Hey again! I was going to try and update 'Amicus', but I had a shit night's sleep, and since I had already practically finished this chapter, I thought I'd work on this story instead and get this chapter published. I hope that you've all been doing okay, and thank you so much for your reviews and for following this story and adding it to your favourites. I'm so happy to see that so many of you are enjoying this story for far. There were a few things mentioned in reviews that I figured I would answer here, just in case anybody else needs this kind of clarification as well:

netherdragon1: That's a good point actually, and now that you mention it, I'm not too sure. I guess if anything, Integra calling Seras 'Police Girl' is more of a term of endearment in this story and the nickname has pretty much stuck for most people. I hope that helps clear things up for you?

Luine Mercury LWG: Regarding the girls' surname and where about in the future they're from, these are questions you're going to find out the answers to as the story progresses; I don't want to spoil things for you lol. Your musings were pretty interesting to read, and I hope that you continue to enjoy the story so you can find out the answers.

But yeah, overall, if you have a question you want me to answer, just let me know in a review and I'll try my best to answer them in the next chapter as long as it doesn't involve spoilers. Thanks again for all of your wonderful feedback!


4: Little Monsters


"Argh! We've been marooned!" Luna yelled as the two girls practically swam through the large bathtub. Bubbles stuck to their skin, and it would have been comical if it wasn't for Seras trying to keep them still long enough so that she could give the two girls a proper wash. Lily once again slipped out of her grasp as she tried to squirt some shampoo onto the top of her knotted blonde hair.

"Help! The kraken is trying to grab me!" Lily squealed as she swam towards her sister.

Seras' eyebrow twitched in irritation. Though deep down, she was actually finding listening to them play rather amusing. They seemed to have very active imaginations. And at least they seemed to have perked up compared to what they were like a few minutes ago.

"Not to worry ye land-lover! Captain Luna will save ye!" Luna proclaimed as she grabbed some bubbles and smeared them onto her chin, trying to make them into the shape of a beard.

Lily froze. "How come you get to be the captain? I want to be the captain!"

The distraction was all Seras needed to strike. She grabbed hold of Lily's wrist again and pulled her towards the side of the tub where the young vampire was waiting with a bottle of her strawberry scented shampoo. Luckily, the twins' hair was already wet from all of their ducking and diving into the water. Lily shrieked and tried to yank herself free, but Seras managed to hold on this time, finally becoming used to the strength that they possessed. They were most definitely stronger than your average human, Seras had observed.

"No, I'm the captain!" Seras declared, finally managing to squirt some shampoo on top of Lily's head. "And I say it's time to scrub you two clean."

"Help! The kraken inked on me!" Lily cried out, grunting in annoyance as Seras began to massage the shampoo into her long hair and scalp.

Luna giggled. "Argh! Now there be no one to challenge me authority!"

"I wouldn't be so smug if I were you," Seras replied before smirking at Luna. "You're next."

Luna gulped and thrashed as far away from Seras as possible, ducking under the water so that only her nose and eyes were visible above the surface, making her look very much like a crocodile waiting for its prey. Seras continued smirking to herself as she glanced back down at the other trouble maker. Lily seemed to have given up fighting her off, and now sat still with a grumpy look on her face as the top of her head became engulfed in suds. Seras then gently tipped the girl's head back and cupped as much water in her hand as possible to rinse the shampoo out of Lily's hair. The two were already looking so much better than they did earlier. The water revealed exactly how pale their skin actually was, and they almost blended in with the white bathtub.

Within a few more moments, Seras was finished with Lily's hair, and the little girl sighed with relief when she was finally released by the other blonde vampire. She puffed out her cheeks in annoyance before swimming away and playing with the bubbles again. The draculina then turned her attention towards Luna, who was still stubbornly submerging herself in the water, her red eyes narrowing on Seras as if daring her to try anything. Seras merely rolled her eyes before reaching for the dark haired girl who began kicking up a fuss, thrashing around in Seras' arms.

"No!" Luna cried out in defiance.

"It's only shampoo," Seras responded incredulously.

