Chapter: the contract

Malus stood at the altar, he was wearing simple black pants, a black coat, a black pair of gloves, a red shirt and black boots. They had little gold on them but for him they were still comfortable, besides they looked good. He looked over at the man beside him, he had long brown chestnut hair which was in a braid, his eyes were violet, he was in priests attire but he was not a priest. The man who would perform the ceremony was no other then Death, A.K.A. Duo Maxwell. malus though it would be a good idea to have him perform the ceremony 'to have death as a witness of a ceremony of ever lasting love' malus though 'one of your best ideas yet, to bad I never though of it when Lisa was alive' malus let out a sigh. "What is it, you sound upset, you should be happy you are about to marry a woman with great power and with her you will rule all" duo said looking at his old friend malus "Nothing really just remembering some things from the past" "well don't remember too much or you may have a mental break down" duo said. "Don't worry I will" malus said sarcastically. Duo shook his head, malus sighed and looked back down the aisle.

Standing there was carrie a smile of pure bliss was on her face, She then started to walk down the aisle {they are outside, because if demons were in a church there would be a huge clean up afterwards} he smiled as he looked at her, she was so beautiful, so innocent. Memories went through malus's mind as he saw her.

Dracula walked on the gloomy plain, he was hungry he had not eaten in days. "Curse those belemonts, may the next one be stupid and weak" he cursed harshly. His sensitive hearing then heard humming, it was coming over the hill ahead, he ran up the hill and looked down, standing there was a little girl with blue hair. He smiled and rushed to her, he slowed down when he got closer. He was now right behind her, his smile widened. The little girl the turned around and looked at him with her crimson eyes, she smiled at him "hello" she said in a innocent tone. "Hello little girl" he said in a clam voice careful not to scare the child... Yet. She handed him a flower "for you" dracula took the flower and looked at her curiously. She then giggled a childish laugh and ran up the hill at the crest of the hill she turned around and said "bye bye" she then turned back around and disappeared over the hill. Dracula looked down at the flower she had given him 'she had no fear, doesn't she know who I am' he though 'but that can be easy changed' he smiled evilly as he turned around and walked off into the distance.

Malus took carrie's hands into his, he gazed into her eyes. To him they were beautiful, they were crimson the color of blood. He had wanted her for so long now, he would finally get what he wanted. She was so young when he first saw her, he want through great lengths just to be with her. All his wishes and desires for her will be fulfilled shortly. "All gathered here, you are here to witness this marriage between this man and this woman" duo started, malus smiled the memories of when he had found her weeping over her mother, he had wanted to kill her himself so he had ordered his men not to touch her, but when he had seen her, he felt it sympathy for her, he had also sensed a hidden power, he had seen what her mother had done, he knew carrie would be a potential alley when she was older, when she knew how to use the power, so he brought her to lania. He had told lania to watch over her, and when the time was right he wanted her. Over time and knight visits he started to feel for her, from pity to care then finally love.

"Do you carrie fernandez take this man to be you offal wedded husband to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, in richness and in richness, forever and ever till death do you part for a short while" duo said, "I do" carrie said not really listening to what he said. Malus thoughts were still else where, remembering. He had taken this body of a sickly child named malus who was close to death. He had become malus, eventually the people that looked over the child died in a unfortunate ' 'accident' ' he then ventured to the castle where he waited for her He waited for his carrrie. She then came and ' 'saved' ' him, he would never had been hurt by the demons. His thoughts were interrupted by duo.

"And do you dra.... I mean malus take this woman to be your bitc.. I mean wife to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, forever in till some belmont comes along and kicks you ass, and you disappear for awhile, then you return" duo said, malus gave duo a death glare before saying "I do" duo smiled " great I now pronounce you ma.."

"WAIT" a shout came from down the aisle. Malus turned to see his son alucard standing there, Malus gave him a death glare. alucard cringed a little then walked down the aisle to the altar "I abject to this wedding" he said. "Who are you" asked carrie, "what are you doing here" malus said anger and hatred in his voice. "I though we already did the part where you object.. sorry you missed it" duo said with a smug look. "Actually no you did not" carrie said, the smug look on death's face disappeared. "Then what took you so long to speak up alucard" duo said. "I had a little problem with a few demons, I took care of it though" alucard said.

Alucard turned towards his father, "I will ask again, what are you doing here alucard, and what do you want" malus said his tone not changing, "I have come for a few reasons" he said a smug look on his face. Carrie stood there a blank look on her face. "Firstly, the young fernandez is to wed malus correct?" Alucard asked. "Yes what of it" malus asked.

"Nothing really only that she would wed malus, not dracula" alucard said a matter of faculty. "What does that have to do with anything" carrie asked "besides dracula is dead" she stated. "Are you sure" alucard asked looking at carrie. "Of course I killed him myself" carrie said with annoyance. "He still lives, if you must know the man you marry has two faces this innocent one and one of evil" alucard said pushing some lose strands of silver hair out of his face. Carrie looked blankly not really getting anything. "I make you man and wife you are now married so there" duo said sticking his tongue out at alucard. Alucard rolled his eyes, "What is going on" carrie said getting really angry at every ones behavior. "If you must know carrie then I will tell you" malus said. "Better yet let me show you"

Malus stepped back a ways then he concentrated, a white light then surrounded him, it was so bright every one had to cover there eyes, when it faded away there stood malus in his true form the form of dracula. Carrie opened her eyes and gasped she looked and there standing in the place of her newly wed husband was different looking man with long black hair, he wore the same clothes which malus wore. "Who are you" carrie asked, "it is but I, your husband malus.. Or should I say dracula vlad tepes" malus said a sadistic smile on his face. Carrie shook her head and mouthed the words no. "Yes yes, it is true carrie, my love" dracula said. "You are not my husband, you are not malus and I don't love you" carrie said in a tone of disbelief and distress. "Ohh but I am your husband, we even made a binding contract already" "when, how" carrie asked. "When you said I promise to be your bride, that is when it happened" dracula said matter of faculty.

"No not true" carrie said tears forming in her eyes. "But it is carrie, you said so your self" alucard said. Carrie turned to him he shook his head "I can't help you now I am sorry" alucard said with sympathy in his voice. He turned and left pitying the girl deeply, but like he said he could not help her no matter what, they were already married.
