Blood and Stars Drabbles
Prompt 2: Tears
The moon was high in the sky, pouring its slivery light down on its saddened princess. Tonight would have been when she and the girls celebrated Mamoru's birthday. She missed them all so much. "Why so sad, little princess?" She turned at the sound of Alucards voice, tinted with slight concern. She gave him a broken smile. "Tonight is the birthday of my once-love, Mamoru. He was the Prince of Earth, in another life. It is a reminder of the life I had to let go. The future I allowed to slip through my fingers for the sake of their lives." Tears slipped down her face as she turned back to watch the moon, and Alucard turned her back around to face him. He caught one of the tears with his finger, and licked it. "Bitter tears do not suit one as beautiful as you. Your choices enabled them to have normal lives. They are safe and happy. Isn't that what you wanted?" She nodded, with a small smile. They both looked up then at the silvery orb in the sky, and Serenity's tears dried.
