I have decided to shut this fanfic down. I'm so sorry, but I can't continue with this. I've decided this for reasons very critical, so, if you want to know, keep reading. Please, I need advice.

Just Joking!

I will never disappoint you, my readers! Though you are probably disappointed of me (T-T) so, due to requests, I made Alucard and Layla "siblings". And, this chapter, unfortunately, doesn't contain Tigreal x Natalia. Yet.(-_-#)

So anyways, here ya go!

P.S. Sorry for having Alice's background story so bad. Especially here. Forgive me.

P.P.S I added a little Estes x Miya here. Why? They're both Moon Elves, why not ship 'em?

Freya's POV

I walked towards my room, and shut the door behind me immediately. I can't risk myself being caught with these.

Tears.

Yes. I'm crying. For the 10th time since we broke up.

I laid down on my bed, clutching a certain picture frame in my hand. It was probably taken by Miss Matchmaker, A.K.A Rafaela. It was her stalkerish picture of me and him hugging in the sunset bay.

"No." I said to myself and hid the picture in the closet.

I dried my tears and walked to the balcony outside my room. It was a cool night, enough to take away the scorching heat of the day. I stuck my head out, inhaling the fresh air of the night. All was perfect when a voice impeded me from continuing.

"So... did you fresh your mind up?" Rafaela hovered to me. She hugged me from behind, and gently stroked my hair.

"N-Not yet..." I mumbled at her. Rafaela was my very first friend. We treated each other as sisters. Being an angel, she chose to descend here and help us. Though the heroes her think that this is just fun and all, it totally isn't. There is a much more deep reason why this group was created.

"Well, we know that you were really heartbroken because of..." Rafaela stopped, knowing that she might rub salt on my wound. Still... I need a tougher image to put on. I only want to show this emotional side of mine only to her. I cannot afford other people knowing about this.

"No. If I was important to him, he would come here and get me back." I tried to reason out with her. "But he didn't."

"He might not, but I'm pretty sure he cares for you." Rafaela said as she picked up her staff. "You see him now? He wasn't the same as before. You should... you know... patch up things with him."

I stopped for a minute. Can I really patch up things with him?

"M-Maybe not now... not yet." I said before Rafaela patted me on the back.

"If that's your decision, then I have nothing against it. However," She turned before leaving. "Keep in mind that your heart speaks the truth. Follow it."

Alucard's POV

Layla really forced me a lot to do this. How you may ask? Let's take it back twenty years, three months, five hours, thirty minutes and twenty four seconds ago.

Flashback

Let me clear how Layla acts like that around me and others don't. When she was a kid, her hometown was ravaged by a supposed demon. A group of demon hunters, took me with them and came across a workshop. Partly because it's where the path took us, and partly because of the sound of a wailing girl.

"Papa!" I heard a girl cry from the workshop. I tapped my 'dad' on his hand, considering that it's the only part I can reach to get his attention.

"Why, Alucard?" He asked me. I pointed to the workshop.

"I think I just heard a wail from there."

"Let's check it out then." He said as he shoved away burning debris blocking the entrance. We walked into a room filled with lots of apparatus, and a board containing lots of scientific things that I don't wanna read. Damn, I don't know if it's just me or if this stupid author is just a lazy guy who can't even write a decent fanfic?!

Well... I'll go with the lazy thing. Whatever.

"Papa..." we turned to see a blue haired girl clutching a body in her tiny hands. Her hair was disheveled and tied in two pigtails. "Someone, help papa!"

My dad walk to the girl's dad and placed a finger on his neck to check for a pulse. However, dad sighed and shook his head, indicating that the man was dead. The girl cried and wept as she held her dead father in her arms.

"Please... papa..." She buried her face in his chest. I walked over to her and helped her up.

"Hey... it's okay. My parents were killed by demons too." I looked over to the sky. Under the burning horizon, the stars still sparkled. Reminds me of the song... wait, why am I imagining this?! Damn, I'm starting to hate this fanfic.

"Demons?" Her eye twitched.

"Yeah. You know the evil guys who go and smash everything they can?" I explained to her in the simplest way as possible.

"But... why would they attack?"

"They were attracted here." My dad said as he came from a room for investigation. "There is a strong malefic energy here. Malefic demons are sure to attack if they are to consume its powers and become stronger."

"Woah. So it means that this Malefic Energy... attracts demons?" I asked him. He nodded.

"However, I can't say if he's attacked by a demon or absorbed too much energy." He pointed to the corpse. "See, he doesn't even have any wounds."

I looked at it. He was lying down with eyes open, and no signs of a demon hurting him. The girl cried again and buried her face to her fallen father.

"Well, we can't do anything. I'm... sorry for your loss." Dad said before the other demon hunters came barging in.

"Captain! We have successfully slain the demons terrorizing the town. However, they still don't have the powers of the malefic energy." The hunter reported. "They are taken cared of, young lady."

"Shall we take our lave now, captain?"

"Uh..." Dad looked over to the girl, who was still over her father's corpse. "Can we at least help this girl clean up?"

"As long as our schedule permits." The member looked at a piece of paper. "By far this is actually our last mission and we have time to spare."

"Okay. We'll help you clean this place." I told her. She happily beamed and stood up. Soon, everything is done. It was time to say goodbye. As much as I wanted to stay... we can't.

"Well, I guess our job here is done. Alucard, we'll be taking our leave now." My father motioned for me to come. Before I left, I turned to the girl first.

"Hey. Never caught your name."

"Um... Layla." She smiled at me.

"Alucard."

End of Flashback.

Ever since then, we started to visit her in the lab, even going with her to beat some demon butt. From thereon, we became friends. We became siblings.

