Moonlight Seductions

Chapter Twenty Four

A small beam of moonlight shyly peaked out from beneath the dark rain clouds in the sky as the concealing

black shadows melted away to reveal the Gothic looking rooftop of St. Rose's Church. As they appeared behind one of

the angel statues which stood at the very edge of the roof, Seras finally opened her eyes as tendrils of shadowy black

smoke slowly curled away from her face. Large statues of gargoyles as well as angels damp with rain, held silent vigile

over the headless corpses of the unfortunate villagers of Briar. "Damn it!" Alucard snarled deeply into her ear as his red

eyes flared with rage and his left hand curled tightly around the edge of the feather carved wing. Hundreds of bible pages

angrily swirled around the abandoned clinic and instantly nailed themselves above the wooden door frame as well as above

the cracked glass windows. "Alucard, what is it?" Seras asked quietly as she gently placed her hand against the back of his

sealed glove and leaned around the edge of the folded wing. "Just as I thought! A barrier!" he whispered angrily as he

continued to glare down at the brick building. "He just placed it around the clinic...which is why I didn't want us to stay

inside. If he had placed that around the church...we would not have been able to escape" he snarled furiously as he stared

down into her face with savage red eyes that glowed eerily in the darkness that surrounded them. "I've...underestimated

him" he snarled angrily to himself as he pulled his eyes away from her to stare down at the glowing white pages. "Seras"

he quietly whispered as he lifted his hand from the damp stone and gently gripped the back of her shoulders in his gloved

hands. He slowly turned her around to face him as he looked away from the clinic. "I want you to leave...right now!" he

whispered harshly as she lifted her hand to his slashed face. Tenderly tracing the oozing wound with the tip of her finger,

she slowly brought the blood coated digit to her mouth and stared directly into his red eyes. Erotically licking the bloody

tip of her index finger, moaned heatedly as the wine rich taste of his blood filled her mouth. A sudden gasp fell from her

lips as her eyes snapped open to stare into Alucard's grim featured face. He roughly shoved her up against the hardness

of the stone statue behind her. "Do not play your seductive games with me now Seras!" he snarled darkly as she slowly

tilted her head back and looked at him with through her lashes. "Who said anything about this being a game?" she breathed

hotly as she suddenly exposed the right side of her vulnerable throat to his hungry red gaze. "Seras" he growled softly as

he stared at pulsing vein which raced with her delicious and life giving blood and hungrily ran his tongue against his

parted lips. His fangs slid down and slowly lengthened until the sharp tips protruded past the corners of his mouth. "I'll

never leave you Alucard...never" she quietly whispered as a furious snarl of rage escaped from between his clenched teeth.

"What?" You dare to defy me in this? A vampire you may be my dear...but you will always..." he raggedly broke off his

angrily whispered words as he suddenly bared his extended fangs in an angry hiss. Lowering his right hand to the small of

her back, he tightly jerked her hips into his own. "Alucard...mmm, yes" she moaned softly as his growing erection jerked

lustfully against her stomach. A deep growl full of lust and desire rumbled inside his chest as he leaned into her and

cradled the back of her head in his left hand. "Even if you come to hate...and despise me one day, you will always be

mine...Seras" he whispered quietly as he pressed his mouth against the soft flesh of her throat in a scorching hot kiss. A

soft gasp escaped her lips as her eyes flared widely at his whispered words. Her heart pounded rapidly inside her chest

as he lightly scraped his extended fangs down to her racing pulse. Closing her eyes, she replayed his whispered words

inside her mind and began to smile as they finally sank deep down inside her heart and caused blood tears full of love and

hope to slowly trickle down her pale face. "I love you Alucard, I'll always love you" she softly whispered as her heart beat

madly against his chest. Wetly licking the flesh just above the pulsing vein which raced with her wine rich blood, Alucard

slowly closed his eyes and savored her softly spoken words as he erotically nicked her smooth skin with his fangs. "We'll

see" he whispered quietly against her throat as he finally sank his fangs deep inside. Her hot blood gushed eagerly into

his waiting mouth as a harsh groan vibrated against her throat. Raising his gloved hand to her breast, he suddenly

cupped and squeezed the heavy mound of flesh with his large palm as he swallowed another mouthful of blood. Gently

pinching the little nipple into hardening against his palm, Alucard gently tilted her head to the side and deepened his

wicked bite against her throat. Gasping sharply as his fangs sliced even further into her flesh, Seras closed her eyes and

moaned as pleasure and angrily against the wooden floor of the church below them, caused Alucard to snap open his

eyes and quickly withdraw his fangs. His eyes snapped towards the wooden door as Seras slowly opened her own eyes

and silently listened to the thumps which steadily crept closer. "How can we kill...what regenerates every single wound we

inflict?" she quietly whispered as he jerked his head away from the door and stared down into her questioning eyes.

