Her Vampire Knight, His Vampire Princess

Epilogue Short Story Part 3/3

"Alondra, please you have to wait here!" Ichiru keeps insisting with me. I try to go past him, but others are keeping me in check as well.

"I have to see Zero! I want to go save him!" I yell. Ichiru finally grips my shoulders and looks at me hard.

"You're in no condition to help! You'd only weigh us down. If you won't do this for me or yourself then do this for your sons! My nephews! Quit being so reckless!" He yells at me for the first time. I stop struggling and push away from him. I look down at the ground ashamed. He was right. I shouldn't risk my sons like this.

"Alondra?! What is it?!" Ichiru exclaims once I begin to hurt.

"Th-they're coming!" I yell as the contractions get worse. Ichiru curses under his breath.

"I'll take her to the hospital." Yuki offers. Ichiru gives her a grateful glance. They both rush me to a vehicle and rush me over to the hospital.

"Well today is the day." Sara Shirabuki says the moment Zero becomes conscious again. His vision is still blurry so he blinks a couple of times focusing on the voice of the obsessed pureblood. "I wonder how your lover is doing?" She says mockingly. Zero tries to lunge at her, but he is still chained down.

"Damn you! Don't you dare go near Alondra!" He yells at her. She lightly chuckles. She tortures him with a small vile blood. To be exact it was a small sample of Alondra's blood. The scent goes towards Zero. His hunger is strong and the scent of her blood is an ache to his heart and his lust for blood.

He reaches out to her, but can't push through because she's in a lot of pain. He can't figure out why. He thinks of awful things, and desperately tries to free himself. Sara watches for a bit and then leaves him like every time she goes to see him. Cursing at her.

"Rei." I stroke my eldest baby's silver hair. I stifle a sob. He's going to grow up to look a lot like Zero. Only difference is that Rei's eyes are brown like mine.

"Atsuko." I turn towards my youngest baby. I pick him up because he started fussing around. I fix the little hat on his brown hair. He opens his little eyes and looks at me with those beautiful lavender eyes. He gives me an adorable smile and closes his eyes.

With them here now I feel some comfort. I still wish Zero was here to see this, but I still haven't gotten word from Ichiru and the others. I sit down with Atsuko in my arms near Rei.

"My goodness they're going to grow up to be handsome young men like their father." I'm startled by someone. I look around and spot a beautiful woman with long, curly blond hair. I have no idea how she got in, but from the feeling I get from her she must be a pureblood. I hold Atsuko closer to me and block Rei from her view. I don't trust her the moment I see her.

"Who are you?" I demand. She gives me a sweet smile, but I can feel the venom in it. She takes a step forward as I fight the urge to step back. Atsuko and Rei sense my discomfort and her menacing aura considering they are crying.

I press Atsuko closer to me and try to comfort Rei as well. The woman continues to watch us. If Atsuko wasn't in my arms I would have summoned my blue and black rose guns. It's been a while since I last used them.

"Who are you?!" I repeat with more force this time. In a blink of my eyes she is inches away from my face. I try to step back, but she holds me in place with her arms. That causes Atsuko to cry louder and harder.