"Leave my hair alone!" Luna growled, still trying to pull her arms out of Seras' grip.

Seras could feel herself becoming more and more impatient. What was so bad about having their hair washed? Why couldn't they just be well behaved all of the time instead of throwing tantrums at the most random of things? Ugh, being a parent was such hard work. Why would Seras ever subject herself to this in the future?

"Stop throwing a paddy and it'll all be over in a few minutes," Seras grunted as Luna continued to struggle.

"No!"

Lily sighed in annoyance as Luna's thrashing splashed water all over her. She pushed herself further away from the ongoing battle, though she watched out of the corner of her eye with clear amusement. Luna continued to wrestle against Seras, holding the older vampire's arm that held the shampoo bottle as far away from her as possible. Seras' frustration boiled over into anger.

"Enough, Luna!" she snapped. "You're having your hair washed whether you like it or not!"

"No!" Luna snapped back. Seras then froze as the body of the little girl in her arms seemed to blur and disappear before her very eyes. But before the draculina could start to panic, she looked down to see a very aggressive black wolf pup growling up at her before leaping out of the bath, shaking her fur dry, and then running out of the room. Seras blinked in shock before Lily giggled and did the exact same thing, only her fur was white and glistened in the light as she chased after her sister.

Seras forced herself to snap out of her disbelieving state and began chasing after them. What exactly did they just do? Oh shit! What if this change was permanent? What if they were stuck as wolves forever? What exactly was Seras supposed to do?!

The sight of the pups chasing each other around her chamber caused her to freeze momentarily, almost as if she didn't believe what she was seeing. And she didn't believe what she was seeing. They were wolves but… but how? They could shapeshift? Seras was vaguely aware that her master could shapeshift and that he had a dog/wolf familiar thingy. Ugh, she really didn't know what to think. This situation was way beyond her understanding and it felt like she was having to deal with all of this blindfolded.

The two pups jumped over Seras' coffin before colliding with one of her chairs and knocking it over. This didn't seem to faze the two of them though as Lily leapt forward and clamped her little teeth down on Luna's tail. Luna growled in response, spinning around so that she could bite her sister's ear in return. They both made whimpering sounds as they fought, and Seras managed to unfreeze herself so she could dash forward to try and grab them.

The little wolves saw it coming, and they both scattered out of the way just in time, causing Seras to lose her balance and smash her head against the stone ground. She moaned in pain, but tried to ignore the throbbing of her skull as she turned back around to glare at the twins. Both of their tails were wagging as they played tug-of-war with one of Seras' shirts that she had left lying around. The fabric made a tearing sound before Seras once again dove forward and snatched it off them, causing the twins to scarper again.

"This is getting old!" Seras growled out impatiently as she inspected her uniform shirt. Integra and Walter were going to kill her if her uniforms got ruined and they had to pay to get some more made for her. She imagined that custom made uniforms were not cheap in the slightest – especially for a secret organisation. "Change back now!"

The pups whimpered at her angry tone, but showed no sign of following the vampire's instructions. Seras huffed before panic began to take over again. What if they really were stuck like this? Surely not though, right? Changing into that form seemed so easy for them, so it had to be possible for them to change back? Just how many more weird powers did these two girls possess? Seras could already feel a headache beginning to pound away at her skull.

While Seras was distracted by her thoughts, the twins took off again, running up the walls and defying gravity as they clung to the ceiling and ran around as easily as they had done on the floor. Seras looked up with wide eyes, her heart in her mouth as she tried to remain beneath them in case they fell. She held her arms out, yelping as the pups barked down at her in what seemed to be their version of laughter. Seras jumped in an effort to grab hold of one of them, but they easily darted out of the way. Her vampire powers would certainly be useful right now, but annoyingly, they only seemed to activate when she was in a stupid blood-rage or when her master had pushed her to her limits. She could really use a super jumping ability right now.

"You know that threat of grounding still stands," Seras warned, trying to keep her temper under control.

