Alucard's P.O.V
After all these years, she still hasn't changed, still has that fire, and spunk of the young girl that I met long before, but has that righteousness and calmness of the women that I loved. She has every right to be angry with me, after all I did kill everyone that she loved, and destroyed her empire. She has every right to think that, but that's not what actually happened; if I didn't kill them, they were going to kill her. She can be (and is) tough as nails and a "bad bitch" as you would say, but she is also very delicate, optimistic, and also naïve. If I had told her the truth, it would break her to the point where she could never be healed or mended. I may not be her lover, or her friend anymore, but I promised her long ago that I would look after her, even if she grow to hate me.

Italy, 1899

Italy was a bit fuzzy but I still do remember where I ,again met her, but this time she had a little friend with her. It was night (of course) and I entered a little dinner in front of Trevi Fountain, looking at all the couples throwing coins in the fountain, making wishes. "Humans are so naïve," I though, "They know that its just a folklore, but they still do it anyway, plus that just a waste of money." About an hour later, I exited the dinner, and that's when I saw her, and the child that she was hugging and kissing. At first it broke my heart, "how could she have another man's child after I told her that she was my mate?" I thought. The thought of another man taking her, made my blood boil. Without knowing, I started to walk, not towards them but to a table that was closer to the fountain. I sat there, watching them for how knows how long. I was about to fall asleep, when I felt a tug on my jacket, I looked down in disgust; I was the boy that my mate was holding. He then waved at me, "Hello, My name is Lucas, What's your name?"  I was about to leave when I heard her sweet voice, "Lucas, honey, this is the man I told you about? Remember the nice man who shared his room with mommy?"  The little boy turned to his mother then turned back to me, and practically jumped into my arms causing Clarissa to laugh. "It's nice to finally meet my daddy!" he beamed and continued to hung me. I looked up at Clarissa in shock.

She continued to giggle, while taking the small boy out of my arms and gently place him on the ground. "Sweetheart, why don't you go to that nice bakery and get yourself a nice hot cup of coco okay?" she politely ordered, as she took out a 20 dollar bill. Lucas took it out of her hands then nodded and ran to the bakery. " Is he really my-" I began. "No." she interrupted, "He just thinks you are because I told him about our relationship with one another." I smirked, "and what, prey tell, is are relationship?"  She turned to me," Close friends, very close friends." We both nodded in agreement, "So, what happened to him? He's a little young to be a vampire, don't you think?" Her smile turned into a sad one as she began, "I found him on the brink of death in his home. I was tracking down a rouge vampire, who was killing off families of three, and found it at their house. He watched both parents being rape by that creature: if I hadn't made it in time, he would had suffered the same fate as them. It took a while for him to adjust to his new life, but I put him in therapy, and soon he grew to love it, he considered me his mother instead of his master, and I like that. I prefer to be called mother then master any day."

I turned my head to Lucas, who was sitting in the window waving at us with whip cream on his lips, then I turned back to Clarissa who was waving back at him smiling, and somehow I found myself waving back to the boy as well. I then took her hand and kissed it, and led her back to the bakery, where, Clarissa, and I talked about are soon to be future together as a family while Lucas was on my lap playing with my long hair. About an hour later, we left the bakery and headed to my hotel. I laid Lucas on the opposite bed  while Clarissa tucked herself in bed. She soon fell asleep, and through the whole night, I watched them both. "Not matter what happens in future, I will always protect you both, even if you both grow to see me as the monster I really am, and disgaurd me like a broken record; I will always look after you." I kissed them both, and soon fell into a blissful sleep.
