[ As Alucard sleeps Trevor lies next to him, stroking his fur. It's all they get right now, a few hours of rest and happiness, before they have to return to the world as it is, and it ends all too soon.

The night begins in the worst possible way, and it immediately becomes a fortunate thing that Alucard asked him to be here. He walks behind Carmilla as she's led to the office. Once she's there he does not sit and he does not take his hand from the handle of the Vampire Killer.

And then she explains her grievance.

Trevor doesn't often speak at these meetings, but he knows a weakness to strike at when he sees one. Carmilla doesn't know what's happening. She doesn't understand the gravity of the crime. Trevor can inform her of it, and then Alucard can offer her an escape from it. ]

You came here to admit, then, that you are the one who has been going about turning children, violating Dracula's first edict? [ He growls, fingers curling more tightly around the Vampire Killer. Oh, they know it's not her. But she doesn't know they understand that. It's a weakness that Alucard can use. And fuck, it's gratifying to see the look on her face. ]