This caused Lily to freeze and she looked down at Seras with her ears flattened against her head. Seras then gasped as the white wolf fell from the ceiling and landed in her arms, changing back into her human form. Seras released a sigh of relief. So they could change back. Lily's body was still dripping wet and she began shivering in the cold basement air.

Giving one last warning glare at Luna, Seras grabbed a towel and quickly wrapped Lily within its soft cotton. The little girl kept her head down as she guiltily avoided Seras' gaze. Once Lily was pretty much dry, Seras glowered back up at Luna who growled at her in response. Seras raised her eyebrows at this, but stood her ground, getting tired of this stupid game.

"Luna, I'm warning you!" Seras threatened again. "Get down here right now, or there will be serious consequences!" Seras cringed at how much she sounded exactly like her own mother in that moment. It caused a painful stabbing sensation in her chest which she quickly shook off. She had to stay focused.

Luna didn't move.

"She hates people messing with her hair," Lily sighed out.

"Luna, I only want to wash it. It needs to be cleaned," Seras did her best to explain.

Again, Luna refused to move.

Muttering under her breath, Seras moved to stand under where Luna was still clinging to the ceiling.

"This is your last warning, Luna," Seras said firmly. "I'm going to give you to the count of three, in which I expect you to let go and let me wash your hair. One… two…"

There was a knock at the door which caused Seras to growl in frustration. The door creaked open and Walter entered, holding some neatly folded child sized clothes in his arms before he finally looked up and took in the scene before him. Lily was stood to one side wrapped in a towel, Seras was stood in the middle of the room looking frantic and pissed off, and when Walter looked up, he caught sight of a tiny black wolf standing upside down on the ceiling. The wolf's eyes zeroed in on the door, but luckily, Seras had quickly caught on to the little wolf's plan and snatched her out of the air as she tried to make a run for it.

Luna fought against her, but Seras managed to keep her grip, ignoring the teeth and claws that dug into her skin. She carried the squirming wolf back over to the bathtub and held her over the water. Luna shrieked, digging her claws into Seras' wrists and clinging on for dear life. Seras tried to place her in the tub, but Luna then gripped onto the side of the bath, refusing to budge, no matter how much Seras pressed down on her body.

Seras blew a stray strand of hair out of her face in exasperation. "I can either wash your hair, or your fur; it's your choice."

The little wolf glared at her before seeming to finally decide that this was one battle that she could not win. Her form shimmered and blurred again, becoming human shaped once more as she let herself fall back into the water, glaring at nothing as she crossed her arms over her chest, but finally sitting still to get it over and done with. Seras sighed in relief before squirting the shampoo onto Luna's head before threading her fingers through the dark locks to get them all nice and clean. Luna stiffened, but continued to not fight back.

"All of this over a bit of shampoo," Seras sighed out.

"I hate having my hair washed!" Luna pouted.

Seras couldn't help but smirk. "Well tough, it's got to be done."

Luna then started muttering to herself in that strange language that Seras had heard the two girls using before.

"What is that?" Seras couldn't help but ask.

"What's what?" Luna squeezed her eyes tightly shut as Seras began rinsing the shampoo out of her hair.

"That language you and Lily keep speaking?"

"You mean Romanian?" Luna sounded confused, but her whole body relaxed when Seras was finally finished and pulled her out of the water. She pulled the plug to let the water drain before grabbing another towel and drying Luna off like she had done with Lily. She picked the little girl up and headed back into her chamber where Lily remained waiting still bundled up in her towel, seemingly having a pleasant conversation with Walter as he laid out the clothes on Seras' coffin before folding some away and putting them in the spare set of drawers Seras kept.

"Romanian? You can speak Romanian?" Seras was perplexed.

Luna nodded as Lily chimed in, "You can too mamă! Oh no wait, you're the past version of mummy."

"That's right," Walter praised her. "Whatever language your mother knows in your time, she hasn't learnt them yet, so do try and be patient with her."

