Trinity Blood: Rewired In The Blood

Chapter Six: To Heaven Hannah's Soul

The night of the burial:

Looking toward the sky many night loving Earthlings saw a large space ship land in the far distance. From the space ship a small handful of Mars colonists carried out Abel's beloved while the Crusniks followed.

The crypt was well lit with torches showing everyone the beautiful marble detail within. A small flowing moat, filled with goldfish, surrounded the center grassy area. After crossing the small ivory bridge Hannah's coffin was placed on the pyre provided under a cherry blossom tree.

All but Cain truly mourned for the loss.

"May Hannah rest in peace and find happiness with the angels," Agnes remarked kindly.

Back on the 'arc':

Lilith entered 02's room just as he was finished getting dressed, "Abel?"

He turned to her with dim eyes, "Lilith…what do you want?"

She hugged him tightly, "things will be alright…you'll see."

Tears were building in the young man's eyes, "my child is motherless and I'm unsure if I can truly provide for her. I'm just a child myself Lilith."

"I know sweetheart but you have Seth, Agnes, and, I if you're in need."

He began to sob, "I miss my wife-I miss her."

"I know. I miss her too," 04 replied soothingly.

SEVERAL YEARS LATER:

Many years had passed since Hannah's mysterious death but her memory had all BUT faded.

"Daddy!" called Asenath as she ran into the out-look room dragging her Paddington stuffed bear. Abel turned to her from the planet, "what is it? What happened?"

The five year old embraced him tightly, "I love you!"

A smile came over him, "I love you too."

"My birthday is tomorrow are we having a party?" asked the silver haired girl happily.

Her father replied merrily, "of course."

"Will everyone be there?!"

He nodded, "yes everyone will be there."

Jumping in excitement his daughter squealed, "I'm going to tell Dru! Oh! Will we have a party for her too?!"

Crusnik02 shrugged, "we'll see. It's up to Cain and Agnes."

"Ok!" screamed the little girl before taking off in high speed calling Drusilla's name.

The (now) twenty-two year old man shook his head in disbelief. It was hard to believe that his child was going to be six years old already and that his dearest had been gone that long.

Meanwhile:

"Dru! Drusilla!!!" called the little girl.

"In here Asenath," came her cousin's voice from within the playroom.

"Oh! There you are! My daddy is throwing me a birthday party!"

The child with strawberry-blond hair looked up from her rag doll, "cool."

"Is your mommy and daddy going to have a party too?!" asked the slightly older girl.

Her companion shrugged, "don't know. Don't care."

The child with flowing silver hair was shocked by her cousin's reply, "DON'T CARE?! WHY NOT?!"

"Don't like parties," came 08's reply.

Crusnik07 still couldn't believe her ears, "you're weird."

Cain's daughter took a deep breath before turning back to her doll. Abel's daughter sighed loudly, "then I'll tell your daddy."

"Ok," came the blond child's blasé reply.

Stamping her feet agitatedly 02's child left the room in search for 01, "Uncle Cain!"

Ten minuets later:

Cain turned to his niece, "oh…Asenath."

"Uncle Cain Drusilla doesn't want a party!"

"Oh?" he smiled before pulling a ring from his pocket, "here I have a present for you."

The girl's anger quickly subsided when she heard that, "what is it?!"

He got to his knees, "come here."

She approached him. The blond man handed her the ring, "I want you to have this ring as a token that we will one day marry."

The five year old smiled, "ok!"

After kissing her passionately and stroking her hair the oldest of the Nightroad brothers dismissed the child.
