Part 7

Seras walked forlorn to the coffin as she and her master prepared to rest for the day. "I'm confused. Before we came to Romania I felt important. Now I just feel pushed to the side. Have I become just a student to my master? Do I mean anything to my master at all anymore?" Seras thought to herself.

Alucard climbed into the coffin. He knew what Seras was feeling. He couldn't understand himself why he suddenly let this affect him. He saw the expression upon his fledgling's face. The flashback on the balcony had left them both feeling confused. "Damnit. Why did I go to that cursed spot again? I've avoided that balcony for centuries. Why is it affecting me now? That was over five hundred years ago. Why should it matter?" He asked himself.

Seras slowly approached the coffin. She began to climb in. She lay perfectly straight instead of clinging to Alucard as she had done in the past. She fought to keep the tears from spilling out of her eyes. But she was crying inside already. All the work she'd done to learn using some of her powers, and hardly any recognition at all from her teacher.

At last Alucard spoke. The sun had not yet risen so he was still awake. "There is something I've kept from you Seras Victoria. Something I did not tell you since we truly became partners."

Seras felt her heart begin to sink. She feared hearing this 'confession' Alucard was about to reveal. "It was a mistake. Getting involved with me was a mistake. That's what he's going to tell me."

"You assume before the words leave my mouth, and you assume wrong." Alucard replied somewhat sternly.

Seras's eyes widened. If her master did care about her, what was this confession he had to tell her? "I don't understand. Ever since you went to the balcony before and after my flying lesson you've not been yourself. I worked so hard to learn using the portal, and even when you expressed your approval it was so...cold. As if my efforts were meaningless." Seras said.

"I've had many brides. They may have held their uses for a little while, but the fascination always wore off. They all seemed to worship me while they were my fledglings. But I knew deep in their hearts they detested calling me their master. I could hear it in their voices, see it in their eyes. They either came to hate me so much they would try to destroy me out of revenge, or their lust to take my power overcame them. Many of my own dark children have died by my hands." Alucard began.

After a pause he continued speaking. "I have sensed none of that in you however. There was one fear within me ever since I turned you. I feared in my heart you would turn out to be the same as all the others. No matter how innocent and good a human may have been, once embraced by the darkness the evil within them came out. And it always reared its ugly head toward me."

"Master, I could never..." Seras began.

"I know that now. You are the only bride I've come to know that has been so devoted to me. The first night we were together I knew I had to have you as my bride. Not many are willing to give their blood to me the way you did. You offered it to me without fear. You accepted me as your master without question or hesitation. I confess these feelings left me confused deep inside. I'm a monster after all. Monsters aren't supposed to be able to love. But somehow you don't see me as many humans do. Even when you were a human, of all the things you may have thought about me, you never thought of me as a monster." Alucard said.

He pulled Seras into the position she was so used to assuming when she slept with her master in their coffin. He pulled her so that she clung to him. Then she heard him speak once more. "I was wrong to assume that you would be like all the others. I was wrong to be judgemental when I knew better. I have no excuse for letting the past affect how I felt about you. I do not do this often if at all, but I ask your forgiveness."

"Master, there's nothing to forgive." Seras answered softly.

"Her death was the last piece of my human life. Perhaps it is that I needed to confront it in the darkness to finally put it to rest." Alucard replied.

"Will you be all right now master? Do you think you're truly put this behind you?" Seras asked.

"Yes. Put your fears to rest Seras Victoria." Her master answered.

"But what of the night when I'm free. I won't belong to you anymore. What will you feel for me then?" Seras asked still feeling a little apprehensive of what she would hear.

"You will always be mine Seras Victoria." Was the elder vampire's responce.

"The sun is coming up. We must rest now." He said.

"Yes master." Seras replied.

"If I did not care about you, would I have gone to such lengths to keep you with me?" He asked Seras mentally. Her answer was to wrap her arms around his waist and cling to him as she had before. As the sun began to rise, the two vampires fell into the death like sleep. Their eyes would remain closed until again the light of day gave way to the dark of night.

**************************************

The day passed silently while Alucard and Seras slept in their coffin. When the sun went down the elder vampire felt the call of the night begin to stir his ancient blood. Seras was still deep in her trance like sleep. She did not feel her body being moved. Her world was black nothingness until she felt something pressed against her lips. Her eyes slowly opened as she began to wake. Seras looked up to find her master sitting beside her. She discovered they were no longer in the coffin, but in their bedroom. She felt the soft bedding against her back.