Seras felt butterflies in stomach upon Walter referring to her as 'their mother'. It felt weird. Scary, but… also kind of… nice. These two beautiful little girls… they came from her. She'd made them. It just didn't seem real. The reality of the situation just wouldn't stop hitting her over the head like a hammer, turning her brain to mush inside her skull. Sure, the girls were a handful, but Seras also couldn't prevent the warm feeling that was spreading out from her heart and into the rest of her body. It made her want to scoop the girls back up into her arms and never ever let them go.

Luna's giggling brought Seras down from the clouds again. "Mummy was extra silly in the past."

The draculina glanced back down at Luna, still all swaddled up in a towel, and she couldn't help but smile in endearment.

"So I'm not silly in the future?" Seras found herself asking hopefully. Maybe she had finally become someone that people respected – someone her master respected.

"Oh no, you're still silly," Luna answered.

Seras' face fell and she groaned, making both of the twins laugh, and even Walter cracked a smile as he continued to tidy things away, leaving two little nightdresses draped across Seras' coffin.

"But we love our silly mummy," Lily crooned happily, bounding over to the both of them and wrapping her arms around Seras' leg again. All Seras could do was freeze in shock, and her brain seemed to shut down upon hearing those words. Luna gave the frozen vampire a small, tender kiss on the cheek before wrapping her arms around her neck and burying her face in Seras' hair. Again, Seras could do nothing but remain frozen.

It had been so very long since she had heard such words. And they were aimed at… her. The last time anybody had said they loved her was when her parents were still alive. She hadn't felt this much affection and adoration in so many long and lonely years. The only small display of affection she had received between now and her parents' untimely demise was when her master had held her hand as she lay dying. Seras hadn't realised just how touch-starved she had been until now. Until she could now feel two little warm bodies embracing her, relying on her, loving her unconditionally and despite everything.

Her cheek burned where Luna had kissed her, and Seras found herself wrapping her arms tighter around the two of them. In that moment, it felt like it was only the three of them who existed in the entire universe. And Seras wanted it to stay that way. She wanted no one else near these precious jewels that belonged to her. She would kill anyone who got near them or tried to hurt them.

"Miss Victoria?"

Seras gasped, her body jolting slightly as her eyes finally turned to meet Walter's who held slight concern as he watched her warily. His hands were clasped behind his back, but Seras could see that his posture was stiffer than usual, and his furrowed eyebrows wrinkled his face even further.

"Huh? Sorry, what?" Seras shook her head to dispel that strange fuzzy feeling that had overcome her.

"I was asking if you were okay, Miss Victoria," Walter replied, looking even more concerned. "Your eyes started glowing red."

"They what?" Seras dumbly responded.

"Are you hungry? Did you consume your blood rations for today yet?"

Words became trapped behind the lump that had formed in Seras' throat.

"I'm hungry," Luna piped up, pulling away from Seras slightly, followed by Lily who did the same.

"Me too."

Walter chuckled. "Then I will be sure to escort you to the kitchen where we store all the blood. I'll be keeping a close eye on the three of you."

"'Three of you?'" Seras repeated, narrowing her eyes at Walter in annoyance. "What did I do?"

"It's what you didn't do that worries me, Miss Victoria." He smirked as he walked over to them. He patted Seras' head, causing her frown of annoyance to deepen as he patronised her. So he had known that she hadn't been drinking properly. Seras had to repress a sigh at the thought. No doubt Walter would then go blabbing to her master, since the two of them seemed to conspire together to force as much vampire stuff onto her as possible. Why couldn't they all just back off?

"I'll wait outside while you change Miss Luna and Miss Lily into some night clothes." And with that, the butler left, leaving Seras alone again with the two trouble makers.

"Are you in trouble, mummy?" Luna asked with that all too scarily familiar smirk.

Seras quickly looked away before she could freak out, a light blush coating her cheeks. "No! Walter just worries too much, that's all." She bent down to place Luna back down on the floor and pried Lily's arms from around her leg. She gave them a warning look to stay where they were as she headed towards her coffin where Walter had kindly left the nightgowns for her. They were both incredibly small and cute, but relatively simple. They were of white cotton with little white flowers sewn into the hems. Seras just hoped that the pretty white fabric wouldn't be immediately ruined, especially if they were going to be drinking blood. Seras' stomach began to churn nauseously at the thought.