"I'm sorry, Alice." I said and looked down, making sure it was "real" though it's not. I hate her. So much. I considered vampires as the worst type of demons. A vampire, no matter what, is always a vampire. I looked her in the eye and saw it wit doubt and disbelief. Oh no. Plan failure, plan failure! Abort mission!

"U-um... o-okay...?" Was all that she can say. "Can I please... well... go to my room now?"

"S-sure. Good Night." I told her and left off. Okay, now I have no debts with Layla right now. But... something doesn't feel right. I don't know, but seems like I'm having a bad premonition again... whatever.

I walked back to my room, only to see Yun Zhao there. I rolled my eyes at the sight of the blood-stained (thankfully not stinky) boy in my room. I will seriously kill him if he dares touch the artifacts I brought back from hunting.

"How many times do I have to tell you to not enter my room uninvited!" I practically pulled my white hair in frustration. He gave me off a cheeky grin anyways.

"Yeah but Rafaela told me to." He said and walked over to the door. "C'mon, let's meet the new guys."

New heroes huh? That is a very bad excuse to barge in my room. Idiot.

"Let's get this over with." I rolled my eyes and went out with him to the main hall.

"Hello, my friends." I heard a sudden gentle voice. A flash of light surrounded the room and revealed a young elf. He donned a blue armor with golden trimmings, boots and a blue cape adorned his back. He carried a book with him, that apparently doesn't have any content.

"My name is Estes. The Moon Elf king." He bowed slightly at us. A king? Nice to be working with a royalty after all.

"Your highness!" Miya suddenly appeared out of nowhere and bowed in front of the Estes. "What could you be doing here? What of the Emerald Glades?"

"I have heard of your valiant heroism, Miya. In truth, I..." he paused for a little and scratched the back of his head a bit. Wait a minute... did he just... blush? Good... never knew kings blush at female warriors.

"Wanted to meet you in person." He finally set off a sigh.

"Oh um... I never thought that my king would like to meet me." She silently blushed. "Anyway, it's about time we have introduced you, your highness."

"Call me Estes. I am working with you so... uh... no need for formalities." He said. "I would like to know about your friends."

"Alucard." I introduced myself. Soon, everyone did the same. Until she came.

"I suppose you are familiar with me, Moon Elf King." A familiar girl said. Guess who? Alice. She looked down. Meanwhile Estes brow furrowed. His eyes lightened to the point that it glowed like the moon.

"You!" He screamed and got ready to fire a beam of moonlight, but was soon stopped by Miya, who was crying. Why?

"Please. Hold your ground, Estes." She said with Tears in her eyes. "She has atoned for her sins."

"What madness is this, Miya? Why are you protecting that beast?" He gnashed his teeth at Alice. "Have you also been seduced?"

"W-what? No! Your highness..." Both Miya and Estes blushed. "I w-will never be!"

"Then explain this!" He said, still pointing at Alice. "Did you forget what she did to us?"

"Please. I will never forget my brother." Miya silently sobbed. "At first, I loathed her in every way, but seeing she had changed... I forgave her."

"And how did you forgive that easily?"

"Because it will be also what my brother will do!" Miya cried, raising her voice at her own King. "She's innocent! She was just manipulated by the Abyss Queen! She never wanted to do it herself!"

"But-"

"Let me explain this." Alice interrupted. "But I need to talk to you privately."

Alice's POV

"So, are you planning to say fanciful excuses?" Estes raised a brow at me. We are at the rose garden, so it's very hard for people to even be here,

"No." I sighed one more time, knowing to have relieve that memory again. "You see... I was the daughter of the King of the vampires. Everyone knew I will be his successor. However, seeing what they did to humans and elves in some hunts, I... started to hate them. I refuse to drink blood. I loathed everything."

"Then how did you end up as the Blood Queen anyway?"

"When my father wanted me to kill this human he caught from the hunt, I refused." She smiled a bit. "He was still a child back then. Only his white hair (Damn, you know who I was talking about) stood up among us within the cavern. However, I pitied the child... he cannot even see his parents..."

"So... what did you do?"

"We escaped together. Our little bodies can fit anywhere, so it was easy. However, their sense of smell cannot be matched. They tracked the scent of the boy with me. It was a good thing we have ran to the forest when they started to follow us." I said again, before tears started rolling down my cheek again.

"I let the boy escape, but... I was caught. My father, disappointed at my weakness, discarded me as his own daughter. They locked me up in a dungeon cell, and beat my small body to a pulp. Then my father came in. He..." Tears continue to roll down my eyes. "Planed to execute me for treachery against the vampires. However, something in me triggered that day. I actually don't know, all I remember is seeing everyone lying down on the floor."

"So how did you be bad when you turned against your own kind?"

"That is exactly what attracted the Abyss Queen to me. She saw that I turned against my own kind and considered it as a potential to lead the vampire army. Hence, I became the Blood Queen." I looked down. "I was captured, trained and eventually, placed under mind-control to prevent further resistance. I lead many expeditions. Then, I was captured and imprisoned by the humans. However in prison, the humans taught me something about life... and hearing that... it gave me hope."

"And how did you end up here in this resistance?"

"After I have broken free from the Queen's control, the jailers decided to set me free. Then, I joined this, vowing to protect humankind and other races we have ravaged in atonement for our sins." I continued again. "I'm sorry. I never was in the right mind that time. I never meant to kill young elves... especially Miya's brother..."

Estes sighed. "It's okay. You have atoned for your sins tenfold."

"But I—"

"I look forward working with you, Alice." Estes said as he lead me back to the dormitory. One thing, he was smiling by the moonlight.

And that ends it!
