"Alucard, what kind of bullets were those!" Sebastian shouted as he held a limp Isabella in his arms.

"Thirteen millimeter with explosive tips." Alucard said as he knelt down beside them.

"Were they blessed?" Sebastian asked frantically.

"Yes, I'm afraid they were." Alucard said, lowering his head.

"Isabella?" Sebastian looked down and placed a chilled hand on Isabella's face. "Isabella, open your eyes, please."

Isabella did not budge, she just lay limp in Sebastian's arms. The bullets Alucard was using were blessed to kill vampires, but were still capable of doing a number on a demon.

"She's not responding, Alucard what can we do?" Sebastian asked.

"I can't believe you fucking shot her!" Jan said, chuckling as he watched all of it unfold before him.

Everyone in the room turned to him, completely forgetting they were still there. Alucard turned as a smile grew on his face and pointed his gun to Luke and Jan. "I think it's time for you to go." He said, his grin never faltering.

Jan helped Luke up from the ground and put his hands in the air. "Alright man, we're fucking leaving. Fuck this shit." They turned their back and began to leave for what used to be the door.

"Why are you letting them go?" Pip asked confusingly as he rubbed the back of his neck.

Alucard turned to him as his grin grew even wider, as if that were possible. "I'm not." He turned back to Jan and Luke and shot them both in the back of the head. They both fell onto their knees and hit the ground. Then all of a sudden, they were surrounded by dazzling, blue flames.

When they were completely decimated, Alucard turned back to Isabella. "She's going to experience a wide array of different pain. The poisons that soaked that bullet were meant to take down a vampire, it won't kill her, but it will be very painful." He explained, as if she were listening.

"But, I know something that will ease the pain a bit." He said as he brought his wrist up to his mouth, biting down on it, causing blood to surface. "Open her mouth Sebastian." He said.

Sebastian placed his hand on either side of her jaw and carefully opened her mouth, revealing a pair of pearly white teeth. He laid her head back on his lap and wrapped an arm around her torso.

If she were conscious, she would have turned it down considering it was blood, but if it would act as a pain reliever, Sebastian knew she would gladly accept it.

Alucard placed his bleeding wrist onto her lips and allowed a few drops to pour out. A sudden bolt of pain shot through Isabella's abdomen, causing her body to jerk away from Alucard.

"She needs more Sebastian." He said, placing his wrist back down.

Sebastian nodded his head and opened her mouth once more. This time, he gave her more than before. The warm liquid flowed down her parched throat and immediately relieved some of the pain, but it was still unbearable. He pulled his wrist away and licked away the remaining drops.

Isabella started to shake as the pain became worse. Her breathing was slowing down as well, along with her heart rate. Sebastian pulled her closer as he realized she was bleeding at an alarming rate.

"She's losing too much blood." He said, turning back to Alucard.

"My blood will help regenerate hers, she will be fine." Alucard said.

"Shhhh, it is alright." Sebstsian whispered in her ear as she shook uncontrollably underneath him.

"It will be alright. It should ease up soon." He said as if she could hear him. He stood up and cradled her in his arms.

Alucard hung his head for a moment. Even though it wasn't intentional to shoot her, he still felt terrible about it.

"I'm going to lay her down so she can get some rest, can the three of you check on the others?" Sebastian said, leaving the room.

Alucard, Pip, and Seras all nodded their heads.

"Sebastian, when my blood wears off, give her some of yours. It will help as well." Alucard said.

Sebastian nodded his head and left for the stairs. When he arrived at his bedroom, he laid Isabella down gently onto his bed and wrapped her up in the warm blankets.

He removed his glove with his teeth and placed the back of his hand on her forehead. "You are burning up my dear." He whispered.

Sebastian went into the washroom and grabbed a hand towel and soaked it in cold water. He came back to Isabella's side a laid it down on her burning skin.

He decided now was an excellent time to give her some of his blood. He bit down on his wrist and opened her mouth. His warm, thick blood flowed out of his veins and slipped down her throat, relieving her from the fever a bit.

He licked away the remaining blood and  removed his shoes and sat down on the bed beside her. He pulled her to his chest and wrapped his arms around her slender torso in an attempt to sweat her fever out, but it would prove to be a tedious task considering how chilled his body was.

He wrapped the blankets around the two of them and hummed softly in her ear.

As far as Sebastian knew, a fever was the only real alarming thing that was happening, but in the inside of Isabella's body, something worse than they could ever imagine was taking place.
