Order 9: Overly Denotational Dishonest road
I stand in between my Seras and the Judas priest, shielding her nude body from his eyes and more importantly, his blessed blades. My face stoic, hiding any hints to the emotions that rage through me. It's always been a misconception that I was unable to feel emotions at all, be it only anger, hate, and disgust since the day of my capture by Abraham. All three of them are present now, but this girl I'm protecting had quickly added desire, lust, and possessiveness to that short list. Even now I can feel her worming herself through the thick walls I built around my barely beating heart in hopes of unlocking even more. She is special, Precious to me, and this once man, now monster in front of me is trying to take her away from me. I have all right to hate him, to destroy him. One thing is for sure, He won't leave this place alive. "I'm pleased to see you Judas priest. It saves me the difficulty of having to find you."
It is easy to see when Anderson hungers for battle, you can see his psychotic and violent side emerging. The way his face twists in that insane grin very much matching my own gives it away so easily. I should be careful with him though as he always has some tricks on his sleeve, And the angel girl is still so very vulnerable."Don't ye worry missy I shall destroy this monster and break his curse over ye." He talks as if it is me that threatens her! For a moment my stoic expression falters and I pull out my Jackal, emptying a clip into his skull. Instead of just regenerating like the wounds used to, green thorned stems grow from the holes caused by the bullets, pushing the empty shells out. Just proving how much of a monster this "Anderplant" has become. I finally caught his attention and he glares at me before rushing into my direction at inhuman speed. One of his fists collides with my face. With the hand I'm not using to hold my Jackal I grab his throat to lift him up and I grin at the uselessness of his petty attack. That is until I feel stems sprouting from his hand and creeping over my head. It takes a lot of strength to pull his hand off and throw him away. He will not defeat me. He lost that right the when he became a monster, it is always humans that defeat monsters. Still, This is interesting I admit.
I whip out both my Casull and Jackal and begin firing at random parts of his body. More and more of it becoming obscured by the plants creeping from every wound I inflict. This creature is absolutely disgusting, giving up his humanity is one thing, doing so for power is another. He is nothing better than the FREAKS I hunt. One more of his blessed bayonets sears past my head missing it by less than an inch, another heading for the spot between my eyes, I duck to the side only to feel the roots of his new "body" wrap around my ankles and pull me down, the thorns digging deeply into my flesh. A trap, what better could I expect from this pathetic fool? He has become a coward. Alright if he wants to fight this way, that is fine by me. "Releasing art control restriction, Cromwell approval is now in effect. Commencing limited power release until the target is completely silenced." Shadowsform all around me and the darkness in the basement thickens. Now he turns to my Seras as if she will save him from his inevitable destruction.
"Victoria, Child, don't ye see what kind o' monster he is? Ye don't belong with him young lass, ye're nothin' like him." Despicable, Is he actually trying to turn my bride against me? "Do ye remember me child? I be the one tha' brought ye to the infirmary tha' night ye parents died, do ye not remember wha' killed them?" I can smell something salty and I hear Seras' short sobs, damn the paladin for making her cry.. "Silence Judas priest! What are you trying to gain from making MY Seras cry? You were too late Anderson, she is mine now, you no longer hold any claim to her!" Anderson grins at me as if he had hoped for me to say that. "It be vampires tha' killed yer family dear, evil murderous creatures all o' them ye see how he thinks he owns ye lady, and ye ar' allowing one o' his kind ta take advantage o' ye?" She gets up and I can sense her anger, No way in hell the Judas pries has convinced her this easily! "You're right, Vampires are dark creatures, and I was born to hunt the darkness." Impossible! Have I been betrayed once again? I knew emotions can get you killed. The Judas priest's bayonets shine in the dim light emitted by his holy artifacts as he poises them to strike. I can kill him, but what of the angel girl? She has become my weakness, I don't want to have to take her life. So if I kill the priest I will have to suffer another life taken by a woman I care for.... No! Once was enough."Good lass, Now help me ta take this creature out so we can lift the curse upon ye." I see a rain of bayonets thrown at me. Is this my decision? To just let my rival beat me like this?
A sudden burst of light nearly burns my sensitive eyes out as the blades shatter against a large wall of divine energy ...Angelic powers? "Stop that Alex! It is true I follow the light, and I will stay true to that. I do hate the vampires that killed my parents, and I will kill all of them with my bare hands if I have to, but if you dare to lay a hand on this man, Then I am afraid you will be the one facing uneven odds because I will fight by his side."I turn around and see Seras floating in mid air. Her entire body aglow with a bright blue glow. Her eyes which would be red for any vampire using vampiric powers shine with a brilliant yellow light. So I was unsuccessful at my attempt to turn her after all. "Ar' ye siding with a monster like him? The foul daemon raped ye!" He tries to convince her again and I am glad to see his influence on her is next to none "That must have slipped my mind then, Last I checked I offered myself to him freely. Tell me Father Alex, what exactly makes you differ from him? Aren't you.." "A monster." I finish for her.
"I am sorry, Judas priest, Seems I win this one." I say grinning in triumph as I stand behind her and put my hands on her shoulders. I see the priest drop his weapons in defeat, it is strange to see my once powerful enemy so, sad and vulnerable... "I just wanted ta protect ye lass, ye would have made ae fine Paladin, it'be sad ta lose ye in the burning pits o' hell." I had enough of this nonsense, I raise my gun to his head to see him not making a move, How one little girl can do this to monsters like us amazes me, almost as if he welcomes death. "You need not fear for me paladin, if God had disapproved of my choice, you think he would have allowed me to keep my angelic powers?" What is she up to? "Please paladin, Leave in peace, and take your time to get things straight, I have no doubt in your will to serve the lord, but watch those that order you." He looks up at us, almost feral. "How dare ye doubt Maxwell? Lilith!" I can feel Seras sigh as Anderson takes a blessed blade in both hands and makes for us again. That fool. "So be it." Comes Seras' voice and another flash is all that's seen before every trace of the Paladin is lost.
Her breathing is ragged and uneven, whatever she did cost a lot of her power. "Did you kill the Judas priest Angel girl?" She shakes her head "No master, I just sent him back to the Vatican, he has to realize we are not his enemies, I feel his help can save the lives of many." She holds herself up against me "So tired..." There is only one thing I need to know. "You were supposed to be a draculina. Why are you still an angel?" She giggles and turns her head to show me a broad smile, made even prettier by the set of sharp teeth in her mouth. "Not completely." She chirps happily showing off her canines before resting herself against me. "It was truly a marvelous night tonight. Don't you agree Seras Victoria?" Her breathing pattern and soft snoring tell me she has fallen asleep and I smirk before dragging her still unclothed form to my bed. I lay her down and get in next to her, hugging her small frame against me. I take a deep huff of her scent and allow a slight smile of contentment to slip onto my face on that despite her initial resistance, she is now sleeping in my room, in my bed. In my arms. Exactly where she belongs. Is this how it always will be? An angel and a Vampire... Light and darkness, Heaven and hell. They say opposites attract, whoever said that was right.