"There is no we Seras!" he snarled angrily as the sound of the footsteps continued to get closer and closer. "I have

already told you to leave...do not make me say it again" he whispered darkly as he stepped back from her and stalked

towards the wooden door. "Alright, I'll...leave" she whispered softly as she walked towards the edge of the roof and

glanced back over her shoulder, "You're the only thing that matters to me Alucard...if you were to die..." she whispered

quietly as the footsteps suddenly came to a halt behind the small wooden door...

Reaching down, Anderson curled his hand around the coldness of the metal doorknob and slowly twisted his

wrist until he heard a quiet click. Easing the door open, he tightly clenched his fists around the black hilts of his

blessed blades and kicked the door open with a snarl full of rage. As the door slammed back against the stone

wall, he slowly stepped out onto the empty rooftop. His green eyes narrowed into angry slits as he scanned the dark

shadows. "Show yourself Alucard! Stop your god damned hiding!" he shouted as his footsteps clicked loudly against the wet

stone floor. "Why on earth would I hide?" a sinister voice snarled from the shadows as Anderson whipped around and

stared into glowing red eyes which glared at him from the darkness. "I fear nothing in this world...least of all you. A pathetic

priest who longs for blood...just as much as any vampire." he sneered darkly as he suddenly materialized directly behind

him and lifted his hands to cup the side of his head. "You're a fucking dog Anderson, and only a man...can kill a

monster. I do wonder though...what it will take...to kill a regenerating piece of shit like you?" he snarled viciously as

he violently twisted his hands to the left. The loud crack of his neck bone snapping seemed to echo in the night as

Anderson slumped to the floor with a heavy thump. His head resting at an odd angle, he stared up at Alucard and grinned

insanely. "You'll die here tonight" he whispered madly as an eerie laugh escaped his lips. Growling deep in his throat,

Alucard lifted his booted foot and cruelly stomped Anderson in the face until all that was left was a pile of mush. "Maybe

that will do it...what do you think...police girl?" he snarled angrily as she stepped out of the shadows and walked towards

him. Wrapping her arms around his waist, she leaned into him and rested her head against his large chest. "Please forgive

me Alucard, but I just...I just couldn't leave you" she softly whispered as his hands gently rubbed up and down her back in

a soothing motion. "Perhaps I'll forgive you...later" he whispered teasingly as he gripped her shoulders and slightly

pulled her away to stare down into her eyes. Lifting his hand, he smoothed her hair back away from her face and leaned

down to press a gentle kiss against her lips. "Cling to the shadows then...and wait for me. I don't want you getting hurt." his

deep voice whispered inside her mind as he stepped away from her and glared down into the slowly regenerating face of

Father Anderson. Returning to her hiding spot behind one of the angel statues, she lifted her hands to the wet stone as

Alucard bend down and wrapped his hands around the black hilts of the blessed blades. Gritting his teeth at the pain that

smoldered his flesh within his gloves, he snarled painfully as he shifted his gaze out towards the woods that surrounded

the side of the church and threw the swords deep into the darkness of the forest. "You god damned abomination!"

Anderson snarled as he slowly rose to his feet. Curling her fingers against the carved stone wing, Seras slowly bent down

and curled her right hand around the goldent hilt of the dagger tucked into her black boot. Sliding it free, she straightened

and watched anxiously as Anderson angrily threw his robe to the side and withdrew a silver bayonet from the leather

scabbard strapped across his left hip. As the moonlight reflected in the blade, Seras knew that this weapon was just as

blessed as the other ones. "Alucard" she fearfully whispered to herself as she clenched her hand around the hilt of her

own weapon and wondered how they were ever going to kill this priest, who refused to die...

Summoning his black shadows, Alucard curled them around Anderson's wrists and laughed cruelly as he grindingly crushed

the bones into dust. Anderson gritted his teeth tightly against the pain as the loud clang of metal hitting stone resounded

into the night. Materializing in front of the priest, he angrily kicked the blade away with his foot and reached out to

wrap his gloved hand around the large cross which dangled from Anderson's neck on a delicate chain of gold. Snarling at

the pain which caused his hand to smoke, he glared into Anderson's green eyes and snapped the chain with a furious flick

of his wrist. "You're not fit to wear such a holy symbol as this...Judas priest." he taunted in an evil sounding voice as he

slung his arm out and threw the necklace away from the church and into the dark woods which surrounded the side of the

church. "God damn you!" Anderson shouted insanely as he reached down and gripped two small daggers from his

waistband and fisted them angrily in his newly regenerated hands. Lunging towards him, Anderson knocked him back into

the stone wall behind him. Anderson savagely stabbed blades deep into the center of his gloved palms and didn't stop

until the blades were lodged deeply within the hard stone as well. His tortured scream ripped raggedly from his throat and

resounded around the village as the dark clouds slowly slithered away from the moon once more. Dark red blood welled

around the tips of her fangs as Seras ripped them out of her bottom lip and tightened her hand around the hilt of her

dagger. Stepping out from behind the statue, she drew her arm back and suddenly threw it deeply into the back of Father

