Alucard walked into his and Seras's room

Karmiina and Alucard teleported to the gardens. They began strolling around talking about what they've been doing lately, and reminiscing about old times. They laughed at the childish pranks they pulled on people. Eventually, they quieted down and began gazing at the stars. "Karmiina?" "Mmm?" she replied without removing her gaze from the sky. "Why did you leave that night?" Karmiina cleared her throat, "What are talking about, my dear?" "You know very well what I'm talking about," Alucard started getting angry. How could she pretend that she didnt' remember? "When I had made you my fledgling and you and I ran away. The very first night, or should I say the only night, you and I spent together. When you and I mated, for lack of better word. The next morning when I woke up, you were gone. I'd like to know what I did wrong that made you want to leave that after so many years of friendship." Alucard looked pretty creepy now that he was furious. Karmiina looked a bit scared. "It wasn't you Vlad, it was our actions that made me leave. I knew I wouldn't be able to look you in the eyes without thinking about what he had done." she whispered. "I wouldn't expect such a cowardly act from you Kara." Karmiina smiled solemnly at the use of her old nickname. "Why not Vlad? I think you have forgotten that it was always you who was the brave one. and I the coward. So why wouldn't you expect that from me?" Alucard frowned at this, "You weren't a coward." Karmiina laughed. Alucard lay back on the grass and let her laughter wash over him. He had missed it so much. "My dear, you looked like an adorable little child when you said that." A hint of laughter still in her voice. Alucard smiled his trademark grin. Karmiina merely smiled back.
