Allen pov
After Serafina closed her door, I walked directly to the cafeteria and tried to keep my anger down. Lenalee and all the people in the black order, besides the people who were going to guard my sister. Was standing with birthday presents in their hands.
Lenalee walked up to me and jumped up and down. " Is she coming?."
I nodded. " Yes, but I was surprised to see so many people camping outside her room."
Lenalee stops jumping. " What are you talking about?." She turned to face her brother who stood dangerously close to the big 10 layers birthday cake. " Brother, step away from the cake."
" But it looks so good." he was on his way to poke his finger in the cake, but Jeryy hit his hand with the big wooden spoon.
" Hands off, it took weeks to make this big cake." he stared down at Komui who begins to cry.
Lenalee sighs and walked over to pull her brother away from the cake. " Stop act like a baby, and tell me why there are people camping outside Serafians room."
Komui stops crying. " Oh, I forgot to tell you. We think the Noah are after her, so I put a few guards to look after her."
I signed. " I know I wanted my sister to have a guard with her every time. But so many?. Even I think it's ridiculous."
" I think so too, but it's better than Lvellie men guarding her." Said Komui and looked around. " Where are Lavi and Kanda?. Serafina is coming any second."
" Here we are." Said a very happy Lavi while pulling very angry Kanda through the door.
" Let go, you stupid rabbit."
" Come on, Yuu. It's Serafinas Birthday party."
Kanda growled. " I have no reason to be here."
Lavi stops pulling and stared at Kanda. " Really?. Then why do you have that little presents with the tag saying happy birthday Serafina?."
Kanda froze and tried to hide the little presents he hand in his hand, in his pocket.
" Stupid rabbit." He shook off Lavi hand from his jacket and walked in.
Lavi grinned and walked over to me, Lenalee and Komui. " How long till she comes?."
Lenalee begins to jump again. " in a few seconds." She said happily.
I laugh. " But it will take a while with all the guards around her."
Lavi grin died down, but when he opened his mouth to say something, Serafina's voice was heard through the door.