Alucard leaned over her sleepy form planting yet another kiss upon her mouth. "I thought perhaps desire was a far better distraction for us rather than abject depression." He whispered in her ear. Afterward he sat upright pulling Seras up with him. "There is something I want you to do for me." He said.

"I can imagine." Seras replied.

"I'm being serious. I want you to drink my blood." Alucard said in a hushed tone.

"Master, if I do that then I would be..."

"A true vampire. Seras, I want it to be the way it was before I turned you. I want you to be with me because that is what you want, not out of obligation because I am your master." Alucard interjected.

"But master, I am with you because I want to be. If I didn't want to be with you, I wouldn't have agreed to come with you as a vampire." Seras answered.

"Seras, do you remember the first night we spent together?" Alucard asked.

"Of course I do. A girl doesn't forget a night like that." Seras replied.

"I want this night to be like that first evening we were together in your bedroom; when you willingly surrendered to your desires and to mine. If you become a true vampire, it can be that way again." Alucard said.

"Master, is that really what you want?" Seras questioned.

Seras looked into his crimson eyes and saw just how serious he was about this. He cupped her delicate face in his large hands. "Seras, I want you to take your place at my side as a true daughter of the night, and as my consort. Seras, stand beside me as my partner, not behind me as my subordinate." Was Alucard's answer.

"Do this for yourself Seras. Do this for...us." He said as his clothes, save his pants disappeared from his body. Seras's eyes widened as she became entranced by his ivory white chest. She could see the blood that lay beneathe it and her mouth watered. She opened her mouth as her fangs began to elongate. She began to edge her face closer to his chest, closer to his blood which cried out for her.

But part of her wanted to pull away. Was she really ready for this step? She felt the tiniest bit of hesitancy as she neared closer and closer. The last vestiage of her humanity screamed at her to pull away. But the urge to be a true vampire at last, and to walk beside Alucard as an equal instead of a servant was becoming much stronger.

"Don't deny your desires dark child. Give into them." His voice replied to her in her mind. Her responce was to sink her fangs into his bare chest. His dark blood began to flow into her mouth. She heard a deep groan of both pain and pleasure escape his lips. He felt her claw at his naked skin as she fed. He growled with feral lust as she continued sucking at the bleeding wound.

Seras felt the wound beginning to close as she released it from her hold. She looked up at Alucard with desire filled eyes. Seeing his own blood dripping from her mouth he pulled her to him possessively and kissed her. Before he knew what had happend Seras had him pushed down on his back. She quickly climbed on top of him and straddled him. This time it was she who forced her lips against his pushing her tongue into his mouth. He replied by thrusting his tongue into her mouth as well. They maintained the intense lip lock for several seconds before Seras started kissing down his chin to his neck. He arched backwards as Seras began a trail of frantic kisses and licks across his chest.

While she bathed him with her mouth she dragged her nails which had become rather pointed across his hardened nipples eliciting a series of growls and moans from her lover. Where she left visible scratches on his chest, she dragged her tongue across them. Alucard felt his chest arch forward in responce to Seras's actions. He began panting and growling as her tongue swept over the abrasions she'd left with her nails.

He could feel his arousal straining in the confines of his pants. He also noticed that Seras was getting progressively closer to his midsection. She dismounted him and rather aggressively opened his legs. He looked at her and saw the wicked look in her eye as she started undoing his pants.

She licked her lips as she hungrily eyed his stiff erection. Alucard let his head fall back and gave a loud hiss as she started taking him into her mouth. She took as much of him in as her mouth would hold and let her tongue move against the hard shaft. She began sucking hard on him for a moment. He gasped and moaned loudly feeling her teeth begin to press ever so closely to the delicate skin.

Seras grasped him tightly and began moving her hand up and down. Alucard felt his eyes roll back into his head and the room appeared as if it had started to spin. He gripped the bedclothes tightly. He couldn't believe how good she made him feel. She never had a problem pleasing him, but this was beyond anything she'd made him feel before. His nostrils flared and his eyes flashed red as she started pumping him faster with her hand. The pleasure was almost painful in its intensity, and he loved every minute of it.

He couldn't help but to start taking rapid breaths in and out. His head thrashed from side to side as he pushed himself more into Seras's mouth. She already had half of him engulfed between her lips. Anymore would have choked a normal human female, but Seras, as Alucard came to find out had amazing control over her gag reflex. She was moving her hand up and down with great speed. She had her sire now shouting in uncontrolled exsctacy. They both could sense he was coming close to his release.