"Soooo," Seras drawled out awkwardly, hoping to finally steer the conversion towards something more useful. She picked up the nightgowns and headed back over to the twins who had thankfully obeyed her silent order. "I'm still 'silly' in the future?"

Both girls laughed as she made sure the both of them were properly dry before pulling the nightdresses over their heads.

"Really silly, and really fun!" Luna proclaimed.

Seras couldn't help but smile as she grabbed her hairbrush and began to brush through Lily's pale locks of hair.

"You're always getting into trouble," Lily added with a sweet giggle.

Seras' eyebrow twitched. "So I haven't change much, then?"

"Oh no, you've changed a lot!" Luna explained as she examined the nightdress she had been placed in. "You're super-duper powerful!"

"And beautiful," Lily gushed.

"And strong!"

"And scary sometimes!"

Seras slowed down her brushing motions as she gulped. She bit her lip as her eyes widened, but she tried to remain as composed as possible. So according to the twins, she did become a powerful vampire in the future. That had to mean that she had embraced her true vampire side, something that she was currently terrified of doing. And she was right to be afraid. She was going to end up changing. Apparently she was still her usual 'silly' self, but… scary? Did she scare her own children? They never seemed frightened of her, just apprehensive when they knew they had displeased her, just like any normal parent-child relationship. So who did she scare? The lump in her throat grew even bigger.

"S-scary?" Seras squeaked out.

"Yeah, like when you get really angry," Luna explained. "You once blew up an entire tower. It was so cool! We heard it all the way down in the nest!"

"W-why would I do something like that?" Seras kept brushing Lily's hair, once again trying her hardest not to freak out.

Luna shrugged.

Seras then took a deep breath, knowing that she needed to keep pressing them for information. Sir Integra was in a foul enough mood as it is, and she didn't want to make things worse by not managing to obtain any information from the twins that might be helpful.

"What about mast – your father?" Seras forced out. "Do you… see much of him?"

"What do you mean?" Lily asked as they both frowned in confusion. "We see him every day?"

Mixed emotions coursed through Seras at that answer. On the one hand, she was glad that her master seemed to play a prominent role in their lives, but on the other hand, this left Seras with even more questions. Questions that she wouldn't be able to ask two young girls. Like, why the fuck did her and her master have kids together?! Why?! How?! It made Seras feel all weird and awkward. Sure, she loved and adored her master, and she was more than happy to serve him, but this was something else entirely! She didn't see her master that way… did she? No! That would just be weird and inappropriate! He was a powerful vampire who had lived for fuck knows how many centuries, and seemed pretty much indestructible. Seras was just… well… just Seras. She wasn't anything special. Certainly not worthy enough to be apparently bearing her master's offspring. The young vampire shuddered.

"Mamă, are you okay?" Luna asked.

"Yeah," Seras managed to gasp out. "I'm just… really confused."

Seras wasn't sure if she could bring herself to ask them anymore questions right now. She shouldn't have asked about her master; that had only gotten her even more freaked out. She should have been focusing more on how they had gotten here in the first place. But her morbid curiosity had gotten the better of her. Gah, she was so stupid! She'd wasted precious time! Precious time that was needed to try and get them back home before her master returned from his mission!

Shaking her head, Seras then turned towards Luna with the hairbrush, but the little girl glared at her and backed away. The draculina sighed, really not wanting to play another game of chase.

"She'll only let Sofia brush her hair," Lily explained, smiling softly as she twirled around in her fresh clothes, looking very much like a beautiful princess.

"I can do it myself!" Luna protested as she reached to grab the brush. Seras relented and handed it to her, watching with slight amusement as the dark haired girl began clumsily brushing her own hair. She winced and growled to herself every time she snagged a knot, practically ripping her own hair out as she tugged on it.

"Who's Sofia?" Seras asked, figuring that maybe she was a close friend of the girls or something.

