The women are getting worried. It had been two hours since the "boys" went out to fight the zombies. Fleur was biting her nails, unladylike albeit she felt necessary to ease her nerves.
Unfortunately, she's just giving herself a case of bad nails.
"It's too quiet," Fleur said as she paced the room. True. The bombardment seemed to cease.
"Is it over?" Gabby asked as she looked as the screen worriedly.
"Authorization to disengage fortress mode approved," the voice suddenly said.
"By who, Angel?" Gabby asked.
"By the Keeper," the voice that Gabby dubbed Angel said. Suddenly the shutters opened and all doors were unlocked. The door opened by itself and the sound of arguing echoed the halls.
"I told you it was an accident!" the pleading voice of Bismarck could be heard. Then, what was best described as the most disgusting thing they saw walked passed them.
Putrid, green and disgusting slime covered Bill and Alucard as they threaded pass the women. The women then turned to see Bismarck who was carrying his guns and every port in his "armor" was smoking.
"What happened?" Fleur asked worriedly. Bill turned around fuming.
"Mr. Trigger happy here SAVED our lives," he said in sarcasm.
"What happened?" Narcissa asked gently. Alucard merely shook his head and walked away.
"Ally?" Gabby called out. Not surprising, he stopped.
"Marck killed several basilisks out for us," his voice was hoarse and barely audible. He cleared his throat and walked away.
"Where are you going?" she asked softly.
"The same place I am," Bill said. "Bath."
"What exactly happened?" Gabby asked.
"Several basilisks came to attack us," Alucard said, his voice getting worse. Gabby was worried but he continued before she voiced her worries. "He emptied every ordnance he had on them. Unfortunately they weren't zombies."
"We get the picture," Narcissa sighed disapprovingly. "What's with you these days?" she asked Bismarck. He only smiled and shrugged.
"The new moon," Alucard said hoarsely. "Remember Halloween?" Both Veelas nodded in understanding. Narcissa was clueless of the conversation.
Seeing this Bill, although grossed out, explained.
"During the cycles of the moon, each of them gets kind of loony," he said as he tried to get some slime off of him. "This is Bismarck's time."
"I see," Narcissa smiled obliquely. "In any case, the sanctuary is no longer safe. They know we are here and will send for reinforcements... why is it cold?" She suddenly asked.
"The sanctuary changes location once its secret is compromised," angel explained.
"So where are we?" Fleur asked.
"Not where, when," Bismarck said as he held his head in pain. "The madness is gone."
"What do you mean?" Narcissa asked. Suddenly, Bismarck collapsed and with the weight of his equipment, he fell down hard. There was a disgusting splat from behind that made them turn around.
Alarmed, Gabby looked back only to see Alucard unconscious. Immediately, she went towards him and cradled him on her arms, not caring about the muck he was surrounded in.
"Ally?" she called softly as she tried to revive him. "Ally? Don't go."
Through his sleepy eyes, Alucard smiled and fell asleep. Gabby held him close to her bosom like cradling a child.
"Is it over?" Fleur asked as she and Bill helped Narcissa with Bismarck.
"It is not yet over," Gabby's voice changed and Fleur knew what it meant. "But it is nearing."
"Will they be fine, Lilith?" Fleur asked.
"It is now the yuletide season," Lilith said softly. "They were weakened by the sudden surge of the changing of the moons. They will be fine after a good rest."
"I hope so," Gabby said as she gently wiped the muck out of Alucard's face.
"I'll help you carry him," Lilith said as she carried Alucard, using Gabby's body, towards one of the rooms. Narcissa, Fleur and Bill only watched them leave.
"Are you prepared to have a brother?" Bill asked as he removed the twin gatling on Bismarck's arm.
"Yes," Fleur smiled as he looked at him.
***
Lilith had already left her as Gabby entered the bathroom. She was reluctant to remove Alucard's clothes but she needed to. Although the prospect of seeing him naked is rather tempting.
NO! her mind screamed. I must have composure. I will, NOT take advantage! But she still needed to clean him. She took out her wand and muttered a spell. All of Alucard's clothes stripped off of him and piled neatly onto a corner. But personally, she wanted to burn it.
Sighing, she then turned to face Alucard who was... staring numbingly as if trance at her.
It was the same look he gave her all those months ago when that Death Eater attacked her. It was the same sated look he had when she first saw him. Quiet, trusting and lost.
He was seeking for a path.
A path she had opened fro him once.
A path that he followed.
Still, she wanted another path to take with him. But she'll wait until she was of age.
Blushing, she drew up the water in the bathtub. Testing the temperature, she beckoned Alucard to enter, careful not to glance in his private area. Which was harder than ruddy hell.
Slowly and carefully, he entered the tub and just sat there. Sighing, Gabby took a sponge and gently washed all the grime away.
"What am I going to do with you?" she said softly as she squeezed the sponge above his head. "You're a mess." Alucard was silent.
Gabrielle looked at him lovingly and sadly when she continued the ablutions.
"I was worried," she said softly. "Even I know you would be fine, there's a part of me that was nervous. Ally, I was scared. I thought that I would never see you again. Ally..." she looked at him with pleading eyes. Alucard's eyes were empty, entranced.
Gabby's vision blurred as she tried to stop her tears. Inwardly, she cursed herself. She never wanted to cry. She never wanted to be weak. Especially to Alucard.
/I never wanted to be weak./ she said in her thought. She looked down as her tears flowed down. She didn't want to show him her tears.
A gentle caress touched her cheek and wiped her tear. His gentle fingers trailed the contours of her face and stopped on her chin. Lifting her head gently by the chin, Gabby's eyes opened to see him smiling, but his eyes were closed. His head turned to face her.
Alucard slowly took her free hand and placed it on his head. Giggling while sniffling her tears, she scratched his head lovingly and he sighed. Smiling, Gabby wetted the sponge and began to wash him again.
"I'm glad that you're safe," she whispered. Alucard opened his eyes making her gasp in surprise. Both of his pupils were amber. But despite this, Alucard kept his loving smile for her.
Seeing his smile, nothing else mattered.

