Bismarck paced in front of the study fireplace. His uneasiness could not be calmed.

And frankly, Narcissa was getting nauseous.

"Could you stand still for a minute?" she asked, almost begging him to stop. Bismarck paused and looked at her.

"I get jittery when I'm nervous," he said.

"What made you nervous?" she asked.

"I felt a surge of power just a while ago. It's evil and growing," he sighed. "It came from a vampire."

"What kind?" Narcissa asked worriedly.

"Level four," he grimaced. "Almost as powerful as a full blood but not without weaknesses."

"But he is born a vampire," she asked.

"That does not determine one's worth," Bismarck said.

"What does?"

"Nobility is in the deeds of one who is sincere. And the vampires of Voldemort war NOT noble."

"What now?" Narcissa smiled sadly.

"We wait."

"We are running out of time," she pointed out.

"I know," he sighed. "But that's all we can do."

"I hate waiting," she said. Bismarck suddenly gazed onto the fireplace and stepped back.

"We won't wait for long," he said as he shielded her. Narcissa was confused but trusted him.

Suddenly, a noise from the fireplace got her attention but Bismarck held her head on the nook of his shoulder.

A grumble and a crash made Bismarck cringe at the impact it created.

"Are we here?" a strained voice of a girl said. Bismarck turned around to face his guests.

"Welcome to Angel Sanctuary," he smiled as the four figures sprawled on the floor.

"We're here," the one beneath the girl said in confirmation.

"Why didn't you use the front door?" Bismarck asked the boy.

"We were in a rush," the boy said.

"Truly," Bismarck smiled. "From what?"

"A vampire named Drakul," the man said. Bismarck scowled at the name.

"What happened, Ally?" Bismarck asked.

Alucard helped Gabby stand and dusted her off.

"The Ivories did not destroy those vampires," he said as he glared at Bismarck. "Why?"

"I had just found out that they have the Sarcophagus of Lamia," Bismarck sighed. "I was careless."

"Careless enough to leave this?" Alucard gave him the Ivory Salvation which he caught easily.

"Very careless," Bismarck said. "But I was preoccupied with certain things at that time."

"Like?" the redheaded male said.

"Like trying to stay alive," Bismarck said.

"Bill, Please behave," the platinum haired woman said. Obviously she knew how to push his buttons.

"Could we discuss this in a more appropriate manner?" Narcissa asked as she smiled at their guest.

"She's right," the redhead said. "I'm sorry Fleur."

"Lilies or Roses?" Gabby asked Alucard.

"Lilies," he smiled. "Definitely."

"Am I missing something here?" Bismarck asked.

"We're just planning their wedding," Gabby teased.

"Really?" Bismarck seemed amused.

"Could we get back at the subject at hand?" Bill was getting irritated.

"I thought this was the subject at hand," Narcissa giggled.

"Be that as it may," Alucard smiled. "We still need something against the second gens."

"Second gens?" Gabby asked.

"Second gens are what we call developed vampires," Bismarck said. "Stronger that ordinary vampires."

"What are you called?" Gabby asked Alucard.

"Lamia," he sighed. "The first generations."

"Forgive my manners," Bismarck smiled. "I am Bismarck Fuhrer, keeper of the sanctuary. This is Narcissa, the mistress of the sanctuary. Whatever you need, you may ask us."

"Mistress?" everyone was confused, including Narcissa.

"Since when?" she asked.

"Since you came," Bismarck said.

"The mistress of the sanctuary is chosen by the sanctuary," Alucard said. "You are the second to earn the title."

"Second?" Narcissa asked.

"The first was named Shilana Valina," Bismarck said. "Anyway, I already developed the perfect thing. Gentlemen, if you would follow me," the boys followed Bismarck leaving the women confused.

"Men," Fleur sighed.

"Despite their flaws, we can't get enough of them," Narcissa smiled. Both girls agreed.

"Where are we going?" Bill asked.

"The dungeons," Alucard said.

"Dungeons?"

"It used to be," Bismarck explained. "Now it's the weapons and armament development lab."

"And what can we expect?" Bill asked.

"A solution," Bismarck said as he opened a rusty old door and entered the room.

Bill and Alucard looked at each other, confused but followed him in.