Lily looked confused for a moment before she laughed. "Oh yeah – past mummy. Sofia's our sister."

Seras felt like the ground had disappeared beneath her feet. The world seemed to tilt on its axis as she felt like she was about to pass out again. But this time, she thankfully didn't. However, that didn't stop the dizzying sensation and the fear and horror that was building up inside her. There was… MORE?! Again, HOW?! WHY? This wasn't making any damn sense! Sister as in… biological sister?! Step sister?! Half-sister?! A… nun? Seras knew it was stupid and futile to hope that the last option was true. Why did the universe seem to hate her so much?

"This is so weird and confusing," Luna grumbled as she continued to fight with her hair.

"You're telling me," Seras squeaked, right as Walter popped his head around the door.

"Is everything alright, ladies? Are you ready to go?" he asked politely.

"Yeah!" both of the girls yelled excitedly at the same time.

Seras said nothing as her whole body went on autopilot, following the two girls and Walter out of her chambers and into the main hallway of the basement levels. Lily and Luna chatted and played as they went, while Seras lagged behind, trying to resist the urge to smash her head against the wall in the hopes that she would wake up from this nightmare. This just had to be someone playing a prank on her. She knew her master could play some sick and twisted games, so maybe it was him that was behind all of this?

"Miss Victoria, are you alright?" Walter whispered back to her, turning slightly to look upon her with concern.

"Just peachy," Seras responded with a forced smile.

Walter sighed as they began making their way out of the basement and into the main parts of the manor. Seras gazed out of the window and could just about see the rising sun peeking out from the tops of the trees. All she wanted to do right now was curl up in her coffin and shut the rest of the world out.

"I'm sure this must be very overwhelming for you."

Seras laughed humourlessly in response. These past twenty-four hours had felt like they had lasted an eternity. Everything had been so normal when she had woken up early in the evening. She reported to Integra as per usual, and was sent on a typical ghoul and chipped vampire extermination mission. Simple. Normal. It had been part of her every day routine since she had become a part of this supernatural world. Now everything was topsy-turvy. Her entire world had been turned upside down. Overwhelming didn't even begin to cover it.

Walter shot her one last sympathetic look before he led them all into one of the smaller kitchens that was mainly used as storage for the blood bags. The freezer was much larger in this kitchen, making it the perfect spot. Seras rarely ever came in here, so she looked around with slight interest. It looked like hardly anyone ever came in here, but that was probably for the best. Despite this though, it looked like Walter kept it very well maintained as there was hardly a speck of dust or dirt in sight.

Seras slumped down over the kitchen isle while Walter continued to make his way towards the freezer. The twins watched curiously, trying to peer around each other and get a better look at everything. They looked like they had never even seen a kitchen before. It seemed that Lily didn't dare touch anything while Luna's eyes became locked on a toaster before making her way towards it. Seras merely sighed, getting up from the table and quietly grabbing hold of Luna's arm so that she could drag her back. She wasn't willing to test just how durable their bodies were.

Walter returned carrying three blood bags which the twins eyed hungrily while Seras eyed them with disgust. She wrinkled her nose as Walter placed them down on the table in front of her. The butler shot her a knowing grin before he handed two of them to Lily and Luna. They stared at the packet curiously before figuring out that they would need to bite into it. Seras watched as they sunk their tiny fangs into the plastic, the action always reminding her of the process of extracting venom from snakes. Their little faces twisted in disgust.

"Ew! It's cold!" Luna cried out grumpily.

"I apologise, Miss Luna." Walter bowed. "But this is all that we have access to. I'm afraid we cannot allow the consumption from a fresh source."

Luna grumbled to herself before forcing herself to keep drinking. Lily did the same, though she kept quieter about her complaints. Meanwhile, Seras stubbornly stared down at her own untouched blood bag, looking at it as if it was a bomb that would explode at any second. She couldn't bring herself to watch as the twins drained the horrific liquid from the bag. Her stomach protested against her stubborn brain. The vampire side of her fought to make her give in. The metallic scent of the blood was both intoxicatingly disgusting yet desirable at the same time. Her throat burned, and Seras knew that there was only one way to soothe it. Walter wasn't going to let her out until she had drunk at least some of it. Plus, she needed to consume at least some for safety reasons.