Anderson's head. Blood splattered Alucard's face as he stared at the metal tip of the bloodstained blade which protruded

from the center of the priest's forehead. Gritting his teeth against the burning pain in his hands, he looked over Anderson's

shoulder and stared into Seras's eyes. "Damn it Seras! Don't risk your life for me! I'm not...fucking worth it!" he snarled

angrily into her mind as a slow grin twisted Anderson's lips quite insanely. Reaching behind him, he wrapped his hand

around the hilt of the blade and wetly withdrew it from his skull. As he slowly started to turn around, Alucard painfully tried

to jerk his hands free from the burning blades. "Shit!" he rasped painfully as the burning metal blades sliced deeply into

his hands and caused even more blood to pour from his throbbing hands. "Seras" he silently breathed as he stared into

her beautiful face a second before he lifted his right foot and brutally kicked Anderson between the legs before he could

turn around completely. His shout of pain echoed around the entire village as he fell to the floor and curled into himself as

whimpers of pain fell from his trembling lips. "So, you do have a pair...after all...or did" Alcuard panted mockingly as Anderson

snarled insanely and tightly cupped himself in a futile attempt to relive the excruciating pain. "Tell me something

priest...can you regenerate...everything?" Alucard laughed tauntingly as black smoke curled up

from his bleeding hands. Sliding his hand against the wet stone floor, Anderson curled his hand around the hilt of his

sword and painfully rose to his feet. As he curled his fingers around the hilt of another bayonet which was strapped

against the right side of his hip beneath his robe, he slowly began to limp towards Alucard with a definite hunch to his

back. Another laugh fell from Alucard's lips as he glared into his demented green eyes, "What's the matter Anderson? Can't

you regenerate a pair of busted balls?" he taunted mockingly as the cool wind blew a strand of his black hair into his red

eyes. "As soon as I kill you...your filthy little whore is next Alucard" he seethed hatefully as he lifted the tip of the

blade to Alucard's heart and slowly began to sink the blade deep inside his heart. Alucard's red eyes flared widely in his

pale face as he felt the blade slice through his flesh and down into the rapidly pumping organ. An agonized moan rumbled

in his chest and suddenly turned into an agonized scream as the burning tip of the sank deep inside his undead heart.

Alucard felt his blood rushing up his throat and spewing from his gaping mouth as Anderson viciously twisted the blade

from side to side inside his chest. A scream full of agony ripped past his blood stained lips as Anderson continued to twist

the blade with sadistic glee. "How does that feel?" he taunted him as he grinned insanely into his agonized face. His red

eyes flared at the words which another sick bastard had taunted him with. "I'll rip..your fucking...guts out!" he gurgled

wetly as his vision slowly began to darken. "And how will you managed that?" he sneered into his face when he suddenly

gasped painfully at the burning pain in his throat. Jerking his green gaze to the right, he stared into a pair of blazing red

eyes. "So the vampire whore has come to save her master has she?" he sneered as he glared into Seras's eyes and

viciously twisted the blade even more deeply into Alucard's heart. A wail of torment erupted from Alucard's mouth as a

venomous hiss of rage fell from her lips. With blood pouring from her eyes she sank her claws deep into Anderson's throat

and squeezed until she heard the distinct sound of his windpipe crushing beneath her hand. Flinging him behind her into

one of the large gargoyle statues which stood at the edge of the roof, a loud crash of stone breaking sounded behind her

as she gripped the black hilt of the bayonet and stared into Alucard's pain filled eyes. "Alucard no" she whispered brokenly

as she gently slid the blade out of his pierced heart. As it fell from her smoking fingers, she reached down and quickly

pulled the daggers out of his hands. Wrapping her arms around his waist, she caught him to her as he weakly fell away

from the stone wall and into her arms. "Seras" he softly whispered against her throat as she bared her neck to him and

silently urged him to drink from her. "It would do no good...nothing can save you from a pierced heart. Nothing. No amount of

blood can save you" he whispered quietly against the smoothness of her skin as he stared up at the black clouds that

threatened to steal the moonlight away once more. "Did I ever tell you...that...only a man can truly kill...a monster such as

me?" he raggedly breathed as he stared blindly up at the night sky. The sound of his blood splashing into the crimson

puddle at his feet reached her ears as she hugged him to her tightly and closed her eyes. "You're no monster" she tearfully

whispered as blood spilled from beneath her closed eyelid at the thought of losing him forever. "I've already told you...you'll

never be a monster...to me" she cried painfully as he shifted his eyes towards the slowly retreating moon and gently slid

his bleeding hands around her slim waist. "Monster..." he breathed softly as a sliver of moonlight bathed his pale face a

second before it plunged them into the darkness of the night once more. "a true monster" he whispered softly as his blood

dripped from his parted lips to splash gently against her shoulder. Staring up into the dark sky, he felt his heartbeats

slowing as his eyes slowly began to drift shut...
