Seras had sat down and talked with Alucard for hours on end. She introduced him to her protectors and reintroduced him to Walter who shared his story with him.

Alucard smiled at Seras and placed a hand on her head. "I'm proud of you," he said.

Happiness and love exploded from deep within her stomach as she heard that.

"So what brought you here, Seras?" Vlad asked.

"Well, I heard about this gathering to discover the true No-Life Queen and my people thought it best I go and claim 'my title' as they put it."

Vlad's eyes widened in surprise. "You're here to participate?" He asked.

Seras blushed. "If that's okay with you."

"You do know that the vampiress that comes out on top will become my queen, yes?"

Seras nodded, still blushing. Alucard laughed as he patted her cheek.

"When did this crush form, Police Girl?" He asked.

Seras looked like a tomato. "m'tm b'fr u lft," Seras mumbled.

Alucard looked at her in amusement and her protectors giggled and chuckled at her embarrassment.

"What was that? I didn't quite catch that," Alucard teased.

"I said sometime before you left!" Seras yelled before blushing and looking away.

Alucard placed a hand on her cheek.

"I'm flattered," he spoke softly.

They were interrupted by a knock on the door. "My lord? Dinner is ready," Camilla called through the door.

Vlad stood and Seras felt disappointment flood her body. That bloody Camilla! Seras stood and followed him out. Everyone sat at the dining table. Camilla and Ileana took the chairs by Vlad's sides and Anna took the chair at the end of the table that sat across from him. Seras was somewhere in the middle between an old, slippery pervert and a hating male vampire. Their protectors couldn't join them at the table so Walter, Tatiana, Mia, Petru and Virgil stood behind her while Helena walked the gardens.

As they were eating, Seras conversed with the vampiress across from her when she felt a leg graze her own. The perverted old man on her right grinned but Seras kept her eyes on Isabella and ignored him completely. Not liking the fact that he was being ignored, he ran a hand up her leg. Seras turned to him.

"Please stop," Seras spoke, her voice angelic, hiding her shortening temper.

He only grinned and continued to run his hand up her leg. Seras kept her gaze with him and he was pulled into her mind where she showed him her deadly massacres and sitting atop piles of bodies as she rid England of all evil. Her eyes glowed crimson and her shadow arm flaring viciously around. She raised her hand and in it, was the sleaze ball's head, her thumb through his eye, causing the blood to trail down his face and drip at his sliced neck. Seras licked it up and smirked wickedly before she released his mind.

Coming back to reality, he started screaming and fell off the chair, scrambling away from her.

"Y-You monster!" He screamed.

Seras resisted the urge to stalk him and play with him a little as her master did. He passed on more than just his power, but his insanity and sadist and masochist streak. Seras gave him a wicked smile and he screamed again.

"What do you think you're doing!" Camilla spat. "It's forbidden to stir up trouble at the Lord's Table!"

"I was merely asking him to stop touching me. When he continued, I showed him why not to start with me. I didn't touch him or stir up trouble. Now master, may I be excused? I feel the unyielding urge to scrub myself raw of him," Seras spoke, turning to Vlad who was glaring at the man.

"Go ahead, Seras. See me in my study afterward."

Seras stood and bowed. "Of course, master."


A few days later…

"The first test, instincts," Michael announced. "What make a great vampire are the instincts they get. You all had strong instincts to change your children. For what reason, we don't care. We're going to test your children and the power you pass on to your children. It will be an all-out fight between every candidate's children. You may form allies if you wish but only one team will win. If that team is too big, they will have to battle one another."

"This sounds fun," Walter said, smirking.

After Seras counted, there were twenty three vampiress's running for the title as No-Life Queen. Seras looked to Elaina who nodded and then to Isabella who nodded as well. Well, they have an alliance. There were two other alliances formed between the remaining twenty. Elaina had brought ten of her children and Isabella brought eleven. Combined with Seras's children, they had a team of twenty-seven.

"I don't want to fight," Isabella's youngest, about seven whimpered.

"I'm so sorry Stephan, I didn't know they would have my children battle," Isabella said sadly.

She knew Stephan would be targeted. As a matter of fact, most of her children were exactly that. Children. She brought them to show them of the world she originated from.

"I'm so sorry," Isabella whispered again, holding them to her.

The oldest had to have been about seventeen. Seras walked over to them with hers as well as Elaina.

"Don't worry, Isabella," Seras tried to comfort her. "My children will protect yours," Seras stated, looking at her children who all nodded.

"That will be a problem," Elaina stated. "The field is large. They have to find each other first."

Isabella's children whimpered.

"We will do our best," Helena promised. "I am gifted with the power of protection. Once you are with me, I will create a barrier to protect you all while those who want to fight, can."

They all nodded and soon, they were all taken away. Seras and the other vampiress's watched from Vlad's castle.

"The rules have been changed. If you're still standing after an hour, your mistress is still in the running for the title of No-Life Queen."

"We all know Seras should be No-Life Queen," Mia stated. "Might as well eliminate as many of the opposition as we can."

"I agree. How about a competition of who can take out the most?" Walter asked, looking to Petru and Virgil.

"You're on," they declared.

"Begin!"

Isabella's children, who were a few kilometres away from Seras's sprinted for them. Some of them were taken down by the opposition and it only angered Seras and her children. Stephan screamed when someone jumped on him and grabbed his head. Before they could snap his neck, Walter's wires wrapped around them and sliced them into pieces. Only seven of Isabella's children remained.

"That makes one," Walter hissed.

"Hurry!" Petru yelled as he and the others got there.

Tatiana appeared and led them to Helena when someone landed in her way.

"Where do you think you're going?" She laughed.

She lashed out at Tatiana who easily blocked them. When she turned to the children, Tatiana was done playing nice. Glaring at the vampiress, her opponent dropped to the ground, writhing in pain. Mia came along and cut off her head. Tatiana successfully got the children to Helena who immediately put up a barrier around them. After the hour passed, only eleven of the vampiress candidates were still in since the others had lost all their children. Walter, Petru, Mia, Virgil and Tatiana came out covered in blood but smiling.

"I won," Walter laughed.

Petru huffed and Virgil only smiled in congratulations. Isabella turned to Seras and bowed before her.

"Thank you so much for protecting them. Even though I lost four of my children, there was nothing that could have been done for them so early in the battle. You kept true to your word and I am indebted to you."

Seras smiled at her kindly before raising her so she was standing.

"Think nothing of it. I'm only sorry that there was nothing more I could have done to protect those four that are lost to us now."

Isabella teared up and Seras hugged her.

"That's not fair!" Camilla yelled. "Your children had abilities!" She yelled.

"You have two children still alive, Camilla," Elaina spoke. "Why are you complaining for?"

"It's not our mistress's fault that we have powers," Mia snapped.

"You will show me respect!" Camilla yelled at Mia.

"I show respect to those who deserve it!" Mia yelled back.

Tatiana had to hold back Mia and Anna held back Camilla.

"Mia, calm down," Seras eased.

Mia did as she was told and turned from Camilla.

"The ones remaining are Anna, Camilla, Ileana, Seras, Isabella, Elaina, Elizabeta, Maria, Angelica, Sandy and Fortuna," Michael stated.

Seras smiled at her friends.

"Those of you who have failed, you must leave the country immediately and go back to where you came from."

Twelve grumbled and entered the castle to pack their things. The others celebrated with a dinner.