With a sigh, Seras picked the bag up, trying not to cringe at the firm yet squishy sensation of the blood that had been vacuum packed inside. The label on it read O negative, not that those words meant anything to Seras. Blood was blood. It was all gross and served to remind Seras of the monster that she had become.

Taking a deep breath, she allowed her fangs to pierce the bag and drained as much of it as she could as quickly as possible. The iron and coppery taste was exquisite to her vampire senses, but the inexperienced part of her wanted to gag and spit the foul substance out. But she fought off that urge and managed to pretty much finish the bag in one gulp. She slammed the plastic back down on the marble surface before pushing it away from her.

"Very good, Miss Victoria," Walter complimented. "I'm sure Master Alucard will be most pleased."

Seras grumbled nonsense to herself.

Lily and Luna finished their pack off far less dramatically than the older vampire, and Walter smiled as he took the empty plastic from them and disposed of it. The two girls then both yawned at the same time, and Seras too found herself fighting off a wave of fatigue. It had been such a long day. No doubt it had been for Lily and Luna as well. Hopefully tomorrow, they could get them back home.

Walter chuckled. "It looks like it's bedtime for the vampires."

"I'm not tired!" Luna protested but was soon interrupted by another wide yawn.

Lily didn't even bother trying to hide it as she slumped against her sister, barely managing to keep her eyes open. Luna looked like she was about to push her sister away before she too slumped down, almost toppling the two of them to the floor as she did so. Seras couldn't help but smile at the cute sight, the disgusting blood now all but forgotten about. She scooped them both up, each of them feeling light in her arms as they nestled their faces against Seras' collarbones. The light breathing brushed against her skin, and Walter too smiled at the sight as he led the three of them back into the basement. He opened Seras' chamber door for her, and she smiled at him thankfully as she carried the sleepy vampires into her room.

"You'll be alright keeping an eye on them, won't you?" Walter asked as he remained standing in the doorway. "I'll just be upstairs helping out Sir Integra."

"Of course," Seras replied as she kicked off the lid of her coffin. Did vampire children sleep in coffins? Oh well, this would have to do as it was the only comfortable place in Seras' chambers for them.

"Good day, Miss Victoria," Walter then added before softly closing the door behind him.

Seras listened as his footsteps travelled down the corridor and back up the stairs. She then sighed as she gently laid the twins down against the soft cushions before she climbed in to sit down next to them and keep watch. It seemed that the two girls were now completely fast asleep, and they both curled into tight balls next to each other. All the draculina could do was stare down at them in awe. They truly were wonderful and beautiful creatures, no matter how terrifying Seras found this situation. Will she and her master really bring such lovely and lively girls into the world in the future? Maybe… whatever happened in the future between them was worth it to have Lily and Luna in her life. And so much more, it sounded like.

Seras had always thought that the greatest gift her master had ever given her was a second chance at life. The ability to fight on, cheat death, and live for an eternity. But it seemed he would be giving her something far more precious. She couldn't even bring herself to care to think about the circumstances as she stared down at the sleeping little monsters beneath her. They existed. They were beautiful. They were charming. And they were hers. And they loved her. And… she loved them too. How could she not? They were her flesh and blood. A part of her. And Seras was now beginning to sense that.

Smiling gently to herself, Seras leaned down so that she could plant a soft kiss against their temples. She sunk herself further down into her coffin, making sure that she didn't disturb the twins in the process. She could forget about everything else for now and just enjoy this tender moment. For the first time since she was a child, Seras felt almost complete and content.


A bit of a longer chapter for you all today, and I hope that you enjoyed it. Lily and Luna are so much fun to write, and I'm glad that so many of you have taken an immediate shine to them. I'll hopefully be updating my other Hellsing stories at some point this week, since I now have the week off work (phew). It gives me some much needed writing time! See you again soon!
