Epilogue
"So it's over, huh?" asked Nicholas. "Damn, I missed everything."
"Aw, poor baby," laughed Gabriella.
"Okay, you're starting to piss me off."
"So?"
Alucard sighed softly. He knew what he must do. He started for the main doors.
Delilah grabbed his arm. "Adrian, where you going?"
"To seal myself in eternal sleep again..."
"What?! Don't do that!!" said Gabriella.
"You don't have to do that!" said Marguerite. "You can live a normal life."
"No, I can't. I have cursed blood. I'm no good to the world."
"You know that isn't true," said Delilah. "We all have cursed blood, but we can live normally!"
"It's different for me. I'm Dracula's son. His line passes through me. If I'm around, then people will be afraid of what they don't understand. I have to do this. I'm sorry."
Delilah let go of him. "So that's just it, huh? You waltz in after being away from us for so long, and you leave not long after?!"
"..."
Delilah grabbed the front of his shirt. "Say something!! We love you!! We accept you for who you are!! Please don't do this!!"
Alucard looked away, blinking back tears. "I have...no choice."
Tears spilled from Delilah's eyes. She buried her face into his chest. "Damn you!!!! Why?! Why do you have to have our father's blood?! Why?!"
Alucard held her to him. "I'm sorry. I would love to live with all of you. You all are my family, and you've been so good to me..."
Marguerite rushed forward and hugged him, tears spilling out of her eyes. "Oh Adrian!!! This shouldn't have to happen to you!!! It isn't fair!!! It isn't..."
Gabriella also went over and held him. She was fighting back tears. "I hate this!!! Why can't this happen to someone I hate?!?!"
The four of them stood there in silence for several minutes. Neither of them wanted to let the other go.
Finally, Alucard painfully let his sisters go. It killed him inside to do so. "I...I must go now."
Delilah gave him one last hug. "I love you. I always will. And don't ever forget that."
Alucard nodded. "I won't. I promise."
Marguerite gave him a kiss on the cheek. "You're forever in our hearts, Adrian."
"And you are all in mine."
Gabriella slapped him on the back. "You guys are too dramatic! It's not like we're never gonna see you again, Adrian!"
"Well, that's true..."
"If you ever change your mind, come to San Diego! You've got a home with us always!"
"Thanks...where's San Diego?"
"California," said Nicholas. Alucard had a confused look on his face. "In America...just fly around until you feel their auras."
Alucard nodded, then headed for the door. "The Spirits shall fix my sword while I sleep. It's painful for me to say goodbye, but...someday, I will see you all again. Until then, farewell, my sisters." He opened the door and exited, afraid to look back.
The three sisters stared at the closed door. Their silence was heartbreaking.
Gabriella broke the silence. "Hey human!! Where's your friend? We've gotta head back to San Diego!!"
Nicholas broke from his trance. "Huh? Right!" He ran into a small office and got on the phone.
Marguerite pushed a hand through her hair. "It's been a long day...I can't wait until we get home..."
Delilah's eyes remained glued to the closed door. "Adrian..."
Jeremy walked over to her and put an arm around her. "Don't despair, Delilah. You will see him again. I don't think he would want any of us to wallow in a depression."
"...You're right. I love him dearly, but I will see him again."
Nicholas re-appeared. "He's on his way. You guys might want to hide again..."
Gabriella looked down at herself. "Aw, I forgot I was wearing this!! Where the hell can I find a pair of jeans?!"
"Jeans?" asked Jeremy.
Marguerite patted him on the back. "There's so much we have to teach you..."
"Just wait 'till we get back to San Diego," said Gabriella. "We'll give you a new look!! New clothes, a hair cut-"
"No hair cut!!" said Delilah.
"He'll look weird with long hair!!"
"He's attractive with long hair!!"
Marguerite sighed. "Everything's back to normal..."
Alucard sighed in relief when he felt his sisters' auras leave Romania. They were safe...
He held up his sword. It rose into the air and started to repair itself.
When I awake again, it should be done, he thought as he gathered his powers. Oh, I wish I were human so I could live with my sisters...
His eyes stung with tears, but he shook them off. He would see them again. When that time came, it wouldn't be the most pleasant of hours, but he would see them. And for a short while, they would be together again.
Whoo. I'm sooooo glad I got it finished. I know it isn't all that long, and I'm sorry for that. And I'm also sorry for the long wait on the Epilogue (damn school). Pretty soon, I'll post up the prequel, so I hope everyone will be patient for it!! Thanks for reading!! ^_^
