, bolted to his feet, and turned away in hope to calm himself down from his aroused state. Seras, on the other hand, was so baffled when the demon suddenly just gave up and let her go. Her wide eyes flickered up to watch Sebastian walk away so hurriedly, like he had suddenly remembered that he had left the stove on or something. The little vampire sat up to blink at him before glancing up at her master. Alucard stood over her, staring nonchalantly at the demon's back. And then, the corner of his lips curled into a grin and he snickered in amusement.
"I guess this training session isn't just for you alone, Police Girl." Her master purred.
"What do you mean, Master?" His fledgling muttered as she gazed up at him curiously. But his eyes remained on the flustered demon.
"Restraint, my dear. Michaelis is still learning how to restrain himself." Alucard said simply. Seras glanced back at Sebastian to see the demon giving a foul look at the elder vampire over his shoulder. Restraint? The Draculina wondered and she cocked her head to the side to study Sebastian. Why would he need to learn how to restrain himself? Restrain himself from what? Seras cautiously pushed off the ground to rise to her unimpressive height.
"I don't understand." She muttered as she glanced back up at her Sire. Alucard glanced at her as he shoved her boot into her arms. "Why does he need to learn how to restrain himself?" She then gestured at the floor where he had pinned her before pulling her boot back onto her foot. "Was he frustrated with me because I didn't work fast enough to free myself? Did…he want to hurt me, Master?" Seras asked, looking at unease. Her Sire lightly shook his head.
"No," He answered simply. "Don't mind him and only focus on your training, Police Girl."
"I think that should be the end of training for the night." Sebastian added quickly. His back was still facing the vampires and Seras still couldn't understand why. Was he ashamed of her? Was he disappointed in the way she fought tonight? The demon sighed before he finally turned to walk back over towards them. He seemed a little tense, especially when he came up to stand beside her, but Seras couldn't figure out what was wrong at all. "How is your stomach?" He asked while his eyes flickered to the side to meet her gaze. The Draculina was quick to lower her gaze to stare at the floor. She gave a light shrug of her shoulders.
"Alright," She muttered as she subconsciously cupped her stomach. It still hurt a little, but it wasn't as bad as it was earlier. Seras then glanced up at her master. "I'm sorry that I broke your jaw. Is it okay now?" She asked. Without thinking, the Draculina raised her hand to gingerly cup her master's cheek where she had hit him. It was no longer red or swollen, which led her to believe that it had healed. But she wanted to be sure. Alucard grabbed her by the wrist and forced her hand away from his face, though he didn't release her hand afterwards. He kept it in a firm grip while he stared deeply into those hurt eyes of hers.
"It's fine," He answered in a low tone. His Childe's gaze lowered to stare elsewhere.
"If…training is over, then…I guess I'll leave." Seras whispered, unsure of what should be done. Normally training went on for a bit longer, but if her mentors are calling it quits tonight, then there was no point in her sticking around. She glanced over at her daughter who was sound asleep on top of Alucard's coffin still. She should be getting Allison to bed.
"Don't," Alucard demanded softly and his grip tightened around her hand.
