Me: (grins weakly) uh hey all, sorry for not updating any faster, my brain was dead for a bit and I really needed to catch up on sleep and shit.

Zuranna: you can stop ranting now, no one cares.

Me: you're so nice!

Zuranna: (grins)

Me: (sighs) anywho... enjoy, though keep in mind, I have started right where I left off and all.

"Answer me vampire!" barked Integra as her patience was wearing thin for this vampire queen. Seras hearing Ty's sigh looked over at the wolf as he looking at her gave a small crooked smile. "this is going to take a while..." he grumbled with a yawn following swiftly after. Seras sighing watched the two woman as Integra clearly annoyed and Zuranna merely grinned. "in that case..." Ty watched the young girl as she began digging into one of the many bags from earlier pulling out a few lumps of bundled up clothing. Ty smiling looked at her as she rose to her feet. "might as well... we're stuck here until these two work out their differences." He spoke as Seras nodding headed for the bathroom unnoticed by anyone else.

Taking in the many scent of soaps and different hair conditioners strewn about. Seras sighing locked the door and began to slip out of her ravaged uniform. Within minuets, the girl stood there watching herself in the mirror enjoying the sight before her. Wearing loose black pants with black steel toed boots hidden underneath the leggings. A thick two and a half inch wide black leather belt with a simple silver rectangle buckle hung through the belt loops to the front of her form holding the slacks up. With a near skin tight black tank top, Seras sighing unfolding the last lump of clothing held the coat up for her red eyes to examine it. She had fallen in love with the coat when she and Zuranna had first seen it.

Smiling Seras swung the coat behind her and rising her arms felt the cool cloth slip over them and coming to rest onto her shoulders, and with swift fingers, the girl drew it shut over her body letting it hug her form. The coat was a blue black with three two inch wide cloth straps buckling tightly on her front with similar silver metal rectangular buckles. Two thick chains hung on Seras's left side from the confines of her pocket to the back that had five similar buckles like the front yet smaller, running up her back. With a wide collar much like Alucard's, on her upper arms right by the shoulders hung two more cloth strap buckles same size as upon her back. Running her hands down the smooth cloth felt it run over her bare palms as a small grin curled on her lips. Seras with a small laugh looked back up to the mirror and blinking... fell back hard with a frightened yelp as she whipping around struck her back hard on the counter top. Uncaring of the pain shooting up her back, Seras met red eyes with her own. "M... Master..." She whispered weakly as the man in red looked down at her with a crooked grin upon his lips baring his fangs.

"you are mistaken dear Seras..." Seras's breath froze up in her undead body as he suddenly right in front of her with no more then two inches apart, peered down at her. With his grin broadening and red eyes shining with his wicked enjoyment to her fear of him, more so then before his previous actions. His hand shot out and encased Seras's face within his gloved palm. Forcing her eyes to his own as he grinning even more, drew his face closer making the tips of their noses barely touch. "I am no longer your master." the man crooned, the breath brushing past her face sent chills down Seras's spine as she weakly watched him with her red eyes with her face blazing just as red. Seras struggling gave a small cry for Alucard to release her as she rose her hand up to push him away.

The girl's eyes went wide as his hand sliding from her face... both reached forth and grabbing her shoulders roughly. The man grinning with his fangs bared, swung Seras around. With a loud cry of pain escaping her lips, Seras's back made rough contact to the tile wall between the counter and toilet. With his deep chuckle echoing off of the bathroom walls, his tight grip remained on Seras's shoulders as her fearful eyes were locked with his own wickedly dancing ones. "you and I are equal in all aspects of power; you no longer serve me Seras." His words seemed to hiss past her face. Seras swallowing weakly, dared to fully look into his eyes and ignore the cruel grin upon his lips. "Then... why are you still here... you're free from Sir Integra's hold, you no longer need to deal with me, so why are you-" Seras's voice abruptly stopped as his chuckle seemed to vibrate through her very form. Drawing his face close way beyond her comfort zone, Alucard's red eyes bore into hers. "Because..." the vampires flinched as there was a loud rap on the bathroom door.

"If you two are done doing whatever it is in there... get out here... we are going to move to another location." Zuranna's muffled voice spoke from the other side of the door. Seras blinking looked weakly up at Alucard as he having fallen away continued to look down at her. "another location?" she murmured, Alucard merely grinning faded from sight and Seras weakly scooping up her bundled up torn up uniform under her arms, left the bathroom. Upon emerging into the main living space, Seras saw everyone standing around discussing of how to move the coffins without being noticed. Seeing Alucard standing nearby in the shadows, Seras sighing went over to her own coffin as Ty still sat there with a bored look upon his face. Stuffing her uniform within her coffin, the young vampire sighing sat down beside the wolf gaining a sideways glance from him. Smiling slightly, he looked back to the two women as they were speaking rather properly then earlier. "So... where are we going?" Seras murmured, Ty's left ear twitched as he sighing rubbed his eyes. "to the catacombs underneath the city." The wolf murmured.

Seras just looked at him, "Catacombs... I never knew there were any down below the city." She asked. The wolf chuckling looked at her with gentle eyes. "it's the whole reason... not a single human knows of them, and if anyone did run across them, they some how always 'disappear' that very day or night..." he spoke. Seras itching her head sighed and looked at the two woman as they chattered about something.

"So... then why are there catacombs?" she murmured. The wolf sighing shrugged as he lazily itched his chest from underneath his shirt "it was placed there for when those vampires that were truly respected do end up being silenced... their ash's or most of the ashes are gathered and placed inside... their powers giving power and protection to those catacombs... with this power and protection, vampires that wish to regain their lost energy or mend from wounds or life itself may go down there to sleep, heal, live... though you never want to live there for to long, unless you're the first vampire or a queen to near same rank in power..." the wolf chuckled as he with a bored tone to his form, fiddled with his right ear.

Seras though eyed him "why?" she asked gaining his golden yellow eyes upon her red. With a small laugh, I sighing watched his queen once more. "anyone who goes down there long enough gets their power drained and falls into a dormant slumber... it was a protection placed on the catacombs to keep out those who do not need or wish to mend... the catacombs will never be abused because of that protection... ah finally... are we ready to head out then?" Ty asked as Zuranna headed over to them with a grin on her lips.

With a nod of her head, Zuranna sighing looked at Seras with a cocky smirk and ignoring the girl's blush looked at Ty. "stuff those bags in both my coffin and Donovan's... I am going to phase them down to the catacombs... Old bat, you best do the same with your own coffin and Seras's." the woman spoke as she rubbing her hands together rose went to the two coffins as Ty hurriedly stuffed then with the bags. Kneeling down, Zuranna's eyes fell half shut and resting her hands on either coffin... in a blink of an eye they were gone from sight freeing up much space in the room.

Seras with surprised eyes looked over to her former master seeing his coffin was already gone and... the girl cried out loud as her rear smashed hard onto the ground with her coffin having faded from beneath her. Hearing the dark amused chuckle, Seras glanced over seeing Alucard standing there smirking cruelly. Zuranna sighing nodded and stood tall... "with that done... let us sign out of here and go out... we must go on foot since we cannot phase into the catacombs... another protection Ty didn't tell you of, anyone who phases through instantly gets swallowed up... now... shall we?" the queen asked as she eyed the group.