Seras waited for just the exact moment, then she cupped him with her other hand and carefully squeezed. She was rewarded with the cry of her name, and her sire's seed down the back of her throat. She continued to suck him until he was dry and flaccid. She withdrew him from her mouth and crawled up to him. Amazingly he had the strength to pull her down to him and firmly kiss her. He tasted the reminants of his seed still in her mouth along with a bit of his blood.

He put his arms tightly around Seras and sat up. Then he pushed her down onto her back. His lips were still firmly locked onto her mouth as he started undoing her shirt. She laid back compliantly with her arms spread wide. Alucard pushed her bra down enough to expose her breasts. She moaned as he cupped them with his hands and took one of her now hard nipples into his mouth. He rolled his long tongue along the pink bud while he rolled and pinched the other with his left hand.

Seras slid her arms under his and pressed her fingers into his back. Her legs began to shift uncomfortably as she felt the sensations of her breasts travel down her spine to her womanhood. At first Alucard was laying over her pinning her body down with his own. He shifted so that he lay beside her. In the midst of her rapture she felt a sharp sting on her right breast. Hungering for some of her blood, Alucard bit into her breast and drew enough to feed satiate his bloodlust. She remembered he said a woman's breast was his second favorite place to feed from.

The mix of pleasure and pain felt incredible as she moaned loudly. Alucard didn't take too much as he wanted her strong enough to continue their aurdors. He lapped the scarlet fluid as it seeped from the tiny holes left by his fangs. While he continued feasting on her breasts he slid one hand down to her skirt and started pulling it up. Seras squirmed and clawed at Alucard's back as he worked her cotton briefs down her legs. She bent her legs at the knees so he could get them down and off of her quicker.

After he'd stripped her of her underwear he pushed his hand between her legs. He slid his index and middle fingers between the folds and found she was already quite slick. He began massaging her throbbing nub while also pressing his lips against her neck. Seras cried out as the shock of the sensations surged through her body. Her back arched as she pushed herself hard against his invading hand. Her groans were soon stifled by Alucard's mouth pressed hard against hers. She pushed her body against his, pleasure coursing through all of her limbs.

In the midsts of pleasuring his bride he caught the scent of her arousal. In turn that scent triggered a renewl in his own desires. He could feel himself growing hard once again. He started pressing hard against Seras's center. She let out one groan after another. Every touch made her slicker and hotter.

"Please...please I want you inside me. Now." Seras gasped. Her legs opened as an invitation for her former master to lie between them. It was an offer he was certainly not going to refuse. He quickly pushed inside her throbbing core. She wrapped her legs around his hips as he started thrusting hard within her. Seras dragged her nails down his back leaving scratch marks across his spine. He growled and moved faster within her. Seras groaned as she arched her back and whipped her head from side to side wildly.

She suddenly pressed her hands against Alucard's chest forcing him to roll over onto his back. Now in the dominant position she started pushing her hips frantically against him. He arched his back driving himself deeper within her. Her eyes flashed red with feral lust as she bent down and claimed his mouth with hers. She couldn't believe the strength that now coursed through her as she pushed herself harder against him. As she continued to ride him at her rapid pace he grabbed her breasts massaging them roughly. This caused her to toss her head back crying out with unbridled abandon.

As she continued pushing herself against him she felt something creeping between her legs. In the throws of excstacy she didn't notice Alucard had released part of his shadows. The tendril began flicking and tickling her most sensitive area. She thought she would go insane that very moment. Her body was already overloaded with sensation and this drove her over the edge.

"Ahhhhlucard!" She screamed as her inner walls tightened around the hard length. Feeling her constrict around him Alucard roared as her body forced release from him. His seed spilled within her once again. He held tightly to her hips as his body spasmed along with hers. As the moment passed they both quieted down. Seras collasped onto Alucard's chest feeling completely drained from such intensity.

Not wanting her to get up just yet, Alucard wrapped his long arms around her. He also felt drained of quite a bit of his energy. It had been a long time indeed since a woman had taken him to such rapturous heights.

"Alucard..." Seras said wearily.

"Shhh, my bride, my dark princess. Don't speak. Just lay with me." Alucard replied as he gently stroked Seras's hair. Neither of them had any idea of the chaos that was about to ensue. For the moment they could only lay on their bed and regain their strength.