I glanced over my shoulder while walking to the cafeteria, and was really annoyed. All of them was walking behind me, and didn't have any intention to leave me alone. Tiedoll was the only one smiling and talked about how we looked like a big happy family. Wish I had that calm, happy energy he had. instead of the anger that burned inside of me, and gives me thoughts about hurting a few of the people behind me. But I stayed calm and tried to think positive, tried.
" Don't any of you think it's ridiculous, that you are so many guarding me?."
One of the exorcists who had short blond hair shook his head. " We don't ask questions, we just follow orders."
I rolled my eyes and grabbed the handle of the door into the cafeteria.
" Lord help me," And I opened the door.
" HAPPY BIRTHDAY!."
I jumped back in surprise and stared at everybody, who was standing at the opening with presents in their hands.
Allen ran up to me and hugged me in a tight hug. " Happy birthday, sis."
I blinked a few times before hugging him back. " Thanks, Allen."
All the thinking I had about the fight from yesterday and the guards from this morning made me forget my birthday. But I wasn't mad that I forgot, this surprise really made my day.
After Allens hug, Lenalee and all the others walked up to me with the presents ready.
" Serafin, Serafina. Opened my presents first." said a very happy Lenalee who jumped up and down.
A small laugh escaped from my lips." Okay, Okay. Calm down a little, Lenalee." I took the yellow presents she handed over to me and opened it carefully. Inside the packets was a beautiful knee long blue dress.
" Awe, it's really beautiful. Thanks, Lenalee." I gave her a big hug, but while I hugged her I saw Kanda standing behind and looked down at the floor.
" Kanda, are you okay?." I let go of Lenalee and walked over to Kanda.
He directly looked up at me and I could see a small blush on his cheek.
Marie smiled and hit Kanda on the shoulder. " He just not used to give presents."
" Shut up." Said Kanda and fished up small presents from his pocket, and held it out without looking at me.
" Happy birthday, Serafina." His face got redder.
I slowly took the small packets and opened it. Inside the packets was ribbon, exactly like Kanda's.
I smiled up at him. " Thanks, Kanda."
"Tsk." He crossed his arms and pretended that he didn't care, but the red color on his face was proof that he did.
" Now it's my presents next," Said Lavi and held out smimiler small packets as Kanda. " I hope you like it."
I smiled at him and took the packets and opened it. Inside Lavi's packet was a beautiful necklace with a silver heart.
" Awe, Lavi. " I hugged him. " I love it."
I could feel his body relaxing when I said that and hugged me back. " Good, I was really worried that you were going to hate it."
I poke his nose and giggled. " You are silly."
I didn't have time to relax before all the other at the order handed me their presents, and it took a whole hour to open every one. Many gave me clothes, books, and some candy. But Allen was the only one who gave me a new stuffed rabbit, which he knew I loved. And this one was specially made to look like him, and it was really cute.
" Thanks, Allen."
He grinned and scratched his head. " Only for you."
I put the rabbit down in the packets and looked around. " That must be the last one," I said relieved. I like getting presents but this was a little too much, and I wonder how I can get everything my room. Espe'celly all the clothes, I don't think I can fit everything in my tiny closet.
" No, there I two more." Said Komui and came with two presents in his arms. One presents was wrapped in a sad gray paper, with a big letter saying 'To Serafina from your master'.
I stared at the letter in surprise and wonder what was in it. General Cross never gave me any presents, he would only say happy birthday and drink till he couldn't walk. But he was dead now, when did he decide to buy me a presents this time?. Directly when I opened the cap, a small silver thing flew out and hit me right in the face.
" Ouch," I took a few step back and hold my face while looking up. A silver golem flew around me and I couldn't help to stare at it. This golem was a little different than Timcanpy, this one had 4 wings instead of two wings and a big red cross on it.
All the other stare at it with open mouth, till Allen broke the silence. " Master made you, your own golem." He smiled.
" Yeah," I rubbed on the spot it hit me. " It got some energy. " It landed on my shoulder and rubbed its head under my chin, and everybody 'Awe' sound.
" That is so cute," said Lenalee and raised her hand to pat it. But the golem growled at Lenalees hand and hide under my hair. Lenalee only laughs, what are you going to name him.
I shrugged. " I don't know, I will think of a good name for it." I glanced at the last presents, and I had a feeling it was not from general Cross. The last presents were wrapped in very colorful paper with a big ribbon on top.
" Who is this from?."
Komui lifted the presents and looked on every corner to see a card or something written on it. " This came in the mail, I don't know where it came from." He put it down and had a serious face.
" I can't find a name, or who sent it."
I ignored him and opened the presents and was really surprised to see another stuffed rabbit dressed in kings clothes. But this one was really special, this was made from really expensive material. All the other stuffed rabbit I have are made from cheap material, but this was made of really expensive material. And some parts of its was crystal and jewels glowing from the light.
" Wow," I held it up and looked closer at the material." This looks really expensive." Allen walked over to me and nodded. " Yeah, do we know anybody who is rich?."
I thought for a second. " Lady Terisa is noble, maybe it's from her?."
" Maybe," said Allen and still stared at the rabbit with hard eyes. " Will you keep it?."
" I can't say no to nice presents as this, I will send a letter to her and ask if it's from her." I looked at everybody. " Who wants some cake?."

Everybody ran to the big cake and wanted a piece, I too wanted a big piece. But I stood behind and was in deep thoughts. That rabbit Serafina held in her arms gave me some bad feelings. I don't know why, but something about it wasn't right. I couldn't put my finger why, but I didn't like it. But after a while, i stop thinking about it and stood in line to get a piece from the cake.

The earl sat alone in the dark room filled with Road floating candles and stared at the light gray ball glowing in front of him. From this glowing ball, he could see Serafina laughing and eat a very sweet cake with everybody in the order. He smiled a little and held out his hand to the ball like he wanted to caress Serafinas face where he was.
" Am glad you like my presents." He smirked. " But don't worry, I have more surprises for you, your birthday is not over yet."