Fleur sighed as she entered her room. It was grueling to have to carry Bismarck to his room, especially when Narcissa forbade Bill to come near him. After all, he stunk of decaying flesh.
Not that she minded but his stench does kind of irritated her delicate French nose. Sighing, she looked outside her window and found that snow was falling. Had they traveled one month in the future? It was only in the middle of November but angel had said that the sanctuary had traveled to conceal its location.
But where were they?
"Is it safe to come out?" she asked quietly.
"I think so," a voice suddenly interrupted her thoughts. Turning around, Fleur saw a freshly and thoroughly by the smell of him, bathed Bill Weasley wearing a loose shirt and a pair of khaki shorts.
Fleur blinked in confusion and surprise.
"Why are you in my room?" she asked slyly.
"I needed to talk to you," Bill said with a cryptic smile.
"Talk, huh?" she smiled as she removed her jacket and tossed it seductively on the chair. "I feel that I fail to see what we need to talk about." Bill smiled as he closed the door.
"It's about a challenge you issued back at my quarters," he said as he slowly walked closer.
"I though that issue was closed," Fleur blushed.
"I'm reopening the case," Bill smiled as he neared her. "There are some... confusing issues."
"Confusing?" she matched his smile. Suddenly her expression changed. She looked at him sullenly as she rested her head on his shoulder.
"I need to tell you something," she said softly. Bill slowly wrapped his arms around her and leaned his head on hers.
"I know," he said. "I have something in my mind that you need to know as well," he said. Fleur's arms wrapped lovingly around him.
Bill lifted her chin so he could gaze into her eyes. Staring back, Fleur was pleased that he was there.
She felt the heat of his body radiate as he hugged him tighter. He drank the scent of her hair although it had been a long day, still smelled like roses. Lifting her chin, Bill leaned slowly to her.
Their hearts raced as their temperature rose. Their mind grasping any semblance of logic. But nothing matter anymore other than the person in their arms.
Their lips met. Their passion increased. Their souls were shared
The night was young.
The night was theirs.

End of 22.

A/n: I finally finished reading The Order of the Phoenix. It took me less than twelve hours and now I'm a little woozy. I swear, the rate that the book increases... I wouldn't be surprised when the next would be at least a thousand pages long.
Anyway, I deliberately stopped the chapter where it is. I wanted your opinion. Should I leave the chapter as it is or should I write the... ahem... continuation of Bill's and Fleur's scene? I wanted to ask you because... well some part of it would not be suitable of people under the restricted age that I had placed in the story.
Anyway, please review. And thanks.
